Realizing

Chapter one: Sakura's Sadness

Sakura set alone, a bench not far from a lake she called Sakura Lake, it was always there for her, by her side, as if it was her friend. But now she wanted living company, company of someone. Since a couple months ago, the boy who was always in her dreams, who she drooled over but that never cared for her, Sasuke, left with that demon Orichimaru! Kakashi sensei left for many mission, plus, she doesn't want a grown up's company! She was even becoming so desperate not to be alone, she would hang with Naruto! But he left to get Sasuke.

She never realized how much she really cared for them, her parents died in a mission. The only one left was Ino, but since she was with her Team she had no time with no else! All the people that meant to her were all gone. She was alone.

She started to cry, she started thinking about all those times with her team. The happy moments and the not so good moments, even about fights like with Zabuza or the sound ninja team. At first she was silent, her tears won't heard in the pouring rain that came. It seemed as if no one wanted to hear her, since no one cared for her. She stood up, got to go home now. She started walking out of the park, Haruno Park that was a memorial to her parents and she walked to the street.

She walked down that path, that silent path that other people walked upon, but even with so many people, no one noticed that the kunoichi was crying. She turned from the side of the road and into the road. She wasn't watching where she was going.

Suddenly she began to feel dizzy, just standing there, going back and forth. When suddenly she blacked out. Her head smashed hard on the paved road. She smiled as she saw blood coming from her head. It didn't matter. No one wanted to know her, if she died, no one would have to worry about her and she would be put out of her misery.

But unexpectedly, two strong arms lifted her up, so light, like a cloud. This is it. She told herself as she closed her eyes. Before she finally blacked out, she saw green and the face of someone she knew, worried. But she couldn't make it out. Her eyes fell close and her head dropped.

She was out for a long time. She was starting to open her eyes a long time afterward, her body was the air, flowing a bit, someone was carrying her, yes, yes, she was starting to remember. She lifted her head and gasped, it was Rock Lee.

"Lee, what are you doing here, where am I." "You passed out in the middle of the street, so when I saw you, I picked you up and decided to take you to my house. You know I don't know where your house is." Lee smiled, but blushing also. "Where would you like me to take you?" "Doesn't matter." Sakura said before she blacked out again, her last thoughts were maybe, I'm not alone as I thought… I still have... but she didn't even get to finish her own thoughts.

Sakura began to feel like she was laced on something soft, since she was half awake, she thought it felt like a cloud. She never moved from this spot for what she knew of that night. What it was, was a bed. Lee slowly placed her on his bed and sighed. "poor Sakura." He left his room and came back with a blanket and pillow for himself. He hugged Sakura good night, even if she was out, but when he let go, she was shivering and grabbing out. He wrapped his arms around her and she stopped. Lee smiled and didn't let go of her until he knew she was full asleep. When he did let go he whimpered, he didn't want to let go.

He slept on the floor, no matter how uncomfortable it was.

It was morning and Lee already was eating, he didn't eat much. He wanted to keep a eye on Sakura. Before he ate, he took a look at Sakura and then left, but when he was done, he found Sakura sitting up on the bed, holding a pillow and smiling.

Lee smiled. "Good, you're awake. But how is your head." "It doesn't hurt much, why, oh, why also is there dried blood?" "Remember, you fell last night and gashed your, beautiful head. If you are fine, come on, lets eat." In a flash Sakura was out of bed and took off past Lee. She opened a door, just any door she saw and ran in.

Lee held in a laugh. It was hard, but he managed. "She definitely is okay, but still… um Sakura, that's…"

"This isn't the kitchen! This is a closet full of Gai sensei and Lee memorial! Why didn't you tell me it was a closet!"

"I was about to." Said Lee as Sakura came out with blankets and other closet stuff all over her. " I think I broke that memorial." She said, Lee still laughed and easily fixed it.

While Sakura ate, she ate a lot! A lot more than Lee! Lee was scared that because she was eating so fast she would get her beautiful face dirty. "Sakura, why are eating like this?" "When my team left and stuff, I'm been so depressed I haven't had a decent meal in a long time." "Well, have as much as you like." Lee smiled.

Sakura ate for a long time but did stop. For a while spent a long tie just thanking Lee for letting her stay but saying he should of stayed in his bed. "No, you were injured. You needed it more than me." No matter what Sakura said, Lee wouldn't budge.
