Lee leapt from tree to tree, anxious to finally get home to the Hidden Leaf village. He eventually completed his ridiculous escort mission, by himself, far to the north east of Konoha to the Hidden Cloud village. The land of Lightning was certainly a beautiful place to be, but to get there, you had to pass between the Hidden Sound AND the Hidden Mist village. Frankly, Lee believed it to be suicide of the highest order, but somehow he made it back in one piece, without as much as a scratch. Mission accomplished. Youth prevails again.
Lee saw just ahead of him a beauty that not even the land of Lightning's views could even compare to. His angel. His Sakura San.
No. Not his. Her heart belonged to someone he could not compete with. Sasuke of the infamous Uchiha clan, powerful beyond compare and heart throb to all females in the Hidden Leaf village whereas Lee, well Lee was just another Spandex wearing, bowl cut sporting, freak with no particular talents whatsoever.
Whilst Lee was wrapped up in his own thoughts, he didn't even notice that he landed headfirst into the Kunochi before him. Sakura released a small squeal as they both fell awkwardly, Lee pulling Sakura over him so she could land on his soft body instead of the hard ground beneath, arms holding her tightly.
'Ow…Lee. Watch where you're going next time,' Sakura said softly, raising her head off Lee's chest.
'I'm sorry Sakura-san! My deepest apologies, please allow me to run 100 laps around Konoha as a punishment, and if I cannot do that, then I shall…'
'LEE!' Sakura shouted, stopping him dead in his rambling. His face reddened slightly as he released his vice grip on Sakura. 'Do you really have to apologize so much? It's not like you were trying to hurt me on purpose, were you?'
'No, no Sakura-san! I wouldn't try and hurt you, I can not! I mean, I said…that I would…' Lee babbled before slowly silencing himself. He looked away from Sakura, who giggled lightly. The way he was always so nervous around Sakura was so sweet, cute even.
Wait, what? Cute?
'Erm, Sakura San? I do not mean to sound rude, but could you please get off me? It is just that there is a rather sharp rock beneath me and it is beginning to hurt.'
'Oh! Sorry Lee,' she yelped, jumping off him quickly. Lee groaned slightly as he got up, blood trickling from the small his back.
'Lee-kun! You're hurt!'
'It is nothing.'
'No, let me help you.'
'But I would rather not trouble you.'
'Lee,' Sakura said sternly. 'I am a medical nin and as your doctor, I recommend you allow me to treat your injury should you wish for it not to become infected.'
'But…'
Sakura stood up on her toes; lips brushing teasingly against his cheek and whispered softly in his ear 'Please…Lee-kun.' Lee gulped nervously. Kun? Did she call him Lee-kun?
Sakura took advantage of his silence and pulled out some medical supplies from her bag.
'Lee, I'm going to have to ask you to remove your shirt.'
Lee blinked. 'I…what now?' Sakura held up some antiseptic wipes and continued to pull out some bandages. 'Oh…' He tugged the neck of his shirt and pulled out his arms, rolling the spandex suit down past his injury.
Sakura prepared her wipes paused. Lee was hot. She cocked her head, staring at his abs. She stood watching for over two minutes before…
'Sakura-san, please stop looking at me like that.'
'Ah! Sorry Lee!' She walked around the Chuunin. 'This may sting a bit.' Sakura lightly wiped the blood away from the cut. Lee took a sharp gasp. 'My apologies, Lee-kun.' Lee chuckled lightly to himself.
'Sakura-san, must you always apologize? It's not like you are trying to hurt me on purpose,' he said, turning to smile at a blushing Sakura.
'Oh shut up.' She placed a cotton pad to his wound and carefully wrapped a bandage around his well-molded body, hands almost casually feeling the diameter of his body. Lee twitched involuntarily before she finally used up the last of the bandage and tying it in a neat knot over the injury. Sighing contently, Sakura placed her head on his back, arms weaving their way around his bare midriff. She could hear his heart racing abnormally fast as Lee stood unusually stiff, not speaking a word, not wishing to spoil the moment.
Gradually, she let go, stood on her toes and whispered in Lee's ear: 'Lee-kun. Please allow me to say this one more time.' Sakura paused, breathing in slowly.
'I'm sorry.'
Lee reeled round. Sakura was gone. What was she sorry for? Lee sighed and pulled on the top half of his jumpsuit, trudging back towards the gates of Konoha, knowing that he had yet again let Sakura slip through his bandaged fingers.
