Ths is the 1st chapter, and I hope to get the next ones up soon. I would appreciate reviews, and if you MUST flame, then go ahead, but it really isn't helping anyone. Well, I hope you enjoy!

It was a lovely day in the Leaf village; the lotus flowers were in bloom, the variety of birds that thrived there were singing their hearts out. And one particular ninja was screaming his heart out. "I want RAMEN! I'm going to be late for class if I don't get some right now!" Naruto, the blond bombshell, was trying to push his way to the front of the extremely long line at the Ichiraku Noodle Shop. At the back of the line were some comrades; Neji, Shikamaru, Rock Lee, Kiba, and Sasuke, embarrassed to even be seen with the kid. "When I become hokage, you guys are all gonna get it, believe it!" He screeched as the crowd threw him back to the end of the line. Shikamaru grabbed him by his flamboyant orange jumpsuit and looked him in the eye. "Will you just shut up? You are gonna get us all kicked out before we even get something to eat! You are such a drag." Shikamaru dropped him and looked the other direction, pretending he didn't even know Naruto. Neji was spacing out during the whole thing, or so it seemed. His eyes were on nothing in particular, and it seemed like he was in his own little world. Kiba was a bit off from the noodle shop playing fetch with Akamaru, while Lee was too busy looking for the perfect flower for Sakura. He paid the flower cart owner once he picked out a yellow daffodil. He returned to the group, he started practicing his love speech with himself, a little louder than was probably intended. "Sakura, this flower represents my undying love for you. I will protect you with my life and love you always. Will you be mine? You will? Wonderful." Once he escaped his dream world, a deep red blush overcame his face when he realized all the guys were staring at him with "What the hell?" expressions on their faces. He slowly said, "I am-uh- just going to see how the girls are doing at the table over there" and crept away slowly, feeling ridiculed. He started heading over to a table shaded with an umbrella where Ino, Sakura, Tenten, Hinata, and Temari were sitting. They were gossiping and giggling, much like Lee thought they would be doing. Lee already had his love-speech planned out, and he was thinking of a charming way to go by it. His thinking was interrupted when he heard Naruto cursing about something. What a fool he was. Lee approached the table and gingerly tapped Sakura on the shoulder.

"Hello, Sakura? It is me, Rock Lee, and I just wanted to say that I uh- well, I wanted to tell you that, um.." He soon realized that taijutsu was nowhere near as hard as talking to a beautiful girl. Everything was so much easier in his head, but he was starting to feel that Sakura was just waiting for him to mess up. He could hear the other girls chattering and laughing about the situation.

"Well? What do you want? Out with it already!" Sakura said in her rude manner. You could tell by the look on her face that she was embarrassed to even be seen with Lee.

She started to blush out of embarrassment, but not out of love.

Lee hesitantly placed the flower in front of Sakura. "Sakura, have this flower; a beautiful flower for a beautiful girl." He was overly embarrassed at the fact that he couldn't even

get out the words without messing up. Tenten stopped her conversation and tried to help her partner along. "You look very beautiful today." She mouthed to him.

"Sakura, you look very beautiful today. Would you- would you be my girlfriend?"

There was a long, very, very, very awkward silence. It seemed as though Sakura couldn't decide if she wanted to strangle him or cut him into a million pieces. She finally screamed so the whole world could hear, "Lee, for the MILLIONTH time I DON'T LIKE YOU!!! AS A MATTER OF FACT, I HATE YOU FOR MAKING ME LOOK SO STUPID!" And with that, she poured her green tea that she was previously sipping all over his head. She then took the flower that Lee had given her and threw it to the floor as she started to leave.

Lee was left soggy and gloomy. "Lee, I am very sorry about that. I am sure she didn't mean it." Hinata tried to comfort him but it obviously didn't work.

"God, that Sakura sure is a freak. And she calls me a pig!" Ino added.

Temari comfortingly whispered to Lee, "Hey, I hear that we are getting two new kunoichi from the village hidden in the mist today. There was a weird freak accident and they are going to become Leaf ninja. I hear they are very beautiful as well. Maybe you'll have better luck with them, okay?"

Lee was about to answer when he saw an amazingly beautiful girl walk up to the spot where Sakura had thrown the daffodil. She whispered to the flower, "Wow, what a beautiful flower! Poor thing, what kind of a person would be so cruel as to throw it here? It's marvelous!" She picked it up and cradled it in her arms as if it were a child.

Lee looked at the girl with utmost curiosity. She was beautiful. Even more than beautiful, she seemed kind. She wore a mist headband around her forehead. Lee stared at her, knowing that she was one of the transfer students. He was very pleased with the idea, and hoped that she would be placed in his squad.

He kept his gaze on her, watching as she went to replant the flower in a small flower patch not to far away. As soon as she finished patting the ground around it, she kindly whispered, "There, all better."

She felt a presence, as though someone was watching her and looked to see a green clad ninja staring back at her. Her emerald eyes could not be taken off of him. He seemed polite and gentle, something that was rare in her village. They just kept this staring trance, until finally Rock Lee replied to Temari, "I guess your right."

As he walked to his squad's meeting place to start his training, he said to himself, "I guess you are." He smiled. "I guess you are."
