My Sakura Flower
This is my first Naruto fanfiction, the show has only just come about in my country on TV. This one's about Sakura and Rock Lee. As everybody knows Rock Lee has the most massive love for Sakura but she doesn't barely notice. This takes place after the 2 year and a half gap in the series, Sasuke of course no longer in the village. Valentine's Day is coming up, can Rock Lee finally get Sakura's attention... even love?
"Wew... It's great to get back!" Rock Lee sighed happily to himself and his team mates.
"Yea, that mission was hard." Ten Ten replied.
"Hmmm..." Neji also replied, not feeling talkative.
They had just come back from their first B class mission, had been a tough one. They had to rescue a scroll from enemy forces, it had been heavily guarded and almost had them a few times.
"Well... I'm off now." Rock Lee announced.
"Huh? We've only just made it back to the village. Shouldn't we all go to our homes to rest a little?" Ten Ten answered to Rock Lee's statement. "I know we won't have a mission in a good while because of this one being a big first mission but I really think you should rest. You won't be able to train well if you don't relax yourself."
"Don't worry, I won't be out to long. I'll go back to my flat directly after I'm done."
"What exactly will you be doin...?"
"I'm sorry to interrupt but I'm leaving now for my house. See you in class tomorrow." Neji interrupted and started to walk off in a different direction.
"Ok... See you tomorrow." Ten Ten replied and waved good bye. "So... What are you going to be doing? It's getting late." She added as she turned to face Lee.
"Why do you need to know?"
"Oh come on... We're team mates, you should tell."
"Well... I just wanted to go see someone first. I won't be able to sleep until I've seen...HER. I must know that she's doing Ok." Lee replied with dreamy eyes and a delighted sigh of the thought.
"Her?" Ten Ten questioned and looked at Lee, the moment she saw the familiar love face she got who he was talking about, Sakura. "Ohhhh... I don't understand why you like her so much. She's nothing special Lee..."
"Ten Ten! Don't say that!" Lee said with shock at her attitude. "I know she hasn't really been at her nicest but she's changed since Sasuke has left the village. Her attitude is far from what it was like when we first met, we're getting on and whatever."
"I don't think she feels the same way Lee... She just keeps on and on about Sasuke. Well I guess not anymore ever since he left but you know what I mean."
"Look Ten Ten, I can't change the way I feel. Yes, I wish she would feel the same way and she might someday but she will always be special to me. I will never find anyone more better for me."
"Awww... Lee. You can't chase after her all your life."
"Whatever... I'm just glad to be back. Besides, Valentine's Day is next week. I've got to decide what to do for it, but as for now, good bye. I got to go find my Sakura flower." With that Lee walked away from Ten Ten and gave her a little wave, all she could do was stare in amazement as he walked away.
"Man, Lee must like her, never seen him this serious in his life." Ten Ten muttered to herself as she watched him walk off, couldn't tell whether this was going to end up in another 'no' and Sakura being cold to him again.
"Sakura!" Lee called when he saw the flash of bright pink hair underneath a street light.
"Huh? Oh... Hi Lee." Sakura looked around to see Lee rushing towards her. "I thought you were on a serious mission."
"I was. Just got back about a hour ago."
"Then, shouldn't you be going to get some rest?"
"I will be. I just wanted to find you and see how you are. I couldn't go and rest without seeing the Sakura flower."
Sakura replied with a little bit of rolling eyes and blushing. She'd never met a person that was so attached and interested in her.
"Well... I'm glad your alright. I heard it was a dangerous mission, B rank wasn't it?"
"It sure was but I'd gladly do it all again if it was for you."
Sakura blushed at the comment, she knew her word was law with Lee so she had to watch out what she said. "Well good... Glad you did well on your first B rank mission. I think you'd better go get some rest, I don't you to suffer any on my account."
"Ok... But at least let me walk the little distance with you to your home. I want to make sure my Sakura flower gets home safe."
Sakura blushed and nodded at Lee, started to walk ahead of him. Rock Lee gave out a massive smile of happiness, almost ready skip. She was being nice to him and never really used to be, giving Lee some hope that she was coming around finally after all the years...
