Okay, so I'm not lazy! I'm going to write the scene where Sakura comes in to help Akane. I did a retake and I was like, "no, this is important!" So let's show the first signs of Youthful Love! XD LOL okay, I'm done… on with the story…and for those who don't understand the Japanese phrases, just ask and I'll tell because I'm lazy like that.
Gaara: You're always lazy
YNB: go away TT
Lee: yes, leave Baiken-chan alone
Gaara: oh you're such a kiss-up
Lee: go away
Gaara: why is every one telling me to go away?
YNB: look, I love you and all, but stop being mean
Lee: I agree… now on with the story!
YNB: that's my line
Lee: gomen…
Gaara: a kiss-up, I'm telling you!
XOXOXOXO (Normal POV from now on…I'll try to resist)
About five minuets later, Lee raced in with a pink haired girl about Akane's age who was wearing a red dress with black spandex underneath.
"Here she is, Akane-san!" Lee smiled at the raven haired girl, "This is Sakura-san. Sakura-san, this is Akane-san!"
Akane smiled at Sakura, "Nice to meet you Sakura-san."
"Nice to meet you as well, Akane-san…Lee-san says you need help finding the restroom?" Sakura asked.
Akane blushed, "Hai…"
"This way please." Sakura smiled and held the door open.
Akane sat up and put her legs on the side of the bed. Akane noticed that she wore a hospital gown and was bare foot. Akane blushed again, "Um, perhaps if I could change afterwards?"
Sakura smiled, "Of course." Lee blushed and looked away.
Akane nodded and stood on her feet. Akane smiled as she took a step, but that smile faded as soon as Akane started to fall.
Akane waited for impact, but it never came. Lee had caught her the moment her body fell limp from lack of muscle movement. (A/N: It's happened to me before, but I fell because I was anemic… it was not fun…)
Akane looked up at her savior, "A-Arigato, Lee-san…"
Lee smiled, "Are you okay?"
Sakura looked concerned, "Looks like you're body is still physically weak from your injuries. You had a lot of broken bones and deep wounds. It's a miracle that you're alive and able to even stand. Let's get you to the restroom okay? Lee-san, can you carry her? I'll take care of the rest until we get there."
Lee looked at Akane, "I hope you do not mind being carried Akane-san."
Akane blushed, "Only if need be…"
Lee picked Akane up, bridal style and looked at Sakura, "Lead the way, Sakura-san."
Sakura nodded, "Hai."
XOXOXOXOXOXOX
Sakura carried Akane out of the restroom on her back. Lee looked away from the window and smiled, "Are you feeling better Akane-san?"
Akane blushed, "Hai, arigato…"
Sakura carried Akane back to the hospital room with Lee in tow. Sakura set Akane down back on the bed.
Akane looked at the floor, "Can I try walking again?"
Sakura smiled, "Sure… Lee can you go on the other side? We'll be right here in case you fall again."
Akane smiled at Sakura, "Arigato…demo… I won't fall."
Sakura and Lee watched a bit surprised as Akane struggled to keep her balance. Five minutes into getting blood flowing properly through out her body, Akane was walking normally.
Akane smiled, "It feels good to be standing."
"I'm sure it does… you have been out for a week."
Akane looked towards the door at the foreign voice of a woman.
"Tsunade-sama…" Sakura smiled and bowed lightly.
Lee saluted Tsunade, "Konichiwa Hokage-sama!"
Tsunade nodded at the both of them and turned her attention to Akane, "Hello Sano Akane… I heard about the attack on your clan… I'm sorry that I could not send reinforcements… you see, we are short of ninja these days. Ever since the Third Hokage passed away, Konoha has suffered the loss of many great ninja. I'm relieved to see that one of the Sano clan has survived. However, your injuries were bad that you might have to start at square one of your training skills. And I suggest very light training…"
Tsunade was interrupted by a loud, shrill and angry, "WHAAAAT?!?!?!?" Akane yelled, "Start at square one!?!? I mean no disrespect Tsunade-sama, but you must be lying!! There's no WAY that I have to start at square one! I've worked through blood, sweat and tears to get were I was before that TEME took not just my family, but now the ONLY THING THAT I CAN DO!?!? THAT'S NOT FAIR! ALL I LIVE FOR IS TO FIGHT AND PROTECT THE ONES I LOVE, AND I COULDN'T EVEN DO THAT! HOW CAN YOU TELL ME TO JUST START OVER!?!?"
Tsunade, Sakura, and Lee watched as Akane dropped to the floor in tears, "How can you just tell me to start all over as if nothing happened? As if I don't remember it feels like it happened yesterday?"
Tsunade sighed, "I'm sorry Akane-chan…demo…all I can tell you now is to start training. It's not like I'm telling you to stop being a ninja."
Akane looked up at Tsunade, "But… I worked so hard…"
Tsunade sighed again with a sympathetic smile, "Lee should know how that feels… which gives me an idea. Akane, since you are a martial artists of the Sano clan, I'm going to put you on Gai's team. I'm sure that you gain your strength quickly. What do you say?"
Akane looked up at Lee, 'What does Lee-san have to do with my taijutsu?'
Lee smiled, "That would be great! Please consider joining me and my sensei, Akane-san! It will be very fun!"
Akane smiled, "I guess…it won't be so bad… arigato Hokage-sama…I'm sorry for yelling at you…"
Tsunade smiled, "Its okay…I'm sure you have been through a lot. Come to my office tomorrow at noon. I'll have a place for you to stay."
Akane didn't have the chance to thank the Godaime as she walked out of the room. Akane was left speechless.
Sakura was about to leave when Lee caught her attention, "Ah, Sakura-san…would you like to go eat out tomorrow?"
Sakura smiled apologetically at Lee, "Gomen Lee-san, I have training tomorrow plus I'm going to start my first day as assistant nurse here in the hospital. Maybe some other time..." Sakura walked out of the room, following Tsunade.
Lee looked very down hearted, "Of course…even if she did have the time, she'd never go out with me…" Lee whispered to himself. (A/N: AWW!!!! Poor Lee-kun!)
Akane had heard Lee and felt sad for the boy, "Um…Lee-san?"
"Hai?"
"Sakura-san forgot to get me clothes…"
Lee blushed five different shades of red as he rushed to the hospital closet and pulled out the same clothes Akane was wearing the night Lee found her, "Here…Sakura-san patched up the holes and tears so it's as good as new. I'll be right outside if you need anything."
Akane nodded and whispered a shy "arigato" as Lee walked out and closed the door behind them.
Akane quickly changed into her clothes and soon knocked on the door, "Lee-san?"
"I'm here…" Akane heard Lee's voice through the door.
Akane smiled as she opened the door, "Thank you for waiting…may I meet your team mates and sensei?"
Lee gave a toothy smile, "Of course! Right this way! They are probably at the training grounds."
Akane looked at Lee, "Lee-san… I know that the Hokage put me in your team, but why? What does your team have to do with taijutsu?"
Akane blushed as Lee gave her a toothy smirk that seemed to sparkle as he gave her thumbs up, "Everything…"
