The prince and the princess

Beauty in a peasant

Lee was happy that day. Wide awake and ready to go. He leapt out of his bed. Groomed up and talked to lady Tenten and sir Neji. Then went down to find his father king Gai.

Gai was sitting in the main hall table. He sighed. But his gaze adverted up and saw Lee. With his smiling face. "Oh... how are you son?" "Good." said Lee, walking over.

"But you seem to not feel the same. Something on your mind?" he asked. Gai sighed again. "Yes. But you do not worry." Lee shrugged. "I'm off father. To the garden."

Gai nodded. "Oh wait. Have you decided to recieve it has a gift?"

Lee nodded, as a yes. Gai smiled. Then Lee left.

Lee walked outside and smelled the flowers. No smell. They were dieing.

Lee shrugged and frowned. He kept walking around. Nothing to really do on these types of days. No orders to fullfil. Just nothing to do.

He was looking beyond himself. At his back. for no reason really. But right when he turned back around he ran right into someone! Knockling heads in quick speed, not even seeing it coming.

The two fell to the ground and grunted in pain. Lee held on to his back in pain. Feeling it rush through his body. His vision was fizzy. Blurry. he couldn't tell who was in front of him. When he heard a soft voice speaking. "Are you alright sir?"

Lee shook his head and his vision went back to normal. But no one was there. He titled his head in confusion. "Alright!" he called out.

No reply.

He sighed and got up. Brushing the dirt off his clothes and straightening them.

He walked around a bit some more until he noticed a flower on the ground, pilled right off its stem. He closed his eyes. "someone was here." it was torn off, he could tell.

"Alright. Who is here?!" he called out.

No reply.

"Today has been quiet." he muttered and walked around a bit. He jumped when he noticed someone bright running through the bushes. "Hey!" he called out and chased the flash of color. He stopped when it finally stopped.

It was a young girl. around eighteen. you know, around the age of him. She turned around and gasped at the sight of lee.

Lee gasped and smiled. Flower pink hair, calm face ful of fright. Even more beautiful than the flowers in the garden.

Lee blushed. "Hello." he said. The girl jumped and backed away. (The girl was Sakura. But of course he didn't know who that was.)

Sakura backed away. Even in fright and distress she was a beautiful as someone could be. Even beyond!

"I'm not going to hurt you. Whats your name my dear angel." spoke Lee. Sakura raised a eyebrow and backed a bit more. Lee gulped. He just called her a angel outloud to her!

"I'm so... NO! don't run!" He siad. But Sakura took off running, scared that the prince was talking to her. Lee ran after her, until finally she stopped.

"Now my beautiful angel. Tell me your name." was the very first thing he said. He was eager to know it. Sakura turned her head. "Nevermind about it."

Lee smiled and blush even deeper. Her voice was as radient as a flower...a real angel. He opened his mouth to speek, but she suddenly she started to sing. She was singing a song that most peasents sang. About hope and love, life at its fullest and wishfulness.

Lee knew this song very well. Called the fair of a flower.

Sakura set there and sung. Trying to drain out the noise of everything around her. It defently drained out Lee. He wanted to stay and hear.

Sakura suddenly came to a stop and took off running back into the castle. By time Lee noticed, it was too late.

"Darnet..." he muttered and headed back. He walked inside,everyone could tell he was sad or something close to it. Tenten soon was the one to speak up.

"Prince Lee. Are you alright?" Lee looked up at Tenten and shook his head. "Sadly, I am not lady Tenten."

"Why is that?" asked Tenten.

Lee sighed. He really didn't want to be talking to anyone right now about the most beautiful girl he knew run away like that.

"Lady Tenten. If I could just be alone. I would be happy. Maybe later."

Tenten raised a eyebrow in surprise. Lee always had something to say and loved to talk. But as her duty to obey him and him as the prince, she let him be.

-------------------------------------------

All night Lee wrote about the beautiful girl he saw in the- well, HIS garden now. He wrote it in poetry. something he did often, but a secret hobbie.

He knew it was wrong to keep his special ability and hobbie a secret. But he just did. nothing else he lied about. He sang the song the fair of a flower, and wrote a poem with that title.

But what he wondered...was why he was love with someone he just saw...one day in a garden. not even knowing who she was...
