Chapter 8 - Finally

It had been a couple months and Lee and Sakura were closer than ever. Lee practically lived at Sakura's place, most of his clothes were in her closet and his toothbrush and shaving things had found their own place next to her things in the bathroom. He still had his own place, but that was more because he had a lease than because of any time he actually spent there. Sakura hummed happily to herself as she walked to work. By now she'd pretty much given up on getting her memories back without much regret. She and Lee still hadn't done IT, but she was plotting to change that soon, possibly tonight if possible. She heard some kind of comotion up ahead and peered to see what was going on, it looked like a ninja was coming back, but no one was due today, and they wouldn't cause this much commotion anyway. She headed over confused.

A tall, well built young man was slowly making his way through the village, his black eyes making a mockery of all the attention he was getting. Sakura stopped dead in her tracks, gasping. "Sasuke-kun!" she yelled and ran over completely on instinct hugging him, her memories flooding back as though they'd never left. He hugged her back smiling triumphantly. She pulled back, reeling, "I can't believe it," she said stunned, more to herself than to him, though he took it to be all about himself.

"Sakura, I love you, we can be together now," he said pulling her back for a kiss.

Unnoticed by the crowd and Sakura and Sasuke, Lee came upon them just in time to see Sakura throw herself at Sasuke and to hear his declaration. Sakura's lunch dropped to the ground, forgotten, she'd forgotten it and Lee had gone after her. He turned and ran, as fast as he could away, unfortunately completely missing the most important part of the scene.

Everyone else gasped as Sasuke kissed her, and then was even more shocked as Sakura pushed him forcebly away and then slapped him straight across the face, hard enough to leave a red mark on his cheek, he's probably be bruised later. She stepped back, outraged, "How dare you? You don't love me, you don't even know me. You left me and this village and everyone who cared anything about you to pursue your own selfish plans. Well, congradulations, you got what you wanted, you're alone. I don't love you. I'm not that girl anymore. That's not who I am," she said, realizing as she said it that it was true, she'd changed. A suprised smile spread across her face, "Tsunade was right, oh my God, I have to tell Lee," she turned and started running home completely forgetting Sasuke, leaving him stunned in a circle of stunned faces, all he could do was repeat her, "Lee?" he asked, not believing his own ears.

She burst into the apartment, "Lee, Lee-kun, are you here?" she yelled. Hearing noise she headed toward the bedroom. "Lee! I have the most wonderful news!" she exclaimed as she burst into the room only to stop dead. Lee was packing. "Lee... what are you doing?" she asked confused, and completely thrown off her high.

He only shook his head, trying so hard to be strong. "It's okay Sakura, I already know Sasuke's back, I'll get out of your way as fast as I can," he said quietly.

Sakura shook her head, "Lee... I don't understand, where are you going, what does Sasuke have to do with anything?" she asked worried and confused.

"I'll go back to my place, it's okay Sakura, I understand, you don't have to explain," he said barely controlling himself unable to even look at her.

And with that inner Sakura decided it was high time to come out, "Well, I sure as hell don't understand! What did I do? Why are you leaving me? You can't leave me, you promised you'd always be there when I need you, well I need you all the time. I need you to be there for me to laugh with me when I'm happy and cheer me up when I'm sad," she tore the bag he was packing out of his hands and threw it across the room away from the door. "I finally get my memory back, the one thing you wanted and now you don't want me anymore, how the hell does that make sense?" she raged.

"Sakura... I saw you with Sasuke..." he said brokenly.

"Sasuke?" Sakura asked, confused before realizing what must have happened. "Oh Lee, then you left too soon! Did you see me slap him or yell at him?" she asked shaking her head.

"You hit Sasuke?" Lee asked disbelieving his own ears.

She grinned a little, "Well, I guess when my memories came back a little of the old Sakura snuck out, if you don't believe me you can check, he should have a black eye by tomorrow. I probably shouldn't have, but he made me so mad, I just couldn't help myself. Nobody gets to kiss me but my Lee-kun," she stated firmly.

"Sakura-chan, you're memories are truely back and you still care for me? Are you sure?" he had to ask, not quite able to believe.

"Oh Lee-kun, if anyone should be asking if you're sure it should be me. I remember how horrible I was. I don't know how you can still talk to me, much less still love me. I don't deserve you," she said very seriously, "But, I promise from this day on I'll take up your work ethic towards making you happy if you still want to be with me," she said biting her lip, every mean thing was burned into her mind now and she didn't know how he could forgive her, but somehow he did.

"Sakura-chan, you know, I will always love and protect you!" he said giving her his nice-guy pose to prove it true.

Sakura just smiled and launched herself at him kissing him with all she could when a loud knock came from the front door. Sakura pulled back from Lee confused as to who it would be. They went to the door to see an intern there. "Uh... Sakura-sama, Tsunade sent me to see if you were alright, you were supposed to have training with her today at the hospital," the young girl said hesitantly.

Sakura laughed, covering her mouth, "Oh, I forgot. Tell Tsunade I'll be there ASAP," she said and closed the door giving Lee a quick kiss. "I'll be back for dinner. Unpack!" she commanded before running off to work.

Lee just stood there with a dopey grin on his face, it looked like hard work paid off after all. All his dreams were coming true, he gasped, he couldn't believe he'd wasted time, and he dashed out the door to tell his Guy-sensai the wonderful news.

AN: And that's the end, I'm putting a little extra here and this will be why this story is rated M so if you read on, don't say I didn't warn you, because I did.

Epilogue:

Sakura got home from work to find the apartment immaculate. All of Lee's possessions were safely back to where they'd been before and Lee had cooked her a delicious dinner. All through dinner Sakura plotted, there was no sense in letting all her planning go to waste. After dinner Lee offered to do the dishes. "Thank you, everything was wonderful. I'm just going to get changed," Sakura said and went to her bedroom to set her trap. By the time the dishes were done Sakura had managed to light the room with candles, the bed was turned down and Sakura lay in the bed, her hair down and she was wearing nothing but a very brief, light green camisole night gown.

Lee opened the door and stopped dead staring at Sakura, unable to believe his eyes. It looked as though Sakura were... no he had to be wrong he had to be strong for Sakura. His innocent Sakura wouldn't even consider seducing him, his own perverted mind was putting things out of context. "I'll, um, I'll just change in the bathroom," he stuttered through the sentence, unable to take his eyes off of Sakura's delectible frame. He grabbed his pajamas and ran to the bathroom before his problem became apparent. He started to take care of himself in the bathroom when there came a banging on the door and next thing he knew Sakura had opened the door catching him in a most embarrasing position, completely naked and well, you get the picture. "Uh, Sakura-chan... I, er.. that is," he stuttered unable to do anything besides try to hide his raging erection and turn a very bright shade of red.

Sakura realized she was going to have to be even more bold. She'd rather hoped Lee would get the idea and take it from there, she wasn't sure exactly what to do now that she'd caught him doing pretty much what she'd thought. "Lee... I want to take care of you," she said hoping he'd get the message.

"Of course, Sakura-chan, I want to take care of you too, just let me get dressed and..." Lee stopped talking because Sakura's finger had rose to his lips silencing him.

"No Lee," she said stressing his name, hoping he'd get the intimacy implied by the lack of an honorary, "I want to take care of all of you from now on," she said licking her suddenly dry lips. His eyes darted following the motion and Sakura pulled him down kissing him gently.

"Ah, Sakura-chan," Lee said nervously, "I don't think that is a good idea right now," he protested.

"Lee! Really! Come on! Take the lead here, please, I want to take care of you like a woman takes care of her man... and I want you to do the same for me, please!" she asked, getting frustrated.

"Sakura-chan? Really, you want me to..." Lee asked unable to even vocalize his dream. "I'm dreaming," he said dazed.

"Lee, if... if you won't take care of me, I'll do it myself!" she threatened turning to stalk toward the bedroom.

She didn't make it a single step before Lee grabbed hold of her and lifted her bridal-style taking her to their bedroom. "Of course I will always take care of you, Sakura-chan, in any way you like. I would do anything for you," he promised practically running to the bedroom leaving her a little dizzy since he wasn't wearing his weights. Lee was a genius of hard work and his new goal was to learn exactly what pleased Sakura since that was what she'd asked of him, and that it was more than he could have believed possible was just a bonus. He kissed her passionately as they fell on the bed quickly rolling so that he was on top with Sakura underneath him. He gasped as she pulled him closer bringing his erection into burning contact with the thin silk covering her pussy, and she moaned softly.

He cautiously started to pull the tiny nightie off and was rewarded when she rose up lifting her arms for him to pull it over her head leaving her breasts bare to his sight. His mouth went dry as his hand cautiously moved to gently cup her breast, she gave a happy sigh and put her hand over his to urge him on as she laid back down on the bed. She looked up at him smiling slightly as his other hand took a hold of her other breast and she made little contented noises as he massaged them occassionaly pushing herself into his hands if he did something particularly pleasurable. After a moment spent admiring her Lee bent over and began giving her kisses all along her neck, pausing at her pulse when she gasped and sucking lightly, causing her hands to go to the back of his head to urge him to keep going. He obediently obeyed blazing a trail to one of her breasts. He played a littled licking and bitting gently before latching onto the nipple and suckling keeping time with his hand playing with her other breast. Sakura's pants turned into open-mouthed gasps until her body bucked against his for a few moments then went rigid before collapsing beneath him shocked.

He looked down at her proud as she looked up at him stunned. "I didn't know that could happen from that," she said when she could finally speak.

Lee smiled, "Let's see what else we can learn," he suggested, his hand slowly moving down her flat stomach to the place between her thighs that was wettest and hottest.

"Uh, Lee," she exclaimed, one hand going to her mouth as he began to play starting the dance all over again. His finger began a rhytmic motion, slowly moving up and down, gradually getting faster and faster, til he carefully fit one finger inside her and she gasped pushing herself against his hand as sensations she'd never experienced washed through her. "Lee-kun," she gasped pulling him down to kiss him intensely as he slowly inserted another finger inside her slowly stretching her, preparing her for him.

"Sakura, just lay back," he commanded, breaking the kiss and spreading her thighs. She obeyed expecting penetration, when instead his body slid down hers and before she could protest his mouth was where his hand had been, and my god, it felt even better. This felt so good, she was going to die from pleasure, she couldn't take it anymore, and as he sucked on her clitoris she came apart in his arms crying his name. He wrung every last bit from her making it last as long as he could before coming back up beside her grinning like the kid that just ate the whole cake.

She lethargically waved a hand, barely able to do that, "You've killed me," she tried to complain, but she was too tired to really care. "I can't even help you," she said, petulantly, though even that was hard to keep up.

"Don't worry Sakura, you don't have to do anything," he promised finally placing himself between her thighs as she's wanted, now when she had no energy to care. He carefully began pushing inside, she'd lost her cherry years ago through training, but she was still incredibly tight and he was worried about hurting her no matter how wet she was or how good she felt. Somehow, though she didn't know how her energy started to come back even though she'd been sure just seconds before that she was useless until morning. She started to move against him and Lee groaned, burrying his face in her shoulder, "No, Sakura-chan, you must stay still, I don't know how long I can..." he was cut off as Sakura pulled him down kissing him feriously her other hand curling around him to his butt pulling him even deeper as she moved against him. "Sakura-chan, no, I can't," he began thrusting faster and faster and looked down at Sakura in amazement as he could feel her cumming all around him, it was more than he could handle and with a final thrust he came holding her in his arms, his head tucked in the crook of her neck.

He stayed the way for a few minutes until the world settled back around him and he looked at Sakura a little sheepishly. "I am sorry Sakura-chan, I meant to pleasure you much more thoroughly, tomorrow I will..." she shut him up in the most pleasant way possible.

When she finally stopped kissing him she just looked up at him, "Lee, no training promises. That was wonderful, amazing. I love you, but if you think we need to get better, we'll just practice, okay?" she asked.

He smiled down at her and kissed her nose, "Of course, what ever my Cherry Blossom would like," he said, slowly pulling out of her. He wrapped his arm around her and she contentedly took her place snuggling into the crook of his arm, her head resting on his chest. He kissed the top of her head, "I love you my Sakura," he said softly.

"I love you too, Lee," she said sleepily already drifting off to the sound of his heartbeat.

Lee finally drifted off finally realizing, he'd really gotten everything he'd ever wanted.
