I'm pleased with last chapter, so I hope this one will be good too. Also, I seem to be getting a regular amount of 8 reviews per chapter, no matter who reviews. Hahaha, I find it incredibly funny, really But it's a nice amount. Now, to answer you all…

Panther eyes: Too literally? How so? Sakura doesn't love Sasuke you know. Nope, it's Gai-sensei to the rescue! "grin" only he and Lee know the konoha whirlwind.

Lady Quotes: Really? I have been doing this on purpose the entire time! Heh. Good of you to see trough Sasuke. That bastard "growl" though it is my fault he did this… oh well…

The name Akemi is awesome: Nope, not Lee, but Gai-sensei. "grin" yeah, right, that would be stupid. Yup, Sasuke indeed did it, no turning back now.

LeeLover09: Really? Aaaw, thanks Well, I thought I wanted to do something slightly different.

Darth Cooper: Yes, I must do that. Haha, don't you just love it? Sasuke must die? I don't know about that…but he deserves pain.

Animelover5.6: Don't worry, I like hyper people. Yup, Lee will kick some serious ass, and Sasuke's going to be the uke (the receiver)

Sambers: Sorry! Stupid me okay leet. Hahaha, that's Lee's job you know.

Okay, that was all of them. Thanks a bunch!!! I'm happy because the exams are finally over and Christmas is approaching, so on Christmas, I'll write a Christmas chappie! Remind me of that eh?

On with it!!!

Lonely too?

Sakura felt a familiar gush of wind graze her tear stained face, as Sasuke was thrown off of her roughly. Sasuke hit the wall with a loud thud and slid down said wall, his piercing eyes searching for his attacker. "Lee-kun" Sakura uttered. Lee seemed to be fuming, more like nearly exploding. It was indeed a rare sight to see him angry, but Sakura had rarely seen anyone get as furious as he was right now. Sakura didn't know how she should feel right now. Pleased with Lee saving her from Sasuke, or embarrassed for him having found her like this.

Sakura only hoped the mostly oblivious boy realized she didn't have a say in the matter and was forced. "Are you okay Sakura?" Lee asked. Sakura sensed he was doing his best not to sound angry, and he was not succeeding. Though she was pleased to hear the hint of worry in his voice. "Thanks to you" she said, her voice still trembling with tears weighing heavily on her chest. Sasuke got up from his sitting position slowly and Sakura saw how Lee clenched his fists, his nails digging into his own palm, drawing blood.

She dared not tell him not to though, seeing in what state he was in. "What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked reasonably angry, wiping his face with the back of his hand. A growl escaped Lee's throat. "I am here because my blossom needs me" he said trough clenched teeth. "And in addition, I am allowed to be here" Sasuke smirked. "As am I" he said. "I'm sure Sakura enjoyed it" Sakura would have dashed forward and hit him square in the face, had Lee not already done that.

His speed was remarkable, since his feet barely touched the ground. Sasuke was astonished to not be able to see him. And before he realized it, Lee had grabbed him by the collar and made his fist connect with his jawbone, making the boy fly right out of the window. Lee jumped after him and made sure he didn't land safely as he connected his knee right with Sasuke's back, then connecting another movement to his previous and stretching his leg to kick the Uchiha right in the side, causing him to skid about the ground.

He then dashed forward and plunged his elbow into Sasuke's belly. Sasuke crashed hard into the street, rocks flying up, as he went down. "I take it you have a good reason for disturbing the sleep of these good people with your… sparring" sounded an indifferent voice. Lee, stopping with his fist mere inches in front of Sasuke's nose, looked up to reveal the one and only rival of his own sensei. "Kakashi-sensei" he addressed politely. The angriness he held slowly subdued and he looked back at the now cowering Uchiha below him.

Kakashi was clearly still waiting for an explanation, and Lee took in a breath. "He deserved every punch and more" he stated. "I'm sure he did" Kakashi answered friendly. "Do tell me what happened." Lee grabbed Sasuke by the collar and threw him towards Kakashi. "Just make sure he stays away from Sakura from now on" he growled. Kakashi was surprised to say the least. Rock lee was not one to get mad easily, and to have seen him in such a furious state, just blew his mind. He took Sasuke by the wrist and disappeared, ready to talk to the boy now in his care.

Lee simply watched them leave, and then quickly jumped right back into Sakura's residence. She was not to be found in her room though. "Sakura-chan?" Lee asked rather unsure. He hoped he hadn't scared Sakura with his outburst, but he hadn't been able to control his anger. He opened the one door in her room and went down the stairs he had found. Sounds were now reaching his ears. Sobbing and something more subtle, he couldn't quite make out. The sounds were coming from behind another door and he politely knocked.

"Sakura-chan? May I come in, please?" He heard a sound that sounded more like a yes then a no and decided to wager it was yes. He twisted the knob and found Sakura, brushing her teeth, tears falling down her face. She spat out the foamy substance and rinsed her mouth with water. "Are you okay Sakura-chan?" Lee asked softly, his hand stroking her hair. She flung her arms around Lee's neck and started sobbing into his shirt. "I couldn't even stop him" she sobbed. "He wouldn't leave me alone." Lee wrapped his arms around the sobbing girl and kissed her on the forehead.

"Thank you" he heard escape her lips. "No need in thanking me Sakura-chan" Lee said soothing. "I will always be here for you, to save you from danger" Sakura half sobbed, half giggled at that. "Thank you Lee" Lee sighed and lifted the girl up, bridal style. It ripped his heart apart to see his cherry blossom cry. He placed a kiss on her lips and started carrying her up the stairs again, wanting her to get some sleep. Sakura was pleased with the taste of the kiss now. It was sweet instead of bitter and felt right instead of wrong.

"What happened to Sasuke?" asked Sakura, still a bit scared. "Kakashi-sensei has taken him with him" Lee explained. "He's gone now." Sakura smiled and snuggled up in Lee's arms, until he let her down gently on the bed, then going to the window, ready to jump out again. "Wait!" Sakura yelled desperately. "I would really like it…if you stayed here with me tonight" Lee blinked. "Why would you want that Sakura-chan?" He was glad the darkness hid his blush.

"I'm lonely, Lee-kun" she said sadly. "And I love you, I want you here with me" Lee turned around and kneeled in front of Sakura's bed, stroking her hair out of her face. "you are lonely?" he asked soothingly. "Then, I will stay" And at this he placed himself onto the hardwood floor. "What are you doing?" asked Sakura, stifling a giggle. "Going to sleep" answered Lee, not understanding what was so funny.

Sakura took his hand and gently pulled him up into her bed. "You're sleeping with me" she said calmly. "I-I really do not think this is proper for a man to do Sakura-chan" Lee tried to protest. "It is if the woman wants the man to" Sakura answered slyly, and successfully pulled him in. Lee gave up and placed himself into the preheated bed. Sakura placed herself quickly into his arms, smiling happily. Lee once again wrapped his arms around his own kunoichi, enjoying the bliss he felt himself in.

And this is how they fell asleep, snuggled up into each others warmth, enjoying each others company and wanting to stay like this forever.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

The next morning, they woke up rather early. Sakura had been the first on to awaken and since she really had to utilise the toilet, she left the safe warmth that were Lee's arms. Lee simply groaned and turned his head a little, his hair falling into his face. Sakura brushed it away and took a few seconds to gaze at him. He really was adorable while sleeping. Seeing as her reason for getting up was becoming more urgent, she quickly, but quietly rushed down the stairs.

When she was gone, Lee opened his eyes and grinned slyly. He had felt Sakura brush away his hair and gaze at him lovingly. This is how he knew she surely loved him. He had not wanted to interrupt the blissful feeling he had gotten from her eyes on his 'sleeping' form and had thus refused to open his own. But now he stretched with a loud yawn and got out of the bed that had been clearly warmer then Sakura's room. It was winter after all. The light coming from the outside lit up Sakura's room, giving Lee the ability to look around.

It was truly a cosy room he had found himself in. Although there wasn't much furniture, the room was messy and lived in. Lee laughed at how sloppy his cherry blossom truly was. He sighed. Oh, how he loved her. Her name alone she had found beautiful, fitting, yet frightening at the same time. Cherry blossoms were much cherished in his country. For one, they were beautiful, just like his own cherry blossom, and second of all, they had a dramatically short lifespan of mere days. Lee quickly shook this thought away seeing how strong his flower was in mind. He was sure that if someone would treat the cherry blossoms with much love and care, they would live on for many years. He smiled at himself for being so lucky.

"Haruno Sakura, I love you" Lee subconsciously said out loud. "Love you too Lee-kun" answered a voice. Lee turned around to look at the doorframe Sakura was leaning up against. "Oh, Sakura-chan" Sakura giggled and walked into her room, towards Lee. She gave him a playful kiss on the lips. "How about we go and grab something to eat?" she asked her beloved. Lee nodded, willing to go anywhere as long as Sakura was with him.

Obviously, they soon found themselves at the Ichiraku ramen stand. They took their seat and were quickly served with the ramen they had come to love. "Fuzzy brows, Sakura-chan!" they heard a familiar voice shout. Sakura turned around to greet the blond until she saw who his was with. She felt Lee tense, and held his hand.

"Sasuke!"
