"H-Hinata?" Lee said, shocked at the sight he was seeing.
Hinata, hearing Lee's voice, tried to push Naruto away, but couldn't. Only when Naruto got a hold of himself did he parted from Hinata's lips.
"I'm sorry," he whispered to her.
Hinata was frozen, the sensation of his lips on hers made her feel like a sixteen year old girl again. But then when she was able to remembered what happened, she turned to Lee.
"L-Lee, I-I can explain!" she said, stumbling a bit.
Yet for some reason, Lee didn't look sad or angry like she expected. He just gave her a smile.
"Hinata, let's take a walk shall we?" he said, reaching his right hand out for her. Hinata followed. Naruto had his head down.
Sakura, Tenten, and Ino were all glaring at him.
"Na-ru-to," they all said, a dark aura surrounding them. Naruto gulped.
"I know that I have a punishment. Kill me now," he said.
"Inferno no Jutsu Shock!"
"Air no Jutsu Hurricane!"
"Earth Thorns no Jutsu!"
Shikamaru, Sasuke, and Neji watched as their defenseless friend was being pummeled by the girls. After half an hour, it stopped.
"Sakura, Tenten, let's leave," Ino said, standing up. Shikamaru flinched slightly when she gave him a menacing glare. The trio didn't look back.
Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru sighed, "Well that could've gotten worst."

Hinata and Lee were both walking aimlessly around Konoha. She was fidgeting around as Lee stayed silent.
What's going to happen now? Is he silently mad at me? she thought.
Suddenly, Lee stopped moving and turned to her. Hinata looked confused, "Lee-kun?"
"Hinata, you still have feelings for Naruto, don't you?" he ask-stated.
That was where Hinata frozed again. Half of her wanted Naruto, but the other half wanted Lee. The kiss made the first half grow slightly more.
"I don't know," the heiress whispered.
Lee sighed, "You many not think so, but I do... we should break up."
Hinata gasped as tears started to form in her eyes, her heart was starting to slowly break.
"Lee, please don't," she begged, "My heart can't take it anymore pain."
Lee just gave her one long passionate kiss, "I knew all along, Hinata. Your feelings... they weren't compared to how much you love Naruto. Keep the ring, to remind you that i'll always be here for you, ok? As a friend."
Hinata tried to say something, but Lee stopped her.
"You may think you hate Naruto, but you don't. Trust him a bit, introduce him to Merika-chan. Even though we're breaking up, remember this: I'll still love you," he said.
"Please Lee, I don't love him anymore!" she tried to tell him.
"Hinata, for these past ten years, I've been watching you. How you cried for Naruto, how you hardly went out with anyone. I've seen true love happen. I know that you hate him, but inside I keep telling you, you don't. Just introduce him to Merika-chan first, ok? Then start to be friendly to him ok?" Lee said, "Do it for me."
Hinata nodded, "Thank you, Lee."
Lee smiled, "Just promise me that you'll stay youthful, ok?"
Hinata nodded and laughed.

The girls got home as Sakura went to pick up the kids. Ino and Tenten were quietly making an afternoon snack for the kids. It was their way of trying to not remember of what had just happened. As Ino and Tenten cooked, Sakura was just thinking about medical stuff, mostly Yumiko.
Is she going to be alright? I can remember seeing her talk to herself quietly. Calling someone, Kira. Kira, is that her inner self?
What do you think? Of course it is!
Sakura gasped, Inner? Is that you?
Duh? What are you, dumb or something?
You've been gone for almost five years!
I was on vacation, Saki! What do you think!
Shut it, Kurai! So why are you back?
My instincts told me that you needed help.
Help with what?
Love, you idiot! Sasuke! Kiba!
There's nothing wrong with my relationship. I am engaged to Kiba and that's final!
Kurai rolled her eyes, whatever, well you're already at the Academy. See ya!
Sakura looked ahead to see kids coming out of the Academy with their parents. On the sidelines, she saw Merika, Keiji, Kimiko and Makoto in front of a crying Yumiko. Quickly, Sakura's mother instincts made her run faster towards her.
"Yumiko, what's wrong sweetheart?" she asked sweetly.
The younger pinkette sniffled a bit, "T-The other students were making fun of me because they said I had a demon in me. Do I momma? Do I?"
Sakura knew that her daughter was talking about her inner self, "No, sweetheart, that's only your inner self. The other you. That's normal for us, Harunos ok."
"Then why doesn't Kimiko have one?"
"Because she is like your father, who doesn't have one, ok?"
"Where's our mommys, Sakura-oba-chan?" Merika asked.
"They're at home cooking for you guys, come on, let's leave," Sakura said, holding onto Yumiko's right had as her left hand was held by Makoto.
She looked in front of her to see Keiji and Kimiko talking as Merika was looking around.

When Sakura and the kids arrived, Ino and Tenten eached put their child on their lap as they ate Chocolate Chow Mein, Nutella Egg Cream, and Loaded Oatmeal cookies. (They are soooo tasty!)
Once they heard the front door being closed, they knew that Hinata was back. They put their kids down and walked towards the livingroom, to see Hinata crying slightly.
"What happened? Did Lee hurt you?" Tenten asked.
Hinata shook her head, "No, Lee broke up with me."
"What?"
Hinata sniffled, "He knows that I still love Naruto... and he was ok with it."
"So what about Naruto? Do you forgive him?" Sakura asked.
She shook her head a bit, "Not really, but maybe in a year or so. But I think I should at least introduce him to Merika."
"No! They used us remember? Used us!" Ino exclaimed.
"But don't you remember what they said at Ichiraku's? They wanted to spend their last day with the person they cared about," Hinata reminded her.
Ino grumbled and sighed, "Fine, but I'm staying here and watching the children."
"At least have Sai help you out," Sakura said. Ino nodded.
"Merika!" Hinata called out.
Soon, the blonde nine year old appeared in front of her, "Yes mommy?"
"Do you want to meet your otou-san?" Hinata asked hesitantly.
Merika blinked, "Otou-san?" Hinata nodded.
Merika, knowing that this was serious, smiled softly, giving her mother a calm answer, "Only if you want me to, but if you are allowing me the choice then yes, I would like to meet my otou-san."
"O-Okay, go upstairs and change. But remember that this is a secret, you can't tell anyone else, got it?"
The young blonde nodded and went upstairs. She came down wearing a white long-sleeves shirt on top of a pink dress, her hair up in two high pigtails.
"Ready."
Sakura and Tenten accompanied Hinata and Merika as the four walked towards Uchiha Manor.
Another chapter done! So what do you thinks gonna happen now? I hope that this chapter didn't disappoint you with what you thought was going to happen. Your reviews made it hard for me to decide what to do.
