K.L.K- Yo! (shivers) I was in the shower, and I practically yelled "OH DAMN IT I FORGOT TO WRITE THE NEW CHAPPIE!"...I'm lucky my mom was in the basement...anywho, it's November Twenty-third! WHOOTness!

TITLE: what happened?

PAIRING: unknown

RATING: T

SUMMARY: what if Sakura- Haruno Sakura- had a past with Uchiha Itachi? this is the story, and what it brought on.

AUTHOURESS'S NOTE: No, Airpeeps, I'm not THAT evil... nearly, but not enough. anywho, I'm glad all those of you who read this fic are so generous in reviews... and that you liked this spur-of-the-moment fanfic. here's the fourteenth chapter, enjoy!

Disclamier: I don't own Naruto.

FOURTEENTH CHAPTER: Lee's Injuries, and Ino?

Sakura was glad the partial-transformation only took half-a second to dissapate, because she respected the green-spandexed boy, for his strength dispite his... disabilities. of course she remembered that, it was important, and pretty obvious to her Medic's eyes.

she stood shakily before she gained her bearings, and then looked at him, and it had that poor squirrel that had gotten a Paperbomb slapped on it's furred back by the Sound Team, and it was happy, healthy, and it seemed to favour the Mini-Gai boy over sitting unprotected on the ground.

Lee flashed her his Teeh-pinging smile.

she slapped her hand to her forehead. "Lee, I have it..." she grabbed the hand of Dosu and Flipped him clear to the opther side of the rather large clearing, with a crashing sound when he hit a tree. "under control!"

he frowned. "nonsense, Sakura-san! You're all beaten up and you look like a mess! sorry," he offered a quick apology. "but I'd better take these down, to fulfil my vow to protect you!"

"I don't NEED protection!" she protested. "what you need is to find your Teammates, I have a bad feeling that something wil happen to you if you stay here." his eyes shifted to her, shocked. "...Kunoichi's intuition?" she offered half-uncertainly, but he took it. still, he refused to go.

Pretty soon Zaku's soundwaves were making his ears bleed and his Inner ear was wacked up, meaning he couldn't balance properly, or even think.

Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji were hiding in the bushes, with wide eyes. they had gotten there when Lee was fighting, so the Haruno Onna's secret was safe. after Sasuke woke up, he broke Dosu's arms, but she had ordered him to stand down, and the wierd part was that he listened after she had slapped him. never throught him to be submissive, eh?

after the Sound nin scidaddled after the rest of Gai's squad arrived, they came in, and Ino looked at Sakura, and swallowed a lump in her throat. the pink-haired girl was so Kawaii, it outshined the mysterious facade of the Uchiha's.

she walked up to her. "would you want some help with your hair?" she asked.

the girl smiled a bit at her. "sure. it's to troublesome to pay for a haircut anyway, that's why it was so long before."

Ino recalled it had been long earlier. pretty soon she had the girl's hair all fixed, and it looked cute on her. as soon as she was able to turn, she screamed inwardly. 'CUTE?!?!?!?!'

K.L.K- haha. couldn't resist. if anyone's ahgainst what I wrote, I don't give a shit, and sorry to be brash.

Sakura- ... -.- You're ALWAYS Brash.

K.L.K- (smiles) I know!

Ino- PLEASE REVIEW!!!
