Aaaw, lookit my reviews. They are few but I like them very much, so I guess that counts as double? "grin" just finding an excuse for myself to write on. Just to share this with you guys, I'm having a lot of trouble writing about a full day! I don't know why but it's so hard for me, so if you have noticed that some days may seem rather incomplete then I'm sorry! Now, my reviewers!!!

Troublesome writer: Haha impressive cliffies. Thanks a lot for this comment, because I love it! Actually you're right! I love your reviews! so that is positive. Well, I didn't want Kakashi to be the one to find her again, and I didn't want her to run into the lake again, you know? It sounded so cheap! Like a copy and paste! Yeah, Lee just had to do that, I found it to be perfect, and I love it myself. I always look on the bright side! Otherwise, I would've given up a long time ago. Nonetheless, thank you

StrawberrySakuraChan: aaw, poor you! I can't blame you now can I? I hope you're feeling better now. Aaaw, couldn't you tell me what you hoped she'd do? Or is it more general, like a yes or no question for you? I know! I don't want him to die either!!!

Darth Cooper: The tensest even? Yeah, I understand that. I was actually mad at myself for stopping there but oh well…

Animelover5.6: Now that you mention it, it is like Romeo and Juliette. Damn! No one likes Lee to die, besides those stupid people who hate SakuraxLee. I mean, how can you hate that pairing? "growls" oh well…

And that was all of them. Again, there were few but they're long and count double. "sheepish grin" right? My internet connection doesn't work right now but who cares, this is only in word, I'll fix it later.

On with it!!!

Are you afraid?

"Lee-kun, don't be foolish" she uttered. She wanted to clench her eyes shut, to block out the view of the one person left she loved, ready to kill himself, but at the same time, she was afraid that when she did, Lee would find the opportunity to knock away her kunai, and then what would she do? "And what about you Sakura-chan?" Lee answered calmly. "Do you not think of yourself as foolish right now?" Sakura sharply brought the kunai closer and Lee did the exact same. "Please stop Lee-kun" Sakura begged. "Only when you stop first Sakura-chan."

Sakura was starting to get a bit angry now. Why was he doing this. She didn't deserve this! All she wanted was to be free, to no longer feel the pain burning in her heart. She gritted her teeth in pain at the mere thought of the note shad had left at home on the floor. It all burned so much. Lee noticed this and put up worried eyes. "Sakura, I know your hurt, please let me assist you in overcoming that pain." Sakura couldn't understand how the normally oblivious boy could be so sharp now. The twinge of guilt she knew she'd have when going to him struck her deeply now.

"I'm not as strong as you are Lee!" she screamed at him. "I want to be like you, but I can't! I'm weak and…" her hands were trembling so much, she feared she would just drop the kunai. Lee noticed this too and seemed to almost wait for the moment. "… And I just don't know what to do anymore, I don't know what to…" And this was the moment. Her kunai slid out of her hands and fell onto the ground, her hands shooting to her face, covering her sadness and catching her tears.

Lee immediately dropped his own kunai and shot upright, gathering the kunoichi tightly into his arms. He wanted to take all her pain and feel it himself, just keeping it away from his cherry blossom. But he couldn't. All he could do was watch his beloved drown in her sorrow, and try to support her to his best abilities. It's not that he didn't know the feeling you have when this happens, it's just that he believed Sakura felt it much worse then he had done back when his parents were murdered. Sakura's bond with her parents had developed more then his ever could have seeing how Sakura had had her parents for more then a mere few years.

"Lee-kun, please…" Sakura sobbed. "Please let me go." Lee only held her tighter. "I will do no such thing. I will protect you, even from yourself." Sakura now clenched Lee's jumpsuit tightly in her hand. She wanted him to go away and not look back. She wanted the boy to find another and forget all about her. But she didn't want him to follow her even into death. How selfish would that make her. "I know it is not much Sakura-chan…" Lee soothed. "But please do remember you have still got me. And you will always have me."

Sakura's sobbing reduced. She knew that. She understood that Lee meant this without having to force himself into the deal. And she was very grateful for it. The love she felt for him had been strong enough to overcome death. She would have committed suicide would Lee not have told her he'd do the same as her. She knew he had meant it. She knew he had been serious. And that made her both happy and sad. Her legs were feeling numb, and even if they weren't, she couldn't get out of the tight, protective embrace, Lee had pulled her in. It almost felt as if he was too scared to let her go.

"Promise me Sakura-chan…" Sakura heard that Lee's voice sounded teary and uncontrolled. "Promise me you will never try this again." He held Sakura even tighter now and Sakura felt how a few tears hit her in her neck. She hadn't broken Lee, had she? Her mind switched suddenly to the boy now holding her so tight. She now only wanted him to stop crying, to stop feeling sad. "I am sorry." Lee sobbed. "You would not have tried this had you felt like I was still there for you." Sakura stiffened in shock. Was that really how the boy felt right now?

"That's not true!" she responded. "If…if it wasn't for you, I would have continued." She stopped crying herself now. "I just didn't want to bother you with this while I knew you had gone trough the same thing and… and you probably would've found me to be weak." Now, Lee pulled back in shock. "You are not weak Sakura-chan!" he told her. "You have endured so much, you have carried so much on your shoulders and all I want is to be as strong as you are." Sakura smiled a bitter smile. "You don't mean that." She whispered. Lee gently lifted her chin to make her look him in the eye. "I do, I really do with all my heart. You are one of the strongest people I know."

He hugged her once more and pulled her to her feet, supporting her as he felt she had overused her legs. Sakura felt the sorrow return to her though. Now that she was standing, where would she walk to? Home? She didn't want to go home. The place was filled with memories she'd rather not recall. And to be honest, she didn't feel like the now empty house was much of a home to her anymore.

"You are coming with me Sakura-chan." Lee stated simply, as if reading her mind. "I will not allow you to be alone now, and if you wish it, you can stay with me permanently." He looked her in the eye. "Do you wish it?" Sakura smiled and hugged Lee to herself. "Yes, I do!" she said loudly. "Lee, thank you so much!"

Lee smiled. "No, thank you for listening to me."

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I'm gonna stop here. I have to go somewhere later on, and I won't be back until after midnight. I did my best to finish it, now I hope I have the time to upload it. If not, sorry!
