Kyra lay as quietly as ever; her head resting against the soft pillow …her hair fanned out on top. Five days, Lee thought, five days and she still hasn't woken up… His hand held hers gently and he leaned over to brush her hair out of her eyes. Did she move? He shook his head and pulled away; it was just his imagination. He heard the door open behind him and glanced back as Kori slid into the room, a clipboard full of papers in the crook of her arm.

"I have to run some checkups Lee," she said rather apologetically, "I'm not allowed to let you come back in till after I'm done…" He nodded silently turned back towards Kyra. He squeezed her hand gently as he stood up, then let her go and started out to wait in the hall.

"How long will it take?" he asked. She smiled slightly as she started to close the door.

"Only a few minutes," she said before the door clicked shut. He leaned against the wall next to the door to wait quietly, the nurses rushing by to take care of other patients. Everyone who worked in that part of the building knew why he was there, so they simply nodded when they walked past him. Sakura stopped to ask him how he was doing, but she was rushed off to take care of Naruto, who had hurt himself yet again during training. He heard a faint crash, and yelp, as something hit the floor in Kyra's room. He knocked on the door lightly.

"Kori?" he called; no answer. He took the doorknob and opened the door slowly. "What was that-" He stopped short as the door had opened fully. Kori was scrambling about, picking up papers scattered on the floor; her clipboard was laying nearby, cracked in half. He looked up; Kyra was sitting on the side of her bed, her hand on her forehand.

"K-Kyra?" he stuttered. She looked up at him and smiled so sweetly. He stepped around Kori, who was grabbing the last of her papers, and stood in front of Kyra's bed. She placed her hand on his arm and began to stand. He placed his other hand on her arm to help her as she slowly made her legs support her. She almost fell back down, but she leaned against him for support.

Sliding her arms around his neck she stood on her toes to rest her head against his shoulder. He smiled and slid his arms gently around her waist. He faintly heard her breathe as her short hair brushed against his face.

Lee, she practically whispered, "I love you…" It took him a second to realize what she said…and how she said it. She leaned back to look at his surprised face and laughed; actually laughed.

"Kyra…did you…" He asked; she nodded.

"Tsunade saw what was wrong during my surgery," she said. Her voice was a little shaky from disuse, but it had a ringing tone to it; like a chime. He leaned over and rested his forehead against her before pressing his lips against hers. They were so warm and soft to him. All those five days he had wanted so badly to kiss her, and now he could. Kori was forgotten and she slipped outside smiling; unfortunately, Naruto happened to be passing by.

"Sakura!" he called behind him, "Fuzzy Brows is making out with someone!" Kori threw her already broken clipboard at him as another three came sailing at him as well. Lee and Kyra didn't pay any attention as he ran off with stuff flying at him from all of the nurses. Finally they stepped apart, both flushed red. Kyra chuckled and leaned against him as Naruto ran by in the other direction, this time being chased by Sakura. She had a very heavy book in her hands.

"Kyra?" Lee said; she looked up at him, her grayish-green eyes smiling up at him. Her arms wrapped around his back, the warmth seeping through his clothing like it had that day she had looked at his shoulder. That day when he had started to realize how he felt about her. The time she fell into him at the festival.

"Yeah?" She whispered as he placed his hand on the back of her head.

"I love you…"

Tsunade walked down the halls of the hospital, greeted by several patients and nurses alike. Laughter came from Kyra's hospital room as she took the cold doorknob. It swung open easily to show Kyra sitting up against the backboard of the bed, Lee sitting in the chair next to her. They laughed as Lee tried to rub off the words she had written on his face with pen.

Jeez, Tsunade thought, I haven't seen her this giddy since who knows when… She cleared her throat and both of them back towards her, smiles still on their faces. Taking the clipboard from Kori as she left, she looked over the notes scrawled on the paper. She came to stand at the end of Kyra's bed and looked up at the two. Lee had 'youth' written on his forehead in big, blue letters. He tried to rub them off again, but it only smeared. Kyra laughed and took and rag on the table next to her bed and dipped it in her water glass.

"Well," Tsunade started as Kyra began to wipe the ink off of Lee's face, "You may be able to leave soon Kyra." Kyra looked up and smiled. She had been growing tired of staying in that small hospital room for the past three weeks. Lee had come everyday when he could, or when she didn't tell him to go train, but she was a little restless with all the physical therapy.

"Really?" she said; her voice had become a lot stronger now, "I can go home soon? When?!" Tsunade looked back down at her papers.

"Oh," she said, "In another three or four days. You recuperated sooner than we thought you would, especially since your body isn't the very strong normally." Kyra finished wiping the writing off of Lee's forehead and leaned back against the backboard of the bed again. It was true, she had been pushing herself to recuperate as quickly as possible and be back on her feet; she couldn't wait till she was allowed to go places again. Tsunade cleared her throat again.

"Also," She continued, "There's a question about your bodyguard due to your current state." Kyra's face dropped slightly and her and Lee exchanged glances before she continued. "That duty will go to Lee again," she said; Lee cheered and she waited for him to calm down, "And I highly doubt that will change this time, if you two behave."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Kyra said. Tsunade pulled a small parcel out of her pocket and dropped it onto the bed. Kyra untied the twine and opened it slowly, a set of keys falling onto her lap. She picked them up and looked back up at Tsunade questionably.

"Keys to your old house," Tsunade said, "I found all of your parents possessions in one of the store houses and put everything there. It's yours now." Kyra looked down at the keys in her hands and smiled. Apartments where nice, but she had wanted a place of her own. Someplace where she could invite Lee over for dinner instead of him taking her out to eat.

"Everything's ready for you when you get there," Tsunade continued, "New cloths to replace the ones that where destroyed, food including fruits and vegetables, and Sakura even volunteered to make sure it was already clean when you get there." Kyra looked back up from her keys, a question forming in her eyes.

"Did you find pictures of Yasuo with everything else?" Lee stopped cheering; Kyra hadn't said anything about Yasuo for weeks. She had been told a day after she woke up, and though she took the news better than expected, she had still cried into Lee's shoulder after Kori and Tsunade had left. Tsunade nodded solemnly and Kyra turned to stare out the window towards the bright spring sunlight.

"We found some hidden in scrapbooks and behind other photos in picture frames" Tsunade said, "Excuse me…I have to check on some of my other patients…" She looked back as she reached the door; Lee had placed his hand on Kyra's. She continued to stare out the window as the door closed behind her.

"So many years," she whispered, "All that time, my parents kept it hidden from me. Even Yasuo knew and didn't tell me…" She felt her eyes swell and Lee leaned forward, placing his head against hers. She squeezed his hand and he did the same. She let the pain pass as she stared out the window, the harsh sunlight causing her to close her eyes.

"They loved you," Lee said, "They loved you as much as I do…" She nodded slightly and smiled. The noontime sun cast a bright light into the room, the rays warming and comforting her. Lee leaned back and cocked his head to one side. "Feeling better?" he asked. She nodded and he smiled; she always liked it when he smiled at her. He snuggled up next to her, his face rubbing lightly against her neck and his hair tickling her face.

"That tickles!" she exclaimed as his hair brushed by her ear. After sitting back in his chair, he smiled playfully as she rubbed the side of her face. Laughing, he began to tickle her sides, causing her to squeal in surprise.

"Your ticklish!" he said as she tried to brush his hands away, but she was laughing to hard. Sakura stuck her head inside the room to find out why they where making such a racket. She rolled her eyes as she watched them, sliding her head back out and pulling the door closed behind her. Lee eventually stopped, letting her catch her breathe, which she did.

"Hey Lee?" she asked, "When I leave the hospital, will you come over to dinner?" He nodded, causing her to blush a deep red. He chuckled and leaned over towards her, his lips meeting hers affectionately causing her face to grow warm. Lee hand touched the side of her neck, his soft warm hand felt so nice. She leaned towards him, her body next to him, and her hand placed on his shoulder. She closed her eyes and smiled; she had all she would ever want right there.
