Changes

The honeymoon continued for several more weeks, filled with laughter, romance and sweetness. Both Lee and Sakura had discovered once more just how much, and why they loved each other, strengthening their feelings tenfold. But now, it was time to return, especially since – if they waited too long – Sakura would not be able to travel very far anymore. After all, carrying twins simply didn't seem to be very easy. And Sakura simply refused to be carried everywhere by Lee.

And that is how they finally returned. Lee sent their luggage back to Konoha on special delivery. Sakura never found out exactly how, but what did it matter? They had put on comfortable clothing, planning to get back to Konoha as soon as they could manage to. After all, they both kind of did miss their friends. Lee had not wanted to do this at first, but Sakura had put her foot down, threatening she would leave without Lee if she had to. Lee knew he could easily have stopped her, but that would anger his blossom, especially now. She was starting to show mood swings every now and then. Serious ones!

So they went back as the ninja's they were, jumping from branch to branch, tree to tree, back to the fire country. Lee didn't think he'd ever been more alert then at this moment. He noticed every squirrel that passed by, every leaf that fell from the tree, every shadow that seemed to be even a little bit out of order. After all, he needed to make sure his cherry blossom was alright. But nothing really happened, and finally, after what seemed to be forever, they reached the gates of Konoha. Sakura was slightly out of breath, but Lee decided not to make a point of it.

They stepped trough the gates, Lee nodding friendly at the guard on duty, his dog sniffling him a bit, not signing any trouble. The guard greeted him by putting on his hand, smiling at Sakura. She was getting fairly round now. And she seemed to be in very good health too.

Sakura wondered how much had changed while they were gone. After all, you could never be too sure in a ninja village. "Lee, can we go the ramen stand?" she asked. Not only was she hungry, but she also wanted to check on her friends. And knowing Naruto, he had to be there, if he wasn't training. "If that is what you want." Lee agreed with a smile. He stroked her long hair softly and they started to walk to the ramen stand they had grown so familiar with. And when they finally got there, they saw that it was still standing. Not that they had expected otherwise but…you never knew.

They entered the shop, immediately finding Naruto there…but he wasn't alone. Next to him was Hinata and they were holding hands Hinata blushing slightly. As soon as they had entered, Naruto turned around, immediately grinning - not minding the long strands of ramen between his teeth as he did – when he saw Lee and Sakura. "You're back!" he yelled enthusiastically. Sakura smiled. "Yup, hi Naruto." She greeted as if she had still seen him yesterday. "Hello Naruto-kun." Lee said, bowing slightly. Sakura looked at Hinata, who still appeared to be rather shy.

"Say…er… Hinata…" she started slowly, watching how Naruto's hand swayed hers softly. "Are you two a thing now?" Lee smacked his hand in his face almost as if to hide for Sakura's subtle approach. Sakura ignored him, now more focused on the stuttering and blushing Hinata. "W-Well, t-that is, t-that, w-well…" "Yup!" Naruto interrupted her. "We are!" Sakura giggled. It really did seem that opposites attracted. The loud and cheerful Naruto simply had to be destined for the shy and timid Hinata.

"That is wonderful!" Lee exclaimed, clasping his hands together. "I have been waiting for this to happen!" Naruto blinked. "Why?" Lee slightly frowned at him. Hinata had been in love with the boy for ages now, so he wanted her to be with him so she could be happy, but seeing how he wasn't sure that the bashful girl had told the fox herself yet, he thought it was best not to continue his stupid rambling. Sakura took a seat next to Naruto with more then a little bit of difficulty. "You sure are getting heavy, Sakura." Naruto commented idiotically, turning back to his ramen, never having seen the incoming danger.

Sakura let her fist connect to his jaw harshly, his head colliding with the counter, missing his bowl just barely. "Sakura, what was that for?" Naruto yelled, lifting his head again. Lee simply took a seat next to Sakura, wanting to stay out of this. Truth be told, he had nearly punched Naruto himself after insulting his flower, but he thought the boy was punished enough. And after all, he was right. "I can't help it that I get a bit rounder, Naruto!" Sakura nearly screamed. "I am carrying two babies inside of me!" Naruto blushed and turned back to his ramen. Man, she was sensitive today. Nonetheless, he was glad that she had returned.

"A bowl of ramen with many extra eggs, please." Sakura ordered. Lee didn't even blink. That was still eatable, not healthy, but eatable. Sakura had requested the weirdest kinds of food lately. Lee had the hardest trouble of finding whatever Sakura asked for all the time. But being Lee, he had always pushed onwards to find whatever his cherry blossom craved for, never giving up. And so, Sakura was kept satisfied. So a few more eggs was quite acceptable at this point. Naruto and Hinata both decided simply not to ask any questions. Lee ordered himself a plain bowl of ramen.

"Sakura, do you think we could go and see if we can find Gai-sensei after this?" Lee asked. Sakura blinked, swallowing her ramen. "Lee, since when do you think you should ask me permission for something like that?" the hurt in her voice was more then obvious. Did Lee think of her as bossy or something? Lucky for him, Lee was not quite oblivious to Sakura's weird mood swings and overacting senses, knowing exactly what to do. "Sakura, it is simply that I am worried about you, and I do not want you to do anything if you do not feel up to it."

A smile was granted him. Success. "It's fine, Lee. He should be much better by now, don't you think?" Lee nodded excited, he averted his gaze to Naruto. "Is he?" he asked. "better I mean." Naruto seemed to think it over. "I don't know." He said. Hinata sighed. "H-He is b-better Lee, don't worry." She responded. Naruto was completely oblivious to anything happening around him, and Hinata knew this. "Wonderful!" Lee exclaimed happily, digging trough the rest of his ramen. Sakura managed to still finish her own bowl of ramen before Lee though. Lee blinked at this, looking at a rather pleased Sakura. "Do you have enough?" Lee asked carefully.

Sakura smiled. "Yup, I'm ready to go again." She responded. Lee smiled. "good!" he finally finished his own dinner. He paid the check, they bid their farewells to Naruto and Sakura and went on their way again. "…don't care Neji, you have to apologize to Gai-sensei!" a furious voice was suddenly heard. Sakura and Lee looked over to the source of the sound to find Tenten arguing with Neji. "I don't." Neji simply growled. Lee sighed in exasperation. "Come on Neji, you're both way too stubborn!" she continued. Neji turned away from her mockingly, his eye landing on Lee and Sakura. A small smile tugged on his lips.

"Look who have returned Tenten." He said, seeing this as a wonderful decoy. Tenten glanced at Lee and Sakura, knocked Neji on the back of his head, hissing "this isn't over yet" and ran over to Lee and Sakura. Sakura felt like running away for a few seconds, until she saw the bright smile on Tenten. "Lee! Sakura! You've come back!" she screeched. Sakura was surprised as she was pulled in a quick hug, Tenten flinging herself onto Lee afterwards. Well, she seemed happy to see them. "So, how was the honeymoon?" she asked. "You've been gone for so long!" Lee glanced at Sakura and blushed.

"It has been very good Tenten." He answered. "Er… would you mind telling me what you were arguing about with Neji?" Neji, who had joined the group now himself, glared at Lee. There went his decoy. Well, at least the anxious, nervous Neji was gone again. "This jerk dared telling Gai that he had to give up on beating Kakashi, that he'd never win." Tenten roared. Neji rolled his eyes. "Well… only because it's…" "Neji, how dare you!" Lee yelled in shock and horror. "You cannot tell Gai-sensei to give up! He must be so mad at you!" Tenten nodded. "Exactly. Gai doesn't even want to train him anymore." Neji hmphed. "I'm a jounin, he and I are equals. I don't need his training." Tenten put her hands on her hips.

"Neji, you know as well as I do that you still like his training sessions he occasionally gives. He is still slightly more skilled then you are after all." Neji sighed. "Tenten, just let it go." Sakura felt like a fifth wheel. She wasn't part of this team. She wasn't sure what to say because she was sure that she would say something wrong. "Neji, you must apologize." Lee tried again, a bit softer this time. "I think you light have really hurt Gai-sensei by saying that." Neji frowned at Lee's expression. It had simply been a stupid argument.

"Neji, if you don't apologize, I'll break up with you!" Tenten said. Neji opened his mouth to say something but tenten's glare told him she was serious. He sighed heavily and slouched away. "Fine." He growled. "Wait, Neji! Can I come with you?" Lee asked, assuming he'd go to Gai immediately. Neji shrugged. "Whatever." He said. Lee turned to Sakura. "Are you coming?" he asked. Sakura smiled. "I think I will be heading home for now, alright?" she asked. She'd really rather not experience the Lee/Gai-moments right now. "Alright Sakura, should I walk you home first then?" Lee asked. Sakura smiled, shaking her head at his kindness. "I'll be alright Lee." She responded turning around, and starting to walk on.

She didn't have anymore encounters with any familiar faces anymore. She liked the thought of being able to return to the trusted house she and Lee now shared. It held so many good memories too. She turned around a corner, and met a gruesome sight. One so bad, it brought her to her knees. She couldn't stop staring at the sight before her, wanting to think it was all a dream, and nothing more. But it wasn't. The truth was, right there, in front of her, the house that was supposed to be her home right now…laid in heaps, crumbled walls making it seem as if it had fallen down years ago, the windows scattered, the roof gone, the rooms collided. All possessions were gone and destroyed. Perhaps it could've been a storm, a simple storm, and nothing more, if it wasn't for the eerie writing on the last wall still somewhat standing.

I will see you soon, Sakura
