"Lee-san..................."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Flashback*
"I have to hug the woman I love!" Naruto thought as he ran to Sakura's house. "Pervert Sensei said I have to as part of my training. It failed last time it won't fail now. Naruto dropped onto Sakura's roof as he transformed. Unfortunately he wasn't the only one there.
"Hello Naruto...I mean Sasuke." Lee-san said as he struggled to get onto the roof. Naruto lended him a hand up.
"Nice night huh?" Naruto asked after Lee was steadied on the roof.
"Yeah, the stars are out and love is in the air!" Lee said, flashing his thousand-watt smile.
"What are you talking about, Fuzzy-eyebrows?" Naruto asked curiously.
"I'm here to make Sakura-chan mine!" Lee replied happily.
"No you're not baka, I am!!" Naruto growled. Lee looked slightly taken aback but merely smiled.
"Why don't we let Sakura-san decide??" Lee said as he hobbled as best he could to the side of the roof.
"No Lee-san I have a better way of getting inside," Naruto said mysteriously as he shoved Lee down an air vent. After crawling a few feet the pair heard music. Two sets of eyes watched their beloved Sakura prepare for her bath. Just as she was getting into the tub Lee finally pulled his attention away to ask a question.
"Why are you here and looking like that?" Rocklee asked burning with curiosity by now.
"I came to.............." Unfortunately Naruto never got to finish his sentence because at that moment he fell from the air vent into Sakura's bathroom. Lee watched the events unfold. He laughed as Sakura made "Sasuke" leave, then he waited until Sakura finished her bath before slowly lowering himself down into the room with his good arm.
"All those 300 push-ups finally paid off." He thought as he approached his pink haired goddess.
*End Flashback---------------swirly movements*
"I don't know how I feel about you........." The words rang clear as day through his mind.
"I have to do something!" He thought as he looked awkwardly at his feet.
Sakura felt terrible. She didn't mean to yell at him, in all truth Lee's kisses felt nice.
"Lee-san, I have an idea," Sakura smiled when she looked at Lee's face. "Why don't you come over for dinner tomorrow night, say eight-o'clock?" She asked.
"Sure, Sakura-san! I'll be there!" Lee replied excitedly. "And this time I'll use the door." Then he stood up to his full height, kissed Sakura on the cheek, and jumped out the bathroom window. It hurt like hell when he landed. "But it's worth it! I have a date with Sakura-chan!!" He thought.
Sakura shook her head. "I bet that hurt," She thought as she saw Lee jump. "What a night?! I wonder what Sasuke was doing in my air vent?" She thought as sleep took her in her nice comfy bed.
*the next morning*
After a quick shower (she undressed and redressed in the shower, just in case) Sakura ran to the training ground. Luckily she was the first one there.
"Oh good, I can stretch." She thought.
Sakura did a few normal warm up stretches then threw her kunai one after the other at the logs. They all landed in a row.
"Yes I'm improving! Yesterday I only got three in a row." Sakura did a happy jump to celebrate. After composing herself, she noticed a glint of something in the sunlight. When she walked over to it, she saw it was flowers.
"Lilacs! My favorite!" she thought. "I wonder who........? Oh look a card."
"Congratulations on improving! Can't wait to see you Sakura-san."
-Lee-
"Awww! He's so sweet" Sakura said aloud.
"Who is?" questioned a voice behind her. Sakura turned to see Sasuke standing behind her. She blushed a deep crimson, remembering the night before.
"N...no one is......I have to retrieve my kunai, excuse me Sasuke-kun." replied Sakura completely embarrassed. She tucked her kunai in her holster and stood up, still holding the flowers.
"Sakura-chan!!" Both Sakura and Sasuke turned to see the yellow haired ninja bounding toward them.
"Naruto!" Sakura yelled back. For once in her life she was glad to see him. Although she knew she'd have to ask Sasuke about the night before. After a few comments and pleasantries from Naruto, Sakura decided now was as good a time as any, so she spoke up.
"Sasuke-kun......What were you doing in my bathroom last night watching me??" Sakura blurted out before she could stop herself. From the look of confusion and disgust on Sasuke's face she knew she had made a mistake. She flushed the color of newly drawn blood. Sakura looked at Sasuke blankly, not knowing what to say. She saw a grin play on his lips, she followed Sasuke's gaze to Naruto who had by this time turned a shade of dark pink. Slowly it dawned on her................
"NARUTO!" she screamed, ready to kill.
"Date bayo, Sakura-chan! I'm sorry!" Naruto said holding his arms up in defense.
Normally Sasuke wouldn't mind if Sakura beat up Naruto because, all in all it provided some good entertainment; but this time Sakura looked aimed to draw an immense amount of blood. So Sasuke took it upon himself to do something about it.
Sakura reached for her kunai and aimed it at Naruto. As she raised her arms, she felt two soft hands grab her own and grip them behind her back.
"Sasuke-kun! What are you doing?!" Sakura cried, struggling to free herself.
"I'm stopping you from killing our teammate," Sasuke whispered in her ear.
"Arigato Sasuke!" Naruto finally piped up.
"Oh I'm not saving you, baka. I'm just letting you get a head start, THEN I'll let Sakura kill you," Sasuke smiled icily.
"B..but I don't understand!" Naruto stuttered nervously. "She's not mad at Lee-san, and he was there too."
Sakura felt Sasuke chuckle behind her.
"You and Fuzzy-eyebrows? I never would've guessed," he said smiling.
That tore it for Sakura. She was going to rip Naruto to pieces!
"Let's do this shit!!" inner Sakura cried, edging her on even more. Naruto saw the want of blood flash in Sakura's eyes and took off running into the forest. Luckily for Sakura, Sasuke was caught off-guard for once. Sakura used all of her strength and flipped Sasuke over her shoulder and onto the ground.
"Sorry, Sasuke-kun," Sakura whispered as she took off after Naruto, kunai in hand. Naruto wasn't hard to track because in his blind panic he'd forgotten to be stealthful. Sakura cornered him in a clearing.
"Now Naruto I'm going to beat you to a bloody pulp!" (bloody pulp's a fun word) Sakura cried as she raised her kunai. Once again she felt strong arms stop hers from performing the action she intended.
"Sasuke-kun! I thought you were on my side!" Sakura complained as she turned to look upon her captor.
"Well I would be if I were Sasuke." answered Kakashi. "It seems you're on somewhat of a war path Sakura. I can't have you killing Naruto everytime he says something stupid." Her teacher offered wisely.
"So I've heard from Sasuke that you have a date with Lee tonight. Is that true?"
"Yes it is. And why do you ask?? Are you three going to be my body guards or follow me around all night?" Sakura asked, knowing full well at least one of them would follow her that night. Just to make sure nothing happened to her. As the trio walked back to the clearing Naruto stuck close to Kakashi just in case Sakura decided to slit his throat. Sasuke looked slightly surprised to see Naruto in one piece.
"You didn't kill him Sakura? And to think I had high hopes for you." Sasuke said grinning. Sakura looked daggers at him and decided to think of what she was going to wear that night for her date.
*later that night at Sakura's house*
Sakura put on her favorite purple and black dress with the silver flowers up the sides, and just let her hair hang free. She liked it shorter in length and showed it off freely. She wasn't sure what to cook so she made Ramen. Sakura knew it was both her and Lee's favorite dish. As she was lighting the candles on her kitchen table, the door bell rang. Sakura opened the door to see a handsomely dressed RockLee holding a single red rose. He was wearing black pants with a dark green dress shirt. Sakura noticed that he was without his crutch.
"Wow, Sakura-san, you look beautiful!" Lee said handing her the rose and stepping inside.
"You look just as handsome Lee-san," Sakura replied, motioning him to the table.
"How'd you know Ramen was my favorite?" Lee asked after they finished their meal.
"Well Lee-san to be totally honest I'm not really sure how to cook anything else other than Ramen and sandwiches." Sakura said looking quite embarrassed. She didn't want anyone else to really know. It was her own personal secret.
Lee couldn't believe it, HIS Sakura couldn't cook!
"oh well I guess that's ok, I can cook for the both of us." he said to a surprised looking Sakura. Sakura smiled and nodded in agreement. She was going to like this relationship. For the rest or the night the two just chatted and watched a movie.
Sakura decided to escort Lee home since he was injured. He could walk on his own for a little while, but had to lean on Sakura for the rest of the walk.
"This is nice." Sakura thought as they walked. She didn't mind having Lee lean on her for support. She could feel his warmth against her as a cool evening breeze blew.
"Damn! he smells so good!" inner-Sakura thought as Sakura inhaled deeply. She blushed a little when Lee looked at her. There was an awkward moment on Lee's door stoop. Neither of the pair was sure what to do. All of a sudden Lee pulled Sakura in for a passionate kiss. Sakura couldn't believe the feeling that shot through her like a bolt of lightning. A tingle went up her spine as Lee's tongue begged entrance into her mouth. Sakura granted the request willingly which deepened the kiss. She could feel Lee's hands run through her hair, his touch felt soft and gentle. Then just as quickly as it had started the kiss ended.
"See you tomorrow my beautiful Sakura-san." Lee whispered in Sakura's ear before going into his house and closing the door.
"Yeah tomorrow............." Sakura said touching her lips still floored from the kiss. Sakura turned, stepping off the stoop and started toward nowhere in particular. She walked until Lee's house was no longer in sight and stopped.
"Alright, you can come out now I know you're there." She spoke to the dark empty street. She saw only Naruto step out from an alley.
"And the rest of you. You're not as stealthy as you think." Sakura spoke to a bush on the side of the street. She watched as Sasuke and Kakashi stepped out from behind it looking quite pleased with themselves.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto complained, "Why did you kiss him, when you could be kissing me?!"
"Naruto!" Sakura yelled as loud as she dared not wanting to wake the whole city.
"I kissed him because I like him! Did that ever occur to you?" Sakura said. "Now why exactly did you follow me you three?"
"Well we had to make sure Fuzzy-eyebrows didn't harm you." Kakashi said.
"Uh." Sasuke offered in agreement. Sakura was sure it was just because they wanted to annoy her to no end, but she didn't speak this. She just simply decided to start her treck home to her nice soft bed. After all it had been a long night. Naruto and the other two companions simply walked with her unspeaking. They left her once she reached her door safely.
Sakura brushed her bright pink locks and fell into bed dreaming sweet dreams of her "Lee-kun." But unknown to her there were a pair of eyes watching her, loving her, and plotting.
