Ok in this chapter the italics aren't just Lee's thoughts anymore, sometimes they are Sakura's. I think it is pretty obvious whose thoughts are whose so I don't feel the need to clarify. If I am wrong please tell me and I will fix it. Also originally I was going to end this story after the date. However I had an idea and now I am thinking of extending it and maybe adding some naruhina. Any feed back? Yes or No?
New Look:
Chapter Three
Lee walked down the street towards Sakura's house deep in thought. I hope she will likes my new look. I always got the feeling she didn't like my old style... lame, ya that's what she called it. Man, was it really THAT bad? I don't think that sales lady needed to burn it... What will Gai think about this!? His thoughts trailed on and before he knew it he was standing in front of her house. He gulped down the frog he hadn't realized was growing in his throat and knocked on the door. Sakura's mom answered the door.
"Hello," she said looking at him with a blank expression.
"Um... uh... is Sakura home?" Lee managed to get out.
"Why yes she is indeed. Are you one of her friends? Please come in and make yourself at home. I will get her." She said with a large smile.
"Thank you," Lee muttered as he stepped inside and took a seat on the couch.
Sakura's mom made her way up the stairs to Sakura's room. She wondered if this was the cute boy Sakura was always talking about.
"Sakuraaaaaa, there's a handsome young man waiting to talk to you downstairs." She yelled while knocking on Sakura's door.
A handsome young man? Sasuke! But he would never come here... Would he? Even if he did, what would he want? He has made it perfectly clear that he will never date me. Damnit why am I thinking this!? I told myself I would start to get over him! Sakura was so confused and frustrated. She managed to make it down the stairs still in thought when she saw a cute yet unfamiliar boy.
"Sakura-san" Lee said with a smile as he saw his angle descend the stairs.
"LEE-san!?" She immediately recognized the voice. Wow! I thought maybe he might cut his hair or something but I never thought he would clean up this nice...
"Um... Sakura-san? Hello?" Lee said trying to get the attention of a very spaced out girl. Is this good or bad? What should I do? "Uh... I was wondering if you would like to go get something to eat or um... something?"
Just then Sakura snapped back into reality. "Are you asking me out?"
"Well... um... ya" Lee stumble over the words.
"Sure," said Sakura sweetly.
Oh well I guess I better start those laps... wait, YES! Lee formed a huge smile. "Really!?"
"Ya... why not?" Sakura said a bit confused. Poor boy, he really is sweet... I shouldn't have been so harsh on him in the beginning.
Lee felt like this was a dream. "Alright! I will pick you up tomorrow at six." He raced out of the house, scared that if he waited she would change her mind.
Lee couldn't sleep that night; he just kept thinking about the next day. Where should I take her? Maybe she will let me hold her hand or give her a hug... a kiss? No, probably not. However, just being able to touch my angel would be more than I could wish for! He imagined her silky porcelain skin lined by soft pink hair and full cherry lips.. Arg! I am never going to get to sleep if I keep thinking like this! Lee rolled over again and tried not to think.
In a house down the street another ninja was having trouble sleeping. To think that dream made such an impact on him. I almost feel guilty... but he is so cute! Who would have thought I would ever find him attractive! I was beginning to open up to him on one level. I had a lot of respect for his power and loyalty. I saw that he was kind of heart and honest. I loved him as a person for that. But there is a difference between the love you feel for a friend and that which you feel for a significant other. Part of that is sexual attraction. No matter how often we girls claim looks have nothing to do with it, that's a lie. Even if it isn't everything, it matters a little. He has to be somewhat cute to have the urge to do more than talk to him. Lee is a little more than just somewhat cute now... if you combine his personality with his outside appearance he could be more attractive then Sasuke... Could be? Damnit Sakura he is. Sasuke doesn't even like you. He is cold and often rude. Lee is loyal and loving. Lee is the type of man that would never leave you. She knew it was true. Maybe she would finally get over Sasuke... maybe Lee could change her heart... maybe he already was.
