Promise

"I told you that I would protect you Sakura-san. Even if I had to die..."

Lee stood in front Sakura, who was bleeding from an arm wound. A ninja threw a kunai at Lee and it hit him near the others that resided in his chest.

"Ugh...!" He fell to his knees but got up again, trembling.

"I won't fail. I have to protect you. I made a promise!"

"Lee... Lee stop it!" Sakura was crying.

Another kunai hit him.

"Stop, please!

He threw one last kunai at the opponent, who fell, but now before throwing his own kunai that pierced trough his skin. Lee fell backwards into her arms. She let a tear fell on his face.

"Don't die Lee..."

He smiled.

"It's okay... I know I'll be fine... there's an angel looking over me... that's you Sakura..."

She kissed him in the lips.

"I'm sorry... Lee..."
