A/N: Another piece of sappy-ish crap brought to you by Kamaya-chan. OOC-ness. Crappy-ness. Enjoy if you can ;
-Peace in Memories-
Sakura plopped down on the ground next to her sleeping teammates. Back to visit the Forest of Death. It was a remotely peaceful night, despite all the memories that came back to her the second they walked inside. This was the same clearing where Orochimaru bit Sasuke. Where Naruto had slightly turned into Kyuubi. Where a fight with the otonin took place. Where her hair had been cut by her own kunai. Where... Rock Lee had come to her aid out of the blue.
...! Where did you come from?
I came...
Konoha's 'handsome blue beast' stood before her, back to her.
Because you needed me, and I always will!
Lee picked the squirrel off from his shoulder and patted it away.
Sakura wiped her eyes.
She looked up to the sky and sighed. "I'm so glad he helped me." Naruto snorted and Sasuke remained silent. Sakura looked back at them... to Sasuke. "If it wasn't for him... even before the others came... I might not have been able to protect Sasuke... or even still be alive..."
"I don't know how to thank you. You're a lifesaver!"
Sakura shrugged, staring at the back of her green spandex-clad rescuer.
"I promised when we met..."
"Huh?" She stared.
"... To protect you... Until death do us part!"
His said words came back to her. With his life...
"Sakura..." Sasuke's sleepy voice brought her back to her senses.
"Huh? What is it, Sasuke?" Sakura asked, blushing a little. She liked Sasuke, everyone knew that.
"Go to sleep."
Naruto was now snoring.The moon had moved farther through the sky. Sasuke stared at her. But her thoughts were on something else...
"I'll be fine, Sasuke! I'll just guard, you can go back to sleep."
"Sakura."
"Y-yes?"
"Go to sleep." Glare. Sasuke Uchiha's 'do-it-or-i'll-hurt-you-even-though-you're-my-teammate' glare.
Sakura's eyes widened. "O-okay, Sasuke, I-I'll go to sleep."
He hn'ed and closed his eyes, going back to sleep. Sakura stared at him, then, as she laid down on her back, stared back up at the starry sky. Lee entered her mind as she stared to drift to sleep.
"Hi. My name is Rock Lee. You're Sakura, aren't you?"
Lee came up to Sakura, slight pink on his cheeks. He looked happy...
I wish I hadn't have been so rude that day. But I'll make up for it... tommorrow...
