Springtime: Lee to Sakura
--

She will always be the lovely blossom that eclipsed the springtime of his youth-even if her love has always bloomed for someone else.

"The Lotus of Konoha blooms twice."

Once for love, once for life; coincidentally, to him they are equal.

This is the reason he will protect even this love, which is unrequited, with his life. Without her there would be no spring, nor summer, nor winter, nor fall.

He knows flowers are fragile and cherry blossoms are most beautiful as they are falling. But he is content to preserve this one blooming flower as she waits for spring.

Author's note: "Cherry blossoms are most beautiful as they are falling," it's not an exact quote, I think, but it was borrowed from Samurai X: Reflections. A line said by Kaoru. Also, just to point out the quote "The Lotus of Konoha blooms twice," was said by Lee and Gai. Reviews are, of course, welcome and cherished.
