Chapter 2

Voices Carry

Okay, Chapter two is here. And i am dedicating this one to EnduranceInTribulation, for all the good praise and complements said writer has given me! This is a Rock Lee POV, Song called Voices Carry by The Click Five, my cousin has a thing for them, dunno why. But it was on her iPod! Enjoy!

Discalimer: I dont own Naruto or any songs i have used, to my sadness.


Is it really too late to change. Is it really hopeless for Sakura and me to continue? Should I try again, and only expect more sorrow? Or should I give up and look for happiness else where?

………

In the dark I like to read her mind

But I'm frightened of the things I might find

Oh there must be something she's thinking of to tear away

When I tell her that I'm falling in love

Why does she say?

When I first laid eyes on the fair girl, I thought I had died and an angel had come to retrieve me. I thought that a goddess had descended from the heavens and was benevolently gracing me with her presence, only inches away from where I stood. And the whisper of her name left me breathless. Sakura…

I had fallen in love with that beautiful flower, mere minutes after she had caught my eye. I needed that angel by my side…forever.

So I made my move. I declared my undying love and swore to protect her eternally. Letting my sparkling youth try to persuade her.

…But I guess I wasn't worthy of such a heavenly being.

She had said no.

What could I do to prove to my lovely goddess that I loved her?

Hush hush, keep it down now

Voices carry

Hush hush, keep it down now

Voices carry, oh oh

My chance came in the Forest of Death. From within the trees I had seen my angel, her two team mates unconscious and surrounded by three enemy sound ninja, about to attack.

I had no second thoughts. I rushed to protect my flower.

I would not let anyone hurt her, ever. And I told her that I would always be there for her when she was in a pinch.

I saw a glisten for light in her jade eyes, and I knew that she knew that I was always there for her.

But, alas, her heart was still stolen by the Uchiha, Sasuke.

I try so hard not to get upset

Because I know all the trouble I'll get

Oh she tells me tears are something to hide

And something to fear

And I try so hard to keep it inside

So no one can hear

The preliminaries went by slower for me than they probably did for anyone else. Sasuke's match was over fast and the two more before that. And Sakura's match came faster than I had hoped. And it was so hard to watch her fight and get hurt. I had vowed to hate anyone who tried to harm my precious angel, but I could never really hat anybody. So I cheered her on like my youth depended on it, because I knew the strength my Sakura possessed was great, and she was youthful. I was sure her youth would lead to her victory. Although Sakura ended up in a draw, I could tell that she had fought her hardest, that she had done the best she could, and I told her so.

Seeing her face light up like that made my heart sing.

But I could tell what she felt was still meager friendship, when I sought after so much more.

Hush hush, keep it down now

Voices carry

Hush hush, keep it down now

Voices carry

Hush hush, keep it down now

Voices carry, oh oh

Oh

When my match finally came, it was against a devilish boy named Gaara of The Sand. This shinobi had made me more than just a touch nervous. I still had faith in my own special abilities, though. And I cannot believe I had to take the match so far as to rely on my Sixth Inner Gate, and I was confident in my success then.

But I had heard her divine voice call my name; it had never sounded more beautiful when she uttered it. She shouted that she had self-assurance in me. That she was positive I would make it out a winner.

My wonderful flower confidence in me…

But why did I have the feeling it was all just empty words?

Why did I have a clawing feeling in my gut that that flower in my room was from you, but it was sympathy, not the affection I yearned for?

She wants me

But only part of the time

She wants me

If she can keep me in line

Two years later, after Sasuke's departure, my team and I were sent to you for assistance. I was seeing my comrade Tenten at that time, but when I heard I would be seeing you again…

I was taken aback. I could not believe that after all this time; I would be face to face with my flower. My goddess. My angel, one again.

But she looked at me strangely. I saw and odd flicker in her eye every time I faced her. Had I changed so much? I didn't think so, besides the fact I might have been a bit muscular than before.

Maybe she no longer felt friendship towards me.

Maybe I was better off with Tenten.

Keep it down now, voices carry

Hush hush, keep it down now

Voices carry

Whoa-oa-oa

She said shut up

She said shut up

Oh why can't you just keep it down?

Voices carry

Hush hush, she might overhear

Hush hush, voices carry

Hush hush, keep it down now

Voices carry

Hush hush, keep it down now…

But I still love my dazzling angel, my divine goddess, my delicate flower, I could use all the synonyms in the whole world, and it would still mean the same thing. I tried so hard to keep it inside me all this time, but I can no longer keep it hidden away…

I cannot change the fact that I am still in love with Sakura Haruno. I cannot change the fact that her heart is still occupied by someone else. And I cannot change the fact that I still might not be exactly what she wants.

But I will try.

I want to experience the rush of her love.

Her love for me.

I will try again.
