PhantasyDreamer: Well I'm back as I promised with a new update for this story. I want to thank you all for the reviews. To tell the truth I wasn't expecting so much, 19 reviews. I was surprised. Thank you, Thank you. Thanks again, you guys give me the confidence to know that I can write a humor fic without boring people. LOL! Anyway, here's the next chapter. Hope you like it. I don't own Naruto at all, otherwise Sakura and Sasuke would've been a couple already. Enjoy!
Date with Rock Lee
Chapter 2: Phase two Fountain of Love
Last time: "I'm gonna find out what really happened today." she stated with her head bowed low. "Oh really? What happened?" came a voice startling her, a voice she knew too well. "Huh?" she turned her attention towards the voice and was shocked to see none other than the great Uchiha himself, staring her with a slight smirk.
"You okay?" he asked as she stared at him with her mouth wide open.
The story continues...
Love is something hard to deal with in a young person's life but it's much harder when you notice that you can't force someone to love you. That's something that Sakura Haruno noticed bitterly but at times chose to ignore.
Sakura closed her mouth after she realized what she was doing.
"Sa-Sasuke, what are you doing here?" she began as she saw him give her a quick smirk.
'Now this is weird. Didn't I ask him this same question this morning?' she gazed at her teammate to see him fixing his wrist band.
"Here." he replied sternly, giving her a small white cloth.
She took it with a slight smile.
"You didn't tell me why you're here Sasuke." she started, catching him off guard as she wiped the remaining spit off of her face.
She sat patiently with her legs turned to her right side. Looking at her teammate she couldn't help but giggle at the annoyed expression he had on his face. He crossed his arms as he began to answer her question.
"I was training and I decided to take a break." he began as he sat down on the grass, his feet stretched out a few feet from her, "I heard a scream figuring it was someone important, someone worth saving so I dashed over here to find you."
He turned his face slightly towards her, giving her a harsh glare.
"Oh." she sighed, feeling rather stupid.
'Did he see what happened to Lee then? It was so embarrassing I hope he didn't see it.' her green eyes stared him as he instantly closed his in an attempt to get away from her intense glare.
'At least she believes me. At the rate I'm going I could end up being a pathological liar.' he frown at his thoughts.
Her fingers played silently with the white cloth that he had given her. Slowly placing her purse on the mat she began wiping off a slight piece of ketchup (hot sauce) that had fallen on her pink skirt unaware to her with the cloth he had given her. Sasuke let out a small laugh drawing Sakura's attention to him.
"So…how is your date going with Lee?" he asked suddenly, checking her every movement.
The pink haired girl stood still gazing at him blankly. She was shocked that Sasuke was sitting down with her much less talking to her since he was the one to actually start the conversation. She couldn't believe that he even had the nerve to sit down with her and ask her about her date. Besides, when did he care?
"It's going great, I'm enjoying myself. It's just…it's just…Sasuke something bad almost happened." she closed her eyes trying her best to hold back her tears while shaking her head.
"What is it? What happened?" he asked in an angry tone, as if he didn't know, "You're not hurt, are you?"
His black eyes gazed at her warmly and Sakura couldn't help but stare at him as if she senile. Looking down she saw that his right hand was on top of her left hand that was shaking violently. She didn't even realize it but gazed at him, stunned.
'Am I crazy? Why is Sasuke being so nice to me?'
She immediately composed herself calming down as he moved his hand away from hers. Taking a deep breath she decided not to tell him what had happened.
She chuckled sheepishly, "I'm okay. Nothing bad happened really. My mistake, ha, ha. See heehee!"
She tapped her hand a little rubbing it from the warm she felt a few seconds ago.
'I swear she's gonna turn out like Naruto one of these days.'
"What I want to know is if you're alright. I mean it's not every day you voluntarily come and sit down and talk to me." she stated harshly as she gave him a questionable look, "Are you sick Sasuke?"
She leaned over to touch the top of his forehead pushing up his headband slightly and instantly his face began to warm up. Her hand was warm and soft and just by her touch he felt light headed. He decided to take action before he lost his cool.
"Cut it out Sakura." he muttered as he knocked her hand away.
She gasped, seeing him make his way to his feet again.
"I'm leaving now to finish my training. Besides I don't want to ruin your day with Lee." he stated a bit too sarcastic for her liking.
The dark teal haired boy turned to leave with his hands stuffed in his pockets. He soon began running and then dashed off in a split second leaving his pink haired teammate staring in confusion.
'Man I'm such a fool, almost blew my cover.'
"Thank you Gai-sensei for bringing me here," the bowl haired shaped boy bowed his head as he sat in a small chair, "…after I fainted."
'Luckily, I was passing by though I can't let him know I was checking up on him.' Gai thought bitterly as tears well up in his eyes, 'I promise to never spy on you again Lee.'
"Now Lee, you know you are allergic to hot sauce, now why did you take it?" the tall guy known as his sensei asked sternly.
"I'm sorry Gai-sensei, I thought it was ketchup. Please forgive me for my unfortunate mistake. I promise to be the best student ever I will never do it again. Forgive me Gai-sensei!"
He pleaded with his hands clasped.
"Oh Lee you are my best student, I forgive you." the tall man yelled, throwing his fist into the air.
The two began to gaze at each other, each growing teary by the minute. Before long they burst into tears, bawling loudly.
"Gai-sensei!"
"Lee!"
"Gai-sensei!"
"Lee!"
They hugged for a minute and then released each other immediately chuckling at their silliness. Lee sighed as he touched his face that was slightly swell. His neck had a slight bumped on it and he hoped with all his might that Sakura would not see it.
"That's what I want to hear." his teacher replied, tapping him on the shoulder while wiping away any remaining tears he had on his face.
Both males remain in silence as a slim nurse made her way into the small room, her long mid-back blond hair bouncing with her every move. She wore a white nurse gown. She held a large needle in her hand while holding a large grin on her face. The medicine was already in it as she came closer towards Lee.
"Now hold still." she chuckled as she rolled up Lee's dark green sleeve.
Lee sat still shaking lightly while waiting for the needle to bore through his skin.
"Please make it quick, I can't make my cherry blossom wait any longer!" he yelled desperately.
Closing his eyes tightly he waited for impact.
"!"
A loud ear splitting scream could be heard throughout the hospital waking up even the near death patients. Who would've thought that Lee would be so deadly afraid of needles? The nurse slowly placed alcohol over the area, pressing the cotton firmly on his skin. Lee then hopped out of the chair still enthusiastic about finishing his date with Sakura. He was shaking a little but tried his best to brush it off. The bowl hair shaped guy was pretty angry that he had to go to the hospital because of his allergy but he decided that he didn't have time to think on it but get back to Sakura.
"Bye Gai-sensei!" the young boy smirked as he rushed towards the door while his teacher waved goodbye. He stopped for a minute and turned back to the nurse, "When will the swelling go down?"
"In a few minutes, don't worry." she smiled sweetly as the boy immediately disappeared out of the room.
The nurse turned around to see Lee's teacher staring at her mysteriously. He was smirking at her and even growling in a flirtatious manner and that only made the nurse shutter in disgust. He then struck a pose in his famous green spandex suit, giving the thumbs up with a wide smile. The young lady flinched when she saw his teeth ping.
"Are we done here or do I need to stick you with a needle too?" she asked rather harshly.
"There's no need for that my sweet vixenbecause you've already struck my heart with something I like to call love." he muttered making her arched her eyebrow.
"What?"
"This must be my lucky day because heaven is definitely missing an angel and I just won the jackpot." he gave her a weak smile as he reached for her hand to kiss it. He kissed it and she gave him a look of pure hate, "That jackpot is you baby."
When she pulled away he headed towards her face. Before he got close enough to kiss her she took up a bed pan from the counter and slapped across his face.
"Get away from me you pervert!"
The nurse rushed out of the room leaving Gai lying on the floor as if lifeless.
"Is everything in position?" Sasuke asked seriously as he peeped through a line of bushes near a tree where a large fountain stood in front of them.
"Yeah! This should be great I can't wait to do this!" Naruto exclaimed happily while standing next to Sasuke who frowned at him.
"What are you staring at loser?" Sasuke asked miserably wondering why his teammate was staring him with a sad expression on his face.
"I'm just nervous here." he started scratching his spiky blond hair, "Are you sure we're not going to kill Lee like we almost did? I mean if Sakura finds out she's gonna kill me not you!"
Sasuke chuckled taking his hand out of his pocket as he held a piece of paper, "Correction we didn't almost kill Lee. You did."
Naruto growled remembering how much he hated it when Sasuke acted superior to him. The blond growled clenching his fist while glaring at his rival.
'He thinks he's so cool!'
"Arrgh! Sasuke you think you're so cool, I'm gonna knoc-" he began ranting when he felt a piece of paper being stuck in his mouth.
'Huh?'
"Memorize these lines. When Sakura and Lee gets here then we can begin phase two." he turned back around looking out for the couple.
"Whatever!" Naruto yelled, sitting down on the grass.
"Sakura!" came a loud shout as the pink haired girl turned to see her friend running towards her.
"Lee!" she yelled, rushing towards him, purse in hand.
She stopped only a few feet away from him and noticed the slightly big bump on his neck. She decided to ignore it in order to not make him feel embarrassed. He gave her a small handkerchief and she took it willingly, placing it in her purse, after wiping her face again.
"Let's go!" he screamed as he grabbed her left hand and ran away to his next destination.
Sakura ran as well trying her best to keep up with the tall guy. They journey close to a wide area where many couples were sitting around enjoying the presence of each other. Some were even kissing and Lee couldn't help but blush at the thought of Sakura kissing him. Meanwhile Sakura was staring relentlessly at Lee's bump, it was slowly going down but it was creepy nonetheless.
'Wow I wonder if Lee was allergic to the ketchup!' she thought, feeling him loose her hand, 'Probably that's why he has that bump.'
"Sakura…" he began, taking both of her hand, she stared him questionably while brushing down her skirt.
He took out two coins from his black pants pocket and placed one in her hand. Releasing her hand they both walked towards a large fountain in front of them. It was very big and wide enough for someone to sit on it. The top of the fountain was over flowing greatly with water while small lilies lay in the water below. A statue of a cupid stood in the middle of the fountain. The two stood silently on the concrete floor dwelling in the peace and tranquility that surround them.
"Now Sakura…hold that coin and think of your greatest desire."
She smirked with a slight nod.
'My greatest desire? Well that's easy. To be Sasuke's wife of course.' she giggled at the thought causing Lee to look at her.
Lee crossed his fingers in front of his face as he began to chant with his eyes closed, "Oh great spirit of the fountain, protector of love and serenity! Please hear our thoughts and grant us our sole desire!"
He yelled raising his hand in the air, Sakura followed nervously.
'This is weird.' she immediately closed her green eyes.
"Now Sakura, throw the coin in and think real hard on your wish."
"Okay." she muttered as she and Lee simultaneously threw their coin into the water.
'I wish that Sasuke would one day accept me as his friend and maybe even something more.' she smirked.
'I wish that Sakura would fall madly in love with me and kiss me tenderly. Heehee!' he chuckled at the thought.
"Okay that is it." he turned to her, "Let us sit, I have something for you."
He stated while she followed him nervously towards a small bench much like the one she sat on when Naruto had transformed into Sasuke unaware to her.
"Sakura, I know you only consider me as a friend, but I care for you deeply," he began standing while she sat gazing at him, "…that's why I want to give you this."
He outstretched his hand and she looked at it blankly.
"What?" she took his hand and inspected it, "I don't see anything but your hand Lee."
"WHAT?" he yelled, holding his head immediately, "Oh no, how could I have lost it? Sakura do not go I will be right back."
He dashed off running in the other direction behind her where a large layer of bushes lay.
"Wow! What a date." she sighed as she placed her right hand on her forehead to block the harsh glare from the sun, "This is great."
The pink haired kunoichi bowed her head in defeat, "Just great."
Lee ran as fast as he could as he dashed towards the Cherry Blossom tree he had left only a few minutes ago. There sitting on the grass was the gift he had for Sakura. He picked it up, the box that is and then began sprinting back towards her. He wasn't too far when he looked down at his hands to see that the gift was gone. And what was worst was he was almost close to reaching to Sakura. Turning around he saw the gift on the concrete ground. Running for it, it moved scaring him.
'What unfortunate events caused this to happen?' he thought bitterly as he attempted to get the gift once again, but missed as it moved again, 'This is not good. Sakura is waiting. She will die of boredom if she waits any longer.'
He jumped after the gift but unfortunately landed hard on the pavement, slamming his face hard on the ground. Turning to his left he saw the gift sliding away into a clearing where a few trees stood, it was also surrounded by bushes that grew high in the air, the types of bushes that are seen in garden mazes.
He continued walking close to the tree where the gift stood next to.
"Now come here my friend, you belong to Sakura!" he yelled as he moved cautiously towards it, "I cannot wait to see her expression when she gets it."
He chuckled to himself as he walked slowly towards the gift that was now perched up against a tree. As soon as he was close enough to touch it a long rope snaked around his ankle and jerked him into the air. Before he knew what happened he was hanging upside down from the tree.
'I sense two chakra signatures here. Wait! There are four of them. Is this some sort of genjutsu?' he thought, still hanging from the tree at a dangerous height, 'Oh boy, I'm surrounded!'
His dark green shirt fell towards his chin showing his firmly toned abs. The black haired boy gazed at his surroundings. He knew he could get out if he had his shiruken holster but unfortunately he didn't have that either his ninja headband. He gasped at the surroundings, it wasn't too small but big enough to fight his way out of there. The place slowly began to darken as his eyes darting around in shock. A large puff of smoke appeared causing him to cough a lot, he closed his eyes tightly trying his best to hide the threatening feeling he was getting. Besides what was really going on? And what was going to happen to him?
Lee eyes shot open as he heard a twig snap.
'Oh no, please don't tell me it's the boogie man!' he thought as he covered his face with his hands, 'I am deadly afraid of him.'
An eerie wind whipped around the area causing the smoke to spin sinisterly in the air and dirt to fly violently in his face. Howling of wolves and dogs could also be heard in the distance and Lee trembled in fright.
"W-Whose there?" the bowl haired shaped boy squeaked.
A dark figure emerged from the misty shadow wearing a black hooded cloak that touched the ground. The figure appeared to be floating. Lee's eyes widen in horror.
"It's the creep keeper!" he yelled, trying desperately to get free.
"STAY AWAY FROM SAKURA!" the voice started in a howling manner.
"Who are you?" he asked gazing at the scene to see more figures appear before his eyes.
He counted and then realized that it was almost ten of them. He couldn't get it out of his head. Who were these guys? He shrieked as he saw two lone skeletons began to crawl their way up the tree, eyes beaming red. They moved towards him dangerously as their mouths moved back and forth cackling loudly. He frowned for a minute and turned back to the cloaked figure.
"WE ARE THE ANCESTORS OF THE HARUNO CLAN!" they began humming songs and incantation, "WE HAVE BEEN SUMMONED TO WARN YOU!"
"What?"
"STAY AWAY FROM SAKURA IF YOU WISH TO LIVE, OTHERWISE THERE WILL BE A CURSE UPON YOUR LIFE!"
The figures pointed to him making him shiver in fright. He brushed off the feeling and glared at them.
"Never! I care deeply for Sakura, and I will never stay away from her!" he screamed, wiggling violently while still upside down, "I do not care about any curse! You can throw what ever you want. I will never strand my Sakura away!"
"FINE! YOU HAVE BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELF!" the leader lifted his hands in the air as the wind whipped around violently, making a screeching noise, "NOW WE, THE ANCESTORS OF THE HARUNO CLAN PROCLAIM A CURSE UPON YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR DOG CHOCHO!"
Lee twitched his eyebrow scared to death.
"CHOCHO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT CHOCHO!"
Violent tears were streaming down his eyes as he wiggled to get free. He whimpered a little thinking hard about his cute white and black little poodle at home.
"DO YOU PLAN TO LEAVE SAKURA ALONE FOR GOOD?" they began still chanting in the background, "FOR IF YOU DO NOT HEED OUR WORDS, YOU SHALL SURELY DIE!"
"D-Die? But I am too young and handsome to DIE!" he yelled trying to grip the rope while sweat rolled down his cheek, "I am only thirteen, I cannot be cut down in my prime!"
Closing his eyes in defeat, he then gazed at the ghostly figures before him, trembling at the sight of a skeleton's hand rubbing his face and stroking his black hair evilly. He let out a heart wrenching scream as the skeletons fell to the floor. He exhaled deeply trying not to kill himself as he tried to find the right words.
"I, Rock Lee of the Leaf Village promise to stay away from Sakura Haruno…forever."
"YOU HAVE PLEASED US WELL!" they nodded with their hands clasped.
Without warning the rope was cut and Lee fell harshly to the ground hitting his head. He got up and ran away bawling loudly leaving the so called ancestors behind.
"My Sakura forgive me!" was all that could be heard as he ran towards her.
Two figures came out of their hiding places gleefully feeling triumphant with their selves for a prank well done. They had to admit that it went pretty well.
"Ha, Ha, Sasuke I could've sworn that Lee would have peed himself to death!" Naruto yelled clutching his stomach in pain.
Sasuke let out a light chuckle while smiling a little.
"Naruto, I have to admit it was funny. At least now he'll leave Sakura alone." he turned to pack up the equipment they had used for their prank.
"Right! Let's hurry up and see if it worked."
"Yeah, let's just finish here first."
Lee stopped a moment to catch his breath. He had finally reached Sakura to see her dozing off on the bench. Her head was leaning on the side of the bench rail while she sat sideways on the bench. He couldn't believe she had fallen asleep. Had he been gone that long?
"Sakura…" he whispered, shaking a little as he remembered what just happened.
She stirred and looked at him skeptically. He looked like he had seen a ghost and was about to faint.
"Lee, you're back!" she immediately sat up.
"Yes I am. Take this." he sighed as he gave her the medium sized box that was chipped on the side a little. He turned his back to her as she stood up, "I cannot continue our date Sakura. There is no use in me trying to force you to love me."
A single tear fell down his cheek and he wiped it away immediately.
"But I…" she started but he interrupted her.
"No need for words Sakura. I will always love you but I cannot bear a curse upon my family and I will do what ever it takes to protect them…" he paused while taking a deep breath, "…even if it means forgetting about you."
The pink haired kunoichi gasped.
'What's up with Lee? I don't get it. Did I do something wrong?' she thought clutching the box tightly in her grasp.
"Lee I don't get it. What did I do?"
"Goodbye Sakura." he ran away before she got a chance to stop him.
Sakura walked down the path, opposite from where Lee had left. She didn't quite understand what had happened. Bowing her head she held the box firmly in her grasp, her pink drop curls bouncing elegantly as she moved. She sighed as she clutched the box to her chest, creasing her black shirt. Stopping for a minute she decided to open the package and see what it was. She pulled off the pink wrapping and then opened the box. Inside was a small music box, the outside of it was pink. As she opened the box she gasped at the beautiful melody that came from it. In the middle of the box just above the small mirror stood silver like ballerina that spins submissively around in a circle following the music. She closed the box and placed it back into the medium box she was given. Sakura sighed loudly as she continued to walk down the path feeling pretty bad that her date was over.
As much as she didn't want to admit it, she was enjoying the date. It wasn't how she had figured it would be but it was still great regardless.
'I don't get what I did wrong. Was it because I was sleeping?' she thought as she heard soft mumbling up above.
She walked up towards the towering bushes to peer through it. She was shock to see Naruto and another person talking. The other person was wearing a black cloak that touched the floor so she couldn't see his face or his eyes. She could only guess that it was someone around their age range or someone she knew quite well.
"Ha, Ha, do it again!" Naruto yelled, chuckling loudly.
"I AM THE GREAT ALKABO OF THE HARUNO CLAN!" the person said in a deep voice.
"That was priceless, we should've used that line instead!" the blond boy yelled, cackling, "At least now Sakura won't be with Lee anymore. I don't know why she agreed to it in the first place. So, could you tell me where you got the idea from?"
There was silence and Sakura couldn't decipher what the other person had said. Before she knew it Naruto spoke again.
"What do you mean you're not going to tell me?"
The pink haired girl frowned, coming from behind the bushes. She growled clenched her fists tightly. So Naruto and his friend were behind Lee's weird behavior. She then remembered what Lee had said about a curse. She now understood why he acted that way towards her.
'How dare he and whoever he's with try and do this to me?' she thought angrily, feeling her face heat up, 'I'll make them pay for this! There is no way I'm gonna allow them to ruin my date with Lee. This is my first date for goodness sake. WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE ANYWAY?'
She pounded her fists together, 'They're gonna pay for that. I'm gonna make them regret trying to ruin my date, especially Naruto. He picked the wrong day to mess with me!'
She turned and then started running in the next direction.
"Lee, wait for me!" she screamed to no one in particular.
After a few minutes of running she saw Lee walking slowly passing the large cherry blossom tree. Apparently he had been walking very slow but was surprised to see his pink haired friend shouting his name. She rushed up to him and embraced him in a hug. He stood still shock looking down at her pink hair.
"Lee, I don't care we can continue our date." she mumbled into his dark green shirt.
"What?" he gasped, "But I do not want my family to die because of your family's curse."
She chuckled vibrantly releasing him from the hug, "Don't worry about that, I'll handle it. Now where were we going next?"
"The festival." he stated coyly.
"Okay, I have an idea, let's go by the park for a while, I want to go on the swings." she grinned as she dragged him away.
Naruto and Sasuke had been dashing continuously from trees trying their best to find Sakura. When they finally spotted her pink hair in the distance she was in the Leaf Village Park. They landed upwards in a tree, looking down they were shock to see Sakura and Lee playing on the swings. Naruto held his mouth wide open while Sasuke frown in disgust.
"I don't get it. What are they doing together?"
"Hmm, something's not right." the dark teal haired boy muttered.
The two young ninjas jumped towards another tree which was much closer towards the couple, they kept quiet trying to hear what was going on. Sakura and Lee were on separate swings while holding hands. Sakura was blushing constantly and Naruto wondered why. He was burning with jealousy. And Sasuke was mad too but tried his best not to show it.
"Wow Sakura, I have not been on swings for so long." Lee grinned swinging back and forth while clutching her hand tightly, "I'm so glad I didn't bother to take heed to the curse."
Sakura chuckled hard almost falling off of the swing, "No need to worry about a curse. There is no such thing anyway. Plus I want to enjoy this date as much as possible and right now I'm enjoying myself."
Sasuke sweat dropped while Naruto staggered back almost falling out of the tree. She's enjoying herself? What were they possibly doing wrong? To their knowledge she only considered him as a friend. And now she wanted to enjoy the date? Sasuke knew this was going to happen. She was going to enjoy the date so much that she would fall in love with Lee and the thought of that happening scared him. For he knew he would no more hear her call his name loudly when he would always tell himself that she was annoying him when actually it was the opposite. He loved it when she called his name but now he knew that was never going to happen again.
"WHAT?" Naruto yelled as Sasuke gave him a glare, "Is that Sakura or is she replaced with a clone or something?"
The dark teal haired boy raised his index finger towards his mouth trying to silence Naruto. Luckily he understood and kept quiet for a few minutes.
'It looks like Sakura might have figured out something.' he thought, glaring deeply at the couple swinging back and forth, 'If she has we might be in for some deep trouble. What am I saying we for? It's Naruto that's gonna get a beating anyway.'
He smirked as Naruto started pacing back and forth on the branch.
'I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die. What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?' the blond thought desperately, shaking his head violently, 'She's gonna hate me more if she finds out. What am I saying? She's gonna burn me ALIVE!'
"What are we gonna do? Should we even do something?" he looked at Sasuke whom had his eyes close as if thinking hard on the situation.
Opening his black eyes he exhaled harshly.
"I'll figure something out. Besides, we're her teammates…" he began folding his arms, "and we should do everything in our power to break up any wrong relationship she gets in and then…"
He pause making Naruto raise a blond eyebrow at him.
'Crap! I almost said 'and then she gets together with me.' Am I sick or something? To think something so…so crazy.' he scratched his hair trying to find the right words to cover up his misuse of words, 'Okay breathe. I'm an Uchiha, I can do this. Think, think. I got it!'
"…and then make her unhappy." he finished off as Naruto gapped at him.
The blond chuckled placing his hands behind his head before speaking, "You know for someone who claims to be a genius you sure have lame excuses for your actions."
The dark teal haired boy scoffed.
"Whatever!" he snapped trying to hide the crazy emotions he was getting, "The thing is it looks like Sakura has a slight clue of what is going on. We're gonna have to be more careful from now on."
"You're right!" Naruto agreed, crouching down on his knees, "Can't have her ruining or plans now."
Sasuke smirked as he breathes in deeply.
Sakura got off of her swing and began pushing Lee. For some reason she always liked going on the swings when she was younger, it gave her a sense of flying.
"Sakura, you shouldn't!" Lee yelled.
"Come on, you made me lunch, gave me roses and a gift," she sighed as she stood next to his right side while the swing swayed lightly, "the least I could do is push you on the swing."
He paused for a moment wondering if it was such a good idea.
"Okay."
She began pushing against his back with all her might. Before long he began swaying high into the air.
"Yay Lee, that's great!" she giggled, still pushing him high into the air.
After a few minutes she had stopped and went to sit on the other swing. Her lips felt dry and she began searching through her purse for her lip gloss. Unfortunately it was not there. She stood up and saw it a few feet from where Lee was swing. He wasn't going too high now anyway, so she figured she could just dash for it and make it back before getting hit.
'Okay at the rate he's swinging I can make it back just in time before he comes back.' she thought as she stood up immediately, 'Here goes nothing.'
In a few seconds she dashed for the lip gloss. She had gotten it and stood up in time before he had swing back. She was about to move when she noticed something familiar. It was one of her old friends staring her. It was Ino. She was passing by while giggling at her. Sakura got mad immediately and barely remembered that Lee would be swinging back at any minute. And before she knew it Lee knocked into her by accident sending her flying into the sand. Lee got off of the swing to see his friend lying in the sand as if she was dead.
"SAKURA!" he shrieked as he rushed to aid her.
"I'm gonna kill him!" a soft yell could be heard in the distance.
Well tell me what you think? I worked real hard on this chapter. A note to everyone I don't believe in the God of the fountain things, chanting and those other stuff. I just placed them into the story in an attempt to make it funny. I hope I was successful with that. And I'm in no way bashing Lee, because I like him. The poor guy. He's cool although he's weird at times too. Sometimes I think Sakura should just go with him. Anyway, please review and let me know if you like it. Catch ya later!
