Chapter 4 – Rock Lee's Chapter

Sakura Haruno is by far the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. Her hair is the color of her name's sweet blossoms, her eyes are the most precious emeralds, her skin is like porcelain and I know that beneath all the metal of her braces that her teeth are like pearls. I first met Sakura when she started martial arts classes at my stepdad Gai's martial arts school with Tenten. She was a beginner but some managed to quickly get to my level. I don't whether it was her beauty or amazing skill or her sweetness that made me fall in love with her but I did. But I could never build up the courage to talk to her even though I was the coolest guy in the class besides Neji Hyuga.

The fateful day came when we were supposed to spar with our classmates but Neji wanted to spar with Tenten. Sakura and I were the only ones without a partner. She walked up to me.

"Rock Lee, right? I'm Sakura Haruno. Will you spar with me?" My heart flipped at least six times! Sakura wanted to spar with me! I almost died.

"Yes!" I agreed.

"Please be gentle," She was so cute. I was so distracted by her beauty that I let my guard down a lot and she hit me a lot but she was touching me!

"Lee!" Gai-sensei noticed my distracted performance.

"Yes, Gai-sensei?" I went to him.

"What is wrong with you? Why are you slacking?"

"I'm sorry, Gai-sensei. I was…distracted."

"Distracted? By what?" Was he blind? Well, I know he is not. He is my wonderful Gai-sensei after all.

"Sakura. I am in love with her," I confessed to him.

"You're in love with her, Lee? Ah! Youthful love! I am so happy for you, Lee!" He hugged me in jubilation. Sakura must have heard us because we were not very quiet and she looked so stunned by my words. I walked up to her smiling.

"Sakura, will you be my girlfriend?" I asked her.

"No."

My heart cracked.

"Why not?"

"I like someone else."

My heart broke into little pieces. But who had won my beloved Sakura's heart? It had to be some one in the class. Who, besides me and Gai-sensei, is the coolest guy? Neji.

"Nej," I challenge you to a duel for Sakura's heart!" I called him out.

"What?" he and Tenten looked utterly confused.

"You are the only other person Sakura could like so I will fight you for her."

"She doesn't like Neji," Tentn interjected. I saw Sakura nodding her head profusely.

"Oh. Then I retract my challenge, Neji."

"Ok," He graciously accepted then went back to sparring with Tenten. I turned back to my love.

"Who is it you like then?" I asked her. She blushed.

"I like-"

"Sakura," Out of nowhere some boy appeared in the room dressed in some dumb baseball uniform no less.

"Sasuke-kun!" She lit up and ran to him.

"That's him," Tenten came to my side having been beaten by Neji, "That's the boy Sakura likes."

"Him?" I watched him and Sakura.

"What are you doing here, Sasuke-kun?"

"Your parents are out of town again so Kaa-san said to pick up and bring you home," He seemed so uninterested in the honor of taking Sakura home.

"Really? Thank you, Sasuke-kun! But I have to finish class," She kept her priorities straight.

"Hn," He merely took a seat as she returned to the rest of us. I saw Gai-sensei go talk to the Sakura-stealer apparently called Sasuke.

"Will you spar with me now, Tenten," Sakura walked pass me.

"Sure," Tenten agreed. As the girls fought I looked back at this Sasuke fellow. He noticed my glaring and glared back. Prick.

I almost walked over to him but Gai-sensei started to show us a new technique. After class I begged sensei to let me follow Sakura. He consented and so I began to follow Sakura and the prick from a distance.

"How was your game, Sasuke-Kun?" She was so considerate.

"Fine," He answered so aloofly.

"Did you guys win?" She still tried.

"Yes." Why did he keep only answering in one word sentences?

"Is Itachi-nii-san working tonight?" She has an older brother?

"No."

"Good. He's been working so hard lately," She sounded relieved.

"Hn."

I followed them for a few more blocks. She kept trying to talk to him but he just kept it to one word answers if he answered at all. How could she like him? He wasn't that special or nice. I would be a far better boyfriend.

"Stop following us," Sasuke suddenly turned around and caught me.

"Rock Lee?" She said my name!

"I'm not following you," I lied quickly.

"Really? Where you going then?" Sasuke questioned me.

"This shop," I gestured to the building next to me.

"The Yamanaka Flower Shop?" Sakura cocked her head so cutely.

"Yes," I continued my lie.

"Are you buying flowers for someone?" She asked me.

"Yes," I kept at it.

"Well, they have the best flowers. I hope whoever you buy them for likes them," She smiled to me. To me!

"Let's go, Sakura," He grabbed her wrist and pulled her a little.

"Okay, Sasuke-kun. Bye, Lee. I'll see you next week," She waved good bye to me. She was so beautiful. She did not need to be a jerk like that Sasuke. I was going to win her heart no matter what. Maybe I should turn my lie into a truth and buy some flowers for Sakura. I bet she'd like that. I'll do it! I'll definitely win her!

"Welcome," a blonde girl welcomed me into the flower shop.

"Hello," I smiled to her.

"Are you looking for anything in particular?" She asked me after I browsed a bit.

"Yes. I want to send this girl I like some flowers but I don't know what kind to send."

"Well, you can never go wrong with roses. They are the flowers of love after all," She grinned.

"I'll take them!"

"How many?"

"How many are traditionally given?"

"Twelve."

"Twelve then!"

"Great. Do you want them sent to her or do you want to pick them up?"

I was not sure. If I gave them to her in person I might mess up what I want to say but if they were delivered with a card I wouldn't mess up.

"Deliver them please."

"Okay," She smiled, "Do you want to add a card?"

"Yes."

"What would you like it to say?"

"Sakura-"

"Sakura!" She yelped.

"Yes…you know her?"

She made a weird face and looked like she was going to laugh.

"Oh, yeah. We're good friends," She grinned.

"Great so you know where she lives then."

"Yeah. Is that where you want them delivered?"

"Yes."

"Okay. Back to the card," She was still grinning.

"Sakura, your eyes are emeralds, your teeth are pearls. Your hair are cherry blossoms sewn together and your skin is as porcelain. Your beauty is beyond compare and I love you. Please, forget that other boy and be my girlfriend. Love, Rock Lee," I was so romantic.

"Okay then," the girl looked like she was going to laugh again but instead told me the price. I barely managed to pay her. I used all my allowance but Sakura was definitely worth it.
