Sorry for the long wait. I've been busy and I haven't had as much time as I would like to work on certain stories. I try to do what I can when I get spare time. Since I have more time I will focus on this story and it's getting a lot of reviews and I will start writing for this story again.

Chapter 4- "Part I Of The Big Vacation, "

Sakura's P.O.V

Rock Lee. That's all I could think about half of the time. Once I got to know him he had the same weaknesses and strengths as me. If I needed cheering up then he would be right there. He was open to anything and I loved how he would keep protecting me. Sasuke was too difficult to get to and he seemed more focused on other things, Rock Lee was always there. We even studied with each other.

Rock Lee was reading a book when I appeared and he stopped reading as I entered the library, he walked outside as Lee held me close. I hugged him tightly as he sighed. He liked doing that and he loved how tight I would squeeze him.

"So, how is my cherry blossom today?" He asked. He seemed really happy. "You always look nice."

"Ah, Rock Lee." I would say, his hair blew in the wind as he smile. "So, I heard we're going vacation for a couple of weeks!" My eyes lit up as he watched my reaction.

"...Whaat? Vacation...We rarely go on those...we really do not do vacations...So, where is it going to be?" His smile grew wide as he looked at me, he seemed interested to go on a date while we're on vacation. "Wow, I hope it is on an island or something..."

"It is! They are called the "Saffron Isles" It's only a few miles away but it's close by..." I replied, Rock Lee jumped up and grabbed me.

"Is everyone going?" Lee replied. He frowned, something was wrong with him. "Neji...He does not deserve to go..."

I sighed, I kind of didn't like Neji due to the fact that he looks down on Lee all the time, it was sad. He couldn't do Ninjutsu or Genjutsu and Neji thought he was still useless and that he couldn't survive on Taijutsu. It made me mad. "Who cares, Lee? Just enjoy yourself, forget Neji. He'll learn to accept you and you guys will be good friends..."

Lee looked away. "Um, Well...I guess you are right, it is nice that you said that..." Lee kissed me on the cheek as I blushed and I couldn't believe how gentle he was. Lee has so many good abilities and was really polite with words, he looked at a clock and realized that he was late for training. "Sakura, I have to go...Gai-Sensei will kill me knowing that I am not there..."

Lee kissed me and ran off again, he almost fell over the fence and rushed past a crowd of people. I went back to studying and couldn't believe my eyes as Naruto stomped into the library yelling and he had to shushed by people as he ran over to me. He fell down next to the table as he sat back in the chair and got a book out and started to read. I went back to studying, my pencil broke in the process as Naruto slammed the table.

'Why does he have to be here?!?! I'm trying to study! Doesn't he know this is a library?!?!' I growled and continued to my work as Naruto went back to the bookshelf and made about twenty books fall down on top of him. He realized that no one had saw and began putting the books back on the shelf. Inner Sakura was having a fit and I slammed the table as Naruto looked at me.

"Naruto, do you know where you are right now?!?!" I whispered, he nodded and pointed to the sign. "You're supposed to be quiet in here, we might get kicked out!"

Naruto laughed as he waved at one of his clones who went to go get a book for him, I saw about ten of them and knew I was going to get kicked out due to him and his pranks. The worse thing was about to happen as I saw Naruto play with a glass jar and his clone picked up another as they both fell and a smash was heard. "Sakura! Get out! We'll get caught!"

I ran out with my notebooks as Naruto and I turned a corner and we hid behind a tree and watched the chaos happen. I looked at Naruto as he smiled and expected to get some fun out of it, I hit him with my notebook as he rubbed his cheek. It didn't do him much but he knew I was angry at him. What a way to start a vacation, Naruto already caused trouble and I bet he can't wait to be wild and about on vacation.

"Hehe. Sorry I ruined you're study time, Sakura." He replied as he smiled. "I didn't know my clone would have an accident with mishandling the jar..."

"That's fine..." I replied, I sighed and looked up at the sky. I was waiting for vacation to start and not for it to end.

End of P.O.V

The plane ride was long and boring as Naruto snored and fell asleep on Sakura as she looked annoyingly at him. He had been asleep for two hours as his drool caught some of Sakura's outfit and she wanted to scream, she shoved him off as he fell asleep on Lee who smiled and gently put him back in place. Neji was on the opposite side of Lee as he watched the ninja look out the window of the plane, Lee wanted to challenge him to every game if they played on vacation.

Lee looked at Sakura who smiled as he watched the attendants walk up and down the aisle getting orders and passing out food. Lee saw the cart come close as he woke Naruto and made sure that he was fed too, he was deciding when Sakura decided to go ahead and order. Naruto pouted.

"You mean there's no ramen?!?!" Naruto looked at the attendant who nodded. "Oh my god! How can you guys not serve ramen?!?! Everybody loves ramen!" Sakura sighed deeply as Naruto continued to make a fuss and a public appearance as he chose something else.

"Naruto! The world isn't going to end if a place doesn't serve ramen!" Sakura yelled, she took her order and sat down. "Jeez, I didn't think if ramen wasn't available to you that it was a world crisis!"

Lee quietly snickered and the others also began to snicker. Naruto took another order and settled down, he began to eat as Lee gave Sakura some of his curry to try. As soon as Sakura turned back Lee had already finished his food and began drinking his water. He seemed more excited that things were going good and he was enjoying the plane ride. Some were plane sick.

Lee brought medicine in case any of the others were going to be sick. Neji denied he was sick and ended up throwing up in a bag and continued to puke for ten minutes. He finally gave in and took the medicine Lee gave him and he drank a lot of water, the medicine wasn't the best tasting and everyone had to drink their water fast so the medicine would go down.

Sakura looked up from her magazine as she looked at Lee. "What do you think it'll look like, Lee? I want to get a tan and climb the waterfalls, I can't wait until we get there."

Lee smiled. "We hardly go to any islands but this one sounds special...I want to go to the beach and watch the sunset, and maybe go biking on the weekends."

Sakura nodded as she went back to her magazine as she put it away. Lee realized they were heading toward land soon and began getting ready for the landing, it happened a few minutes later and the plane came to a complete stop as everyone unloaded their luggage. They went through the airport as everyone checked in and waited for the sensei's to come through.

Tenten watched Lee a lot of the time until Neji became suspicious and went over to Tenten. She looked back as he saw him coming, she looked back at Lee and smiled.

"Tenten?" he asked. "Lee is with Sakura, he's not single."

"I know, but why would he choose her? Sakura doesn't seem to be his type."

"Something tells me you still like him, he wasn't sure if he did like you."

Jealousy came over Tenten's face. 'Why didn't he choose me? I don't understand!'. "Neji, I like Lee and I think he should be with me."

"That's your problem, I don't like getting involved in love triangles..."

Tenten looked back at Neji. He seemed to be the only one that didn't want to date anyone or he just wasn't interested in romance. He walked away and watched other planes come in.

Tenten couldn't watch Lee and Sakura kiss and cuddle each other, it just bothered her. She followed everyone else as they went out into the entrance of the airport and walked to the bus that would take them to their hotel. Ino sat next to Tenten as she looked at the blond, she was with Sasuke still and she was happy. Ino knew something was wrong with Tenten, she wasn't herself.

"Tenten? Is something wrong? Seriously, I haven't seen you this low in awhile..." Ino looked at Tenten who blinked twice and didn't respond. "Alright, tell me what's going on.."

"It's about Lee..."

A bump made the bus move all the items to the side and everyone jump up in their seat, Ino looked over at Lee and Sakura who were talking and having a good time like everyone else.

"Oh, so you like him how I like Sasuke?" Ino replied, she realized that this was serious. "Sakura is doing so much better with Lee, she was so devastated Sasuke was out of her hands..."

Tenten sighed. "Look, I try to move on from this but all the feelings for Lee come back."

Ino eyes widened. "Hm, it looks like it and you always seem to watch Lee now."

Tenten remained silent as the bus went over the scenery of the island, Tenten wondered if she could possibly win Lee back but she knew he already made Sakura his girlfriend and he didn't want anyone else. Lee only viewed her as a teamate and as a friend.

As they reach the hotel, Tenten followed Lee up to his room. The door closed behind them...Lee couldn't believe what he had just found out.

I left a cliffhanger for this chapter and things might be different in the next chapter, Please R&R.
