Well, since I've updated about everything, I decided to update this story as well. It has gotten the least amount of reviews but oh well, I guess I'm spoiled. Now, to answer you guys.

Animelover5.6: Aw, don't worry about it. You reviewed now! And I'm glad you liked it.

Rostta: More convincing? Really? What am I doing wrong then? Er…glad you liked the rest though.

PhinalPhantasy: hey, you a final fantasy-fan? Cuz, I am! Well, here you go!

Edo Rice Ball: Yay for emotion triggers! Aw, nice way of you to put it, but if I saw writing as hard work, I wouldn't do it. "grin" I do see a lot of passion in it. Thank you

Okay, that's all of them. Here we go people, next chapter!

It is simply difficult!

"Well Lee-san, to tell you that…er…" Lee stared at her awkwardly, and Sakura felt her chest and cheeks burning up as he did. "Go ahead, Sakura-chan." Lee tried. Sakura saw he was about as nervous as she was. Oh, how cute he was when…NO! She had to focus on the matter at hand. And that was…oh yes, to tell him. "To tell you that I gave you the daffodils." Sakura said weakly. It was the best excuse she could come up with that wasn't a lie.

An angry pound at the door suddenly sounded and Sakura could hear how the door got locked. She sighed, smiling a bit. She wouldn't tell him, no matter what Tsunade did. She was too afraid. She would not go trough the pain again, not anymore. She could still remember the numerous nights where she had cried herself to sleep because of Sasuke. Never again! "Ah, so you gave me those, Sakura-chan." Lee asked, not having heard or simply ignoring the pound the door had received.

Sakura smiled. "Yup, do you like them?" She tried pushing the handle of the door down but found it indeed was futile. "I truly do, Sakura-chan, they are beautiful." Lee raised an eyebrow at the movement of her hand. "Er…do you wish to leave, Sakura-chan?" Sakura had to keep herself from laughing out loud. She did! But she simply couldn't. "No, I don't Lee-kun." She assured the boy, not wanting to make him unhappy. She walked into the room and sat down in a chair. Lee blinked once more.

"Do you not have any other patients you should attend to, Sakura-chan?" Lee asked in surprise. "You would think so, wouldn't you?!" Sakura asked the door, raising her voice. Lee chuckled, drawing Sakura's attention. "Did Tsunade-sama really lock you up?" he asked, grinning. Sakura nodded in defeat. How sharp was this boy really? And why was his grin so mesmerizingly cute? Sakura couldn't help but smile when she saw it.

"How are you feeling, Lee-kun?" Sakura asked. "I'm not asking you as a nurse, but as plain Sakura." She added, knowing how routine that question must've been feeling by now. Lee lifted his right arm and wriggled his fingers. "Much better, thank you!" he said. "And how are you doing?" His voice sounded concerned. He had thought Sakura looked pretty tired and…sad recently. Sakura smiled a sad smile. Lee was being very perceptive today. She didn't want him to worry though.

"I'm doing just fine, I'm simply tired." She answered, slouching down in the chair. Another loud pound crashed down on the door and Lee looked away from Sakura to see if a hole had not been made. It hadn't. "Er… I think Tsunade-sama wishes for you to do something, Sakura-chan." Lee said. He knew very well what. He had heard it after all. She had to tell him something, but what? What news could be so terrifying that she didn't want to tell him?

He gasped as a sudden thought crossed his mind. His head snapped back to Sakura in sadness and concern. "Sakura-chan, may I ask you a question?" Lee asked. Sakura nodded. Lee seemed frightened all of a sudden. Why? "And you will answer truthfully?" he asked. Sakura nodded once more, her voice failing her. She could only hope he was not going to ask her that question. Lee gulped. "You are not hear to tell me, my injuries are so serious that they can never heal again, are you?"

Sakura's eyes widened in slight surprise. It seemed the one time Gaara had injured him still triggered some serious fears. "Of course not, Lee-kun!" Sakura practically yelled. "You're going to be….just fine." The last bit was barely a whisper. She hated seeing him in so much pain and truly hoped he would be fine soon. Lee was now staring at her sceptically. "Sakura-chan, why do you not simply tell me what is going on?" he asked, his voice stern yet caring at the same time. If she was here to tell him something, why hesitate?

"Because it's too damn difficult, Lee-kun!" Sakura snapped. She clenched her eyes shut, not wanting to see Lee's reaction. "Because I'm afraid." She said a bit more calmly. Lee gasped at her outburst but kept his eyes on the kunoichi he held so dear. "What are you afraid of, Sakura-chan?" he asked, dreading her answer. Sakura opened her eyes again. They were shining with fresh tears, simply refusing to fall. "Of you." She responded. Lee flinched at her response. She was afraid of him? But why? "Sakura-chan, I would never hurt you, you know this!" Lee screamed, desperate to make her believe him.

Sakura smiled her sad smile again. "I know that Lee-kun, I know." She sighed and got up. "It's just… people make mistakes, therefore, you can never be sure of what you do, and sometimes, you don't even have a choice." Sakura saw Lee didn't understand her, but she really didn't feel like telling him. It had been enough for now. She walked to the door and knocked it softly. It refused to open though. "Tsunade-sensei…" Sakura said calmly. "If you do not open this door, I will knock it down." She was dead serious. She needed to get away. The door didn't open though. "I swear I will never forgive you if I have to break the door, Tsunade-sensei."

Now, the door did open. "Sakura-chan…" Sakura turned around to face a very consumed Lee. "I'm sorry Lee-kun." Sakura said. "You'll understand someday." And she turned away again, walking past Tsunade who simply glared at her student. The blond sannin entered the chamber of Lee and looked at the now extremely confused boy. "I'm sorry Lee." She said. "…but I…" Lee stuttered. "…I would never… hurt her." Tsunade sighed. "There's more pain then physical pain Lee, you should know that." She said smiling and winking at the hot-blooded overachiever. "Don't worry about it Lee, she'll understand how wrong she is soon enough."

And with that, Tsunade left as well, leaving Lee alone with his thoughts. The rest of the day, nothing eventful happened. Lee has flatly refused to get any more shots for sleeping. He dreaded those things more then anything, even if Sakura was the one to give them to him. Talking about Sakura, he hadn't seen her all day. He sighed as he watched how the last streaks of sunlight disappeared behind the horizon, his gaze shifting from the sunset to the two daffodils on his windowsill. So, Sakura had been the one to give them to him.

But why? Was he really so clueless that he didn't understand? Was it something so obvious? He slowly drifted away into his sleep, because of the darkness that announced that the world was going to sleep. And soon, he was asleep so deeply that he didn't even notice a certain pink haired kunoichi snuck into his room. She took a chair and set it besides Lee's bed, seating herself inside it. She sighed as she watched Lee's sleeping form. She was so happy he wasn't a light sleeper. "I almost told you Lee." She whispered. "I am sorry for being so scared, I really am." She reached over to the daffodils and placed another one in it. "The third day." She whispered.

"I'm sure you'll get better soon." Tears welled up in here eyes once more. "You must get better soon." And she cried. She cried her eyes out for she didn't know how long. She felt like she couldn't stop her tears from falling. And then, all of a sudden, she looked up in surprise to see the sun was coming up again. She gasped as she heard Lee groan, waking up again. She had to run! Her eyes were puffy, they were red, she had tears staining her face. It was so obvious! And she hid the best place she could find. Underneath Lee's bed!

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Uh-oh, stupid of you Sakura. "sigh" Lee doesn't leave that bed all day, you know. Oh well, you guys please review me. Pretty please? Heheh, alright, see you next time.
