Well, hiya! I thought it would be best if I caught up on some writing today. I'm really sorry that it took me so long. I've been really busy. Anyways, enough excuses…

Hitomi Hotaru: Well yeah, cliffies rule. Here's the next chapter, at last.

Animelover5.6: glad you liked it. Here we go.

Shadow929: Aw, I'm glad you liked it. Thank you. Eh wow, a cavity?

The Bloody Shadow: well of course, Sakura is terrible at hiding, eh?

Sveta89: sorry I made you wait though. Thanks!

KawaiiScorpio: I like playing hide and seek as well. It's cool! Thanks for your review.

And now, without further ado, the next chapter… at last!

For now, you can stay

"Lee, what are you doing on the floor!" a horrified voice suddenly screeched. Sakura covered her ears as she saw Lee turn his eyes away from her, lifting his head to look at the nurse that had suddenly entered his room. "I am doing push-ups miss." Lee responded awkwardly. Sakura suddenly noticed that the boy was a very poor liar. "I cannot miss out on too much training, can I now?" Lee continued. His voice betrayed his uncertainty, and the artificial chuckle escaping his lips didn't convince anyone either.

Sakura heard the nurse sigh and walk up to Lee as Lee pushed himself up, rather clumsily one might add. "Lee, why are your towels scattered about?" the nurse asked as she helped Lee into his bed again. "I was looking for something." Lee responded, avoiding another lie. True enough, he had been looking for something… or someone. "Er… I will pick them up myself miss, please do not get yourself into the trouble." Sakura almost screeched as she saw the nurse bend down and pick up a towel.

"Lee, you're hardly in the state of doing so, why won't you let me do my job, hm?" Sakura shifted a bit closer to the right side of the bed, away from the nurse who was still picking up towels, neatly stacking them into the closet again. Sakura couldn't help but wonder why Lee hadn't yet told on her. She wasn't supposed to be there after all, and the entire situation had to look rather fishy to Lee. The boy wasn't stupid after all. And then finally, and without much trouble, the nurse left, leaving Lee with a warning to not get out of bed again.

After the door closed, silence remained in the room for a few more seconds before Sakura heard Lee let out a breath he was holding. She responded by doing the same thing. "I hope she did not give you too much of a heart attack." Lee suddenly spoke. Sakura jumped, not banging her head this time. Right, Lee already knew she was there. "Sakura, I did see you, you know." Lee said. "You can come out now, I will not tell anyone that you are here." Sakura sighed. She didn't have any other choice, now did she?

She slowly crawled away from the dusty area she had grown kind of accustomed to in those mere hours she had been under the bed, and emerged, avoiding any eye contact with Lee. The boy she very secretly loved. She heard him chuckle and felt a smile creep up on her. How could this boy always cheer her up so? He always made her forget any worries she might have. And that was part of the reason why she loved him. "Sakura, why are you not looking at me?" Lee suddenly asked. He sounded kind of hurt.

Sakura quickly turned around and saw Lee smile at her. "That is better." The boy said. He patted his bedside, motioning for Sakura to come and sit with him. Sakura followed Lee's kind gestures, like a lost puppy that simply wanted some attention, and sat down next to him, very carefully as to not to hurt him. "Now, why were you underneath my bed, Sakura-chan?" Lee asked kindly. Sakura blushed. "I was running away from work." Sakura mumbled. It was the excuse Lee had provided her with.

Lee seemed to have noticed that as well. "Sakura, please. I know that is not true. Why would you hide underneath my bed to do that?" Lee asked her. Sakura sighed. Lee sounded very serious all of a sudden. She didn't like him that way. It was kind of scary. He made her feel so very… inferior. She averted her eyes to her hand when she suddenly saw another hand grab it. Lee's hand felt so extremely warm, it was incredibly soothing. "Your hand feels cold." Lee said. "No." Sakura responded. "Yours is simply warm."

Lee chuckled at her pointless response. "Are you going to tell me yet, Sakura?" Lee asked, all serious again. Sakura couldn't help but worry at the lack of suffix behind her name. It was almost like a parent scolding its child. Again, she felt inferior, though she knew she really shouldn't feel that way. "Can't you figure that out yourself, Lee?" Sakura asked, equally serious. "I wish I could." Lee said, frowning cutely. "But you leave out important pieces of the puzzle. I cannot complete it this way."

Sakura opened her mouth to answer when suddenly, someone knocked. Sakura jumped in show. Where did she have to run to now? She almost dashed underneath the bed again when she felt Lee pull her on top of him, covering her with the sheets quickly. He lifted up his good knee, providing a lump in the sheets that could hide Sakura easily. Sakura's head rested on top of Lee's belly while his hand covered her mouth. The heat that suddenly radiated made Sakura dizzy, but that didn't matter. She felt good, not even caring about the door anymore, even though it had opened, allowing a woman to enter the chamber again.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

And there, that's done. I thought I was going to finish it with this chapter, but oh well, I guess not. I hope you enjoyed it. Please review.
