Well… I just feel like writing some more, I simply love to write. Right now, I'm very eager to, so let's answer my reviewers.

Timespanned soul: I'm glad you do. I'm sorry for the long wait though.

LeeLover09: You think so? Aw, you're just saying that. And it's spelled thoroughly. "grin" not that, that matters though.

InvaderWeb: Well, you know I enjoy what you write, it's only natural. I'm very honoured that you like this ficcie though. I hope you'll enjoy the rest too.

Panther eyes: Wow, you're an empathy? I wish I could be like that. "sigh" Very good, that is exactly what Ordula is trying to tell her! And as long as Sakura keeps on hurting Lee, she'll feel the sting herself. Lee just keeps on smiling though.

StrawberrySakuraChan: "blink" interesting? They're rare! Extremely rare! If you know of any, please tell me! Thanks, I will!

And that's all of them. And now for the third chapter.

Trying to get along

When Sakura woke up the next morning, she couldn't help but want to stay in bed. Perhaps she could fool herself into thinking all of the previous events were all a dream. That thought scattered as soon as she saw the black demon cat on her bed. She wanted to throw it out of the window but knew this wouldn't do much good. "Indeed, I can fly you know." The cat responded, reading Sakura's mind. Sakura angrily threw her pillow at the cat, knowing Ordula could easily avoid it, and didn't even look at it.

Instead she simply went to take a shower. Oh, how the water felt great on her cold skin. She wanted to stay in it forever, but then she would soon enough run out of hot water. And eventually, she decided to simply get out again, now reeking of Sakura blossoms, the fragrance of her soap. She sighed deeply and got dressed. So far so good. No pain and no aches. Everything was alright. Perhaps, she should stay away from Lee today.

"What are you still doing here?" Ordula commented. "And where are your parents, girl?" Sakura glared at the black cat, the demon slightly taken aback by the reaction. "They are nonexistent, you stupid beast." Sakura hissed in a low voice. "And I can be here if I want to be." This time, Ordula said nothing in return. She just sat there, mockingly. Sakura sighed in exasperation and went outside. Fine, she would go for now. She didn't feel like sitting inside with that cat all day anyways. For some reason, it loved to call her cruel names.

She was so caught up in her daydream that she didn't notice a certain person about to walk past her. "Ignoring me today, are we?" A dark voice commented. Sakura freezed, cruelly pulled back to reality. She snapped her head to the person talking to her, wanting to say something rather mean, until she saw who it was. "Oh…Sasuke-kun." Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Sakura. "Something the matter?" Sakura thought about it for a second.

Should she tell him? She knew she could trust Sasuke, she didn't love him for no reason after all. Then why did she suddenly feel so uncomfortable around him though? "Nothing really, I'm just sleepy." Sasuke grinned at her. "Your parents woke you up too early eh?" This was Sakura's sign. She put on the fake smile she always put on when asked questions involving this matter and nodded automatically. "Indeed, I had to help around the house." Sakura said, quickly making up the lie.

Sasuke shrugged, as if he hadn't expected an answer to his question, and was just about to walk on, when Sakura regained a courage she thought she had lost. She grabbed Sasuke's hand and made him stop. "Please come eat with me today, Sasuke, please?" Sasuke eyed her suspiciously. "Why?" Sakura smiled at him. "I want to talk with you about certain things." She answered. She wanted to talk about Ordula. Perhaps Sasuke knew a way to get rid of the black cat from hell.

Sasuke though, simply sighed. "Please, give it a rest." He growled. "I'm not interested in you Sakura." He said as clear as he could, as if talking to a child. "I don't want to talk about the future or about a relationship, I don't want to talk about the kind of girls I like, so please, find someone else to bother and talk to. If you want to train though, or if you need me for a mission, I'll be sitting at home." And with this said, he left.

Sakura was left standing there. "But…" she whispered. "That's not what I wanted to… talk about." And yes, there was that familiar sting, that pain, the hurt. And she sighed. "Why must he always be so cold? It hurts." She had no idea she was stalking out loud though.

"Sakura-chan, you are hurting?" a caring voice asked. Sakura turned around to face the one person she didn't want to see today. Nonetheless, she smiled at him. "Oh, hi Lee, no, I'm alright." She responded. Lee sighed. "I can see that you are lying Sakura-chan." Lee said. "But please, do not care so much of what Sasuke-kun says." And he smiled a smile that warmed Sakura's heart. "But if you would like to, I could listen to what you have to say."

Oh, so Lee had heard her. Sakura wasn't sure what to do now. She could hardly tell Lee that a demon cat had cursed her with the pain she herself caused Lee. On the other hand, if she turned him down, she was sure his and her own heart would fall to pieces. She once more presented Lee with a warm, kind smile. "If you don't mind, can we talk about something else? You can buy me dinner." Lee's eyes widened. "Do you mean it Sakura-chan?" Sakura giggled at his happiness. She had to admit, the boy could be pretty cute.

"When would you like to go?" Lee asked, obviously thinking over some unnecessary things to do already. "I'm hungry now." Sakura said, her hands folded behind her back, and bending forward a little bit. "Is that okay for you?" Lee blushed and once more, Sakura couldn't help but think about the cuteness shining in his dark eyes. Come to think of it, those eyes really were quite mesmerizing. Sakura quickly shook her head at that though. "Where would you like to go eat Sakura-chan?" Lee asked, his voice wavering with excitement.

Sakura brought her finger to her lower lip, thinking it over. Lee was waiting patiently, a blush spreading across his cheeks. Sakura could think of nothing though. She didn't go out to eat that much, only at Ichiraku ramen. "Why don't you decide Lee-kun?" she asked sweetly. "I can honestly think of nothing, but I'll trust you." She saw Lee gulp, a goofy smile decorating his lips.

"Well then, I will take you to a fine place, for a satisfying lunch." Lee said. He motioned to take her hand to pull her with him, but seemed to dispose of that thought at the last moment. He was either shy or trying to be polite. Either way, Sakura simply took his hand in hers, now trying not to laugh at the redness in Lee's cheeks. At least she wasn't feeling the hurt anymore.
