Questions

Warmth. Simple, yet comforting warmth. Cosiness. And such safety, why this safety? But most of all, there was the welcoming feeling of still being alive. Yes, she was alive. She slowly started to regain her senses, feeling her body ache about everywhere. This was a painful reminder of her failure. Her failure to get near Sasuke again, to get information on him, to find him. She had failed and that was the simple truth. She sighed inwardly, feeling how her body twitched slightly. Hm… how come she was nearly sitting up? This wasn't common in a hospital.

She tried opening her eyes but found her mind told her otherwise. She simply felt too weary to this action right now. Her ears caught the sound of breathing though. Her own? No, more breathing. It was soft, and rhythmic. Eventually, she noticed how it was warm on her neck too. The sensation of her support going up and down ever so slightly dawned to her as well. Alright, so there was someone behind her, and that someone was sleeping. But who could it be? Perhaps Naruto? No, this person was too…slim to be Naruto. Ino perhaps?

It was then she realized two arms were wrapped around her body very, very softly. It was no surprise that she hadn't felt it at first, but the very slight retrieval of one of the arms brought her to the attention of the situation. The arms were strong. Definitely not Ino. And then she remembered. The feet that had ran her way. The orange legwarmers. The bandaged arms that had carried her so gently and strongly, and the green jumpsuit she had been pressed against tightly and lovingly, warmth coursing trough her body. Ah…so that was the warmth she felt. She thought it seemed familiar.

Her eyes finally agreed with her and she opened them, waiting for the room to stop being blurry. Yup, she was in the hospital alright. She looked at her bandaged hand. It was hurting, well, naturally. She sighed and her eyes fell on the arms wrapped around her body still. And indeed they were the bandaged ones she knew so well. She sighed softly, turning her head a bit to see the green jumpsuit. Her body was hurting, and she was tired, but she didn't want to stay like this, however warm and comforting, it was slightly terrifying, for some reason.

So she turned slightly, not wanting to wake the body behind her and softly took the arms – that narrowed her movements – away. She then gently and very carefully turned fully to face the sleeping face of Rock Lee. Wow. He looked…peaceful. Normally, he was always so hyper and…bouncy, but now, sleeping, he seemed calm and even a bit older, perhaps even…cute. Sakura shook her head slightly. Perhaps she got hit on the head one too many times. His mouth was slightly open, warm breaths escaping it. His hair was messy, which made him seem even cuter.

Sakura shook her head more forcibly this time. What was her problem. She couldn't be thinking like this, she still had to go look for Sasuke, find him, try to persuade him again. How could she do that, how could she give him her all when she… had given that to someone else…not that Lee made her want to do this of course. She sighed once more. Sure, he was kind of sweet, staying with her like this, watching over her. He had saved her life…again. She gasped silently when she suddenly felt the two arms wrap around her again, softly pushing Sakura into Lee again.

Their faces were now mere inches away from each other, and Sakura found herself to be blushing for some reason. She had put her hands on Lee's chest to keep her from falling into him too much, feeling just how muscular he was. And soon, she found her good hand to be trailing his chest, of its own accord. Sakura frowned at her own actions. What in the world was she doing? She wasn't swooning over Lee now, was she? Why did she feel like she was cheating on Sasuke so much, even if they weren't together?

She frowned as Lee mumbled something in his sleep, turning his head slightly, giving Sakura a better look at his rosy…actually quite tasteful lips. Stop it Sakura, remember about Sasuke. Sasuke! She mentally slapped herself. She sighed once more as she realized that she was officially trapped right now. And still, she had her entire body tense. She wouldn't be able to keep this up or long though, it was tiring. So she decided to simply let herself relax onto Lee, her head on his shoulder. She brushed some of his hair out of his face, smiling as he started mumbling something again.

His facial features had grown rather handsome too, hadn't they? They were sharp, and well constructed and truly, very dreamy. Sakura swallowed. Alright, this was going too far. She felt the arms tighten around her waist slightly, the wound in her chest suddenly giving a painful sting, causing her to wince a little. She couldn't help it, the sound had escaped her lips before she had realized it. And this, finally caused Lee to wake up.

The boy seemed to be in a daze for a little while, not quite aware of his whereabouts. Sakura enjoyed seeing how he slowly woke up, as she had done, finally widening his eyes and looking down at a very much awake Sakura, a gasp of surprise escaping his lips. He quickly retreated his arms, taking away the warmth, Sakura pushing herself up with her good hand on Lee's chest. "I am so sorry, Sakura-chan." Lee said, apologizing thoroughly. "I did not realize what I was doing, I am not sure how exactly we ended up like this." He carefully crawled out of the bed, Sakura able to lay herself down again. "It's okay Lee, really." She said, mad at herself for her voice sounding so weak.

"I hope I did not hurt you, Sakura-chan." Lee said, completely horrified. "Not at all, Lee." Sakura said. He was being cute again. Another mental slap. She smiled at him sweetly, her hand patting the side of her bed, motioning for Lee to sit down with her again. "You saved me didn't you?" Sakura asked sweetly. Lee frowned. "I did not save you." His voice sounded very depressed. "I merely brought you to the hospital after you were hurt badly." Sakura blinked. "I would've bled to death without you, Lee."

Lee's head shot up. "Please do not say that." He pleaded. "I cannot bare the thought of you…dying, Sakura-chan. It was pure luck that I passed by you there, what I should have done was save you from whoever did this to you." Sakura sighed, patting Lee on his arm. "You can't always be there, Lee, that would make you a stalker." Lee managed a slight chuckle at this, but his eyes never lost their sadness.

"I still want to thank you, Lee." Sakura said. "And don't you dare argue to me about that." She continued sternly when she saw Lee open his mouth to respond. "Breakfast!" came a sudden voice. A knock on the door made both Lee and Sakura look at it. "Er…alright, come in." Sakura said uneasily. The door opened to reveal a nurse whose eyes widened as she saw Lee. "Sir, you're not allowed to be here." She said. "How long have you been here?" Lee blinked. "Er…since last night, I had permission." The nurse glared at him, not trusting him. "Either way sir, please leave now. This girl needs her rest. Just come back during visiting hours, when it's actually allowed." She sounded very strict for her young age. Lee decided not to argue.

"I will come back later, okay Sakura?" Lee asked, seeking assurance. Sakura smiled sweetly at him. "Alright Lee." She agreed. "See you then." Lee turned and walked away, eying the suspicious looking food from the corner of his eye. Hospital food really seemed bad. He turned one last time, to see Sakura, who seemed to be thinking the exact same. He chuckled and walked out.
