I don't know if Lee even has a mom...or a sister...but in this he does... sue me if you don't like it...
Sakura and Lee sat in that tree for hours, talking and getting to know each other. By the time the sun came up, they were both asleep, with Lee's arms wrapped around Sakura, almost as if to protect her.
"Hey Sakura. You want to stay at my house for awhile?" said Lee groggily after the two woke up. "I mean I'm sure my mom would let you stay after she knows what happened."
"...Ok Lee." Sakura said still half asleep.
"Good. Let's go home."
At Lee's house...
Sakura waited outside Lee's house anxiously listening to the conversation inside.
"Uh Mom...can I ask you a question?" Lee asked nervously.
"..."
"It'll only take a second."
"..."
"Well um...this girl that I know...she was thrown out of her house and I was wondering if she could stay with us for awhile."
"..."
"No. She didn't do anything wrong."
"..."
"No she is not a troublemaker."
"..."
"You really want to know why she got kicked out?"
"..."
"Her dad loved her so much...her just showed in it a really creepy way. he molested her mom. He never wanted her to leave so he wouldn't let her date. She got kicked out because her dad found out and beat her up until she left."
"..."
"I'm telling the truth! She's covered in bruises."
"..."
"Why do I care? I care...well...you see..."
'It's because I like her' Lee thought. 'Actually...I love her. I can't stand watching her get hurt and I would do anything to protect her. That's why I want her to stay.'
"I just don't want to see her getting beat up anymore than she is. She's my friend."
"..."
"So she can stay?"
"..."
"Thank you Mom I love you so much!!!"
Lee walked outside to tell Sakura the good news.
"Sakura you can stay you can stay!!"
"Really? Oh thank you Lee!" she said walking over to him and embracing him. "Thank you."
'Oh my God!' thought Sakura 'Why am I hugging Lee? Do I...do I like him? No I can't...I can't like Lee...he's...Lee!'
After a couple of minutes they let goof each other and walked into the house.
A couple of hours later, Lee and his mom went out. They asked Sakura if she wanted to come, but she politely refused.
"Thanks but no thanks," she said "But I think I'll just stay here and think about all that's happened."
"Ok," replied Lee. "That's understandable. We'll be back around 10. If you need anything just cal my cell phone and I'll be home in a matter of minutes."
"Ok...thanks Lee. Bye."
"Bye Sakura."
After they left, Sakura decided that the best way to unwind and think was to take a bubble bath. She used to take them all the time but once her dad started touching her she stopped. She was too scared.
She turned the faucet on and water slowly came out, gradually becoming warmer the longer it was running. She added in some bubble bath, and stirred it around with her fingers so that within minutes, the ordinary water had become a sea of bubbles. Bubbles that smelled like eucalyptus! She grabbed a towel and, making sure that the door was locked first, she undressed. She looked at her clothes.
'Damn. They're all bloody and ripped. I'll wash then later and them sew them back together...hell I might as well just buy new clothes.' she thought.
She slowly slid into the tub, making sure that none of the water overflowed and fell onto the floor. Once she was all the way in, she closed her eyes and thought about the past few hours.
A few hours ago...
"Ok, that's your room." Lee said, pointing to a room at the end of the hall.
Sakura slowly walked down the hall admiring all the pictures of Lee as a kid hanging on the walls. In most of the pictures, his mom was hugging him or doing other embarrassing things that parents do. Half way down the hall, Sakura began to silently cry as she realized she never had that. Noticing the stream of tears going down the girl's cheek, Lee's mom asked her if she was ok.
"I'm fine," Sakura answered. "You really love Lee don't you? I mean...in all these pictures you're always hugging and..."
She couldn't talk anymore. The tears were flowing so fast that is was making it hard to breathe. Lee's mom knew what was wrong and embraced Sakura with love that only a mother could have. She quietly whispered into Sakura's ear that it wasn't her fault that her dad never hugged her or showed any affection for her, or her fault that her did any of the things he did. She didn't do anything wrong. She was her new mother and she loved her.
Sakura absorbed these words. Lee's mother, in the two hours that she knew Sakura, just said the one thing she didn't hear from her father in 17 years.
"Thank you," Sakura quietly whispered back as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
Sakura let go of Lee's mother and continued her walk down the hall.
When she got to her new room, she noticed that even though it was small, it was cozy. It was painted a light shade of yellow, with big cherry blossoms on one of the walls. There were two dressers, one long one and one tall one. Above the long dresser there was a mirror. There was also a small closet.
She noticed all of this, but what she noticed most was the bed. Like everything else in the room, it was small, but it had light pink sheets with little cherry blossoms all over it. They were the exact one's she had at her old home. There was a small pillow on the bed with the name Sakura embroidered on it.
"Hey Lee!" she called out, startled by the sudden loudness. "Can you come here for a sec?"
"Sure!" he screamed back. Within a few minutes he was walking through the door. "What's up?"
"...Who's Sakura?"
"Oh..." he said, his voice suddenly taking on a very melancholy tone. "Sakura was my older sister. She was 12 years older than me. She died on a ninja mission when I was four. That's why I want to be such a good ninja. I promised her that I would be."
"Oh...I'm so sorry." she replied.
As she was finishing up the conversation in her mind, she heard the door open and people come into the house.
"Sakura! We're home!"
She climbed out of the tub, put on a towel, and silently said to herself, "Yeah...I think I'm home too."
Ok...hope you liked it! R+R!!!
