Sadly this is not the last chapter- it is short (by my standards) but i want to write shorter stuff. Anyway.. i started school on Monday and i decided HEY I WANNA WRITE SOMETHING! so i did. i'm going top stop predicting when the last chapter will be cause right now it'll be like chapter a million because it won't finish- but i didn't want to stay up to 1:00 am writing a 4000 chapter so yeah i found a good place to stop.

DISCLAIMER: And no this does not mean I'm dissing the claimer (lolololol).. that wasn't funny i'm sorry- I DON'T OWN NARTUO!!!!!!

I watched as Lee started to open the first gate. The area around him started to surge with power as he opened more and more gates. I had to shield my eyes and was nearly knocked backwards when the swirling green chakra began. Lee's face was red and his eyes alight with passion. Then an ear splitting sound reached me. It was Lee's fist connecting with the wall. My eyes instantly shut and I felt Sasuke's arms wrap around me. Then I heard various crumbling then silence. I opened my eyes and turned out of Sasuke's embrace. There was a large hole in the door- and Lee lay in it. Sasuke rushed over and pulled him out of the hole turning him over onto his back.

"I'll go take a look down the hallway," Sasuke said in a monotone voice and then left through the hole.

"Lee?" I asked sitting down next to him and taking the fallen ninja's hand.

"Sa.. kura," Lee struggled with my name and held his eyelids have open and looked start into my scared green eyes.

"Thank you Lee," My voice cracked with tears as one ran down my cheek.

"Come.. closer," He said in between breaths. I leaned in, brushing a stray hair from his face. "Just.. one?"

Although the question was vague I knew what he wanted. I drew back and nodded, then I leaned in and pressed my lips softly on his.

"Thank.. you.. Sakura-ch.. an," He said smiling tiredly, then his eyes slid closed, his head fell to the side and his hold on my hand went limp.

One of the most trustworthy, brave, and loving people I had ever met just died right in front of me but I still had to get up and help Konoha. After all that's what Lee died for, if I stayed here and mourned I would disgrace his death.

Reluctantly, I got up brushing a tear away and climbed through the hole in the door forcing my self to face forward and not look back.

I found Sasuke a little down the corridor, messing with something on the ground.

"What are you doing?" I asked in a whisper as I walked up next to him. He continued with his work, stripping the weapons of an unconscious ninja. Sasuke stood up passing a kunai to me and taking one for himself.

"Alright, let's go," He said quietly and began inching around the corner.

"Where are we going?" I asked whispering in his ear when I stopped behind him.

"We're going to assassinate Danzo," He said over his shoulder. I nodded and followed him. So many people I would have to see dead, good or bad- there's only so much one person can take. Sasuke could take so much of something, the grief of a passed loved one, or just physical pain. That's one of the things I admired him for, it's also one of the things I watch out for just incase he pushes himself to far- like…. like Lee did.

Eventually we spotted and entrance to a short hallway, which held at least four ninja in the door way- one, I thought, looked familiar. Sasuke stopped.

"I thought I took care of you a long time ago!" Sasuek shouted out. I grabbed his shoulder thinking he was crazy, but then I remembered.

The one nearest to us I did know, but it just wasn't the most pleasant of memories. He had dusty blonde hair, crimson eyes, and was at the very least six feet tall. The man I ran into in one of the many alleyways of Konoha. The one who seemed to suck the chakra right out of my body- the one who still seeped into my nightmares every once and a while.

My fingers dug harder into Sasuke's shirt.

"I bet you remember him to," He said in a normal voice to me.

"Of course!" I said terrified. Sasuke walked forward as the ninjas in the entry pulled out weapons and aimed at him. He left me in the corner to afraid to move- NO! Lee did not die so I could huddled scared and afraid in the corner- I'm going to help!

I walked out and stood next to Sasuke who didn't seem anyway phased by my behavior.

"Alright! My business is with this one," My voice said without the consent of my brain. The same unusual power lifting my arm and pointing at the man who had attacked me. "However- I can't say the same for this one."

I nodded to Sasuke who pulled out a kunai.

"So- shall we do this?"

So yeah i needed Sakura top man up a bit since Lee is gone (i really like Lee -sobs-) anyway if this made you cry (which i don't believe it did) please review because i want you to cry lol
