A/N: I know, so far there hasn't been much SakuLee going on. But your patience will be rewarded, I can guarantee it!

Sakura Goes Camping

Chapter 2

At first Sakura wondered where she was. Then yesterday's memories flooded throughout her mind. Sakura sat up suddenly and winced. Her leg had grown stiff and it hurt to move. The smell of pancakes tickled her nose as she tried to stand up. Lee walked in carrying a tray of pancakes, eggs, toast, and orange juice.

"You can lay back down Sakura. Today you're going to eat breakfast in bed." Lee gently pushed Sakura back down and sat the tray in her lap.

"Eat up." Lee told her. A dusty TV was sitting in the corner of the room.

"Lee, do you get electricity out here? Or cable?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, my dad hooked up some solar powered wires and stuff. Why?" Lee blew some dust off of the TV screen. After messing around with it for a minute or two Lee was able to turn it on.

"It would be nice to keep up with the world. Let's watch the news." Sakura stated. Lee thought that idea was wonderful. So he sat beside Sakura and they watched the news together.

"And in other news, a local family has been torn apart. Here we are, live at the Haruno residence." The news lady said. Sakura dropped her fork and stared. There was her house. And it was mostly burnt to the ground.

"There is no sign of any bodies. Eyewitnesses report they did in fact see Mr. Kyle Haruno and Mrs. Suki Haruno earlier yesterday morning. Their daughter, Sakura Haruno, is no where to be seen. I have with me one of Sakura's friends. Miss, what would you like to say?" The camera switched to a girl with blonde hair.

"Hello world. I'm Ino, one of Sakura's dearest friends. And I just want to say that Sakura, If you can see us right now, me, Hinata, Temari, and TenTen are here for you!" Ino then started crying and the news lady came back on.

"Authorities think this is a gang-related crime and urge anyone who knows where the Haruno's are to please come forward. Back to you Tim." The news lady finished her report and Lee turned the TV off. An awkward silence filtered between them.

"Sakura?" Lee's voice was soft and comforting. Sakura burst into tears. Lee pulled Sakura closer to him and she cried on his shoulder.

"They knew somebody was after us, that's why they wanted me to leave!" Sakura sobbed.

'Where are my parents?' Sakura rubbed her red eyes.

"Sakura, this is what happened when my family was attacked by the Mafia…" Lee hated to say it, but Sakura had a right to know.

"The…Mafia? The Mafia are the ones who did this?" Sakura felt hollow inside.

"It would appear so." Lee watched as Sakura trembled.

"I'm going to find them and save my family." Sakura stood up. It hurt, but she limped towards the door anyway.

"Sakura, wait!" Lee jumped up and held onto her arm.

"I know Lee. It's dangerous, I shouldn't do it, just skip the lecture." Sakura didn't mean to sound snappish. Lee however, smiled.

"Yeah, your probably right about the danger and everything. So I'm coming with you." That wasn't what Sakura had expected to hear.

"I can tell you are surprised. They ruined my life and I won't let them ruin yours. Besides, I have inside information." Lee watched as Sakura smiled.

"Alright. From now on you are my partner in crime." Sakura held out her hand and Lee shook it.

"But there is one problem. You and I have to go undercover. So that means new identities." Lee nodded towards a closet. Inside were boxes stuffed with clothes.

"My parents used their old clothes for wash rags and stuff." Lee said over his shoulder as he pulled the boxes out. They had fun trying on the different clothes. Sakura decided to wear a light blue sweatshirt and a pair of old, faded blue jeans. Lee went with a pair of baggy shorts and a basketball jersey. They both pulled on gray tennis shoes.

"Now we need aliases." Sakura thought for a minute.

"I think I'll be called….Emiko Hana." It took Lee a little while before he could come up with a name.

"How about Kei Hana? We can be siblings." Sakura agreed.

"Remember Emiko, it is important that you heal your leg. Then we will begin Operation: Destroy Mafia Scum! Or, O.D.M.S." Lee, or Kei, thought the name sounded cool and Sakura didn't argue.

"Hey, somebody might notice you Sakura! We have to change your looks." Lee pulled out some hair dye and scissors. Sakura clutched her long pink hair. Slowly Lee walked up to her, and Sakura felt nothing but dread.

For the next two weeks Lee forced Sakura to stay in bed. She was only allowed to get up to use the bathroom, and even then Lee insisted that he carry her. Sakura was starting to get the feeling Lee liked her. When she complimented on how clean his cabin is, his face burned brighter then the sun. Maybe she was just imagining it. Anyway, after those two long weeks Sakura's leg was finally healed. It felt good to run and jump again.

"So, how do you feel?" Lee asked Sakura one morning.

"Lee, I could fly if I wanted!" Sakura replied. She stood up and twirled in a circle.

"And it's all thanks to you!" Sakura hugged Lee tightly. His face was red again, and he stuttered

"W-Why thank you Sakura!" Sakura let go and added,

"I guess now that we're siblings we shouldn't do that."

"Yeah, good point." Lee felt sad about that, but pushed the thought away.

'Right now we need to focus on saving Sakura's parents. I need to give this situation my fullest attention. I won't rest until we save her family. Perhaps by then Sakura will love me back….' Lee's face was blank.

"Lee?" Sakura snapped her fingers in front of his face.

"Wha- Oh, yes. You are right." So with that said the two teens packed their bags. The plan was to blend in with the new street kids. Then, get into the Mafia. Like an inside spy. In order to do that, Sakura thought it would be best for them to live on the streets for awhile. So they packed a change of clothes and some food. That's it. Then they started the two-hour walk. Sakura felt an urge to run home.

'I don't have a home anymore.' Sakura reminded herself bitterly. They kept to the sides of the streets and avoided everyone's eyes. The evening was approaching. Lee doubted anyone would recognize the new Sakura. She had short, black hair with red streaks going through it. Lee was able to find a pair of contact lenses so Sakura's eyes were black, like Lee's. Sakura felt her heart leap as they walked down the crowded streets. A group of depressed girls were walking towards them. And those girls happened to be Sakura's best friends. Ino, Hinata, TenTen, and Temari all walked past. They backed away to avoid Sakura and Lee. Sakura heard TenTen mutter

"Street kids." Before the girls walked away. Lee took notice of Sakura's sudden misery.

"Those your friends?" Lee asked. Sakura nodded.

"Well, let's just go and find a nice dark alleyway to sleep in…." Lee tried to be funny, but Sakura wasn't in a laughing mood.

A/N: Well that was chapter 2. Do you like the new names I picked out for Sakura and Lee? They are real Japanese names. Emiko is smiling child, Hana is flower, and Kei is respectful.
