♥Chapter10: ♥ Back To Normal
The sun shined through the windows and shined on Sakura's face, her eyes opened up slowly and she smiled. Finally, things were back to normal, Sasuke was out of the picture once again, and her friends were recovering quickly. The thought that was haunting her was, why did he come back? Was it for a specific reason? She had to find out, she quickly got her t-shirt and jeans on and was on her way. Sakura was walking by a park and started to blush and smile, her first date with her beloved Lee, sometimes she wondered what he saw in her, she's weird, hyper, and says random things out loud when he wasn't around. But then again, Lee loved her for her, no matter how weird he was sometimes, and she loved him for no matter how he acted. Their love was unbreakable; nothing can get in their way.

...Flash Back...

"Oh my gosh Lee! I'm so sorry we couldn't go somewhere else for our date!"Sakura hid her face from him and pouted. He smiled and removed the hair hiding her face by moving her hair behind her ear.
"It's alright, as long as we're together, I'm happy." She looked into his dark eyes and smiled. She leaned her head on his shoulder and began to have a conversation about the things going on in their lives. Sakura moved her hand closer to his and soon enough, held his hand. Sakura had no idea what the time was so she checked her watch and noticed that she was expected in 5 minutes!
"Oh Gosh! I Have To Go!! I'm Sorry! My mom is expecting me at home in 5 minutes! I'll get in trouble if I come home late!" She quickly got her bag and started to walk towards home " C'mon Lee!" She called out. He ran after her and intertwined his fingers with hers. As they walked towards her house, her heartbeat went faster and faster, she didn't want to leave him. They arrived in front of her house and she starred at the door as if it was the door to hell, she had such a great time with him, why did it have to end?
"I had a great time with you today Lee, i hope we can does this again" A light blush went across her face and she hugged him. They pulled away from the hug and smiled at each other. Just as Sakura was going to say the 3 most loving words in the world, Lee gave her a sweet kiss. She put her arms around his neck and to pull him closer as he wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her closer to him. With the sunset behind them, the scene looks almost too beautiful to imagine.

...End Of Flashback...

Sakura
snapped out of the daydream she had and continued to walk to
Tsunades' office. She arrived in front of the building wondering if
it's best to know, or to just leave it be. Sakura sighed and walked
into the building knowing that Sasuke is there but in the maximum
prison cell. She walked up to her door and knocked lightly."
Come in, Neji we'll talk about this later" Sakura walked in
slowly and saw Neji who hasn't been talking to her or the others in
years. Apparently he was training with his family. She took one look
at him and was surprised, he had cut his hair, he wore baggy jeans
and a t-shirt, he had changed so much than she had remembered.
"Heey..." Sakura couldn't believe it was Neji, it's been so
long and he's changed so much. "Hi" He looked at her and
smiled "Long time no see i guess" He scratched his head and
looked at Tsunade then at Sakura " Well, I'll see you around,"
and he left the room. "Wow, that was uncomfortable wasn't it?"
Tsunade chuckled at the thought of it." Yeah, it was, i guess
it's cause' we haven't seen him in a while." Sakura shrugged and
sat down in the chair in front of Tsunade." So why did you come
to see me today Sakura?" Tsunade crossed her arms and stared at
Sakura. "Well, i want to know why Sasuke came back to the
village," she sighed and looked down," There has to be a
reason why" Tsunade bit her lip and replied" Sakura, he's
been asking to see you since he's been here, we've been trying to get
the truth but he only wants to talk to you, if you like, I'll take
him to you" Sakura hesitated to answer but nodded and followed
Tsunade to the chamber. While walking, her hands were forming in to a
fist ready to yell at Sasuke for hurting her friends. Tsunade opened
the doors to a large dark room with no windows but a small opening in
the door for light. The large door closed behind her and was able to
see a dark figure sitting on the floors with his legs spread out. He
heard him smirk and lifted his head up to see her, Sakura could see
his dark eyes staring at her." Why..." she looked at him with
pure hate and anger. Sasuke stood up and walked over to Sakura."
Because, I need you to be with me" Sakura had an expression of
disgust in her face and backed away from him. "What the
hell...You're too late, i gave you my love before but you didn't
accept it! Now...now, I love Lee, and I always will love him."
Sakura frowned and the stupid words that came out of his mouth, all
of the bad memories that they had, it was no use to even acknowledge
him. He shook his head in disbelief," hah, you really love that
sad excuse for a ninja? Your loss, we could've had something,
something better than anything you had with him" Sakura walked
up to him and slapped that grin off of his face; he looked into her
eyes and grinned again. She walked out of the room and thanked
Tsunade for letting her in. On her way home, she was furious with
what Sasuke had said to her, she had to see Lee, he knew what to do
to make her feel better. She arrived to Lee's door and knocked
multiple times waiting for him to answer. He answered the door and
smiled at his one and only Sakura. "Hey Sa--" before he
could finish speaking Sakura landed a kiss on him. She was so
relieved to see Lee after that horrible encounter with Sasuke. She
broke the kiss and smiled at him, he smiled back at her and kissed
her forehead. "Err, oh yeah, guess who's in the living room,
he's an old friend" Lee led her to the living; Sakura wondered
who it was, until she saw the back of the visitor and knew it was
Neji. " Hey Neji, nice to see you again" He turned around
and replied "Yeah, twice in the same day" Lee was confused,
"Oh so I see you met before?" Sakura giggled at the cute
expression Lee had, "Yeah at Tsunade's office," Neji nodded
and sat down on the couch. Lee and Sakura walked over and sat on the
couch as well. "So i see you FINALLY cut off the girly hair eh?"
Lee laughed as he pulled his hair. Sakura giggled and looked over at
Neji as he sweat dropped and gave Lee and evil look of hate. Sakura
could never understand their friendship, they would always argue,
even have fights but then minutes later, they act as if nothing
happened. One time she did ask them, and they just shrugged and got
back to their conversation. " I see you changed your stupid bowl
cut and jumpsuit" Neji smirked while pointing and laughing, this
time it was Lee giving Neji an evil eye then punched Neji in the
head. Soon enough, they started a little fight; Sakura stood up and
left to the balcony. She loved the view from Lee's Balcony, it was
beautiful, and being able to see the sunset over the ocean was one of
the best things to watch. " Well, it was fun seeing you guys
again, I'm going to check up on Tenten in the hospital, see you"
Neji waved and let himself out of Lee's apartment. Sakura heard the
door close but continued to watch the sunset, with her arms on the
railing; she rested her head on her hands and sighed. She felt two
strong arms wrap around her waist and a light blush appeared across
her face.
...On The Way To The Hospital...
Neji was walking thinking of the memories he has had here before he left to train. He heard a noise behind the trees and assumed it was an animal or something. He got to the hospital and saw ANBU members running out of the door talking about Kabuto roaming around the village. Neji thought to himself, that must have been the noises in the trees.. he hurried into the hospital and saw Tenten, Haku, and Kairi awake and talking. "Um Hi," Neji was confused to see two other unfamiliar faces. He waved and smiled; Tenten was amazed to see the new looks Neji had. " NEJI! IS THT YOU!? OH MY GOD YOU CHANGED! " Her eyes widen and she fell back into her bed. " Yeah.. Right. You haven't changed at all" Neji chuckled and looked at the expression on her face. "Oh yeah, Kairi, this is Neji, Neji, Kairi, Kairi, Neji, Neji this is Haku, Haku, Neji, Neji, Haku" Neji raised his eyebrow at Tenten and greeted the other two girls. "Hi" the girl replied with a smile on their faces.
...Back At Lee's Apartment...
Sakura turned to see Lee behind her, with his strong arms behind her, she felt safe. She looked into his dark eyes and softly kissed him on the lips. Lee rested his forehead against her and smiled." I love you, Lee" she smiled and a light blush came across her face." I love you too, Sakura" He rose to lightly to rub the side of her cheek and brought her into a kiss. With what was left of the sun, the light shined on their faces and reminded her of their first date.
