Chapter 3: A visit and a talk
-
Tenten stomped through Konoha's streets all the way to the hospital. Tenten walked through the hospital to Sakura's room. The nurses yelled at Tenten, but she didn't care. She stood outside of Sakura's door and took a deep breath then opened the door and walked in. Sakura was still looking out the window and didn't see her. Her thoughts were still on Lee. From where Tenten was standing, she could see the sadness in her eyes. Tenten knew she was thinking about Lee. Tenten sighed, which caught Sakura's attention. She smiled at the weapons mistress. She masked up her sadness, even though Tenten already saw it.
"Morning Tenten," Sakura said friendly.
"Morning Sakura," Tenten said in the same tone of voice.
Even though her face was happy, her eyes showed anger and a bit of sadness, but anger took over the sadness in her eyes. Sakura noticed the two feelings, well, mostly the anger. She rose her left eyebrow in confussion. She cocked her head to the left and stared at Tenten.
"Tenten, is something bothering you?" Sakura asked.
Tenten shook her head. She then stared at the wall above Sakura and pictured Lee's face.
"Not so much of a something, but a someone," Tenten replied, a little anger hinted.
Okay, maybe a lot of anger.
"Someone?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah, Lee," Tenten said, seeing Sakura's happy face when she heard Lee's name. "I saw him this morning and the jerk didn't want to come and see you. Stupid jerk."
Sakura's eyes saddened. This wasn't what she wanted to hear. She looked at her hands that were laying on the bed infront of her. Tenten didn't notice the sadness, her anger clouded her eyes. Mentally, she was beating up Lee.
"Does he ... hate me?" Sakura asked.
This snapped Tenten out of her thoughts. She turned to Sakura. Tenten's face quickly turned to a shocked/freaked out face when she saw how depressed Sakura was. She didn't mean to make Sakura so sad. She quickly shook her hands nervously.
"No, no, he still loves you. It's just ... he doesn't want to hurt you," Tenten said.
Sakura's eyes shot up at Tenten.
"Hurt me?" she asked, mostly to herself.
Tenten nodded. Sakura looked at her hands again.
'At least he still loves me,' Sakura thought. 'I think.'
Outside Sakura's door
Little did the two girls know, but Lee was standing outside of Sakura's door. He was leaning against it and wass listening to the two girls since Tenten arrived. He wanted to know she was alright. He wanted to hear her angelic voice. He wanted to run in there and make sure she was alirght, but, he was afraid of hurting her. So he listened to the conversation inside. And it killed him from the inside. Tenten was right, what happened to him?
"Sakura, are you mad at him?" Tenten asked out of nowhere.
Lee looked at the ground.
'Yes,' Lee thought.
"No," Sakura replied.
Lee's eyes shot up at the wall infront of him. This surprised Lee. Maybe Tenten was right, maybe she wasn't mad at him.
"You're not?" Tenten asked, a little surprised.
"No. I'll admit I was a little mad, and sad, that he didn't come and visit me, but I ... but I care about him," Sakura said, blushing lightly.
Lee was still very surprised. Tenten as well.
"Do you ... love him?" Tenten asked.
Sakura looked away. A blush appeared on her face.
"At first, I ... I had a crush on him, ever since he helped me get over Sasuke. But, now ... now I love him," Sakura said.
'I think it began when he left for his mission,' Sakura thought to herself.
Lee's heart stopped when he heard what she said. She ... loves him? Tenten squealed. Tenten smiled and jumped in happiness.
"Oh, how cute," Tenten said like a little child that just got a new toy.
"It would be, if he loved me," Sakura said looking a little shameful.
'Sakura,' Lee thought. 'I do love you.'
"Sakura, didn't you listen to me earlier? He does love you, he just doesn't want to hurt you," Tenten said, a little mad that Sakura ignored her when she said Lee loved her.
Sakura smiled at the weapons mistress.
"Then I'll find him, and show him how strong I've become," Sakura said.
Lee could her two light taps coming from the other side of the door hit the floor, which meant Sakura had put both her feet on the ground. His eyes sadend. Sakura was getting up to find him? Was she really that strong? Or was she weak, and trying to prove she was strong? Tenten placed her hands on her hips and gave Sakura an "I don't think so" look.
"Sakura, you shouldn't get out of bed, you still shouldn't move your legs," Tenten scowlded. "Now get back in bed before you hurt yourself."
Lee looked at the ground. Sakura was hurting herself, and he was the reason.
"Tenten, if I don't tell him, he might hurt himself," Sakura said, before falling down.
He could hear her, falling down. He wanted to run in there and catch her, but his feet and body disobeyed him and stayed still. He hated when that happened. She caught herself before she fully hit the ground though. She sat back on her bed.
"Sakura, be careful, you almost gave me a heart attack," Tenten said, catching her breath.
"Sorry, I'm use to Lee catching me," Sakura said sheepily.
Shadows covered Lee's eyes. His back was leaned against the door. He began to walk away with a blank expression on his face. He's always hurting Sakura. So, there was only one thing to do to stop hurting her. It would hurt him more than Sakura, but he had to do this, or else he would hurt her more. And he didn't want that.
'Sakura, I am sorry,' he thought. 'I know this will hurt you, but I must do this, so I will not hurt you anymore.'
He walked out of the hospital. He turned and looked at the hospital that held his flower.
'I still love you, no matter what,' he thought, before walking to his house.
