Chapter 6: Finding
-
It was 7:00 am. Konoha was silent and the sun was barly climbing over the mountains. Sakura was walking out of the hospital. Outside were her bodyguards, waiting for her to come out. They were suppose to leave 4 hours earlier, but the nurses wouldn't allow it. So, the five walked to the gates. Sakura had her medicine and some medical kit. Sakura's mind was on Lee, that she didn't even notice that the others had passed the gates and were know taking off. It took the four boys 2 minutes before they realized Sakura wasn't with them. They turned back to see Sakura still walking. She was in deep thought about Lee.
'Man, she must really miss him,' Naruto thought.
He went back to get Sakura. He jumped and stopped next to her.
"Sakura, Sakura," Naruto said.
Sakura was still thinking about Lee and didn't notice him.
"Sakura!" Naruto yelled.
She jumped and looked at him.
"Oh, sorry Naruto," she said sadily.
"Sakura, come on. You have to keep your mind on the mission. Now come on, we need to go," Naruto said, taking off.
Sakura followed after him. They stopped at 5 miles. Neji turned to the sad girl.
"Okay Sakura now listen up. Once you find Lee, try to convince him to come back to Konoha, at all costs. Now be careful, we don't know if you will get attack by other ninjas, so keep your guard up and stay alert. Got it?" Neji asked.
Sakrua nodded.
"Okay, we have to leave," Neji said. "Oh, also."
Neji turned to the pink haired girl and gave her a scary look.
"Keep your emotions in check," he said before taking off.
The other boys took off, leaving Sakura all alone. She stood their for a minute before taking off again. She jumped from tree to tree. Her eyes traveled everywhere she went. She kept her eyes out for Lee. She was so distracted by her thoughts, that she didn't even notice that she had jumped on a weak branch. She landed on it, and it broke under her feet. She fell towards Earth. One name and one person ran through her mind, so it was the first thing she said. And she was also hoping he was listening.
"LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura yelled as loud as she could.
She continued to fall at a fast rate. It looked as though she was going to hit Earth, when something caught her. She opened her left eye and was met with a bare muscluiar chest. She looked up at the face and saw two huge eyebrows. Her eyes widened and she smiled.
"Lee!" she said happily, throwing her arms around his neck.
She nuzzled her face into his bare chest, blushing lightly. Lee didn't look down at her. He stopped at a lake and sat her down. She looked up at him, but his eyes were focused on the lake. Sakura stared up at him sadily. Did he hate her? Why wouldn't he look at her? She stared at the lake and her eyes sadened. Using the lake's reflection, she looked at his eyes, and saw sadness.
"Lee ... thank you," she said slowly. "You know, for saving me."
"Why did you come?" he asked.
His voice wan't harsh. He was being blunt. Sakura stared at him. She then looked back at the lake.
"I ... I came to bring you back to Konoha," she said, her voice still soft.
"Sakura, I cannot go back," he said, calmly and softly.
"Why not?" Sakura asked, her voice rising a bit, but sadness was hinted.
"Because Sakura, I am afraid that I might hurt you or my friends," Lee said.
He clenched his fists tightly. Sakura backed up a bit and stared at him. He looked as though he would brake down and fall on his knees, and he did. The pressure was too much. He fell to his knees and held his head. He didn't cry though. He had to be strong.
"I do not wish for any of my friends to get hurt, espically you Sakura," Lee said.
Sakura was surprised at his actions. She felt bad for the poor boy, considering it was sort of her fault. She moved closer to him and hugged him. She laied her head on his shoulder and she whispered comforting words into his ear. After a few minutes of her trying to comfort him, she moved her head close to his head. She looked in his eyes, even though they were closed. Her eyes then met his lips. She was so close to them, she could have stolen a kiss, but she didn't, and she didn't know why.
Lee's eyes were shut closed. He wanted to reopen them and see that Sakura was gone. He didn't want to hurt her, not again, but. But he wanted to be touched by her. He didn't try to shove her off. He didn't block out the words she was saying to him. He wanted her to be with him, but he didn't. He hated his heart and his mind. Why were they making him feel so much pain? Why couldn't he make up his mind? Did he want Sakura to be near him or not?
Night soon came and Sakura had fallen asleep on his shoulder. Lee opened his eyes and stared at her. Even though, his mind said he didn't want her here, his heart wanted her. His heart wanted her near him, so he could protect her. Lee continued to stare at his cherry blossom. He stood up with Sakura protectivly in his arms. He walked over to the nearest tree and laied down with Sakura still in his arms. He fell asleep, with his head close to her head.
'Sakura, I do not want to hurt you, but I want you near me,' he thought.
His eyes, though closed, clenched harder. He drew her body nearer to his.
'Sakura, I want you to stay with me,' he thought, before drifting to sleep.
