Chapter 7: Hurting
-
Sakura was woken up by the sun. She sat up and stared at it. She turned and saw Lee's back towards her; he was still asleep. Sakura smiled and laied back down on the grass. She moved closer to Lee's body and laied her head on Lee's back. And that made Lee's eyes shot open. He sat up and yelled out in pain. Sakura opened her eyes and stared at the yelling Lee. Her eyes widened when she saw a huge gash on Lee's back. It went down his whole back. How come she didn't notice it before?
"Lee, are you alright?" she asked, concern hinted.
"Ye ... yes," he said.
Sakura quickly opened her backpack and took out some Hydrogen Peroxide and a little cotton ball. She dabbed some Peroxide on the cotton ball.
"Lee, I have to put some Peroxide on your back," Sakura said, getting a nod from Lee. "Now, this may sting a little."
She placced the cotton on the big gash and began to rub it. Lee felt the sting, and it hurt, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he grabbed the Earth below him. Once Sakura was done applying the Peroxide, she took out a roll of white bandage.
"Lee, I need you to lift your arms up. I need to bandage your scar," she said.
He nodded and lifted his arms. Sakura shakily wrapped up the gash. When she was finshed, she placed the bandage in the backpack. She looked at Lee who was staring at the ground. Sakura's eyes saddened. She looked at the ground. Silence over came the two. Sakura looked back at Lee and could see scars on his hands. She moved closer to him.
"Lee, how did you get those scars?" Sakura asked.
Lee quickly looked at her, then at his hands sadily.
"I got these from an ambush," Lee explained.
Sakura's eyes widened.
"Was Sasuke in it?" Sakura asked.
Lee didn't look at her, but nodded. Sakura's eyes saddened.
"That jerk!" she said angrily.
Lee looked at her with a shocked look.
"How dare he hurt you like that!" Sakura said, angrily again.
She almost forgot he was there. His eyes starred at her with more shock, but remembered what she told Tenten. He looked at the ground, shadows covering his eyes. Sakura looked at him. Lee looked up and saw how close Sakura was.
"Here, I'll heal your wounds," Sakura said, her hands glowing green.
She touched his body and his wounds began to heal. After a while Sakura collapsed and fell into Lee's arms. Lee's body reactted and hugged her. Both blushed, but did nothing. Lee didn't push her away, and Sakura didn't move away.
"Sa ... Sakura, are you ... tired?" Lee asked.
"Just a little. I guess I didn't have enough energy," she said.
After a while, Lee helped Sakura sit up again. He then closed his eyes and sighed annoyingly.
"Sakura, you should not have waisted your chakra on me," he scowlded.
She was a little taken back and looked away from him. A tear slowly rolled dow her cheek.
"I'm ... sorry," she said weakly/sadily.
Lee lightened up a bit and wiped the tear away. His touch was warm.
"Sakura, please, do not cry," he said, concern hinted.
She smiled a little. Lee suddenly stood up.
"Sakura, if you wish you may relax in the lake," he said.
"Do you want to join me?" Sakura asked, a little hopeful.
Lee had a light blush that Sakura didn't see.
"No, I will get some wood," Lee said, taking off.
Sakura frowned a little. She looked through her bag and found a towel. She walked over to the side of the lake and took her clothes off. She placed her clothes and her towel on the rock near her. She got in the lake, and was surprised to see that it was warm. She turned around and tried to see if Lee was there peeping, but couldn't see or sense him. She frowned and then closed her eyes and relaxed. She was thinking about how to get Lee to return to Konoha with her.
Little did she know, but someone was behind a tree watching her. He slowly moved towards her. He had an evil grin on his face. He slowly neared. Sakura suddenly felt someone grab her shoulder and pull her out of the water. She looked to see a man in a mask. Sakura screamed as loud as she could. The man placed a hand over her mouth.
"Be quiet and I will go easy," he whispered evilly in her ear.
Her eyes widened in fright and struggled to get away from him. If she didn't she would be in trouble.
"Let. Her. Go!" a voice said from behind the masked man.
He turned to see Lee. He was glaring at the man. The man didn't let go off Sakura.
"And what will you do about it?" he asked.
He moved his head closer to Sakura's. He was going to try and kiss her on the lips, but he was suddenly thrown away. Lee had grabbed him by his collar and thrown him. Sakura quickly grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body. She looked up and met Lee's back. He had an angry look on his face. He had a kunai in his hand. The man got up and glared at him.
"So, who are you, her boyfriend?" he asked angrily.
Lee and Sakura blushed, but Lee's was noticeable. Shadows then covered his eyes. How should he answer. He wasn't her boyfriend. Was he her friend at all? Lee then shook his head. He then looked up at the intrudor who tried to hurt Sakura.
"No, I am just her protector," Lee said.
Sakura felt her heart fall. Was that all he was to her? That's right, she never did tell him she loved him. The man laughed.
"So, this girls means nothing to you?" the man asked.
Sakura stared at Lee, afraid of his answer. Lee looked up at the man.
"Why do you want to know?" he asked cleverly.
"So then, she means nothing to you?" the man asked.
Shadows covered Lee's eyes again.
"She ... she is the world to me," he said, nearly forgetting Sakura was behind him. "And I will not let you hurt her!"
He ran at the man and kicked him in the head. The man blocked. Lee did a quick kick and got the man in the stomach. The man hit the tree behind him. Lee then kicked the guy in the air. The man was quick though. Before Lee could continue kicking him in the air, the man kicked Lee down to Earth.
"LEE!" Sakura yelled.
Before the man could throw kunais at Lee, Sakura through a kunai at the man, pinning him to a tree. She then ran over to Lee. She kneeled beside him as Lee slowly got up. The man ripped out the kunai and landed near Lee and Sakura. Sakura got up and stood in between Lee and the man. She outstretched her arms, protecting Lee from the man.
(AN: She is wearing the towel around her whole body still)
"Sakura, move!" Lee said.
Sakura didn't listen. She continued to glare at the man.
"Sakura, what are you doing?" Lee asked as he slowly came to his feet.
"Protecting you, just like you do for me," she said.
Lee's eyes widened. The man started to chuckle.
"Oh? And why would you do that?" the man asked, getting closer to her.
Sakura didn't show fear.
"Because, I care about him," she said, turning to look at Lee, "more than a friend."
Lee's eyes widened a bit, but again, remembered the conversation with Tenten Sakura had.
"Sakura," he whispered.
The man chuckled some more. Lee then quickly kicked the man, sending him back a couple feet. The man saw that he couldn't defeat Lee so he ran away. He hid behind a tree and poofed. In his place was Naruto. Naruto had disguised himself and decided to help Sakura reveal her feelings to Lee.
''Well, I better get beck to Konoha before Tsunade kills me,' Naruto thought.
He took off.
'Good luck Sakura,' he thought.
