Chapter 8: Confessing

Sakura and Lee watched the man take off. Sakura smiled that the man was gone. She looked at Lee but saw that his back was towards her. Her eyes saddened, afraid he might yell or scowled her about being careless. That was the opposite of what he really said.
"Sakura, you might want to put on your clothes," he said, a like blush on his face.
Sakura blushed and remembered she was only waring a towel. She blushed again then ran to the rock and placed her clothes on quickly. She had her back to him but was still blushing uncontrollably. Silence over came the two as Sakura remembered about what she had said earlier. Lee remembered it too.
"Sakura?" he asked suddenly.
Both backs were towards each other. They were either scared or embarrased to look at each other.
"Yes Lee?" she asked.
"Did you ... did you mean what you said earlier?" Lee asked.
Sakura blushed somemore.
"Um ... well. I like you as a best friend," she said, trying to cover up what she said earlier.
"No," he said, now turning to her. "I mean when you talked to Tenten before I left."
Sakura's eyes widened in shock. She turned and faced Lee. His eyes showed sadness and hope.
"Lee, did ... did you come to see me?" she asked.
"I followed Tenten, I wanted to make sure you were alright. Then, I heard you talking to Tenten, about how you ..." he trailed off.
Sakura knew the rest of it and blushed.
"So ... did you mean it?" he asked.
He suddenly felt weight around his waist. He looked down to see Sakura holding him tightly. She looked to be blushing and was crying a little. Lee wipped her tears away. Sakura looked up at him and stared him in the eye. They both were blushing.
"Sakura, please answer me. Did you mean it?" Lee asked softly this time.
"Ye ... yes Lee. I did mean it," she said.
Her head was buried in her chest, crying somemore. Lee didn't understand why she was crying. He rubbed her back, trying to calm her down. He didn't want to see her cry, not over him.
"Sakura, please stop crying. I am not worth crying over," he said.
Sakura's sad mood quickly turned to anger. She sort of glared at him.
"And that's what I hate about you Lee. You're always putting yourself down, yet you hold me with such respect that I don't deserve," Sakura said, tears meeting her eyes again.
"Sakura, do not ever think that again," he said.
She looked back up at him again. Her eyes softened, yet saddened.
"Lee, let me ask you a question now," Sakura said, getting closer to him.
Lee nodded, not noticing how close she was to him.
"Do you still love me?" she asked, her face closer to his.
He blushed a light red. He closed his eyes and smiled though.
"Yes Sakura. I have told you time and time again that I will always love you, and that I can never hate you," he said.
Sakura looked at him and smiled.
"So Lee, if I do this, will you be mad at me?" she asked.
"Sakura, I can never get mad at you," Lee said.
Sakura suddenly kissed him on the lips. He was shocked, but kissed her back. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing harder on his lips. Lee did the same, only he pulled Sakura's waist closer to him and kissed harder. After a while they released. Sakura closed her eyes and laied her head on his chest and Lee closed his eyes and laied his chin on her soft pink hair.
"Lee," she said still lying her head on his chest, "don't ever think that I'll hate you if you hurt me."
Lee's eyes snapped open. He looked down at her and he stared in her eyes.
"Because, I know you would never do it on purpose," she said, starring into his eyes.
"Sakura," he whispered, letting go of her.
Sakura saddened when he took his arms off her.
"Sakura, how can you still love me after I hurt you?" he asked, his eyes closed.
Sakura closed her eyes and brought her hands to her chest.
"The same way you loved me all those times I hurt you," she answered, remembering how hurtful she was towards him. "I'm sorry."
She suddenly felt two strong arms around her waist. She opened her eyes to see Lee. He was smiling at her.
"It is alright Sakura," he said, then kissing her on the lips.
She kissed back, happy that Lee forgived her and still loves her. She threw her arms around his head. They kissed longer before they released for air. There foreheads touched each other. Sakura stared into his eyes and smiled.
"Lee, we should head back to the village," she said.
Lee shook his head, scaring Sakura a little.
"I cannot go back," he said. "Not without defeating someone."
Sakura cocked her head to the side. Who and why did he want to defeat someone?
"Lee, who do you want to defeat?" Sakura asked.
Lee turned away from her and shadows covered his eyes as he looked at the ground before him.
"Sasuke," he said. "I have to defeat him."
Lee suddenly felt someone hold his right arm. He looked to see Sakura starring at the tree before her.
"Then I'll help," she said, looking at him. "He is the reason for the gash and I will make him pay."
Her voice was firm. It also threatened Lee to not stop her. He lowered his eyes a little, afraid for her safety, but nodded. He knew she had gotten stronger, so he wasn't that afraid. Plus, she would kill him if he tried to stop her.
"Plus," she said, snapping him out of his thoughts. "You will need a medic nin to heal you."
Lee nodded. A gust of wind blew past the two. Sakura shivered a bit. Lee wrapped his left arm around her and brought her closer to him. She smiled and laied her head on his shoulder. Suddenly, a kunai flew past Sakura head, ruining their moment. They turned quickly to see who had thrown the kunai and their eyes widened.
