A MISCONCEPTION OF BROTHERLY LOVE

"And so my dear comrades," Naruto started and looked at his friends with a slight grin on his face "I need to know what you have collected" he waited for a response

"I don't get what you're saying!" Lee said with a confused look on his face, Naruto sighed and turned his head to the pale-complexioned boy at his right and gave him a 'I'm-sick-of-explaining' and a 'you-be-the-one' look.

Neji, who understood the said looks, nodded his head and turned to Lee "What he means is that, he wants to know what's the outcome of our observations" said Neji "Ohhh..." Lee said in half realization "but, what were we supposed to dig dirt on?" Lee added, things still not clear to him.

Naruto groaned, the only thing that really bothered him right now is that, how their friend is not aware of the whole 'observation thing' and even possibly why they were meeting up in the first place. Naruto exhaled through his mouth to calm himself a bit the proceeded to explain the basic thiings to Lee.

"You know my dear friend..., IT WOULDN'T BE CONFUSING IF YOU PAID ATTENTION TO ME LAST WEEK!" Naruto couldn't keep his cool and yelled the last part in Lee's ear; Lee winced as the blonde's voice hollered through his ear "You didn't have to yell!" Lee said in a raised voice , due to the fact that he couldn't hear well now "WELL, IF YOU ONLY HAD LISTENED TO ME, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN YELLED AT!" Naruto shot a glare at Lee "WHAT WERE YOU DOING WHEN I DISCUSSED IT WITH THE GROUP!?!"

Lee's FLASHBACK~-~-~-~-(in Lee's own world: his thoughts)~-~-~-

'Sakura, if only you know how i truly feel about you..., As you contemplate my feelings toward you, I'll recite a poem for you, which was made by the one and only Lee! me!

Here I am, in this field,
Awaiting your arrival, my sweet Cherry Blossom.
My longing can't be kept no longer,
I need you,
Right here,
Right now.
Thinking that I wouldn't be so selfish
For wanting you all to myself.
I can't help but feel like this.
For what I feel is truly a bliss.

"Oii Lee!" Naruto called out to Lee, causing him to blink back into reality "Huh?" Lee said, dazed "Did you understand everything I said?" Naruto questioned him "Uhhh...yeah" he said, even though he didn't understand a thing

End of FLASHBACK~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

"Ummm..., I was...I was..., uh...thinking of...the Sakura Blossoms! Yeah that's right! The Sakura Blossoms! I was wondering how they would look like with Lotuses. Hehe" Lee said, grinning and scratching the back of his head, saying things partly true wasn't really his strong point.

Naruto and Neji exchanged glances, raised on of their brows and thought the same thought 'Haruno Sakura'

At The Ichiraku Ramen Bar...

"Cough cough" Sakura choked on some of her ramen "Here, drink this Sakura" said a low but calm voice. Sakura took the glass of water that was being offered to her "Gulg gulg gulg gulg" Sakura drank all of the water "Thanks, Itachi" Sakura said in acknowledgment. Itachi smiled, "No problem" Itachi assured her. "Are you alright now Sakura?" said a concerned voice "Yeah, I'm okay now Sasuke" Sakura said "You sure?" Sasuke asked again, just to make sure "Yes, Sasuke. I am now" Sakura justified "Okay" Sasuke said, nodding his head before returning to his seat beside Itachi.

Back To The Discussion At Hand...

Naruto's knowing look quickly disappeared and turned into attack mode. Naruto balled his fist, ready to punch the living daylights out of Lee any minute now.

Neji, being the only calm person left, cut them off before things could get any worse, "Okay now guys, where were we?" Neji asked them, as they were glaring daggers at him which weren't really meant for him. After a moment, their anger slowly disappeared "Returning to the matter, who have we found out was, either: a pervert, tomboy, gay, egoistic, sexist, pedophile, or just plain weird" Neji stated as the two boys finally calmed down.
