Droplets began to fall from the sky by the time the betrothed couple stepped out of the dojo. Sakura opened up her umbrella and held it over them as they walked. With shoulders brushing against each other, it had to be one of the hardest things either of them had done.

Sakura had no idea where they were going and Lee was exactly going to reveal it until they got there. He would coax her in the right direction by leaning into her side of pulling away briefly depending on which direction they needed to take.

After a few minutes of doing this, Lee realized that maybe he should hold Sakura's hand. It was right there after all, holding the umbrella handle between them.

Wait... Sakura was holding the umbrella. What a grave mistake he was making! A gentleman should be the one holding onto it. Lee lifted his hand to try and take over but the threat speeding cyclist running over a puddle and splashing water made him leap up into her arms.

Now Sakura was carrying both the umbrella and him. At this rate, Sakura was going to be the husband in their relationship. The ease of which she was able to hold him up was embarrassing.

Sakura didn't seem to mind, though. She was laughing. "Nice reflexes," she pointed out. It was hard to tell if she was making fun of him. But there she was, giggling with him in her arms, cheeks tickled pink.

Lee let himself down, ears red with embarrassment. "I am sorry," he apologized. "I do not want to be a squirrel today."

"I have carried you around as a squirrel plenty of times, so it doesn't make much of a difference to me." Sakura smiled.

"Then... Can I sleep in your bed like K-Chan?" Lee asked all too hopefully.

Sakura gently elbowed him. "Don't push it."

Lee hung his head. "A man could dream."

Finally, Sakura was able to learn where Lee had planned on taking her. The location started to seem familiar to her and when they had arrived, her suspicions were confirmed.

Lee had taken her to a cafe where her favorite dessert was served, anmitsu. Face flushed, Sakura turned to look at Lee. "How did you know?"

"I may have asked around..."

"It was Hinata, wasn't it?"

"... Yes."

Sakura laughed to herself as the two headed inside, seemingly oblivious that they were being followed. At this point, the rain had let up.

A familiar figure hid behind a small slab of wall, peering into the large cafe window. "I won't let you do anything to Sakura, Bushy Brows..." Naruto watched them take their seats in front of him. Two other figures flanked his sides.

"There's no way I'm letting you ruin this for Sakura." That was Ino.

"H-hello Naruto," That was Hinata.

Figuring that he has got caught, Naruto sulked. "Aw man, how did you know?"

"A-actually," stuttered Hinata, "we didn't. We just happened to be following them too."

"That's rather unfortunate," came a new voice from behind them. They all turned to see that it was Sasuke, looking as serious as ever, even if it was silly of him to spy on the girl he liked.

Ino faced palmed. "You too, Sasuke?"

Sasuke nodded. "If this date goes poorly, I'll be there for Sakura."

Naruto curled his hands into fists. "That was my idea!"

"Hi everyone." Yet another soul graced everyone's presence and this time it was Tenten.

"Let me guess," said Ino, "you're here to comfort Lee if this date ends up bad?"

Tenten feigned surprise in her expression. "How did you know?"

"Everybody shut up, they just got their food," came a new voice. The children turned around to see that it was Guy who joined up with Kakashi. The two men came along to make sure that Lee didn't screw this up somehow. Sakura too, but they weren't too worried about her.

The sizeable crowd outside of the cafe had gone from inconspicuous to hard to ignore. However, the couple inside continued to keep their eyes on one another.

"Should we tell them that we know that they are here...?" Lee had asked Sakura. He tried very hard not to have his eyes dart at the window.

Sakura shrugged. "I say let them keep looking ridiculous. Hey, I've got an idea. Lean in for a second—" She began whispering in Lee's ear, relaying her plan to him. He'd nod once or twice, but it was unclear to their stalkers just what was being said.

The two finished up their meals and stepped out of the cafe, prompting the crowd to disperse and hide in different spots.

"What do you want to do now, Lee?" Sakura asked very loudly.

"Well I was thinking that we should book a hotel," Lee responded, just as loud. While Sakura sounded more casual, he sounded more robotic. "A love hotel."

From where he hid, Sasuke shook with pure rage. "I'm going to kill him..." The thought Sakura being deflowered by such a fool, blinded him with fury. Beside him was Naruto who was equally angry, except that his nosebleed gave his true feelings away.

From his hiding spot, Kakashi was roused to do something but he was held back by Guy. "Wait!" Said Guy, "This is what we want!"

"But they're so young!" Kakashi countered.

The young couple carried on with their act. "Oh Lee," Sakura had said, draping her forearm across her forehead, "let's go do it."

Lee chuckled. "I am not one to deny my lady of what she wants."

Guy couldn't restrain Kakashi anymore nor did Sasuke or Naruto contain themselves from interfering. All three jumped out of their hiding spots to confront the two.

"Sakura. You mustn't do this, please reconsider." It was the closest Sasuke was ever going to get to begging. He couldn't bear the thought.

"Y-yeah! What he said!" Naruto wiped his bloody nose with the back of his hand.

Kakashi was sobbing, "I'm such a bad father!"

Sakura crossed her arms. "The rest of you can come out now."

Ino, Hinata, and Tenten all filed out one by one.

"Guy Sensei," Lee added. "I know you are here as well."

Guy never revealed himself, at least not in his human form. In the few seconds it took for everyone else to get caught, he had drenched himself in water to turn himself into a tortoise.

Sakura shook her head at them. "You've all got to be ashamed of yourselves. Following us, really?"

"So..." Naruto scratched the back of his head, "You're not gonna do it with Bushy Brows?"

"No!" Sakura shouted. "I'm never doing anything like that? Are you crazy? That was just an act to get you all to come out of hiding."

Lee's face was flushed as his expression turned more worrisome. "Wait... Never?"

"Lee!"

"I apologize."

Scoffing, Sakura grabbed Lee by the hand and stormed off with him.

"I think we messed up," Kakashi noted, earning a glare from Ino.

"You think?"
