The Wrong Shade of
Green

�� Soft, sweet, bliss. Every muscle in her body was relaxed and
pleasantly warm. She felt like she was in a bed of feathers, and for all she
cared that was just fine. However, it seemed the world cared that one Haruno Sakura was trying to sleep away her day in her all
too comfortable bed. The sunlight poured into the little room through the open
window was just at the right height in the sky to hit the kunoichi�s
eyes.

�� Wincing at
the sudden and bright intrusion, Sakura turned over and slowly opened her eyes.
She laid there for a bit before lifting herself up, scanning her room for a
moment.

�� Today�
is�Saturday.��

A half smile spread across her face
and she fell back with a �plump� into her bed. She gazed at the ceiling for a
while, feeling rather calm and lucid, and totally at peace for the moment.

�No wonder Kakashi-San
was always so late�� She chuckled to herself.

After letting herself just be, Sakura�s mind began to start up its
logical sense. Last night she and a good population portion of ninja had been
having a party. People had enjoyed themselves immensely. She recalled having a
lovely time herself. Oh and she�d drank a lot; though interesting how she
didn�t have a hang over-

Sakura snapped up again, this time
more awake.

�Wait��

Running the entire night over in
her head, she only got as far as remembering a talk she had with Lee, out on
the balcony. After that, it was all a blur; though she did remember falling
back and being caught.

�He must have brought me home.�

She grinned a little to herself,
but then stopped as she caught sight of her attire. She wasn�t wearing her
normal outfit, and she would have distinctly remembered changing. Instead she
was in the same long nightshirt she�d worn the night before.

The fact she still had her undergarments
on still did nothing to suppress the quick flurry of emotions that flashed
across her features. In the end, she just sighed and fought off the blush.

�It�s not like he did it to be
perverted.�

Though truthfully, sleeping in a
bra was as uncomfortable as any of her other day attire. Speaking of which, she
looked over and found her garments on top her dresser, folded. This didn�t
really surprise her, but the sight of it touched her. Getting up, she padded
over to her things and looked herself over.

�Blah, I need a shower.�

As she headed for her linen closet
to retrieve a towel, her stomach however had other ideas. Grumbling loudly, and
throwing in the feeling of ebbing hunger, Sakura diverted her paces towards the
kitchen instead.

�On second thought; eat first. Ugh,
I don�t really want to cook but if-�

Sakura�s rant was halted as she
entered the kitchen only to find a plate of food already waiting for her. Eggs,
bacon and what looked like a small stack of pancakes greeted the hungry one;
complete of course with one of her taller glasses filled with orange juice.
Sakura stared a moment more before a wave of giddiness washed over her.

�I�m being so spoiled!�

As she reached the table, she found
a note folded under the plate, and quickly read over the contents.

� � Little
Flower;� I hope you will forgive my
uninvited intrusion to your domicile; but please know I solely had your best
interest in mind. The food may need to be reheated � start your day healthy and
happy.� �

It was unsigned, but that mattered
not. Taking the advice, Sakura stuck the plate into her new Microwave �
something she�d picked up a few months ago and loved ever sense � and waited
patiently for her meal. She was bubbling; she didn�t know Lee could cook; at
least, not foods like this. Sure your basic shinobi
and fool could cook instant ramen in a cup, or make a sandwich. Pancakes
required work; eggs required precision.

The beep from the Microwave pulled
her away from her thoughts and she took the contents out and sat down. Since it
was Saturday, she didn�t have any missions or duties for today, unless she
wished so. Sakura decided she�d take the day as a day off. Maybe she could even
spend the day with some of her friends; providing of course. Mulling her
thoughts around, Sakura had practically devoured the eggs and bacon, and started
to dig into the fluffy cakes.

�I should stop by and see Ino at the flower shop. I heard her talking the other day
about that��

Sakura froze, fork in mouth and
face set. Quickly, and with much effort, she swallowed. She then up ended half
her drink to wash the taste out of her mouth.

�What in the name of Kami�?!�

Sakura eyed the food suspiciously.
Decided perhaps it was just the one, she moved to the next fluffy cake and,
taking a smaller piece, tried it instead. The result was even worse and after
emptying her glass, she pushed her plate away.

�What�d he do, use SALT in these
things?!�

As if to answer her question,
Sakura peered over at her containers that held various cooking ingredients.
Four jars, a set that matched, but with four different colors greeted her eyes.
To their critical gaze, she observed that the yellow, green and purple jars had
been recently used. As she had committed to memory what color held what
ingredient, she groaned. Purple held Flour. Green held Pepper. Yellow held
Salt. Blue, which held Sugar, was untouched.

�Why the hell did you even TOUCH
the Pepper? Salt I can understand�.�� She
ranted to herself, getting up and disposing of the rest. She continued her
assault of poor cooking assessment during her shower, and during her walk into
the Yamanaki Flower shop.

�Morning
Forehead. How are you feeling?�

�Morning Pig.
I�m fine, why?�

�Well, because most the group knows
you passed out last night at the party.�

�Oh, joy.� Sakura sighed lightly.
�I hope I didn�t worry everyone.�

�Nah, I don�t think so. A few of
the others said they saw you downing drinks all night, so some of us where just
waiting to see when you actually would pass out.�

�Oh, now I�m really relived. Glad
to know you all think of me so highly.� Sakura grinned.

�You know I�m playing you. I know
you had a fun time.� Ino smiled at her friend, and
then turned to categorize a few new flowers on a near by shelf.

�I did, and I was really happy
everyone could be there.� Sakura spoke as she looked over various flowers and
plants.

�Oh yeah, but after a while, I
started feeling so bad for Hinata.�

�Why?�

�Naruto. He kept going on and on about all these
little stories of the various little happens that the two had gone through. She
was as red as your outfit. She had to excuse herself at one point and Naruto shot off after her. It was all cute and comical.�

Sakura laughed and smiled.

�I must have totally missed that.�

�Yeah, this all happened after you
passed out and were whisked away by your new �Prince Youthful.�� Ino teased the other girl, chuckling to her self.

Sakura felt her face flush
slightly, but she laughed as well, and gave her friend a grin.

�Come on, don�t be like that. You
know as well as I do how Lee is.�

Ino
stopped her categorizing and turned to face the pink hair kunoichi.
The blonde�s expression was one of confusion. Slowly a goofy smile began to
spread across her lips.

�And just exactly how much did you
drink last night Sakura?�

�What does that have to do with
anything?� Sakura turned towards the other, and could see her friend was
shaking in a silent laughter.

�What�s so funny?�

�Lee took you home?�

�I may have been drunk and slightly
out of it, but he came out on the balcony with me; and even after I told him to
leave, he didn�t. In hind-sight I�m glad he didn�t because the sake started
getting to me and I wound up throwing myself backwards. Thank Kami he caught me- Why are you laughing?!�

Sakura was getting flustered as Ino had gone from slight laughter to tears.

�Argh! You�re just trying to aggravate me into a
fight. I have to go run some errands; I�ll be back later; if you�ll TALK to me
and not PICK ON ME!�

With that, Sakura stepped out and
began on her way, huffing slightly as she did so. Ino
finally collected herself and after only a few minutes, scampered over to the
phone.

�The guys will LOVE this.�

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

�� Having
clamed down considerable after a small round of shopping, Sakura felt a craving
for a sweet treat. Thusly, she found herself now staring at the menu listings
of various Ice Creams and chocolate delights. They all looked so good, but what
to pick.

�� I�ll have
one blueberry Sunday please.�

�� I take a
peanut butter crunch and a mint coconut cone!�

�� Sakura
turned to the voices next to her and smiled, lifting up and waving at the three
trio.

�� Hinata, Kiba, Shino. What�s up
guys? No missions today?�

�� Actually
we got back from one about an hour or so ago. We all felt like we deserved a
treat for a job well done. Isn�t that right Akamaru?�

�� Kiba ruffled the large canines head as he gave a happy
bark.

�� Sakura
finally ordered her own treat, and joined the four over at a nearby table. The
group talked for a while, passing time and enjoying the company. Their
conversation branched onto all sorts from training to various jutsu�s, to Sakura asking Hinata
how her medical training was doing. Sakura at one point remembered what Ino had told her, and turned back to the other woman.

�� Hinata, are you feeling alright now? Ino
told me that Naruto practically embarrassed you to
death.�

�� Hinata blushed fiercely and gave a small smile.

�� I�m fine
now. Naruto and I talked; he told me it was because
he was new to the whole �having a girlfriend� thing. I can understand what he
means. It�s like you want to tell someone all the happy things, because you
yourself are so happy.�

�� Sakura
smiled and nodded.

�� Yeah, I
can see that.�

�� Kiba gave an almost feral grin and smirked.

�� So what about you, Sakura?�

�� The pink
hair woman blinked and turned to the fanged one.

�� What about me, what?�

�� Are you gonna share with us what you did after the party?�

�� Sakura
furrowed her brow and dug into her ice cream forcefully.

�� I didn�t do anything, Kiba.�

�� No need to
be shy about it Sakura; we saw how you clung to him.�

Kiba
smirked and chuckled upon seeing the girl�s cheeks match the color of her hair.
Hinata chided Kiba to stop,
while Shino sat on, looking as passive as ever.

�I was drunk, passed out and my
instincts probably told my subconscious I was safe.� Sakura�s face was a vibrant
shade of crimson upon hearing this detail.

�Or where you thinking how flexible
the Taijutsu Master might be in a midnight spar?�

Slamming her hands down on the
table, Sakura shot up and growled at the dog boy.

�Ino put
you up to this! I know it! God, WHY do you people have to be such PERVS! Of all
people I�d think you�d at least show Lee some respect!�

Kiba just
retorted with a burst of laughter.

�� Oh god,
you� you� Hahaha that�s rich!�

�� AH! I GIVE
UP!� Sakura yelled, and stormed off once again.

�� Kiba that was mean.� Hinata
frowned lightly.

�� No, what�s
mean is that I wanna see the look on her face when
someone finally tells her!�

- - - - - - - - - - - -

�� Sakura was
fuming as she passed by Ichiraku Ramen, and ran into Naruto. He could see she was upset, but when he tried to
ask her on it, she�d told him in no short terms that if he valued his life,
he�d let her go fume elsewhere, quietly. Naruto had
obliged. For the next hour and a half, Sakura kept avoiding everyone like the
plague. She was NOT up to being teased merciless today. All she wanted to do
was relax and enjoy her day off.

�� Mentally
grabbing control of herself, Sakura began to take a
few deep breaths and ease into a more calmer mind frame. She would not let
today�s events bother her. So what if everyone wanted to tease her. Did she not
just explain the previous night that she wanted to start anew? That she wished
now to start taking in all the things she had once previously passed over?
Well, that would require this little �fiasco� to be pushed away; out of mind,
out of sight.

�� No�thinking
a problem does exist isn�t the right way. Instead I should embrace it
and�and�and do what, let it get to me? No�I should- what the hell should I do?�

�� It was then
a deep course of laughter flittered through her ears, and Sakura suddenly
brightened a little.

�� That�s it!
Break it down, and laugh at it. Laugh with it. Hell,
just laugh. It�s not like the guys were being mean; they were just teasing
after all, though Kiba did go a bit far. Sometimes I
wonder how Hinata puts up with him in the team. Then
again, look what I had to put up with; along with myself being almost useless-�

�� At that
moment, Sakura�s protective instincts shot through the roof, and out of natural
habit, and her lucky ability to multitask when necessary, her hand flew to her
kunai, and came in an arc. With her kunai she deflected another that had been
sailing strait at her. Sakura�s eye�s hard gaze stared forward as she held her
stance- for a moment her mind was in complete mission mode.

�� After that
initial moment, her brain registered to her the figure standing to her side �
where the kunai had come from � and the distance couldn�t have been more than
200 meters away. It was then that recognition hit her, and slight shock waned
over her face. Blinking, she began to relax her pose only slightly.

�� TenTen?�

�� Sakura? You ok?�

�� The pink
hair kunoichi blinked, then promptly re-holstered her
kunai and stood back in a relaxed stance.

�� Woman, WHY on earth did you throw a kunai at me?!�

�� I didn�t.
You walked into my path.�

�� Sakura
blinked dumbly.

�� Huh?�

�� TenTen just shook her head with a smile and pointed to
somewhere behind Sakura. Sakura followed her comrade�s gesture and upon turning
around gaze a comical cry. Neji stood there, meeting
her gaze with his own, about ten feet away. Lee was currently walking up to
her, looking a bit concerned.

�� Sakura-San. Are you alright?�

�� Sakura swallowed
back the tightness she felt in her throat. She�d walked right in the middle
groups training � how in the world
had she accomplished that?

�� I�m fine,
Lee-kun. Just a little�nerved.�

�� I should
say. What ever it is you were thinking about, must have been something heavy
for you to just blindly wander here and into our training.� TenTen
had walked over to the group and smiled at the other woman.

�� Yeah, you
could say that. My day hasn�t exactly been as relaxing as I�d hope it would be,
and I�m really doing horrible at what I promised myself.�

�� Oh? What�s
that?�

�� Well, it�s
kinda hard to explain without going into-�

�� Into what?�

�� TenTen gave Sakura a curious glance before looking to Neji and Lee, almost asking if the other girl was ok. Neji just shrugged as Lee shook his head, and the two men
began to look around, possible spying for something. A movement from Sakura
prompted them to all look back at her. She was slowly putting on her gloves.
This act in itself was confusing the three until Lee spun around and began
watching every direction. Neji and TenTen furrowed their brows until they realized what was
going on, and they too, spun around and began to watch every direction. Back to
back to back; with Sakura in the middle.

�� As I was
saying�� She continued while checking her gloves contours and fittings.

�� I promised
myself�� Left was snug.

�� That I
would start�� Right was tight.

�� Learning to really live life.� She powered up a bit of
chakra.

�� I think I
follow your meaning, as over the years I�ve gotten to understand such cryptic
words.� TenTen glanced behind her to give her a
smile.

�� Not as
cryptic as you think, but yeah. Though after failing at my first try at this
attempt, I feel the need to beat something up for all the teasing I�ve gone
through today.�

�� Teasing?�
The brunette questioned.

�� At that
Sakura jumped up a bit and turned in mid-air, and started coming down fast.

�� JUMP!�

�� Everyone
followed the verbal command, and Sakura came crashing down onto the earthen
floor; which went up. Almost like a concave effect, though a few large portions
came up from the sudden abrasive and powerful kick. Only a few seconds later,
four kunai came zipping out from the upturned earth; one for each target. The
young adults deflected them all easily.

�� Katon! Goukakyuu no Jutsu!�

�� The four
has a little tougher time dodging the fire that swept over them, but they did
manage. Though now the field was upturned, and a dimly lit inferno. Keeping on
some of the larger chunks of earth Sakura had busted forth, the four didn�t
have much time to rest as another wave came at them. Now the earth was getting
a bit charred and slightly less suitable for stepping. Then again, that was the
least of the worries the trio had right now.

�� Magen! Narakumi no Jutsu!�

�� While TenTen, Neji and Lee tensed and
readied to flee at the impact of whatever came, Sakura just spat and swore.

�� Not this
time! Not again!� She gritted her teeth and jumped back closer to the group as
the leaves danced around them. Sakura brought up her hands and saw out of her
peripheral vision, that TenTen and Neji did the same.

�� Kai!� The leaves died and fell away, and the group stood at
ready.

�� It was then
from their left that another launch of the Goukakyuu
was launched and they all dove out of the way. The four landed a bit away and
shot out a few projectiles. Unsure of whether or not they did anything, the
group came back in closer. Neji narrowed his eyes,
his Byakugan having been activated since Sakura has
put on her gloves. He�d been keeping track of the assailant�s moves, but
something was off. He was reading a person, but it wasn�t right. In fact�

�� Shit, this
is the same stunt Naruto pulled in the Chuunin exams.�

�� The other
three were confused by the prodigy�s outburst.

�� I can�t
pinpoint the true location of the true body.� Neji
answered then, still seeking out with his vision.

�� Sakura�s
mind raced; they needed a plan. They needed something to drive the target into
the middle, or at least something to pinpoint the true location. She was
starting to get an idea in the back of her mind until a short cry from TenTen caused her to startle a little. She was about to ask
what had riled the other kunoichi until she herself
felt it. A hand grab at her ankle.

�� Four
identical figures pulled out of the earthen terrain they stood upon, and each
held one of their captured victims in place with tight force. TenTen squirmed, Neji muttered
swears and Sakura herself was gritting her teeth. Casting a glance around her,
to get some kind of bearing back into the groups favor, Sakura caught a look at
Lee and was slightly confused.

�� Lee was
being held by the cloned captor, but very loosely. What was more disturbing was
that Lee looked shocked, frightened and even slightly angry. Yet, why wasn�t he
trying to break out of the loose hold he was pinned in? Straining to hear was
he was mumbling, Sakura couldn�t pick up on anything
other than �Fake.� Mind reeling, Sakura tried to make heads or tails of it when
it suddenly came to light.

�� Lee! Snap
out of it!�

�� No response
came from the green clad ninja, but TenTen and Neji voiced their concern.

�� Lee, he
didn�t expel the genjutsu in time. Dammit.�

�� This is a
bit more than I�m use to myself, but I�m not going to let that stop me.� TenTen slipped two fingers easily into the rim of her
pants. She was thankful that her hands had been pinned behind her. Neji wasn�t as lucky as his arms were pinned against his
own chest in front of him. Sakura�s hands were crossed behind her back, and
still being held down.

�� As if
hearing a mental click in her head, Sakura set herself as ready.

�� TenTen, remember that technique you and Neji
explained to me about a week ago; the one you two have been perfecting?�

�� Yea?�

�� On my mark, alright?�

�� TenTen nodded and a smirk crossed her features. Neji�s own face had a smirk as well; which was a bit of a
surprise for the kunoichi, but gave her a jolt of
confidence.

�� Inhaling
and calming herself, Sakura closed her eyes and began to concentrate. Slowly,
recollection of a special technique that Kurenai-San
had taught her came to being. Sakura focused on the cherry blossom trees around
Konoha, the way they swayed in the wind; the way the
petals danced on the air. The feeling of weightlessness, the feeling of dancing
on the wind � graceful � was what she trained her mind to focus on.

�� With that,
Sakura�s body began to shimmer, and shatter into hundred of Sakura blossoms.
The clone captor lost grip as there was no more body to hold and stumbled. The
petals swirled around the group and soon collected together again, in the
center. Upon her reforming, Sakura whipped out two kunai and plunged them deep
into two clones. The clone holding TenTen popped and
the brunette whipped around; her hand which she previously slipped to the hem
of her pants slid back out and flung a precisely aimed sebbon
at the clone that formerly held Sakura.

�� As the
clone that had held Neji captive popped, he too
whipped about, and with his unique grace only a Hyuuga
held, destroyed the clone holding Lee. Sakura turned back two the others.

�� Push
chakra into him.�

�� The weapons
mistress nodded as she and Neji each clasped a shoulder
to the shaken taijutsu specialist. A few minutes
later, he looked as if he snapped out of a daze. He blinked a few times, then
nodded a quiet thanks to his teammates.

�� Lee, I�ll
need your strength! Follow with me!�

�� Hai, Sakura-San!�

�� Tenten, Neji, MARK!�

�� At that,
the weapons mistress brought out two scrolls and began to perform her hand
signs, causing the scrolls to smoke and become twisting dragons. Simultaneously,
Neji began to ready himself in his stance, preparing
for the onslaught.

�� Soushouryu!� As the smoke dragons
became scrolls, TenTen began to let loose the barrage
of weapons, but all aimed at Neji. As the weapons came sailing, Sakura and Lee jumped out of the way and high
into the air.

�� Hakkesho Kaiten!� Neji shouted and began his revolutions, causing his chakra
to flare and create his impenetrable shield. The effect and the spin of the
chakra shield basically sent the weapons ricocheting everywhere across the
field. If someone was hiding, they�d find out.

�� In the air,
Sakura and Lee searched frantically for any sign, and just as they hit the
heist arc of their initial jump, Lee pulled Sakura�s attention.

�� There!�

�� Indeed as
Lee pointed out to her, she too saw the almost invisible, but not quiet, aura
of a single person dodging the mass of sailing weapons. As Lee and Sakura
descended quickly, both set them selves in a falling kick stance; mirroring one
another. Straight and true, both kicks landed and hit hard; knocking the
opponent to the ground, who from the impact slide at least ten or fifteen feet
back, and lay there. He was longer invisible, but clear to be seen. Everything
was quiet and still.

�� From the
corner of her eye Sakura saw Lee give a�rather cocky smirk. Pursing her lips
lightly, she stared ahead as she heard Neji and TenTen coming up behind them.

�� Whew, that
was some work-out!� TenTen cheered
��
�� I have to
agree that was a bit more intense than usual.� Neji
spoke lightly.

�� Sakura
narrowed her eyes and furrowed her brow, her cheeks puffing a bit. Casting a
quick glance at Lee, she saw him turn to the others and smile.

�� I agree,
that was most invigorating, even if I did manage to slip up a bit.� He rubbed
the back of his head before resting his hand on his hip.

�� Sakura�s
eyes widened.

�� Sorry you
got caught up in this Sakura, but I guess you kinda
fell into it.� TenTen chuckled.

�� After a
moment of no response, TenTen called to her friend
again, who turned away from the fallen figure and back to the group. Her face
mirrored her thoughts as she looked seriously annoyed.

�� Sakura?� TenTen raised an
eyebrow.

�� Sakura
merely grumbled and walked over to Lee, fixing him with a hard stare. Lee
looked a little worried and dropped his relaxed pose.

�� Saku-Raahh!� Lee�s words were
stopped by a non to gentle punch in the gut.

�� TenTen and Neji gasped in shock,
frozen from dumbfounded curiosity. Sakura pulled back her fist from the green
clad ninja. Though she had not put any chakra into the hit, it still made the
unexpected impact she�d hoped.

�� I wanted a
nice day off, but oh no, I had to be teased, picked on and to top it all off,
pulled into a furious training session, which you so kindly invited me into. So not the day of rest
and reflection I wanted.�

�� As Neji and TenTen were about the
ask if Sakura had possibly been hit on the head, the fallen figure burst into a
puff of smoke, as Lee did himself � suddenly growing two feet in height.

�� I guess I
deserved that, after pulling you into our training, Sakura-San.� Gai gave a grin and pulled himself up. Though he wasn�t
really hurt, the punch did leave a little bit of a sore spot. The woman could
punch alright.

�� Sensei?!� TenTen blinked rapidly
and Neji looked a little bit surprised by this sudden
unexpected event.

�� So how was
that for today�s training? Was it exciting and new? Remember that one should
always expect the unexpected!� Gai smiled proudly to
himself, meriting that today�s training session was indeed a great success.

�� But if
you�re here, then where is Lee?� The weapon mistress questioned.
��
�� Ah, he had
an opportunity to take a special early morning mission. He almost dismissed it
to favor today�s session, but I told him that passing up such an opportunity
would be a waste. Since I knew he�d be out, I decided to incorporate his
absence into the training session.�

�� Gai grinned and closed his eyes, a bit of a smug
expression, but not one of high or mighty proportions.

�� Though for
a while I was unsure how long it would take you all to realize my switch. It
took Sakura-San here to actually figure it out. How did you come about the
correct answer?�

�� Sakura,
less annoyed than she was before, gave him a blank look.

�� Lee
doesn�t smirk after training, nor does he hold his hip.�

�� Oh, mannerisms. I see. Of all things�ehehe��

�� Sakura..� TenTen turned back to the girl
and walked up to her, giving her a smile.

�� Now will
you tell me?�

�� Tell you�?
Oh! Right, right. The teasing.�

�� Yes.� The
brunette nodded, and grinned.

�� I don�t
know, it�s just...Ino began
picking on me, and then Kiba started picking on me
even worse��

�� But what about silly?� Tenten giggled
a little as Neji shifted in his spot.

�� About the
party last night; how I passed out and how Lee brought me home.�

�� At these
words, Tenten and Neji
stared at the girl with faces of confusion. Gai
tensed a little.

�� Sakura
caught the looks the two facing her gave her, and mistook them for reactions to
the teasing.

�� I know, I
know, it�s silly and dumb; but I mean come on. Why�d they have to go and be
like that? Well, Ino wasn�t so bad, but Kiba really crossed the line with his little innuendo
remark on flexibility.�
��
�� The two
brunettes blinked. Gai began to slowly back away.

�� Uh,
Sakura, I hate to interrupt, but�Lee was with us last night.�

�� I know
that, but I�m talking about when I passed out.�

�� No, he was
still with us. I do remember him getting up and I saw him follow you somewhere,
but after couple of minutes, he was back with us � he had to help me take Neji home because he drank too much.�

�� Nonsense,
I was fine. I could have gotten home easily.�

�� Right, and
was that before or after you mistook the salt shaker for a sno-cone?�

�� I did no
such thing; that would be-�

�� Guys, I
may have been a bit drunk, but I know who and what I saw. Lee was there on the balcony
with me, even after I told him to leave. I guess I got a bit light headed
because I remember falling, but he caught me. I saw that much. Same green suit,
same green jacket -�
��
�� Sakura,
please believe me when I say that Lee was with us. Neji
was nailed, regardless if he thinks he was or not. Lee had to help me; I
remember his whole rant on the effects and negatives of too much sake and blah blah blah��

�� Sakura was beginning to grow a short fuse; first teasing, now this.

�� Well if
Lee wasn�t the one, then who the hell-�

�� Sakura�s
words died slowly as she saw TenTen point behind her,
with a face that gave a sheepish look. Sakura found her left eye begin to
twitch. The whole onslaught of today�s teasing words, last nights memories and
this mornings findings all running into one as her glaring eyes turned slowly
behind her and landed upon a now very distantly standing Maito
Gai.

�� I think
I�ll just be going � rivals to challenge, days to live.�

�� ...You.�

�� Why did the
older jounin suddenly feel a sense of gnawing
impending doom?
Gai gave a wave before taking off
down the street, as quickly as possible.

�� SHANNOOOOO!�

�� And with
that battle cry, a furious pink blur began to chase after said green blur in
attempts to deliver much due pain.

�� Inhaling a
full breath, and then letting out a contented sigh, Rock Lee smiled warmly as
he stepped through the large gate of Konoha. He had
just finished his mission and was glad to be home. Now he�d be able to get some
intense training in.

�� Taking a
few steps forwarded, Lee smiled happily to himself, deciding what he�d do first
after turning in his report to the Godaime. A few
steps more, and Lee found himself just managing to evade a quick and rushing
blur of green and pink.

�� Looking off
to his left, he stood a bit dumbfounded and confused.

�� Had he just
heard his beautiful angel threaten his sensei?

�� Perhaps a
small rest would do me good before training.�

�� When did
she get so fast?�

�� When I get
my hands on you, you�ll be in the hospital for 2 weeks, and then I�ll make sure
you�re under my care � and keep you there even longer!�
��
�� Aren�t you
over-reacting just a bit?�

�� Running was
beginning to become a bad idea, as it was a village with many people. No one
needed to get hurt here � including himself! So thusly, Gai
came up with, what he thought, was a brilliant idea. Stopping abruptly and
throwing up a few hands signs, Sakura saw her opening. Just as her first of
many punches came sailing down, she stopped it just in
time. She grunted annoyed.

�� Her fist
was a mere few inches away from the face of what appeared to be a five year
old. Sakura growled lowly to herself. She couldn�t beat the crap out of him if
he was like this � the citizens would think she was insane or an abusive woman,
and bad ninja.

�� Dirty trick. You�re just as bad as Kakshi-San.�

�� The five
year old�s innocent face gave a fanged cocky smirk.

�� I learn
from the best.�

�� Eye
twitching, and temper still a bit high, she narrowed her eyes at the henged form of the older man. He�d played a smart trick. But�.

�� But you�re
not as smart.�

�� Hu?� Gai�s
face fell.

�� Picking up
the tiny form from the back of his neck, Sakura pulled him up to eye level with
her and spoke in low, but triumphant tones.

�� You�re
right that punching you as you are now would make these citizens see me as a
bad ninja and cruel person. However, they will not care that I would be
spanking a very naughty brat for his misbehavior and misconduct.�

�� You�.wouldn�t�
dare�� The round eyes of the five year old form seemed to grow even wider with
panic.

�� Indeed,
Sakura had been correct. The citizens seemed to paid little to no mind to the
pink haired woman who was severely disciplining the backside of a very naughty
little boy; who had apparently been caught peeking at half naked girls and
dumping salt into peoples food, amongst other things.
