Sakura's pov

I felt a deep gash in left arm, nothing too serious, Sasuke on the other hand by what I could tell was fighting to stay conscious. I felt completely drained, my body felt like lead, I was ready to pass out until a voice called out to me.

"Beat that teme! Haha Sakura-chan that was soooo cool, how'd you do that do you think you could teach me a thing or two?!"

All I could muster was a faint smile and a light nod, when I saw the world around me diminish into a dark mahogany void.

"Been awhile hasn't it?"

Inner, it feels like forever

"I bet, say when was the last time you sparred this hard?"

The first few days training with Tsunade-shishou.

"Kami I miss that women, I wonder what she's up to now"

Drinking and gambling, but yes I sure do miss her too Inner.

"Yeah you're probably right, by the way nice ninjutsu, you did really good for someone who never really used it before"

Thanks Inner, it makes me feel a bit odd, since I'm so used to using my own strength and chakra, it's just weird to me you know?

"Of course I know silly I'm part of you, well I am you haha, but let's get serious are we really gonna continue to listen to Danzo?"

No I'm not going through with kidnapping anyone anymore.

Flashback

"Haruno Sakura, I have asked for your presence because I need you to do me a favor"

I nodded biting my tongue.

"Let me kill that bastard, shannaro!"

"I need you to bring me someone, a few people actually but what I need you to do is space out the time between the takings"

"Takings? What the hell, what are we doing?!"

"Any questions?"

I coughed and gave a slight nod. To which he nodded back and open his mouth speak.

"Go ahead and ask"

"Who am I taking and what do you mean by 'taking'?"

"Quite simple I'm asking you to kidnap Hyūga's from the main branch, it doesn't matter who just bring them to me."

"WHAT THE FLIP"

"Just make sure they're from the main branch but not in the inner circle, not like your strong enough to handle the inner circle but I don't want any suspicions going around okay? Be stealthy"

"ILL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I AM A POWERFUL INDEPENDENT WOMAN WHO DOESNT NEED TO DEAL WITH THIS!"

"Yes sir..."

"WHAT?! SAKURA?!"

"Good now go..oh and one more thing"

Rock Lee's pov

I had just finished a few hundred laps when I saw something er someone catch my attention, it looked like a girl from here. I sprinted full speed to see if she needed anything.

I slammed on my breaks and spoke, er yelled...

"HELLO THERE! Might you need any assistance young lady?!"

"Hm?"

The girl in front of me looked up and stared at me for a few seconds, her piercing evergreen eyes locked on with my ebony ones. She lifted her small straw hat to reveal soft pastel pink hair in low pigtails that framed her features beautifully(like in the picture). My heart beat sped up, I felt blood and heat rush to my face, she looked like an angel.

"Maybe a little help won't hurt heh, say do I know you? You seem familiar to me"

I thought I was going to implode when she giggled softy, how did this angel get here, I am one lucky man to be able to talk to her and gaze at her beauty. I reached for the bags she was carrying, as I nervously walked to her side, my heart pounding in my ears I barely heard her speak.

"My names Sakura by the way, Sakura Haruno, and you?"

I was so nervous, I blurted out.

"ROCK"

"Rock?"

She looked down at the grass, examining it carefully.

"I don't see any rocks?"

My breath hitched in my throat, as I tried to breath threw my nose to relieve the burning sensation in my body, when I train I never get this burning hot feeling, sweat yes but not this.

"ROCK LEE"

"Oh it's your name haha!, I'm sorry about that Rock Lee"

"DONT WORRY YOUTHFUL GIRL! You can just call me Lee!"

"Alright Lee thank you for helping me!"

"No problem sweet angel!"

"Huh?"

I wanted to run off, but what caught my attention was a soft giggle and a warm hand on my shoulder.

"You're sweet Lee, thank you"

"NO PROBLEM MY YOUTHFUL BLOSSOM!"

We made small conversations on the way to her home as I bid her a goodnight.

"Goodnight my youthful blossom!"

"Hehe night Lee"

I actually walked home that night, with a small smile on my face.
