The Letter

Ok, you guys dragged this out of me. I thought up a storyline, a fairly short one in my opinion, but it will do. I’m not even sure you guys will like me by the end of this fic, but we shall see. I’m looking at this chapter in my lap, written only last night and I’m thinking that I’ll probably change a few things. Last night, before I went to bed, I was reading ‘Conviction’ by Questofdreams, very good author. And as I was reading, this chapter again sitting in my lap, eagerly waiting to be written, I glanced down at it and thought, ‘This will not do. I’m going to have to up my game.’ Now, I like Questofdreams, I’m not in competition with him/her, so don’t get any wrong ideas. I was thinking of how lazy I was being and how I knew I could write better than what I had written. So, as I write this I’m already thinking of the changes I’ll make. I’m sorry this is so long. That is most likely the only apology you’ll get from me through the progression of this fic. If I’m late with a chapter, as I’m prone to do, blame it on school or work, for I will not be apologizing. As we all do, I do have a life outside of writing and it stops for no one, not even me. So with out further ado, I present to you the second chapter of ‘The Letter’.

Lee nimbly leapt from branch to branch. He’d be in Konoha in less than fifteen minutes.

He smiled excitedly at the notion of being in Konoha again. The wind blew his hair back from around his ANBU mask. He’d grown his hair out longer over the years. It was now the same style he had had it when he first became a genin. That was the only thing he changed, besides his choice in clothing. He no longer wore the green spandex suit with the orange legwarmers. When he wasn’t wearing his ANBU uniform, he was usually wearing fishnet and sweats or some other thing Sakura bought him.

He landed in front of the main gate and nodded in greeting to the guards before going in. The minute he stepped foot inside, he was off again, leaping from rooftop to rooftop until he landed on a balcony. He slid open the glass door and stepped into a living room. Their living room, his and Sakura’s living room. They’d moved in together about two weeks ago after dating for six months.

Lee glanced around the room. Sakura had done some decorating. The living room was a sea green color with a matching wall to wall carpet. There was a long sofa with a matching love seat and armchair, all a light greenish blue. In the middle of the room sat a glass coffee table and around the room were various plants either sitting on glass end tables or hanging from the ceiling in specific places.

Lee smiled slightly, she had good taste. He walked to the kitchen door and peeked inside, taking in the lemon colored walls, marble table-top and sparse knick-knacks around the room that added flair nonetheless.

He nodded and walked down the hall, which had a ten piece mirror on the wall and various pictures, and opened the bathroom door. Again he only peeked inside, seeing an all light blue bathroom. He closed the door and moved further down the hall to the bedroom. He opened the door and blinked. He wasn’t expecting it to be so simple.

The bedroom was all white. On the walls were strategically placed fans with geisha girls painted on them. Next to the closet was a black dresser and in the center of the room was a black canopy bed with white sheer material draped over and around the sides. Over the bed was an old looking scroll with a painting of ancient Konoha and in the bed, sleeping peacefully, was Sakura.

Lee smiled softly and gently closed the door. He quietly stripped off his ANBU uniform, leaving it on a pile the floor. He grabbed his armor from the floor and walked over to the closet, hanging it and his mask on the same hanger. He picked up both the velvet box and the letter and buried it deep in one of the dresser drawers, also pulling out a pair of pajama pants. He slipped them on and padded quietly over to the bed and slid under the sheets.

Lee pulled Sakura closer to him by her waist and kissed her softly on the nose. She was so beautiful; he slid his finger softly down her cute nose before kissing it again. Sakura twitched lightly before rolling over, closer to him, and moaning softly.

Lee’s eyes narrowed slightly as he pushed back Sakura’s shoulder length hair from her neck. He had missed that moan dearly, even if he was only gone for a week. He lowered his head and lightly nibbled her neck before kissing down to her shoulder. He pulled her closer to him and began to take little sips of her collar bone until her reached the dip in the center, were he dipped his tongue. He pulled down the strap of her tank top and slipped his hand inside and underneath her breast. They were not large breasts, about the size of a medium orange. Lee loved them anyway. He lifted her breast from it’s shelter and began to lightly suck the nipple. His tongue began to flick back and forth over it when Sakura moaned softly in her sleep.

His hand left her breast and slipped underneath the sheet and inside her cotton panties. His finger softly swept over her entrance, gathering some of the wetness. He brought his finger to her clit and began to pet it until it became swollen.

Sakura was trembling in her sleep and panting slightly under Lee’s onslaught. He twirled his tongue around Sakura’s nipple as he let his finger sink into her depths and his thumb gently stroke her clit. His finger dug deeper into Sakura, pressing the roof of her vagina before sliding out again. He slide it inside again, mimicking the act he longed to do, but he wanted her awake. And he would wake her up in the most pleasant way possible. He stroked her clit faster; Sakura began to pant heavily and moan as her hips moved against him. His teeth bite down gently on her nipple and he pushed his finger into her g-spot.

Sakura’s eyes opened suddenly as she gasped. Her whole body tensed and then trembled as she had the best orgasm she had that week. “Lee…” Sakura murmured as she felt him try to suck her whole breast into her mouth. She shuddered and pulled his face up to hers. She kissed him and moaned in his mouth when his finger pushed against her g-spot, bringing her to another trembling orgasm. She reached down and pulled up his hand, placing it to her full lips. She peered lustfully into Lee’s eyes before sucking his fingers into her mouth, licking her cum off of his finger.

Lee moaned and trembled at the act.

Sakura sat up and straddled him, kissing him softly before kissing down his neck and taking one of his nipples into her mouth. She bit it softly as she raked her nails over the other. Again, Lee moaned. She kissed down his muscled stomach, dipping her tongue into his belly button while she pulled down his pajama pants. His fully erect penis stood up proudly, pre-cum beaded at the head. She swept her tongue over his head, extracting a groan from him. She took it into her mouth before slowly sliding his length into her mouth. Her head bobbed up and down twice before Lee grabbed her shoulders and pulled her up, flipping her onto her stomach. He kicked his pants off and pulled down Sakura’s panties. He lowered his head to her butt and lightly nipped it, eliciting a squeak from her.

He positioned himself at her opening before pushing into her. He lay down on top of her, burying his face into her hair. He inhaled deeply, savoring both the smell of her shampoo and the tightness he’d missed while he was away. As he thrust into her slowly, he pushed her hair off the back of her neck and began to lick and nibble it slowly.

Sakura shivered and squeezed around Lee while thrusting back against him.

Lee grunted and thrust into her warm tightness with fast, steady strokes. He moaned into her hair.

Sakura moaned loudly as she thrust back into him faster, matching him stroke for stroke. She was so close to coming.

Lee pushed his hand underneath her and began to rub and pinch her clit.

That was it for her. Sakura screamed, her hands gripped the sheets as her whole world exploded around her.

Lee cried out softly when Sakura clamped down tightly around him, shooting his cum into her. He rolled onto his back, panting heavily.

Sakura untangled her hands from the sheets and rolled over next to Lee. She put her head on his chest and sighed. “You just got back?” She asked softly.

“Hn.” He grunted drowsily. He’d been up all day, traveling back to Konoha.

Sakura put her head up to look at Lee’s sleeping face. She smiled gently and kissed his eyes. “I love you Lee.” She whispered.

“I love you too.” Lee answered slowly after a minute.

“Do you want to go out for breakfast tomorrow?” She asked while shaking him lightly.

“Hn.” He replied.

Again she smiled and lay her head back down. She drifted off to sleep.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Sakura woke up to an empty bed the next morning. She stretched and sat up yawning as Lee walked in with one towel around his waist and one around his neck.

“Did you sleep well, Sakura-chan?” He asked while drying his hair with the towel around his neck.

She nodded as she studied his half-naked muscular frame. “Where do you want to go for breakfast?”

Lee wrinkled his nose in thought as he removed the towel. He dried off and walked over to the dresser, giving her a wonderful view of his butt. “I think the restaurant in downtown would do, you know the one that serves pancakes in the mornings? What do you think?” He asked as he pulled on a pair of blue boxers.

“Oh, you mean Rikku’s? That would be fine. I hear their pancakes are great.” She got out of bed and walked up to him. “I’m going to take a shower and then we can leave, k?” She said while patting his butt.

Lee smirked, “Of course.”

Sakura tip-toed and kissed him on the nose before leaving to the bathroom.

Lee pulled open a drawer and pulled out a closely knitted fishnet tank top. He pulled it over his head and opened another drawer, pulling out a pair of dark green wind breaker pants with pockets going down the legs. He pulled them on and walked to the pile of clothes that was his ANBU uniform. He gathered them in his arm and hung them up in the closet. He walked over to the dresser once more and pulled out the velvet box. He grinned and slipped it into one of his many pockets when he heard Sakura open the bathroom door. He went to sit at the edge of the bed when she opened the door. “I like how you decorated the place. Especially the bedroom.”

Sakura smiled as she dried off, “I knew you’d like it. You’re apartment before was simple, so I thought I’d make one room the way you’d like it.”

Lee pointed to the roll of bandages on top of the dresser, “Hand me that, please?”

Sakura handed Lee the roll, “So how was the mission?” She asked as she picked out a red brocade halter top.

He shrugged as he wrapped his hands and fore arms up. “Quick. The man was easy to find. I snuck up behind him and snapped his neck. He didn’t suffer.”

She shook her head as she slipped on panties and a black mini skirt with small slits on each side. “You really should learn how to use a katana.”

Again he shrugged and handed her the roll, “I was never good at it, Sakura-chan and I probably never will be.”

Sakura took the roll from Lee and began to wrap her right upper thigh before putting on her kunai holster. “Why don’t you ask Ten-Ten-san, she’s very good with weapons, right? Or Neji-san? Even Sasuke-kun might help you.”

Lee nodded, “I will ask.” He said as he stood and put on the pouch that held his shuriken. “Are you ready to leave?”

Sakura nodded as she opened the bedroom door.

They left the building and began to walk down the road hand in hand. Along the way Sakura spotted Naruto and Hinata going into Ichiraku.

“Naruto! Hinata-san!” Sakura called, waving for them to come over.

“Sakura-chan! Thick-bro- I mean Lee!” He waved as he pulled Hinata toward the couple. “How have you been?” He asked smiling broadly.

Sakura smiled, “Fine. Lee just got back and we’re headed to Rikku’s, wanna come?”

Naruto turned to Hinata, “What do you think, Hina-chan?” He asked, tilting his head toward her slightly.

Hinata chewed her bottom lip and looked at Sakura and Lee. Sakura was smiling warmly at her, but Lee was looking pleadingly at her and shaking his head. “Naruto, I would like to spend some time with you alone today.” She answered quietly.

“Ah, didn’t get enough last night, huh Hina-chan?” Naruto grinned flirtatiously at her.

Hinata blushed, “Naruto…”

Naruto laughed and kissed Hinata on the cheek, making her blush more. “Hina-chan is so cute!” He exclaimed.

Sakura laughed nervously, “Its ok you two. We understand. We’ll see you some other time, Hm?” She said as she began to walk away, pulling Lee with her.

“Bye!” Naruto called as he waved with one hand and slipped the other around Hinata’s waist and slightly under her shirt.

Hinata blushed deeper.

Lee and Sakura reached the restaurant in a matter of ten minutes, talking about little things while they enjoyed their delicious pancake breakfast. After a few minutes, Sakura excused herself to the bathroom.

Lee fumbled in his pocket for the velvet box. He inhaled deeply to calm his nerves, this was it. He put his head slightly down, closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths. He looked up when he heard Sakura pull out her chair.

“Lee, are you alright?” Sakura looked at him with concern.

He nodded and swallowed. “Sakura, I must ask you something.”

“Yes, what is it?” Sakura still looked at him with worry.

He knelt down on one knee in front of her. Around him he heard gasps and squeals from other people. “Haruno Sakura, will you do me the honor of marrying me?” He opened the box with trembling hands.

Yamanaka Ino had woken up this morning with the hopes of having breakfast with Shikamaru. She would have gotten her wish if the lazy ninja had actually gotten out of bed to answer the door. She had banged on the door for fifteen minutes before yelling insults and curses at him through the door. She had stalked off from his building, determined not to let this spoil the rest of her day. She marched down to Rikku’s, muttering about the slothful ninja all the way. She had planned on going there with Shikamaru, but just because he wanted to be lazy didn’t mean that he would ruin her breakfast there. She wrenched open the door and was surprised to find the whole place silent. She blinked and looked around, soon finding the source of the stillness. Rock Lee was proposing to Sakura. ‘It’s about time’, she thought as she smirked and sat down at an empty table to watch.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Sakura blinked. He was proposing. Rock Lee was proposing to her. She blinked again, “Lee… I’m sorry, but I can’t.” She slowly began to back away.

Lee stared at her, he felt like she had just stabbed him in the heart. Not even when Sabaku no Gaara crushed all of his bones in his arm and leg did it hurt this much. He snapped the box shut and placed it back in his pocket while standing up. With that, he turned and walked out of the restaurant.

Sakura sat back down at the table, stunned.

Ino stared in disbelief at what just happened. She scrambled out of her chair and ran up to her best friend. “What are you doing?” She hissed, “Go after him! Don’t you love him?”

Sakura nodded dumbly, “I’m not ready, why did he ask me to marry him? Why?”

"Sakura, you need to tell him that if you aren’t ready. Go after him Sakura.” Ino ordered.

"But, Ino why did he ask me?” She asked again, starting to sound panicked as she looked at Ino.

“Because he loves you and he deserves an explanation.” Ino tried, but Sakura wasn’t listening. She blew out a frustrated breath and left to look for Lee while Sakura sat and chewed her nails, still wondering why.

Okay kiddies, that’s it for today. I just missed a hair appointment for you guys. Luckily it’s been rescheduled. Ok, so like I said there were numerous changes in this chapter, mainly with the Naruto/Hinata bit and small tidbits here and there. I hope you guys enjoyed that. I do like this chapter better than the first. I think I’ll like the next one even better. Anyways, I got to go get my hair done. It looks like a bird’s nest. Later.
