It had almost been a week since Tenten just admitted to how she felt about Lee. He couldn't believe it, it seemed she was always with Neji or something but him? It was too late for her to have him, Sakura became part of his life now, he was starting to love her now.

Rock Lee laid in his bed throwing a ball when a knock was heard at the door. He answered it as Sakura ran in and hugged him. "Hello, Sakura. How are you?"

She smiled. "I'm good, I just came back from the mall."

"That is great, you look like you have out done yourself again." Rock Lee smiled. "I wish I could have gone."

"Lee, you don't seem to get out that much...You're always..."

"I know, I have not gone everywhere I want to go..." He began to flinch in pain as Sakura turned back around. "I am fine, Sakura. Do not worry."

Sakura began to. "Lee, you're not the same. Everytime we do an extreme sport you're good in, you fall behind and become weak."

Lee hung his head over. "I know, I cannot tell you why the reason I do that..."

Sakura became more frightened. "Is something going on? Lee, I'm worried about you!"

Lee just kept explaining that he was okay and that only lead Sakura to think he was lying. He didn't want her to know about his problem, he would have to miss everything else because of it. It was already affecting him physically and he couldn't do much.

Sakura looked deeply into Lee's eyes, they reflected pain. He tried to move but it was no use, he needed to tell someone right away but that would limit last week here. He didn't want people to panick but it was getting worse.

He changed the subject. He sighed. "So, what are you doing tommorow?"

Sakura still had a worried expression her face. "Um, I guess I was going to go to the beach..."

"That is nice, Tenten said she was going too..." Lee frowned. "Sakura, I have told her about us and she seemed upset."

"Oh...I know how that feels..." Sakura looked at Lee as she put her arm on Lee's shoulder. "Sasuke and I are just friends now."

Lee smiled. "I am glad you are recovering so nicely, a lotus flower has bloomed once more..."

Sakura laughed as she got closer to Lee, he was seeing a difference in their relationship. It was getting very close and he had never felt so happy. In the beginning, it would've never worked out but things were coming together and Sakura gave Lee a chance to be with her.

They laughed so more as Sakura leaned over to kiss him, Lee grabbed her and began to kiss her. They were fully making out as Sakura put her arms around Lee as they moved, the door slowly opened but no one paid attention to the door. Lee gently hugged Sakura as she blushed and kissed Lee with more intensity, they fell on the bed as the door opened wider.

Naruto gently walked in until he tripped over Lee's suitcase and landed in between the both of them. Sakura screamed and jumped out of the bed with Lee falling off, Naruto laughed weakly as he got up and fell on the floor. Sakura was going to kill him.

"Naruto! There is a thing called knocking! Lee and I wanted to be alone!" Sakura growled as she glared at Naruto. "This is embarassing!"

Naruto tried to choke back the laughter. "Sorry, I tripped over the suitcase. We're doing extreme sports again and everyone's out there!"

"I'd love to play but I haven't recovered from last week, Gai is a tough sensei."

Rock Lee smiled. "He works us very hard."

"Well, if you're out then I guess Lee is going..." Lee expression changed as Naruto looked at him. "What's the matter, bushy brows? You're usually up for this..."

"I am unable to, I guess all of last week caught up on me." Lee knew he was lying, he knew he was sick and couldn't do anything like that. "I guess I will be here with Sakura."

Naruto smiled. "Well, you guys are going to miss out!"

He slammed the door behind him as Sakura fell on the bed covering her face in shame. Why did Naruto have to enter at the exact moment they were kissing? It was bad timing for everyone and he made worse by falling into the both of them. Lee began to laugh.

"Sakura, it was not all that bad...It could have been worse.."

"Naruto shouldn't be so stupid. If we're doing that, just leave!" Sakura shook her head and laughed. "It was kind of funny to see him land on the bed."

"Does he usually land, legs apart like that?"

Sakura busted out laughing as she saw the scene play over and over in her head. She hugged Lee as he blushed further, he forgot to turn on the air conditioner in the room and it became hot. Sakura fanned herself as Lee went to go get water, he went to sit down when he dropped the pitcher and fell on the bed holding his side.

"Rock Lee! What's wrong?!?!" Sakura scrambled to remove his top to see what he was hiding. "I need to see it!"

"No, look away!" Lee yelled. "I will have to be in the hospital!"

Sakura tore off Lee's shirt to expose the infection that Lee had. "Rock Lee! When were you going to tell someone about this?!?!"

"It was not this bad, I swear!"

"You need to got an emergancy room now!"

"I-it hurts...

Lee ran for the door and went down the hallway. He couldn't run that fast and he became sluggish and fell to the floor. Sakura jumped on him and gently hit his cheek. There was no response, his breathing was very slow. She screamed as sensei's ran down the hall to see Lee. Gai pushed everyone out of the way and held Lee in his arms.

Blood began to pour out Lee's mouth as Gai wasted no time running to take Lee to the hospital. Sakura began to cry as she ran outside and sobbed, Lee wasn't watching his health again. It wasn't his fault, he didn't know that it would be a full infection the next day.

Sakura ran out of the hotel, she was going straight to the hospital to be with Lee.

X X X

Rock Lee opened his eyes to see that he was in the hospital. Sakura ran her fingers through his hair, he felt like he had a fever and began trying to get up to see Gai-Sensei who was sitting next to him. He tried to get up but he hardly could to sit up.

"Gai-Sensei, I guess I am in trouble...I should of told somebody."

Gai smiled. "It wouldn't have mattered, we would have mistaken the physical symptoms for regular pain...It's not your fault, Lee."

Sakura wiped the sweat from Lee's forhead. "You're going to be okay, you just have an infection." She kissed his head gently. "Don't worry about it."

"I cannot until I know what is going on..."

"Lee! You always so tense, relax." Sakura laughed. "The doctor is coming soon.."

Rock Lee relaxed as drank more water. He was dehydrated. "I guess I do feel better, I do not understand why I became so sick..."

"We'll find out soon." Gai replied, he looked at Lee. "As Sakura said, you need to relax."

The nurse walked in as food was brought to Rock Lee, he pushed it aside as he laid back in bed. He felt a pain where the infection was and felt like he was going to throw up, Gai noticed a change on his face as he reached for the pan and began to throw up. Sakura's eyes widened as she saw blood in the pan and called the nurse.

Lee was fine after a few minutes and looked at Sakura with distress. "S-Sakura, what is going on with me?" His voice went quiet. "I do not feel good, everything hurts."

Sakura petted his hair. "I know, Lee. I'm going to be right here with you..."

"You were supposed to go out tonight, it is my fault." Rock Lee sighed sadly.

"It didn't matter, we were only going to be on the boat for a few hours..." she paused. "Don't blame yourself, I'm staying right here."

Rock Lee blushed. "I appreciate it, I really appreciate it, Sakura."

"I have to be here, a girlfriend is to stand by her boyfriend when something bad happens."

"What? You are saying..." Rock Lee stopped, their relationship was changing. It was almost serious. "Oh, Sakura...I never stopped hoping this would happen."

She smiled. "I'm so glad, Lee."

Sakura kissed him on the cheek as Lee blushed some more, he was lucky to have such a caring girlfriend. Sakura held his hand gently and as he went to take a nap, she thought it was cute to seeing him sleeping. The drama had made him overwhelmed.

Rock Lee knew he may have to be in the hospital for a few days but it didn't matter, he would have his Sakura coming in everday to see him and visit him, he couldn't help but think that he was having the best vacation out of everyone else.

That's chapter 5, Please R&R.
