[ That's kind of sweet, but what does it mean? ]

You got an x-ray done today? Why didn't you ask me to come with you?

[ Do you know how she deals with heart failure? By being a boss ass bitch about it. ]

Ehh??!! What's this!

[ And that laugh. What a creepy message. ]

[On Christmas Eve, a present is brought to Lily's door by hand. He feels like he's followed the Christmas customs perfectly; he brings a miniature Christmas tree with him and sets it up in front of the door, then sets his package up under the tiny tree. He also drops some fake white hairs on the ground, which he believes are supposed to be a symbol that the mythical Santa was here.

Then, he leaves a knock on the door and starts to leave, while laughing in as bombastic a tone as he can muster, "HOHOHOHOHOHOHO!"

The package itself is wrapped in green wrapping paper that has been bedazzled. Attached to the package is a card addressed to Sakura.]

"Dear Sakura-san,

These past weeks, the thought that has made me the happiest has been knowing that you are here, alive and well. I am so glad that you were saved. And I know that with those of us who are here, we will find a solution.

I have learned a lot just from knowing you, Sakura-san. You have helped me through my most trying times, and you have inspired me to become even stronger. I can only admire everything you've managed to accomplish with your team, while being the kindest person I know!

In accordance with this holiday, I wish to reflect that with an offering of gifts. I hope that they convey my heart's song! Please take care of yourself, Sakura-san.

With love,
Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast, Rock Lee"

[The signature is surrounded with a series of hearts.

The package itself includes several gifts: A set of customized shuriken and kunai (the latter bearing pink bands around the handles bearing the l春野 symbol), some weights/small training tools, pink bracelet, a framed photo of Gai-Sensei, a set of pink leather gloves, a pink scarf, a bouquet of daffodils and some coupons for free ramen at the place where he and Naruto work. There's also a number of handmade 'coupons' that Sakura is to cash in with herself, to grant herself 'a free day of relaxation'.]

[Shortly after Lee returns from photography hell, he shouts out a voicemail.]

Sakura-san!!! A springtime of youth miracle has occurred! Please contact me soon!!!

...

...If you cannot tell, this is Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast, Rock Lee!!

[ She could tell. ] What is it, Lee-san?

[ Contacting her is the last thing he wanted to do because he's supposed to be able to take care of himself, but he's not stupid -she's a medic and he refuses to go to a hospital. They'd ask too many questions... but she knows better than to do that, which is why he's chosen to seek her out. His voice is low and a bit strained, laced with pain but the words are clear despite the harsh breaths that punctuate the air between words. ]

Sakura...?

[ Does he need to tell her who he is? He really hopes not, because that'd just be a waste of time, and if she can't figure it out then what good is she? Why couldn't he have learned any medical ninjutsu? Then he wouldn't have to do this! ]

You'd better fucking be around...

[ Please excuse his language, he got himself in a bind and she's the only one capable of doing the repairs without asking too many questions, since he doesn't have Karin to fall back on. ]

What's the matter, Sasuke-kun? [ Oh, she's around alright.

At any other given time she may have reprimanded him for cursing at her, she can pick up on the signs of a person in pain easily enough to know that's the source of his frustration rather than herself. ]

Never mind that.

[ The sounds in the background give away her intent to rush out to meet him. ] Where are you?
