~Third Person's P.O.V~

"Kari! Wanna train??" A blonde teenager asked his best friend, running up to her as she was coming out of Ichiraku's.

"Ah, sorry Naruto. Not right now, I already told Lee that I'd meet him and spare with him, youthfully at that." Kari responded with a bright smile.

A sigh escaped Naruto, "Don't start with the youthfulness crap Kari. Pleeease don't."

Kari laughed and nodded, "Fine, I still have to go though. I'll see you later Naruto."

Kari and Naruto waved goodbye and walked to where Team Gai's training grounds were. When Kari got there though, she only saw Gai-sensei and Lee.

"Hey Gai-sensei, hey Lee. Where's TenTen and Neji?" Kari asked, once she was close enough to know that they'd hear her.

Rock Lee and Gai turned their attention to her and Gai-sensei answered, "Neji actually grew up and asked TenTen on a date. It was very youthful!" Gai smiled and so did Lee. His smile was slightly off though.. Hm.

"I'll leave you two youthful souls to train! See you later Lee, Kari!" Gai-sensei exclaimed as he poofed away. He probably left to go bother Kakashi-sensei with their 'rivalry'.

"Alright Lee! Let's train!" She smiled at him.

He smiled back, "Yes! Let us train!"

The two teenagers trained in Taijutsu for hours. They've been training for nine hours now. Of course they took breaks but, nine hours is still nine hours.

"Lee! I think I need to stop for the night.." Kari trailed off, falling to one knee.

Lee rushed over to Kari, "Are you okay Kari?" She simply nodded, trying to catch her breath.

Then, out of the blue, Lee picked her up. "Lee! What are you doing?" Kari questioned, still a little out of breath and light-headed.

Lee smiled down at her, "I am taking you home! You are too tired to walk so I will carry you!"

"Oh, uh, thank you Lee." Kari returned a small smile before looking away so Lee wouldn't see the blush that was forming on her cheeks.

Kari didn't understand why her cheeks felt like they were burning. She didn't know why it felt like her stomach was in knots and butterflies at the same time. She didn't know why she didn't want to leave Lee's arms. The last thing she didn't know.. was that Lee felt the exact same way.

After a few moment, the two Taijutsu-crazed teens began coming up to Kari's home. Both were relieved and saddened at the same time. It meant the knots and butterflies may go away. Neither were sure they wanted it to though.

"Well.. Here you are Kari." Lee spoke as he walked up to her home and set her down.

Kari smiled brightly at Lee, "Thank you Lee. I really appreciate it."

Lee returned the smile with a nod, "You are welcome Kari. Thank you for sparring so youthfully with me! It was a lot of fun!"

Kari giggled and nodded her head, "Anytime Lee. I had a lot of fun too."

As Kari turned around to open her door, she stopped. She had to do something. Something that her heart was telling her to do. For once, she listened to it.

Kari turned around to Lee, "Kari, is something wro-" Lee was frozen when Kari kissed him on the cheek. A bright red blush rose to both shinobi's faces.

"T-Thanks again Lee." Kari smiled again, blushing still.

"Y-You are welcome Kari." Lee returned the smile as well as the kiss which cause both to blush harder.

"I.. I'll see you tomorrow.. Right Lee?" Kari asked quietly.

Lee nodded, "Yes, but Kari, will you be my girlfriend? I promise to always protect you with my life in the most youthful way possible!"

Kari fought back the darker blush that was threatening to arise and stared at Lee in surprise and shock but answered none-the-less, "I'd love to Lee! W-Whatever may come with being your girlfriend." A big smile rose onto Lee's face which brought a big smile to Kari's lips as well.

"Yes!! This is the most youthful day ever! Thank you Kari!" Lee kissed her cheek again and ran to find his sensei to shout about youthfulness.

Kari shook her head at him, laughing a little as she turned around again and went into her house to sleep, thinking of her wonderful day.

I'm sorry it's so short @jaidenallen! Dx I'm just not very good with Lee because I don't care for him a whole lot so I'm not really experienced with him ^-^"

I hope you still enjoyed it though! :3 I thought it was still pretty cute ^^"
