Sakura peered as hard as she could through the dust. Suddenly, out of it, she could see someone standing! He didn't look as big as Naruto so she figured Rock Lee had won! Then the smoke cleared a little more and she saw she was mistaken. There were two other bodies on the ground around this other figure. Sakura looked to the left of the standing figure and saw Naruto facedown on the ground, looking exhausted. She then looked to the right and saw Lee on the ground just as exhausted. Finally her eyes traveled to whoever it was that had just appeared. Her jaw dropped as she saw who it was.

"SASUKE?!?!?" She cried out.

She had enough time to think, "What the hell is going on?" before she fainted dead away.

Meanwhile, blowing through the village, an innocent looking cloud of dust moved across the sky. One could almost hear a discontented sigh coming from the cloud. If you looked hard enough you could even see what appeared to be a misty figure in the center of the dust. And if you listened beyond the wail of the wind, you could even hear a voice.

"Where are you? The one I first touched..."

The figure remembered fondly the first time she had touched the small figure of that ninja boy. Then she had been bundled up and tossed away like nothing. And so she had searched looking for him. She had thought she had found him wearing green, but she had been mistaken. And then again, she thought she had him, wearing blue. But once again she was mistaken.

"Where are you?" She whispered, floating through the sky above the village.

Back in the clearing, Lee and Naruto were just waking up.

"Oh my head!" Naruto complained. The last thing he remembered was the collision between his Rasengan and Lee's Lotus. So who had won?

He stood shakily up and looked around. He saw Lee bent over an unconcious Sakura. But there was someone else with him. Someone that looked very familiar...

"SASUKE?!?!?" He yelled out.

Both Sasuke and Lee turned to him. It looked like he had interupted one of them, but he didn't care!

"Just what the heck are you doing here?!?" he yelled out, pointing an accusing finger at him. "You leave for all this time and then just come back, looking like that?!?!?"

Sasuke was about the same size, height wise, as Lee, but not nearly as muscular. Thanks to his leaner build he was able to wear a bigger version of his usual outfit.

"Do not interupt Naruto!" Lee said. "Sasuke was about to tell me something very important!"
