He usually thought about the things he had done earlier that day. His training for example. He'd try to come up with different ideas that would give him a chance of winning a match against his rival-Neji Hyuuga.
Lee was no idiot. He knew when he couldn't defeat an opponent. But, he knew if he tried hard enough, he'd be able to beat natural talent with hard work. Neji wasn't an idiot either. He could determine if anyone was worth his time. Why waste chakra on a meaningless battle? Especially when the outcome was a given?
Lee always enjoyed his walks. The weather was always nice- cool and refreshing against his face. The silence throughout Konoha was also nice. He could think without any annoying distractions.
About a block from his house, barely passing an alley where the neighborhood garbage can was kept, he heard a somewhat familiar voice call out.
"Hey..."
Lee stopped dead in his tracks, turning around.
"Who is there?" He asked, cautiously.
He searched his surroundings. He looked to his left, his right, up and yes, he even looked down. But, he didn't see anyone.
'Must have been my imagination.' He thought as he turned back around.
"Whoa!" Lee shouted, surprised to find himself mere centimeters from another's face.
"I am sorry, excuse me." Lee said politely, but the man in his way didn't move.
He tried again. "Excuse me, but I need to-"
"Its been awhile... Rock Lee."
Lee blinked. "Huh?"
The man stepped closer and Lee, utterly confused, backed away from him. The man had led Lee under a light post, where he could get a better look at him.
He had wild, blood red hair that stuck out in every direction and beautiful sea foam green eyes. He also had thick, black rings around his eyes. On the left side of his forehead where his hair parted, lay a tattoo of a character that read 'Love'.
A look of realization crossed Lee's face, his mouth agape. "Gaara."
Gaara smirked.
"What do you want from me?" Lee demanded, narrowing his eyes.
"I wanted to say... I'm sorry."
Lee's jaw dropped. 'No way... is he for real?!' There was NO way that this was happening. The person who nearly killed him, had it not been for Gai-sensei, was actually apologizing?! Lee stared at him with a disbelievingly.
He shook his head. "Okay. Now if you do not mind, I need to get going." He brushed past Gaara but stopped again when he heard Gaara speak.
"I also... have this strange feeling about you. I know that I've felt this before... I just don't remember.."
"Feeling? What.. feeling?" Lee asked curiously, walking back over to the redhead.
"...The heart's desire to serve... and protect someone..." Gaara answered, remembering Yashamaru's words. "Love..."
Lee's eyes widened. "What?! You... love me?"
Gaara looked at him as if saying 'Duh, that's what I just said isn't it?'
Lee looked down. "I.." He started.
Lee looked at Gaara, meeting his gaze. "I am flattered, but..."
Gaara frowned. He knew this wasn't going to turn out the way he wanted it to.
He continued. "But I am sorry, the feeling is not... mutual. My dislike for you.. runs deep."
"That's why I'm here. To apologize." Gaara said, trying to get Lee to change his mind about him. He didn't want Lee to continue thinking of him as some.. horrible demon.
"I do not accept!" Lee declared, storming off. He was going home, his peaceful walk had been ruined.
"Ungh!" Gaara clutched his head. 'You were never loved Gaara... Love only yourself... Fight only for yourself...' "Yashamaru..."
He was tired of people being frightened of him, hating his existence. He was tired of being called names and people running from him. It wasn't his fault he was the way he was... but they didn't see it that way. Its human nature to fear those who are different after all...
Gaara grabbed Lee by the arm and shoved him into the alley beside them. Lee slammed against the wall where he was held tightly by Gaara.
"W-what are you doing?!" Lee asked, his eyes full of fear and confusion.
"S-stop it! Those.. those eyes... Why?!" Gaara screamed, remembering the looks given to him by the people of his own village.
"I'm not leaving until you're mine!" He snarled in Lee's face.
Before Lee even had a chance to fight him off, Gaara held his arms above his head. Gaara inched closer, wanting to kiss Lee's soft lips. As he was about to get what he wanted, Lee jerked his head to the side.
Gaara was highly offended and violently pulled Lee down to the ground, who landed hard on his back.
"Wrong move Lee. You'll regret it." Gaara kicked him hard in the stomach.
"Uh!" Lee grabbed his stomach, rolling onto his side. ' What.. is going on? Why is he doing this?'
Gaara, using his foot, pushed on Lee's back, making him roll over completely. Now that Lee was lying on his stomach, Gaara sat on his ass, straddling him.
"Get off of me Gaara, please!" Lee said, trying to roll back over.
Gaara grabbed Lee by his hair and slammed his face into the ground.
"Gah!" Lee cried out."
"Don't make me hurt you." Gaara warned.
'As if you have not already!' He thought as he wiped his now bleeding nose.
"Please.. Do not do this!" Lee begged.
Gaara punched Lee in the mouth, giving him a busted lip. "Shut up!" He pulled out a kunai and ripped his jumpsuit and legwarmers to shreds.
"No! Please!!" Lee screamed, tears beginning to fall from his eyes.
Again, Gaara punched him. He gave Lee several beatings along his back and arms. Lee was his, no one else's and he'd do whatever it takes to get Lee to realize that.
"Stop! Please... Just stop!"
Gaara ignored his plea and forced himself in between Lee's legs. He reached beneath Lee, stroking his member.
Lee whimpered softly. There was nothing he could do against Gaara. If he tried, he'd probably be killed. He felt so helpless...
Gaara pulled out his own member, shoving himself into Lee.
"GAHH-!!" Lee screamed in agony but was silenced by a hard slap to the face.
He growled at him. "You'd better keep quiet.. or you'll wake everyone."
"I- I do not care!"
Gaara gave Lee hard, fast thrusts. He didn't even give Lee time to adjust to the feeling of someone being inside him. He pounded deep into Lee, and enjoyed every second of it. To him, Lee was warm and the tightness squeezed him brilliantly...
Lee felt himself having a mental breakdown. He was crying, almost uncontrollably. What was that rule? Shinobi must never show their feelings no matter how bad the situation? Hopefully this was an exception... He could feel blood trailing down his inner thigh and he knew Gaara was ripping him apart.
Gaara quickened his pace, thrusting hard and fast as he finally shot his load deep into Lee. He pulled out of him, feeling satisfied. As he put himself away, he licked his lips. "You're mine."
Lee weakly faced him and shook his head. "No..."
Gaara slapped him again. "This will remind you." He pulled out yet another kunai and carved the letters M, I, N, E into Lee's back.
Lee bit his lip, preventing himself from letting out a cry. He didn't want to upset Gaara further.
Kneeling down, Gaara raised Lee's chin. He placed a kiss on his lips. Surprisingly, it wasn't hard or forceful. Instead, it was loving and very passionate and because of that, Lee... returned the kiss.
Gaara pulled away and hit him in the back of his neck. Lee fell unconscious and Gaara walked out of the alley, as if nothing had happened.
