Hi again! This has been calling out to me to write it so I am. Thank you SO much if you reviewed! I LOVE YOU! I'm thinking of re-naming this 'Face Down' after the song by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. I actually do love Nejilee but I love Gaalee as well. All in all I just love Lee! I'm sorry this is so short; I've got the next one planned out

Warnings: Yaoi present angst, past fluff, Yuri

Pairings: Nejilee, Gaalee

Lee walked around the old training ground. He had not been here since Gai-sensei and Ten-ten had died. A stranger watching would have seen an extremely slender boy with silky short black hair with large, obsidian eyes. One of his old friends would have the sadness in those eyes. He was wearing a dark green Chinese style shirt with black trousers and his usual bandages in place. Neji-sama had chosen the outfit, but let the bandages stay. He said they were convenient. Lee stood staring at a post for a while, then, making up his mind to have at least this part of his life to himself; he began training. As he mercilessly attacked the innocent peace of wood, he thought back to how it used to be. Before the plague, before the deaths of their team mate and sensei, things had been good.

"Pleassssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Neji-kun," Lee begged, eyes watering, "We have to take him in! He'll die if we don't!" Neji looked at the baby squirrel in Lee's outstretched hands, then back to the pleading face of his love.

"All right," said Neji, "but don't you dare- Lee, why are you looking at me as if I've grown an extra head?" Lee had placed the baby squirrel gently back in the towel lined box.

"THE POWER OF YOUTH HAS AFFECTED NEJI-KUN!!!!!!!" Lee cried, hugging the stoic boy, "YOU HAVE FINALLY LEARNED KINDNESS!" Neji smirked and lunged forward, pinning Lee to the ground and tickling him into submission.

"We'll see who's 'nice' now."

Lee felt something wet on his face. He told himself that it was sweat. Anyone watching would have sworn they were tears.

Kankurou rolled his eyes as he saw Temari and Hinata making out in front of the kazekage building. He sighed and pushed past them.

"I do NOT feel like watching you two play tonsil hockey today!" he growled as he stomped into the building. The abrupt manner and absence of a lewd comment made her suspicious. She disentangled herself from her girlfriend of two years and followed him inside.

"All right little bro, there has to be a reason you're pmsing today." He glared at her but said nothing. She smirked at him.

"Are you trying to imitate Gaara?"

"Who's trying to imitate me?" Gaara asked, coming form out of nowhere. Temari was sure if there was a scare-the-shit-out-of-you-by-appearing-from-thin-air club, Gaara would be the president.

"I am NOT imitating Gaara!" Kankurou snarled as he walked away, "I just wish people would stop living on the past."

I know this is crap. I'm planning on making this several chapters long and am starting work on the third.
