"   ": Talking
'    ': Thinking

• Third person Pov: Lee •

Tenten has shown up unexpectedly at Lee's house at about 7pm. She asked if she could stay a bit. Lee had lost track of time Talking to Tenten on the balcony of his room. They had been talk about nonsense. Just anything  random

"Lee...There is something I've been wanting to tell you..."
Tenten said to him with a sligh look of embarrassment painted across her face.

Lee looked over at her in question, he had not realized how close she had gotten to him.

"Lee...I....I..."
All of the sudden Tenten leaned in close to his face, slowly and gently placing her soft lips on his. The kiss broke suddenly at the sound of rushing footsteps down the stairs. In a panic Lee rushed, frantically looking for the time.

The clock read "8:10 pm"

"Oh my god" Lee said out loud starting to piece together the events and coming to a realization of what just happened. He then turned and walked up to Tenten.

"Tenten....I....I don't feel that way about you."
He said before he turned and sprinted down the stairs to confirm the identity of the easedropper. He noticed Gaara's belongings. His shoes and bag. He sighed as he grabbed Gaara shoes and bag. A small box fell out of the bag and onto the floor.

It was wrapped in a dark green paper with a tag attached to the side. He picked up the small box and carefully read the small tag attached to it.

"Too Lee" he read allowed to himself. He slowly opened the box with his name on it. After removing the paper there was a beautiful black watch with a small compas st the top. It seemed to be pointing to the bag in his other hand. He carefully shuffled through the bag the belonged to Gaara.

He then found an identical black watch. He knew exactly what it was. He had rembered seeing them at the shop when they went to buy for Neji. Lee had remarked how he had always wanted someone to share the watches with. Tenten had volunteered but Lee shot her offer down.

Lee ran outside and started off down the street to Gaara's house. He soon made his way to the front door. He knocked on it furiously screaming for someone to open the door. A half asleep Temari came and opened the door to see the frantic Lee standing outside holding Gaara's belongings.

"Woah woah bushy brows chill out what's going on?"
Temari asked inviting Lee in and take Gaara's belongings.

"Gaara....my house....he...he ran...I-I need to see him"
Lee said franticly looking around expecting to see Gaara.

"So you're who he got all dressed up for." Temari said smirking at Lee.

"What?..."
Le response in confusion.

"Yeah, he got dressed up all nice and he wouldn't tell us why. He ran off earlier and we haven't seen him since."

"He...He isn't here?"
Lee asked concerned.

"Don't worry I sent Kankuro to spy on him. He should be back soon."

No later then 5 minutes after Temari said that Kankuro showed up at the door with someone whom was supposed to be Gaara. It infact was him but he looked so different. It looked like the life had beed sucked out of him.

Temari got up off the couch and ran to Gaara.

"Woah what happened to you little bro you look like someone took a vacuum, shoved it down your throat, and sucked the life out of ya." Temari said sarcasticly

Gaara ignored her and walked into the living room of his house. He then looked up and saw Lee sitting on the couch. His expression changed from an empty one to one full of anger and rage.

"What's he doing here..?"
He asked looking at Temari.

"Heh well he came looking for you..."
But before she could finish Gaara turned to Lee and spoke only one word.

"Leave"
He said looking down and starting to walk off to his room

"But Gaara I-"
Lee was cut off by Gaara raising his hand in the air signaling for him to stop talking as he went to his room and slamming the door shut.
