The Wolf And I

Chapter Twelve

- Dream -

Haku ran into the room where I was getting prepared for the fight.

'MOMMY! MOMMY!'

I moved my katana away from where he almost fell at. I picked him up right before he fell onto his knees. Mom walked into the room.

'Sorry he got out of my arms.'

'It's okay. I need him right now anyway.'

Mom sat beside me.

'I found out who you will be killing. Do you wish to know?'

'Yes.'

'It's Lee. Dear, me and your father fought and fought when we found out but the concil will not give it. Their desicion is final. I'm sorry. I know you wanted to marry Lee.'

I hugged tighter. I sighed.

'Haku sweetheart I need you to go with grandma.'

I kissed his forehead and he giggled. I smiled a sad smile knowing he would never know his father. I put him in mom's arms and I kissed her on the cheek.

'I love you both and I will come back to you Haku. I promise.'

I grabbed my katana and walked out of the room. I slowly walked in the hallway to the inside of the arena. The crowd was cheering for me. Lee was being held by chains and had two guards on each side. I slowly walked to the middle of the arena. A man walked to stand between me and Lee.

'Today is the fight between TenTen Hatake and Rock Lee. Let the fight begin.'

The guards let the chains go and grabbed the man before they disppeared.

'Lee I'm sorry for everything. I wanted to tell you about me being a wolf hunter but I just couldn't. Please forgive me.'

'No. I will never forgive you.'

Lee turned into his wolf form and jumped at me. I rolled away and Lee tried to jump at me again but I disppeared. I reppeared behind him.

'Please forgive me Lee. Please watch over Haku. I love you.'

I silt Lee's throat but I must of not hit his vein right because he turned around and jumped on me. He clawed my back and I grabbed my katana that had fallen beside me. I then cut his whole head off. I pushed Lee's body off of me and I stood up. I walked a couple of steps and fell. The last time I heard was the crowd cheering and my father yelling my name.

- End Of Dream -

I woke up. I was sweating and had tears running down my face. I haven't had dreams like that since Lee died.

It was eight in the moring and no one was up yet. Tsunade canceled school for a week because she could.

I got out of bed, grabbed my ANBU sweatshirt, also grabbed my phone and keys, and walked out the door.

I needed to talk to someone.

I walked out of the house and got into the my Camero. I plugged my phone into the USB chord and chose Room 401 by Bullet For My Valentine.

I let the music pound into my ears while I was driving. When the song ended I found myself at the cemetery. I got out and wandered to the grave I knew so well.

I kneeled in front of the grave and reached out to touch the letters on the gravestone.

Rock Lee

November 27, 1994 - March 24, 2010

Loved by everyone including his love TenTen Hatake and his son Haku Hatake

I was crying again. Two years ago I had to kill the love of my life and the father of my child just to become a wolf hunter.

I put my head on the gravestone and cried.

"Lee I'm so sorry. I wish I hadn't killed you. I wish Haku knew you. I'm starting to have dreams again about you. Tonight I dreamt of killing you over again. It's so painful Lee."

I sit back and wipe most of my tears away.

"Lee I'm the Queen of the wolf hunters now and our son is the prince. I even met some who loves me like you did. I hope you're watching over us now. I have to go now but maybe next time I'll bring Haku with me. Good-bye Lee."

I got up from my kneeling postion and slowly walked back to my car. I got in and checked my phone. Neji had texted me.

TenTen where r u? Haku has been asking 4 u?

I text back.

Just had to see an old friend. Be back soon.

I put my phone down and drive back to Neji's house.
