as a familiar part of her silhouette. The wind increased suddenly waved his jacket behind him. Lee forced himself to calm down and stay hidden behind the large decorative terra-cotta pot was giving some shelter on the roof of his choice. The utility pole that was on it was the home of Gaara, the highest point in the damn town, no less, and all were Sunakagure tumbling sharply at the foot of Gaara, but even if he fell, would be able to catch himself was the Kazekage, after all, and also not going to fall first, even if the wind was tugging hard. Lee
thoroughly checked his water pack a bag, rations and other weapons. He had a thick sasto now. Lee had not seen him in two days and I missed him more than they reasonably should by mere forty-eight hours. Forty-eight hours after Gaara was cut in mid-sentence, stood up, walked slowly to the window and in a voice full of contention and expectation, he said, comes a sand-storm was the first
storm of the season was early autumn, and that there was much to organize. The herbarium had to be closed and wooded, the houses and roofs caulking, storm shutters verified peripheral patrols warned ...
Lee had been out of the way Gaara by tacit agreement, only making sure that her boyfriend knew I could call Jiel was covered by clothing, coat, gloves and veil, and with the goggles on.
In his mind, was rehearsing the various scenarios that had become familiar during the previous storm seasons. Talon would be on your roof for a while after the storm hit (hopefully not be in that damn electric pole), while his chakra rose and became wild and dangerous, reminding the Old Lee Gaara. Then the Kazekage would get sneak to the storm.
And Lee would follow at a safe distance. The distant figure
casually stepped off the cross bar of the post in the air, giving Lee a mild heart attack. Gaara dropped gracefully on the roof, approachingto feel something big and dark in the distance. He walked cautiously forward, and a granite wall stood out from the flowing sand.
Ah, then I knew where I was, Lee thought with pride. He acknowledged that wall in particular, a piece of rock set as a windbreak wall that led to the fury of storms away-wait a minute, that meant that Gaara was going into the canyon and desert beyond. Damn,
Lee frowned, turning on itself and looking over his shoulder. The wind seemed to be blowing from all directions at once, shaking, ripping the cloak around his legs. Through the fury of the storm, Gaara's chakra seemed to come from his back. But Lee had been ssar that was many feet away. The wind was dying.
That meant he was in trouble.
Lee gulped and looked over his shoulder. The chakra was wild, pulsating around him now. I still could not see much, only the shadowy figure of the rocks a few meters, and the wall of sand and wind around. He turned full-
Gaara was standing right in front of him in his personal space.
Lee let out a gasp and jumped back instinctively. Gaara did not move. All around, the wind seemed heavy with sand laugh savagery.
- G-Gaara? - A tremor of tension ran through the body of Lee. Gaara had always ignored during stormsprevious.
- Why am I even surprised? -
Gaara's voice, barely audible over the howling gale, had an unusual edge of irony. Combined with the cruel and broken upward curl of her mouth. His eyes were wide, with small, hard eyes, and seemed to feel the sand hitting against him.
took a step closer. Lee took a step back, trying to luciese casual. I could feel the presence of rocky cliff behind him cornered.
"I guess I'm not surprised about that, Gaara came to a halt or even a foot of Lee. His eyes narrowed and his smile broadened. A finger rose slowly, as if retase Lee to escape. Touched the hem of hisglasses-always disobey my orders, "Um ...
-
- Why I like it? - Gaara's finger fell off the glasses and pulled the veil from the face of Lee.
Lee could not answer for a reason purely technical. Quickly raised his hand to cover your nose to avoid breathing dust and sand. The other hand was on her veil to be worn again.
There was a gentle "woosh" and Lee's ears suddenly rang.
opened his mouth, his fingers still fishing in the dark on the edge of her veil, which was hanging loose around his face instead of flying right by the wind. When he opened his mouth like a fish suddenly thrown on the ground, Gaara stepped forward and raised his spectacles, placedthese circumstances, it might try to launch it just for the sheer fun of it if Lee got too close.
But Gaara had never been returned and come to him.
Lee looked at another man as clinically as he could. Gaara did not look menacing, not even looked as if he were angry at Lee, even though his first words. Jounin was studying and looked pretty sound, although the pulse and the waning of his chakra told Lee that he had no control seemed. Looked ... different. His hair was wild and the wind was blowing, and it seemed a shade more severe in the half light red, his eyes wide open and fixed in a strange way, his mouth curved, more expressive than usual, but with quunderground-
- mouse? - Lee swelled before his brain could tell her to shut her mouth.
The ghost of a strange smile Gaara moved his lips briefly. Mouse, "he muttered power emanating from it seemed to curl around Lee, mocking the jounin with the difference between its levels, but maybe ... - Something
fluctuated by Gaara's face, a frown, then the odd look was back again and grabbed Gaara's grip slowly layer Lee.
"Maybe we can play. Show me you're not a mouse. I know you can. That would be fun Gaara's voice was not monotonous, but inflections that Lee had never heard before.
- Play? -Lee said cautiously - What do you mean? -
-A training match. Whenever you're chasing me by one of Gaara's eyes twitched sideways briefly. Expression flashes lit her face and disappeared too soon for the follow Lee as if he were listening Gaara objections, encouragement and laughter of the wind that Lee could not hear - What do you think? -
-I ... -
-O you can go-
Lee found himself pressed against the rock ledge, her hand disdainfully pushing Gaara back-we train or you can go, but I'll have you following me like a little mouse-fist it pushed back as counterpoint.
For a second, Leealmost tempted. His heart beat faster, punched their fists into their accounts at the thought of going for Gaara when the latter could break out and stop being so terrified of hurting Lee ... well, that the "Mouse" burned a little. But no. Lee was not so crazy, or was so stupid. Gaara fight in this condition would be too dangerous, and if Lee was hurt, Gaara would blame himself.
-Gaara, we can not train, we are in the middle of a sandstorm, said in a reasonable tone.
Gaara's lips twitched as he backed away, dropping her hands from the bag and turning with disdain Lee "Then go, Leaf. Run, and do not stop running until you get home-
CHTMLXin percent, for he had heard once before Gaara laugh, rather like that, and Lee had almost lost the use of their limbs and their lives as a result.
But the laughter turned into a more relaxed laugh ... but still out of Gaara usually serious. Lo hizo sonar un poco como Kankuro. The look he was giving Lee was strange, but it was manic, and a sense of creeping danger of Lee returned to acceptable levels.
-Care
my back. Lee. Lee ... This is the only place where I need to take care of their backs. Not here. They can not catch me here, "
Lee was about to ask a question, one of many, but cautiously closed mouth and eyes when a fast wind and sandy barrier burst into Gaara. Lee phuman ites. The sand would suction the blood from their bodies before they come near to thirty meters
-Huh ... - Lee sneezed when some dust tickled his nose - Who ...? -
Gaara quickly turned away from Lee and threw his hands forward, his hands are claws.
-should have known their limits. They should not have tried to kill me, are too weak! Never had a chance! - Gaara shouted suddenly, and the sand storm and cried with him.
Spina of power that followed made her sound like a bell housing. A momentary rush of wind and sand swept through it. Lee was beaten against the rocks and sank, happy to have something behind it diese strength. He stayed crouched as the wind subsided, the sand drifted to the floor, curled and played at the foot of the Kazekage, dancing for him as he looked.
"Now they're dead," said Gaara-All died, and I never made even a scratch. And the rest of them left me alone, were terrified ... But you're not afraid of me. Right? -
slightly insecure
A note had come into the voice of Gaara when he looked back, and Lee had stumbled on the words to answer - No! No, of course not
"Well ... Because ... I can ... - Gaara's face had remained quiet, with open eyes ..." I can protect us. I can protect-
"Oh, that's good, um, Gaara," quien ... -
Gaara turned and crouched in front of Lee before the latter could be more than a muffled murmur of surprise. Lee lost his balance, trying to manage their reactions to fight or run, and sat down with a bang. The power emanating from Gaara murky, one thing almost palpable. Lee had never seen him move so fast before.
Gaara's eyes were febrile, had a look of concentration on his face and question - Do you understand? Lee! Do you understand? -
-Uh ... -
- I can protect us! We never hurt! I can protect us both! See? See?! -
Lee, with his mouth hanging, he looked at her lover. Hands gripped her shoulders and shook him violently, hacs that were not in the center of the town, Lee thought, his heart still hammering surprise. That raw power stroke could have shot down a house. Or maybe not; taper Suna houses protected them against the strongest winds of a storm, and should have an absorbent or reflecting some of that intensity-Lee was fortunate that this last has not been tested.
"He is ... my ... - Gaara repeated, throaty.
then turned to Lee, and apparently "they" were forgotten, whoever had been. Gaara concentration was solely on Lee. Lee I remained sitting on the rock, ignoring their survival instincts were telling him that arches its casual air, reached theand your fingers.
"I've never had anyone to be mine before ... -
Gaara's eyes fell to Lee's throat to his chest. His hands followed his gaze, pushed aside the thick and dragged her palms and fingers down her sternum with the brazen Lee delight of a child who has been told not to touch, but was playing anyway.
A moment later, that same hand was at Lee's chin, pulling his head up. So fast! Lee blinked, more in surprise than pain, although if it had been an average person, the tug would have hurt a bit.
"But you had to be you. You see it. Right? -
This was another different aspect of Gaara. There were atancestral go cold on him now, and his eyes held the wisdom of crows on a battlefield.
- What? - Lee whispered and wondered why we still bother to keep a foot in that conversation, if you could call it that.
-Had to Be You Gaara's voice floated with ease and accuracy with low tones of steel "The others would not dare. They are scared of me, "Gaara said
with cynical satisfaction, which made batting Lee. Apparently this version of Gaara did not mind the fear that generated it sounded as if you enjoyed.
"And there are many who would challenge me like you do. Who would have the guts to do it. Maybe Naruto. But he was also afraidsesivo, and something in the unblinking gaze of Gaara Lee made swallowed and looked, fascinated.
"Even when I was in the dark, living only for myself, yet I noticed you, Rock Lee. During the Chuunin exam. You were the first. Touched me. I did feel pain. Were glorious-
fingers suddenly released him. Then it rose to touch the nose of Lee, his cheeks, his lips ...
"After that I wanted to kill you so hard," he added Gaara, his voice soft with longing and shooting himself with a malice that was so pure it was, while, strangely innocent.
Lee did the same, cooled by both the dark desire in his voice as the words.
- ... but he went ahead and give meofesor. Something. Well, was not the same thing at all, not the same kind of love most loved Gaara, but it sounded wrong to put it in those terms ...
With that said, arguing semantics at this point would be disastrous. And really, really stupid.
"You love me," was a statement, but after she stalked him ever a hint of fear and question again captured the attention of Lee "And you dare. I dared to reach me and touch me again, and even closer-
The whispering wind and sand around her, the mindless fury of the storm seemed far more distant than a few feet. Gaara's words fell into the low tone, near-silent, with pauses between phrases as if other voices,were not heard, whispering in his mind. "I'm touched. Opened the door. I did not. I had no idea ... how could you make me feel-
-Um, Gaara ... -
A kiss interrupted the murmur shy of Lee. It was hard, tooth and unexpectedly pinched her lip. Lee was surprised, and licked the little twinge without thinking when Gaara leaned back. Green eyes were fixed on her tongue and mouth Gaara opened in a "hah" silent, breathless.
Lee suddenly had a bad feeling about it.
