Crazy Love

When night fall finely came Gaara left the small hotel his siblings were staying at, since he didn't sleep he had no need for the bed in the room and leapt out the window and started walking around the village. Seeing a few people still out and about he jumped up onto a roof and found a good spot to where he could see the moon. His talk with Lee was still bugging him. Why had he tried so hard to speak with him? Lee should be the person to hate him the most in this village...well for the moment before the plan came into play.

Lee was looking up at the same milky moon sighing in bed. He could not sleep. He may have said that he did not want to be friends with the redhead, but he really really did. Something about him was pulling him in. Lee really never had anything to put his heart and love into besides training and being a ninja and at the moment that was gone. Sakura would come to visit him, but when they would talk all she would talk about was Sasuke Sasuke Sasuke. It bugged him. However Gaara did not seem like the person to do that. Lee felt like he could put his heart into that one boy and even if Gaara was to reject it, he would not go around giving himself to other people. But that was just a silly thought in the back of Lee's head. At the moment, he really just wanted to help the redhead. When Lee was a kid, he was outcast a lot because he could not perform normal jutsu, however he found someone who cheered him up and made him believe that he could change and still reach his goal he had deep down. Lee was just thinking that maybe he could be that person to the sand ninja who looked so lost and helpless, always angry and looking for a fight.

Gaara moved his gourd off his back setting it down on the roof carefully before laying back and looking up at the stars. This was his only time he felt at peace...when the stars were out and he could sit and stare at them till the sun came up. Though back home he would always have to be on guard thanks people non stop trying to kill him...but it didn't seem like that would happen here. Though he still worried, closing his eyes half way he tried hard to relax himself.

'I don't know why you like looking up at those things.. they are annoying.. and the moon just allows humans to see when you are stalking up on them at night..' Shukaku muttered but was keeping quiet since his host had yelled at him once again for being annoyingly loud. Lee on the other hand was completely silent as he leaned out the window a little bit, enjoying the smell of the fresh night air. But something was different he felt something. Glancing up he noticed the gourd on the roof next to the hospital. Then the figure of a small boy lying on the roof. 'He is there again!' Inner Lee yelled happily while the real one was a bit confused. "Why is he just laying there staring up..?" Then he thought for a moment and slipped the hospital robe they had gave him on. And held his crutch into his side while sneaking out of the hospital. Passed the nurses that were working night duty and out to the courtyard. Moving as swiftly as he could with the cast he moved over to below the roof and stared up just gazing at Gaara for a minute. 'He looks relaxed unlike earlier.. Maybe he is just a night person..' He thought to himself.

Gaara was to deep in his thoughts to notice the older boy, so much was bugging him. His father was acting so strange for one...this mission to attack the leaf, him having to be stuck letting out Shukaku. He sighed and lifted a hand up to run it through his hair brushing sand out of it.

Lee glanced around and then saw a way to pull himself up to the roof. After a lot of tough struggling he finally managed to and moved over sitting next to Gaara hesitantly. 'It is back.. oh god really? Can we kill him now?? He is bugging us!' "Umm.. nice.. moon out.. right..?" Lee asked trying to start a conversation then Gaara's words from before chimed in that he was annoying which made his voice sink quieter.

Gaara was still for a moment then scooted away from Lee to get some more space between them. He glanced at the older boy for a moment before closing his eyes and folding his arms under his head. "What may I ask...are you doing?" He asked his voice its normal monotone. What was with this kid? Did he have a death wish?

"Sitting on a roof next to a person who obviously does not like me... what are you doing?" Lee asked with a silly grin as he adjusted to be more comfortable with the casts. 'I do not like this idiot..' Shukaku muttered to his host.

Seeing that Lee wasn't much of a threat at the moment Gaara relaxed a little but let the cork slip out of his gourd just in case. "Being confused by the strangest leaf ninja I have ever met..." He muttered.

"You are the strangest person I have ever met.." Lee blurted out. "Especially since you let no one in... I mean.. everyone has someone they trust.." Lee said softly and pulled his good knee into his chest resting his head on it. 'Tch, we do not need to trust anyone..' Shukaku growled out in Gaara's mind.

Gaara opened his eyes half way sadness flicking through the light green eyes. 'That's true...I can't trust anyone...I can barely even trust my own siblings.' He and looked back up at the moon. It was going to be a full one tomorrow night.

"You know... you can trust me and tell me things... I mean.. I have friends but none I really tell things to... but.. I would keep your secrets close.." He said his brown eyes glancing to Gaara noticing the sad running through them. 'Hey hey hey! That is because we don't need to trust anyone! Everyone will just backstab us in the end! Don't let this asshole bug you host!' Shukaku yelled hearing Gaara's thought.

The Jinchuuriki frowned and narrowed his eyes a little. "I don't understand how you can speak so calmly to someone who could kill you within a second." Gaara said and moved his elbows under him as he sat up,

Lee blinked at hearing that then thought for a minute before saying. "Well... You keep saying you will. Yet you have not laid one hand on me... and two you have not disappeared while I am sitting next to you. Three, you do not look that scary. How am I supposed to be afraid of someone smaller then me?" Lee stated not meaning to be mean or anything; the last part was a mere joke. Shukaku didn't take it as one though, 'He is insulting you!'

Gaara growled and his sand moved up and out of the gourd and it wrapped around Lee's neck. "Are you trying to say I'm weak?" Gaara asked getting to his feet and glaring at the older male. He couldn't understand what the leaf ninja was trying to do. "Your just like everyone else...your going to backstab me the moment I let my guard down!"

The leaf ninja tensed feeling the scratchy sand grip around his neck but he remained calm, knowing freaking out would not help the situation. "I was mainly making a joke... Gaara you are really strong... not only with being a ninja.. but your emotions are too.. you are letting your anger emotion out the most though.." Lee said to him frowning a little. "You should just relax.. I am not going to hurt you or anything.." Murmuring this out Lee tried not to move, the sand felt like needles poking at his skin and it was very irritating and scary. Shukaku on the other hand was happy, his lips curled up into a sadistic smile as he purred out, 'Good Gaara.. tighten the sand.. he is insulting us.. calling you and me both weak.. just kill him right now..'

Gaara lifted his hand but when his eyes locked with Lee's he froze. He tried to listen to his demon...and simply close his hand and end this confusion forever, but he couldn't will himself to move. 'What's wrong with me?? This should be easy....no problem at all. I can see his fear but, there is something else.. I don't understand!' He let out a shaky breath and stared at the older male.

Lee tilted his head a little ignoring the pain from the annoying sand. "Gaara-kun.. we could be friends.. you do not have to hate.. you are scared to hurt me.. I can see it in your eyes.." The leaf ninja breathed out not bringing his voice above a whisper so he would not upset or annoy the sand ninja anymore. Shukaku on the other hand was gagging. 'God! He is the weak one, he is practically begging us not to. Come on Gaara close your hand so we can go back inside.." The demon pressed wanting to get this over with.

Gaara bit hard into his lip still trying to will himself to close his hand. "S-Shut up!...Friends...I don't need friends I can only rely on myself! That's what's kept me alive this long...you think you can come along and trick me??" He asked his fingers bending a little so the sand would tighten slightly but not enough to where Lee couldn't breathe.

Lee gulped and looked at Gaara pleadingly. "I am not trying to trick you! Give me one good reason to why I would trick you! I do not want revenge and I do not know why I would ever try and harm someone who is already hurt so much on the inside! I am not like that!" He blurted out loudly now a little scared for his life. But luckily Gaara was hesitating. That was a good sign wasn't it. '. . . He is just tricking us Gaara.. Do not hesitate. Do it!' Shukaku yelled and started to whine a little bit.

Gaara grit his teeth and his sand tightened a little more, he tried again to move but then after a few moments he hesitantly lowered his arm. The sand fell off the leaf ninja and the redhead backed up on the roof almost all the way to the other end. Feeling extremely confused he moved over to the edge wanting so badly to leave after what he almost just did.

"Wait Gaara!" Lee struggled to get up but tripped and fell back down onto his butt. "Gah.. Gaara do not leave it is alright," Lee said trying to convince him. 'I can not believe you! Fucking kill him do not run away!' Shukaku yelled at Gaara scolding his host not happy one bit now.

Gaara's hands rushed up to his head and he gripped it tightly. "Aah!...H-How is it alright I just tried to kill you!..Again!" He yelled and bit his lip. 'I'm not running away I'm...I don't know..'

'See why I told you to kill him! He is confusing you! Gah fuck it. Turn to sand now. Go out to the forest now..' Shukaku commanded his host growling. Lee finally got to his feet and moved over, "Gaara.. are you ok..? I think you need to just take a few deep breaths.." Lee said softly to the younger boy.

Gaara moved his hands up into his hair and gripped tighter and took in a few deep breaths trying to calm himself and his demon down. 'Why the forest?' He asked starting to worry Shukaku might be trying to get out again. "S-Stay back.." He forced out and moved closer to the edge of the roof so he could jump down.

'Because I want you to take your anger out there. Screwing up the village now would be pointless to that stupid plan. And no matter how much I want blood right now it is not worth you screwing this up and possibly getting hurt..' Shukaku explained ranting as he usually did. "Gaara do not go.. relax and talk to me.. why are you so mad with me?" Lee asked reaching his hand out to grab the redhead's arm but the sand shot up and slapped his hand away as Shukaku got angry protecting Gaara right away from the touch.

Gaara looked up at Lee then formed a sign. "Your confusing me so badly..." He replied then turned to sand and repapered outside the village in the woods, he dropped down onto his knees and sat there trying to calm himself down. His emotions were getting to him, he rested his head in his hands as he started to settle. 'What happened back there...why couldn't I kill him?' He thought. He then noticed that he had forgot his gourd.

Lee sighed and then glanced at the gourd on the roof. Walking over he pushed it with his good leg and sweat dropped at how heavy it was. 'This is going to take some work..' He said with a sigh. He did not want Gaara leaving but maybe if he got the gourd back to the hospital room Gaara would come to get it. 'Because you are just having an off day you understand me? Look tomorrow is going to be the full moon.. and you better let me kill someone or I swear on my life I will make yours even more miserable then it is..' Shukaku told his host, though that really wasn't helping the situation.
