The Sickness
Ok I’m really embarrassed about posting this story yesterday and it messing up so that it appeared as only one sentence….god I can be an idiot *Slaps head* I apologize for my absentmindedness so now here’s the REAL story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters.
The Sickness
Vivid yellows, crimson and light chestnut leaves rustled madly in the crisp autumn breeze, all different sizes and shapes as they tumbled and swirled to the cool earth. The sun was setting behind the high mountains covered with trees that reflected the colors of surrounding leaves. A few long wispy clouds lingered in the purple and pink sky, streaked with brighter shades of pink and violet.
Lee sighed and took in a deep breath relishing in the faint smell of dead leaves and smoke from a near by fire place, autumn had settled upon his home of Konoha painting the surrounding forests in brilliant colors and smells. Looking up through black bangs he gazed thoughtfully across the sky, bringing a wrapped hand up to brush the offending strands of hair from his view to get a better look.
“Ow!” Lee jerked his hand slightly as a sudden stab of pain pulsated through his forearm; he looked down quizzically at his limb as if it would tell him the sudden cause for such ache.
‘Desert coffin!’ A scream……blackness….hopeless odds that turned to despair and shame.
‘It still hurts….’ He brushed his fingers gingerly over the material of the wrappings about his arm and frowned.
“Oy fuzzy eye brows!”
Lee turned around quickly to find Naruto jogging up the walk toward him, smiling that obnoxious fox like grin of his.
“I’ve been looking for you everywhere!” Naruto chirped and clasped Lee on the shoulder in a friendly manner, the contact making the green spandex nin smile a bit.
“What is it Naruto-kun?” Lee brought his throbbing arm to his side so as to not inspire worry from his old friend.
“The old lady wants to talk to you, its ‘urgent’.” Naruto looked up at Lee and made a face that Lee assumed Tsunade had given the blond in anger of his lack of respect.
“A mission?” Lee felt the familiar thrill of being needed and important.
“Hai something about a delivery mission to the Suna.” Naruto frowned and shrugged missing the look of shock on Lee’s face.
Hopeless recovery……tears……a void that couldn’t be filled…
Lee turned quickly and ran to the railing of the balcony over looking Konoha he jumped down ignoring the cry of surprise from Naruto. Thoughts racing through his head as he sprinted toward the huge red building that loomed over the village framed by the sculpted heads of Kages past.
‘Why? Doesn’t she know? I can’t go there!’ Lee’s mind was screaming with anger and confusion on the Hokage’s absent mindedness.’ That’s where he is…..’
Teal eyes filled with satisfaction of a demon that satisfied its thirst for blood…..sand…..the nightmares.
Lee forced his legs to pump faster.
God the nightmares…….
Lee was so engulfed in his vast thoughts to notice a figure moving casually in the same direction of his mad sprinting.
A laugh…..hopes lost…dreams crushed as the sand….
Lee looked up…..to late.
*THUD*
He closed his eyes as he came in contact with a solid warm form, the two tumbled to the ground with an ‘oof’ and a well placed curse. Lee’s head was spinning as bright flashes of lights dotted his vision.
“You’re careless.” A cool voice drawled beneath him with a faint hint of annoyance.
Lee pulled his knees up so that he was slightly straddling the person beneath him as he tried to stand but the pain in his throbbing head was too much, so he settled to placing his head in his hands.
“Gomen….” Lee was a bit startled when two hands wrapped about his wrists and pulled downward.
“Are you injured?” The voice asked indifferently….familiarly…
Lee shook his head slightly and tried to open his eyes again this time he could focus on the person beneath him….the figure from his nightmares.
“Gaara….” Lee said quietly more to himself then to the Kazekage beneath him. Lee blushed vividly, noticing Gaara’s hands were still holding his forearms and he grimaced in also aware of the placing of his lower body at that moment.
The redhead’s eyes were roaming over his form checking for injury he might have sustained in said fall, Lee was a bit surprised to see them holding concern.
“I..I’m fine.” Lee pulled away from Gaara quickly as if the touch had burned him.
“I see.” Gaara picked himself up and brushed off his black jacket, frowning in distain from the stain of mud on the back but considering who had caused it, it didn’t annoy him too much. His teal eyes turned to the green beast of Konoha, Rock Lee.
The smaller teen was dusting himself off, eyes fixated downward as he continued his task. Gaara tried to pull his eyes away but he found himself transfixed with the movement of Lee’s arms and how they flexed to accomplish the purging of the grime from his clothing. Often Gaara had thought of the green nin, as to why he did was unknown to him but for some unknown reason sense they had met in the arena….he had…
Lee looked up his onyx eyes locking with Gaara’s bangs a bit disheveled and clothing out of place.
Haunted him….
Gaara turned his back on Lee abruptly and clutched his chest, wincing miserably as odd emotions erupted violently from his heart. He started forward again, forcing himself not to stumble from the vivid feelings the other teen had inspired.
“Gaara-san why are you here?” Lee started after the redhead still shaken from their collision and that look in Gaara’s eyes when he had looked up…..
“To get you.” Gaara continued forward.
Lee stopped in his tracks in shock. ‘To get me?’ his mind echoed distantly.
“Come Tsunade is waiting.” Gaara looked back and Lee forced himself to walk after the redhead.
***
“NANI???” Lee shrieked and looked from Tsunade to Gaara in horrified shock. “Bio warfare?”
Gaara looked at Lee from the corner of his eyes and took a deep breath to begin the explanation.
”Two weeks ago Sound attacked my village by infecting their own ninja’s with some kind of disease and sent them into my borders on a suicide attack.” Gaara narrowed his eyes as the familiar helpless rage griped him. “We didn’t understand what it was at first, so many were becoming sick with an odd illness; a red rash starts at the shoulder and infects the chest and neck with the same deformity.” Gaara looked away from Lee and clenched his fists.
“A rash?” Lee echoed Gaara’s words in shock; Sound had infected the Sand village with a disease?
“After it spreads to the chest and neck the illness morphs into a flu like sickness…from there….” Gaara stopped and looked back at Lee with a look of a desperate plea in his eyes.
“Why me…?” Lee looked to Tsunade and she looked down knowing the pain of his past.
“You’re the only ninja with the vast strength and stamina for this unique mission. We have the medicine but we need you to help Gaara get it there and make more.” Tsunade looked back into Lee’s eyes pleading silently.
Lee knew the real reason they needed him, He was the only person who knew Gaara and would accept the mission of being around him. Well other then Naruto but as he saw before entering the Hokage’s office the blond had sprinted out exclaiming something about a mission to Bird Country.
“They’re dieing…”
Lee’s eyes snapped back to Gaara’s and blinked at seeing the pain and helplessness there…..it reminded him of himself a few years back…
“My people are dieing.” Gaara looked away from him and out the window to the blackness that was night. Lee had never seen Gaara this way…so out of place….not like himself at all…
“Hai I accept the mission.” Lee turned from the two Kages and headed to the door to gather his belongings for the long trip.
“Return back safely Lee-kun.” Tsunade said quietly and slumped back in her seat mentally exhausted.
“Thank you.” Gaara said the words so daftly that Tsunade thought maybe it was the howling wind out side or her imagination.
Gaara turned and followed Lee out into the dark frowning as more pains in his heart pulsated through his figure…like some sort of dark foreshadow of things to come.
