Chapter One: Pain
‘How could this happen to me?' Lee thought as he was laying in the hospital bed. He had beaten Sasuke easily. He had fought the ninja's from the Sound Village.
But no, when he had to fight Gaara of the Desert, he lost.
Even after opening the gates he still lost, and now they say he can't be a ninja anymore because of his injuries that he got from the fight. No! He wasn't going lay there and take it like a dog. No, he was going to be better than Sasuke, better then Gaara, better than Neji.
The only person that came to see him was Tenten. She, and only she, understood what he was going through. He had really hoped that Sakura would have come to see him, but that was one fantasy that wasn't going to come true. Just like the fantasy of being with Sakura, that was never going to happen. Not now, not ever. He needed to get away from here, away from the village filled with all his nightmares, a village fill with all his pain.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
When the nurse came to check on Lee she was shocked to find his bed empty. She could hear someone in the forest talking to themselves. She went to see who it was and was shocked to find it was the injured boy she had been taking care of. Even more shocking to see that even with his arm in a sling and his leg broken, he was doing push ups.
"95.…96.….97.…98.… If I don't do one hundred one arm push ups I'll do a thousand sit up….99." Lee said, straining as he continued.
Lee couldn't go any farther and collapsed sweating and holding his injured arm. How the good have fallen. here was one of the strongest Genin in the village crying, not out of pain but out of a crushed dream. Oh how that hurts worst then anything.
The nurse ran to his side trying to get him to go back in to his room, but she was stopped by his icy glare. The boy that had the most lively eye's in the village were now cold and lifeless.
"I don't need your help!" he screamed.
"But... but..." the nurse started to protest.
"I will never need help again." he said through clenched teeth.
Lee turned over onto his back and started doing sit ups. The nurse had run to find a doctor to call his sensei.
Less than ten minutes later, Gai had come upon the site of Lee kicking a tree with his good leg.
He had told the doctors and nurses not to interfere when Lee was training. They didn't fully understand it, but abided by his wishes. Gai watched Lee doing his work out and nodded. He needed this, needed to train to take his thoughts off of the fight he'd had with the kid from the village hidden in the sand.
However, the concerned sensei in him stepped forward.
"Lee what are you doing? You should be resting." Gai said.
Lee stopped for a minute and continued on with his leg work out. Never again was he going to need help, never again was he going to lose.
"Gai-sensei. I need to train. I won't let my dream die here with me." he said without turning to the man.
Gai smiled at Lee. After everything he had went through he was still training so he could beat Neji and prove that his ‘way of the ninja' worked. That with hard work you can still be a ninja even if you don't have chakra.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
For the next two months, Gai watched Lee train furiously every night. The doctors said it was a miracle that he could move his arm and leg. But Gai knew it was no act of god, but an act of hard work to achieve a dream.
Lee had left as soon as he got home. His first stop was Tenten's house. He knocked and waited for her to answerer.
Two seconds later she did.
"LEE! I'm.. I'm glad to see that you are well." Tenten smiled happily with a slight blush.
"I'm happy that you're happy Tenten." Lee smiled back.
A silence came over them.
"So... what did ya want again?" Tenten asked.
"I'm leaving." he said, his smile fading a bit.
"You're... what?" a shocked Tenten asked.
"I'm sorry Tenten, but I have to leave. I need to get out of this village." he replied.
Before Tenten could respond, Lee reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her into a warm hug. Tenten blushed at being held in the arms of the boy that she had a crush on. She was really surprised that Lee was holding her in such an intimate way.
Wasn't he in love with Sakura? Not that she minded being held.
Lee had wanted to do this ever since he had gotten out of the hospital. He knew now that it was not Sakura that he was supposed to be with, but Tenten. He pulled back to look in to her eyes, those beautiful brown eyes of hers. He moved in a little and so did Tenten. They moved until there lips met in a loving kiss. It lasted only a few seconds, but to them it seemed like forever. Lee broke the kiss, looking into her eye's once more.
"If you ever need me, call and I will come for you." Lee said to her.
"Lee, I don't want you to leave." Tenten said with tears in her eyes.
"I have to. But I will return in a month to check on you. And maybe if your lucky, take you out." he joked a bit.
She couldn't help but laugh. They kissed once more before Lee left down the dark road that lead out of the village. Tenten watched him go as tears continued to stream down her face.
However, he wasn't the only one to see him leave.
‘Safe journey to you, my student.' Gai thought as he watched from a nearby tree.
Lee knew where he was going. He needed to see the boy that could control sand. The boy that lived in the desert. The boy that almost destroyed his dreams.
He needed to find Gaara of the desert.
