Chapter 2 – Sick

The thunder storm ended before daybreak. Everything was wet and the ground was very muddy. Neji had just turned the corner entering the school grounds when he was splashed. He was now wet and muddy. Naruto stood in the puddle next to Neji that he had just jumped into. Naruto was holding his stomach with one hand and pointing at Neji with the other laughing his fool head off. Neji did not find it funny at all. "NARUTO!!, what do you think your doing!!" Neji swung his arm around hitting Naruto in a pressure point. Naruto's Arm fell to his sides and he stopped laughing.
"Hey, hey, hey, what did you just do to my arms?" Naruto said a little worried about not being able to move his arms. "Don't worry I'm sure you'll get the feeling back into them by tonight. Good luck doing your school work today, baka" with that Neji walked away with a slight smirk on his face. Naruto wasn't going to let him go so easily and went to attack him with a kick but froze in made attack when he heard a voice call his name.
"NA... RU.. TO!!!" it seems Neji wasn't the first victim of Naruto's splashing. Sakura stood there cracking her knuckles. Naruto's face went pale.
"Sakura, wait. My arms, I can't, you don't want to.." He was taking slow steps backwards as Sakura took slow step forward, her outfit was wet and muddy and Naruto was going to pay. Neji ignored this but the smirk on his face got a little bigger as he made his way towards the school leaving a cloud of dust behind him as Sakura got her payback.
Neji entered the school and stopped off at his locker to get his books. He hated this wet dirty feeling but he didn't have a change of cloths with him. He sighed, feeling hate for Naruto again and walked into the classroom. Class hadn't started yet and people were sitting on desks talking and showing each other things and just being normal kids. Neji ignored it all and walked towards his seat. He noticed one person who was being very still. So still actually that they looked asleep. It was Lee. His head was on his desk and he was fast asleep. He looked as if Naruto had splashed him a few times before getting to class. A small puddle of drool had formed on the desk as Lee slept. Neji shook his head at him and took his seat, thinking how pathetic it was to let Naruto get him more then once. As he sat down though, he noticed red around Lee's hands. Dried blood. Had he been training all night in that storm. Concern welled up in Neji as he was about to stand and go over to Lee when he realized what he was doing. 'What am I doing' he thought to himself and he just adjusted his position to make it look like he wasn't going to get up. 'It's not like I care about what that fool does'. Lee had come right from the training ground to the class room. He had not slept all night and he was dirty from head to toe. Dirt all over his face and if he didn't get his hands clean his wounds would get infected. His checks were also red indicating that he was sick. Neji tried not to look at him but couldn't stop the worry welling up inside. Naruto and Sakura walked into the class just before the teacher. Naruto looking like he had just rolled down a cliff head first. The teacher walked to the front of the room and everyone took there seats.
"Alright class, settle down. I'd like to introduce you to 2 new students. They are from the sand village and will be staying with out throughout this year. Please be kind to them." the teacher said as one girl and one boy entered the room and stood in front of the class. Neither looked very happy and both were looking around the room at all the faces looking at them. Neji wasn't looking at the new student for his eyes keep falling on the still asleep Lee. "Why don't you tell the call your names."
The boy didn't even make an attempt to speak nor move. He was still looking from face to face in the class. The Girl looked at him and spoke. "My name is Temari and this is my brother Gaara."
"Thank you Temari. Now to find you two seats. Temari you can take the empty seat next to Sakura" he points to the pinked haired girl so Temari knew who he was talking about, "and Gaara you can sit in the seat in the seat between Neji and....." the teacher paused as his eyes fell upon Lee. All heads turned to face the sleeping nin as the teacher walked right up to his desk. He slammed a book down and Lee sprang up to his feet as if he had just been shot. "Welcome back." Lee looked around at all the faces looking at him. Some were holding back laughs and he realized where he was and what had just happened. He glanced at Neji who was not looking at him.
"I'm sorry sensei. It won't happen again." Lee said bowing to his teacher.
"Make sure it doesn't." The teacher walked back to the front and Gaara walked towards where Lee was to take his seat. Lee went to come out of the bowing position when his head became light and his vision blurred. Hey swayed and began to fall. Neji was on his feet ready to rush over and catch Lee when he stopped. Someone had beaten him to it. Standing in between Neji and Lee was the new student, Gaara. He had held out his hand just as Lee began to fall and easily caught him. The teacher turned seeing an unconscious Lee and hurried back over.
"Looks like he over did it again. This boy will never learn. Can someone please that him to the nurse’s office" said the teacher. Neji took a step forward ready to take Lee when again he was beaten.
"I will take him." It was Gaara. He easily lifted Lee into his arms. "I know where it is, I was shown earlier.' and with that Gaara walked out of the room with Lee in his arms. Neji stood there watching him go and just as they were leaving to room Gaara turned his head slightly making eye contact with Neji. His eyes narrowed at him and then the door closed behind him. Neji didn't like this look and stood there for a moment looking at the door.
"Neji...... Neji....... NEJI!!" Neji snapped out of it to see the whole class now looking at him. "Care to take a seat?" said the teacher. A few people laughed. Neji flushed a little and sat back down. Who was this Gaara anyway, Neji thought to himself. He already didn't like him.
