A/N: When I uploaded this doc, its been acting weird. Let me know if some sentences or words are cut because I seriously don't know why its cutting things out. Also I apologize that spell check isn't working. Sorry for the crappiness.

It's been a week since my memories finally awakened, oh how different I was then as how I am now. But now I am seen as an overly energetic, youthful lecturing, green idiot. That's how it's supposed to be, so I will allude everyone to still think I am. This is the effort I need to hide my dark self from the world, along with all my friends. Even Gai-Sensai didn't know this side of me since he practically raised me but I have to admit...I didn't know this side of me either.

"ee...Lee!" a sudden voice booms through my head as I started to feel a headache emerging. I open my eyes to be welcomed back to reality by the intense stare of Neji, Tenten, and Gai-Sensai.I didn't flitch as my usual reaction would be. Wait...I'm supposed to be energetic! Shit! Say something!

"Um...yes?" I squeaked out of.

Great.

"Lee, why are you still in that painful looking position?" Neji asked as he sounded rather irritated while giving me one of those, 'You're a total moron,' look.

I blinked and looked down at my own body, then realization hit me. "Oh."

I had my left leg bent in an old shape over my left shoulder while having my right leg bent behind me over my right shoulder.

My teammates and teacher gave me that odd look again, 'Damn it! Why are they still giving me that freaking look?'

"Hehe, sorry I relaxed in this position so I guess I forgot," I sheepishly said while blushing as I disassembled my body and now standing. To stop their staring I loudly declare, "Back to training for youth shall not wait much longer!" I successfully make them all jump from the outburst while doing my typical nice guy pose.

Both of my teammates sigh in exhaustion while Gai-sensai gives me another youthful speech again.

'Good,back to my youthful self again,' I said with a mental smirk.

"Okay, now you three will have an assigned apartment which I have selected for are the directions," Tsunade said, pushing a piece of paper to the corner of her desk.

Kankuro gracefully took it and said his thanks (followed by a yawn) for us as we left the office.

We're on a mission to help protect Konoha from a mysterious enemy force. They don't know if it's a missing nin or nins but it's something. Since most of the jounin and chunin are on missions we were sent here from a desperate request from the Hokage herself. For now the only teams that are in the village are Team Gai and Team Kakashi. They are strong but from the estimation outside the village, reinforcements aren't enough but the good thing is that this issue will strengthen the ties of the allegiance with Suna and Konoha.

We started to walk to our apartment, and like usual, Temari and Kankuro were fighting on directions since they still have not memorized these streets.

Out of habit I cross my arms, this is going to be a long-er day.

"Hey guys! Over here!" An extremely loud voice echoed in our direction.

Turning around, there is Naruto running to us like a drunken person since he nearly tripped multiple times. I sometimes wonder if he really is a good ninja and since he's so happy, I have second thoughts, questioning if there really is a Nine-Tailed Fox inside him. Usually jinchuuriki aren't that hyper or happy.

He confuses me ….still.

Both of our teams gathered, by Naruto's doing, at Ichiraku's ramon shop to have a get together. As we all finally arrived as he claimed that its been depressing lately. Just as we were all going to order he then departed from us saying that he is missing a few more people and took off like a mad man. I couldn't help but chuckle at his enthusiasm. He is quite entertaining. After a few complaints from Sakura and Tenten, Naruto popped up again. But dragging with him, to my surprise, was the sand siblings.

"Well, we're all here!" He turned to the siblings, "Time to relax!" he proclaimed as they all looked at him like he was crazy, but complied seeing how they did look tired from a three day trip.

Since I sat a little further from the rest as they didn't pay much attention to me. Somehow I felt as if I'd interfere a little more, I'd ruin their lives as I did with so many other people. No wait, no just ruined, but killed so many lives. What a fool I was, and how much of a fool I am now. I broke my one law that was forbidden for myself. To be attached to people, and I have been doing that alot for some years. Why do I consider this a law if I have broken it so many times? I couldn't help but lightly laugh again, trying to muffle it by covering my mouth a little. 'Damn I really am an idiot,' smiling a bit bigger until I was suddenly disturbed by my reminiscing.

I snapped back to reality, my own sense of humor faded, as I put my hand back down on the counter. I look to my left to see that Gaara has sat next to me. Yeah he's different now, but I became nervous. Not because he crushed my left limbs, but of what I have to hide since we are alike in some ways. I just didn't want him to know my secret. Man I'm so insecure, this is pathetic. But I put on my mask again, thankfully my talent never failed me after so my years of practice. So right now I'm happy but what scares me is that I'm not really faking this happiness I express to him. With him, it will be a problem to hide such darkness from him.

"Hey!" I say slightly waving my hand to him while he sets his gourd down. He then looks up to face me, and in a stern, serious voice, "Why are you distant from the others?" I could immediately tell he was curious as he asked the question. 'So you want answer huh?' I thought smugly while resisting the urge to slump over with a sigh.

I looked at him straight in those icy stern eyes, "For being so youthful practically all the time, its energy draining, and I don't want to exhaust myself even more, its time to relax!" I replied a little loud with plenty of enthusiasm.

'Well at least I told him a half truth. Wow this is bad!' I inwardly gulped.

And at the same time they both looked at the other ninjas having a good time socializing. So much energy they all have.

I could tell Gaara was a little surprised by the fact that I even I got tired of being energetic. But supposed it happens to everyone once in a while, "Hm, I suppose you have a point," he had murmured. After ordering or food, we spoke, (mainly me) about ourselves and how our village was going. Normal talk as good friends do.

Normal POV

It was getting late and everyone left from the ramon shop. Lee said his quick goodbye to Gaara and went back to the training grounds as he overlooked his forgotten memories. His personal dark side, his secret self that no one knows about. Not here at least.

Once running full speed to the grounds, he went a little further than his team would usually train.

But little did he know that he was being followed. Lee was too distracted, trying to remember how he was when he lived back when there wasn't many ninja and even though he didn't harm anyone, when he was innocent of human blood, the humans condemned him to his prison that forever labels him just because of what he is.

The feeling of hate and rage flooded through him again, alive inside him as it always was.

"Aah!" First he felt air flood his face, and next thing he knew he was on the ground having his face hit in first impact. Still, face on the ground a surge of anger overcame him as the tree purposely tripped him just to tease and laugh the hell out of it (so to speak.)

Lee couldn't help but laugh ,an insane laugher from a sane person's prospective, as he sat up. He was laughing because the wonderful feeling of pain from that 50 ft. drop reminded him of how he felt when the was rejected by the humans. Treating him worse than a dog. No, that felt worse, this small fall was a light tap for him to remember the "good ol' days."

After he calmed down he heard rustling coming from the shadows of the bushes. The jounin laughter faded away as he became alert to his surroundings. He felt his pupils shifting but didn't bother to acknowledge it. Past the lurking shadows of the trees and bushes, while the moon and wind worked together to emit new shadow figures all around him, his vision shifted and what he saw angered him greatly. Growling in frustration for not even noticing this much green chakra sprawling everywhere. So much energy was going everywhere, this definitely insulted him as he got up immediately.

Clutching his fist, he announced, "Hey! Get over here! I know where your at exactly. Don't insult me," the jouning yelled while hissing in the last sentence. No movement. Lee then smirked, "Fine I guess I can play this annoying game too," retorting in a low venomous voice, shadows covering his face as he was smiling wickedly.

As the wind blew, the only thing was glowing through the dark abyss of trees was a dark haired boy that was illuminating a light pale reflection to any eye that was watching. And the only thing you could see is bright, evil looking yellow eyes glowing with his pale skin.

"The game will begin, now. So ready or not, here I come," he said in a slight laughter. "So much excitement, this would definitely help exert some stress I've been feeling for quite some time," as he began to reflex his fingers as a popping sound was heard through the echoing forest. The innocent, loyal Rock Lee was gone. No more acting, not for now at least. Now the real monster inside him is out and is thirst for blood.

So what do you think? Like or no like. Sorry its been my first fic since ... 3 or 4 years so it may be a bit shabby. Just let me know what you think so I can upload the next chappi. And please review, even if its just a word if it's good or suck. Seriously I just want to know what you as a reader thinks of it.

P.S. The second chappi is already typed up, since I did work on this story for about a month now so I got some chapters all ready to go!
