I'm not sure what all to say here, except-I know I've been gone for a long time, but I hope those of you who enjoyed this story years ago, will find the revised version just as enjoyable. I haven't gotten all the chapters done yet, but I'm hoping you will give me some encouragement to help get my butt in gear and get it done. That's why I've decided to go ahead and post the first chapter. And many many many MANY thanks to Rockleerox93 for helping me. 33

Gaara stood by his locker, gazing down at a piece of paper held tightly in both hands. The paper was a letter, or to be more precise, a love letter.

Never in Gaara's life had he gotten a love letter before. He was confused, scared, and also, had a weird sensation boiling in the pit of his stomach. The handwriting on the note was nice and neat, it was even colored and had little hearts drawn all over it…

Dear Gaara,

I really don't know how to tell you this other than- I've had a crush on you since I first laid eyes on you. I just can't stop thinking about you. I even wrote a poem for you.

Roses are red

Violets are blue

All these things

Cannot compare to you

It's not much, but it took me an hour to get it right. I hope you like it. I have more but I'm afraid that it will not fit on one page- that's when Gaara balled it up and slammed it in the garbage. The feeling in his stomach continued getting stronger and stronger with each word he read. Gaara slammed the locker door and stomped off to class.

Rock Lee stood a few lockers away and watched as the angry red head stomped off. A sigh escaped his lips as he slowly lowered his head. He had really hoped for a different reaction, but it seemed nobody liked Lee. He was hopeful that Gaara wouldn't look at his big eyebrows or weird haircut in dislike...Gaara… "YOU CAN DO IT LEE!" An image of Gai appeared in his mind.

"YES!" He shouted with fiery eyes, throwing his clinched fist into the air. "I CAN DO IT! FOR LOVE!" The teens in the hallway gawked at Lee as he suddenly took off running down the hall, yelling 'I can do it'.

Like always, Gaara carefully put the combination into his locker and slowly opened the door. He paused in surprise as he looked into his locker. Once again, he spotted a letter sitting atop his math book. He picked it up and opened it.

Dear Gaara

I know my last letter was a failure, but maybe I can peck your interest with this; I think you're the sexiest man to walk this planet. You're my idea of a sex god and I want you so bad-and some other stuff Naruto told me to put on here-but I'm too mature to do so. So yeah, bye!

Gaara's eyes were the size of plates as he stared down at the letter in his hand, his face turning tomato red.

Sex god, me? Gaara looked up from the letter and glanced around shyly, trying to see any sign of this mystery person. He didn't know who this person could possibly be. He didn't even know if they were a girl or boy. No one had ever appeared to have any interest in Gaara, but then again, Gaara wouldn't know if someone was flirting with him if they walked up to him and smacked him on the behind with a bouquet of roses.

He looked back down at the letter and started folding it carefully to put in his pocket. He got his stuff and closed his locker and headed to his next class.

Rock Lee stood in the same spot as yesterday with a small smile on his face. Gaara had accepted his letter. He knew Naruto would help him.

"I'm happy!" He yelled, running down the hallway as people stared after him with a look that said, "What in the hell is wrong with that kid?"

"I don't know."

Again, i would love to read your thoughts on this. Reviews help me very much.
