"What." Gaara said softly.

"I said, you're going to College. Konohagakure College, to be exact." Mr. Sabaku stated calmly.

"I can't deal with you right now, you demon. So you're leaving."

"And if I refuse?"

"That won't happen, will it, monster?" Mr. Sabaku said, his voice cooler than ice, laced with danger.

"Tch," Gaara retorted, crossing his arms.

He wasn't going to allow this man provoke him.

But he also wasn't just going to stand there and take it.

"I'll be downstairs, packing, then. When do I start, Bastard-Geezer?"

The older Sabaku's eyes narrowed at this, and replied "The day after tomorrow, Bakemono."

Gaara nodded his head in acknowledgement, then strode down to his bedroom, the Basement.

That bastard. One day he will pay. I swear on my honour.

Honour? You have honour?

Ha. ha. ha. Don't make me laugh.

Zip it, Shukaku.

What? I'm only messing. Shukaku sneered.

Meanwhile...

Rock Lee stood in his small apartment room, gazing at the letter his parents had sent him from their latest vacation spot, Ghana.

Blah blah, adventure...wildlife... amazing sights...

Lee had heard all of this nonsensical babble before. He wondered if his parents ever felt bad, leaving their only child, to fend for himself from the age of seven whilst they blew all their money on holidays together.

'And honey,' the letter said 'We decided to pay for you to go to a nice college.

We know that it's short notice, but it's a great opportunity! The address is somewhere in this letter, and it starts the day after tomorrow!

Love ya!

From, your parents. Xoxoxox'

Lee sighed, and picked up the envelope from the letter. sure enough there was an address stuck to the inside.

"Konohagakure College?" Lee read.

On the back of the address held a wad of money, totalling at 2000 pounds.

"Woah!" Lee was surprised. He had always lived with one foot in poverty, his parents never usually gave him money, food, or anything! And here they were giving him £2000! On what planet did that ever happen?

"Why the change of heart? Did they finally realise how deprived they left me?" Lee pondered aloud, a hint of amusement in his voice.

"...Wait, the day after tomorrow? Shit! I better get packing!"

Bakemono - 'Monster', basically.
