This is the continuation of 'Innocent Blood'. I hope I do okay. Please let me know what you think!

Chapter 1: What are feelings?

Gaara's P.O.V.

I watched the Jounin stop Neji from killing his cousin. 'That house has a lot of anger in it. Kind of like mine.' I thought as the medic nins put her on the stretcher. She had taken a blow to her chest and was coughing up blood just moments earlier. I hope I'm next. Right now I'm shaking with excitement. I hope my opponent is strong. I want a challenge. Highly unlikely though. The medics just took Hinata out and cleaned up her blood.

"On to the next match." The referee coughed.

I could feel my teacher's and my sibling's gazes on me as I slightly shook because of the beast's excitement. We all watched the board as it picked out random names. I saw mine and someone named Rock Lee. The pathetic fool. He was the unlucky one. The sand formed around me as I teleported down to the stage. (I don't know what to call it.) I saw a boy wearing a green jumpsuit with orange leggings saying something about someone falling for his lie or something. I don't know, I wasn't really listening. Another guy that was dressed like him except with the vest praising him. Wow this place is full of freaks…how did they survive this long? Then the younger clone was writing down the other idiot's advice! How dumb can they be? Finally, Lee jumped into to the arena.

"I am happy that I can fight you early." He said while sliding into his battle stance.

I didn't say anything. I threw the cork from my gourd at him. He caught it. Maybe, no scratch that, hopefully he'll be a challenge. But then again…he seems to much of an idiot to me.

"Don't get so hasty." What is it with people that insist they talk before a fight? He dropped the cork to the ground.

"Now let the Ninth match…Begin!" This Lee person came at me kicking and punching. He even threw some shrunken. I didn't even have to move, for the sand guards me at regardless of my will.

"Is that it?" That was the first that I had spoken. I heard a slight gasp.

"Let me enjoy this a little more. There isn't enough blood." I sent my sand after him and it caught his leg. I started swinging him around and threw him into a wall. He sat there for a second before I sent my sand after him again, thinking I was going to crush him, but he rolled out of the way and tried to run towards me. He tried to hit me but the sand was still to fast. I almost got him but he did a series of back flips and landed on the giant hands making a justu sign(I guess that's how you spell it…). Then his dumb sensei told Lee to take them off…WHAT THE HELL! Does he want him to strip or something?

"But Gai! I thought that I was only allowed to take them off while protecting innocent people."

"I don't care! I will allow it." He replied with his thumb out, smiling. Lee took off his orange leggings to show weights, which he happily untied.

'No matter, I will still kill him.'

"All right! I can move easier now!" He dropped the weights and when they hit the ground it was like a small explosion I guess you could say.

"Go Lee!"

"Yes sir!" he came after me with such speed that my sand couldn't keep up. He managed to kick me in the face which made me really, and I mean really, pissed off. He kept going around me until he landed another hit, knocking me off of my feet. As I got up, I felt the sand armor fall off of my face, where he punched me. I could also feel everyone's astonishment. I knew that I had a crazy look on my face but who cares? The sand started covering me again.

"Is that all you got?" Lee just smirked and partially unwrapped the bandages on his arms.

"Prepare yourself." Then he ran around me with all the speed he could muster.

"Hurry up and come."

"As you wish!" He ran and kicked me underneath the chin.

"I'm not done!" He kept kicking me in the stomach. For some reason he paused, but then he wrapped his bandages around me and spun me into the ground. At least he thought he did. It was actually a sand clone that he wasted his energy on. I felt the beast inside of me awaken even more. After sending sand after him a couple of times, he did something I never expected of him. He opened five out of eight gates of the mind. He was stronger than before. He used the Primary Lotus, but it left him drained. My gourd turned into sand and caught me. I was hurt but I still used the Desert Coffin and Desert Funeral on his left arm and leg. I started to use it on his entire body, but his stupid sensei stepped in. I was so shocked and confused. Mainly confused. I started having flashbacks and my head hurt so much…Everyone who betrayed me. It didn't help when he started talking about Lee being his subordinate. Why did he protect him? Yes I won but I'm so confused. After our talk, I walked off. Somehow, Lee got back up to fight…even though he was unconscious.

"Are you trying to protect you're way of the ninja. Even though you are unconscious?" His sensei then hugged him. Such pitiful emotions. They are worthless and only make you weak.

"Winner…Gaara."

Then a fat Leaf Genin fought a Sound Genin. In short, the Sound village guy won. That was the last battle. The Hokage told us about who we were to face. We drew a number out of the bag. I got three. He showed the line ups for the Third Exam. I was to face the Uchiha since he got four. Hmmm. This worked out for me. He is the one that I truly wished to face. He seems strong. We have one month to prepare. What could possibly happen in one month, right?

I know…it's pretty much there battle but within the next two chapters he and Hinata should meet.
