Full summary: Gaara has been tortured by the hate of the people in his very own village since he could remember. People thought him as a stupid thing, a hazardous object needing to be destroyed if not handled properly. As kazekage, life isn't exactly, what you would call, "easy", especially for this jinchuuriki. Since the chuunin exams, there has been one man he has been wanting to hold. How does that one man feel about the redheads feelings? After being rejected by his very own village, can he handle the possible rejection from the taijutsu master? GaaLee NO FLAMES MPreg & rape

CHAPTER 1: Stroll to Konoha
The young jinchuuriki sighed boredly as he glanced over to the large stack of useless paperwork sitting to the side of his large desk. He then glanced over to the framed pictures sitting on the other side. The first one was a precious one, one that made a difference in Gaara's life; A picture of his family, which consisted of Temari, Kankurou and himself. The second one was himself and the one he doubted he would ever have: Lee. This picture, if Gaara himself didn't remember wrong, was taken after the failed mission of retrieving Uchiha Sasuke. Lee, Gaara had to admit, was pretty stupid for going out to fight someone like Kimimaro; one of the Sound Four, or including him, Five.
Not 2 minutes after the Kazekage looked to the framed picture of Lee and himself did he hear a knocking on his office door. "Enter." He droned dullfully, being trapped in his office all day not sounding like a good way for the day. The person he saw was one whom made him a little more accepting of the fact that he had to be trapped; his -coughoverprotectivecoughcough- and loving sister Temari.
"Hello Gaara! Having fun?" She teased sarcastically.
"Haha very funny Temari." Gaara sighed as he took a stack of papers from the emmense mountain of paperwork he still had to complete, which he failed to finish out of pure lack of interest.
"Gaara, if you want a break you can always leave the work to me and Kankurou." She said as she walked over to Gaara and put a hand on his shoulder.
"And leave Kankurou as Kazekage? Don't make me laugh." Gaara said playfully as Temari laughed.
"Hey, hey, whats this I hear about leaving me as Kazekage?" At that moment a tall man with warrior paint entered the room. On he back he sported a wrapped up puppet as Gaara knew.
"Gaara is thinking of taking a break! He's gonna give the position temporarily to you and me, Kankurou!" Temari said as a look of horror painted itself across the redheads face, and he quickly started to shake his head back and forth.
"Sweet!" Kankurou yelled as Gaara sighed, defeated. "Oh, and Gaara? Why not take a few weeks off?"
"OH NO!! I am NOT going to leave you two as Kazekage(s) for THAT long!" Gaara hissed. "YOU'D PROBABLY DESTROY THE VILLAGE IN THAT TIME!"
"Us? Thats a laugh!!" Temari said. "We'll send a letter saying that you are going to Konohagakure for a few weeks!"
"K-Konohagakure??" Gaara choked.
'Whats wrong, Gaara-chan? Afraid of comfronting your fear of being rejected by Lee-san?' The tanuki demon within Gaara asked teasingly.
'Shut up you stupid tanuki.' Gaara hissed.
'Looks like someones craanky!' Shukaku continued to tease as Gaara groaned.
"Bye Gaara! See ya in 3 weeks!" Kankurou said as he waved goodbye to Gaara.
"Take care!" Temari continued to wave.
"Yeah, yeah," Gaara muttered sourly as he was escorted by two high ranked ANBU.
"Gaara-Sama. We are estimated to reach Konoha in about 2 days and 21 hours due to this weather..." One of the ANBU, one sporting a tiger mask, said.
"Excellent. Continue as planned." Gaara said.
In 3 days, Gaara's escorts and himself finally arrived at the Konoha gates. There were two jounin guarding the gate, and when they saw the ANBU and the Kazekage himself, they stuttered a salute and opened the gates.
Gaara expected nothing less in the town of Konohagakure. Fresh smells filled the air, shouted of marrymaking and laugher closing the gaps left by the smells. Then he saw familiar faces.
"Gaara-san!" Naruto shouted. Gaara raised his head from its position of looking to the air and looking at the blondes sun filled, whiskered face.
"Naruto-san, its a pleasure." Gaara said as kind as one like him could. Then, he could've sworn his heart skipped a beat when he saw Him.
"Gaara-kun! Welcome back to Konoha!" Lee said, his shining black hair waving in the wind. Then he stuttered, "My apologies, Kazekage-sama! I am to call you by your respectful title!!"
"Its not a problem, Lee-san." Gaara stuttered.
'You do realize you're blushing, right?' Shukaku laughed harshly.
'Dammit, this is not my day...' Gaara sighed.
"Gaara-Kun? Are you alright?" Lee asked as he leaned close to Gaara's face, causing him to turn very red.
"I-I have to go talk to the Godaime.." Gaara stuttered as he quickly walked away.
"Jeez, whats got his tongue?" Naruto asked no one as he just walked Gaara leave.
"I dunno." Lee sighed.
"Hello Kazekage-sama, I see your trip was safe. Now, tell me why in fact you came here..." Tsunade said as she organized the paperwork stacked on her desk.
"My sister and brother saw fit that I have a break from being Kazekage. I, myself, agree... I haven't exactly been feeling well for a while..." Gaara said.
'Thats bullshit Gaara-chan. You know the reason you agreed to all of this is because you wanted to see your precious "Lee-kun"!!' Shukaku said as he burst out laughing at the fact that Gaara mentally blushed again.
'Would you give it a rest? You've been going on like that ever since you've started talking after the battle with Kimimaro.' Gaara growled mentally.
"Alright, so you are going to be staying for 3 weeks as I see here..." She said as she reviewed the paper.
"I actually plan to be here 3 days." Gaara said.
"3 days? But-" Tsunade started but was interrupted.
"Its only an excuse so that Kankurou and Temari can keep the top. I don't plan to leave them there to take my responsibility for that long." Gaara said.
"Sibling competition?" Tsunade summarized by what she was told.
"Yup." Gaara replied.
3 days later-
"Kazekage-sama, just to be safe I am going to send a couple jounin with you..." Tsunade said.
"Fine, I guess there isn't anything I can do to object." Gaara sighed as his two ANBU appeared right next to him.
"Now, I shall send with you... Rock Lee and Hyuuga Neji." Tsunade.
"D-did you say Rock Lee??" Gaara stuttered, caught off guard by her decision.
"Yes, and Hyuuga Neji. I'd send Naruto, but for the sake of his safety as well, I am going to keep him here. Sending another jinchuuriki out with you, who is also a jinchuuriki, would just give the Akatsuki more reason to attack you. This way, we don't give them what they want." Tsunade explained.
"H-hai." Gaara stuttered.
'Ooh, isn't this nice? You get to be out in the desert for 3 days with your crush!! Then you get to have him in your city!! Talk about killing two birds with one stone...' Shukaku teased.
'Shut up, stupid Tanuki demon.' Gaara hissed.
"Yosh! Tsunade-sama, I am ready to depart!" Lee said as he ran up to Tsunade.
"As am I." Neji said as he walked up to Tsunade.
"Good. Your mission is escorting the Kazekage back to his village. You will return right after you finish packing and rationing." Tsunade said.
"Yosh!" Lee said in the 'Nice Guy' pose.
"Yes, Hokage-sama." Neji said as he stood with his arms crossed.
"Now off with you!" Tsunade said, and the two ninja obeyed.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Hokage-sama." Gaara said as he rushed off, his two ANBU following.
