SENSEI AND STUDENT

Chapter 1: Surroundings
I looked over and noticed Gaara is out of breath. He is bent over and holding his chest. I suddenly feel the strain of my own battle, and cringing I feel all my muscles ache as I fall onto the grass.
Ohhhh…I feel like I have run a thousand laps around the village….But Gaara! Is he worse off than me? I must…..see…..
I slowly turned my head over to the side to see Gaara on his knees. I can see no apparent injuries. However, I will not rely simply on what I see, but rather be mindful of what I do not see! As Gai Sensei would so wisely say.
My head suddenly felt so heavy I let it drop. Perhaps resting some shall be good for me. Yes…resting is good….
"LEE!"
Huh? I am even hearing Gai Sensei now. My sensei's words come to me even when he is not present! I am truly at the prime of my youth!
"Lee!"
Funny. It sounds even closer now. How do voices in your head change in volume? Unless of course it is a super secret technique I have just acquired! ^_^
"Lee. Open your eyes." It said gently, yet urgently.
I wonder if I should just open my eyes to please this persistent illusion…
Very well then. I will.
I slowly opened my eyes.
