Tonight
Chapter 2:
Lee's Pov
I started to panic when I woke up. I couldn't remember which 'friend' my father had left me with this time. I've never seen this place before. Was this a new 'friend' who had been so rough that I had passed out on? This wasn't good; if I did or said something wrong I would be punished. How long was I supposed to stay this time? I tried to rack my brain a bit more when it hit. Last night, I had tried to end it all. To put a stop to all my pain. Then they had come and stopped me. Why was I such a coward?! I hadn't even got the power to finish off my own pathetic life! Even worse, I would have to leave soon. Well, if it's any consolation I will soon be getting what I had wanted to begin with, because after being gone for so long without coming home to do my duties my father was going to kill me.
I began to get up and get dressed, when the door opened and the mask wearing jounin walked in with a tray. "Ah, good you're awake. I've brought you some food. Would you like to eat here or join us at the table?" He asked while he handed me a loose pair of pants and a shirt. I took the clothes and got dressed right there with him watching me. He looked a bit strange so I asked what was wrong. He just shook his head. "Nothing much. So how about the table if you're up for talking." He said. I nodded and followed him out into the hall where there were three other door's. He walked down the hall away from the doors and through the sitting area into the dining area where others were already sitting at the table. Without a word to any of them I sat down and a bowl of cereal was placed in front of me along with some milk. "It's not much but I didn't know what you like so…" The man trailed off with a shrug and sat down himself.
I shook my head. "No this is more than enough for me." I said hoping I sounded more alive than I felt. "So what's your name?" The man with a scar covering his face asked me. "What's yours?" I countered. With a smirk he pointed at the man with a mask first. "That's Kakashi, the man next to him is Asuma, I'm Raidou, that's Gai and next to him is Genma. Again, your name is?" He asked as if he had no care in the world. The guy, Genma, laughed a little, "Don't worry about it kid, he's like that with everyone. We just wanted to know what we should call you by, unless you prefer being called kid." He said and I just looked at him crazy. What did he mean he was like that to everyone? "My name's Lee. Rock Lee." I said then ate the food Kakashi had given me in silence.
"So about last night... Will you be making a habit of it? Because I would like to know ahead of time so I can clear all my nights to make sure I can keep you form, as you put it, offing yourself." Genma asked while Kakashi choked on his milk. I blinked a bit. What was he talking about? He wouldn't be seeing me after this morning. "I don't see how that matters to you seeing as how you won't be seeing me after breakfast." I said to him without taking my eyes off of the table. "Is that you saying you're going to go through with the plan tonight or just you not wanting to hang around here with us? And even if you leave I would like to know where you plan to go, you know to keep you out of trouble." The man named Gai said to me with a small smile. I was saved from answering for now as the door was knocked on.
Kakashi got up and answered it. Walking back into the room he was followed by a younger man. "Gaara's here, we forgot to take the money with us and he still needs the mission scroll." Kakashi informed the others while the man threw a sack of money on the table and held his hand out for the scroll. Kakashi rolled his eye's before he handed it over. "Ma, Gaara you're always so serious, you should stay and have something to eat." Kakashi told the younger man. "No, I really must head back to the sand village soon. I've already over stayed my welcome at the Nara boy's house." Gaara said before turning to leave. "You live in the sand village?" I asked, thinking quickly. Maybe I couldn't kill myself, or rather I couldn't try to again, because I had lost my nerve, for now, but maybe I could get away until I got it back.
Gaara looked at the other kid who had spoken to him. "I don't believe I know you…" Gaara trailed off uncertain of what the other wanted. "I'm Lee. And I will be going that way and was wondering if I could manage to tag along with you?" I asked hoping that he would allow it. He blushed for a moment before nodding his head. "I'm leaving in about a week. I have a few more things to finish up before my departure. I'll come and pick you up when I'm ready to go." Gaara said before walking out the door. I turned and saw five people glaring at me. "What?" I asked confused as to what I did to receive a glare from any of them. "What's with you trying to bail like that on us? You cant just move out!" Kakashi told me with a strained voice. I blinked then shrugged. "What does it matter that I'm leaving; it's not like it matters to you anyway." I said before standing and walking to the room that I had woken up in.
