You lethargically opened your eyes you were surrounded by white and softness 'I guess heaven is in the clouds.' You turned your head to the left and saw someone sitting next to you 'It must be an angel. A green angel?'

"Gai-sensei she is finally awake!" the green angle exclaimed. You heard the sliding of a door and another larger green angel walked in.

"Good morning youthful miss, I am Might Gai but you may call me Gai," said the newest angel.

"And I am the handsome devil of the hidden leaf village! My name is Rock Lee!" You blinked furiously and the room came in to sharper focus, there was a table next to your bed and your pack was on it. You sat up and a searing pain lanced through your back.

"You shouldn't sit up your wounds are still healing." warned the smaller of the two. 'My wounds are still healing?' You thought confused, then it came to you.

"I'm alive! I'm in the Leaf Village!"

"Yes," said Gai, "My team and I fought the shinobi, while Lee here brought you to the hospital."

"Shinobi…?" You said slowly, "The letter!?"

"Do not fear we retrieved it, unopened, and we palced it in your pack."

"Thank God," you sighed, pulling back your covers and rising from the bed, you stated, "Well if you two don't mind I need deliver that letter; it is very important."

Suddenly a pair of hands pushed you back on to the bed.

"You should not be getting out of bed so soon, you almost died." You looked up it was Lee he hadd a look a grave concern on his face.

"Look, just because I'm weaker than normal right now, does not mean you can count me out." You tried to rise again but he stopped you for a second time.

"You cannot, I will not let you injure yourself even more." You looked into his set face.

"Fine, then I will just have to heal quicker, so you will let me go." You made a series of quick hand signs and pricked your right hand with your teeth, "Ninja art summoning jutsu!"

"Hey Raila! Why are you all bandaged up? Did you get hurt or something?" the high and squeaky voice came from the smoke.

"Kante! What happened to your father!?"

"Oh dad is asleep so I came instead and if you want to be healed you're out of luck my powers aren't fully realized yet." The smoke cleared showing a tiny panda.

You grabbed the panda and stared to shake it, "What do you mean, your powers aren't fully realized yet! You're two years over adult age!" (Right now you have a giant anime head.) The door slid open once again and two more people walked in; a girl with her hair in two buns dressed in pink and a boy in white with a low ponytail.

"Oh my gosh! What a cute baby panda!" The girl hushed over and scopped Kante out of your arms.

"Hey I'm no baby I'm fully grown!"

"You'd be more use to me as a baby." You whisphered under your breath.

"Hey I don't need to take this abuse!" Kante shouted, "I am so out of here and I'm telling my dad!" There was another puff of smoke and Kante was gone. Taking advantage of their confusion, you sunck out of the bed and behind the green clad ninja to the bath grabbing your pack along the way. You pulled out your clothes, the purple dress was a bit crinkled but you didn't really care, you changed into it quickly knowing your absence wouldn't go un-noticed. You slipped from the bathroom and begun sneak towards the door but found the small bowled haired kid standing in your way.

"No! You cannot go!" He grabbed your wrist and held you fast.

"Let go! You cannot stop me because I gave my word to my village and I never go back on my word; because that is my nindo, my ninja way!" He let your wrist drop.

"Thank you." You started towards the door again but found Gai blocking your way, you looked up at him.

"I think what Lee ment was you can't go out the door or the docters will stop you but I think you could manage going out of the window." You smiled up at him and walked over to the window.

"Wait," you turned it was Lee. "I believe I should go with you in case your not as strong as you think."

"Fine but you better not slow me down." You vaulted from the ledge, Lee landed beside you on the ground. You started towards the center of town Lee following in your wake.

"So your name Raila right?"

"Yes and your's is Rock am I correct?"

"That is correct but everybody calls me Lee, so you can too." There was a slight pause.

"So Lee, what is with you and Gai dressing the same way?"

"Gai-sensei is my hero! And I am going to be just like him someday!"

"Well I think your darn close already." You said smiling and giving a short laugh; Lee stopped looking hurt. "I'm sorry Lee, come on I need to get this to Lady Tsunade."

"It is for the Hokage," he exclaimed.

"Well duh! I wouldn't be in such of a hurry if it wasn't."

"Then I shall get you there without delay!" He grabbed you around the waist and started running towards Hokage Tower. The town was flashing before your eyes, suddenly you stopped.

"Wow I've never gone that fast backwards before. Weird!"

"Come on!" Lee shouted starting down the hall you were in. In less than a minute you arived at a pair of double doors and Lee walked you in. A young lady with black hair was sitting behind the desk in the room.

She looked up from her papers, "Hey Lee what are you doing here? And who is your friend?"

"Shizune! Where is Lady Hokage?!"

"She went out on on mission by herself and won't be back for a few weeks, so I'm filling in for her."

"Raila," Lee said turning towards you. "I'm sure you can give the letter to Shizune and she will pass it on to the Hokage."

"Ofcourse I am Lady Tsunade's personal assiant you can cout on me to give it to her."

"I mean no disrespect Lady Shizune but I was given direct instructions to hand deliver it to the Hokage and nobody else."

"I understand," she said. "Don't worry about you can stay here in the village until she returns, do you have a place to stay?"

"Not really." You said scratching your head, "I guess I could just sleep in a tree or something like that."

"If I may, I would like to extend an invition for you to stay with me and Gai-sensei!"

"Sure I suppose I could stay on the couch."

"Fantastic I will go tell him!" Lee ran out so fast he was gone before you realised it. You looked at Shizune and saw your surprise was mimicked on her face.

"Wow he didn't even move that fast during the chunin exams; he must really be exicted, you better follow or else you'll lose him, for sure."

Meanwhile at the hospital…

Tenten was starring at the window, "Wow! She recovers fast!"

"Yes quite fast," Neji agreed. 'Unusually fast,' he thought; 'They removed fifty kunai and shuriken from her, even with medical help I wouldn't be able to move that fast so soon. There is something strange about her.'

There was a rustle by the window; "Lee, back so soon? Was the letter delivered that fast?"

"No, she was to deliver the letter to lady Hokage and no on else but unfortunetly the Hokage is on the private mission; and won't be back for a few weeks."

"Really, then why don't you invite her to stay with us for the time she is here but Lee where is she?"

Lee stood and looked behind himself. "Oh no! I forgot her at Hokage Tower! I must go and find her!" He lept out of the window once again in a panic.

"He really is a loser isn't he?"

"Neji!" Tenten yelled, "Don't say that about Lee, he is not a…nevermind."

"You two shouldn't say things like that," Gai said facing them. "Now I want you to give me one hunderd laps; to be finished before Lee gets back with the girl." Tenten gave a faint sigh and treadded after Neji.

Gai watched them go with a smile. 'This should be interesting,' he thought; 'weather he realizes it or not, Lee fallen in love. All that worries me is if that girl is, will return his feelings or brush him off like Sakura?'
