Ok, thank you for your criticism you guys! I can proudly say that I am fixing things, thanks to your reviews! For, Escapee From The Asylum, I don't know what I can do about your review. Emo Lee needs more detail? Ok. I will try, but I still don't understand. Oh, and I understand what you mean when you said that you got lost. I will put more detail into my story and explain it step by step. But will you write me and tell me what confused you? Because that would help me write them to your standard of non-confusing-ness. Thank you! Your criticism helped me so much!! You get cookies!!!

And for, xxasianicexx, lol. Yes, we are blaming him not jutsu-ing into the bathroom on his panicky state. He was not thinking strait. And rest assured, even though it is spoiling my story, Lee will not die. I do not have such a mean heart as to kill off Lee. I loves Lee! You get cookies as well!!!

Anyways, thank you guys for your reviews and you can be happy knowing that it helped me immensely with my story.

Warnings; OOC-ness, very minor swearing, cliff hanger, and Gaara is not as clueless as other people perceive him to be, (He knows what kissing, sex, ect. Are.)

I do not own nor take any profit from Naruto.

Chapter name: Amends…?

Neji tried it again. Then he confirmed it, the door was in fact, locked. Eyebrows furrowing, he slammed against the door with his shoulder. "Lee! Open this door!" he yelled worriedly.

Lee looked up at the door. Was that Neji he just heard? No. Neji did not like him. He brought up the most sensitive subject to him. Lee looked back down to his wrist. Blood was spurting from the opened vein. His vision became blurry. "Lee!" there it was again! Why is he here? He should not care about what I do to my body. It is mine. He can just go away! Lee thought angrily. He felt himself slip in and out of consciousness. "Lee! Open the…" was all Lee heard before he slipped out of consciousness.

Neji froze when he heard a thump on the other side of the door. Activating Byakugan, he peered into the bathroom. He then took out a kunai and began attacking the door furiously. What he saw was an unconscious Lee, lying in a small pool of blood; the gashes on his wrist were still spilling blood at a fast rate. Lee had split open the Cephalic vein in his wrist. If Neji didn't get to him fast, Lee would bleed to death.

Damn! Are these doors made of metal?! He thought when each kunai stab only reached about a centimeter through the door. Finally reaching his boiling point, Neji furiously head-butted the door. The door now bared a huge hole; just enough for him to reach his arm through and unlock it. Unlocking it, Neji burst through the door, ignoring the stinging pain and blood dripping from his forehead, he picked up Lee. He knew exactly what person to bring him to.

Dashing through the streets as fast as his legs could carry him, he was invisible. No one could see him because of how fast he was going. But people were covered in splatters of blood, making them wonder what the hell was going on. Dashing up to the Hokage's window, he forced all of the chakra to his feet as he ran up the wall. He knocked furiously when he got to the window.

Tsunade was confused when she heard the compulsive knock at her window. She decided to ignore the first few knocks, deciding that it was probably Jiraya, trying to make her angry. But when it got louder and harder, she decided that she had better go stop him before he breaks her window. She was very surprised when she saw a desperate-looking Neji and an unconscious, blood-covered Lee in his arms. She opened the window immediately.

He was so relived when he seen her open the window. "What the hell?" Was the first thing he heard her say. Neji climbed into the room. He had to tell her everything, even if it did mean that it was telling her his feelings for Gaara.

~*~

Neji was currently on the floor, watching as Tsunade digested his words and was in the process of healing Lee.

After an awkward 3 minutes of silence, she said, "So you like Gaara, you told Lee, he freaked out because you yelled at him and told him you didn't love him as much as you do Gaara, he ran off, and you found him like this in his bathroom?" she asked. Neji nodded. "Hmmm…. Interesting. Now tell me, Neji-Sama, exactly why did you scream it at him like he was a piece of trash?" she asked with disapproval lacing her voice.

Neji winced. Heat of the moment? No. That is a lame excuse. "I-I do not know, Hokage-sama." He spoke truthfully.

Tsunade sighed.

They both snapped their vision down to Lee when they heard a sharp intake of breath. His eyes slowly fluttered open. What Lee saw was a worried looking Neji, and a focused Tsunade. "Are you OK, Lee?" Neji asked anxiously. Lee narrowed his eyes and averted them. Not uttering a single sound. "L-Lee I-"

"No." Lee said angrily. "All of you, just leave me alone." He sail as he stood shakily, his body still weak from blood loss. "Lee! Your wounds have not healed yet!" Yelled Tsunade. "I do not care! I am better off by myself! I do not need you, Ten-Ten, Gai-sensei, Or Neji! Lee shouted and shot a very disgusted-with-you look at Neji.

With that said, he jumped out the window."Lee!" Neji yelled at a futile attempt to bring him back.

"By the way, Neji-Sama," Tsunade asked, "What happened to your forehead?"

~*~

Neji wandered around Konaha. There was no way he could tell Gaara how he felt with his guilty conscience. He had to find Lee. And fast.

He activated his Byakugan and dashed off to find Lee. Running first to Lee's apartment, he searched everywhere. No Lee. He ran to Naruto's apartment to see if he was there or if Naruto had seen him. Nope. Searching the entire village with no sign of Lee, Neji gave up.

He decided to go meet Gaara. He already looked like a bum; he didn't want to miss it just because of that, though.

*~*

He made it to the lake spot and found Gaara sitting on the bench. He walked up and sat beside him, dirty and sweaty. "What happened?" Gaara asked, looking over at him with those adorable eyes again. "I was….. Preoccupied." Gaara slowly nodded. And was alerted by someone stumbling in to the clearing. Neji stood up, as did Gaara. They walked behind the bench and stared at a drunken nomad. He was singing to himself and losing his balance with every step he took. He walked towards Gaara, but neji stepped in front of the sand-nin protectively, not knowing why, and neither did Gaara.

The guy stumbled into Neji's arms. "Youra preeeeeety laddyyy….. Wannnna goo at it?" he slurred. Then he went too far. He reached around Neji and pinched his butt. Surprised and angry, Neji punched him in the face so hard; you could hear splintering of a bone. Gaara stood on his toes and peeked over Neji's shoulder. Neji turned around and his eyes widened impossibly as his lips connected with Gaara's. (Corny, I know. But I think it's adorable! 33) Neji was so embarrassed at the look on Gaara's face. It was complete and utter shock.

Scared, embarrassed, and sad, Neji proofed back to his apartment, leaving Gaara to wonder why Neji stopped kissing him…
