I actually got a review! I'm soooo happy! A big big thanks to whoever gave me the review xD It's made my day.

Also, here's chapter 4, and Rock Lee is about to get a surprise. I'm trying to make each individual couple really different and intriguing, so have a read and tell me what you think so far!

Rock Lee's P.O.V

"I am Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast, Rock Lee!" I exclaimed, excitedly grinning towards the mirror.

My reflection stared back, and I could not miss the way my eyes looked on with unease. It's to be expected, I suppose, when I'm about to meet my soulmate with no real experience with love. Every single girl in my life had rejected me due to my eyebrows, and even though I put on bravado I am still very much afraid of the possibility of yet another rejection.

Naruto had burst into the room, a mischievous smile on his face, exclaiming how enjoyable the whole experience had being. I wanted to ask him so many questions, since I could not ask Guy sensei, but the ANBU told me it was time to go. Naruto gave me the thumbs up, and I did the same in return, despite the sinking feeling deep in my gut.

Once the door closed, I had the sudden urge to be sick, but I smothered my insecurities and held them down out of view. When I see my soulmate, she does not want to see a man unable to withhold his own nerve. She would want a hero of some kind-a man of power and youth!

Guy sensei, I vowed, clenching my fists, I will not ruin this opportunity for love!

I bowed my head, momentarily overcome with hope, but then felt that hope ebb away with each step into the descent of darkness. ANBU were everywhere, and when I reached the ground floor Tsunade turned to me.

"Lee," she stated, giving a nod, "From Naruto's experience, we theorise that her arrival may be in connection to her personality, since his soulmate arrived in the form of snow. I'd like you to keep that in mind."

I nodded determinedly.

"I see. It seems this jutsu has many elements," I said, glancing around in awe at the dungeon.

It was at times like these that I would love to eat the Curry of Life to revitalise my inner youth, but that was not possible right now. I had to rely on my own strength, and on my own abilities to make it through this overwhelming ordeal. I owed my soulmate that much, as her Beautiful Green Wild Beast.

Tsunade was leading me through the steps of what I needed to do, but I had a question to ask.

"Lady Tsunade," I asked quietly, looking directly at her, "do you suppose that someone would be glad to be my soulmate?"

The Hokage blinked in surprise at my question, before suddenly smiling.

"Yes Lee, I think they shall be glad," she told me, her voice ringing with truth, "After all, who would be disappointed when their soulmate is someone who never gives up, and works hard to improve themselves? You are kind Lee, and a good loyal friend willing to help no matter the consequences. They should be glad."

I smiled at her words, but I was still filled with doubt over how they would see me.

These eyebrows…people have said that they have a life of their own, and that they are the source of my power. I've heard the rumours. Some have even suggested that I stole Gaara's eyebrows.

Sighing, I settled down in the circle like Tsunade had instructed, and I looked down at my usual green attire. Maybe I should have picked out a fresher one…maybe I should have made an effort with my hair, or done something to hide my eyebrows?

Biting my thumb in order to draw blood, I then smacked my hand down into the centre of the drawn circle. My mind felt chaotic, full with wild thoughts, but I was excited. Guy sensei would be so proud.

The surrounding chakra in the air began to glow stronger, threatening to blind me, and the masked individuals surrounding gave each other a glance. It seemed they knew something I did not, but I will find out what that something is.

"It's her chakra," one of the masked spoke, looking towards Tsunade, "She's very weak. She may need medical attention when she lands."

Tsunade's eyes widened and she leaned forward in alarm.

"What? Are you telling me you can sense her strength so strongly this early on in the summoning?" she inquired sharply, her blonde hair thrashing around her.

They all nodded in unison.

"Rock Lee's chakra…he used a lot when he struck the ground, and so we can feel her quite clearly. Her health is poor."

My eyes widened in shock, and I watched as Tsunade marched over to the smaller drawn circle guarded by ANBU. She's…sick? Weak? I had not expected this. In all truth I did not know what to expect, but I did know that as soon as she saw me I expected her to reel back in horror, but not for her to be sick.

My stomach tightened, as if suddenly being hooked by a fishing line, and a sharp tug of the other end left me gasping. Doubling over, I focussed on the sensation, trying to determine who was on the other side of this feeling. The tug snagged harder, leaving me wheezing.

"What is this…insane amount of pain for?" I gasped, looking at Tsunade.

One of the masked individuals answered for me.

"This is her pain. This is how bad her current condition is."

You're kidding. She's feeling this? The pain grew worse and worse as she grew closer, leaving me sweating on the ground. If I could compare this pain to anything I've felt before, it would be during my fight with Gaara during the exams, and when my back was severely injured. I had being so weak that I had being unable to walk properly, so if she is in this kind of pain is she even walking?

Tsunade glanced at me worriedly, asking me if I wanted to stop or if I needed to leave the room. Yet I stubbornly stayed put. I would not leave. Not while she could potentially need me, and if she was feeling pain then I would feel it too. I owed her that much for bringing her here.

"Get a team of medical nin, now!" came a sharp order.

And that was when I saw the black hole in the smaller circle. There was a faint sound, so faint that at first I dismissed it as a part of my imagination, but when it got louder I realised it was crying. My pain was lessening, and the black hole was beginning to…pour out with water…it was as if she had being crying so much that she had cried a river.

The medical nin arrived just as the water rose up, twisting like spun glass into the most delicate of shapes. The water buckled however once it had found its legs, and as the watercolours seeped throughout the transparent structure, giving it solidity, I was met with the beautiful soft amaranth pink curls of an abnormally pale girl. She was something of an angel, sat in a pool of fine white lace and silks, the full embodiment of a girl with plenty of riches. Her dainty shoulders drooped as she realised where she was, and her slim hands clasped at her pearl necklace in alarm.

Tsunade knelt next to her as her bright tangerine eyes stared dazedly at nothing in particular. Tsunade darted a worried look towards me.

"She's wracked with illness. She must have being like this for a long time…her bones are particularly fragile," she informed me, placing a light touch against the girl's forehead.

Medical nin rushed to the girl once Tsunade was done, and it was only then that the girl seemed to find the power to move. It was painful to watch…her struggle to just try and stand. People had to help her, draping her childlike arms over their shoulders so she could lean against them.

"Jeez…" I breathed, seeing as a devastating cough took over her, "She's…really ill."

Just as I thought she would be too weak to raise her head, her eyes suddenly landed on me. Her tangerine eyes had a pureness about them, and her trembling lips parted as if to gasp. The medical team stopped when she did since they did not want to drag someone so delicate, and when she realised she blushed and continued her struggle to walk.

When she went, disappearing through the door in the far wall, Tsunade placed a hand on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry Lee, but if it makes you feel any better, I will do all that I can in my power to help make her healthy," she whispered, "The medical team are going to make her more comfortable before the investigation takes place, but even if she decides to turn her back on the soulmate business, we will keep her in until she is strong enough to return home."

Deflated, I gave a small nod, silently wishing that she would be alright. After all…isn't it a soulmates duty to worry and care for their partner?

I went home afterwards, not wanting to upset the others or confuse them. I did not want to even see Guy sensei, as I knew I would not be able to withhold my feelings on the matter. However, I was determined that if she wanted to pursue this soulmate stuff, then I would learn how to make her feel better. Full of determination, I made a brief list on a notepad, before setting off for my new destination: the library.

The list included a good amount of books focussing on ways to boost one's health.

Kameko's P.O.V

Waking silently, I studied the pure white ceiling for a long moment. It was not my ceiling, as the light was coming from a different angle than what it would have done in my own room. Yes, this place is too white. It isn't the cool, calm blue of my own room, and it was too bright. Everything was too bright, stinging my eyes.

I knew better than to complain though. When I complain father gets angry, and shuts my bedroom door, locking me away. Once, when I had told him that the food was cold, he didn't let me eat for the rest of the day. Yes, I don't complain.

So I won't complain that I have no idea of where I am, and that I am petrified. I won't complain, because for the first time in my life when someone saw me struggling, they helped me. Normally, when my father sees me unable to stand he walks away. If my older sisters saw me, they would ignore my hacking cough, even if I coughed blood.

I prefer it here already, wherever 'here' is.

The door opens, and I manage to turn my head to the side to see a medical nin enter. She has long blonde hair in a high ponytail that swayed as she walked, and her blue eyes glittered at me with good will. I knew automatically that she wasn't cold and heartless like my family, but I didn't return the smile she gave me.

"Hey there, I'm Ino. I'm going to be checking you over and making sure you're comfortable," she told me, and then poured a glass of water, "Thirsty?"

I nodded eagerly for my throat felt like it had being ripped out and scraped across the ground. Once the water was passed to me I felt dizziness consume me for a moment, because the last time I had drank something was days ago. It was when my father had locked me away again.

Whenever the blonde asked me a question I either nodded or shook my head. I did not like speaking; it led to trouble. Not to mention how embarrassing it is when people realise I have a horrific stutter.

"You are just so pretty," Ino suddenly exclaimed, surprising me, "Seriously, you are so delicate you look otherworldly, kinda like a princess from a fairy tale."

My cheeks burnt with colour at her words, not sure how to react. It was my first ever compliment. At home I was constantly insulted, often deemed 'the waste of space'. Yes, I really liked it here. It felt friendly.

"Anyway, do you think you feel well enough for some people to come and talk to you?" she asked, brushing a curl out of my eyes as she smiled at me.

I chewed my bottom lip at her question. People wanted to talk to me? About what? All my life I have being isolated indoors, locked in my room. I have done nothing. The very thought of talking too terrified me.

"I…" I whispered, startling Ino, "P-pen and paper p-p-p…please."

Squeezing my eyes shut with irritation at my stutter, I gritted my teeth. This was so humiliating; however, Ino just gave me a smile.

"Yes, sure. Whatever you want."

That left me reeling in disbelief. Whatever I want? I stared after Ino as she left, wondering if I had heard correctly. No one had ever even given me an option, and the only reason I asked for pen and paper was because it pissed my father off when he heard me stutter, so it was easier to write things down. Yet I actually have options here?

What place is this?

Thinking back, I remembered I had landed in a dark place before being brought here. There was the orange flicker of fire from the torches lighting the dark, but the shadows were overwhelming. Somehow though, the darkness is comforting, as it holds nothing but emptiness. When it's light, you can see things you don't want to…like a sneer, or a scowl…or a flying fist, and an empty plate.

However, despite the dark being chased fleetingly by the light, I for once wanted to see what was around me. I wanted to see the faces of those helping me, and to see the tall stranger standing in the middle of the darkness. I cannot be sure, but he looked horrified, yet even so I was entranced by how strong and healthy he looked. Maybe this is a place where everyone can be in good physical shape?

I have no answers, but I am filled with hope in this new environment. It may not have the expensive furniture of my home, or silk sheets, but the people are pleasant and seem to care about me. That is all I have ever wanted.

When I had my pen and paper from Ino, the people came to talk to me. There was a scary looking man called Ibiki. He started to explain things to me, about how I got here, and that I was in Konoha. This summoning jutsu he mentioned left me writing down questions for him, and the list of questions only increased when he started mentioning soulmates.

What are soulmates? I had asked, causing him to grunt impatiently at me.

"It's like your 'other half'. Your life partner, the one fated to love you, and you will love them in return…You've already seen him, and if you wish you can see him again, but if you don't want to we can just send you back home."

Fear consumed me at the possibility of returning home to father, and Ibiki saw the fear flashing through my eyes as I hastily scribbled.

I want to see him again.

He nodded, expressionless, but I saw the suspicion there.

"Alright. We have information on him that we can give you. You can change your mind after reading the information, but we will need information on you in return."

I nodded, fascinated by the whole concept. Someone fated to love me: it was something I had always dreamed of. Someone to care for me, adore me and actually consider my wellbeing. Not only that, but it meant I would be able to escape my wretched life back at home.

This could be a new beginning.

Upon receiving a file from Ibiki, I started to read into my soulmate, elated at this opportunity. Perhaps this would be the start of a happy life, with my dreams of being healthy finally fulfilled, and the hopes of a loving family being possible.

However, Rock Lee is a ninja. A Jounin too. My father was a Jounin…does that mean that they will be similar? I looked at the photo of Rock Lee, trying to determine if I saw any hostility in his eyes, but all I saw was that dazzling smile and thumbs up pose.

I smiled. Actually smiled.

Rock Lee looked like a happy guy, and I wanted to be happy too.

I'm ready to give any information that you may need, I wrote, glancing towards the photo of Rock Lee, But I do not know much. Any information I cannot give may be given by my father, Kurosawa Kirai.

Ibiki's eyes narrowed at this, instantly suspicious, but as he looked me over he gave a slow nod.

"That explains the hair…the same colour as his wife's was. But Kurosawa Kirai is a very rich man, and no one has ever heard of him having another daughter. Everyone knows about his other four."

My hands shook as I wrote my reply.

My name is Kurosawa Kameko. I have never being outside, and do not know when my birthday is.

I was unprepared to give out more information that may indicate my miserable upbringing, but the truth was written there. It was obvious, without me actually writing about how he locked me in my room and starved me.

Ibiki frowned, and then gestured for a man to step forward.

"There will be a thorough investigation of the Kurosawa mansion," he said to the man, "Give the news to Tsunade."

With that, the man disappeared in a poof of smoke, surprising me, and Ibiki leaned towards me with intense eyes.

"You are safe here, and I know all that you have said so far is true. You're very easy to read," he told me, causing me to blush, "And I'm sure that Tsunade will find a way to make you better. She's the best there is with medical knowledge."

At that moment, before I could even write down my gratitude, Ino came in with a large bouquet of yellow aster flowers. When I saw them I blinked at the brightness, but then smiled. They were my favourite flowers, but father had never allowed me to have flowers because he had allergies. Supposedly.

"These are for you, Kameko-Chan," Ino smiled, settling them in a vase, "Pretty darn bright if you ask me."

Ino chuckled, but I didn't understand what was so funny. According to all the many books I read, the aster flower represented daintiness, and I had always thought that the flower was therefore suited to me. Just receiving the flowers I suddenly felt appreciated, even by just a little.

"T-thank y-you," I whispered, raising my fingertips to the vibrant petals.

Ino smiled tenderly, and Ibiki said he was due to meet with the Hokage, so he left. When he did, Ino sat on the bottom of my bed, her ponytail slung over her right shoulder.

"Just so you know," she told me, winking, "The flowers are from Rock Lee. You're a lucky girl to have him."

My heart seized at that information, causing me to blush fiercely. The flowers were from him? Does that mean he's actually thinking about me? Ino left me to my own thoughts, and I realised that I was indeed comfortable. It was a nice change from feeling like my entire body was burning from the inside out.

Settling back in my bed, I wondered vaguely if my father and sisters had found out I had gone missing. If they had, would they even report me missing? I doubted it, since people never even knew the great Kurosawa Kirai had a fifth daughter, but would they try and cover up their mistakes? Would they lie in order to hide the truth of their misconduct?

Well, whatever happens to them, I don't really care. They were never family to me. I'm moving on now.

I think people can see that I'm trying to give each couple a very separate issue. For Naruto and Yuka: she feels very insignificant compared to Naruto because he is a very powerful ninja, and she doesn't want to tarnish his reputation. For Rock Lee and Kameko: she has a bad past and doesn't thoroughly understand the concept of love, and on top of that she is very, very ill..

For now though, Review, Advise and criticize!

Next up is Kankuro and his experience...now this is the pairing I've being waiting for, because I planned what would happen between them a looong time ago. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, the fifth will hopefully be up tomorrow! See ya!
