Hello! So, this chapter is for the two reviewers nice enough to say something nice! So this is for you Jenny wkf and GooeyGummiBears!

Enjoy you two!

DISCLAIMER: NOTHING!

Hello DJ!

It is nighttime once again and today we have successfully gotten a full day closer to Suna where I may see Gaara again!

I think it may be unnatural to be this excited but I do not care at this moment I am far to happy about seeing my friend once again!

Kakashi sensei is out watch and I believe I am now fully healed! If it weren't for my teammates I would've sprinted all the way to Suna I am that excited! Sometimes I wonder what makes Gaara tick, like what goes on inside his head. Could there even be the slightest possibility he likes ponies and rainbows?

No that's just weird…and a bit crazy too! Now I feel foolish for even thinking that. Gaara is just not that kind of person…

He is however nice…in his own way. After all he said hi that's a start right?

I think I just overanalyze things to much. A simple hi could just mean hi but the more I thought about it the more I got myself worked up. My brain just does not rest. Maybe I should train my brain as much as I do my body. That would be a most excellent challenge!

New self appointed mission: Get you mind to stop thinking so much!

I think my mind wanders to much but that is the beauty of imagination! That is how so many great things have been born. I would love to one day create something amazing and useful that everyone could use! Would it no be fun to invent something after all?

I think Gai would very much encourage me to do something of the like, in fact maybe if I do I could get all my friends to help! Gaara included.

I already know Naruto will suggest something that has to do with Raman and Sakura will suggest something about Ninjutsu. My sensei will most likely say something about youth and give a wondrous speech about it! Gaara, maybe he'll suggest ideas on how to put a person to sleep faster. I truly have no idea what they would say but I wouls love to hear each and every one of them!

The sun is beginning to rise! I must be off!

Lee put down the little black book and bolted out of the tent and went to each of his teammates waking them up. Slowly but surely they each got up grumbling to themselves about it 'being to early' most of the complaints coming from Naruto.

Lee all but inhaled his breakfast and all but sprinted as the others took off in slow chakra-filled strides. By the time is was two o'clock everyone could see the small sand village through the haze of heat in the desert afternoon. Stopping quickly for lunch Sakura finally noticed he was a bit twitchy.

"Lee is something wrong?" she asked with a concerned filled voice.

"Oh no nothing is wrong!" Lee said smiling broadly. "In fact, it really couldn't get better!"

Sakura tilted her head at the strange comment but the let the subject drop otherwise. She had learned the hard way never to ask why he was acting the way he was. Same went with his sensei, Gai, also.

They still had a few hours to go before actually arriving at Suna but they were much closer then before. Sakura and Naruto had sensed Lee's eagerness to get there and they decided to do something about it.

"Lee?" Naruto asked.

"Yes my friend?"

"Are you, like, insanely excited to get to Suna or something?"

"If that's the case you should go ahead" Sakura came up out of no where putting her hands on the shoulders of the two boys.

"Oh n-no I couldn't Sakura! I am in a team and we are expected to arrive as a team!"

"It's not a rule Lee." Sakura said with s small smile.

"Yeah!" Naruto agreed and shook his head like crazy. They were always surprised that he could do that without having his hitai-ate flying off in some direction.

Lee smiled brightly but still refused. However, within ten minutes of them purposefully torturing him by walking he could not take it.

Lee sprinted as fast as could with his ever present weight on and soon the little sand blob soon became a semi-distinct village. And that semi-distinct village soon became the familiar walls of the sand village. He stopped quickly and he stopped so suddenly his body did a roadrunner-like shake as he looked up at the massive walls of Sunagakure. Lee suddenly paled.

He did not want to go into a foreign city alone. The last time he had been up here was not even to go to the village. It was to save Gaara from the Akatsuki and even though they rescued him, Lee never once got to say hello. Come to think of it, he had never even entered the city. Whereas all his other teammates have been here and back on numerous occasions.

So he did the next best thing. He sat down, and wrote.

DJ,

Right now I am currently standing just outside of Suna! Gaara is just on the other side of the sand wall! I am so excited I can burst!

I wonder if Gaara is just as excited? Maybe he can no longer wait!

Maybe…

No. That is not Gaara. If it was I'd think he got replaced. *insert sigh here* I do not want to ruin our small friendship, if anything I want it to grow. I do NOT want to ruin it from my…emotions. Then again who knows, Gaara is full of surprises.

I wonder what it is like to be Kazekage. It must be interesting, going around on diplomatic missions and such. It also must be tiring with constant signing and documenting everything, that could be fun though.

I feel like I am rambling. Maybe I am but that is fine.

Oh no! My overactive mind is once again overanalyzing this entire situation. Gaara is surely straight right? He must be, not only is he Kazekage, but he could probably get anyone to fall for him with his blood red hair and smooth porcelain skin and every now and then his eyes will sparkle, and not just because of the sun shining in them.

Oh dear what am I rambling on about now? It never ends! Curse my thoughts! I think I see my team…

Even though the last sentence had been a lie, Lee could no longer write as he felt his arm get tired and his heart get heavy. It was no where near enough to bring him down, but enough to leave him wondering and confused about his own preferences.

Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura finally caught up and together they entered Sunagakure.
