Chapter 34: Lee's My Damsel, Not Yours!

…Anko strutted into the cafeteria pushing past teachers and students alike. She stopped in the middle of the large room of screaming kids. And sucked in a large gulp of air then she bellowed, "SHUT UP!"

The cafeteria went silent Neji and Gaara frozen mid swing, fists aimed at different parts of their opponents' bodies. Neji looked around and asked, "Where is Lee?"

Tobi was struggling with Obito and ran to Neji.

"A big boy took Lee!" He grabbed Neji's hand and tried to drag him in that direction, but a hand landed on his shoulder. Neji growled and turned to tell the person off. He saw purple hair and a wicked grin that put the fear of god in him.

"You're commin' with me," He noticed she was holding Gaara's shoulder. She jerked the boys toward the exit. A path cleared for them…

…Hidan was dragging Lee down the abandoned hallways of the school. One hand on the boy's mouth and the other wrapped around his waist.

Lee was not going to make things easy for Hidan. He was not just some damsel in distress. He bit into Hidan's palm hard. The man screamed and let go of him. Lee ran back toward the cafeteria screaming at the top of his lungs…

…Anko, Gaara and Neji all turned to see the boy being chased by one of the biggest troublemakers in the school, Hidan Rook. Anko's mouth formed a malicious grin. She let go of the boys. Neji pushed Gaara out of his way and intercepted Lee who crashed into his chest panting. His arms involuntarily wrapping around the taller boy's muscular frame.

"Mr. Rook," Anko's insane grin widened, "What the hell do you think you were doing with that student?"

Hidan's face flushed he seemed to tremble as he stuttered out a response, "I-I-I…um…"

She grabbed his arm and pulled him off, "Well you can keep stuttering in Tsunade's office she'll be back in about fifteen." He followed obediently, if he were a dog his tail would have been tucked between his legs and his ears folded back in fear. Nobody messed with Anko, not even the insane or stupid.

"Was that H?" Neji asked.

"Yeah…wait!" Lee pushed him away and looked into his silver eyes. Lee thought they were very pretty but right now he was glaring at them. He asked, "How do you know about that?"

"I um…well the thing is…You dropped a paper the other day and I picked it up. I'm very sorry for reading it. I didn't think…" Neji looked very sorry.

"Who the hell was that and what does he mean? Lee?" Gaara pushed Neji away and hugged the boy, "Are you hurt? What did he do to you? Tell me!" Gaara nearly squeezed the life out of him, "Did he hurt you? Has he hurt you? What the fuck is this all about?" Gaara wasn't going to let anybody mess with his property. He would make that Rook guy pay in blood!

Lee squirmed uncomfortably in Gaara's grasp. He was not really wanting to be hugged like that feeling like he was being assaulted all over again.

"Please, Let go," Lee begged.

Neji grabbed Gaara's arm and prized it away from Lee giving the boy a chance to escape it. Lee backed away. He looked at his feet blushing. He felt tears welling up in his eyes.

"I, I cannot tell you," He looked up at the two boys, "Please do not make me."

Neji stepped closed and tried to put a hand on Lee's shoulder. Lee flinched but allowed it. He felt comforted, "It's alright. I am sorry I pried. I just want you to be safe Lee. I care for you too much to let anybody harm you. Please let me into your heart. I love you Lee." Neji slowly moved his arm around the boy and squeezed him in a half hug. Lee felt a lot better. He chanced a glance at Gaara. The redhead looked livid. He buried his face into Neji's chest. Neji forgot all about Gaara and the fight and the crazy secretary, but Hidan he remembered. He would not let that man near Lee ever again…

…Sasuke was clean and resting on the couch. Naruto had fixed him a sandwich and one for himself and they ate while watching daytime television. They finished their food and Naruto encouraged Sasuke to lay his head on Naruto's lap. He brushed his fingers through the still damp hair on his boyfriend's head, and Sasuke quickly fell asleep. Naruto just wanted to sit and watch him for the rest of the afternoon. So he did just that. He had come too close to losing Sasuke to ever let him go. He loved the man that was cuddling him in his sleep. Sasuke's good arm snaked around Naruto's waist and pulled him until he was laying. He cracked an eye opened and smirked he had Naruto pretty much under him. As long as his casts didn't get jostled he would be fine. He went back to sleep and soon Naruto was with him…

…Neji and Gaara never did get called to the principal's office. They assumed that they were forgotten in the confusion. They would surely get called in later in the week. Neji tapped his pencil impatiently. When the final bell rang he bolted out the door ahead of the crowds and made his way to Lee's classroom. He wondered why the boy was in Special Ed, he seemed intelligent and fairly normal, but it didn't matter at all to him He was special to Neji too. Neji smiled at the thought. He caught Lee on the way out.

"May I drive you home?" Neji asked.

Ne nodded assent, and allowed the brunet to grab his hand and lead him out to the parking lot. He wanted to go petition Lee's father for permission to take Lee out once he was no longer grounded. He didn't even know if this man knew he was attracted to his son. He had intentionally left that information out. He hoped against hope the man was not prejudice against homosexuals or bisexuals. He would take it slow with the man he didn't want to out poor Lee to his dad before he were ready…
