I must apologize for what happened the other day with Izumo. He deserved better than what he got. I had some difficulties outside of the story. So I apologize.
Today is November 27, 2007 and itsRock Lee's birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE!
I don't need to describe our beautiful green beast here, so let's move onto his story. I hope you don't mind but I'm mixing this with one of my other stories in progress An Unbelievable Dream so there's gonna be some OCness.
Misty was dancing with excitement. Not something that she normally did, but her good friend Myou didn't really mind. She was just as excited. Aikou and Museibi were just trying to ignore their sugar high owners.
"I can't believe that it his birthday today." Myou was almost jumping with excitement.
"I was counting the days till." There was a smile in Misty's voice that was invisible on her face. She took a deep breath and relaxed herself. There was no time to be over exuberant.
"What are you going to do?" She asked trying to copy Misty's actions to relax herself, but failing.
"Throw a little party and what not. I had already sent the invitations a long time ago so they could save the date."
"Why didn't I get one?" She whined.
"Because I knew if I told you in advance, you would've blown my cover." I glared at her whininess. She nodded her head in agreement seeming to understand.
"Fine, I'll let you off this time." She smiled playfully.
"Come on, I got things to do." I turned and only hesitated long enough for Museibi to jump onto my shoulder before running off.

The day went by smoothly for the most part. It stunk that some missions came up so some people couldn't make it.
"So who's going on missions?" Myou asked without thinking.
"Well let's see," I started with aggravation. "Kiba, Shino, Hinata, Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji." My fists clenched tightly. "And Sasuke didn't want to go and Sakura was too scared. Plus, Naruto is with Jiraiya because he forgot that today was Lee's birthday!" My knuckles were turning white and my whole body was shaking with rage. Museibi had even jumped off my shoulder sensing my rage.
"Now Misty, let's calm down." Myou tried to calm my raising rage.
"But this kills everything!" I shouted. It was a good thing we weren't around anybody. "That's it! I give up. There's no way to celebrate now." My hair fell in my face as I tried to conceal the mix of emotions flowing through me.
"Sure you can. You still have Neji, Ten-ten, and Gai." She tried with desperation.
"There not here," I said with a fury. "There was a sudden mission that they all left on, but Lee was still recovering from a minor injury." I swallowed hard.
"Well at least you still have us." Her attempt to lighten the mood was not working. I took another deep breath and let it out slowly.
"Must calm down," I whispered to myself. "Must keep calm." I swallowed again and let my anger subside. "Don't worry about it anymore Myou. I'm not going to do anything special for him today. I might have a belated party, but otherwise, you can go home." I could see that she wanted to object but she stopped herself and just nodded instead. She was probably scared that I might get angry again. I nodded in return and turned again to leave. I could just spend the rest of the day with him. I bet that would make him happy.

I left Museibi at home because I knew he wasn't interested in what I was planning to do. It wasn't long before I found Lee. He was too predictable.
"Lee," I smiled as I approached him. When he looked up, a huge smile spread across his face. I didn't wait for him to say anything; I just continued over and gave him a hug. "Happy birthday," I said holding out his present. He was a bit surprised.
"Misty chan, you didn't need to get me anything." He was hesitant to pick up the present. I could see in his eyes that he was happy anyway and couldn't wait to open it.
"Come on Lee, it's your birthday. Lighten up and just take it and enjoy." He opened it and smiled.
"I like it, thank you." He smiled as he held up the handmade bracelet with the symbol of the village dangling off of it. He was able to slip it over his hand. I guess I made it a little too big. "So what's going on today?" He asked as if expecting something.
"Nothing," I pouted glaring into the dirt. I looked up to see he was still smiling, but there was just a hint of something in his eyes. It was just barely visible and if you didn't know him that well, you wouldn't have noticed. I passed it off as he started to walk. I followed by his side, taking his hand.
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't know." He shrugged.
"Come on, it's you birthday. Think of something. Anything you really wanted to do for a while?" I tried to pry.
"Well…" He paused and looked up at the sky. I motioned my hand to tell him to go on. "There is one thing that I wanted to do for a while."
"Go on."
"I haven't been able to watch the sunset with you in the longest time." I was a little confused by his words. "The last time was way back when we had that mission on the farm."
"So you want to watch the sunset?" I asked again to confirm it. He nodded his head a little embarrassed. "Ok then. I know where to go."
Of course I took him to the mountain to sit in some tree. It had a great few. The day was warm and the breeze felt so nice. He let his arm fall around my shoulders. I leaned into him in return; relaxing feeling safe.
"It's so beautiful." He whispered. I hummed in agreement. "You know…" He stopped. I looked up at him but he just kept staring at the sunset.
"What?" I encouraged.
"It's nothing, never mind." He said quickly. I smiled at him. Even though he said nothing, I could tell what he wanted. I placed my hand on the other side of his head forcing him to face me. I kept my head at its tilt and pulled him close. I pressed my lips to his, holding for a long time. I parted for a breath and looked him in the eye.
"It's your birthday, all you have to do is ask." I whispered.
Alright! If you're confused, you should check the story out. It's obviously a LeeOC. I just thought it would be fun to change this story around a bit. But anyway, next birthday to come should be Tsurugi Misumi.
Please send your requests in a review.
Thanks!
