Chapter 2: The Tour

They rested quietly for a while before Lee got extremely bored and decided to start the tour. He walked down the dirt path with the three siblings close behind. Knowingly, he pointed out everything he thought of importance. "That there is an acorn tree," he yelled pointing a finger at a very large tree, "Oo, oo, and there's a cute, small squirel running up it," he exclaimed overjoyed. Temari and Kankurou rolled their eyes at his naiveness, while Gaara just looked...uninterested. The taijutsu master ran up to the tree, trying to pet the squirel. The squirel that looked so sweet and innocent glared at him as he came closer and closer. When Lee got close enough to the tree, the squirel bit him and scurried up into its branches.

Lee grabbed his finger, which had just been bitten, and howled in pain. Kankurou started laughing, one hand on his stomach the other pointing at the innocent boy. Temari rolled her eyes and stood where she was, putting most of her weight on one leg, with her hands crossed over her chest. Gaara looked...uninterested, still. "Itai, itai, itai! IT HURTS!" he screamed, seeming to be in unimaginable pain. Some villagers stopped to stare at the genin, while others ignored the scene all together.

Surprisingly, Gaara was the one that caught everyone's attention. His uninterested look turned into one of annoyance . Temari got frightened. Kankurou and Lee continued what they were doing. "Lee-kun, that's sad if the squirel hurt you more than kicking a trunk all day," Gaara scolded pitifully. Lee immediately stopped bawling and gazed up at Gaara. He slumped his shoulders in shame. "And Kankurou," Gaara commanded, "Stop laughing. It's annoying." Kankurou paused his laughing and realized who had just scolded him. He shivered inwardly and immediately got serious.

"Yes, Gaara-san," Lee replied, regaining his enthusiasm. "Let's get this tour on the road!" he exclaimed, walkng down the hard path once again. The four kept walking as Lee pointed out all the houses and places he knew, which was basically...rambling. "That's Jessica's house. She has the cutest turtles in the world!" he said facing the siblings. He was walking backwards, his index finger of his 'hurt' hand pointing toward a small reddish-brown house. His finger moved to another house, a large, dark brown house. "That's Aaron's house. He always loses to me at video games," he gloated proudly.

A few hours went by with Lee pointing out strange things, Temari and Kankurou not listening, and Gaara sight seeing, mostly. They went through a forest where Lee talked about every animal he saw. As they were about to exit the forest, they stopped abruptly at a huge manor. The gate sign read 'Hyuuga Manor'. The sand shinobi stared in disbelief, except for Gaara, who barely widened his eyes--barely. "That there is where Neji lives. He's so lucky!" Lee cried clasping his hands, closing his eyes, bending over slightly, and wiggling all over. Gaara walked over and pressed the button for the intercom.

"Yes?" a timid voice asked softly.

"This is Gaara and his siblings," Gaara answered in monotone, "And Lee."

"Gaara-kun, hold on. I'll open the gate," the shy voice replied. The gate opened slowly as a girl came running towards the guests. The girl had short violet hair and pupil-less pale violet eyes.

"HINATA-SAN!" Lee yelled waving frantically at the running girl. She finally arrived in front of them and bowed politely.

"Lee-san, how are you?" she asked sweetly, a small smile gracing her lips.

"Great," he responded warmly. He stepped aside to show the three standing behind him, "Gaara-san and his siblings are here to visit," he explained. "And I'm giving them a tour," he added proudly. Just then a shadowy figure appeared in the distance.

It came closer and closer until the figure was standing right behind the girl, "Hinata-sama," the manly voice began. "Hiashi-sama wishes to see you," he finished emotionless.

"NEJI, GET YOUR BUTT BACK HERE! DON'T YOU DARE RUN AWAY FROM A FIGHT!" a voice screamed in the backround.

"I thought Tenten-chan already left," Hinata stated thoughtfully. "Thank you very much, Neji-niisan," she bowed to him and everyone else, then made her way back to the building.

The person with the bellowing voice sprinted up to the group and stopped. Panting hard from the run, she fell down on the ground and sat Indian style. She looked up at everyone and blushed softly, as realization dawned on her. "Heh, my bad. Sorry," she said innocently to the guests. She turned her head to Neji. "Neji, what the hell are you doing?" she asked rather rudely.

"Well, if it isn't the little weakling," Temari teased, stepping forward to face Tenten.

The brunette stood up quickly, glaring daggers at the fan wielder, "Well, if it isn't Miss Fan-girl," she shot back. Temari pulled out her fan and swung it at the weapons mistress. The fan cut only the air. Temari was depressed as she realized her quickness was still slower than that of the so-called genius. Neji had pulled Tenten back right before Temari pulled open her weapon. Only Lee and Gaara had witnessed it.

"Tenten, don't fight," Neji ordered, still holding a firm grasp on both of her wrists. She muttered a 'Fine' and he let go, "Tenten, I think you better leave now," he suggested calmly.

"Yeah, sure, whatever," she replied dully. She started walking away when she ran back and stopped in front of Neji. "Ahem," she started. She stuck her hand out, her palm facing toward the sky. "My ponytails, please," she added.

Neji's cheeks held a tint of pink in them as he reached into his pocket and pulled out two purple, elastic ponytails that shimmered in the sun. "Here." He placed the objects in her hands and blushed as she grabbed his hand suddenly.

She flopped his hand over and shook his arm, making a one-sided handshake. "Nice doing business with you," she said sarcastically. She let go of his hand and let out a small chuckle at his blushing face. "See you tomorrow," she stated, winking at him. She just wanted to embarrass him. "Goodbye, Neji. Goodbye, Lee," she cried, running off. Then shouted, "Bye guys!" before vanishing from sight.

Temari was still sad at the thought of Neji beating her at speed, Kankurou was laughing his butt off at the blushing Neji, Lee was giving his 'good guy' pose at Neji, and Gaara was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed, deep in thought.

"What the hell was that?" Kankurou asked between chuckles.

"N-Nothing," Neji stuttered. "Goodbye," he added as he walked away from the group, closing the gate behind him. The four just stood there staring at the closed gate.

"Well, let's keep going," Lee shouted enthusiastically, "ONWARD!" he yelled pointing into the distance.

The three followed him without hesitation, for some reason they didn't want to stay there. They walked for a few more moments before Lee spotted what he thought was important. "Awwww, look at that," he murmured. "The ants are such hard workers!" By now he was kneeling down watching red fire ants construct their homes.

Temari lost her patience with the nutcase. "Who cares about stupid ants, or the trees, or other stupid animals, or houses you've been to, or dead bees lying on the ground? I'll tell ya! NO ONE! NO ONE FREAKIN' CARES ABOUT ANYTHING YOU'RE SAYING! SO JUST SHUT UP WITH YOUR STUPID THINGS AND GIVE US A REAL TOUR!" she shrieked madly. Lee made huge, chibi eyes that looked like they were about to start a rainstorm. He fell on his butt and hugged his knees tightly. Temari gritted her teeth, trying not to yell anymore, but failed miserably, "CAN YA GIVE US A REAL TOUR NOW? ONE THAT ACTUALLY TELLS US THINGS WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT KONOHA, INSTEAD OF POINTING OUT AUTUMN BUSHES? CAN YOU ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING RIGHT IN YOUR LIFE?" That struck a nerve in Lee's body. He backed away slightly and shivered. "YOU CAN'T DO IT, CAN YOU? WHY THE HELL DID WE EVEN AGREE ON GOING ON THIS STUPID TOUR WITH SOMEONE AS--"

"Temari, shut up."

Both Lee and Temari turned their heads to see who had interrupted.

Temari, without even thinking, blew her temper again, "DON'T FREAKIN' TELL ME TO SHut...up." She lowered her voice when she noticed who she was yelling at--Gaara.

"Temari, shut up," Gaara repeated. He had no annoyance in his voice, just frustration and agitation. Kankurou just stood there watching the whole thing, not wanting to join in.

"I'm sorry, Lee," she apologized while eyeing her brother and now regretting what she had said.

"Hey, no prob," he answered, quickly standing up and continuing to walk forward. They didn't make it very far when they heard a crash up ahead. They all bolted in the direction it came from. They saw Naruto and Sasuke right outside Naruto's apartment. Naruto was up against a wall and Sasuke had his Sharingan activated. The two didn't notice their audience, so the four decided to watch.

Naruto wiped away some blood trickling down his mouth. He spit out a clot of blood off to the side before attempting to talk. "What the hell, Sasuke-teme?" he asked confused.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" the raven-haired boy asked with his bloodline still activated.

"Because you would've done this!" the blonde exclaimed

"No, I wouldn't have! You could've just told me!"

"Hello, Sasuke-teme, it's called fear! Ever heard of it?"

"What the hell did you have to be afraid of?" Sasuke asked deactivating his Sharingan limit

"You," the future Rokudaime stated simply.

"Yeah, sorry," the Uchiha heir muttered, crossing his arms over his chest and turning his head with a huff.

"YAY! Sasuke-teme still loves me!" The energetic blonde ran over to the other and gave him a huge hug making Sasuke flush from embarrassment.

Kankurou was doing his best to hold his laughter and everyone else was trying to help him stay quiet too. Temari was digusted at the thought of boylove, Lee thought it was really cute, and Gaara was mildly interested. He kept watching.

Sasuke raised his hands and gently rubbed his lover's back, a small smile tugging at his lips.

The puppet master just couldn't hold it in. He started rolling on the ground from laughing so hard. Naruto and Sasuke turned their heads to see the four standing there just staring at them.

"GOOD FOR YOU! THE POWER OF LOVE ALWAYS COMES WITH THE POWER OF YOUTH!" Lee yelled doing his 'good guy' pose

"Ugh, I think I'm gonna puke," Temari warned everyone as her face turned green and she vomited to the left of her. Unfortunately, someone was standing there. That someone was Gaara.

"I am so sorry, Gaara," Temari said nervously.

Lee stared at the vomit-covered Gaara, while Kankurou howled with even more laughter-if that's even possible. Naruto and Sasuke chuckled along side Kankurou.

Gaara looked down at his outfit which was covered in a greenish substance with chunks of food here and there. He frowned unhappily.

"Ahh, Gaara-san, let's go back to my house early, and clean that up," Lee offered. Gaara nodded. Temari smiled nervously while Kankurou continued to laugh.

"Kankurou, shut the hell up or else," Gaara threatened angerly. The brother immediately shut up and ran to catch up.

They rushed back to Lee's house, passing by villagers who gave disapproving looks. They reached Lee's home at last. It was a one-story white house with a little more space than an apartment. They all stepped in after he opened the door. Gaara was about to walk in when Lee stopped him, "You can't come in here like that. Take off your clothes and throw them over that fence," he motioned his hand to a wooden fence on the side of his house. Gaara nodded bitterly.

The Shukaku vessel took off his gourd, shirt, pants, socks, shoes, bandages(around the legs), and sashes. He was left only in his boxers which were a dark red with no designs on them. He threw the dirty clothes over the fence and walked into the house. The taijutsu master closed the door and put the key away. "Make yourself at home," he said happily. His house was clean and organized, so unlike what people thought it would be. The walls were a dark forest green and the ceilings a bright lime green with a border at the top going all the way through the house with turtle pictures on it. There was a kitchen that connected to the living room, where the television was, and a hall that went down to the back rooms. The back rooms were just the bedrooms, bathroom, laundry room, and storage room.

Kankurou sat on the couch and flipped on the television, trying to find a good channel. Temari sat next to him, having a nervous breakdown thinking about what Gaara could do to her. Lee beckoned Gaara to follow him into the back rooms. He entered one of the bedrooms with Gaara hot on his heels. Rock Lee rummaged through the dresser in hope of finding clothes. He pulled out a short-sleeved, blue shirt with the Konoha emblem on the back in red and some dark jeans. He also pulled out a pair of boxers, this one black with white inprints of dragonflies. Lee shoved them into Gaara's hands and exited the room. Gaara followed Lee, unsure of what to do, which was good, because Lee wanted Gaara to follow him. Lee opened the bathroom door wide so Gaara could step around him. When they were both in the room he left the door open not bothering to close it.

Lee walked over to the shower and/or bathtub and Gaara walked up next to him. "You turn this knob to change the force of the water," he indicated a knob on the left side of showerhead. "And this knob," he indicated the knob on the opposite side of the showerhead, "changes the tempature; right for colder and left for warmer," Lee explained. He kneeled down and pointed at the bottles. At the first bottle he said, "This is the Shampoo," on the next bottle, "This is the Conditioner," and at the last bottle,"And this is the body wash." Standing up, he walked towards the door. At the side of the door hung a towel. He held it and said, "You can use this when you get out." He walked to just outside the room. He grabbed the knob of the door and pulled it. "Take a good shower," he ordered before closing the door all the way.

Gaara undressed, placed the new clothes by the sink, and stepped into the shower area. He followed all the directions from Lee and took a good, healthy shower.

Lee walked back to where Temari and Kankurou were and shot a glance their way. They were just sitting there watching some cartoon.

He walked outside with a plastic bag and found Gaara's vomit covered clothes. He picked them up, put them in the bag, walked back to the house, plugging his nose, just in case. He made his way to the laundry room and took the clothes out of the dryer and folded them. The boy then took the clothes out of the washer and put them in the dryer, emptied the plastic bag with Gaara's clothes in the washer and started the load. He started the dryer too, that way it was done when the washer was done. He took the folded clothes and went to the bedrooms and placed the clean clothes in their correct places. After finishing that he heard the shower turn off and suspected Gaara was finished. Before Gaara was dressed Lee had to ask his siblings something.

He walked over to the two couch potatoes and asked very quietly, "Who's sleeping with who?"

"I'm not sleeping in the same room with Gaara," they both replied in unison.

The hard worker thought for a moment. "Hmmmm...How about this? You two sleep in one room, he'll sleep in one room, and I'll be on the couch?" he suggested.

"Okay, sure," they answered with a shrug of their shoulders.

"Good then," he responded happily. Just then Gaara entered the room. The shirt fit him well, being a bit loose so it wasn't too tight, the jeans were a bit baggy, flopping down a bit showing the top of his boxers, and his hair wet and loose unlike the usually spikey style. He pulled up his pants and pulled his shirt over his pants to cover up his waist.

Temari was gaping like a fish out of water and Kankurou just stared wide-eyed. Lee smile widely while his teeth 'ping'ed.

"You look great Gaara-san!" Lee exclaimed happily. Gaara blushed a little from his first compliment, unless being called a monster is a compliment. "You're clothes are in the wash so if you wa-"

Lee was cut off. "Why don't you wear anything but that spandex suit?" Gaara asked curiously. The boy in question put his thumb and index finger at the bottom of his chin and thought long and hard. After a time of thinking, he just shrugged.

Just as Gaara was gonna say something Kankurou chimed in, actually more like Kankurou's stomach. The puppet master's stomach growled from hunger and Lee looked over at the clock. It read 3:47 P.M. "I'm sorry. You guys want take-out ramen?" the host asked

The blonde and brunette replied with a brief, "Sure," as Gaara simply nodded. Lee called a ramen restaurant and ordered ramen for everyone; Kankurou had Beef flavor while Temari had Miso flavor. Gaara ordered Oriental flvaor and Lee got himself a bowl of Shrimp flavored ramen. Thirty minutes of waiting passed by with the four watching television. Suddenly the sound of knocking was heard. Lee whizzed to the door and opened it at high speed, somehow having people over made him more hyper. He payed the take-out driver the total along with an average tip. Closing the door, he placed the bowls on the counter, just as the washer went off, followed by the dryer.

"Here you go, guys," he called out walking to the back rooms. They each grabed their ramen, broke their chopsticks, and began eating.

"Thank you for the meal," they each stated before digging into their steaming lunch/dinner. Once they were finished they placed their bowls by the sink and sat down to watch television again.

Lee walked in and grabbed his own ramen, doing the same things they did. As the siblings watched television, once and a while conversing with each other, Lee ate loudly. After eating all his noodles he loudly slurped the broth, annoying everyone else in the household. "SHUT UP!" Kankurou yelled at Lee while Temari glared. Gaara kept his eyes on the television screen and didn't bother to join in.

Lee finally ate the last of his ramen and placed the dish by the others. He glanced toward the clock and this time it read 5:02. He didn't think had been that long. Either way he would ask what they wanted to do. "We can stay here or do you want to finish the tour?"

"Hmmm...how 'bout we just stay here?" Temari answered. Her brother, Kankurou, nodded in agreement.

"Whatever," Gaara mumbled, his eyes still glued to the television screen.

"Well...you can change into some pajamas then. Hold on," Lee said thoughtfully, running away from the group. He came back in a few minutes holding three pairs of pajamas. He had the siblings get off the couch and laid the outfits on it.

The first was a giant T-shirt with some knee-length shorts. The second was black shorts that would cover your knees and a short-sleeved deep red top that would land just over the waist. The last outfit out had a dark brown tank top with a pair a pants that had coyote imprints. "Pick your choice," Lee explained seeing their confused faces. Kankurou, falling head over heels for the coyote prints, grabbed them without a second thought and hugged them tightly. Temari stepped up and grabbed the big T-shirt and shorts. Gaara, rolling his eyes, from his brother's actions walked forward and grabbed the last outfit available.

"What are you going to wear?" Temari questioned curiously.

"Oh, I have my own," he zipped to the bedroom, leaving them to stare to where they thought he was. Three minutes passed and he finally walked back to them. His pajama pants had small kittens with huge eyes all over the fabric It was just adorable. His top had sleeves ending just before the elbows and pictures of kittens were everywhere, all in different positions. You could tell his favorite animals were turtles and kittens. Temari gasped at the outfit; one, because the pictures were sooo cute; two, because she had never seen Lee wear anything but that spandex.

"CUTE!" she shrieked running up to him and pulling on the thin fabric. Noticing she could rip it she stopped tugging. Kankurou huffed and Gaara... Gaara already was watching the television again.

They all settled themselves on the comfy couch. Lee had also given them blankets to cover themselves. They decided on watching a movie. They thought a horror movie with some action was perfect. So they choose 'The Boogeyman'. They all thought it looked interesting, with the exception of Gaara.

Just as the main character in the movie, was going to open the door to get his girlfriend's coat, the doorbell rang. Everyone jumped, including Gaara, but his jump was so small it went unnoticed. The popcorn Lee had made went flying up into the air, only to land on almost everything in the room, mostly them.

Lee paused the movie, got off the couch, and made his way to the door. Slowly, his hand got closer and closer to the doorknob, until it was on top of it. His grip tightened as he turned the knob. Squinting his eyes and taking deep breaths, he opened the door. There, in his doorway, at 6 o'clock at night was...
