Disclaimer: I dont own Naruto just Ami and her family.

Gaara vs. Rock Lee

I was staring at Gaara when I heard Lee start yelling. Him and Guy leaned toward each other and started whispering. I focused my chakra to my ears so I could hear what they were saying (I taught myself to do this when I was little).

"There's something weird about that gourd on his back." I heard Guy say. "Be careful of it."

"Right!" Lee said writing it down in a notepad. "Good advice sensei!"

"Don't write it down! You won't have time to read during the match!" Guy said.

"Right! More good advice!" Lee said writing that down too.

'What a loser' I thought staring at him strangely. Then he jumped down and got into a fighting stance.

"I knew sooner of later we would have to fight. I'm glad it was sooner." Lee said. Suddenly he caught something in his hand and I saw Gaara's cork from his gourd. "Why are you in such a hurry?" Lee said dropping the cork.

Then the proctor said "Begin."

Instantly Lee charged at Gaara and went to kick him but the sand protected him. Lee kept trying to kick and punch but the sand kept blocking his attacks. Lee finally stopped and stood back.

"I hope you're not done entertaining me." Gaara said. "We haven't had enough...blood."

The sand started trying to hit Lee but Lee jumped up onto the statue of the hand sign. Then Guy said "Lee, take em' off!" Lee looked really happy.

"Really? Really?" Then he took off the orange things on his legs and I saw the leg weights.

"Huh?" I said confused.

Lee then took off the weights and stood up holding them. "Ahh, that feels better. Now I will be able to move freely!" he said.

"Please. You think you can beat Gaara just by dropping a couple pounds of weight?" I smirked. Lee dropped the weights and there was a big explosion when they hit the ground. "What?" I gasped surprised.

In a flash Lee disappeared and kicked at Gaara. He was so fast that Gaara's sand could barely keep up with him. He kept kicking and punching and Gaara's sand was barely keeping up.

"No way!" I said shocked at his speed. "How can he move that fast?!" Lee then suddenly flipped up in the air....and kicked Gaara in the head. My eyes widened. I had never seen someone this fast before. And I've definitely never seen anyone who could touch Gaara. Who is this kid?!

"Yes Lee!!!" Guy yelled, his fist in the air. "Let the power of youth explode!!"

"Right!" Lee said with fire in his eyes as he took off again.

Gaara growled and and started using his hand to block with the sand. Unfortunately, Lee was so fast that I couldn't see him! And the sand had no way to keep up with his speed. Suddenly Lee appeared behind Gaara and punched him, making him fly back.

I couldn't look away. This was definitely a first for me. Gaara has never been hurt before.....my gaze difted to Lee, who was standing in that strange stance of his smirking. Now this kid comes along, and he's able to actually get past Gaara's sand.

Gaara stood up slowly, his breathing heavy, as the sand from his gourd began pouring out onto the ground.

Oh no...... I watched Gaara nervously as sand started coming off him in pieces. He was using his sand armor. This is definitely bad if he's resorted to that. Gaara's feeling the pressure of this battle. Gaara grinned at Lee with a crazed look in his eyes. And I knew that look quite well. It was the one he got when his demon began taking over. Somehow I knew this was coming eventually. I sensed he was becoming more unstable as the Chunin Exams progressed. This is not good......really not good.

"Well, is that all?" Gaara said with his arms crossed.

Lee glared at Gaara for a few seconds before glancing up at his sensei. When Guy nodded, Lee smirked and began uravelling his bandages on his arms. What is he doing? I thought confused as I watched him.

Lee put his arms in front of him, and glared from behind them. "Get ready." he said before disappearing and running in a circle around Gaara.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Gaara said.

"Okay you asked for it." Lee said smirking then he kicked Gaara up in the air, and I gasped. But Gaara didn't go far because of his gourd, so Lee kept kicking him up in the air.

"Oh no! Gaara!" I said watching this worriedly.

When they were up in the air, Lee got behind Gaara and wrapped his bandages around him, before starting to spin around fast, as they sped to the ground. They crashed into the ground and there was an explosion.

When the smoke cleared, Lee was breathing heavy and Gaara laying on the ground not moving.

"Gaara!" I yelled. The proctor walked over to Gaara-probably to see if he was still alive-but stopped. Gaara's face started collapsing in. It was just sand. "Huh?" I said confused. "But, then where's..." But my question was answered as sand started to rise and Gaara appeared in it. It was the I noticed the look in his eyes. 'No...don't tell me his demon has been awakened!' I thought scared.

Then, he started beating the crud out of Lee with his sand. "Poor kid." I said watching the fight. "Gaara's just toying with him now. This match is as good as over." Then Lee put his hands in front of his face and threw them down and his chakra started to surround him. Then he started glowing red. "What's going on?" I said.

Lee started moving so fast that I couldn't see him. He started bouncing Gaara back and forth around the room. He pushed Gaara down, grabbed him with his bandages, and threw him down to the ground. When Gaara hit, there was a big explosion and when the smoke cleared, Gaara was on the ground. Thankfully he was still breathing.

'Gaara...' He move his hand up and the sand started creeping towards Lee, who was barely moving but still trying to get away. The sand wrapped around Lee's left arm and leg.

"Sand Coffin." Gaara said and closed his hand into a fist. Lee screamed in pain. Then the sand started toward him again. "Now, you die." But just before the sand hit Lee, Guy jumped in front of him and stopped it. Gaara sat up and looked at him. He held his head. "Why save him? He failed."

"Because he's my student. and also because he is precious to me." Guy said. Gaara glared.

"He's...precious to him?" I said. I looked at Gaara. I could tell he was confused and angry. Which wasn't a shocker. Gaara didn't have someone like Guy to look up to. And Baki sure as hell didn't care what happened to Gaara.

Gaara's sand that his gourd had turned into to cushion his fall had turned back into his gourd. Then he stood up and started walking away. "I quit."

"Huh?" I said confused. "He quits?"

"It doesn't matter." Baki said. "The match was over as soon as that boys sensei interfered."

"The winner is-huh?" the proctor said. I gasped when I saw Lee standing up.

'how can he still be standing?' I thought shocked.

Guy went over and hugged him and Naruto jumped down and ran past Gaara and the medical ninjas told Guy that Lee would never be able to fight again and then they took him away. Kakashi had come down and talked to Guy then they went back up. Gaara watched the medical nins take Lee away on the stretcher. Then he disappeared and reappeared next to me. I looked over at him.

"Gaara?" I said. He looked over at me. "Are you ok?" He merely nodded once then looked ahead to watch the last match between Choji and Dosu.

A/N: Well, the next one should be kind of long. And I'm pretty sure you guys will like it!! Since the prelims are over, we've got a whole month until the finals.
