-Ha! A dork like him will never be able to beat Gaara!, Temari says when Lee and Gaara start fighting.

-Hey! He's better than that! Don't underestimate him..!, Mina starts. He probably has more chances to win against him than any of us.

Even though, the sand was very huge inconvenient, and Lee just dogde an attack by jumping.

-Lee, take them off!, Gai says.

-''He's using that? Already!'', Mina thinks, as Lee removes his weights.

They hit the ground and...well...break the floor, to the surprise of many people. He starts running and then, he does the lotus flower technique. Mina saw it all, every single detail.

-''Holy shit! What tha-!'', Mina thinks when Gaara's body turns into sand. ''He popped outta nowhere!'' she thinks again when Gaara reapears.

Gaara's sand trows Lee on the wall, and, beats him up pretty much. Mina can see that Lee's having a- many flashbacks. Tears are starting to burn Mina's eyes, but they don't come out. Instead, Mina screams:

-LEE! I KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS, YOU'RE AN AWESOME NINJA!

He looks at her for a while, and then at Gai-sensei, who is smilling at him. Both of those encouragement gives Lee strength. He places himself and chakra starts to come out of his body, and Mina knows, Mina knows he's opening the 5 gates.

-''Oh no...No way...Please! Take care of him!'' she prays.

As Lee is going faster than anytime, and finally strickes, Mina dosen't know what to think, and Yuki is keeping an eye- two eyes on Mina. But fear comes in both of their eyes when Lee caN,t move anymore and that Gaara's sand is reaching for him, going around his left arm and leg. Mina closes her eyes, but opens them back when Lee screams.

-''NO!'' NO! she screams, out loud, making many heads turn.

Tears finally come when Lee is still trying to get up, even if he lost. Mina is about to jump off the railing, but Yuki hold her.

-Let me go!, she says.

-I'm going with you..., Yuki says.

Yuki, as a good ninja doctor, looks at Lee for a little while. Her eyes come wide oipen when she realizes Lee's condition. She decides not to tell Mina yet.

-''Why me?'' she thinks again.

And the last fight starts, and Mina encourages Choji, but he lost. They all leave. now that the second test is over. In the next days, Mina visited Lee, and even gave him Forget Me Not flowers.
