Lee

Gai Maito

1950~2000

He was a blessing to everyone and the world.

'Remember the spring time of your youth should not be wasted!'

I chuckle at my dad's old saying, and they way he use to say then flash me his pearl whites along with a big thumbs up.

I come to my father's grave at least once a month to visit him and talk things out. Some people think I'm just talking to dirt. But even if it is just dirt I know it's listening.

I rest my hand on the top of the tombstone and start my regular dosing of what happening in my daily life,

"Dad! Seems like our whole fund-raising thing is working out! Claws are becoming better known which means where getting closer to our goal! Plus, Neji has been handing out flyers for people to join our music class! So far he got 16 more kids!"

I laugh at the memory of Neji shoving all the papers into anyone face that passes him.

"And seems like Neji has been awfully…" I blush, "Touchy lately…and I haven't seen Gaara since the incident in the bathroom…" I blush ever harder, "I just wanted to tell him that I-"

"Lee!" I turn my head to the interrupting voice; I see Neji's long hair moving crazily along with his body as he makes his way towards me. He tumbles to a stop and shoves an envelope in my face.

"Lee…this…was…one second…" He puts his finger up so he can catch his breath.

"We have the money! We have the money to save the music program!" He yells then pulls me into a hug.

I slowly push him out of the hug and look at him with wide eyes, "Wait…where did you get the money?"

Neji being very excited, (which rarely happens) shakes his head crazily, "I don't know? It was just slipped under door of our dorm and there was just money! 150,000,000 dollars here!"

I grin widely and jump onto Neji.

"Ah!" Neji yells then falls on the ground, with me on top. I snuggle into his neck and just smile even more.

Gaara

I sit there on my bed, legs crossed, note book in lap, with a pencil between my nose and lip. Ever since the bathroom bit and the whole Neji threaten me thing…I've been avoiding everyone especially Lee for weeks now.

I have my own dorm so it wasn't that hard to stay cooped up in my dorm.

Dumb English teacher making me write a 6 page essay on myself. She says it is so she can get a little sneak peek on what type of person we are.

Screw it.

I throw my notebook and pencil on the floor, grab my jacket and walk out my dorm.

I look at the star filled sky and listen to light noises of animals. My sneakers scuff against the sidewalk as I whistle a little tune. My feet somehow made it to the park, so my feet lead me to the swings.

Hey it's not that old to see a 19 year old on a swing is it?

My body rocks slowly back and forth on the swing.

Suddenly I hear a quiet murmur; I stop swing to hear what it was.

"Yeah…ok…" A voice murmurs. I squint and see a figure about 15 feet away from me leaning against the tree, with a phone.

I slowly stand and make my way towards the figure. I stand behind the tree listening to the conversation.

The figure chuckles and says in a deep sultry voice,

"Hmm…The next target Lee Rock…cute~"
