I DO NOT OWN ANY NARUTO CHARACTERS OR NARUTO! STORY/CONCEPT WAS CREATED FROM MY IMAGINATION!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I had my birthday on the 4th of May, a party the 7th, i was sick between the 8th and 12th, went to a funeral on the 14th, and I've been studying to go get my permit this week. Also just school work can interfere. Also, I'm not to happy with this chapter. I think the next one will be better though. I plan for more to happen in it! Thanks for reading this far!

Chapter 7 - Confusion

~1 Week Later~

Lee had finally got all the blood back into his system. He felt terribly week for the first two days but still did his work. At the moment, he was spraying a cleaner on a window. As he used his rag to spread the cleaner around, his eyes caught focus on a squirrel eating a nut at the bottom of a tree. He smiled gently as he watched the cute creature. He always did like squirrels and they seemed to like him. He replayed a moment when he was a child that he was sitting by a hidden pond in the woods. He had failed a test for the first time and he was highly disappointed in himself. He felt something crawl on top of his feet, making his head snap up to see what it was. There was a innocent squirrel just sitting on his feet with upset eyes. It crawled up onto his shoulder and nuzzled into his cheek, causing Lee to giggle with joy. Every since that short moment, he had an odd bond with squirrels. He actually felt something on his shoulder and he thought it was a squirrel until he looked to realize there was hairless skin.

Gaara had rested his hand on Lee's shoulder. No, he didn't squeeze it or pull back on Lee, he just rested it. "Why have you stopped?" he questioned. Lee looked confused and looked at his hand on the window. Apparently, he stopped cleaning the window after he saw the squirrel. Gaara looked passed Lee and saw the animal in the grass. "That thing stopped you from cleaning?" he questioned.

"W-well, yes…" Lee said with a faint blush from embarrassment. Gaara groaned with irritation.

"Get back to work." He growled walking over to the couch with a thick book under his armpit. Lee sighed softly and continued to clean the window.

Gaara couldn't focus well on his book. He still hadn't figured out why he was trying to be nicer to the boy. He liked the color spring green, he's too energetic, his hair is stupid looking and he talks weird. Gaara growled in anger and threw the book at the wall and gripped his hair tightly. What was the boy doing to him?

"Master!" Gaara's eyes shot up to see the bowl-headed boy looking down worried at him. "Are you okay?" the boy questioned. Gaara glared back down at the floor, his fingers still gripping his own hair.

"Go get me some aspirin and water, Now!" he hissed and he could feel the breeze Lee left as he ran. Aspirin was the only thing he could think of that might help his conflicted and confused head. In less than a minute, his slave was back with the items he requested. Gaara quickly gulped down the pills in the water and sighed afterwards. Lee still looked worried.

"Is everything okay, Master?" he asked putting a hand on Gaara's forehead to see if he was possibly sick. Lee was in shock when he felt the position change. Lee was now lying on his stomach on the couch and Gaara had straddled his back.

"What is wrong with you?.." Gaara mumbled but Lee still was able to make out the words. He felt his master pull back on his hair, making his neck stretch out and his face twitch in pain. He opened his eyes in shock as he felt two sharp objects glide down his neck, from his ear to the crook. He gripped the couch preparing for the unbearable pain to hit him.

It never came…right?
