A/N: I'm sorry once again, I know I skipped a lot with this fight that I wrote but I needed to. If I added everything else then it wouldn't be so interesting. I hope you all wont mind this and I hope you all still love, or like this story!

Disclaimer: Is Lee getting chased by Seme's that want him as their Uke? No? Then I don't own Naruto.

Title: Save your Sorrow

Lee looked at the forest that was blocked off by a wire fence and gates. He felt excited to go in to the so called Forest of Death. He grinned widely and hopped on the tips of his feet.

"We are almost there my friends!" Lee said excitedly to Tenten and Neji, looking very much like a hyper child.

Tenten sighed and rolled her eyes "Yes we get it Lee, but remember, this isn't a field trip."

Neji smirked "Might as well be. We will get through this easily. It's destiny."

Lee laughed as Tenten gave an annoyed expression. Then he turned as the woman..Anko began to speak. She told them of the heaven and earth scrolls and how they needed them. Then she spoke of the permission slips that they needed to sign.

There was a sudden commotion though and Lee could see Naruto making fun of the woman named Anko. He smiled excitedly as she showed off some of her skills but was concerned about his new friend. Lee looked at the grass ninja that used his tongue to give the kunai back and suddenly got a chill up his spine.

That man...he did not have a good aura. Lee felt cold as he looked at the mans eyes.

The the woman resumed her speech and Lee grinned, running up to the woman and getting their permission slips then running back and handing two to his friends. He looked at the printed writing and noticed that everything that was written was about how they were not responsible if they died.

Lee tilted his head confused 'How would they be responsible...I am going in of my free will, and we were told before hand of the dangers...maybe this is to warn us of how dangerous this test really is...we really can die if we are not careful.' Lee bit his lip, shivering. Then he grinned and his eyes blazed

'Yosh! This is fantastic!' he signed the paper with a flourish and went with his team to turn them in.

They were given the earth scroll and Neji gave it to Lee. Lee looked at it and nodded, taking the scroll and putting it into his weapon pouch. He grinned as they made there way to their gate.

As they waited, Lee heard that slithering sound that comforted him yet scared him as well. He looked intently at the ground, searching for the disturbance. He almost jolted as he saw the change of color in the ground, unnoticeable to most, unless you grew up around it like Lee did. The sand was right next to his foot and before he could do anything, it was crawling up his leg again. He shuddered at the tickling feeling then bit back a gasp as it settled around his neck.

Lee lifted a hand to his neck and felt the sand. It wrapped around his neck like a necklace...a choker without a clasp.

He gulped, not knowing what it meant. He hoped that today wasn't the day that he would die. Lee inhaled deeply then slowly exhaled, the buzzer went off and the gates swung open. Lee launched himself into the forest, along with his team mates and began running.

Nothing interesting, besides a few, count four, fights for the fist day. Just from that, they had already gotten their two needed scrolls.

It was on the second day that they had decided to split up. Lee listened intently to Neji as he explained when and where to meet up, and what to do when in danger. Lee smiled brightly when Neji was finished

"Yosh! I will see you soon my friends!" He said before taking off in time with them.

Barely an hour later, Lee decided to train. He kicked a tree and saw lots of leaves falling. He smiled and nodded to himself, not bothering to give himself a punishment this time. He jumped up and caght all the leaves with both hands but one escaped his grasp. Lee pouted to himself then saw upon something that made him mad. A squirrel was there with a tag strapped to its back.

Lee gently called out to the animal, making little coo'ing sounds. The squirrel looked at Lee and slowly went over. It sniffed Lee for just a moment before crawling onto Lee's hand and scurrying up Lee's body.

Lee laughed lightly and tickled the squirrels head, gently removing the tag and throwing it away. He kept the squirrel on his shoulder and jumped into a tree. He grabbed an acorn and gave it to the squirrel. Lee looked around and noticed something pink in the slight distance.

"Sorry little squirrel, I have to go now." Lee said with a little smile before setting the squirrel down and running off.

Lee grit his teeth at what he came upon. Sakura was injured and her hair short. She sat in front of her injured team mates, trying to protect them. He watched just a little before he couldn't handle it anymore. He could't let anyone touch Sakura and her comrades again. He would protect them with his own power!

Lee jumped down "My apologies but I beleive you should take me on instead." He said, standing up and facing the sound-nin.

"You!?" Sakura said in surprise.

"This isn't your fight boy. Just leave and you won't get hurt." Dosu said, chuckling.

"I will not. My name is Rock Lee and I am a Konoha ninja! I will not leave my comrades to die!" Lee shot towards Rin and Zaku, he leaned forward and did a handstand, quickly using his arms to shoot himself, feet first, towards Zaku. Luckily, he hit his mark, his feet slamming into the mans face, sending him flying towards a tree. Lee landed on his feet and was about to turn towards Rin when he felt a pain on his head. He winced and a pang of disbelief shot through him

'She just...grabbed my hair?!' Lee had no idea why she would.

"You have such soft hair" she said with a sneer "such a shame, an ugly boy like you has such nice hair." Rin yanked on Lee's braid, taking out a kunai.

Lee frowned "Now that is uncalled for Ms." He gripped his own hair and pulled, making her fall forward "I did not insult your looks did I?" then he hit her pressure point, knocking her out.

Lee heard movement behind him and he dodged a blow to his head, landing a few feet away, crouching. He stood and glared at Dosu, assuming his favorite fighting position. Lee launched himself at the man but stepped back to quickly dodge a punch. A shock ran through his body out of no where and he winced, holding his ringing ears

'W-what?' he thought to himself 'but I dodged that blow!' he tried to shake it off then held his arms up to block another hit. He jumped back then cried out as pain suddenly assaulted him. Lee fell to his knee's holding his ears again. His vision blurred and he felt wetness sinking through his bandages.

"Like it?" Dosu said smugly "This device on my arm emits high frequency sounds that messes with your internal system, causing your vision to blur and you to loose your hearing."

Lee's head pounded and he ignored the blood dripping from his ears

"Lee-san!" he suddenly heard Sakura call out and he turned slightly, smiling at her

"Do not worry Sakura-san. I am alright!" he gave her a thumbs up then turned back to Dosu. Lee took a deep breath, unraveling his bandages, and opened the first gate. He ran to Dosu and kicked him high into the air. He followed the man and appeared under him. He let his bandages wrap the man up before grabbing him tightly then spinning them in the air. They headed back to the ground at a frightful speed. As soon as they hit the ground, Lee jumped away so he wouldn't get damaged in the attack. He panted slightly hard then froze as the dust cleared up.

Zaku had used his wind to cushion the ground where Dosu landed.

Dosu got out of the softened earth and brushed the dirt off himself "Heh close one." then his eye crinkled as he grinned evilly. Then Zaku came up,

"Why don't you let me have a turn." The man grinned as well as Dosu looked at him.

The bandaged man shrugged and said "Go ahead, but remember, we got to get the Uchiha."

Lee gulped, already feeling tired from opening the first gate. He got into a defensive position and said with a fool hearty grin.

"Give me your best shot!" Lee gave a 'come and get it' motion with his hand.

Suddenly a terrifying presence made itself known from behind him. Lee felt a cold shiver go down his spine as he slowly turned his head behind him. His heart betrayed him by skipping a beat as he was reminded of a certain red head.

Flashback

Lee finally got out of the Sabaku children's house. It wasn't that he disliked them, no! Lee was actually very fond of them now. He just wanted some time alone for just a little bit. He hadn't gotten that time alone sine he got there, and got even less time, if that was possible, since the...kiss...with Gaara two weeks ago.

Lee still blushed hotly at the thought and covered his mouth as he walked, feeling his heart thump quickly.

He shook his head, trying to push back the blush and odd excited feelings.

Lee held his fists in front of him in a soundless determined pose then began walking again. He sighed in content as the cold air brushed across his face

"It is so nice tonight..." He said softly, spreading his arms wide.

Lee giggled and took off in a run, unaware of who was following him. The former Konoha academy student ran to the park, the only area with some type of trees.

He smiled brightly when he saw them, and walked to them, already smelling the leaves and the bark. It made him sigh in peace as fonder memories of his village came to him. It was of the forests, how he could play with the animals there. Especially the squirrels, they liked to scurry all over his body. Lee loved all of the animals though.

Lee smiled again, taking a step closer then suddenly cried out in pain. He grabbed his shoulder only to feel a kunai sticking out of his flesh. It only made everything more real. He cried hard in pain, falling to the floor. He grabbed at the kunai and tore it from his shoulder, gasping in pain. His tiny body shook with the unfamiliar pain.

A big hand suddenly grabbed him and turned him around

"Sorry, orders are orders." A rough voice said and Lee tried to look through his tears.

Lee's head suddenly snapped to the side. He didn't realize what had happened until his cheek began throbbing. He couldn't speak, only cry. He hiccuped and looked up at the covered ninja, his eyes wide with fear and confusion.

"W-what? What did I do...?" Lee stuttered but then began to struggle. He didn't do anything to deserve this!

The man raised his hand again and hit Lee in the face, the stomach, the chest, until something began to his.

Lee gasped for air as the man was yanked off of him. He shakily tried to look and saw a stunning murderous aura. It was such a powerful force pressing down on him. Lee coughed up some blood as he slowly turned onto his side

"G-Gaara-kun...?" He whispered in pain as the red head turned furious eyes onto him

"Stay still Lee...I'll get rid of this worm" Gaara grinned and turned his sight to the sand ninja again. His lips turned up in a malicious smirk

"W-wait-"

"Sand coffin!" Gaara said, his voice suddenly going deep and raspy for such a young child.

Lee flinched as frightfully hot blood fell onto his body and he trembled at the sight of the dead body. He covered his eyes from the sight, not wanting to see such a thing. He just...he just couldn't handle it right now.

Sand slowly curled around his body, lifting Lee up.

"Don't look away Lee...I did this for you. He was hurting you..." Sand pulled Lee closer to Gaara, close enough that Gaara reached and put his hands on Lee's hips. He looked up at Lee who was still floating thanks to the sand and grinned "I won't let anyone hurt you. You are mine after all."

Lee shivered as he looked at Gaara with wide eyes, but inside his body...his heart wouldn't stop racing...in happiness.

End Flashback

A dark purple, almost black chakra swirled around what he thought was Sasuke. Lee couldn't help but to turn his back to the true enemies as his body wanted to submit to this immense pressure Sasuke was emiting. Even Sakura fell to her side in horrified awe.

"Sasuke-kun...what's happened to you...?" Sakura asked, confused.

"I finally realized what I was meant to be...an Avenger..." Sasuke spoke mostly to himself.

"S-sasuke-san?" Lee spoke so softly, not knowing what the almost fire-like marks, that were crawling over Sasuke's body, meant. Lee almost jumped as Sasuke's eyes snapped to him. The Uchiha slowly started walking towards him

"Hey...Lee" Sasuke started, in a dark, almost crazed voice "Who did that to you...?" his eyes locked onto Lee's and he smirked dangerously.

Lee gulped, feeling his body shiver and quake. This presence, this aura that Sasuke had,... Lee never thought he would ever feel this way again. His body ached for something, no, his body ached for that power, to have that power standing over him. Lee actually felt his legs tremble, threatening to give out on him and he had to look away, but he looked straight at the sound-nin that had been attacking them.

"I did it!" Zaku suddenly said, taking the credit.

"No Zaku, don't!" Dosu said franticly.

Sasuke's smirk turned into a grin and he started to chuckle, now staring right at Zaku.

Zaku gulped and quickly went into action.

"Watch this, I'll take care of all of them with one move!" He held his hands out in front of himself and forced chakra through the holes in his hands, causing an enormous and long blast of wind towards anything in front of him. Neji, Tenten, Shikamaru, Chouji, and Ino had to actually grab onto something to keep themselves there and hidden.

When the wind was gone, no one was there.

"Ha! Blew them away!" Zaku said proudly when suddenly

"Not quite." Sasuke said from behind Zaku before, what seemed like, barely back handing him. Yet Zaku flew across the clearing.

Lee blinked, realizing what Sasuke had done 'How...How did he get us all here so fast?' he wondered to himself, now sitting on the ground, staring at Sasuke.

"Fire style: Phoenix flower jutsu!" Sasuke called out after doing hand signs that were to quick to see.

Zaku immediately put another, smaller, blast of wind that only revealed the hidden shurukin within the fireballs. The sound-nin covered his face and chest against the projectiles, getting hit and his sides and arms. If Dosu hadn't shouted at him, Zaku would have missed Sasuke coming in from front, but he was still powerless to stop the boy.

Sasuke got behind Zaku and grabbed the mans arms, pulling them harshly to the back and placing a foot on Zaku's back

"You seem awfully attached to these arms..." he said, almost amused "It would be a shame if something happened to them..." then Sasuke grinned maliciously and started pulling.

"N-no! What are you doing!?" Zaku said, feeling pain as he tried to get away.

Lee could hear a sickening crack as Zaku's arms were bent to far backwards. Then he saw that the sound-nin was tossed aside.

"Seems your the only one left...hope you make things more interesting then your friend did." Sasuke said, turning to Dosu.

Lee feared for Sakura and Naruto's safety so he got up and ran to Sasuke, hoping that Sakura would take Naruto and run for now. He thought himself crazy but he had to protect his new found friends!

Lee got in front of Sasuke and wrapped his arms around him tightly, pinning his arms to his sides.

"Stop!" Lee said, slightly trembling "Don't do this!"

Lee could see Sasuke's head turn just slightly and feel those red eyes on him. Lee held tighter, afraid that if he let go, Sasuke would get too carried away. Lee took just a moment to see if Sakura took Naruto but saw her only standing there, wide eyed. For a moment, Lee couldn't help but to feel frustrated but quickly pushed it back.

"Please...Sasuke." Lee added, hoping the plea would help.

Lee, out of no where, felt Sasuke lean his head closer to him and inhale deeply. Lee blinked, feeling confused but stayed still. Then Sasuke growled, he freed an arm from Lee's hold and raised it to Lee's neck.

Lee gasped softly, thinking that Sasuke was going to strangle him but he couldn't move. He feared what would happen if he did.

Sasuke grabbed the hardened sand around Lee's neck and broke it, his nails cutting into Lee's pale apricot skin, intent on making a claim to replace what claim the sand had.

Lee bit his lip against a slight whimper as the nails cut deep enough to give him a new scar. Suddenly, Sasuke fell against Lee, causing them both to fall to the ground. Lee kept his hold on the younger boy, cushioning his fall with himself.

Sasuke was panting, feeling pained and exhausted. He sat up, moving away from Lee, to look at him.

"Are you ok?" Lee asked softly, concerned.

Sasuke stayed silent for a moment, just staring at Lee before nodding "I'm fine..."

"You're strong Sasuke" Dosu spoke up, reaching into his sleeve. He pulled out a scroll "Too strong. We can't hope to defeat you the way you are now." Dosu kneeled, placing the scroll down

"We'll strike a deal, I give you the scroll and you let us go..."

Lee and Sasuke looked at the ninja surprised.

Dosu kept speaking but Lee looked at the scroll, he felt happy that his new friends at least got this and he hoped that it was the right scroll. Lee looked at Sakura, who was now just sitting there, and sighed.

Sakura suddenly shouted out, asking about an Orochimaru as Dosu took his team mates and started walking away.

He looked back at Sasuke to see that he was staring at his shaking hand

"Just what am I..." Sasuke's voice slightly trembled as he spoke to himself.

Lee's gaze turned concerned then he shook he head. He placed a hand over Sasuke's and said

"You are human, you are a Konoha ninja, you are Sasuke Uchiha." Lee smiled gently, his eyes going halfway closed "And that's all that matters."

Sasuke stared at Lee, feeling strange on the inside. He gulped and nodded slightly, looking down at Lee's hand that was still touching his own. His own fingers began to curl around the hand when Lee slowly pulled it away.

"Hey, bushy brow!" Naruto's voice came out of no where but then he was suddenly hit by Sakura

"Don't you dare insult Lee-san!" She shouted, feeling the need to at least do this, since he did try and rescue them.

Lee laughed lightly and stood up. He noticed that two other teams were there too. Team Ten (Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji.) and his own team. Lee smiled brightly and took a step towards Tenten and Neji then noticed that the later looked very...angry.

"ehehe...What did I do?" Lee asked Tenten nervously.

Tenten glared as well "Lee, you moron! What do you think you were doing, trying to take on those sound-nins by yourself!" She continued on, scolding the taijutsu user.

Lee sighed, slumping back down to his butt and curling into a ball, feeling properly scolded

"Sorry Tenten...I saw them in trouble and...I just could not help myself..." Lee said sadly "I am so-" Lee stopped and looked around. He stood up quickly, suddenly gaining a nervous look.

"Lee?" Tenten question, having never seen Lee act this way.

"I..I have to get to higher ground!" Lee turned and jumped, but he was barely a foot off the ground when sand suddenly encircled his foot, yanking him back to the ground. Lee yelped as he was quickly sinking into the sand that was now beneath him. He clawed at the ground, trying to get out, but the last thing he saw was Neji and Sasuke running towards him, before he had to close his eyes against the tan sand.

Thats all for now~ I love GaaLee sooo much! Yay!
