...................
"Can I go live with Ojisan now, pleeeease?" Begs Lee, bouncing from foot to excited foot.
His parents promised him that when he was feeling better he could go stay with his uncle Maito Gai in the country side to attend school. But they have yet to own up to their words. Nariko shakes her head. The energy of a 9 year old is something to be amazed by. Lowering the freshly folded towels into her son's arms she gives him a little push from the laundry room. The two head down the hall of the apartment arriving at the linen closet. Sliding open the wooden white-slatted doors, Nariko sets down the basket then removes the towels from the child; smiling down at his up-turned smiling face, before she stuffs them onto the closet shelf. Lifting the basket back into her arms she travels down the hall into her son's bedroom in the center at the end of the hall.
Nariko begins to hum a happy little tune she's hunted for on the radio dozens of times and has yet to figure out whom sings it so she can buy the album. Lee watched his mother as she left then he trots off after her. When he sees that she hasn't responded to his question, he has to wonder.
"Okaasan? Can you here me?" He tugs her sleeve. "About uncle Gai's house?"
"Lee," his mother turns her full attention on him now. "your father has yet to get the train ticket because to do that he has to get the money for it. Do you understand?"
Straight backed, he salutes with a reply "Yes." as his Ojisan does.
Nariko's son takes many traits from her brother Gai. Lee idolizes the man completely. It doesn't help that Gai keeps saying the boy is cut from the Maito genes and doesn't have a single ounce of Rock blood in his body. But he doesn't mean that in any cruel way, he only says it to get on her husband, Rock Kinniku's, nerves.
With a smile she says. "Good." Tossling the boy's hair, she then says. "Now go get a glass of water, it's time for your medicine."
Lee rushes off without a word; Nariko sighs wearily. Truth of the matter is, the Rocks are a very well-to-do family and could buy the tickets for the train at least 30 times, if they wanted. But both Nariko and Kinniku are worried about their son's condition. The couple have been in and out of the hospital due to Lee's insistance of being active. He can overcome his disease, but how do you explain to a 9 year old that he shouldn't over excert his self? Lee's heart rate is very slow, so pushing it all at once is dangerous if he doesn't know how to pace it. So for now he has to wait on living with uncle Gai. Nariko's brother is... well he's... to put it blunt, eratic and spontanious which makes him completely incapable of watching over Lee while he attends school. The man can't even visit without challenging Kinniku to an arm wrestling match or some other ridiculous challenge. The two met at a party Dr. Shiko was having for all the dentist and their wives; since Gai isn't married he brought her along. That was when Kinniku caught her eye and he seemed to feel the same way about her. Feeling Kinniku wasn't up to the Maito standards, Gai's golf buddy became his new target of challenges until the day the man could win up to his expectations. Poor Kinniku probably never will. But she's Gai's baby sister and their parents have always told him since he was six to watch out for her, and he has that imbedded into his heart.
Bouncing back into the room, his little chest crackling from the distance to the kitchen and back having taken a toll already. The boy bent over taking some deep breaths to calm himself down. It broke Nariko's heart seeing that her son smiled even when his condition was acting up on him.
"Here you are." He holds the glass out to his mother.
Smiling, she places the pill into the cup watching carefully as the boy downs the glass of water. When he was younger he used to hide it under spoonfuls of apple sauce or extra mushy peas, but he finally broke away from that and takes them with water. Head tilted back he takes it all, the pill slipping down as though it were liquid itself. Once done, he lowered the glass with a refreshed 'aaaa' then handed his mother the glass.
"Done. Mom, is it alright if I go out and play for a while?"
Leaving the boy's bedroom, having dropped off his underpants and clean clothes, she walks into the kitchen to return the glass to the sink. "Where?" Nariko asks, although she has a pretty good idea where.
Wincing, he hoped she wouldn't ask questions this time. Shoulders back he says. "The park." He grabs the counter top, feet crooked upward, he twist them back and forth to rock himself while he watches his mother clean the glass then place it into the dishwasher.
"Who's going with you?"
Turning his wide-set eyes to the ceiling, he thinks. "Just some friends, Souzou will be there." The neighbor's kid. His best friend since Hyuuga Neji moved away when he was seven or six.
Thinking it over, Nariko sets her hand on her son's shoulder then says kindly. "Alright. Be sure your phone is with you."
"Okay."
"And if you feel even the slightest bit tired," she points a finger at him to let him know these are must-follow rules. "You find somewhere to sit and relax yourself."
"I promise." He salutes getting that that was an order.
Tossling his end bristled hair, she says finally. "Bye sweetie."
Grin on his face, he says nearly in a shout. "Bye Mom!"
3 years later...
12 year old Rock Lee and his mother Nariko are on the train to Tohoku, so she can drop her son off to live with his uncle Gai in the country side. The young teen can hardly sit still as the scenery passes quickly by like broccoli in a food fight. His mother had to place her hand on his shoulder just to keep him seated; the eyes of an old couple across from them are staring at her son with distaste about his excitement. He's never been to the country before, uncle Gai has always come to visit them. He gets to attend school and he'll live with his uncle until Junior year. His parents weren't gonna give full freedom to the double-trouble that easily, and informed a check up visit twice every month. The deal was sealed and after the three hour train ride and a two day wait out from his mother, the boy began school in the middle of the year.
A bit nervous, Lee took an empty seat behind a spikey haired boy after introducing himself to the class. They seemed less than enthusiastic about the boy being there but that was how kids were at this age. The boy turned in his desk the moment Lee's bottom hit the seat; his sharp-toothed grin caught the new teen's eye Lee smiled back hoping that the student's smile was friendly and not the start for taunt. His sharp gaze winked an eye at him then he said in a happy voice.
"Man did you get lucky, coming to school in the middle of the year, and on a day when we're having a field trip."
"Thanks." Not sure what else to say.
In return, he says. "I'm Inuzuka Kiba."
Holding out a hand he replies. "Rock Lee."
"Cool." He shakes his hand.
The teacher having quickly taken attendance sends the slip on its way to the office with a student that comes around to collect them from all the classrooms in the one hall. "Alright people, buddy-up and line up at the door."
Glancing at the teacher he then turns back around to look at Lee. "Be my buddy?"
Blinking, he smiles with hope of having scored his first friend. "Yes, thank you." He salutes.
Laughing at the odd child Kiba says, standing as he does. "Boring museum, you gotta have someone to have all sorts of crazy ass fun with." He tosses an arm around the new kid.
Mouth agape from Kiba's swearing at his age, he recovers one shock then inquires because of the other. "And you picked me?" He mostly meant 'out of everyone in class that you already know, you choose the new guy.'
"Sure," he walks them toward the door. "kick ass, right?"
"Aha." He laughs nervously wondering if swearing was a serious habit of the fanged teen "Sure. Thank you, Kiba-kun."
"Huh?" Shaking his head, he says. "Drop the 'kun' thing, and I'll be your best friend from now on."
"Okay. Kiba." He says easily.
"Cool, now let's have some fun." Fist in the air, the two walk out the door.
And they did have fun, wandering from the group and looking at this and that, taking pictures with the instant cameras the museum handed out to the pairs; Kiba even came over to Lee's uncle's house the next day to walk with him to school. Being with Kiba was great, and the two of them became fast friends and it remained the two of them for a while.
June 2nd 2002.
Lee is outside doing sit-ups unaware that he's being watched from someone living in the house across the street. Uchiha Sasuke hums a second as if to say 'never seen you before'. Lookig up from his book, Neji cocks a brow then glances past his friend to the window.
"What's so interesting out there?" He asks.
Pointing, he replies. "This boy,"
Blinking, Neji gets up from the armchair heading over to the couch. Placing one knee down on the seat, he pulls over a bit of the curtain to look out just as quick as he did this he returned it in front of the glass then took a normal seat on the couch. "Shit."
"What?" Mimicking his friend's posture, he cocks his head to the side. "Who is that?"
"The biggest headache you'll ever meet." Returning to the armchair, he retrieves the book he set down. "Back when I was a kid," he then began saying. "We lived in the same apartment complex. We started out as friends but as time went by everyday with the 'Neji, Neji', it's tiresome."
"Mm." Responds the bluenet.
Neji's digital watch starts to beep and he turns it off without a second thought.
"What's that for?"
"Hm?" He tried to look surprised. "Nothing. I need to use the restroom." Getting up he leaves the spacious living room heading for the downstairs bathroom.
Watching his friends departure, Sasuke then glances back at the window before getting up and leaving his house.
"23... 24..." He lowers his self to the grass a couple hard pants escape his mouth before he comes back up. "25..." Down. Up. "26."
"1."
Says another voice at his side. Startled, Lee jumps a foot, clutching his hand to his chest seeing someone sitting there. Why didn't he hear him walk up? He watched the boy for a moment, then returned to his own counting. If this person wanted to join him he was fine with it, it's nice to have someone to work out with him. Kiba is busy visiting his grandparents this week and it's been pretty lonely without him. He should have made more friends by now but he's been so busy with Kiba tugging him around for a year it was kind of hard.
"Yo." The boy finally said after reaching 15.
"Hello." Says Lee with less calm in his voice as he, whom suddenly arrived. It's about quitting time. Stopping after coming back up, he places his index and middle finger to his neck. Looking at his watch he checks his heart rate while catching his breath. It seems normal. Turning to his visitor who'd stopped as well, he holds out a hand. "I'm Rock Lee."
"Uchiha Sasuke." He shakes his hand. "Are you new here? I've never seen you before."
"Yes. I moved in with my uncle last year. I'm gonna be staying with him until my Junior year." Grinning, he says happily. "It's nice to meet you!"
Smirking, Sasuke laughs to himself.
Cocking a brow, Lee asks sportingly. "What's so funny?"
Shrugging, Sasuke says. "You're funny looking, Lee."
"You think so?" He laughs.
Shaking his head, he used the guy's shoulder to support him as he stands. "Yeah." Brushing the grass from his clothes he asks. "You wanna hang out tomorrow?" He juts his thumb across the street. "I live right over there."
Looking at the house, he says. "Yeah! Thank you." Shooting up from the grass, he rocks on his feets a bit. Letting out a breath he straightens up. "You'll come to get me right? I'm here all day."
"Lee!" Calls Gai from what sounds like the distance of the kitchen. "It's 4:15!"
Cupping a hand beside his mouth he shouts back. "I'm coming Ojisan! See you tomorrow, Sasuke." With a bow he turns on his heels and heads inside the house.
"Sure." Sasuke says to the newbie's retreating back. Hands into his pockets he strolls across the street picking up his pace when he sees his brother's car speeding down the street a little faster than usual, which could only mean that Kisame is driving. He wished his brother would stop letting his boyfriend drive; once he almost hit him! Which is why he'd sped up upon seeing them.
The horn beeped and Sasuke waves a hand before disappearing inside.
Gai gives the glass to Lee then hands him an Atropine to drop inside. "I see you've met the neighbor's boy," says his uncle with pride in his voice.
Nodding as he drinks, the water in the glass bobbing up and down as he does this, Lee finishes his daily chore then sets the glass into the sink. "His name is Sasuke; we're gonna hang out tomorrow."
"Wonderful!" He slaps a hand onto his shoulder. "I knew my Lee would be the hit of the county."
Blushing, he responds by saying. "I've only made one friend in an entire year."
Wagging a finger the, uneasily swayed from his opinion, uncle says. "Best friends are hard to turn into a moresome, so sometimes it takes a while, but soon you'll have dozens of friends."
"Oh sure, Ojisan." Says Lee while thinking. What would I do with all those friends?
December 20th, 2003.
"If I had known it would be this cold, I would have stayed home and read." Complained Neji rubbing his coat-clad arms vigorously, hoping that that would supply him with some more heat.
"Where's your inner body heat. Nene?" Says the Uchiha shouldering the boy as he skates past.
"I left it at home in front of the fireplace." Retorts the shivering, ignoring the name. "Where's Lee?" He asks looking about the ice. He spotted Kiba speeding around easily, but no sign of the skinny 14 year old.
Looking around, Sasuke shrugs. "I saw him fall somewhere." He looks about the rink again. "There he is, I'll get him." Skating away from the wall, Sasuke scoops up the helpless skater, allowing him to support his weight on him.
Neji, sitting on the bench beside the rink, replaces the covers to the blades of his skates. Giving them a securing pat he then walks over to the snack stand set out in the center of the snow covered field. "4 please." He says to the woman behind the counter then takes out his wallet.
The young woman blushed taking one look at the 15 year old. She's never seen anyone so striking! And the wintery back-drop was only aiding his fine features. Shaking herself from staring, she begins to fix the drinks. "Would you like a shot of flavor in any of these, we have um..."
"No. Thank you." He interrupts her; setting the money onto the counter top. Looking past her to small racks of baking sheets. "And a cinnamon twist as well."
"Just the one?" She asks.
"Yes." Neji looks back out at the ice to locate his friends, looking back to the counter when the sound of the paper holder slides across to him, he picks it up then grabs the doughnut. "Thank you."
"Uh sure, have a nice day." She calls after him.
Returning to the bench, he sets the cocoas down beside him then opens the warm pastry taking a bite from it. Watching Sasuke and Lee work on keeping the taller boy balanced was hillarious, and he knew he wouldn't hear the end of the Uchiha's complaining once they were alone. Neji didn't think it was such a good idea hanging out with his childhood friend again but Lee had proven real maturity about the whole thing having grown up without him over the years. He's no longer that five year old brat following him around calling him cool, and showing to him any little thing that he thought would interest him- when it didn't. He's like... normal- sort of. Lee introduced them to his friend Kiba, whom Sasuke knew from summer camp many years ago. Neji noticed the rambunctious boy at school from time to time but never thought much about him. Kiba's actually really nice. Setting his dessert down on his lap, he grabs a hot chocolate uncaps it then takes a long drink, not really caring about the burn just so long as it took the nip from his bones. He's used to the harsh winters, having lived here for so long but it can still be biting a bit.
Neji was much better off than Lee is right now, when he experienced his first winter living here. He's pretty much a natural at everything he does but still it's strange; it didn't snow in the part of Tokyo where he and his childhood friend used to live. So the change was great by far. His father actually thought something terrible was coming when snow just began to fall from the sky. They've seen it on tv but to actually see it in person, major freak show.
"Don't pull me down with you!"
He hears Sasuke shout right before his butt hit the ice rather hard.
Snickering, he calls to them. "Let's call it a day, you guys! Lee will freeze to death by the time he gets it."
Kiba skates up beside the two like a bat-out-of-hell to help Sasuke scoop up his friend. "Up we go." He slings one of his arms around him. "You'll get it." Assured Kiba.
"I'll keep practicing, I promise." Says Lee.
The skaters stop by the bench quickly nabbing for a drink when they see that Neji bought them one. Everyone but Lee, who is holding onto the wooden pole surrounding the rink. He's breathing hard like he can't find his breath.
"Lee," Neji says. "Are you alright."
"I'm... fine.." He smiles weakly giving a thumbs up to them.
"But your lips are blue." Insists his childhood friend.
Straightening up, Lee says "I'm really cold guys." right before he collapses onto the snow.
May 1, 2004. 4:12 p.m.
Since his accident over winter break Rock Lee has been trying to further build his stamina. He simply can't keep having these problems. If he does, his mother will continue to smother him and force him to come back home to be under her care. He's doing fine with his uncle; and since he's moved here he's really only ever had two major attacks. A couple gasped breaths here and there are nothing. But man, he had no clue just how rough the winters were in the country side. Lee guessed that it was because, unlike in the city, there are no tall buildings to cut back on the wind from blowing through your clothes. Not to mention snow. Neji told him that it looks like smaller feathers dropping from the sky and somehow these weightless things turn into heavy snow. That's just so odd. Winter mostly took him by surprise because he'd spent the year before at home in Tokyo with his uncle and family, he had no clue what he was in for, because if he had, he'd of worn one more shirt and long-johns under his jeans.
So now, Rock Lee is outside building resistance in the nippy May air. Power walking down the side walk, each cheek moving with his hurried pace. It actually looked like the teen was sweeping the side walk with how his feet are shuffling along the concrete. Arms bent to a perfect right angle pushing forward and back with his legs, maybe a human choo-choo best described the sight that passersbys were giggling at a bit. But Lee paid them no mind, he looked funny and he knew it, everyone who walks like this looks funny it's the price you have to pay when you're unable to run. A few people wave at him, some say 'hello', but he can only nod as speaking while he's trying to keep his breathing even would be costly. Rounding a corner, he stops upon hitting a small crowd of people waiting to cross the street. Good time for a break. Ceasing his movement, he places his fingers to his neck while checking his watch.
Not bad. He acknowledges. Shivering from the wind that just blew by, he begins to move with the human traffic that was heading across the street. Pace a little more rapid than he expected, Lee decided it was time for an actual break. Walking a bit further along, he spots a bench. Perfect. At least he thought so until a hill caught his eye. Wetting his lips he brings the bottom one in for a thoughtful nibble. Okay. If I can't make it up that hill for a rest then I'll do twenty nine push-ups to make up for it. With an affirmed nod, he turns at the bench and starts up the hill. It was a bit steeper than he thought, having to pump his legs gave him a second wind as he paced up the mini-erosion of earth.
As he hit the top ready to give himself a little cheer his words sputtered to a hault. The top of the hill is already being occuppied by three boys. A blond, a brunet, and a red head who is staring at him right now. His foamy colored gaze locked hard with his own. Lee's never seen anyone so striking before, this guy just stole his breath away. His pale face, his red hair, the peaceful, yet, bitter look on his face. He's strange and yet beautiful. The staring contest seemed to last forever until the red haired beauty blinked, therefore releasing the hold he had on Lee.
"S- sorry." He choked out before speeding down the hill back to the bench. He could wait to use the hill, after all, they were there first. Taking a seat on the bench below he settles his nerves that were running all over the place. He really shouldn't let those sorts of things get to him so easily. He's seen cute guys before- look at his friends! But this one... Something about him is... different.
It was about a half hour later when the three hill-toppers came walking down; talking and joking with each other about something Lee couldn't hear, except for the boy he had been staring at, who was just sort of walking beside the two, though, Lee can tell he was listening to them.
"Bye man!" Shouted the blond. It didn't even seem he needed much effort to shout either, he just naturally talked that way.
"Bye." Says the red head over his shoulder as he's once again locked in a gaze with Lee while passing by him. It looked like he was trying to figure out whom he might be, or if he's ever seen him before?
It was starting to make Lee uncomfortable, he's never had such a hard gaze on him before, of course, he was no better since he's staring back. But it's thankful that he chose to stare back as well, if he hadn't he wouldn't have seen the sight he was about to witness. Pulse racing, he starts to run toward the red head, who was beginning to cross the street just as a mini sports car was speeding down it.
"Hey!" He called to the younger teen. "Watch out!"
But he wasn't fast enough and what he saw next would be burned into his brain forever. The younger boy turned his gaze just in time to see the car coming at him! Even if he did notice the vehicle sooner he never would have been fast enough to get out of the way as the car slammed right into him! A scream tore through the air from a woman who, like Lee, was watching the whole thing as a 12 maybe 13 year old boy was hurled back about ten feet before smacking into the concrete with an impact so hard Lee could actually hear the boy's nose break with a loud popping sound, he may have even lost some teeth. He toppled over three times before coming to a stop face down against the curb of the street. The driver of the car slowed for a moment, but sped off after having a brief panic attack. He wasn't the only one panicking as a small crowd began to gather around the boy who was hit. The red head's hands came down onto the ground and he slowly tried to lift himself up, arms shaking in pain as he did so. He looked like a zombie that got hold of a very satisfying meal, blood smeared all over his face.
Shaking like a leaf from a tree himself, Lee pulled out his cell calling an ambulance telling them to hurry as soon as they could. They tried to get more out of him, but his shaken body had been through enough; blood pressure higher than normal, even after he had had a long enough break while sitting on the bench. Vision blurred heavily, Lee felt himself starting across the street toward the fallen but he only made it far enough to drop down above him on the street.
