Lee's Journey to Find an Identity

Chapter 5: Ah…

Lee lay in the hospital room doing nothing but staring at the ceiling. Not because he couldn't find anything else to do, but because this was all he could do. He was temporarily paralyzed neck down; even opening his mouth was painful. His whole body was bandaged up to his chin. Apparently according to Tsunade, quite smugly, his body went into shock after he was beaten up so horribly. If you're wondering how Neiji sending Lee into LEO could result in such awful pain to our wary hero, well lets just say Neiji's gotten very good at aiming and lets also add our hero's fall into the women's public bath house where at that moment had the company of some of the strongest women in Konoha. Oh yeah…and lets add lots of screams (from Lee) and a lot of killer intent. So much so that a group of very powerful ninjas decided today was not a good day to try and invade Konoha.

"Ohayo, Fuzzy Eyebrows!" Shouted the world's most loudest ninja of surprise…Uzumaki Naruto. Lee flinched. Suddenly his body and mind was drained of YOUTH and he thought of what his sensei would do. The thought of his sensei weeping...sorta annoyed him. This fact frightened Lee sooo much that Lee didn't even notice Naruto eating his fruit.

"Naruto...What do you...think of me?" Lee suddenly asked. Naruto had a thoughtful look, then he smiled.

"I think you're…hmm…how did he say it…gay…Yeah! That's right! I think you're a very gay person, Lee!" Lee's eyes widened. His fears were answered…He was truly gay.

"…and…what do you…think…of…gay people?" Naruto looked confused.

"Whaddya mean?"

"Well…do you like gay people?" Lee tried to peek over the corners of his eye as he pretended to look at the window, but failed. He hoped Naruto liked gay people because two of the people, no, make that three since HE, too, is gay, are gay.

"Well, of course! I like you right? In fact, I do declare that I, Uzumaki Naruto, am probably the most gayest person in Konoha! No! Make it the world!" Lee's eyes bulged…

"Na…Naruto…? You, too?" Naruto smiled and finished off his, erm…Lee's apple. Lee had tears gushing out of his eyes.

"Yes! We are gay! Both of us are Gay!"

"Uh-huh, we are! We're super, incredibly gay!"

"…" Lee heard a gasp and then a "thunk!" He turned to see…

"Ah! Sakura! Nani! Oi! Sakura-chan! Baka, Sasuki-teme! What are you doing! Help me get her up!"

"Na…Naruto! I have something to confess, as well!" At this moment Sakura was coming to.

"Nani? What is it?"

"(Ahem) I, too, am gay!" Sasuke declared.

"Ieyahhh!" Sakura once again fainted.

"Eh? No you're not, Sasuke! You're a prick…(blah, blah, blah)" But Lee's ears were closed long ago…All he could think was that…He wasn't alone!

In the following days, Lee recovered well enough and as soon as he stepped out of the hospital, he declared his new found sexuality to all of Konoha atop the Hokage Monument.

"All of Konoha! I have something to say!" Lee ignored the fact that no one was stopping to listen or the fact that they were ignoring him but they sure stopped when he declared: "I am GAY!"

Let's just say Konoha was filled in silence for the rest of the day.

"Lee!" Gai had tears in his eyes.

"Gai-sensei!" Lee yelled back.

"Lee!" Gai cried.

"Gai-sensei!" Lee looked sad.

"…Lee…" Gai covered his face.

"Gai-sensei!" Bonk! Tonk! An angry Ten Ten stood over the two moaning ninjas.

"Quiet already!"

"B..But!"

"No buts, Gai-sensei! You've gotta accept the fact that Lee is gay! And you Lee!..."

"Hai! Lee looked up at her with freaky, sparkly horribly bad imitation of puppy-eyes.

"Why…why are you dressed like that?" Ten Ten yelled pointing at what Lee was wearing.

"Oh! You mean this?" He picked up the edges of his flower-pattern skirt and twirled around. "I also discovered that Gay men like to cross dress so I shall wear a skirt!"

"Oh…is that all…?"

"Hai! Which must be why I must now go and be with…blush…my boyfriend!" Ten Ten anime dropped.

"H...How? When?" Lee smiled.

"It was today…this morning in fact. He asked me out! This must be what love is like!" Lee smiled brightly. So brightly Ten Ten could've sworn she went blind for the day. Lee giggled as he thought of his boyfriend as he skipped off.

"Well, I gotta go meet him now! Ja ne!" He said over his shoulder as he continued on.

Ten Ten sat for a moment before weeping uncontrollably. When had Hell froze over?

A figure stood tall and looked like a sore thumb in the crowd. It spotted it's goal and headed towards it or more like him. In a skirt.

"Lee…" Lee turned and smiled.

"Oh! You're here! Let's ear!" And Lee dragged him off.
