Lee and Me

Chapter 1: Where exactly AM I?

Etsuko's point of view

I'm what you call normal. Maybe a little hyperactive, but normal. Sort of. I have friends. Yup, and quite a lot of them. Oh, I'm Etsuko Lunkes and I'm 12. So, it started out as as a normal day. Me, being bored out of my mind. My mom, being a neat freak. I, like always, go on my computer to watch Naruto. "BWAAAAAAA YESSS NARUTO IS TURNING FOXXXYYYY!" I yelled. "What now," my mom answered. "No-no-nothing," I stammerd, not showing my joy. "Oh, Etsuko, a tornado is supposd to hit Chicago. It will probably pass over like the other times." "Yeah." I didn't know what I was in for.

Then it started. The tornado, I mean. Whirling us around like a dead fish in a toilet. I ran for shelter in my basement. My mom ran to go get something. Then, in a blink of an eye, the basement started unlatching. "CRAPPITY CRAP CRAPPPP! I DON'T FEEL LIKE DYING TODAYYYY!" I screamed. Then it unlatched. Grabbing my favorite teddy bear, I plummled into the tornado. Squezzing teddy, I whirl. I whirl so fast, I can't feel my legs. I was whirling for 5 minutes "This is it." I whispered to myself. And I was flung out of the tornado.

I always thought it would be cool to fly. But I didn't really want to experiece it this way. No. Not this way. I hit the ground. I fell my strengh fading and my injuries getting worse. "This time, it's really the end." I croaked, as I could barely breath. Then the world darkened and silenced. Only it wasn't night.

I opened my eyes a little bit. My body ached all over. But there, standing before me, was a bright green blur. As my vision focesed, I saw an outline of a kid my age. Man, he had no fashion secence whatsoever. My vision focused again. Could it be...? No, thats impossible. He's from an anime. But... wait, it is! No way! Rock Lee, the leaf village's handsome devil, was standing in frount of me!

"Where...am I?" I questioned Lee. Just to make sure though, I asked " Who are you?" "Why, I am Rock Lee! And you are in the forest right outside the village in the leaves!" "You MUST be JOKING." I rolled my eyes. "How did you find me, anyway, Lee?" "You fell out of the sky" he answered, like it was the most normal thing that has happened. "Here. You must be kinda brusied up. Yea, I can tell. It's almost like you've been training with me out here. I'll take you to the Konoha hospital. Come, let us go! Grab onto my back!" I did what the told me, and he got me the hospital pronto. "Hello, it is Lee. I need your help. Can you attend to this girl, quickly? Please?" asked Rock Lee in a concerenderd, fast voice. "Yes, she looks badly injured. Come quickly, Lee, we haven't any time to lose." said the nurse. And she put me in a comfy bed with soft blankets. They put an IV on me. "You'll need to let her be for 3 days, Lee. Then you can take her out". "Alright" The green boy ansered, looking sad while doing it. And the nurse left, leaving me and Lee.

Lee's point of view

She went to sleep right after, for about three days, just like the doctor said. I stayed beside her the whole time. Well, most of the time. Guy-sensei, the world's best sensei, caught me red-handed taking food from our house. "Lee, what do you think your doing?" asked Guy-sensi, in his deep voice. "W-we-well, I-I am j-just..." Guy-sensi cut me off. "I havent seen you latly, Lee, and it's worring me. You NEVER miss a training, and when I look for you, your nowhere to be seen. What is a boy like you doing sneaking around? It isn't like you." "I am sorry Guy-sensi. But I really must be going". And I ran off to the hospital. "Leeeee! Waaaiiittt! Guy-sensi called. I hollered back, sheding a stream of tears, "I am sorry Guy-sensiiiiii!" I made my way to her hospital room. While eating an apple, I sit, and wait. I sigh. This might take a while for her to wake up.
