Summary: Lee does something unsuspected to win a fight against Neji.

Disclaimer: Once upon a time there was a person who said they owned Naruto. They did not own him. They got in trouble. That person was not me and it will never be me. Me no own da Naruto.

"Owww…" said a very worn out Lee, trudging his way home after getting his butt thoroughly kicked by Neji. "How can I beat him…?" Lee wondered out loud. "Gai-sensei said once that you could distract your opponent with something and they wouldn't see the attack coming…but what other ways are there to distract someone that I have not already used? Hmmm…". He thought about this until he reached his apartment to find the mess of green jumpsuits that had been painted with orange spirals earlier that day. He winced at the sight, but remembered that Sakura had been distracting him while Naruto was painting his trademark on Lee's poor innocent wardrobe. "I know what I can do!" said Lee out loud again.

"Neji! Hey, Neji! Wait up, will you?" Tenten yelled, running to catch up with her teammate. "What do you want, Tenten?" asked Neji, annoyed at her for interrupting what could have been a quite peaceful walk home and was also annoyed because he knew what she was about to say. "Neji, do you really think you needed to go that hard on Lee? I mean, you could have gone a little easy on him, couldn't you?". Neji was right on target, probably because Tenten always seemed to ask him something to that effect. Ignoring her question he walked off, hoping she wouldn't follow him. He had no such luck.

"Come on, Neji. It's only sparring for god's sake. You could just let him win to boost his self-esteem!"

"His self-esteem doesn't need boosting. He already thinks he's going to win everything. I think his self-esteem actually needs a good kick in the butt"

"But Nej-"

"No"

"I just think you could-"

"No"

"Just one time!"

"You always ask me this. And what do I always end up saying?"

"…No…"

"Correct"

Tenten glared at Neji, who walked off without saying another word.

Lee, although happy that he finally knew how he was going to defeat his eternal rival, was stressed out because he couldn't find any jumpsuits that were clean, not painted on and not ripped. He desperately needed something to wear to dinner. Lee and his team had been invited by Gai to join him and Kakashi. "Hey, Lee, whatcha doing?" asked Sakura, poking her head in an open window. "Oh, hello Sakura-san. I am trying to find something to wear to dinner with Gai-sensei, Neji-kun, Tenten-san and Kakashi" Lee said, turning his head to greet his friend, but turned it back quickly to try and find clothes. "Oh…yeah…sorry about earlier…" said Sakura, remembering when she had taken Lee out for lunch while Naruto got busy creating his clothing masterpieces. "No problem! It actually gave me an idea of how I could defeat Neji-kun" said Lee, not looking up. "Um…do you need some clothes? I have one of Sasuke-kun's shirts in my closet- I mean…oops" said Sakura, revealing her secret hobby of stealing trivial things from Sasuke's house. But Lee was too busy to notice, and continued his search. "Ah! Finally!" he said, pulling a jumpsuit out from under his bed. Forgetting Sakura was staring right at him he stripped down and changed into the clean outfit. When he remembered that she was watching he turned around and saw that she wasn't there anymore. He stuck his head through the window and looked down and saw a very fainted Sakura. "Well that's just perfect" he announced sarcastically. He quickly walked outside and retrieved the girl, then brought her back inside and laid her down on his couch. "Damn it!" he yelled looking at his clock. "I only have ten minutes to get ready!!"

Gai was waiting outside some random restaurant that he thought Kakashi might like, waiting for his rival and his students. As the minutes ticked by, he grew more and more worried. Not about the infamously late Jounin, but about his students. Especially Neji. He was never late. NEVER. Some of his fear subsided when he saw the kunoichi of his team running up to him at full speed. "I'm so sorry I'm late! The clock in my room broke and my mom was supposed to tell me when it was 6:45 but she said she forgot…hey where is everyone else?" she asked. "They haven't arrived yet" said Gai, thinking of the few possibilities there were that could make Neji late.

Lee eventually got there, and Kakashi appeared about 20 minutes later with his team. "Are we finally ready to go inside?" asked Neji as he jumped down from where he was perched on a tree limb.

Short chapter, right? Only like 800 words! So how do you like my new story so far, hmm? I'm probably not going to write anymore of my other one until I get at least four reviews for the 8(?) chapters and countless hours I've put in. By the way I got the idea for this one at about 3:00 in the morning and couldn't get it out of my head, so I know it's kinda weird and crappy. So please please PLEASE review!!!!

I promise I'll send you a nice message and/or review one of your stories.

With love,

Some Bitch You Hate
