CH.1: TRAINING

"RRRR!" Autumn grunted, pushing her sword against her sensei's while he pushed down on hers with his own.

"You've got to thrust yourself now." he grunted.Autumn tried hard, but couldn't do it.

"Come on Autumn!" she told herself, "PUSH!!" But finally, she fell backwards. Looking up at him, she could see a little smile. "Well! You lasted longer than 5 seconds! Now you've lasted 10!"

"But I WILL get better sensei! I PROMISE!!" Hayate smiled, then shook his head, "You remind me of me when I was young." He then frowned as he looked at the horizon.Autumn got up off her feet, then looked with him.

"Is something wrong sensei?""No, it's nothing...Look, go find Fabienne and Lizzie. I'm going to rest.""Ossu!" With that, Autumn ran to find her teammates. She found them eating ramen with Rock Lee and Naruto. Just then, she couldn't resist. (Get ready ya'll I'm going FANGIRL)"LEEEEE-SAAAAANNNN!!!" she glomped the boy like a teddy bear, because he didn't mind.

"Aki-Chan! How are you?"

"Just great! I came to pick up Lizzie and Fabienne!"

"Autumn! What's up?" Lizzie greeted the short girl. Fabienne had her mouth full of ramen, so she waved. "Nothing's up except my sword training! I lasted 10 seconds this time." Autumn said sarcastically."Well that's some strength you've got there!" Fabienne said jokingly.BUUURRRPP "NARUTOOO!" all of them whined."Sorry! But I can't keep it down! Otherwise it-"

"TOO MUCH INFORMATION!" the girls yelled angrily over him.Lee sat there awestruck at their outburst, but then continued eating.

"Lee?"

"Yes Aki-Chan?" the boy made full eye contact."I-I-!" The 2 were leaning towards each other, but then..."AAHHH!" She fell forward in her seat. Luckily, Lee caught her."S-sorry Lee-san."

"You were saying?"

"I-I...I Lo-"

"Come on Autumn!" Lizzie jerked the girl outside and ran. "Don't worry Lee! She'll get back to you!" Fabienne said apologetically, then ran after them.

"Hmm. I wonder what she wanted to say to me." He thought and thought. But couldn't guess it.
