I am so sorry that putting up this sequel took so long. You see there's the typing, and then the sending to my friend Madi for editing, then the problems with my Word Perfect, then there's figuring out where the writing tools are on our other computer, then there's the fixing up the italics which my iPod doesn't have and the fact that I went to my Uncle Carl's camp over Canada Day weekend and... Ya, I should've posted this sooner. :D -Ash

Unnecessary Bodily Functions
Sometimes it's mandatory, but this was taking it too far.
Team Gai had situated themselves around a campfire. Their sensei had yet to return from his mission with ANBU, so his subordinates were forced to reduce their squad to three and carry on without him.
Recently, Lee and Tenten had decided that over-exhausting the rather loud and unnecessary bodily function that occurs when too much gas has accumulated in the stomach was extremely amusing.
Having Gai present would have only made Neji's situation worse.
BURP!
"Okay, now what'll you rank that? You've gotta give me at least a six!" Tenten begged, waiting for her teammate to finish grading her.
"You have EARNED a SIX, most YOUTHFUL FLOWER TENTEN, but do not THINK that this is the END! I will DEFEAT YOU in this CHALLENGE of YOUTH! YOSH!"
Neji shuddered. They had been at it for at least twenty minutes, steadily increasing the size of their belches.
BUURP!
"Was THAT more YOUTHFUL! Have I SUCCEEDED?" Lee asked in his own loud manner.
She rolled her eyes and smiled at her friend. "I'll give it a seven..." She said in mock defeat. "But no more. You had the volume, but your duration could have been better." She finished helpfully.
"YOSH!"
BUUURP!
"You ALSO receive a SEVEN! You were NOT LOUD ENOUGH!"
"WHAT! Not even a seven point five!"
Neji couldn't take it anymore. This contest went against everything he had been taught by the Hyuga elders. They'd be on their knees in shame if they saw this. He had to stop it.
"Tenten, Lee." he said, deathly calm.
They turned to face him.
"How can you disgrace yourselveslike this! Tenten, have you learned nothing of etiquette?" he said, trying to bring out their buried sanity.
Tenten gave him a look that was reserved for use by all-knowing teachers. "Neji, are you jealous of our all powerful belching abilities?" She turned to Lee. " It seems as though we have finally bested the Hyuga prodigy." she said, trying to egg Neji on.
He fell for it.
"I am a member of the Hyuga clan. I will not be defeated in something as trivial as a... burping contest." he said, and proceeded to clear his throat.
BUUUUUUURP!
And with that, he turned around and marched away, head held high.
"Twelve." Tenten muttered in shock, before chasing after him to learn his secrets.
Neji was a prodigy. Of course he could burp.
I thank all of you who reviewed (and I am honored that the queen of the cheese worshippers took the time to review ;D). This was a 'second chapter' but it bothered me having the two together, so I moved them... I really hope this wasn't a dissapointment. I already have something ruffly written out. It's a fic about Neji and Hinata. IT IS NOT ROMANCE 'cause that's just gross. I mean, they grew up as siblings and have fathers with the same DNA. If that's not incest, I don't know what is. Watch for it... or if you're reading this after I have posted it... then look for it.
I really do appreciate reviews, so if you wouldn't mind... Btw, that goes for EVERYONE! Not just people with acounts, or peoplewho can come up with creativereviews. I don't care if you write 'That was funny.' or 'Thanks for writing that.' SMALL REVIEWS ARE FINE!
