Why Rock Lee Acts Like Gai
By Angel of Anime
It all started on a fair-weathered day in Konoha. Indeed, it was a day that seemed very clear of clouds, but sometimes what it seems to be is what it is not.
Lee had decided to take a walk; exercising is a very important part in keeping you healthy and strong. This was back when the boy didn't use only contractions, his hair wasn't in a bowl-cut hairstyle, and his bushy eyebrows were not so bushy. Actually, he was very handsome looking, and Sakura wouldn't have minded going out with him one bit, although she'd still have preferred Sasuke. Many of the girls formed simple crushes on him. Lee was just nine years old, but he was quite the heart-breaker, even though he was so kind.
Anyway, when the boy was in the woods, it began to rain. At first it was a dainty sprinkling, nothing to worry about. But then, as Lee went deeper into the tree-filled area, the light fall of the rain became drenching. The thunder began to roar, and lightning flashed everywhere. This weather was definitely odd, but not unexplainable.
While resting on a tree branch, Lee looked up at the sky, soaked. The rain fell so hard and fast, it managed to get him, even with the shelter of the trees.
Boom!
Swipe!
Crash!
It happened so fast, Lee couldn't comprehend what had happened in the last ten seconds. Then, he faded into blackness.
About an hour later, he woke up in the hospital, his mind racing with so many thoughts and questions. His main one being, what in the world… ?
"Hello? Is anyone here?" he asked.
"Hello there, Lee!" a booming voice said enthusiastically.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Maito Gai, a jounin teacher," he replied.
"I see. Could I ask what happened? It is all a bit hazy to me," Lee requested.
"Well, I can't be sure exactly what happened. I was returning from a mission, and on my way back, I saw you were about to be hit by a very thick branch," Gai answered.
"Oh, so you saved me," said Lee, getting out of the hospital bed. "Thank you very much, Maito Gai!" he shouted as he bowed.
"You're very welcome, Lee!" shouted Gai as he bowed as well.
"No, you do not bow! I am the one obliged to you, and I owe you very much gratitude for what you have done. Thank you!" Lee told him.
"Yes, Lee!" he said, continuing to bow to him anyway.
"Yes, Maito Gai! I now will look at you as a role model! Thank you again!"
So, Lee modeled himself to look as much like Gai as he could. That's where he got the looks from, anyway. However, Gai does not use contractions. Lee got bonked on his head slightly before Gai could get him out of the way. The part that was hit had something to do with that, and now the poor boy can't say one sentence without not using a contraction. And now, he's also less attractive than he was before.
a/n: I think the ending paragraph wasn't so good; I was going for humor, but I don't think I quite made it. Well, please review. Flames are welcome, but I won't say I'll like them as much as I would a good review. Although, I don't really even expect a review worth framing for this story. I don't like it myself, but I'm trying to write humor stories. This is like practice, in a way. Anyway, thanks for reading!
