Youthful Love!
It was a nice day in Konoha. The grass was green and the sky was blue without a cloud in sight. You would think that nothing could possibly ruin it.
You were wrong.
"Come on Tenten! Bring out all of your youthfulness!" shouted Lee.
"Lee! Its just a practice match don't get so serious! I'm not as skilled in taijutsu as you! Bring it down a notch would ya?" Tenten shouted back.
"Tenten! You are not acting youthful! Do you want to grow old early?" shouted Gai.
"But we have a mission tomorrow and I don't want to be all sore before it!" shouted Tenten angrily.
"Hmmm… You do have a point." Said Gai.
"Yes I do. Now can we stop I have to get ready." Tenten asked/demanded.
"OK! The training is done for today! Now go out and be your youthful selves!" shouted Gai a bit too loud and enthusiastic.
"Awww… But Gai-sensei do we have to stop?" complained Lee.
"Yes! It is also training to act youthful! You must never let your self not be youthful!" said Gai.
"I understand Gai-sensei! I will go out and act as youthful as possible!" said Lee with fire in his eyes.
"That's the spirit Lee!" said Gai also wit fire in his eyes.
Ugh. Finally we are done for now. Now I can properly prepare for our tough mission ahead. Thought Tenten.
~~Flashback~~
"Tenten! Lee! You two will have to complete an important mission with just the two of you." Said Tsunade.
"Why just us two? Why can't we have Neji and Gai sensei in it too?" asked Tenten.
Tsunade just smirked. "Believe me you won't want those two with you on this mission."
"Why?" asked Tenten again.
"Ya why?" Lee also asked.
"Sorry but I won't be able to tell you without the fear of you quitting." replied Tsunade.
The two just stared at her skeptical at her explanation.
"Now you two will have to go to Suna since they are our most trusted allies. Once there speak with Gaara since he is Kazekage and he will give you two your instructions. Stay there until you are completely certain the mission is successful." ordered Tsunade.
"Don't worry we are sure you two are able to complete this mission. Also you may take as much time as needed since there isn't a certain time limit," said Shizune.
"Sure I guess we could do the mission," said Tenten a bit uncertain.
"Yes we will complete it with all of our youthfulness!" said Lee excitedly as the two turned around to leave.
Tsunade tried to stifle a laugh right after Lee said this and this didn't go unnoticed by the two.
"What's so funny Tsunade-sama?" asked Tenten with an eyebrow raised.
"N-Nothing you may leave." said Tsunade still trying to not laugh.
"Sure…"
End of Flashback
"Hmmm… I wonder what was so funny that made Tsunade-sama laugh like that?" Tenten asked herself out loud while heading home from the grocery store.
"Tenten!"
Tenten turned around to see Lee running toward her.
"What is it Lee?"
"I just wanted to ask you if you were free this evening."
"Ya I am. Why are you asking me on a date?"
Lee slightly blushed at this.
"No No! I just wanted to talk about what you think the mission might be about and have some fun while doing it.," said Lee quickly.
"Ah. Sure we can leave after I drop the groceries at my house."
"Sure."
The two left for Tenten's house. Soon afterward they arrived and Tenten unlocked the door and went inside. The inside of her house was nice.
"OK Lee you can wait over on the couch while I put away the groceries and wash my face." said Tenten.
"No I can put away the stuff if you want." said Lee.
"Thanks Lee!" said Tenten.
Tenten left the room to go wash up while Lee put away her groceries. Not too long the front door to Tenten's house opened and in walked a lady who must've been Tenten's mother.
"Hello miss!" said Lee.
"Ah! We have a burglar in our house!" screamed the woman who in turn grabbed the nearest object (which happen to be a large vase) and chucked it at Lee.
"Wait miss I am not a burglar! I am Tenten's friend!" said Lee hastily catching the vase before her house was destroyed.
"Oh." said the woman who threw the large vase. "Sorry about that. I jump to conclusions quickly I guess."
"It's nothing." said Lee with a friendly smile.
"Oh by the way my name is Linda, Tenten's mother." said Linda.
"Hello. My name is Lee."
Soon after Tenten came rushing in yelling "What happened? Are you alright mom?"
"Yes dear. Just a misunderstanding between me and your boyfriend." said Linda.
Lee and Tenten blushed when she said this.
"He isn't my boyfriend! He is just a friend!" shouted Tenten a bit pink.
"Ya I am just her friend Linda-san." said Lee.
Linda looked a bit disappointed at this.
"You sure honey? He looks like he would make a good husband." said Linda.
"Yes I'm sure!" said Tenten who was turning really red on her face.
"But your blushing aren't you? Doesn't that mean something?" she asked innocently.
"No it doesn't!" and with that she stormed back into her room to brush some of her hair and walked quickly to her door.
"Lee if you don't hurry I will leave without you!"
"Coming!" but before he could leave Linda grabbed his arm and quickly said, "Oh and while on your mission treat her well." And with that she winked at Lee like she knew something he didn't and pushed him to the door.
"Have fun you two!" called Linda to the two Konoha ninja.
Linda walked into her house and sat on the couch while thinking.
Someone knocked on the window behind the couch. Linda turned and saw Tsunade crouching behind it. Linda opened up the window to let the Hokage in.
"Hello Linda-san!"
"Hello Tsunade-sama!"
"So what do you think of him?" asked Tsunade.
"I think he is perfect! He is kind and would treat her well. He has my vote." replied Linda.
"Good. That's what I thought as well. I do hope that the Suna rumors were true though."
"Me too. Though I do hope Tenten will agree to do it."
"Don't worry about it I am sure she will do it especially if it was ordered by me and the Kazekage."
The two sat in silence for a while.
"So do you want to go drinking Linda-san?" asked Tsunade.
"Sure that sounds like fun!"
