Here's the next chapter! Please review, guys. I'm practically begging you.
Lee jumped up immediately, hooting and jumping around.
"I got picked! I got picked! I got picked!" He sung happily. Neji groaned, before yanking him back down to his seat.
"Ino! Dare him already!" He snapped while trying to restrain the hyper boy, clad in green.
"Yes, yes do just that Ino! The power of youth demands it of you!" He was now shaking so hard; TenTen had to help Neji to keep him still.
"Get on with it!" Neji grunted, obviously worn out from holding the jittery teen.
"Okay, okay. Lee, I dare you to…" She paused for dramatic effect.
"TELL ME!" Lee roared, pouncing up with all his force. Both Neji and TenTen got flung backwards, ending up sprawled on the floor.
"I dare you to burn all of your stupid green suits. Plus, you have to burn the one you're wearing. With no back up clothes. You have to stay exactly like that for the rest of the game." She finished proudly. Everyone turned to assess Lee's reaction. It was just as dramatic as they all expected.
His already too-wide eyes were magnified even larger. Freakishly large. Pools of wet, soggy tears pooled up around his eyes.
"B-b-b-but the power of youth…" He stammered, before a new light struck his eyes. Literally. He jumped up, pumping his fist.
"But I must do that, mustn't I! I have to go through with every mission given to me, no matter how small or how difficult. I shall go through with it! I WILL!" He stood in that pose for quite some time, before Naruto cleared his throat, getting his attention.
"I will go through with it!" He said for a final time, before scurrying off. Everyone exchanged confused glances as they tried to process what had just occurred.
"So…how's it going?" Kiba asked sheepishly, trying to break the silence.
"Well, actually." TenTen replied.
"That's nice..."
"Quite."
"Indeed."
"Yes, yes."
"The weather is nice as well."
"It is, isn't it?"
"I do hope it lasts…"
"I as well, Kiba, I as well." Neither of the two noticed the skeptical, judgmental stares that were being sent at them as they continued on their merry way, commenting on the day's aspects.
Just as suddenly as he had left, Lee soon appeared, holding every one of his ghastly suits in his arms. Sakura groaned.
"Lee?" She sighed. "Just how many suits are in that pile, exactly?"
"Um. I'm going to guess about 64. Give or take a few." Beside him Neji's pale eye twitched comically. Lee dropped his stash of outfits of the floor, snatching the matched from Neji.
"Let me do the honors, Neji-san. This is something…this is something I must do myself." His hand quivered as he lit the match.
Everyone around him held his or her breath as Lee slowly dropped the match onto the pile. It erupted in flames.
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die: A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted. A time to break down and a time to build up: A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn and a time to dance .For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." Lee murmured in a solemn voice.
"Um…Lee. Isn't that a funeral prayer?" Ino quipped quietly.
"Yes. It's rather fitting, don't you think?" Lee stated in a shaky voice. That's when they noticed the tears in his eyes.
"It is rather fitting, isn't it?" They all remained silent, mourning the loss of the green tights.
"Wait, Lee! You're forgetting one last outfit!" Sasuke muttered, motioning to Lee. He gasped.
"But this is my last one!" Lee cried.
"DO THE DARE!" Neji roared, angered by the length of the whole ordeal. Lee whimpered, before peeling off his outfit.
The room gasped.
"L-lee." Sakura stuttered. "YOU HAVE THE AWESOMEST 6-PACK EVER!"
And so Lee liked the dare just a little bit better.
