"Lee! Not you too! Oh, please let this be a joke!" Naruto shouted at the new cat in front of him. Konohamaru just started impassively in Rock Lee's general direction.

Lee leapt as gracefully as an actual cat and landed on the side of Naruto opposite Konohamaru. He also mewed quite convincingly, "Erm moowww!" Rock Lee grinned.

Lucky for Lee, Naruto's screaming and flipping out abilities were much less than normal, due to his embarrassment. Naruto only managed a slightly bothersome volume as he screamed and only barely flipped out.

"No! Come on, Lee! Aren't you in love with Sakura. What are you doing? Isn't it bad enough enough that Konohamaru and I are in love without you getting involved!?"

At this point, Naruto was surprised even further as hysterical laughter echoed through the forest and someone stumbled out from behind some bushes.

"Ino. were you a part of this? Did you put Lee up to this, and it really was a joke?" Naruto really hoped that was what was going on.

"What? No," Ino breathed, after she managed to stop laughing and catch her breath. "No, I was just following you guys. I mean, how could I resist spying on the first date of such a cute couple?"

Naruto and Konohamaru looked at each other for a moment. They blushed.

"No. I had nothing to do with that freak show!"

Naruto looked at Lee again. He crouched on the ground in that catlike stance that gave Naruto a headache just to see again. Lee also had two realistic looking cat ears that might have been fake ones he was wearing. Or Lee could have performed a transformation jutsu to have them. ... Oh, no, they were fake; Lee could only use taijutsu.

Other than that, he was the same Lee. With the same green spandex, the same odd haircut, the same eyebrows. ...

"Well, he obviously doesn't love Sakura. Or ..." Konohamaru started talking as he angrily watched the green cat. "I don't know, maybe he loves you both. You know, he could have even been lying about loving Sakura to get closer to you. Yeah."

"Ugh! Well that just sounds great. Get off, bushy brows!" Naruto shoved Lee off him after Lee grabbed him. Lee then took the familiar course of action by pouncing at Naruto, making them both fall with Lee on top of the apparently popular blonde boy. Naruto shoved Lee off again.

He got to his feet and said, "Lee, I don't--"

Naruto was interrupted by Lee pulling his orange pants down and grinding his green spandex into Naruto's boxers.

Ino was shocked. "Wow. I thought Hinata moved fast, but no one's faster than Rock Lee."

Very angry that this freakish cat was playing with the boy he loved, Konohamaru walked up and slapped Lee. Interestingly enough, the slap landed on his green butt, and when Lee gave Konohamaru a look, Naruto screamed something that couldn't be heard over Ino's laughter.

Everything suddenly stopped moving, as Lee stared hard at Konohamaru. ... Then, Naruto pulled up his pants, and the green cat lunged for the retired kitten. Lee was tackled by Naruto though. And when he got free, he disappeared. Finally.

Konohamaru stood from where he had fallen in fear of being jumped. He slowly walked, his eyes darting around suspiciously, to Naruto. He grabbed his date's hand and resolved that he wouldn't let go.

"Wow!Ino continued laughing, still in disbelief over what had just happened. But she stopped laughing suddenly and her face changed. "Oh, that is so not cool. If Lee's into you now, that means he won't be trying to get billboard brow, and there won't be anyone to distract her from Saaaasuke!"

Ino continued moaning over the setback in her plan for Sasuke domination. She was unaware of the odd looks the two boys were giving her. She seemed to have forgotten admitting she had been spying on their date. ....

But she hadn't been the only one. ...
