Lee had finally collected himself and got redressed and joined his comrades back at the table. By now most people had left so only the main characters however Asuma and Kurenai had left together. "Where have you been dog brows?" asked Naruto as Lee sat down. "Naruto, I was off becoming a man." Lee said giving him the nice guy pose. Neji just sighed "Lee you become more and more like Gai everyday" "Neji that must be a good thing. As now that I am a man, I am even more like him!" "Lee why do you keep say that, what do you mean? Just what the hell have you been doing?"
Shino and Kiba had returned. Making the table Naruto, Lee, Neji, Shino, Kiba, Shika and Choji. "Naruto I think it is WHO has he been doing" Lee jumped forward but Neji rapped him arms up his chest and onto his neck to completely hold him back. "And just how do you know that you pervert." Kakashi, Asuma, Gai and Iruka had all showed up to calm the handsome green beast of Konoha down. "I didn't peep Lee, Kiba smelled Sakura on you I just did the math." "Wait? So Lee?? and Sakura!" All the men laughed, cheered and some patted Lee on the back while his prized Sensei was the proudest of all. "Welcome to man hood my young pupil." Kakashi however was not as pleased. Kakashi put his hand on Lee's shoulder sternly and looked down at him, lifting up his head band revealing his magic eye as a sign of intimidation.
"And what exactly did you do to that innocent girl Lee?" Lee gulped "Beside abusing your friendship, taking advantage of her in her state, let alone being drunk." stated Neji leaning back. He loved watching his friend squirm, as Kakashi's grip grew tighter. 'Thanks alot Neji" "Well?" "Well sir, I helped her get over Sasuke, helped her through a hard time and helped her blossom into womanhood...um with protection?" listed Lee hoping one was the right answer. Kakashi sighed and lowered his head band over his left eye. "Good enough Lee" said Kakashi as all the men took a seat.
-Meanwhile-
Then came the tapping of shoes walking as Shizune and Anko came looking for the missing girls and decided to join their little story sharing.
Anko told them, when she was a little girl, training under Orochimaru while Kakashi trained under the fourth. That she saw what his face looked like. All the girls leaned forward in anticipation "...and that he was very handsome." So they all fell down anime style in frustration, while Anko just giggled to herself. " I think he only improved over time..." as she rested her chin in her palm and seemed to just drift away. "IMPROVE? NO ONE EVER SEE'S HIS FACE!" inner Sakura screamed.
"Perhaps it is the mystery that draws you in" stated Shizune "Then again, look at Shino. He is an enigma and Hinata could tell you that he is much more than just a bug freak. or your sensei Iruka is as strong as he is smart" finishing her sentence she became slightly flushed
Lee rested back knowing he had just dodged a bullet, but planning something to get back at Neji no doubt. "So does anyone have any stories of man hood to tell?" "Did I tell you guys about the time Iruka took a giant ninja star in the back for me!" shouted Naruto proudly as Iruka rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Uhh how troublesome, Naruto he ment about girls, jackass" "Yeah like about that girl you keep scarring away" Kiba laughed as Akamaru barked in agreement.
"So then Anko, how far have you and Kakashi-sensei gone?" giggled Sakura "Well we're both getting old in the years, knowing each other for so long.. how far do you think! Just cause you held out for Sasuke then settled for Rock Lee doesn't mean others are so patient" "Or as desperate as you" said Sakura with a tongue sticking out as she received a harsh bonk on the head. "Wh-what about you Shizune?" asked Hinata. "Well Hinata if you must know, it was Iruka" "IRUKA?" "Hey he was quite the charmer and quite gentle" Soon enough as she remembered the night, she turned as red as Kurenias eyes which was sure saying something.
"What about you Hinata?" asked Anko, who was more oblivious as she spent the least amount of time with any of them. "Oh Anko, you know how strict Hashi can be. She's been raised to save her self for marr-" "Naruto..."
-Gasp!, meanwhile-
"Dammit Ero-Sannin we don't wanna hear any of your stories!" shouted Naruto as Jiriya moped away from the group. "Alright then Kiba, if you have jokes to make, lets here some of your stories" "Fine, the waitress at the ramen bar!" "Yeah, yeah, her and I talk all the time. She told me she threw you a pity fuck" The entire table laughed as Kiba suddenly decided Akamaru needed a walk.
-Back to what we care about more-
"...you?...you had sex with-" "No!, no I m- I ment th-that I am not saving myself for marriage. I-I am saving myself for Naruto. And if we do get married, well that is ok-kay too. Be-besides today is going to be the day I t-tell him" Anko pulled a flask that was strapped to her leg, hidden up her long dress. "Well hears a confidence booster, just ask Sakura." Sakura blushed at the thought that she did feel pretty intoxicated with Lee even if it was only a short while ago. "Or Shizune over there. It was Tsunade's sake that gave her enough courage to even talk to Iruka" "Shizune?! Were you drunk when you were with Iruka?" She had toned them out and was still thinking about the night with Iruka, the date, the food, and everything that came after that.
Eventually the girls all got up and found that there were only a few people left. "I guess the reception is over. and we don't leave for our honeymoon till tomorrow. uh, how troublesome" "And they're out of food!" Somehow Choji didn't look anorexic anymore but still not fat. Ino threw her arms around him in a hug. "Theres the Choji I know and love" "Love?" Ino quickly let go and turned around as both she and Choji blushed.
"Ne-Neji because the Hyuuga manor is so big and most of the relatives are out for the night, p-perhaps we could bring the gang to the mansion" "Well Hinata as long as nothing gets broken and certain rooms are locked. Well then I do not see why not-" "Party at Hinata's house!" "Alright but lets wait a while so we can all change" said Temari. "So c'mon Shikamaru. We can go back to your apartment to change" "Why would your clothes be at my house." "Our house actually. I'm living here now. Gaara pulled some strings so I can represent Suna for any council. Its a wedding present from me to you. And don't bother saying no, cause Kankuro and his puppets have been moving my stuff since our first dance" "How troublesome" Again Temari grew white eyes and fangs "What did you say!" "I mean, hooray." (I the author just realized I have turned Temari into Shikamaru's mom.) Sakura walked past Lee backward and slid her fingers across his cheek and chin then blowing a kiss on her open palm. "See you there Lee" she said trying to sound sexy. Lee turned very red and froze in place
Kakashi saw this however and smirked. "Well I was wrong. It was her who took advantage of him" "Thanks for moving this to your place Hinata your the best" exclaimed Naruto running out. Hinata blushed then pulled Anko's flask out and took a drink. "We might be a little late. Ino and I are going out for food." said Choji with Ino on his arm "He means we're going out on a date". "Yeah well knowing Temari, i'll be late too. she's probably gunna want to start the honeymoon early. and i wanna do is sleep. what a total drag"
Being the adults all the senseis went on a beer run, lead by Tsunade no doubt. So the Tenten and Neji were the last to leave. They headed straight for the Hyuuga manor and made sure everything was OK for visitors, not knowing what was going to happen. They actually just wanted some alone time but Hinata was already there practicing talking to Naruto and drinking after each one.
There was a knock on the door as the sensei's brought in refreshments. Soon most of the rookies, Lee, Gaara, Kankuro and MR. & Mrs. Nara came. Now this was not some kind of Keiger. Almost everyone stayed in the lounge drinking and telling more stories of death, adventure and romance. Naruto decided to do a little bit of exploring. He eventually found Hinata in her room. "Oh sorry Hinata I was just looking around" "No it is OK Naruto. I wanted to s-see you anyway, theres, theres is something we need to t-talk about"
-meanwhile-
Lee had taken Sakura by the hand and took her into and empty room and closed the door. "OK Sakura this is going to be very hard to tell you" Sakura however wasn't listening. "Lee, you naughty boy" Lee turned around to see a queen side bed, this room must had been a Hyuugas bedroom. Sakura crawled onto the bed "I think this is a much nicer place than before" As she turned to him with the same look as before. Lee blushed deeply as he started to sweat. "No, no Sakura it is not that" Sakura sat up and looked at him "Then what is it?" "I am sorry Sakura I have lied to you"
