Chapter 8
I flopped to the ground. Neji. He is the only guy that ever distracted me from my goal of becoming the best kunochi in the leaf village. I felt a smile grace my lips at the thought of being truly recognized. I closed my eyes to daydream when I suddenly felt warm breath on my face. It smelt like curry. I slowly opened my eyes enjoying the last remnants of my daydream.
"Lee..."
"Yes my youthful flower?"
He was so close to my face that I could only see his eyes. I watched them crinkle around the edges at my greeting.
"Lee, what are you doing here?"
"Just came to say hello to my favorite kunochi! "
"Ok let me ask a different question how did you find me ?"
"I saw the cactus walking well he was actually kind of hopping. I asked him what happened but he just kept skipping. I had never seen him so giddy yosh! So I followed his path here. My lotus what have you done to the cactus?"
Lee smiled again still staring into my eyes. As I laid on the ground the image of Neji skipping made me giggle.
"Well Neji came here and asked me on a date!"
I watched Lee's round eyes widen further.
"I accepted and then he pulled me into his arms. And whispered that he missed me."
In a blur of green Lee was jumping up and down his black locks bouncing along his tan face. I righted myself and flipped toward my green beast.
"My lotus oh youthful love is just about the most beautiful thing in all of konoha. Oh yosh I am crying! I am not worthy to witness such beautiful blossoming. The cactus will finally bloom a rare cactus flower."
Lee extended his hand even though it was soaked with man tears and uh man snot I still grabbed it. He flashed me a stunning smile. Just as I was about to be pulled into a warm hug I noticed a small bird perched in a nearby tree and wondered why the bird seemed out of place. I soon realized the bird was made of clay. I heard a familiar voice scream and everything went black.
