chapter eight: here it goes


The front door to the small house team Gai was staying in flew open and hit the wall with a hollow bang. The silhouette standing beneath the door frame was of non other than the green beast of Konoha, and defender of the squirrels non the less.

Neji and Tenten snapped their attention to the heavy breathing and slightly sweaty shinobi that leaned in the door way.

Lee inhaled deeply, taking in the scent of absolutely nothing in particular...maybe the crisp desert air? Riiight. "What a refreshing morning jog." He sang while Neji and Tenten sweat dropped at him.

Lee realized what his teammates were doing (a/n: they're eating...remember?) and quickly got a bowl and spoon from the kitchen and sat at the table. He cheerfully poured himself some Lucky Charms and mixed the milk in it a second later.

"By they way, I bumped into Gaara-san and he said he would like to speak with me before we leave. I wonder what he wants to speak with me about?" Lee put a finger on his chin "Perhaps he saw my hard training and decided that I should have an honorary medal! Or maybe he wishes to get my autograph! The word about my skills in Taijutsu must have spread all the way over here."

Lee was rambling and Neji nor Tenten were listening. Neji had his eyes closed and Tenten just nodded and smiled, not understanding a thing that was coming out of her thick-browed teammate's mouth.

"-If he really did want me to train with him and show him my youthful ways, its not going to be an easy task! But I, Rock Lee, would swear to be the best sensei I can possibly be! Gai-sensei would surly be proud!" Lee's eyes were crying waterfalls and his right fist was clenched and raised..

"Purrrrrrrrrrrrr" Lee looked down to his bowl of cereal and screamed like a little girl.

"Wha...? HEY! Bad kitty, no! Those are me Lucky Charms!" He cried grabbing the cat that was licking up the milk from his bowl. It just smiled playfully back at him.

"How did he get in here?!" Lee turned towards his teammates. They just shrugged in response. He punted the cat out of the dining room.

Lee grunted as he emptied his 'contaminated' cereal into the sink. He went through the process of pouring himself some more, but when he got to the milk he was in for a surprise.

As he angled the jug of milk to pour out the liquid onto his cereal, much to his dismay, only 3 small drops came out of the now empty jug.

"WHAAAT?!" Lee screamed holding his head.

"Got milk?" Tenten giggled

In utter defeat, Lee scooted his bowl towards the middle of the table and put his head down in shame. He muttered something incoherent as he covered his head with his arms.

"Well, now would be a good time to start heading home." Neji said as he stood from the table.


"Yea, I want to speak with Tsunade about this mission." Tenten said using air quotes on the word 'mission'.

"Hurry up Lee! Geez!" Tenten put her hands on her hips as she waited for her 'punctual' teammate. He ran up to his teammates and muttered an apology as they exited the village of Sand.

The three of them, Neji, Tenten, and now Lee, were now on their way back to Konoha. So far, the trip back was fast paced and dead silent. The only noises that were being made was the sound of their sandals jumping from tree to tree. It was now mid-day and the three had no intentions on taking a break or lessening their pace. They were determined on getting back to Konoha by the end of the day.

Normally, Tenten wouldn't be so curious, but there was a question that was eating away at her concentration.

"Hey Lee?" Tenten broke the 4 hour silence.

"Yes Tenten?" Lee looked back at his teammate.

"What did Gaara-san speak with you about?"

"Oh. Well. You see..." Lee began

FLASHBACK

"You wanted to see me, Kazekage-sama?" Lee asked as he peeked his head in the doorway.

"Lee what do you know about this mission that you and your team was on?" Gaara asked suddenly

"Oh well, I know it was a mistake." Lee rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"Obviously." Gaara leaned back in his chair "I think there is something that you should know about this whole thing."

"Oh?" Lee was interested now.

"This wasn't planned to happen this way, but it works none the less." There was a brief pause which made Lee grow anxious with anticipation. "Your home village, Konoha, is trying to get Neji and Tenten to wed by the third of July."

Lee couldn't help it, he broke down in fits of laughter. "Are you joking? Those two?" He wiped the corners of his eyes to rid them of tears.

"I don't see whats so funny about this matter. Marriage is very serious and needs to be planned with precision. And your Hokage has asked me for your help." This caught Lee's attention. "At the moment, your village is preparing the town for the annual summer solstice festival that is to be held tomorrow. I need you to stall the two so they get to the village late tonight. Got that?"

"Yes sir!" Lee saluted the Kazekage.

END FLASHBACK

"Hehehe well, you see..." Lee was in search for words. "He wants me to come back in a few days to uh...teach a taijutsu class for the taijutsu-ly challenged!"

Neji and Tenten just stared at Lee with blank faces.

"Huh...alright." They turned around and started walking again.

Lee wiped the sweat from his brow for the second time that day. 'That was easier than I thought.'
