A few hours has passed since Might Guy bounded his students's wrist together with an unbreakable seal rope, Rock Lee was paired with Darka Neko and Neji Hyuga was attached to NaMay Okami. All in an a bizarre attempt to have his new members learn to work better with his older members, so in other words Guy Sensei assigned them a teamwork exercise as their first real training session out in the middle of Flower Field near a Lake.
" Damn this is so boring... What the hell does Guy Sensei want us to do out here?"complained Neko as she skipped a pebble with her free hand and watched it skid across the lake's surface.
" Guy Sensei in his infinite wisdom has given us a survival exercise in order to fan our Youthful Flames of Teamwork." said Rock Lee as he tried to match Neko's pebble with his own in order to outdo her.
" So Guy Sensei actually expects us to just wait around out here for the next few days tied to one another, It is very clever however it seems to be a failure... Not one of us has become closer to the ones we are intended to improve our relationship with and It's been almost five hours now." responded NaMay who was sitting on a giant boulder next to Neji who was standing up leaning as far away from her as was possible and since they were bounded together he made her lean with him.
" I for one have no intentions of building any kind of relationships with ether one of you people." stated Neji leaning even farther away from NaMay causing her to lose her balance on the boulder and she ended up headbutting into his legs almost taking him down with her, That's when Neji decided to stop pulling away.
" Fuck it let's go back to the Village, I'm hungry and I am not eating anything out here." said Neko.
" No can do Neko, Guy Sensei's Orders were for us to stay here until his return in a couple of days and I refuse to disobey the orders of my Sensei." that came from Rock Lee.
" Guy Sensei, Didn't really give as any orders Lee, All he said was he would see us in a couple days... Nothing about where or what we should do other then be tied together for those few days... So I am in agreement with Neko, We should go back to the Village." Okami said as she stood up off the boulder.
" You are going Caterpillar Brows rather you want to or not... In case you forget I am tied to you and I don't a damn what you want, You will do what I want while we are stuck in these stupid ass rope cuffs." Neko flat out told Lee how it was going to go.
Before Lee could respond Neko done begin dragging him down the path towards the Hidden Leaf. NaMay looked at Neji about to ask him what he wanted to do, when he started walking kind of dragging NaMay until she was able to match his quick steps and they all set out to Konoha.
It didn't take them that long to return to the Village even with Rock Lee putting up a fight as Neko dragged him along against his will. They headed towards the local BBQ. Restaurant, where upon their arrival they spotted a banner that read: This Year's Rookies Eat Free Today, Congratulation on Your Advancements!
" See, I told you it was a good idea to come back here today, We get free Eats." boosted Neko as she shoved Rock Lee towards the open door. Lee suddenly spread out his arms and legs in the door frame shielding himself from entering for he was still refusing to go along with coming to the Village. " I will NOT go in there and disrespect Guy Sensei's order."
In responds to Rock Lee's pathetic attempt at defying her, Darka Neko simply pulled her foot back and kicked Lee right in his Skinny Ass prevailing him forward but what Neko forgot about was the fact that she was still tied to him and ended up dragging herself along with him as he want down face first in the crowded restaurant. Neko though due to her cat abilities was able to twist her body so that she didn't impact the floor and instead ended up sitting on Rock Lee's back with her elbow on Lee's head and her free hand on her chin looking at the crowd as if nothing out the ordinarily just happened.
Neji and NaMay walked in right when Might Guy stood up out of his booth where he was sitting next to Kakashi Hatake and across from the other two instructors Asuma Sarutobi & Kurenai Yuhi. " ABOUT TIME MY YOUTHFUL GROUP SHOWED UP... WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG LEE?"
Rock Lee tilted his head up looking at his Sensei with confusion all over his face: " WHAT TOOK ME SO LONG... HUH, GUY SENSEI I AM CONFUSED... WERE WE NOT SUPPOSED TO STAY NEXT TO THE LAKE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS UNTIL YOUR GREATNESS RETURNED TO US?"
" NO LEE, THAT WAS A TEST TO SEE WHO WOULD HAVE ENOUGH SENSE TO READ BETWEEN MY INCREDIBLE WORDS... IT SEEMS YOU ALL HAVE PASSED, NOW COME JOIN IN THE FREE MEALS OF YOUTH!"
" That was a fucking test... Man, That was Lame Guy Sensei... A Very Lame way to test us." complained Neko as she stood up off of Lee helping him up as well.
" If this pathetic excuse of a test is over with then Guy Sensei, Get this off of me Now! I can not stand another minute attached to someone like NaMay Okami." Neji held up their arms showing him what he meant. Might Guy shook his head No after hearing that and said back to Neji: " I'm sorry Neji but I am afraid I can not release you for you have clearly failed in the teamwork challenge... From the looks of things you all failed but no matter, for now all of you come have something to eat for your Youthful bellies must be hungry by now." The look Neji gave Guy just now was enough to make him sit back down trying to avoid his stare.
Neko rolled her eyes at Guy Sensei as she walked over to the booth where Kiba Inuzuka was sitting alone expect for his dog Akamaru but across from him was his two teammates Shino Aburame and Hinata Hyuga. Without saying anything Neko slides in beside Kiba as Rock Lee takes the end seat. Kiba's little white doggy Akamaru started growling as soon as Neko sat down for he could sense her cats, Neko just ignored him.
NaMay lead Neji over to the same table as Lee and Neko and since he was still tied to her he had no choice but to follow which he want along with until he caught sight of who Okami was planning to sit next too, his hated cousin Hinata Hyuga.
" Oh this can't turn out well for poor Hinata." said Kurenai Yuhi as she watched NaMay and Neji approaching the table where her students sat across the room from her and the other Teachers.
" What can't be good Kurenai? I don't get what you mean." asked a slightly confused Asuma Sarutobi who was seated next to her eating some soup.
" I think she means because NaMay Okami is heading towards the table with Hinata Hyuga and since Guy had the bright idea to tie his students together she has to bring Neji Hyuga along with her." said a disinterested Kakashi Hatake as he sat across from her reading the latest copy of the "Icha-Icha" book series not really caring one way or the other.
" It was indeed a very bright idea my Eternal Rival Kakashi Hatake, Thank You very much for taking notice." Guy smiled at Kakashi and the patented Ping sounded again as Kakashi ignored him much to Guy's dislike. " Anyways, I can see what you mean Kurenai... My Neji and your Hinata have been rivals almost as long as Kakashi and I due to the differences in their clan's ranking systems... Neji fully believes he should be the heir to the Hyuga Clan and not Hinata, which makes him resent the young girl with a passion."
" Yes I know Guy, Maybe we should step in before anything happens." said Kurenai still watching her students.
" Leave it alone for now Kurenai, If you do something you will only end up embarrassing Hinata since Neji has not actually done anything yet... If things gets to out of control I will step in with you and put a stop to it before it gets out of hand." said Asuma while patting her on the hand.
Kurenai agreed and they want back to their meal while watching very closely for any signs of the trouble that they all knew was about to come.
Akamaru stopped his growling at Neko as soon as he seen NaMay sit down at their table and instead he came out from under Kiba's hood and jumped across the table right into her lap yipping at her happily as she petted his head with her unbound hand.
" Hey Kiba, Shino, Hinata... I hope it is okay that we sit here... Knowing Neko I doubt she even asked to join you, Did she?"
Before ether one of them got to say anything Neji jerked NaMay up out of the booth where she was seated next to Hinata causing her to fling Kiba's dog Akamaru into the side of the table making him yelp out in pain. Kiba collected his pal with tears in his eyes which did not go unnoticed by Neko which is what made her start yelling out at Neji.
" YOU ASSHOLE... HOW DARE YOU HURT KIBA'S MUTT... WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM ANYWAYS?"
Neji chose to ignore her and the looks he was getting from every other person in the place both teachers and students instead he turned his attentions to Hinata and NaMay: " It's bad enough I have to sit next to you NaMay Okami but I'll be damned if you are going to force me to sit along side that weak waste of space known as Hinata as well."
NaMay looked at Hinata and she already had tears running down her face as she physically shook in fear of her cousin, it was clear to anyone looking at the shy girl that she was in no way able to stand up for herself at the moment and would let Neji keep degrading her if someone didn't step in and that someone was going to be NaMay Okami.
" Stop talking about Hinata like that Neji... She is a nice and kind person with allot of heart and soul, that does not deserve to be talked down to as you have done... However I don't believe the same can be said about you Neji Hyuga... You are the most vile person I have come across thus far in Konoha. All you care about is yourself and you treat people as if they don't matter... I am seriously starting to question if you even have a soul... Hinata Hyuga is 20 times better then the likes of you in my view and I am proud to call her my friend."
Apparently that is not what Neji Hyuga wanted to hear because before NaMay knew what was happening Neji struck her in the chest with his open palm knocking the wind out of her. " Just as I thought you are just as weak and pathetic as Hinata, No wonder you are so proud to call her a friend... You're just as worthless as she is." Neji want to strike NaMay again expect this time she was ready for him and managed to block his attack.
" LET ME OUT OF THIS SEAT NOW LEE... THAT SON OF A BITCH IS NOT GOING TO HIT MY COUSIN AGAIN!" yelled out an irrate Darka Neko as she struggled to get out of the booth where she found herself stuck in between Lee and Kiba.
" No Neko, You will only make this worse... Please stay out of it... Let Neji get it out of his system, I have been sensing his frustrations with me all day and if this is how he needs to vent then so be it." said NaMay Okami as she dodged yet another attack by Neji Hyuga and for once she was glad Might Guy tied them together because that gave her some control over Neji's left hand so that he could not hit her with both.
" FINE BUT DAMMIT NAMAY FIGHT HIM BACK ALREADY... USE YOUR CHARM IF YOU HAVE TOO!"
" There is no way that I am going to use my Charm not after what happened with Iruka Sensei... I don't need Neji to run around thinking he is head over heels in love with me also, when we both know it is not real."
NaMay ducked under one of Neji's strikes towards her face but what she said got the attention of the Teachers in the room especially Kakashi who put his book down to watch with the rest of the crowd because it just got allot more interesting to him due to him having gotten into it with Iruka over his feelings for Okami.
" SO WHAT, IRUKA SENSEI CLEARLY HAS A SIMPLE MIND & NEJI CLEARLY HAS A STRONG MIND... WE BOTH KNOW THAT CHARM ABILITY OF YOURS LAST LONGER ON THOSE OF WEAKER MINDS COMPARED TO THE STRONGER MINDS... THAT WAS THE FIRST THING AUNT MAY TAUGHT YOU ABOUT THE CHARM... SO USE THAT SHIT ALREADY COUSIN!"
Iruka Umino just happened to walk into the Restaurant with Naruto Uzumaki right in the middle of NaMay and Neko talking about the Charm's Effect and he was standing behind NaMay as she kept trying to dodge Neji unrelenting attacks. Okami turned her head to look behind her at Iruka and in that one second Neji Hyuga finally landed another blow on her this time he chopped her in the throat causing her to lose her breath and drop to her knees gasping for air. Iruka not sure what was going on ran to her aid wrapping her in his arms using his body to shield Neji's attacks because that still wasn't enough for him.
Neko was over at the booth completely losing it at this point until she remembered her Cats, turning to Kiba she asked him to help her get her arm free out of her jacket since her other arm was trapped with Rock Lee's arm. Kiba did as she asked and spotted her cat tattoo seal for the first time but he was more interested in her jacket thinking it was awesome and that he would look good in some leather too. Neko done all she needed to do in order to summon her Cats only this time instead of a Tiger out popped a Golden Brown Lion who she called Simba, yes after one of her favorite Disney Movies. Also her tiny black kitten Midnight came out as well as she always done when the summon is used.
" SIMBA EARTH BIND ON NEJI, NOW!"
The Lion let out a roar before stumping It's massive paws against the floor and up came twisting wooden plants looping themselves around Neji Hyuga's body pinning his free hand down at his side completely restraining him from any more attacks on NaMay.
