Well hello guys! I've got some pretty funny reviews, and I want to answer them immediately, so here goes!!!
Animelover5.6: Well, they are teenagers after all, and since they are going out, no, engaged, it was bound to happen!
ifTheFlameConsumes: Ahahaha, different eh? Well, yeah, sorry if you didn't like it that much.
Van the Key of Lain: Can I ask you, how you got your name? Don't worry, you have a very nice… er… inner you. Ha-ha, Lee is still human you know? A human boy with natural cravings. I hope I can give you what you want.
StrawberrySakuraChan: Ha-ha, chicken out? I never even thought of that! But that would result in some very unhappy readers so no, that's not what's going to happen.
Darth Cooper: Don't worry, I loved the phrase! It's funny Haha, how? Well, I'm still worrying about that myself. Aaaw, you can glomp Lee, I'll keep Sakura at bay for a few seconds.
The ruby wolf: "grin" You didn't seem to have enjoyed it so much, sorry.
Panther eyes: Hahaha someone else just sent me a review telling me she could deal with the jumpsuit but not the hair and eyebrows! It was so funny for me. As for me, I love everything about Lee, and especially his good guy poses, they're so cute! Telling him not to do them anymore would make him sad.
Troublesome writer: "grin" someone told me she hated the jumpsuit but didn't mind the eyebrows and haircut in a review. You guys make me laugh so much! I'm jealous too. I can't wait for the reactions either. "grin" you know me. Er… "feels stupid" what's an er…. Lemon?
The16thDay: I'm glad you liked it, I really am. Well, here is the update, quick as always.
And that was that. Argh, writing this next chapter is making me feel anxious, I wonder if I'll be able to do it. Well, here goes nothing I suppose.
On with it!!!
Questions!
Lee got up early, very early. The moon was still out, the streetlights giving the outside an orange and mysterious feel. The streets and paths were glistening because of the rain that had fell this night, the stars' light adding to the beautiful scenery. A gentle gust of wind blew Lee's hair gently out of his face. He breathed in, smiling and closing his eyes to enjoy the scent of the night. The cold didn't even matter right now. Lee looked over at his destination, a grim expression suddenly appearing on his face. He was about to go see his sensei.
Yes, he in fact did know that the hospital probably wouldn't be open to visitors at 3.00 a.m. but he would find a way to enter. He walked slowly but surely thinking about his plan of action. One thing he knew for sure, and that was that his sensei was wide awake right now. The truth was that Gai normally got up at this hour every day to train and enjoy his youthfulness. He had told Lee not to because he was still a growing boy that needed his rest. Lee, knowing that his sensei was always right, had pouted a little but accepted the explanation nonetheless.
He finally reached his destination and casually walked trough the hospital doors. What happened next, he did not expect. "Lee, I'm glad you're here!" a very distressed Tsunade yelled at the boy. Lee had no idea what was going on, but of course could never deny a woman his help when he was needed. So, he bravely stepped forward, the brave twinkle glancing in his eyes. "What can I help you with Tsunade-sama?" he asked. Tsunade grasped the boy by his shoulders with such force, she made him stumble backwards a bit. "Lee, you have got to talk some sense into Gai, right now!"
Lee blinked. He didn't know how to feel right now, utterly confused or happy because he could just go see Gai-sensei like that? He thought it would be wise to inform himself further on the matter at hand. "Why is that necessary Tsunade-sama?" he asked, almost scared because the woman started to grow more and more furious for some reason. "He keeps trying to leave whenever we aren't looking!" she screamed, completely outraged. "He says it's time to go train!" Lee blinked. "Well… it is Tsunade-sama." He responded, as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
Tsunade growled. "If he overdoes it, he could get himself killed, his bleeding hasn't even stopped yet, and his freakin' bones are cracked!!!" Lee kind of expected Tsunade to hit him while she said that, but lucky for him, the fifth hokage did not. "What can I do for you then?" Lee asked, finally understanding the problem. Tsunade seemed to calm down a bit at this. "Stay with him tonight, and don't let him leave." She stated. "Keep him busy if you have to." Lee smiled. "If that is necessary, I will do it, Tsunade-sama." Lee said sweetly, a grin appearing on his face. Yes, mission complete! Tsunade raised an eyebrow at the grin suddenly appearing on Lee's face but paid no mind to it seeing how she had much more urgent tasks at hand.
"I'm counting on you, Lee." She said "Gai is in room 216" Lee nodded and watched as Tsunade turned on her heels and quickly walked off, her hair swaying a bit behind her. Room 216, Lee only guessed it was on the second floor. He took the stairs, never having cared much for elevators, and quickly arrived at his destination. He then went around, searching for room 216. That too had been found rather quickly and Lee was fairly proud of himself. When he entered the room though, he was already mentally slapping himself for being so slow. "Gai-sensei, get away from that window!" he screeched in all his youthful splendour. Gai, who had half crawled out of the window pulled his head back to find his number one student standing there.
"Lee!" he said with much pleasure and tried stepping towards the boy, only resulting in him not being able to support himself and landing flat on his face. Lee could only guess how long it had taken him to reach the window. He sat down beside his sensei and pulled him up carefully, dragging him back to his bed, while Gai kept protesting. Lee wouldn't have it though. "Lee, I'm already late for training" he said. "I know sensei." Lee said. "But I will not allow you to leave when hurt!" Gai held back the urge to glare at Lee and gave him a shaky, half-hearted nice guy pose instead. "Wonderful how you're looking out for me, Lee!" he said with pride. "You truly are a wonderful student."
Lee smiled at Gai with big, shiny teeth and sat down, next to Gai's bed. "So, you defeated Orochimaru." Gai started. Lee looked at him, a little bit surprised. Everyone seemed to only care about that. It was not like he had beaten Akatsuki or something. Orochimaru was only a small and abandoned part of all the evils, so how was it that spectacular? "Yes, I did Gai-sensei." Lee said, not a single expression readable on his face. "And you did it while using the drunken fist!" sounded Gai's booming voice, now louder then ever. Lee smiled proudly. So, that's what his sensei was so excited about.
"Yes, I did Gai-sensei!" he said in a voice matching his sensei's loudness. "I knew you could do it, Lee!" A very shaky thumbs up was nearly pushed up in Lee's nose. Gai's face grew serious all of a sudden. "And, what of Sasuke… is Sakura alright?" Lee sighed heavily. "Sakura was nearly raped, Gai-sensei, by that traitor." Gai gave him a serious look. "Nearly?" he asked, urging Lee to carry on. "I managed to save her just in time." Lee said. "Good, Lee, then why are you so gloomy right now?" Lee didn't tell Gai that he was feeling guilty that it ever could happen, and that he was feeling stupid for not having realized it sooner. He didn't tell Gai how he felt great sadness at knowing how much Sakura had been forced to struggle. No, he said nothing, for the man had his own problems to deal with right now. Instead, he just decided to cut to the chase and ask the question he had wanted to ask since he had gotten up this morning.
"No matter Gai-sensei, but what I wanted to ask you is…er…" Well, he tried to ask the question but was a bit embarrassed about it. "Go ahead Lee, ask me anything you'd like!" Gai urged, not knowing what was about to hit him. "Well, sir, it is about er… Sakura, she er…wants to… 'cough'" Gai raised a question. "What was that last part you hid in a cough, Lee?" he asked. Since when was his student embarrassed to ask anything of him? Lee gulped. "She wants for me and her to experience the feeling of the ultimate togetherness, an expression of our love, presented trough actions that are so great, no words need be involved." Lee dared not look his sensei in the eye. He had tried his best to formulate his question, and now he had to wait for an answer.
Gai, having known his prized student for years now, understood what he was saying immediately. "Oh" was his clever reply. He almost dared not ask his next question, but he had to. "And what is your question then, Lee?" Lee's cheeks began to redden deeply and he couldn't help but stare at his shoes. "I do not really know…how to satisfy her expectations." He mumbled. "I was wondering if you could give me some advice Gai-sensei." It was then, Lee's hopeful eyes met Gai's dazed ones. "Lee, you silly boy!" Gai said in a weird kind of cheeriness. "She expects you to be you and to satisfy her in your own youthful way!" Lee frowned. That was kind of an awkward reply. It wouldn't do him much good, but he knew he couldn't get anything else out of his sensei.
He decided he would rather ask someone of his own age, seeing how they would perhaps know a bit more of the present… trends if you will. Yes, he would ask Neji! A jounin of his calibre, genius and beauty must know something that will help him, right? He didn't leave the hospital yet though, he needed to look after his sensei, make sure he wouldn't run off, or try to run off for that matter. And so, they stayed chitchatting about the youthfulness off things until at 6.00 a.m. Gai finally fell asleep. Lee knew that if he did, he was very tired, and would not wake up for hours. He knew it was safe to leave because of that and decided to exit the hospital. The white of the walls was already hurting his eyes.
Though he was pleased that Gai was kind of alright at the moment, he was not completely happy with the answer his sensei had given him. He immediately went to visit his own eternal rival to clear more problems and questions haunting him at the moment. He stopped at the Hyuuga gate and knocked loud and hard, minding that he shouldn't break it down if he wanted any answers today. Eventually, a shy girl, wiping her tired eyes, opened the gates, hiding herself partly behind it.
"Good morning Hinata-san" Lee greeted, courteously bowing to the now blushing girl. "H-Hi Lee-san." Hinata greeted back in her own shy voice. Lee smiled encouragingly at her. He wanted her to be able to feel comfortable, but hadn't succeeded in making her feel that way so far. Oh well, he could only try his best. "Forgive me for intruding so early on Hinata-san." He said in his own cheerful, reassuring voice. "But I am in desperate need of conversing with your dear cousin, being my dear rival, Neji-kun." Hinata blinked at the strange perkiness the ninja before her possessed so early on, but smiled when he gave her a shiny smile of his own.
"I think Neji-sama is still asleep, Lee-san." Hinata said, apologizing. "Would you like me to wake him up for you?" Lee put out his hand as if wanting to stop her and shook his head. "If you would allow me to, Hinata-san, I would not wish for Neji-kun to yell at you for waking him up so I would like to go wake him myself." Hinata seemed to think his words over carefully. "I promise I will not do anything to harm anyone or anything while staying here." Hinata smiled. She knew the boy was reliable enough. "W-Well, a-alright then." She said, stuttering sweetly.
She opened the door a bit farther to allow Lee in, and led him to Neji's chambers. "T-this is h-his r-room." She stuttered. "Thank you kindly Hinata-san." Lee said kindly. "I appreciate this greatly." He bowed a little to the blushing girl before turning to the door and knocking it. All he heard was a low, harsh grunt and the sound of someone turning over. He knocked again and heard how something hard slammed against the door. Still, no one opened it though. When he knocked a third time, he was simply ignored and thought this was the best moment to come in. He had knocked after all.
He opened the door slightly and found a scattered alarm clock lying sadly blinking at his feet. He shook his head at the display of cruel violence and approached the bed in the room a bit more. "If you don't want to die, leave." Spoke a low, tired voice. "But Neji, my esteemed rival, I need to ask you a question!" Neji jumped up at hearing the voice of the person he had least expected to have entered his chambers. "What are you dong here, Lee?!" asked a very angry Neji, throwing his pillow at the lack of an alarm clock. Lee caught the pillow and laughed a bit at catching his rival off guard.
"Do forgive me, Neji, but I must ask something important of you." Neji decided to listen, since his curiosity had won him over. Lee handed the pillow back to Neji and took a deep breath, as if preparing to jump into a river from a very high cliff. "If you're going to wait for another hour to come out with it, come back in an hour." Neji growled. Lee smiled nervously, and Neji just frowned at him. What was up with the boy? "Alright, I'll say it." Lee said dramatically. "How do you please a woman in bed?" He asked a bit too loud to Neji's pleasing. But the shock was what really took him over right now. "What did you just ask me?!" he uttered.
"Please, do not make me repeat myself." Lee groaned pleadingly. Neji inspected Lee for a few more seconds, as if trying to find out if he was pulling some kind of prank. When he found he wasn't, he sighed and swung his legs out of his bed. "Lee, if you must have an answer…" Lee looked up at him with big eyes. "…You must ask the girl herself. Each girl wants different things, you know?" Lee gaped at him with his mouth half open. Sure, the answer was genius, and he probably could know this was true for with his beauty he must've mesmerized tons of girls so far, but what good did it do Lee?
"You mean this?" Lee asked. Neji looked at him, almost with pity in his eyes. "Yes, Lee, it's just how it is, ask Tenten if you don't believe me." Neji placed himself back onto his snugly pillow. "And let me sleep for the love of God!" Lee sighed. Well… at least he learned something valuable, but it was not going to help him tonight, not ever even, if it depended on him. He excited Neji's door, finding a very flustered Hinata outside. "Oh, Hinata-san, I am so sorry, I did not know you could hear us." Lee apologized. "Please forgive me for being so impolite." It seemed Hinata didn't know what to say, instead, she ran off.
Lee sighed. Oh well, he'd make it up to her later, right now, he had a much more urgent mission, to go and find Tenten! The sun was out already, and the lights were out. No more lights sparkled on the streets and the scent of night was gone, but Lee didn't let it get to him. He liked the scenery of the pine trees swaying in the wind, small hints of snow glistening in the sunlight a nice alternative too. And soon, he bumped into Tenten's house. He took a deep breath. This was going to be the hardest part, to ask a girl herself.
He rang the doorbell with one of his long fingers, only to suddenly hear a very loud yelling. Even though he didn't make out the words, he was sure the words were directed at him. Nonetheless, he waited patiently for his female team-mate to open the door. When she did, he was almost blown back by the force of her loud words, being aimed at him. "Lee, what in the world are you thinking?! Showing up here at this godforsaken hour! How dare you?!!!" A few people passing by glanced at her curiously and amused. Tenten blushed in response and dragged a nearly deaf Lee inside.
"This better be good." She said, tapping her foot. Her hair was loose and she was wearing a cute, pink nightgown. She probably had still been asleep, and Lee felt a little bit guilty, but this was really important. "Neji sent me." He started, trying to take a bit of the blame off of his own shoulders. Tenten sighed and urged him to go on. "Yes, for what?" Lee coughed. "For my, erm… question." Tenten eyed him curiously. A question! And one that Lee had a hard time asking too, now that was interesting. It'd probably result in some good gossip for her as well. Poor Lee didn't know what he was getting himself into.
"Could you tell me Tenten, please, what a girl likes when enjoying the game of love with the boy she loves?" Tenten gasped and took a few steps back. Lee had dared ask her that? "Lee, am I understanding you correctly?" Lee nodded shyly and a bit sad. It seemed Tenten was not going to answer him, seeing how bothered she looked by the question. Tenten caught the sad look in his eyes and decided to help him. "I'll help you Lee, on one condition!" Lee looked up at her with happiness shining in his dark eyes. "Anything, Tenten!" he said hopefully. "Don't tell anyone I'm the one giving you this advice." She said warningly.
Lee nodded understandingly. Tenten came closer and whispered stuff into his ear, Lee's cheeks reddening with each word, his eyes looking at every corner in the room while his trail of thoughts went everywhere. This was good, this was very good. Sakura was going to have the time of her life!
