Chapter 2
Sakura giggled slightly as she watched Rock Lee attack a tree with his un- casted arm.
Lee had eventually gone through with the surgery to fix both his arm and his leg and it had been very successful. Yet his arm and leg were still in casts, healing from surgery.
When they had reached the training spot. TenTen had demonstrated and even taught Sakura some of her moves that involved projectiles and other weapons. While Gai had done special training with the two boys. The two need slightly special training, Neji still being wounded and Rock Lee being in casts.
Now Gai was working with TenTen nearby but distant enough so that they could not be seen. Lee was practicing some basic tai-jitsu on a tree, while Neji leaned against a tree a bit of a ways away, eyes closed.
Lee was also trying to entertain Sakura, who was sitting on the ground watching him. He was talking to the trees, speaking as if it was an opponent, egging it on, like he was trying to get it to attack him. Sakura laughed as she watch and Neji occasionally snapped at them.
"So we meet again Mr. Tree," Lee said turning to a new tree and then attacked it, making her laugh again.
Neji opened his eyes a bit and looked at them, "Shut up," he snapped, "That's really annoying..."
"At least he is training, your not doing anything," Sakura said, and for the second time that day, she narrow her eyes looking at the Hyuga boy.
"That's not train, that's acting like an idiot, and if anyone needs training its you," Neji replied coldly, "I wouldn't be surprised if an academy student could beat you."
Sakura glared at him, her eyes alit with spite and hate. She got to her feat slowly and walked, slowly, over towards the "genius". 'I ought to pound the shit out of him!' Inner Sakura said as she stopped next to him.
"Are you calling me weak?" she asked bitterly.
"That would be an understatement," the black haired boy responded.
What happened next happened so fast, no one saw it coming. A loud smacking noise echoed in the area. It took a second for Lee to figure out what had happened, and then who had hit who and it took Neji a few moments to feel the pain in his left cheek.
'Heh, that'll show him,' Inner Sakura laughed.
Neji was stunned for a moment, then grinned slightly, "That was pathetic, you just proved my point... you are weak."
"Jerk," was all Sakura managed to say, her anger making her at a loss for words.
"I thought you liked jerks, after all you are obsessed with Uchiha," he said icily.
'TEMEE! How dare he insult Sasuke-kun!' Inner Sakura exploded. She raised her hand to slap him again and brought it down, however this time it never connected with Neji's face.
He grabbed her wrist just inches away from his head and his grin broadened. "Your slow too," Neji said squeezing her wrist tightly.
She raised her free hand to hit him, but it had barley moved when he had it too in his grasp. Then Gai entered, having heard the first hit, he came to make sure his students were okay, TenTen tailing at his heels.
"Neji! What are you doing?" Gai said as he took in the scene.
Neji tightened his grip on Sakura's wrist causing her to whimper slightly in pain. He then let go and brushed past her, walking away from everyone else.
"I'm going home," he simply said, obviously very annoyed and angry, as he walked from sight.
Lee ran to Sakura, almost frantic, "Sakura-chan! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Lee-san," she muttered as she rubbed her wrists, she turn to Gai and then added, "I'm sorry for disrupting your training."
"It's all right," the green beast said, smiling, his teeth shining.
"Well I should go anyways. Thank you very much for letting me train with you Gai-sensei," she bowed slightly to the jounin and then looked at his miniature clone, "Bye Lee-san."
With that she took off at a bit of a jog. Lee yelled a farewell to her and received a wave from the pink haired girl in return.

"These are great flowers Hinata," Naruto said cheerfully as he plucked a few more plants from the earth, "are you sure no one is going to mind us taking them?"
"No one in the family c-comes to this part of the grounds except for me," Hinata answered as she too picked a few flowers.
The two where on the grounds of the vast Hyuga estate. Hinata had mentioned a patch of flowers there and told Naruto he could get his flowers there. When they had gotten to the place, Naruto stood awestruck for a few moments, shocked at the sheer size of only the gates to enter the grounds. He had seen Sasuke's place before and it was pretty big, but it was nothing compared to the Hyuga place.
Now, with Hinata's help, he had all but a few needed flowers, for the second time that day.
"Thanks for your help too Hinata," he said.
"You're w-welcome Naruto-kun," the Hyuga girl replied, her cheeks becoming slightly flushed.
A characteristic fox like grin spread across Naruto's face when he noticed this. He had noticed she blushed a lot around, though he was a little too dense to yet figure out why.
She looked up and her white eyes met his, pretty much closed ones. Her face turned an even brighter shade of red and she looked back down at the ground.
Naruto tilted his head curiously, and opened one eye, looking confused, but shook it off and pick up a small white flower and began to fiddle with it.
"Do we have enough yet?" Naruto asked.
"I think so...,"Hinata said timidly as she surveyed the flower pile.
"Finally!" Naruto cried overjoyed.
He crawled about a foot to Hinata and the pile; slightly squishing the flower he had been unconciously playing with. He looked down at the flower and then to Hinata and again a grin spread across his face.
Naruto leaned close to the overly shy girl, "Thanks a lot Hinata."
She let out a little squeak and began to shake slightly. The blonde boy raised his hand slowly and placed the white flower behind her left ear.
"There! It brings out the colour of your eyes," Naruto said brightly then laughed a little, "or lack of colour I guess."
He smiled and pulled away from her. "Now I have to get these to Kakashi- sensei!"
He began to gather the flowers in his arms. Naruto managed to hold about three quarters of the flowers, but it made it hard for him to see anything in front of him.
"I'll help," Hinata said as she carefully picked up the rest of the flowers, still blushing from having Naruto so close.
The two walked to the massive gate of the Hyuga estate, Naruto never once stopped talking. When they got to the gates Neji was just walking in.
"Hello Neji-niisan," Hinata squeaked.
All he did was mutter in response, obviously very agitated.
Naruto shifted slightly so he could actually see Neji and noticed a fading, yet still visible red mark on his left cheek.
"Hey Neji what happened to you?" Naruto said, "looks like someone smacked you really good."
At this Neji grumbled something, ten times angrier, and stalked past them.
"What was that about?" the blonde genin said quizzically, but shrugged it off and the two continued to walk.
On the way Naruto nearly walked into about eleven people and three buildings, but fortunately with Hinata's help he managed to avoid any potential collisions.
He babbled the entire time, about random things. From why he liked ramen to his teacher's infamous books and parts of them he had read over Kakashi's shoulder, even a bit about his birthday the next day.
They got to the spot they were to drop the flowers off at in about fifteen minutes. To Naruto's surprise Kakashi was already there, leaning against the building the fox boy had kicked the rock against earlier, reading Icha Icha Paradise.
"You're not late!" Naruto yelled, shocked, " I thought you wouldn't get here until midnight!"
The grey haired jounin looked over the top of his book, "Oh well... and I thought of an excu... I mean this morning I was attacked by rabid monkeys..."
"LIAR!" Naruto shouted, dropping his flowers to point a finger at his teacher.
"Did you get all the flowers?" Kakashi asked, standing up straight and closing his book.
"Yeah, yeah!" Got em'. Hinata helped too!" Naruto said proudly.
"Well that's good..." Kakashi muttered, "teamwork is always important...Well that's all for today... you can go."
Naruto blinked a couple times. Even though he was very un-perceptive, he could still tell something was wrong with his teacher. But the day's mission was over and he had one thing on his mind... ramen.
"Okay! See you tomorrow Kakashi-sensei," Naruto said.
"No... I'm cancelling training tomorrow," Kakashi said as he pulled a scroll out from his vest.
"Great!" Naruto beamed then turned to Hinata, who had been quiet for some time now, "Come on lets go get some ramen!"
"Ano... okay," she replied and laid down the flowers.
Naruto grinned and grabbed her wrist, dragging her off to Ichiraku's.
