I'm back. Thank you to those of you who reviewed. And to answer your question pixiegirl100, yes Ai is related to Hinata and Neji. Now on to the story!
disclaimer: no, i do not own Naruto. If I did, there would be little Uzumaki-Uchiha babies running around everywhere, and Lee, Chouji, and Shikamaru would have much bigger roles in the series.
Hyuuga Ai was normally not like his older cousin Neji when it came to ranting about fate . Today was different. For it seemed fate had decided to be cruel to him and decide to stick him on the team led by Rock Lee, the man who's eyes had terrified him since he was a little kid.(1)
"Curse you fate and your sick sense of humor!" He literally screamed to the sky, earning him stares from his two teammates. The two of them just shook their heads and sighed.
"At least he let us wait until today for introductions and the test."Satu mumbled while redirecting the stare at the ground. Their sensei had decided to wait until the weather had cleared up a bit to do the test, and to let them introduce themselves then.
"Hey Satu, are we close to training ground six yet?" Kirai asked, looking around. Satu looked up and blinked a few times.
"Don't tell me you guys were relying on my sense of direction..."
Ai surpressed the urge to slam his head against something.
"MY YOUTHFUL STUDENTS, YOUR LATE!" None of the teens even had a chance to shudder before a green blur came speeding up to them, then stopping just in time to avoid crashing into them.
"Sorry Lee-sensei. We got lost." Kirai said with a grin.
"I'll forgive you for now, but if you pass my test, I may not be so lenient in the future!" Lee half shouted with a smile, "Now, please introduce yourselves and tell me a bit about you, then we can go on to testing your youthful flames!"
The three just glanced at each other, before Satu and Kirai shoved Ai in front of them. He glared at the two, who simply tried their best to look as innocent as possible. Which wasn't very. Seeing that he wasn't getting out of this, Ai sighed and turned back to their sensei. He tried very hard to avoid the taijutsu master's eyes as he spoke.
"My name is Hyuuga Ai. I like to fix things and hang out with friends. I look up to my cousin Neji." he said flatly, his white eyes staring blankly at the ground. He managed to see Lee-sensei turn to the other two and sweatdrop. Turning also, he saw Satu and Kirai playing rock paper scissors to see who would go next. Kirai lost.
The red head sighed, but her grin quickly returned.
"I am Ogata Kirai. My hobbies are sewing and drawing. I want to become one of the top kunoichi in Konoha!" she said confidently. Then she turned and poked Satu in the side,"Your turn."
Satu sighed, then spoke, "I am Nekomura Satu. I like to draw and practice my ninjutsu. I've always dreamed to one day become one of Konoha's best medicnin."
Ai watched a bit of confusion pass over Lee-sensei's face, before being replaced by a blinding smile.
"Not many boys decide on being a medicnin so early on, most want to be Anbu! Good for you!" Lee said, before giving a thumbs up.
Silence spread across the training ground, and Ai could have sworn the tempature had dropped just a little.
"Lee-sensei, I am a girl..."Satu growled.
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o
Satu's vision had gone red. Sure, the fact she was lacking curves even for her age and she wore baggy clothes might confuse some people, but the voice shoulda said something! Oh, how she wanted to strangle the strange bushy-browed (they made her dad's eyebrows look thin!)man.
She heard laughing from her right, and turned to see Kirai trying her best to get her laughter under control. The busty redhead only laughed harder when satu glared at her.
"Shut up you top-heavy bitch!" satu snapped, but to no avail as Kirai's laughter continued.
"Lee-sensei, can we just start with the test?" Ai said quickly, before someone managed to get hurt unneccesarily. Lee-sensei snapped out of the half shocked/half embarrased state he was in due to his mistake.
"Oh yes, of course!" the jounin said quickly, before pulling out two bells(2), "Your test will be to get these two bells from me before times up! You can use whatever means neccesary:traps, ninjutsu, taijutsu, whatever you see fit. Just make sure you get the bells, or you fail and get sent back to the acedemy!" Lee-sensei said, then gave them his good-guy pose, complete with pinging teeth.
The three genin were silent for a moment, before Kirai spoke up.
"But sensei, there's two bells and three of us!" the redhead shouted. Lee-sensei only smiled.
"You'll figure that problem out on your own hopefully!" he said cheerfully. Satu sighed, then turned to her teammates, who both nodded.
'"Okay the sensei, let's start." she said, turning back to the jounin.
"When I say go, you may start! I wish you luck and hope that your youthful flames will help you prevail!"
The three genin fell into different stances, and waited for their signal.
"GO!" Lee-sensei shouted, and the three disappeared into the surrounding trees.
...okay, i intended that to be much longer, but...BLAME THE COOKIES! geez, for some reason I'm having a hard time writing Lee's dialogue...meh...
1) Ai was about eight when Neji was still a genin. He met Lee once, and has been terrified by Lee's eyes ever since.
2) meh, didn't have any ideas for the test, so i just went with the bell test...
