Chapter 1: Meeting the Team
"Where exactly are we going?" Sango asked as Lee led her through the streets of Konoha.
"I'm going to take you to meet my sensei, Gai," Lee replied.
"What's he like?"
"You'll find out soon enough!" Lee said, smiling happily.
Soon, they arrived in the forest.
"Usually Gai-sensei is around here…" Lee said, half to Sango and half to himself. Suddenly, they heard a loud voice up ahead.
"What do you want to do this time, Kakashi? How about a taijutsu battle? Or a 100-meter race? What about snorkeling? I don't even care if it's an eating contest!" the voice said.
"Hey, now…" another voice said in a slightly bored voice.
There were three people standing in a clearing in the forest. One looked a lot like Lee, with a green jumpsuit and bowl cut black shiny hair. But he was an adult, taller and with darker skin, and he had a vest representing that he had passed the Chuunin exam. The second person was also an adult, and also had a Chuunin vest like the first person. He had light gray hair and wore a mask over his face. His ninja headband covered his left eye, and he stood in a laid-back manner. The third was a teenage girl, with long, dark brown hair and light green eyes. She wore a dark red tank top, long jeans to her heel, red boots, and she had her ninja headband around her head.
"GAI-SENSEI!" Lee shouted, running into the clearing, where Gai and Kakashi stood.
"LEE!" Gai shouted back, hugging him.
"Now to make our escape!" Kakashi said, making a hand sign and disappearing in a puff of smoke. The girl did the same.
Sango stood staring at the scene, confused.
Lee and Gai let go of each other and Lee walked over to Sango and Gai followed.
"Sango, this is Gai-sensei," Lee said,
"Gai-sensei, this is Itonami Sango. I met her at the curry shop this morning."
"You like curry too?" Gai asked.
"Yeah, it's my favorite!" Sango answered, grinning.
A girl in a pink shirt, black pants, and brown hair in 2 buns walked into the clearing.
"Hey Tenten! I didn't know you would be here!" Lee said excitedly.
"I wanted to make sure Gai-sensei wasn't getting himself into trouble," Tenten said. "Who's the girl?"
"Itonami Sango, nice to meet you, Tenten," Sango said.
"Tenten, have you seen Neji around?" Lee asked.
"No, not lately…" Tenten said, sighing.
Two figures walked into the clearing out of the shadows side by side. One was a boy with long black hair with a tan shirt and navy blue pants. The other was a girl with a black kimono and long silvery hair. She also had black dog ears on the top of her head and red eyes. She wore her ninja headband around her neck. Above her headband was a black necklace with red jewels on it.
"Sango, this is my other teammate, Hyuuga Neji," Lee said. "Hey, Neji, introduce your friend to us."
"This is Oujoukei Inuyasha, my best friend."
"Wow, Neji, I didn't know you had friends!"
"Well, I do now," Neji said indignantly. "I have one."
"That's a lot of friends, Neji," Tenten said sarcastically.
"How can you stand to be around this woman?" Inuyasha asked Neji.
"I can't." Neji answered.
"Hey!" Tenten yelled. "I can hear you, you know!"
"Who cares?" Neji and Inuyasha said at the same time.
'I've met a lot of weird people today…' Sango thought to herself. 'All because of Lee…'
