You know what I so foolishly did? I wrote the plot to every chapter, up to chapter 30, and there is still more to come after that, so this will be a long story. and quite frankly, I'm sad what will happen in-between now and later ;-; then again, it's not a good story unless something bad happens, making the story stronger with character.

Happy birthday to my first reviewer, kmgd14, SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! =D I hope you have a fantastic birthday ;D

On a final note, Asuka still wears the same clothes from the last chapter; every character in the Naruto world does that, so… yeah.

I hope you enjoy chapter five =)

Chapter 5

Accidents Happen

A year has past since Asuka was enrolled into the academy. She barley learned anything, and past the class with ease. She continued to train with Lee and didn't really like the other class mates; not even her teacher, so she didn't bother remembering his name. Everyday they trained, she saw Lee getting stronger, and faster in every way. He even met Guy, and he helped Lee pass by convincing a few people to let him pass.

Its graduation day, so everyone who past will be a genin, and given a headband resembling the leaf village. The people who got blue bands, means that they past with good scores. The people who got red bands, means they barley past, and the only person who got a red band, was Lee. But he didn't care, he past, he's just happy about that.

Everyone was assigned in a team of three to a jonin level ninja. Asuka, Lee, and Neji, were assigned to Might Guy. One of the most ridiculous jonin's in the whole village, but, he is strong, do not doubt him of this. Therefore meaning, Neji was the stick in the mud in the team.

ooOoO0OoOoo

"We past Asuka!" Lee exclaimed.

"I know right!?" Asuka piped "We're actual genin!"

"The power of youth is within us all!" Guy yelled out.

Neji just sighed and rolled his pupil-less, white/gray eyes, dreading every second of their 'glory'. Even Hatsuharu was happy for them, jumping around, wagging his tail, and licking everybody's faces.

"Hatsuharu!" Asuka yelled, "None of these poor people know where your tongue has been boy!" he pinned his ears back and did his 'innocent' smile.

"Why is everyone so happy?" Neji spoke up, "We're just going to be doing pointless missions until we're actual chunin."

Everybody just went dead silent, staring at Neji, dumbstruck.

"But Neji!" Guy broke the silence, wrapping his arm around Neji's shoulder, "It's the little things we do that makes us stronger."

"For the power of youth compels us all!" Lee added.

"That's right!" Guy let go of Neji and put his arms around Asuka and Lee. "As my new students! I want all of you to do ten laps around Konoha!"

"I will do twenty laps if I fail to finish first sensei!" Lee piped.

"Excellent!" Guy agreed, "Now go! I will meet all of you on the training grounds after you are finished."

"Come Asuka!" Lee grabbed hold of her arm, "We shall finish first!"

"Uh Lee, I don't think this is a good idea." He didn't hear her and started running off, dragging her along with him.

ooOoO0OoOoo

"We're back sensei!" Lee shouted after he got to the training grounds, "Me and Asuka finished." He still had a hold of her arm.

"Um Lee," Guy noticed, "are you sure she's fine?" he pointed to Asuka.

"Uh… I think so." He scratched the back of his head while looking at the unconscious, drooling, groaning Asuka.

"Lee, go get an ice pack," Guy told him, "I'll tend to her, try to get her to wake up, if that's even possible today."

"Yes sensei!" Lee ran off, leaving Guy to tend to her.

Guy sighed, "I remember our first day of training, I did the same thing to you, remember?" she remained silent, "Yeah, but I didn't hurt you like this, Lee is a youthful person huh?" she stayed silent. "Yeah, um, better see where Lee hit you exactly." He examined her head well.

"Oh, I see how he knocked you out now!" he looked at the back of her head where the spine and skull connect.

"Guy sensei!" Lee yelled out, "I have the bag of ice you requested." He handed Guy the ice filled bag.

"Very good Lee." He acknowledged, "I do have one question though,"

Lee straightened out his back, "yes sensei?"

"Did you run into a tree? Or hit her on a tree by accident?" he pointed to her head that had a bit of tree bark mixed with blood seeping out of the back of her head.

"Um… I may have ran right next to a tree by accident, and she may of hit it." He answered.

Neji entered the training grounds.

Guy face palmed, "Well Lee, you knocked her out cold."

"Nice going Lee," Neji spoke, "already treating our teammate with great respect." He glared at Lee.

"It's not like I meant to!" Lee shouted at Neji. "I just thought she was running with me…" he scratched the back of his head, glancing over at the unconscious Asuka as Hatsuharu followed behind Neji and saw her, just lying there.

He ran over to her, sniffing and licking her wound. Whimpering, looking at her with anxiety, wanting her to open her eyes and hug him.

"Guy sensei," Lee started, "why are you letting Hatsuharu lick her wound?"

"Well Lee, believe it or not, a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's mouth." he answered.

"But, they clean themselves." Lee stated.

"I know," Guy acknowledged, "but a dog's saliva can actually help quicken the healing process." He looked over Asuka to see she's still drooling and groaning in pain. He sighed before saying more, "Looks like she wont be training today, that means we get to train."

"What will we do with her?" Lee asked.

"I don't know, leave her at the hospital?" Guy suggested.

Hatsuharu violently shook his head 'no'.

"Then what do we do?" Guy asked.

Hatsuharu tipped his head toward his companion's house.

"Take her home then?" he asked.

Hatsuharu nodded his head with a slight grin.

"Alright then," Guy said, "Lee, take Asuka home, and be more gentle this time."

"Yes sensei." He agreed and grabbed her arm.

"Wait!" Guy shouted, "Make sure her head isn't facing downward, which means, don't carry her like a rolled up rug, and actually put her on your back."

He nodded his head and put her arm over his back, picking her up and holding her legs at his waist; letting her head rest on his shoulder before walking off.

ooOoO0OoOoo

My head is throbbing…she thought to herself. Where am I? She looked around, still lying in her bed. I gotta get up, last thing I remember was Lee dragging me, then something hit me. She grabbed the back of her head and felt some medical bandages were on her. This is great, just great, what happened? "Hatsuharu!" she called out, a few seconds later he was at her side. "How long has it been? An hour or two? How long have I been here anyway?" she kept throwing questions at him as he got to the calendar and pointed with his paw at a date. "It's been a whole week!?" she exclaimed, "What happened to me?!" he pinned his ears down at her, he couldn't talk. How was he suppose to tell her what happened? "Come on! I taught you that one jutsu for a good reason, use it."

He rolled his eyes and pulled out a parchment while dipping his paw into the jet black jar of ink. He focused for a bit and heard that similar sound when somebody performs a jutsu, then he smeared his ink-covered paw on the paper, not leaving a smug mark, but words. "Lee accidentally knocked you out," it read, "he's been checking up on you for the past week, seeing if you had woken up yet. He should be here any minute." He finished, looking over her in her pajamas.

"I guess I better get ready then- wait! Who changed my clothes?" she glared at him, but he just rolled his eyes, putting a paw to himself. "Of course it was you." she got out of her covers, still feeling groggy from her head. But she just shook it off and went to the closet to grab what she usually wore, and did her usual routine before heading out.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Somebody was at the door, "Hatsuharu, would you mind getting that?" she asked. He barked back and she came to the door.

"Asuka! Your awake!" Lee chimed.

She just looked him over, "Uh… Lee, what did you do?" he was wearing a green jumpsuit with orange leg warmers, his leaf band around his waist, with bandages around his hands and forearms and his hair was bowl cut.

"What do you mean- oh! You mean my appearance, well… I thought it was time to change, to look like our great sensei!" he smiled, giving me the 'good guy' pose.

Oh no… she thought. Now there are two of them. "I um… see that Lee." She kept looking him over and rubbing her eyes, making sure she's not dreaming.

"What's wrong?" he asked, concerned about her facial expressions.

He's lankier than I thought. "Nothing!" she piped, "You look good Lee!" she hugged him unexpectedly, but he hugged her back anyway. "I'll miss your long hair though, braiding it and stuff."

They released, "Maybe I can practice braiding your hair?" he asked kiddingly.

"Pfft! Yeah right! You kept messing up last time." she playfully punched his arm.

"Hey, are you hungry?" he asked, "Hatsuharu kept shoving food down your throat, put sometimes you vomited it back up, so I'm just wondering."

Her stomach growled, realizing now how weak she is from hunger now. "Yeah," she answered, "I'd like some food."

"Is ramen fine with you?" he asked.

"Anything is fine right now." She answered. "Besides, any food is good food."

He laughed, "Same here! Some people can be so picky sometimes."

"I know right?" she closed the door behind her as she left and walked with Lee. "People like us are weird huh?"

"No, we're not weird, we just have great character." He stated happily.

She smiled, then felt something on the back of her neck, she felt it and looked at her hand to see blood. "Uh oh…" she whispered to herself. Dizziness started fogging her vision and senses before she fell to the ground. If someone was talking to her, no doubt Lee, all she heard was echoes, but could vaguely make out what he was saying.

"Asuka!" he shouted, "Are you alright?!"

She blinked a few times before answering to the green blur, "D-don't… take me to a…" she couldn't form the words.

"A what?" he asked as he held her in his arms.

"H-hospital…" she passed out while she was in Lee's arms.

ooOoO0OoOoo

Hours later she woke up on a couch, that wasn't hers. Dang it, she thought to herself. Where am I now, wait a minute… this place looks familiar.

"Your finally awake!" Lee said happily.

She rubbed the back of her head, feeling how tender it is now. "Where am I Lee? Is this your place?"

"Yah," he answered, "it is. Here, drink this." he gave her a bowl of warm soup, not knowing what kind, she took it anyway and starting drinking it. "Why didn't you tell me your head was still hurting? We could have gone to eat some other time you know?"

"To be honest, I didn't notice it." she answered.

He gave her a questioningly look, arching a bushy eyebrow and blinked a few times.

She giggled to herself, "I don't know how I didn't notice it, I really didn't, but thanks for taking care of me." she continued to drink the soup.

He gave her a warm smile, "Asuka, I cant count how many times you helped me when I beat myself up on that tree, it's the least I could do, plus I am the one to cause it so… yah." He started to insecurely laugh to himself while scratching the back of his head.

She put a hand on his shoulder, "Lee, don't worry about it, Guy sensei knocked me out too."

"Really?" he asked.

"Really, the first day I was training with him, he was so excited that he dragged me through the city, hitting a few building along the way. As far as I'm concerned, you two could be related." She smiled at him as he just listened.

"Well… we don't really look alike." He stared at the ceiling thinking.

"Hey, I think I'm ready to go home now." She started to get up, but Lee stopped her.

"No can do Asuka!" he stood up grabbing her arm and hoisting her up onto his back. "If you walk again, you might faint, I'll carry you to your house."

She laughed, "Thanks Lee, really though, I think I can walk." She tried putting her feet down, but alas, she was only 4ft 5", and Lee was 4ft 11", so her feet did not touch the ground. He grabbed a hold of her legs and she went along with it, wrapping her legs around his waist a she put her arms around his chest like a seat belt.

"Could you relax your legs?" he asked, "I can hold you." he put his hands under mid thigh area as she relaxed, letting her legs dangle at his sides.

"Where's Hatsuharu?" she asked as he carried her out the door.

"I think he went back to your house, I'm not sure." He answered.

"Hey Lee…"

"Yeah? What is it?" he turned his head to look at her in the corner of his eye. She kissed him on the nose.

"Thank you." she snuggled closer to him, gently tightening her grip on his chest.

He turned bright red and his knees started to fail him.

"Please don't faint Lee!" she demanded, "I'm still on your back!"

He shook out of it, snapping back to reality, gaining control of his legs again. "Don't do that next time then, ok?" he said sheepishly.

An evil grin appeared on her face. "Well, we are friends Lee, so can I kiss you here?" she turned his head and pecked him his forehead. "What about here?" she pecked his cheek, feeling his face getting warmer.

He couldn't take it anymore, it seemed like his whole body was going to turn red. He lowered his head, hiding his face from her as he smiled and laughed. "Could you quit that? I just might drop you." his grip on her was loosening.

"Ok, ok Lee, I'm sorry." She hid her face in the side of his neck.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Hiding, I'm a bit embarrassed too." They both laughed happily, with both of their faces red, he took her home.

Well… what did you think? Yeah, she's short compared to Lee, REALLY short. I just thought it would be cute, if she was short and all… and the flirting is barley the beginning ;)

Sorry there were so many more time skips than usual, this chapter was going to be short, but I decided to put a few more things in there, so… yah. Why does Lee have to be so cute? I kept blushing as I wrote this, I really did, it was fun =) and I hope you love it, just as much as I enjoy writing it. Have a great day 3

See you next week! 1/21/13
