Chapter 6

You Need Help With That?

"NO! YOU CAN NOT GET ME TO WEAR THAT AGAIN!" Asuka shouted.

"C'mon Asuka," Guy pleaded, "it's for the team."

"Why doesn't Neji have to wear it then!?" she yelled.

He glared at her, "Because I simply refuse to wear it, do not drag me into this." he said sharply before turning his back on her.

"I'M REFUSEING TOO THOUGH!" she shrieked.

"You wore it when you were a kid though," Guy said, "so what's the difference with wearing it now?"

"Because I like MY clothes." she stated.

"I think I have a solution!" Lee pointed out. "Hatsuharu, would you ever be so kind as to get Asuka to wear this?" Lee handed Hatsuharu the clothing, a flash of vengeance spread across his face as he faced his companion.

Her eyes were hollow for a split second before snapping back to reality, "Hatsuharu, my best friend, companion, partner, I KNOW I've done some thing to make you mad," she pleaded as he advanced towards her. "B-but were f-friends, right Hatsuharu? Hatsuharu?!" before she new it, he tackled her into their house kicking and screaming. "HATSUHARU! WHY!? PLEASE STOP! PLEASE!? NO! I WONT GO OUT THERE! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME IF YOU CANT CATCH ME!"

Her team heard only her yelling and furniture breaking before Hatsuharu shoved her out the door.

"Just like old times, right Asuka!?" Guy flashed the 'good guy' pose.

She grimaced in sorrow, wearing the green jumpsuit and orange leg warmers again. "Why do I have to wear this again?" she sighed, letting her head hang.

"Because the power of youth is within us all!" Guy shouted with glee.

She let her body fall to the ground, doing a face plant. "That's not a reason though."

"Come on Asuka!" Lee grabbed her arm, hoisting her up as her limbs acted like jelly, seeing no need to use them. "Our first mission awaits!"

"That's right Lee!" Guy agreed, "Neji, go help our client with her shopping." He ordered and pointed in the direction needed to go.

"Why can't Asuka go?" he asked a bit too quickly. "She has better social skills than me."

"Which is why YOU need to go." Guy started nudging him. "You'll learn my student." He started walking on his own to his assignment. "As for the rest of us, we shall help our client move furniture out of her house, and into a new one!"

"We shall do this mission with the power of youth sensei!" Lee shouted with blazing fire in his eyes.

"You ready Asuka?" Guy asked concerned.

I refuse to move. She thought. But I'm as ready as I'll ever be with these guys…she sighed and nodded her head, still not standing on her own, letting Lee carry her.

ooOoO0OoOoo

"OW!" Asuka shrieked in pain as she dropped her end of the couch on her foot.

"You ok?" Lee asked.

She sighed, then started to laugh the pain away, "Just fine, lets get this over with." She picked up the couch with Lee's help and got it into the house.

"You shinobi have done a fine job," the old lady/client complimented us, "and thank you Neshi for helping me with my bags." She patted Neji on the back.

"It's 'Neji' and your welcome mam." Neji replied.

"Good work today!" Guy praised. "Now it's time for training Asuka to not hurt herself, who knows how bad it'll get if she's in actual combat."

She slumped her shoulders, letting sorrow and humiliation fill her face as she plopped to the ground. "I'm accident prone sensei, that means I'm bound to get hurt no matter what, you've proven that."

"But where there are mistakes, there is room for improvement!" he flashed a grin as Lee and Guy helped her up.

"Can I at least change back into my clothes?" she asked innocently, "I feel… 'exposed' like this."

"Fine Asuka, but you only have 10 minutes before we have to find you ourselves, got that?" Guy stated.

"Yes sensei!" her eyes shot with excitement, finally able to get out of these ridiculous clothes and get into hers, such a wonderful evening! She sprinted to her home with Hatsuharu following close behind her.

Reaching their house, she slammed the door behind her and put on her clothes faster than any other day she ever put on her daily clothes.

"Hatsuharu… they are going to KILL me one day, and say it wasn't their fault because I get hurt all the time."

He just rolled his eyes, here we go again. He thought as he sat down, letting her pace the room.

"I've had two concussions, and one coma, CAUSED BY THEM!" she fiercely stated, "I like my sensei, and Lee, but they're both RECKLESS." She tangled her hands in her hair and paced faster. "They are both REALLY cool guys, really, they are, but they need to learn how to control their own strength." She eased up now, brushing out her hair and twiddling with her thumbs now. "I've known them for so long now though, I should be used it I guess." She giggled.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

She answered it to see it was Neji, "Asuka, we're waiting for you." he said sharply.

She sighed, preparing herself for another ridiculous day with her teammates. "I'm coming, I'm coming." She exited her apartment with Hatsuharu and locked the door before leaving with Neji.

After a quiet moment, "What do you think of our sensei and Lee?" Neji asked her.

"They're alright, I've known both of them when I was only a kid, and Guy trained me for about four years before I went into the academy. And because the Hokage didn't watch my progress, I was able to skip a year in the academy and be in your class, graduating early." She looked over at him, he was staring straight ahead with that plain look on his face, listening to her. "As for Lee, he's weird, but I'm weird too, so that makes us even. We became quick friends in only a few days, then as the years have past, I've learned things about him I would have never thought of."

"Like what?" he asked.

"Like, he lost his parents at an early age and lived by himself for the most of his life. He doesn't consider that a secret, it's not personal to him either, it's just another thing to be dedicated for to him, his deceased parents." She looked over at Neji again, either he was ignoring her or he was listening with no response. "He has a great personality, he really does, great confidence, dedication, but sometimes when he meets something that is near impossible to overcome, he falls into depression, that's when I try to pick him back up. It works most of the time, but when you can only use taijutsu, it's hard to overcome some obstacles, yah know?"

"Do you expect me to feel sorry for him?" he asked coldly.

"No, not at all, its people like you he wants to defeat the most."

He finally looked at her, "What do you mean?"

"A 'genius' he calls you, he wants to defeat the number one rookie in the academy, which is you, if he can beat you, then he'll believe in himself more, believing he's able to overcome more obstacles in the future." They made eye contact for a second before he broke it.

"So, he's going to keep challenging me till he wins? What a fool." He crossed his arms and closed his eyes.

A flicker of anger sparked in her mind, "Excuse me?"

"He is a 'failure', therefore, he will never win against me. I have won every battle I have been faced with, a 'genius' like me can not be beaten by the likes of Lee. Failures like Lee are destined to never beat me." it was like he was breathing out icicles is how cold he sounded.

Rage inflamed her whole body, wanting to take him down and show him what a 'failure' can do to a 'genius' like him! Her fists were clenched, ready to punch him in the gut and make him fall over as she kicked him in the ribs, breaking everything in his torso. But, he was her teammate, so she couldn't do that. Taking a deep breath and exhaling, she let it go and let Lee defeat him one day. "What does that make me Neji?"

He looked down at the ground, thinking, looking at the plants that sprouted on the side of the sidewalk. "I haven't figured that out yet, I still have not seen you fight, just get knocked out by recklessness."

"After three months, you haven't decided if I'm a 'failure' or not?"

"Like I said, I haven't seen you fight, just train." He stated.

She relaxed her shoulders. If he said I was a failure too, I was going to beat his head in. she wanted to glare at him, but didn't want to cause tension before training. "Your part of the Hyuga clan right?"

"Now what makes you say that?" he glared at her. "Did my eyes give it away?" he responded coldly.

She shook her head and went on anyway, "What does that Byakugan thing do? It makes it look like you have a nasty headache." She put her arms behind her head.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, he has explained this many times to people, and the leaf village should know of this by now, but he still explained it. "To keep this short and not overextend it, it basically lets me see through solid objects and the chakra that flows through your body. It also allows me to see nearly everything around me."

"Nearly?" she repeated.

He nodded, "I try hiding it when dealing with enemies, my only blind spot is around my neck area in the back."

"Does it hurt after a while?"

"No, well… if I use it for an extensive amount of time, it wont do any permanent damage, my eyes just get a bit temporarily damaged." His face looked calm again, didn't think she'd actually listen to him after making her mad like that.

Coming up on the gates of the training grounds, Asuka, Neji, and Hatsuharu entered to see that Lee and Guy sensei have already started.

"Ah Neji, you brought Asuka back," Guy recognized, "I thought we'd have to get her ourselves." He chuckled as Lee tried breaking his defenses.

"I can handle a simple task sensei." He crossed his arms and walked away from her. "It's not like a girl could be much of a problem anyway."

WHAT!? A storm brewed inside of her as she stomped towards Neji, "How about you say that to MY FACE NEJI!" she pushed him to face her, he stood a good 6 inches taller than her without even trying. Hatsuharu bit and tugged on her hand, trying to get her to back off, but she wouldn't budge.

He stared into her with those white/gray eyes, it was like an unbreakable chain connected the stare down. "If you believe you are even a match of me, then you are destined to lose."

"Guy sensei," Asuka spoke up, not looking away from Neji, "I wish to spar with Neji."

He blinked a few times, trying to process what just happened, "Wish granted! It's good to have a rival." He grinned, not noticing the atom bomb he just set off.

"Its on." Neji agreed.

"Your going to regret the day you decided everything was controlled by destiny!"

Ooooooh cat fight! =^w^= meow 3 is there REALLY a rivalry between Neji and Asuka? Maybe… just maybe ;) I'll let your minds wonder on that note.

I've been playing my old Naruto games o.o and I miss them dearly 3 I'm going to be ordering "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja STORM Generations" for Xbox 360 soon. Already played the demo and it was EPIC. Just loved it, I suggest getting it ;)

NOW I'll see you all next week!

1/21/12 "Destiny's a Bitch"
