Chapter three: Encounter with who?
After my run in with Gai-san, I ran into Aiyuna-sensei who apparently was very worried about me because I was taking way too long. According to her an hour is way too long. When she found me she saw that I was covered in bruises and lost it, she wanted to murder who had attacked me. The one thing that I like about her is that she is protective of her comrades and students and never lets them get hurt if she can do anything about it. I tried to explain to her that nobody had hurt me in the way that she was thinking of. After Gai-san had talked to me he wanted me to spar with Lee, He said that if lee could beat a Chuunin his training was paying off. Lee was very skilled at tai jutsu, I'll give him that.
~Flash back~
"I'll let you leave under one condition!" Gai-san said loudly. I sighed this is going to be an interesting request I can just tell. "You must be Lee's sparring partner! I want to test his skill against a different ninja of a different rank."
"Fine… I guess it couldn't hurt to do it, but I blame you if my sensei comes looking for me and yells at me for being late." I countered. He turned to his pupil and said to get ready for a challenge and then promised him something which changed the mood dramatically. Lee looked at me with a serious face and said "Please do not hold back."
I nodded and got into a fighting position. I was not very good at taijutsu, so this was going to be challenging, good thing though. I didn't move I was waiting for him to move first so I could formulate a plan. He was probably thinking the same thing but attacked first, he was fast and almost landed a hit on me if I didn't see him swing his leg out of my peripherals. As soon as his leg was close enough I did a backflip grabbing onto his calf. Me doing that surprised him so that's when I took my chance to use the momentum I had gathered from doing the flip to lift him in the air and throw him into the ground.
"Nice trick but I won't fall for it again." He said getting up and charging at me again only this time throwing a combination of punches and kicks using his speed to his advantage. I took some of them, blocking the others with a wall of water that I had pulled from the ground and hardened with my chakra. I honestly didn't want to use any but I sure as hell knew that I wasn't going to last if I didn't use any. This went on for a while throwing punches, dodging, landing a hit and repeat. I was having fun this was better than training with the sensei's in Amegakure who specialized in taijutsu.
Even though I was having fun I was bruised and bleeding to high heaven, this needed to end I can sense Aiyuna-sensei coming closer to see where I was. I heard a while back, well more like eavesdropped on one of her conversations that there was a man in Konoha that she absolutely adored to the umpteenth degree. That man's name is… well none other than Might Gai, and to be honest I really didn't want to carry her back to the camp site. That would have been a drag; like literally.
"Sorry Lee but I have to go. I hope that we can continue this another time, as for now I need you to come over here for a second." He obliged and made his way over here.
"What are you going to do now?" Lee asked. I didn't say anything besides telling him that I wasn't going to harm him. I started by grabbing my canteen and dumping the water I had in there out; as the water was coming out of the canteen Gai asked me what the water was for. I could have answered him but I chose not to because his question would have been answered in a bit. Any ways the water that was being poured out formed a sphere and moved some of the water to my other hand. Lee and his sensei watched as the water became an opaque color.
"I told you that I wouldn't harm you, now didn't I? I have much more pride than do something so low." I told him placing my hands on the major cuts and bruises that I had caused which was a lot during that short fight.
~ flashback end~
Aiyuna-sensei and I were on our way back to the camp after I had completed my task, sensei was not letting me out of her sight just in case the attacker came back as she had put it. I once again told her that I was fine and that I didn't need her to watch me like her life depended on it. It just so happened that while we were heading back Lee and Gai had popped in front of us.
"Gai-sensei, Lee-kun!" I called out to get their attention which worked. "Ahhh if it isn't Fuyuka-chan again" Gai said flamboyantly making me giggle. Aiyuna looked at me…, more like glared at me but I didn't care.
"I need your help Gai-sensei, more like a favor since I help you two out."
"Sure, what do you need?"
"Could you explain to Aiyuna-sensei" I pointed in her direction "that I was indeed training with you and Lee and that I wasn't attacked by anyone" I explained to him, he ended up laughing at my explanation, which encouraged Lee to join in as well. I swear if they don't stop laughing I'm going to… ohh never mind. Eventually the laughter died out and he put on his serious face.
"Fuyuka's sensei she indeed does tell the truth, for I Might Gai would never lie to such a youthful person such as your-self." After he said that the look on Aiyuna sensei's face was priceless but what happened afterwards was less than graceful if you ask me, then again you probably weren't.
"You can say that again." Ame-san joked. Going back to Aiyuna-sensei's predicament, she was laying face first in the dirt with her ass sticking up in the air.
"What a drag…." I sighed placing her over my shoulders "thank you for helping me Gai-sensei."
