Chapter 2: Fun and Games
It's Early in the morning, I just finished having breakfast and now I got nothing to do. I was sitting under a tree in the training grounds of the Hyuga Compound watching the sun shine through the leaves. I had been living in Konoha for about 2 weeks now and from the looks of it I wasn't planning to leave any time soon. 'I made my bed, brushed my teeth and I already reorganized my closet for the fourth time this morning' I sighed 'so now what do I do?'
"Well I guess I could always go for a walk, at least that's something" I grabbed a rock from beside me and start digging at the dirt with it from boredom. I heard someone coming towards me and looked up to find it was only Neji. I soon went back to digging with rock. I then saw two feet in front of me. I look up again to see Neji there with his arms crossed giving me this weird look as though I was a little child who did something bad.
"What are doing just sitting here?"
"I'm bored, there's nothing to do here" I sighed once again for like the thousandth time that day dropping my head into my lap.
"Why aren't you with Hinata, usually you guys are always together" he knelt down in front of me putting his hand under my chin forcing me to look at him. For some reason he had a habit of doing that when he's talking to me and I'm not looking at him.
"Hinata's gone on a mission with Kiba, Shino and Naruto and since I'm not a Konoha ninja I wasn't allowed to go so now I have nothing to do" I said calmly moving his hand from under my chin so I could lie back on the tree. I watched him from were I was. He's still kneeling down and his eyes are looking at the ground in a trance like way. 'He's thinking'. He then looked up at me.
"Well since you have nothing to do and I know that if I leave you here all day I'll have to hear you late this evening when I get back so..." he paused to stand up "If you want you can come and train with me, Tenten and Lee"
"Sure...I guess it's better then nothing." Neji holds out his hand to help me up 'Plus that way I can figure how to work my dad's stupid sword' I grabbed his hand and helped me up on to my feet. He starts walking and I only follow. After 10 minutes I can hear someone up ahead of us. All the way there I lagged behind Neji but now I began to speed up a bit that I was at his side. I moved a tree branch out of my way to find Tenten practicing her throwing, while Lee was practicing taijutus with Gai-sensei. Gai sees me and Neji enter the training grounds and tells Lee to take a time out before walking up to us. I bow to him.
"Good morning Gai-sensei"
"Good morning Kimiko, it's nice to see such youth that you would come to train with us" Gai says giving me what I now know is the nice guy pose.
"Umm...yeah I guess but I really just came to train with my sword and see exactly what you Konoha ninja are capable of" I shrugged trying to walk away. Trying being the keyword. But Gai blocked my way.
"Well if you wish to see the youthfulness of Konoha then lets have a sparing match" I looked at him with my mouth wide open, I really couldn't believe he just challenged me in sparing. I looked around to see everyone else had stop training with the same look of shock I had.
"I spar you?" I tried my best not to sound rude but I guessed I did cause Neji gave me this look that just told me to watch my mouth. But it didn't seem to matter cause even if I did sound rude Gai didn't seem to notice. He was to busy laughing at what I said. I really hate when people laugh at me, I folded my arms across my chest giving him a questioning glare.
"No my dear girl, I want you to spar with my students"
"If you put it that way sure I'd love to" I uncrossed my arms and walked into the middle of the train grounds waiting for my first opponent.
"What youth...Tenten will be first, then my favourite student Lee and lastly Neji" Gai does the nice guy pose to Lee and Lee does the same. Lee starts telling Gai something about how he won't lose and so on and so forth. I just shake my head at them and look to Tenten who was now in front of me.
"How on earth to you deal with those two" pointing to Gai and Lee. She giggles.
"I have no idea...well anyway lets get on with this" Tenten takes out two kunai and gets ready to fight.
"Yes lets get this over with" I got into my stance and waited for the go ahead. Gai then shouted go for we could start. Tenten jumps up into the trees and uses them as cover. 'She's measuring the distance between us...hmm...this is interesting she's a long-distance fighter.' I closed my eyes for a moment just to listen to the wind. I smirked.
"Gotch'a" I threw 3 kunai into the trees behind me. Tenten then jumped from the trees with a cut on her left arm. She stands up and grabs a scroll from her weapons holster, she uses her blood from her cut and runs it over the now open scroll. She makes a couple of hand signs and a bunch of weapons emerge from the scroll as she throws them at me. I looked at the weapons straight on hearing Lee yelling for me to move out of the way. But I didn't I stayed where I was, just as the weapons get close they start to look like there slowing down and I'm able to dodge ever single one. Pulling out another kunai I throw it at Tenten and hits her in the leg. While she's in shock that I missed every attack, I move behind her. Tenten looks up to where I was standing and starts looking for me.
"I'm right here" I said behind her and karate chopped her in the back of the neck before she could react. Tenten fell unconscious but I managed to catch her before she hit the ground. Everyone including the unemotional Hyuga Neji was watching me in shock as I brought Tenten to a tree and wrapped up her wounds. I stood up to see Lee right there looking at me like I just killed someone.
"How did you do that" he said still looking at me, but I had no idea what he meant.
"Uhh...what do you mean" that's when Neji spoke up.
"Tenten is a weapons master, she never misses her target and her target usually always misses her" I then finally understood why everyone was so shocked.
"I don't no how I did I just reacted nothing more nothing less" They seemed to accept that. So I walked back over to where I was standing before my match with Tenten started, but this time Lee was my opponent. Once again Gai yelled go and the battle started. One minute Lee was there next he was gone. 'God he's fast but that's not going to help him'. I looked above me to see Lee coming at me. He tries to punch me but I blocked it. I kicked my leg around to hit him in the head but he blocks it with his other hand. I flipped backwards somehow managing to hit Lee in the face making him fly back landing on the ground. As I land on my feet Lee gets up.
"Not bad Kimiko I wasn't expecting that one" he said panting.
"You're not to bad yourself Lee but your taijutus isn't going to save you from me" I smirk at him taking off running to him at an amazing speed.
Neji's P.O.V
'Wow I wasn't expecting her to be this good, first she blocks all of Tenten's attacks and now she beating Lee's taijutus.' Kimiko runs to Lee at an amazing speed punching him but he blocks them jumping up into the air over Kimiko trying to kick her from behind. BAM!
"S-She Blocked It!" shouted Gai-sensei. Somehow with out turning around Kimiko was able to block Lee's kick and was now holding it in the air. She spins her body around and twists Lee's leg. I can see the pain she's causing him in his face. Lee tries to get him self-free by punching her in the face but Kimiko catches that too. 'Now she has the advantage' I could only help but smirk as Kimiko picks up Lee and throws him into a tree.
"Alright that's the end of that Kimiko wins this round too" says Gai-sensei as he scratches his head trying to take in that his favourite student was just beat by another ninja let alone a girl.
"She's better then they say" whispered Gai as he walked to Lee. Even though he was really quiet when he said it I managed to hear what he said. 'What does Gai-sensei mean by that?'.
Back To Your P.O.V
"Are you ok Lee" I asked looking at him. I was worried about him even if I didn't show it.
"Yes I'm perfectly fine" he then look to Gai beside him "I'm sorry for losing Gai-sensei and for that I will do 600 laps around the forest starting right now"
"That's the spirit Lee, I'm proud of you but you just rest now" good guy pose Lee started crying.
"Gai-sensei"
"Lee" they hugged each other
"Gai-sensei"
"Lee" I just stood there and watched them dumbfounded Oo. I had no idea what was going on so I just walked away before I got anymore confused. Like 5 minutes later Gai and Lee stopped there lovey dovey moment so we could go on with the last battle.
"Alright" said Gai standing up "Last but not least Kimiko vs. Neji, get to your places" I smirked at Neji as I walked back to the middle of the training ground and got into my fighting stance.
"You ready too lose Pretty-boy" I saw him twitch in announce at his new nickname. He then got into the Hyuga fighting stance activating his Byakugan.
"Yes I'm ready to see you lose"
"You wish Pretty-boy" I closed your eyes waiting and thinking. ' Tenten was easy, Lee was a little harder I had to use some chakra to keep up with his speed plus he got me once or twice but...the Hyuga that's different his going to be a lot harder I might have to use my father's sword sooner then I planned' I reopened my eyes.
"Alright Start"...
