Unwanted
Chapter 16 – The Search Continues
--
Lee smiled, as did Neji.
"Begin!" Anko called and they both readied their stances. Lee started off fast, but Neji countered with his Rotation technique. (A/N: I really wish I knew what all the jutsus and stuff were in Japanese!!!)
"Go uh…Lee!" Guy-sensei called from the stands.
"Guy-sensei! You want Neji to lose?" Ten-ten asked her sensei. Guy-sensei sweat dropped and sat down.
"Well kind of…" he replied.
Lee countered Neji's counter with his Leaf Hurricane, and Neji countered it with his Rotation again. They continued to counter each counter the other threw, countering, countering again, and countering again. It was one of their silliest moments. People in the stands started to yell for a real battle.
"Neji is so strong, but I have speed as an advantage now." Lee thought.
"Lee is both strong and swift, I have to keep guarding, but using the Rotation over and over is draining my charka. Damn…" Neji thought.
"Time for a real battle." They both thought.

Flashback:
--
"Lee," Guy approached Lee one afternoon, "I need to talk with you."
Lee stopped his training for a moment to see what his sensei had to say. "What is it, sensei?"
"Well," he began, "I haven't said this before, and I know how much you want to beat Neji this time, but…"
"What is it, Sensei?" Lee inquired.
"Lee," he took a deep breath, "I don't want you to use the lotus against Neji."

End Flashback:
--
"Guy-sensei." Thought Lee. "I'm sorry, but I cannot do what you ask. I lost to the sand ninja last time, and I've waited so long to beat Neji. I've gotten so far; I will not restrain myself now! Please forgive me, Guy-sensei!"
"That's…!" thought Neji right before Lee kicked him up into the air.
"Lee," thought Guy, "I told you not to. I should have known you wouldn't listen."

Naruto and Cagalli returned to the chuunin exam arena, hoping to not only find Katayanagi, but also to see whose match it was. They made it just in time to hear Anko announce Lee as the winner.
"And for the next match, Temari vs. Ayame!" announced Anko sternly.
Ayame smiled, she was getting restless and was glad when it was finally her turn to kick ass.
"My opponent is from Sunagakure, the sand village, the same place Cagalli is from, as well as Gaara." She thought, doing some last minute thinking as she walked towards the stairs. Temari walked behind her.
"Ayame is from the mist village, huh?" thought Temari. "I wonder what kinds of tricks she has. She didn't use a single one except for that super-fast kunai attack in her last match. I wonder what she'll do…"
They reached the arena, and their match was instantly called. They both smiled.
"She uses wind attacks. That much is obvious, but she has no clue what techniques
and jutsu I have, so I have a technical advantage." Thought Ayame.
"She might have the advantage but she's careless. That much I could instantly tell from her last match. Getting worked up over getting her shoes wet? If that's all she cares about, she shouldn't even be a ninja." Thought Temari.
--
Naruto sighed. Cagalli looked at him inquiringly.
"Does this mean you want to watch your pals match now?" he asked.
"No," she replied and he now looked inquiringly at her, "I know she'll win." He shrugged.
"I guess you have faith in her abilities?" he asked.
"Uh huh." She said. "Out of the three of us, she's got the most number of jutsus all together. I'm not saying that's how she'll win. But she's strong, fast, though not as fast as me when I have to be…"
"What do you mean by that?" Naruto interrupted. "'when you have to be'…? Does that mean you don't always try your hardest?"
She laughed. Naruto felt he missed the joke. He sweat dropped.
"No you're right. I guess I don't."
--
"You're so finished!" Temari yelled at Ayame.
"Oh you think so, girl?" Ayame asked. "I'll tell you! I don't take kindly to your kind!"
"What do you mean, my kind?" she inquired, confused.
"You have the worst fashion sense EVER!" she yelled. "I've NEVER seen such a BAD
outfit in my WHOLE LIFE!!!"
"What?" Temari yelled. "At least I don't get pissed when my shoes get wet!"
"Yo!" she yelled back. "They cost A TON of money! And I couldn't exactly get the guy who wrecked them to pay me back 'CAUSE HE KINDA DIED!"
"Just fight me!" Temari was sick of squabbling with her, and almost everyone in the audience was too.
"C'mon, let's go. We have to find Katya." Cagalli dragged Naruto away from the now intense battle.
"Wind Scythe jutsu!"
"Hah! That won't work on me, girl!" she formed many lightning fast hand signs that only a few saw half of the ones she did.
"What the hell did she just do?" thought Temari. She gasped as a gigantic water shield appeared out of nowhere.
"Those were quickly done hand signs…she did 20 in less than two seconds. She's fast." thought Kakashi-sensei as he watched from the stands. "And that jutsu…I've never seen it before."
"Where did that come from?" Temari back off, trying to think of a new strategy. "That jutsu of hers'…it must take a LOT of chakra, but my Wind Scythe doesn't take much. I should be able to out-chakra her. It's risky, but she's probably got many more powerful jutsu up her sleeve, so I better be careful."
She put her plan into action.
"Wind Scythe Jutsu!" she yelled again, and another giant gust of wind shot out from where she swung her large fan. "Wind Scythe Jutsu!" she swung again, and again, Ayame blocking all of them with the same jutsu she used before.
"C'mon," Shikamaru complained as he sat by Ino and Chouji as they watched the matches, "this is so boring! That sand nin did way better when she fought me last time; this plan of hers will make her lose for sure."
"Oh, my Shikamaru!" Ino grabbed his arm. "My Shikamaru is so smart!"

Chapter 16 already, eh? That's cool, I HATE reading fics that stop at chapter 1, 2, 3 or 4 or so, it's so annoying because they don't have a story to follow up with. I love stories that when they stop, they have many more possibilities and therefore they don't stop. Yeah, that doesn't make much sense…
For the week after Christmas I won't be typing AT ALL, I'M SO SORRY BUT IT'S TRUE!!! Yeah, I won't be near a computer during the week after Christmas, so I'll try to get as many updates this week as I possibly can!
