To all the wonderful people who left me all the great reviews:
I thank you for your support and your patience. I will now continue with the story, as scheduled.
Disclaimer: I only own me, and I have permission to place my advisor in the story.
--Chapter 4: Another Art Jump?—
Lee was unfortunate enough to land on his head. (A/N: Right on his bad haircut!! X3)
And he was even more unfortunate to have Kiba land on top of him.
Kiba sat up, and was trying to locate his faithful pet, Akamaru.
"Het toffee."
Kiba looked down and noticed that his current teammate was under him.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to do that."
Before Lee could respond, a loud yell, followed by a series of karate noises, came hurtling towards them.
Ripping off his shirt in a blaze of ninja glory, Abyo had once again decided of his own accord that it was now time to spar, and Lee and Kiba were right in his sights.
"Hmm. Never seen you two around before. Wanna spar?"
Lee mumbled to Kiba, "I will hold him off; you go and find the others."
Kiba nodded in agreement, and disappeared.

Meanwhile, in another neck of the woods, Sakura and Temari were trying to locate Lee and Kiba.
"This doesn't look good, there's no sign of them anywhere."
Temari silently agreed.
Sakura caught a sound to their left. "Temari! Watch out!"
The sand ninja moved just in time to miss Pucca and Ring Ring come hurtling past them, in the middle of one of the fights Ring Ring started, out of sheer jealousy.
Temari was getting a little agitated. "What is with those two?"
Ring Ring wasn't listening. "I'm the prettiest girl in Sooga! I'm prettier than Pucca, and I'm definitely prettier than that weird blonde girl over there."
Now, Temari is not one to really care about appearances, but, that was going too far.
"Ex- cuse me?" Temari whipped out her fan and bitch-slapped Ring Ring with some of her Wind Scythe Jutsu.
"No one does that to me and gets away with it!" Temari was set for war, and Sakura was simply an unwilling accomplice.

Meanwhile, back to Lee, who was in a stare down with Abyo.
"Just who are you anyway?" Abyo asked.
"I am the handsome beast of Kohona, my name is Rock Lee."
"Well, Mr. Handsome Devil, prepare to get your butt whooped! HIIII-YAAAAHHH!!"
And the two leapt into battle.
SF15: That's all for now. Please read and review, and expect more regular updates. I will try to fit them in between sleep, work (Graveyard shift) and my school work for college. :) Thank you for your cooperation.
