Chapter 3 – Anger
(To the training grounds…)
"Lee, you are doing well, like always, you have plenty of youthfulness! You should take a break, while I go to a meeting with all the other Jounins! It should give you much more coolness!" Gai said, doing his all famous pose.
"Thank you very much Gai-sensei!" Lee said, a river coming from his eyes.
Gai was off, and Lee sat at the base of a tree where he took his time off.
I wonder where my youthful friends are today, Neji is never late. And my youthful flower, Tenten, is usually late, but she is never this far behind schedule! Where are they!?
Lee had just finished his thought, when he saw two figures walking towards him.
"Yosh! Hello, my glorious team-mates!"
He had no response. He felt a shiver go down his spine. The tension in the air had become thick and heavy. Suddenly, the two of them charged themselves at Lee, both of them holding opposite sides of Lee's green spandex suit.
"AHHHHHH! What is it today, that you two would like to talk about? You seem very determined! Maybe, the fact is that you missed the first half of our training session! Where were you?!"
"SHUT UP!"
The two of them didn't seem very happy. Not happy at all. They were so annoyed that they only thought that they were the only one shouting at Lee (A/N: If you're confused, here's a brief summary :- Neji is so angry that he doesn't realise that Tenten is also there and vice-versa).
Lee trembled at the volume of their voices. He had never experienced them like this. So he wasn't in luck, and hadn't a clue what was going to happen to him.
"WHY DID YOU SPREAD RUMOURS ABOUT ME AND NOT TELL ME!" shouted the two in unison.
"Oh." was Lee's reply.
"OH? THAT'S ALL YOU CAN SAY?"
"THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS! YOU'RE GONNA DIE HERE AND NOW!"
Lee was terrified. He was scared out of his wits. He couldn't call anyone for help, not even Gai-sensei.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I am too YOUTHFUL to die! Please spare me!"
"SPARE YOU! NO WAY! YOU DESERVE TO DIE! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH EMBARASSMENT I'VE HAD TO GO THROUGH!"
"Please, I can stand a single beating, but a DOUBLE, I'd DIE FOR SURE!"
"Double? Huh? I thought… ARRRGGGHHH!"
The two finally, realised that the pair of them were there.
Unfortunately, they weren't alone, they had gathered the attention of nearly everyone in Konoha. Their eyes were staring at all three students of Gai. They didn't know what to think, fear, anger (for Neji and Tenten), or just to laugh. They just stared, eager to know what was going to happen next.
Why didn't I notice her? As a Hyuuga, I am disappointed and embarrassed. Everyone in Konoha knows! Crap, now what am I gonna do? I know, kill Lee!
Ugh! Why?! This is so embarrassing! My pride as a kunoichi is ruined, well what's left of it! Who cares about Neji, Lee's still gonna die!
"WAIT! Before you do, I want to announce my amazing reason for my behaviour," Lee began. "Me and Gai-sensei were spying on you, because for a long time, we have saw the power of love bloom between you two. We heard you that you, Neji asked Tenten to walk home with her. So we just assumed that you were dating. And it wasn't all my fault either! Gai asked me to spread it around! I, as a very faithful student, obeyed him. Also, you should admit that you two look very cute together!"
Both of them cut out of their dazes and blushed a bright red, but stopped, when they knew they were watched. The reason they were given disgusted them.
"LEEEEEEEEEE, YOU IDIOT! SHE WAS TIRED! WOULDN'T YOU DO THE SAME THING!" Neji responded.
"WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO SPREAD THINGS! YOU HAVE YOUR OWN WILL LEE! YOU OBEY GAI-SENSEI'S WISHES, BUT NOT OURS! WE ARE NOT DATING! YOU SHOULD HAVE COME TO US FIRST! YOU ARE MAKING US EVEN MORE ANGRIER THAN WE WERE!" replied the weapon mistress, annoyed with the lame excuse she was given.
"But… but…" was all Lee could say.
"NO BUTS LEE! YOU DISOBEYED US! YOU ARE IN FOR IT NOW!" the two said in unison.
Tenten, was now determined to kill Lee, with anybody's help and at any cost.
Ok, I know I can't do this by myself, so despite what happened last night, I'm gonna have to ask Neji for his help.
She swallowed hard and continued to lean closer to Neji's ear.
Neji suddenly noticed this, and backed away. Tenten was surprised but it was obvious that it was going to happen, since they were not talking.
She lowered her voice to make sure no-one else could hear.
"Psssssssst! Neji, I know we're not on good terms but, the only we can beat Lee is that we team up. So, am I forgiven just this once?" whispered the kunoichi.
Now she wants me to team up with her?! Who does she think she is? I AM NOT GOING TO FORGIVE HER THAT EASLIY! She rejected me! If she wants to defeat Lee, she can do it by herself! Hmph!
"Lemme think, NO."
"Oh, thank you, thank y… WHAT?! NO?! WHY?!" shouted Tenten, grabbing the attention of the whole crowd.
"Cos… you REJECTED ME!" Neji said, giving more gossip to the audience.
"OH MY GOSH! NEJI GOT REJECTED?! WOW, TODAY REALLY IS FULL OF GOSSIP!" said a familiar voice.
They both turned to a blonde-haired, high-pony-tailed woman, which everyone knew as Ino Yamanaka. Everybody moved away from her, as the glares she was receiving were filled with a tense and thick emotion – anger.
"HEY, INO, IF YOU WANT I CAN FORGET ABOUT LEE AND BATTER YOU INSTEAD! IT WILL BE LIKE CHRISTMAS COME EARLY!" Tenten's shouted with full of rage.
Lee sighed with relief, thinking that his life was spared.
"YOU KNOW WHAT, INO? I THINK YOU DESERVE A DOUBLE BEATING TOO! I CAN BEAT BOTH OF YOU IN ONE GO, ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M LIKE THIS!" Neji said, as he joined in.
The youthful student was once again sweating like a donkey in a sauna.
"ARRGGGHH! FORGET WHAT I SAID! PLEASE DON'T BATTER ME! I'M NOT WORTH IT! LEE IS TO BLAME BECAUSE IF HE DID NOT SPREAD THE RUMOUR NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE STARTED!" Ino cried in fear, feeling a little bit relieved.
"YOU KNOW WHAT! SHE'S RIGHT! LEE DESERVES EVEN MORE BUTT-WHOOPING!" Tenten yelled.
She turned round to Lee, to show a very evil grin. To make things worse, Neji turned round, but with an gruesome Byakugan, staring at him right in the face. Lee never liked these faces, and never had or will, because he knew it meant something very bad, like a painful battering.
"OK LEE! I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR LATE BIRTHDAY PRESENT!" the Hyuuga prodigy shouted as he was preparing his Gentle Fist fighting style.
Lee squealed and cried with streams coming down his face. He knew he would barely survive this, if he did, it would be a miracle.
"HEY LEE, TIME FOR YOUR THREE COURSE MEAL!" said the kunoichi as she revealed her weapons.
"WHY ME?!"
"YOUR STARTER MEAL – A SERIES OF KUNAIS, SHURIKENS, KATANAS, AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN HURT!"
Lee was speechless, he knew that Tenten's aim was accurate, and at a time like this, deadly accurate!
He shut his eyes, getting ready for his punishment.
She threw her weapons with ease, with her anger. Her plan was simple – to pin him to the tree, making sure he couldn't get free. At once, the sharp objects flew so fast, that not even a sound could be heard. They were just a blur to the human eye. But a certain someone, watched carefully with his kekkai-genkai, guessing her plan, and was ready for a piece of the action.
"HYAHH!"
The green clothed shinobi, opened his eyes to reveal he was stuck to the very tree he was sitting at. He didn't feel any pain, but he knew something was up. He tried to move him arm, but failed.
Huh? What has she done?! I can't move my arms! Am I now into my next life? Am I paralyzed! AM I DEAD!
He looked at his body, he spotted his suit, but something was sticking out of his sides. A kunai. A shuriken. And many more metal objects. NO! SHE STUCK ME TO THE TREE!
It was useless, he couldn't get free.
"Lee, you know I think you should get extra, because you've been a very, very naughty boy!" Tenten grinned.
She decided to give him a series of punches and kicks, and used him like a little doll. She used swift power, which looked fast and easy, but hurt hard. He would still survive but would look like a pulp. He wasn't able to make any sudden movements, any surprise attacks, or anything else for that matter.
Afterwards, he had a very overly-exaggerated swollen face, red all over and anyone could tell he was in a lot of pain.
"I think I should one more thing!" said the giggling kunoichi.
She got her hands ready and aimed it at his most valuable thing on his head – his HAIR!
"You should get a new haircut Lee, I've got a perfect idea!"
Tenten grabbed his peculiar bob, and moved her hands in all directions. This way, that way, everywhere. Lee couldn't move but the audience could see that he was very, VERY upset.
His hair was like a porcupine, and didn't look very easy to fix, especially after his 'new haircut'.
There were some 'awwws' from the watchers, but Tenten didn't care, her reputation was ruined. He deserved it.
"NOW LEE! TIME FOR THE MAIN MEAL! – THE HOUSE SPECIAL – MY EIGHT TRIGRAMS SIXTY-FOUR PALMS!" the genius said, with a smirk on his face.
Tenten was relieved that Neji got what she was planning. Even though he hadn't agreed, he carried on her instructions. Even though they said nothing of it. The years of training had paid off.
"GET READY LEE!"
"I'M NOT READY! PLEASE NEJI, NOT THAT MOVE! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!" Lee cried, with the last piece of strength he had.
The green ying-yang circle made its entrance – after a few hand signs – and Lee knew he was in the distance needed. He was going to die for sure. He shut his eyes tight, ready for his fate.
Neji was just about to charge at Lee just before something stopped his path.
Ok, this is taking too long now! What is taking him so long?! WAIT! Maybe I'm already dead! I'd better open my eyes, to see the glorious place where I have been taken!
"Gai… sen… sai…" were his last words before he drifted off, into the world of unconsciousness.
"WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR LEE! IT HAS LOST IT'S SHINE!" Gai complained. "EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT IS THE BLAME FOR THIS TERRIBLE INCIDENT!"
A/N: Sorry! I was messing about so the writing looks a big mess! I hope you can still read it! If I have time I'll rewrite it again so it looks better, but until then, you're going to have to stick to this!
Remember – if you want the next chapter you better R&R!
Thank you!
