The next chapter will be from the perspective of Rock Lee. This takes place from Naruto's offering to join the Knights until the club.

Rock Lee returned home and and went stright to his room, which was located to the right of the front door. He threw his bookbag next to his bed. Lee sat down on the floor and leaned his back on the bed. His room was relativly small. A window was over his pillow at the edge of the bed. A small breeze swept through it, sending the curtins fluttering. He had posters of men in maritial arts poses on his wall. The television lay on an overstuffed dresser with clothes poking out of their drawers.

Situated next to the TV was a EntertainmentStation 3. A copy of Urban Fighter 4 was turned upside on top of the ES3. He had a bookstand with the complete series of Wild Racers in manga chapter books.

Lee thought back on the day and tried to to understand Naruto's reason for acting strange. His thoughts then turned to Sakura. He thought about how good she looked to day in school. Lee stopped his thoughts when he realised he was thinking about his best friends girl.

Maybe I should play UF4? he thought while turning his system on and grabbing the controller. When the title screen appeared his phone lit up. He picked it up saw the caller I.D. 'NARUTO' and answered it. "Hello?" he said. Naruto's voice sounded tired "Lee? You won't believe what happened to me." Lee guessed, "You decided to call me instead of text?" "No. Shikamaru is in a gang. The Knights. They're pretty large." he said. "And I must know this because?"

"He asked ME to join. Why? I have no idea. But, he seemed convincing. What should I say?" Lee dropped the controller and shot up in the air "NO! You should say no! Why would you even comtemplate it?" Lee stared intensly at the poster of a kid in a kicking pose. "Congrates on the vocabulary, but no, I don't know why I wolud think about it. Damn Shikamaru! He's so fucking CONVINCING!"

Lee sat back down. "Where are you now?" he asked. "Ichiraku's"

"Wait, how are calling me? You don't have a phone." Naruto said "Ichiraku's daughter lended me her phone ... and now she's giving me an angry eye. Gotta go. See ya later. Oh, and Ino told me that someone at school likes you." "Hold up. Ho-hows Sakura?" Naruto trailed out a "Fine" before hanging up.

Lee put down the phone and looked back at the TV. "YOU LOSE!" was on the screen in big, blue letters.

(Time Skip)

Lee walked in to fourth period history and sat in the back right of the class. He already has an 'A in history so he figured he draw during today's class. He looked at the front of the class and saw Sakura enter. She looked around saw him. She gave a samll wave before sitting next to Ino. The bell rung and the last group of students ran in hoping the teacher did not notice. The teacher turned and spoke "Oka, good afternoon students. We have a little busy day today. We are starting our projects today." The class groaned and began screaming objections. "Since I knew you were going to react that way, I've already assigned partners." The class roared in disapproval. He started saying names when he got to Lee's.

"Lee and-" Noo he thought. "Sa-" No, no, no. "-kura" SSHHIITT!

Sakura looked at Lee before gathering her things at standing up. As she walked, Lee was hypnotised by her walked. The way her hips swayed and how her legs stepped evenly in front of each other. She reminded him of a runway model. She sat down next to the left of him. He smelled her perfume and lotion. He tried to look at her but did'nt want to look like a creep.

A couple of minutes passed and they have yet to say one word to each other. Partial because the teacher was explaining the project. I wish he'd hurry up. I can't stand this quietness for to long. he thought. Why do I have to be here? Right Now. In this seat. Next to her. Why could'nt I be in gym? Or Physics? Or anywhere but here. Feels like my head is going to explode! "Lee?"

He looked at her. "I said who should we research, the Third Hokage or the Fourth?" He stared blantly at her before answering. "Th-Third?" She looked at him and then said "Alright" while flipping the pages in her text book. She spoke to me. Me? ... She loves me! Loves me! Ahh you got another one Rocky. "Sasuke!" Lee looked up and saw Uchiha Sasuke walked through the door ... and that he seemed further away from Sakura then before. Did she leave? No, nope, she pushed my seat over. "Ahem, Mr. Uchiha. Tardy pass?" the teacher said while holding his hand out, palm up.

Sasuke said "I don't have one." "Well go get one." responded the teacher and Sasuke left. Lee felt himself being pulled over by Sakura. "How dare he talk to Sasuke like that! Sasuke." Lee looked over at her. "False alarm. Yeah you did it Rocky."

As the class period came to a close, Lee found himself more comertible around Sakura. They shared small jokes with each other. The bell rung and Saskura asked for Lee's phome numer. Shocked, he asked what for. "The project" she said. He reminded to do one thousand push ups for that stupid question.

(Time Skip)

Lee found himself more around Sakura over the next two weeks. Mainly because of the class project. He billed up the nerve to ask her to go out to a club on Saturday. To his surprise she said yes.

Today was Saturday

He sprinted to Sakura's house and waited on by the door for a short while before she was ready. She told him that this was not a date and he agreed. They walked to the club and talked all the way there, about school and celebrities (on Sakura's part). It was night and they finally reached the club. Sakura spotted all the people outside and said "Look at all these people. It should be packed in there. I heard this place is property of those Knights. Stupid idiots tryin to ruin the neighborhood. Do you think something might happen in there?" "Naw, I don't think so. We should be good." Lee replied.

They entered and Lee went straight to the dancefloor. He danced with random ladies who, out of being good moods, danced with him despite his untalentlness. Sakura spotted this and cheered him on. He signled her to come over. She did just that and they danced with each other. They were having a great time until Lee was pushed to the ground.

Uh-oh
