Chapter 18 - A Christmas tree

"Come on, my dear friends! Isn't this a wonderful day?"

The positive boy was met with nothing but glares and mumbling as they kep moving further into the forest.

"So what do you think?" Lee continiued, not taking notice to the others lack of entusiasm. "Where should we go now?"

"It doesn't matter now, does it?" The Inuzuka boy complained. He had been forced out of his bed before dawn that morning, only to learn that his jumpsuits wearing friend had volunteered some guys, including himself, to go out and butcher a tree. "Don't this one look good enough?" Kiba pointed at the nearest tree.

"No, no, no!" Lee protested. That tree is way to furry!"

"Furry?" Neji, who had stayed quiet the whole journey, raised an eyebrow. "How can a three be classified as 'furry'. No," he added, as he saw his teammate open his mouth, "I do not wish for an explanation. All I wish for is to get a tree so that I can get home to my duties. Not everyone had the time to run around in the forest to look for an unimportant tree."

"Unim-!" The hard working genius lost his words. Never in his life had he heard something that horrible.

"Yes," the Hyuuga repeated, a wicked smile on his face. "A tree itself would be just fine, but the fact that we have been running through this forest for an hour now; that is the definition of unnecessary work."

"You're wrong, Neji!" Lee's voice was dead serious. "A Christmas tree is what bring everyone together. Friends, family. Without a tree they won't gather, they won't sing or exchange gifts. Without the tree, there won't be Christmas. Don't you agree, Kiba? Isn't a Christmas tree the sole and most important symbol of the holidays?"

"Well, I-"

"And if you see the tree as the symbol of your friendship, shouldn't you try to find a tree worthy of the friendship that you're trying to express?"

Kiba had suddenly a feeling of being glared at from both sides. Whatever side he took would make one in the group not pleased with him. This is how Tenten must feel, he thought with a sigh. That poor girl really deserved more credit that she got for being able to stay sane in between these two guys.

"I guess the tree is important in some way," He started, and as the words left his tongue, he could feel the stinging gaze of the Hyuuga. "but," he hurried to add, "I think that the most important time is to spend the hollidays with tose people, and that you have good times with them, and not bad ones. I think that the others will be happy whatever three we bring home, as long as we can be there with them to share the events."

The two of them had to come to a sudden halt not to crash into Lee. Without a warning, he was stopped, and looked into thin air.

"Lee?" The Inuzuka asked.

"You..." He paused as he swallowed. "You're right, Kiba. You really are." He turned and focused his eyes on the boys. "Let's get the best tree we can see, and then, let's return with it to the village!"

Together, the boys looked around them. there were many trees to choose between, but after half an hour, they had finally picked out a nice, green tree.

"You did remember to bring an ax, didn't you?" Neji asked as he looked at the little equipment his teammate had brought with him.

For a moment the Konoha's beautiful, green, wild beast looked terrified. Then, he back away from the tree.

"Lee..." The Hyuuga seemed to sense the danger. "Don't tell me that-"

Before he could finish the sentence, Lee launched out against the tree with a forceful power.

"AAAAAH!"

His fist hit the trunk of the tree, and the tree wavered a short moment, before falling to the ground with a loud thud.

"... Great" The comment was dry, but Neji still seemed to be pleased by the quick execution. "Let us get it home."
