Chapter 3
Neji felt like dying ...
No he was dying as he was laying on the ground, arms and legs spread out .
' Yosh ! Your first time was perfect ! I declare you as my ... ' Lee did a dramatic spin as he pointed at Neji .' Rival ! '
Neji wanted to hit him .
' Yosh Lee ! You finally have a rival ! ' Screamed a man who could be Lee's father, but surprisly for Neji none of them were related .' Gai-sensei ! ' Lee teared up as did the man .' Lee ! '
They hugged each other as they cried .' You finally did it Lee ! '
' Yes Gai-sensei ! '
Other people who walked by hardly even looked at them, Neji wanted to go home .' Can I go now ? '
' Wow so cool ! ' Gai-sensei screamed as he almost fell over, like Neji made a ninja move just now . ' Lee I realize something ...' Gai put a thinking thought on his face .' What is it Gai-sensei ! '
How many times are you two going to say each others names like ... Stop it okay ... Neji tried to get up but his body refused .
' Your rival is too cool ! He is so cool he don't bother to get up ! '
My body hurts maybe ? Neji tried again but his body was like nope bitch .
' And you have yet to defeat him battle, like what I and Kakashi do ! '
' Oh yes your battle of challenges ! ' Gai nodded yes as he smiled .' Yes my winning streak is ...'
' 49 and Kakashi-sensei 52 right, don't worry Gai-sensei you can beat him ! '
Gai went on his knees as despair took over, as he almost cried manly tears .' Damn you Kakashi, you and empty pit of a stomach ! '
Neji give Lee a look as Lee walked to him .' Sorry many people say I am too rough on their first try .' Lee smiled and helped Neji up, who whines of the pain .' There is a onsen nearby, if you want we go there okay .' Lee smiled so relaxed Neji almost .. Almost forgot the hell he went through .
' Who is Kakashi .. Sensei ? '
' Gai-sensei's rival since childhood ! They were both at 48, Gai-sensei won the last race but then Kakashi-sensei won the mountain climbing with one hand, the sushi eating contest and of course ...'
' No no Lee don't mention the last one please ! ' Gai-sensei wailed now Neji pittied him .' The cosplay neko custom contest ! Oh for girls of course ! '
Neji looked with a low face at Gai, who wailed harder .' Lee ! '
' W-what ? ' Lee looked confused .
Neji almost laughed ... Almost ..
' Is that a smile that I see .' Lee smiled at Neji who stared at his with wide eyes .
And then blushed hard as he looked away .' No way ! '
Really ? No way .. What am I a child ... Why is my heart beating fast ...
' I have to go home now ...'
' I walk you home ! Bye Gai-sensei .'
Gai waved with a depressed look as both boys walked off .' What that okay what you did back there ? '
' I don't know what you mean .'
' Nevermind then .'
Both were silent as they walked to the house, Neji's body hurt so much he just wanna lay and not move at all .
' How long is your stay ? '
' 2 months ... '
' Really wow ! '
' Yeah we are here for a wedding .'
' Oh yeah .. Of Sasuke's father right .'
' Yeah ...' Neji wonders if Lee will be there too .' Will you also be there ?'
' Me ? No no ! I am not invited ! '
' Oh well ... I thought you are Naruto's friend so makes you Sasuke's friend too .. Right ? '
Lee smiled a bit but said nothing, Neji found that weird for someone like Lee .
' Look we are already here ! ' He suddenly said as he moved his arms up and down .
Neji looked completely confused and his mouth fell open .' Going back is faster then going because you move away from your comfort zone .'
Neji looked at Lee as he gave a thumbs up at him .' Good job ! '
' Neji is that you son ? You are alive ! ' Hizashi screamed with tears in his eyes as he went and hugged Neji .' Brother my lost son is back ! '
' Stop being dramatic ! ' Hiashi screamed back .' Dad ...' Hizashi still holds Neji tight .' Can't breath .'
' Don't worry I do that for you .' Hizashi said but Neji with all his might pushed him off . ' You crazy old man ! ' He then screamed and walked off .' Bye Neji ! '
' Yeah ... Bye Lee .' Lee smiled as he turned away but Hizashi stopped him, making Neji narrow his eyes at him .
' Who might you be ? '
' Rock Lee sir ! I and Neji and Gai-sensei went for a run and I walked him back home ! '
Hizashi was quiet making Lee bit nervous but then he smiled .' Come on eat breakfast with us ! '
' Thank you sir ! '
Neji watched in silence as his father took Lee inside the house .
Hanabi walked to him .' What just happened ? '
' Your dad accepted your future husband .' Hanabi smirked .
Neji hit her hand before getting inside himself, with a whining angry looking Hanabi after him .
