~Teams~

~{Takemi's POV}~

After a few years in the Academy, it was time to be assigned to teams i had fun times in the academy made friends learned things i even watch my brother kiss Naruto on accident i didn't let him live that down it took awhile to be assigned to teams i sat next to Sasuke with my head down on the desk while he looked out the window suddenly a man wearing all green came in walking on his arms he got up and smiled big, i watched from my seat smiling as Lees face lit up with excitement it was the most adorable thing. The man stood by Iruka sensei as he stated that he was here for team 3 "the following names come with me" he said i listened closely i was hoping to be on a team with Lee or Naruto i wanted to avoid being on a team with my brother as he said it would cause problems "TenTen, Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee" my head hung low as i heard i wouldn't be on the same team as Lee and Lee looked sad as well Naruto patted my back "and Takemi Uchiha" Both our faces lit up with excitement i jumped up and went to the front and hugged Lee "Can you believe it Lee? We're on the same team!"  i hugged him as his face burnt up "Team 3 follow me" the man said and we did as told.

{Lees POV}

Takemi was right, i could not believe it we were on the same team and a team of 4 how unusual ever since the day i met her my feelings for her grew and grew as we watched each other grow and change she wasn't that lonely little girl in the asylum anymore she's strong and confident she wears her shiny dark hair in pigtails and changed her wardrobe too i really like her  but... i feel there is a word bigger than that i just don't know what that is yet "My Name is Might Guy and i will be your sensei with me, i will shape you 4 to be splendid Shinobi with the power of youthfulness"  the more Guy Sensei spoke the more inspired i was "You Uchiha girl what's your name and goal you want to achieve" he points to Takemi who was staring off into space not really paying attention "hm?- oh my name is Takemi Uchiha and my goal is to surpass my brothers and kill a certain someone" she smiled sending shivers down all our spines "i don't think you should smile while saying something like that" Neji says with his usual serious tone "i agree" TenTen says Takemi shrugs it off and goes back to staring at the clouds i wonder what's on her mind when she spaces out like that its very intriguing  "you, Lee was it? What's your goal?" he pointed at me, "My goal is to become a splendid Shinobi even tho i cannot use Ninjutsu!" i say clenching my fist the look on his face looked as if a spark has lit in it and he smiled bigger than ever Guy sensei was the coolest and one day im gonna surpass him.

~{Time Skip Takemi POV}~

  It's been months since we were assigned to team 3 I've really bonded with guy sensei and my teammates Guy sensei rewarded us with some jumpsuits which honestly i was not gonna wear anything without an Uchiha crest on it, but Lee on the other hand got one and never took it off honestly it looked good on him, it was tight and showed every feature of him and i always did have a love for the color green he even cut his hair i swear everyday he looks more and more like guy sensei at this point they could be father and son, i often spent my days training by myself humming little songs i made up and sometimes I'd spar with Sasuke or just sit around and watch Lee train when Lee trained i wouldn't let myself be seen i don't wanna break his focus when Lee trained he trained hard i often heard him push himself saying 'if i cant do 100 laps around the village then i will do 200 one arm push-ups and if i can't do that ill do 300 kicks' i admired his strength and drive he would often train with guy sensei and his crazy exercises honestly i rather not join them in that.

~{Lees POV}~

Today i broke something again while training, i broke my leg practicing leaf hurricane and ended up in the hospital and like every time Takemi visited me and kept me company every time i see her she's changed in some way i wonder....what's this strong feeling i feel when im around her, she makes me feel so warm "Lee your spacing out" she says raising her eyebrow she must have realized i wasn't listening to her lecturing me on pushing myself too hard i shake my head quickly "what were you thinking about?" she asks "well you space out a lot too so i wanted to see how it felt" i quickly come up with an excuse she then smiles and sits on my hospital bed "well you wanna know something?" she says holding her finger up "when i 'space out' im not really thinking about anything im talking" she says it made me confused talking? Who  is she talking to? She must have seen the confusion on my face because she answered "there's a voice in my head, im not sure who or what it is but they sure talk a lot"  i don't get really what she ment by voice in her head but maybe... "Maybe it's your conscience" she looked confused "you know, the voice telling you what's good and bad?" i say trying to make sense of things, she nodded her head in agreement.

Soon i was discharged from the hospital and i went straight to find Guy Sensei when i found him he was arm westleing with Kakashi Sensei "Ah well hello there Lee out of the hospital is there something you needed?" he asked his attention on Kakashis arm he lost sadly he then turned his attention to me, i sat down next to him my face turning red "So there's this person" i refrained from being specific "who I've known since before she started the academy I've always been so fascinated in everything she does the way she talks, thinks, fights everything she does is simply amazing but as we got older lately I've been noticing other things her smile, her laugh, they way her hair blows in the wind, they way she dresses and now i think im more than fascinated in her when im around her my stomach gets tight my face heats up and i can't stop sweating its like i loose all my cool it drives me crazy" i grab my head to keep it from spinning "Guy Sensei do you what's wrong with me" i looked at guy sensei his eyes were tearing up, and his hands were covering his mouth "Ahhw Lee ive been waiting so long for you to ask me this I've seen the way you look at Sakura your in love Lee" my eyebrows furrow as i look at Guy Sensei as he makes a false accusation "Guy Sensei i don't have feelings for Sakura I LOVE TAKEMI!" i yell but i then realize "i love Takemi..." i look down at my hands my eyes widen "Ah Takemi Uchiha well she certainly is a strong girl scary one in my opinion you would definitely have to step your game to win that type of girl but you know what Lee? Love is strength and to get to her, you have to be strong and get through Sasuke of course" What Guy Sensei said had me thinking for a moment i never really talked to Sasuke before and i have no idea how strong he is but anything for Takemi i then stood up with my hands on my hips "I Gotta go train and during the exams i will beat Sasuke" i dashed off to the training field ready to train to the max.
