chapter 14

(3rd p.o.v)

The medics moved over to Guy, gently setting Lee down and checking his injuries. After a moment, one of them looked up at Guy in shock.

"You're his teacher aren't you?" the medic questioned.

"I am," Guy nodded voice hoarse. "What is it?"

"Will you...come with me?" the medic questioned standing then leading Guy to an empty corner of the room where they wouldn't be overheard while the other two set Lee gently on the stretcher. "The boy's breathing is faint but stable. 

There are bone fractures and muscle tears throughout his body. He's facing a long and hard and hard rehabilitation. But I'm afraid that's not the worst of it. His left arm and leg in particular suffered major damage. I'm sorry. I know how much it means to you both, but he'll never fight again. His days of being a Shinobi are over."

The medic then bowed and turned, walking to the others and they took Lee away. Kakashi dropped to the floor and walked over to Guy.

"Guy," Kakashi began. "What I said earlier, it was out of line. I was being a self-righteous fool. I realize now, that if I'd been in your shoes, I probably couldn't have stopped him either...Come on Guy. The next match is outside."

"Right," was all Guy said.

Everyone slowly filed out of the building and Ryuu brought up the rear. Everyone else took to the trees leaving Hayate and Ryuu standing in the clearing around the building. Ryuu looked around and Hayate could only smirk.

"Be patient," Hayate smiled.

Finally, swirl of leaves appeared beside Hayate and then blew away leaving Yugao standing beside him.

"Neko-chan!" Ryuu smiled. "Of course he would pit me against you."

Yugao smiled behind her mask and nodded, drawing her sword. Ryuu decided against using a Flame Sword and instead drew his tanto, creating a Vacuum Blade over it. After a moment of silence, Yugao darted forward, slashing at Ryuu. 

He blocked her slash and shoved her sword away then slashed at her stomach. She jumped back, avoiding the slash easily then thrust her sword forward. Ryuu swept it sideways then swung at the top of her head. 

She turned sideways, the Vacuum Blade flashing through the spot she had been as her sword flashed toward Ryuu's chest. He spun around then blade and slashed at her again only for her to block it then trip him. He landed on his back then rolled out of the way of her sword standing.

"You've gotten better," Yugao noted pulling her sword out of the ground. "But you're holding back. I can take anything you can dish."

Ryuu nodded and stabbed his Vacuum Blade into the ground making hand seals.

"Fire Style, Giant Fire Ball Jutsu!" Ryuu shouted before exhaling a massive fire ball at her.

She leapt to the side, avoiding the fireball that exploded against the ground, sending smoke and dust throughout the clearing. When it cleared, Ryuu was gone, along with his sword and Vacuum Blade.

"Hayate," Yugao sighed shaking her head, voice almost a whisper so only Hayate and possibly Ryuu knew it.. "I should have known you would teach him that one."

She suddenly spun, blocking an invisible Ryuu's likewise invisible blade.

"Bet you didn't know I knew the Transparency Jutsu too huh?" Yugao muttered still being quiet as Ryuu became visible again. "You mastered it quite well, nearly as good as Hayate."
