Lotus Of The Leaf ~Book One~

Chapter 19! Chunin Challenge: Rock Lee Vs. Sasuke!

~*****~

Sasuke released my hand as we exited the stair case to join our team. We entered a great hallway. Poles lined up before us, and the light shimmered inwards. "Hey you! With the attitude!" I hear someone shout. I turn my head and deadpan again. 'Seriously, Lee?' "Hold on!"

"What do you want?" Sasuke asked, clearly agitated. I crossed my arms again and sighed.

"I want to fight!" Lee exclaimed. "Right here and right now!"

"You wanna fight me here and now, huh?" Sasuke quipped, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes!" Lee replied, jumping down. He stood up and jut his thumb towards himself. "My name is Rock Lee. You said it was common courtesy for a challenger to give his own name first, right? Sasuke Uchiha?"

I roll my eyes. "Hmm. So you know me." Sasuke hummed. Lee got into a fighting stance.

"I challenge you!" Lee declared. "Everyone is always talking about the Uchiha Clan and how great they are! I want to see if it is true! I figured you would be a good test for me!" Lee stated, then turning his gaze on me. "And also...." His cheeks turned bright red as I sighed. "Oh my lotus...." He sighed out. "I love you!"

Sakura screamed in mortal terror for me as I just sunk downwards, hating this attention. "Those eyebrows can't be real! NOOOOO!" She continued. "Your hair style is horrible too! You're such a weirdo! Poor Ren!"

"She is an angel, sent from heaven!" Lee exclaimed, winking and sending imaginary hearts towards me. I sighed as it smacked my cheek and fell limp towards the ground. "It seems to be ineffective, but lets see these fail!" He started winking and sending more and more hearts towards me as Sakura screamed in pure terror again. Sasuke and Naruto were engulfed in the rage of fire. They all just fell to the ground as I stood my ground, eyebrow twitching in annoyance. Sakura raised her fist. "She's gonna have to shower for a week now!"

"You do not have to be so negative, Sakura." Lee hummed.

"You've heard of the Uchiha Clan, and you're challenging me?" Sasuke asked, his eyes depicting pure rage. "You must be even more psycho than you look... if that's possible. You wanna know more about my clan? Then I'll teach you. The hard way!"

"Bring it on." Lee said confidently. I sighed once again, hating the odds of this fight. Sasuke was a great fight, yeah, but Lee was an even greater fighter with speed to match.

"HOLD ON!" I flinch a little as Naruto screeches. "I get him first! This weirdo is mine!" Naruto shouted.

"Go for it." Sasuke droned.

"Naruto, I'd seriously reconsid-" I was cut off.

"What, it'll take me two minutes to have this guy begging for mercy!"

"No thank you. Right now, the only one I want to fight is Uchiha." Lee replied calmly.

"Yeah? Well I got news for you!" Naruto shouted, running towards him. "Sasuke can't compare to me! Believe it!"

It was over in two seconds. Lee used his Leaf Whirlwind, sending Naruto crashing into the wall. "Just accept the challenge, Sasuke. He won't quit until he's gotten what he wants." I state besides Sasuke.

A smirk wiped over his face. "This'll be fun. Maybe you could learn a thing or two, Ren." Sasuke quipped. I stamped my foot on the ground and huffed in annoyance. Sasuke started towards Lee. Before Sasuke could even land a punch, Lee disappeared and reappeared behind him. "Leaf Hurricane!" He shouted. He kicked Sasuke in the mouth as he tried to block.

"Sasuke!" Sakura shouted.

A smile slipped onto Sasuke's face. "I've been waiting to try this out." Sasuke hummed, his eyes turning crimson red. I felt a flush crawl up my neck again as I stared at him. I could never get used to how cool he looked. I shook my head as I tried to stop those thought. Sasuke went for it again, but I knew his Sharingan wouldn't stop Lee's speed.
