A Real Ninja (Rock Lee X Reader) WIP

cought off guard

"So you see, I don't plan on making any more trouble for the Leaf. So its really no harm in letting me go."  He let me go and stepped away.

"Oh, even if that were so, I still need to take you back to the leaf so they can decide that." He put his hand on my shoulder in a comforting way and continued "But you should be fine! Considering the man you killed was a murderer!" He finished with a thumbs up and the brightest smile I have probably ever seen.

He went to grab my wrist. Or maybe it was my hand, either way I wasn't going to just give myself over.

I jumped back and brought out a kunai. I have to be careful. I already know how fast he is, and I sure as heck dont want to be hit by him again.

"I hope you don't think I'm going to just happily go with you just because you're cute do you!?" I said, readying myself for any more surprise attacks he might have in store for me.

"Waaaah!?" His eyes somehow rounded even more than they already were. "That is not what I was thinking at all! I swear!" He said while flailing around.

He suddenly stopped waving his limbs around and added to his previous statement while standing with his arms in the air "You think I am cute?"

"Yeah," I casually stated "even after that-" I brought my hands up and gestured to his entirety "weird display."

Me calling him weird didn't seem to detour him as his cheeks turned a pleasant shade of pink and he awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

I took his embarrassment as an opportunity to catch him off guard and threw some shuriken at him as I jumped away into a tree for cover. It's best to keep my distance until I assess his strengths.

He barely dodged my shuriken with strange twists and turns. One even cut his finger when he tried to catch it in his panic.

The blood trickled down his finger, being pulled by gravity towards the tip of his nail. The drop of red liquid fell, racing for the sweet embrace of the ground.

Falling.

"It is not nice to attack someone when they are busy being flattered." He said in a low voice from behind me.

Splat.

"What the-" His blood hit the ground with a barely noticeable thump. Followed by me hitting the ground with a very noticeable thump.
