Recap

~This is odd.. Should I be scared?~ "Are we there yet?" I asked. "Almost Enigma-chan," Lee said as he ran with me in his arms. I pressed my face to his chest. ~Oh chiz, he smells good! Not... That I... Smelled him.... Potatoes._.~ we were finally out of the forest. Lee set me down and guided me somewhere. He took off my blindfold and I gasped..

"Oh Lee, did you do this?" I asked in awe. He nodded, blushing like a tomato. ((I'm no good with "romantic settings". My sense of romance is waaaay different sooo forgive me if this sucks)) There was a small table with candles on the sides and a rose in the center. It was dark out, but the moon was full and bright and there were thousands of stars out. "I love it!" I said. "I'm glad you do. Please sit." Lee said as he pulled out a chair for me. ~How sweet~ "Thanks" I said as I sat down. "I'll be right back." Lee said, flashing me a grin. ~Where's he going,~

I waited for a while and Lee soon came back. In his hands, was a tray with a lid on top. He pulled off the lid and I smiled. "For tonight's dinner, I've selected some of your favorite foods. We have some sushi an the finest instant ramen in the village!" he said as he put the sushi and cup of noodles in front of me. I giggled. He sat down across from me and gestured for me to eat. I took a bite of a sushi roll. <3 <3 "This is amazing! Where'd you get it?" I asked as I took another bite. Lee blushed," I made it. D-do you really like it?" I nodded gleefully. "That makes me happy Enigma-chan.." We ate in silence for a few more minutes. Lee broke the silence," so tell me about yourself. What kinds of things do you like?" I thought for a moment. ~Holy flubber-waffles! What the hell do I like?! Damn you sushi for distracting meeee!!!~ "Um, I like to listen to music, draw, read, write, playing instruments, hanging out with my friends.. Umm, I like fighting and weapons too" I said in a rush," what about you?" "I like training, curry, being youthful, training, the color green, spreading the power of youth, and um.. You." he said the last part quietly. I blushed ~He likes me? Do I like him? What do I do??? Aaaaaaaaah!!!!~ Lee looked down and spoke quietly,"I really do like you. I'm really happy that you gave me the chance to take you out. I know that I'm a bit odd.. So I need to know, why did you agree to come with me?"

~Why would he ask me that?~ Then I remembered how everyone treats him and how people act around him. "The reason I agreed to come with you is because you seem like a really nice guy. I don't judge people on their appearances or popularity. I judge people based on their actions and their character. I feel like you'd be a good person to be around.." I said honestly. Lee's face lit up.

Lee insisted on walking me home and I let him. Right when we reached the gate of the Uchiha compound, Lee started to turn bright red and looked nervous. "Are you ok?" I asked. "C-c-can I ask you s-something?" Lee choked out. "Sure, what's up?" He stopped walking and took my hand in his. "Would you be my girlfriend?" he asked quickly. I blushed and nodded. "I'd like that" I said, not being able to look at him. "R-really?" he asked happily. I nodded and he hugged me. "Thank you!" he cheered.

We continued walking. Somewhere along the way, we ended up holding hands. I didn't mind.

We reached my house. "Thank you for taking me out tonight. I honestly had a lot of fun with you." I said. "I-I was happy to take you out. W-we should do it again soon. G-good night Enigma." Lee said, blushing again. "Good night Lee." I said. I was about to go to the door, but I hesitated. ~Come on Enigma!! Grow a pair of lady balls!! Do it you fool!!!!~ I leaned in and kissed Lee on the cheek. He instantly blushed bright red and fainted. "Lee!!" I yelped. "Oh no!! My youthful student!!" a voice yelled from a nearby tree. I looked up and saw Gai running to an unconscious Lee. "Gai?!! Were you following us?!!" I yelled. "No no! Of course not! Well.. Only after you two came into the compound.." Gai said as he fiddled around with his vest. "Gai!!!" I yelled as I kicked his shin. "Owwwwie!!!" he cried. "Help Lee!" I yelled. Gai reached down and threw Lee over his shoulder. "I'll see you tomorrow, my youthful butterfly!" I shuddered and went inside.
