“You! With the unpleasant look! Wait a minute!” Someone was running up behind us and I had a feeling I know who it was. I was the first to turn around, already set on telling Lee off. We do have a time limit to get there you know. 

    Naruto seemed uninterested, and Sakura panicked, placing herself behind me. “What is it?” Sasuke turned to face Lee, looking highly irritated, as usual. 

“Why don’t you fight with me here, now!” It was less of a question and more of a statement. Sighing, I turned to look at Sasuke. “We don’t have time for this.” I reminded him irritably.

”A fight here... now..?” Sasuke ignored me, per usual. 

“Yes.” Rock Lee jumped down from the floor he was on, facing Sasuke with a determined look set in his eyes. “My name is Rock Lee.” He stated, pointing to himself. “When asking someone their name you are supposed to give your own first, right? Sasuke Uchiha... I want to fight with you!” Lee got into a fighting stance and I sighed loudly just to prove a point. 

    Pushing Sakura and Naruto, I herded them away from Sasuke and Lee. With how proud and arrogant Sasuke is, I doubted he would decline.
”I want to test out how effective my techniques will be against the descendant of the clan reputed for having genius Ninja.” Lee kept going on and on. Another talker. Joy. “Also...” He turned towards Sakura, whom was still hiding behind me. “Sakura. Love.”

”Nooo!” She freaked out. “Those lower eyelashes are awful! The hairstyle is awful to! Those bushy eyebrows, just too intense! Everything just is...!” Really Sakura? She clutched my shoulder, looking at Lee with a ghostly face. Almost as white as my hair I might say.

”You are an angel!” Lee said, a small blush growing over his face. He blew a kiss at her and I thought Sakura might have a panic attack. Desperately, she jumped from her spot, as though dodging the kiss. “You are good at it...” At what? “Then how about this!” Lee continued whatever the hell he was doing and Sakura continued to dodge. Guys you look really stupid doing that. Just saying.
”You! Don’t throw strange stuff! I was dodging for my life!” Sakura yelled at Lee as she hid behind me once again. Uh... I’m not a shield.

    This seemed to really upset Lee. “You don’t have to resent me that much...” His head dropped, he looked throughly disappointed. Anyone else getting a weird sense of deja vu? No? Just me? Naruto was trembling behind me, no doubt angry about Sasuke getting all the attention. If you keep acting like that Naruto, you’ll get attention. Just not the kind you want.

”To be honest, your a naive one. Knowing the name of Uchiha and challenging me. Do you want to realize what this name is, Bushy-Brow?” Sasuke got into something resembling a fighting stance, a dangerous look in his eyes. 

“We really don’t have time for this guys...” I muttered.

”I insist.” Lee raised his hand and got himself into a taijutsu stance. Why am I always ignored?

”Wait!” I sighed as Naruto stepped forward. Don’t make a fool of yourself. “I’m going to take out the Bushy-Brow.” Naruto looked decently angry. You know I think no one should ‘take him out’, we could get disqualified for this sort of thing.

”Hey you..!” Sakura started to say something but was interrupted by Naruto. “Big deal! I’ll be able to take care of him in just five minutes!” This really isn’t the place to be talking big Naruto. You’re probably going to end up embarrassing yourself big time.

”The one I want to fight isn’t you... it’s Uchiha.” Lee stated. Ouch.

    This really ticked Naruto off. “All these people...” He charged at Lee. “Keep saying Sasuke! Sasuke! How annoying!” Naruto went to punch Lee, however Lee simply used a hand and offset Naruto’s balance. Yup... called it.
