Live to Train Another Day (Naruto Fic)

The Story

This is a cute little story, that I hope you like, I've been kinda upset with the way Naruto ended, so this is me getting back on track with Naruto Fanfics! ^_^ By the way, this one isn't Kakashi!

I sat watching Senpai punch and kick the stump many times, I could never bring myself to go and talk to him, let alone ask to train with him, what if he says no. The thought sent tears to my eyes, though they never fell.

Senpai was frustrated today, he was punching the stump harder and harder until I saw his tears fall down. He wiped his eyes and began to do push ups, I noticed more tears fall down while he was pushing up and going back down, before he finally collapsed. I looked up into the gray air as the sky began to cry for my Senpai.

A man walked out into the downpour and pulled Senpai out of the rain. "Are you coming?" He motioned to me. I stepped out of my bush nodding to the man holding Senpai. "Where do you live?" The man asked. I simply shook my head and went in the direction to my house. I turned looking back, but the man and my Senpai were already gone.

I looked forward as I noticed just how wet my clothes were, I was soaked. I started to feel chilly and suddenly tears fell and mixed with the raindrops falling from overhead. A coward, is what I am, I could never talk to Senpai, even if I tried. I stood crying for a few minutes more until I decided to finally make my way home. I ran over a few fences and under a ladder before I finally made it to the small apartment building I call home.

I pulled a towel out of my drawer drying my hair enough to make the dripping stop. I grabbed some dry clothes and a new towel heading off to take a shower. I step in the shower and let the hot water wash over my body effectively warming myself. I spread myself out on the couch, my futon was wet from the rain drops falling, I forgot to move my futon before the roof started to leak. I thought for a few moments before drifting off to sleep slowly.

After a night of sleep I got dressed and aired my futon hoping that it'd be dry enough by tonight. I decided that I would talk to the building manager, maybe he'd finally fix it, if he ignores me again I'll speak to the Hokage. I spaced out for quite a while before realizing where I was again. Senpai! He's out here again. I quickly hid behind the bush.

"Kid, you may not be a genius at ninjutsu, but you are a genius at hard work," the man from yesterday told Senpai. "How about I teach you Taijutsu?" Senpai's face lightened up and he nodded. The man turned towards my hiding spot and asked, "do you, youthful spirit, also need my expert guidance?"

I stepped out of the bush thinking, I nodded while Senpai just looked confused. The man smiled and it almost seemed to glisten. "The name's Maito Guy, Guy-Sensei to you two. Welcome my youthful apprentices!"

Senpai and I both cheered. Guy-Sensei held out two green jumpsuits. We both took them and ran to a bathroom to change. Senpai started to speak to me, which I tried to reply in anything more than the blushing and few noises I could muster. Soon Guy-Sensei began to have us train, he'd worked us hellishly. I was exhausted by the end of training, I was surprised that I was still conscious by the end.

"Ko-Chan, are you ok?" Sensei asked. I mumbled softly before everyone and everything turned black.

I gradually opened my eyes to the psychedelic world in front of me, the sky was purple and the people had blue skin. I mumbled incoherent sentences while in my delusion. "She needs rest. What were you thinking, making that poor girl train so hard with such a high fever, she could've died or even been severely injured."

"Baka!" Senpai, the talking zebra, yelled upset. "If you'd have told us you were sick, we wouldn't have you train today."

"I was sick? How do you tell?" I asked the talking zebra.

"Didn't your parents ever teach you?" Sensei, the dying tree, asked.

"I've never met my parents," I told the zebra and the dying tree.

They both shed tears for me and apologized profusely saying, "I'm sorry!"

"It is alright, zebra-Senpai and dying-tree-Sensei, I do not hold any grudges."

I slowly drifted to sleep leaving the psychedelic dream behind. My eyes open to a white room, where is Rock Lee? Lee-Senpai isn't here, who were the zebra and the dying tree, I feel like I know them.

"Ko-chan, I have brought you food," Senpai says resolutely with redness tingeing his round face. I smile and begin to eat, it looks like this is the perfect way to start a relationship.

So, this is the end, I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
