Nothing Special

Chapter 51

Then tension grew as Lee become more delirious, Aceso blinked to make sure was seeing things correctly. Lee began to groan as he swayed and hiccuped. He was definitely drunk. Aceso thought it was adorable, but those thoughts were not needed at a time like this.

" Whoa-whoa- wha," Lee mumbled as he stumbled to go forward, then stopped and kneeled down, he tried to gain stability. He looked over at Kimimaro. " What is wrong with you?" He then charged at him at incredible speed. " You know how impolite it is to stare?" He delivered a few kicks, Kimimaro dodged them, they jumped up fighting, and Lee's speed got faster somehow. They both landed a good distance away from each other, Aceso crawled over to the bottle and picked it up. " Not too shabby." Lee giggled more. " Boy. All this jumping around is totally messing with my head here. I'm OK though." He fell back, sprawled out in the grass. Aceso smelled the bottle, that was definitely not medicine.

" Huh?" Kimimaro asked as Lee snored loudly. He slowly walked over. Aceso did a Jutsu and ropes shot out quickly, they wrapped around Kimimaro's ankle, and she tugged on it, so he wouldn't get any closer to Lee. Kimimaro looked over at her, he reached down and tugged the rope with such ease and she fell forward, he turned around and went to go slice at Lee.

" Ah-ha!" Lee laughed as he got back and knocked the sword away. He jumped up caught Aceso, he put her down. " You fell for it. " He jumped and immediately began to deliver punches, each made contact with Kimimaro. This gave Aceso time to release the ropes and have them wrap back around her. One kick sent Kimimaro flying back. " It looked like I was sleeping, but in reality, I was wide awake. Witness the guardian of the shinobi." Happy tears then flowed down his cheeks. " Gai-sensei, I did it. All your training has not been in vain! Gai-sensei, I did it." He then fell back again. " I-ugh." He began to snore more. Kimimaro walked back over and Lee got right back up. Kimimaro jumped back, he was now next to Aceso." Looks like you fell for it again, sucker. If you honestly think I would fall asleep spread eagle on the battlefield, you are certainly mistaken! " Lee began to sway more. " Hey...wait...Hold on a second. Where am I? What am I doing here?" He stumbled back and sat down. " What's going on?" He crossed his arms as she looked up at him from the side. Kimimaro shoved his bone sword down through Aceso's hand into the ground and then grabbed the bottle from her and sniffed.

" Ah!" Aceso cried out.

" Sake?" Kimimaro asked as he looked down at her. " Is he just drunk?" Lee fell asleep again, sitting up, snoring. 

" I think so," Aceso answered Kimimaro removed his sword, Aceso grunted in pain, Lee stopped snoring, and his ears twitched a little at the sound.

" I don't think it will hurt too much when I send him into the afterlife," Kimimaro said as he raised his sword, Aceso swept her feet around and knocked Kimimaro off his feet, then spun back and landed on his feet as Aceso got back up. She took out another kunai knife and charged at him. She began to deliver attacks and he blocked them.

Aceso swept her leg up, Kimimaro went to go block the attack and she took this chance to slam her fist into him, he flew back a little. Kimimaro then came at her, he jumped up, he had his sword ready, coming down at her, she leaped out of the way and jumped up. The two were going at it, and the two then landed a good distance away from each other.

" Who are you?" Kimimaro asked as Lee laid back and continued to sleep.

" Aceso Matsuba," Aceso panted. " Of the Hidden Leaf Village." She then charged at him. He readied himself. The two went back at it, they jumped away from each other and Kimimaro jumped up and came down at her fast. She had no time to move so Aceso reached back and pulled out a bow. She jumped up jabbing it into Kimimaro as he jabbed his sword into her. Both of them spat up blood. Kimimaro grabbed her by the throat with freehand, removed his bone, and threw her. She bounced a couple of times before sliding to a stop. Aceso shakingly heaved herself up on her knees as she put pressure on her wound. She looked up to see Kimimaro going over to Lee He swirled his sword and jabbed it down, suddenly Lee moved to the side, he jabbed again, Lee once more, he jabbed multiple times and Lee kept moving. His feet then caught the blade. he spun threw the sword aside and got back onto his feet groaning. As Kimimaro continued to miss Lee as he danced away half asleep, Aceso shifted herself so she was sitting up and took off her leg wrap to bandage up her wound to stop the bleeding for a bit.
