Rock "LOUD NOISES" Lee ([personal profile] niceguypose) wrote2014-08-26 02:22 am

Fourteenth Gate [Action/Video]

[It hadn't been unusual for Lee and Neji to miss each other throughout the day. They both followed different schedules and different training regimens, especially without Gai-Sensei to guide them. But the amount of time without seeing Neji at all was alarming. So he checked his comrade's room for signs of a kidnapping, and instead he found something much worse. Neji had gone home. Home to face his death. Rock Lee let out a wail that could be heard throughout the Flame Building. This wasn't the plan. They were supposed to return home only after they could save Neji from that gruesome fate. That was Lee's Luceti dream, even moreso than his dream of obtaining true flight with the wings.

He eventually decided to see Sakura, to try to find some comfort from her about all of this. They had resolved to be there for each other as they endured the trials of Luceti, however. To make sure he was not walking in on anything inappropriate, he knocked approximately 300 times. When none of them gained an answer, he showed himself in. And found a completely empty apartment.]


[Video]

[Rock Lee appears in front of the video feed. Unlike his usual self, he appears more sullen and reserved. Raw and hurt, as he speaks.]

People of Luceti... This is Rock Lee. I am here to deliver news about two people you may know. One was Hyuuga Neji... the genius of the Hyuuga clan and an eternal rival whom I will never defeat. And the other... is Sakura Haruno. She is the most powerful kunoichi in the entire world, and very likely the most beautiful as well. Well, second-most-powerful, if Tsunade-sama is counted.

Both of them... have returned back to their home. [It was unsual to consider how small their numbers how dwindled to. Shikamaru now was the only Konoha ninja remaining, and the only others from their world are now Temari and Itachi.] Please, remember them fondly, and wish them the best in their endeavors. I have found some letters written by both of them. If you would like them, you should face me for them.

[He closes his eyes for a moment in thought.]

It also seems that... the Dancing Red Supportive Angel of Paris, Erica Fontaine, is no longer in Luceti either. [He had tried filtering a message to her, ready to truly ask her out on a date at long last. The filter broke.] Those who seek me... I will be in the Battle Dome. My intentions are to train until I can no longer move.

[He closes his eyes in thought.

Sakura, Neji, Erica, Naruto, Kushina, Minato, Ikki. Rapunzel. Everyone who was bright and/or represented hope in some way went home eventually. Rock Lee was left to endure on his own, and to try to find that hope within him once again.

But he could not find it yet. He can't even manage a parting smile as he closes the journal.]


[Action]

[Rock Lee squats one room of the Battle Dome for the entire day. He has erected a makeshift sign outside of the door reading "Reserved for the Preservation of Youth".

He spends the entire day working through that room, enduring constant and rigorous training in simulations fighting against enemies from his own world. He cannot quite stomach to face a simulation of Neji, but all of his other rivals or enemies are fair game to appear in hologram form. Gaara, Kisame, Obito, Madara, Kimimaro, Sasuke and Naruto himself are the opponents at different times. His final opponent of the day, when he's on his last legs, is Gai-Sensei himself.

However, the holograms are not exactly perfect. Some of the holograms have some unusual abilities caused by Lee trying to fill in the gaps of abilities that he did not know about, and most of the time it ends up being fire breath. And nearly all of the holograms were made in a hurry, resulting in them having some bizarre flaws in their appearance similar to the uncanny valley effect. Some of them end up with small beady eyes, others end up with oddly large and detailed hands. Sometimes, their body features shift oddly as they move, as if they're being poorly animated...]

Well, it's a British thing.

[Time to lead him to the infirmary. She will just pick up her curry later long as no one else takes it.]
codenamexv: ([sigh; no comment])

Never said I was. [Regrets to correct him with a weak smile.] Come on, we're almost there.
codenamexv: ([smile; understanding])

It's okay! It's just a saying even in afternoons, you need a break or something. [Almost there!]
codenamexv: ([venus; smile and take care])

[personal profile] codenamexv 2014-09-07 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
So you actually rest in the evening? Big surprise! [Okay, they're there!]
codenamexv: ([venus; smile and take care])

[personal profile] codenamexv 2014-09-07 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[NO. ...Well, okay. Eventually. And why isn't she surprised?] At least 300 push ups and sit ups, right?

[And snap her love-love curry is still back there! She's just going to semi-gently drop him on the bed. He'll be fine!] Hold that thought!

[Be right back!]
codenamexv: ([wink; silly me])

[personal profile] codenamexv 2014-09-07 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's still inhumanly possible! Oh well, Minako arrives a moment later, she's good at making haste smiling happily while waving the box by the door energetic as ever.]

It's okay! Thank goodness no one tried to pick it up.

[And why is he laying down like that?]
codenamexv: ([ohmaigod])

[personal profile] codenamexv 2014-09-10 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Well then, she better help him with that! But first, set this bento down.]

Hold on! I'll help you right up.

[The best way to turn someone around is to pull the sheets, so she thinks! So the sheets she pulls with a mighty force!]
codenamexv: ([gawd; worst scene ever!])

[Incoming green boulder with the sound of a crash.]

Ack!

[Guess who's on the floor and who's on top?]
codenamexv: ([kick; counter attack])

[personal profile] codenamexv 2014-09-10 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[At least this time she wasn't punched. And if involved groping... pray. Much as she would joke about this, it hurts being bottomed. Minako gave a weak smile as her face flustered bright red. Granted this has happened on countless occasions before just... not with a guy.

Which in this case, Minako's knee quickly rose to knee the poor green ninja hopefully with enough force to get him off and to the side with a scream.]
codenamexv: ([eh?!; you found his what?!])

[personal profile] codenamexv 2014-09-14 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Finally! Fresh air! Minako takes a deep breath as she sits herself upright. Apparently breathing is more important right now than knowing the fact a guy was on top of her.]

I can breathe again! I didn't think I could pull a guy out of bed--[Speaking of 'guy', where is he now? She turns towards him and flailing.] --and knock them out cold! I'm sorry!
codenamexv: ([aww man; caught again])

action;

[personal profile] codenamexv 2014-09-15 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks... it was just quick reflexes, you know. Let's get you back up again, okay?

[Minako picks herself up and then helps Lee up once again. Round two!]
codenamexv: ([boring])

action;

[personal profile] codenamexv 2014-09-15 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
It's no problem. [Since... well, it was her fault. She helps sit him down on the bed again and this time gently.] Let's not try turning you around again.
