Welcome to Gaia! ::

((OH! Happy Birthday Erobakage-sama! mrgreen ))

Watching the two ninja run out of sight, Ano decided she would watch them from a distance. She wouldn't try and hide the fact she was watching, what was the point in that? She made two clones and had them follow the chakra trails of Lee and Neji. "Wonder how they'll do. Hope they don't get killed..." Sighing, Ano ran in a different direction than the others and came upon some interesting looking puppets. "Puppets? Wonder who did these..." She pumped them full of senbon and wrangled them wiht her vines. "That was easy." She yanked her senbon out and traveled deeper into the forest.

Sai tilted his head slightly to the side, much like a dog when someone talks to it. "Your curiosity starting to get the better of you, Naruto-kun? Well then, come over here and I'll indulge it for you. But if this is a trick so you don't have to teach me, I'll be mad at you."

Neji too had seen the beasts that Lee had gone after but decided to find something that looked stronger. He was a Jounin and fighting anything too far his level would make him look pathetic. Not to mention that he wanted a real challenge. He headed farther into the forest until something large just ahead of him caught his attention. At first he thought it to be at least two beasts, but when he got closer he found that it was just one. The beast looked like a large lion, but it had the head of a goat sticking out of its back and a large snake for a tail. Is that...a chimera? Good, he'll be a challenge. After pulling a kunai, Neji charged in to attack.

(( heart Me happy, new manga chaps full of Kiba goodness mrgreen and eek Tobi is?! ....actually not surprised...))

Neji stood a few feet from his beast, panting. Damn, this things more trouble than I thought. One of his arms had a deep gash in it from a close call and his clothes were burned in many places from the thing shooting fire at him. It had only gotten worse when he found out the damn snake could spit lightning. That hadn't lasted long though before he ripped it clean off the main body. Now both of them were bleeding, but neither would stop until the other was dead.

Even if Naruto was still lying, Sai could no longer hold himself back. He pulled the younger male right onto his lap as he returned the kiss, his tongue working it's way between the others lips. His hands moved to rest on Narutos waist as he held him close, enjoying the pressure it put on his own body.

As Neji continued to fight the chimera, he noticed the vine, then became angry when they shot something into his monster. "I didn't need your help!" he yelled, knowing that it had to have been Ano since Lee could not do jutsus. Now that the challenge was gone, Neji left the sleeping beast to go find another, grumbling under his breath as he went.

Neji stared at the venus for a moment and sighed. What an immature child! How could someone like that really become an ANBU? While his thoughts were a bit on the cold side, he really couldn't understand it. He was someone who worked hard to get where he was and to find someone like Ano to be an ANBU rank was a bit infuriating.

He turned his attention to his new foe, now having to start over at analyzing his enemy. If she hadn't of put the other to sleep, he would have killed it. If I could use fire jutsus I could kill that thing instantly. My skills will still be enough though. He readied another kunai before circling his enemy.

(( Gomen... I don't know what to put for any of my characters... Just NPC them for a bit, if you have any ideas as to what to do to move on...

gonk ))

Lee looked around and expected a giant spider to come and try to eat him at any moment but he didn't see one. He looked ahead of him again and there right in front of him was a very beautiful girl hanging from a thread. She was wearing a very short black dress that revealed her long slender legs. She moved closer to Lee, abandoning the thread she was hanging from so she could lay next to him against the web. Lee was amazed that she didn't stick to it.

" Hello," She said " You look very tasty. Would you mind telling me your name before I have the pleasure of eating you?"

" Um...M'am...This is a very pretty web you made but I really need to get going. I have to beet my team mate at a challenge you see so I-"

But he stopped talking as she brushed her lips against the side of his neck and started kissing him. After about a minute she began sucking on his sensitive flesh. It didn't arouse him. It just made him extremely uncomfortable. ' This is REALLY not good...'

Naruto was beginning to understand why Sai said that making out was sometimes better than sex, not that he could compare the two. At first he just let Sai have his way, seeing what he would do. Then he started kissing back with equal intensity. His entire body felt warm and pretty soon he felt pleasure building between his thighs...

Neji had taken off a few chunks of the venus but he'd also taken a few hits, but nothing serious. His normal attacks didn't seem to have much effect against the plant which left him hacking away at it with a kunai. He pulled some explosive tags from his pouch and began sticking them on the plant any place he could get to. After putting enough distance between them, he activated them and hoped they did the job.

Without warning Sai turned and dumped Naruto onto the bed, then moved over him. "You should be careful when provoking me, Naru-kun, I will bite." To prove this he began nipping at the blonds neck, grinding against him a bit as he became more aroused.
