"I... lost?" For her to stand up after going through his Omote Renge....
"AWESOME! MINAKO-SAN, YOU ARE TRULY AN AMAZING WARRIOR!" Lee's face became buoyant, and he leapt out of his bed to prance around Minako's, the epitome of glee. "SO COOL! I CANT BELIEVE YOU GOT UP! YOU ARE SOOOOOOO AWESOME! WOOOOOOOOOOO!" Lee twirled, leapt and danced around the small room, the adrenaline at hearing of Minako's awesome victory coursing through his veins. He grabbed one of Minako's hands in his good one, kissed it, and continued his mad caper of joy. "AMAZING! YOU TRULY HAVE A YOUTHFUL SPIRIT! AWESOME!" He continued yelling his praises.
For some reason, Lee's adrenaline always kicked in after a fight. He was truly happy for his new friend. To think she'd beaten him! He'd have to have her help him train sometime. "You'll do great in the next part! I'm sure you'll make Chuunin, especially after that!"

"Okay...really wierd..." Minako said as Lee began his prance around the room, like he was worshipping her. "LEE PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!!" Minako exclaimed, clasping her head again. "Drat...I still cant yell." Minako muttered again. More quietly she added, "Lee sit down before you break your other leg!" Minako said shaking her head. Well at least he is taking it well.Minako thought, seeing the bright side to the news, at least this situation couldn't get any more akward.

Lee happily hopped back onto his own bed, sitting with his legs crossed and beaming widely.
"So, Minako-chan... I can call you Minako-chan, cant I?... how does it feel to win? Now you get to go on and fight other genin, I'm pretty sure. With your skill, I dont think it will be a problem! I bet you just cant wait to fight again!" Lee bounced in place, already looking forwards to watching the next few fights, when an idea of a brand-new sort came into his head.
"Hey, do you want to..... train with me later? After this, I mean, you know, the Chuunin exams. After those, you wanna, like, get together and train sometime, just the two of us, for a little while? You can teach me how to fight against those genjutsu of yours, and I can, maybe, I dunno, teach you some of my special brand of taijutsu!" Lee rubbed the back of his head, while grinning sheepishly. "I mean, theres a lot we can learn from each other, right? So, Minako-chan... whattaya say?"

Minako sighed as he continued to bounce around. Finally he stopped and sat down.
"Yeah, I'll be fighting the other Genin...hope it wont be too much of a pain. I hope I can win, I guess, but next to my own teammates I look pretty weak, but anyway enough about that."
Minako wasn't too surprised when Lee asked to train with her, after all for the past few minutes he had been going on about how great she was. Minako smiled, "Sure, if Kazuma won his fight, Kaji-sensei will be busy training with him anyway, so whenever we're better, we should get started.

"Really? Thats... Great! Yeah, definitely! As soon as we get free time! Absolutely!" Lee collapsed back on his sheets. He'd never been very good around girls, even for simple things like asking them to train. [It isnt like this is a date, right? Of course not! I've still got Sakura-chan!... right?]
"I'm sure you'll do fine in the next section. I mean, if you beat me, I know for a fact that I'm better than at least two of the other genin, and if they won their matches you can beat them easily! I'm considered a taijutsu expert, so, since you beat me, any other taijutsu users wont be major problems, unless they have good ninjutsu..." Lee's mind spiralled off before locking back on the problem at hand: Minako's nervousness. "I'm sure you'll be fine. Dont worry too much. Just go in with a Youthful spirit and you cant lose!" Lee finished with a laying-down nice-guy pose, his teeth making a ping noise as they reflected the light.

Minako laughed at Lee's enthusiasm, sometimes she wished she had that enthusiams. Lee seemed to be pretty confident that she'd win, but considering that she was the only girl so far who had passed it looked bleak. Not that she thought men were stronger, Minako knew there were some boys she could beat the crap out of. Minako smiled at Lee as he gave her his trademark shinny smile, before she rolled over on her other side and looked out the window.

"You tired, Minako? That's okay." Lee rested his head on the pillow and stared at the cieling. His exhaustion was starting to catch up with him. Up till now, he'd been running on pure adrenaline and sugar-coated dango that he'd had for breakfast, and he was starting to feel the burnout. A nap would be nice, very nice. He stretched his arms and legs out to their max, with the exception of his right arm, with its cast.
"I might get something to eat first, though. Do you want anything, Minako-san? It's all quite good here." Lee knew from his many trips to this hospital that the food here was a lot better than many other hospitals: An Akimichi was the hospital chef.

Minako turned over to face Lee, "I'll take it you've been to the Hospital a lot?" she asked, considering he knew that all the food was good. "I'm not very hungry at the moment thanks." She smiled.
She decided just to stay on the side she was already on, since it was a pain to roll over too much because of her hurt back. She simply smiled again before closing her eyes to get a little rest.

"Alright, then. I'll be back in fifteen or twenty. Bye..." Lee stood and walked out the door, headed for the kitchen on the first floor. Some ramen noodles, maybe, for his stomach, and then he'd sleep. Sounds perfect...
--------------------------
"A bowl of miso, please." He couldnt help it: After so many meals after training with Naruto, miso ramen had become one of his favorite snack foods.
"Here ya go," The portly chef with swirls on his cheeks grinned as he handed the large bowl of steaming ramen over the counter to Lee.
"Thanks." Lee walked to a booth, sat, and set to work devouring his ramen.
When he was done, about ten minutes later, he threw the plastic bowl away and headed back upstairs to nap
--------------------------
"Back, Minako-san." Lee collapsed onto his bed. "I'll just... take a beauty nap here, okay? Talk to you..." He yawned loudly. "...later." Lee allowed himself to fall into the welcoming darkness of sleep.

About an hour or two of Minako sleeping, she woke up with a growling stomach. Maybe I better go get something to eat. Thought Minako. Pulling back the covers of the bed, she stiffly carried herself down the hallway, placing her hand on the wall to keep her balance.
The chef was still downstairs when she got there.
"I'll have some rice and an apple please... and a little green tea." Minako usually had a craving for green tea when she was injured, she wasn't sure why but she just did. Minako ate her food, and thanked the chef, who thanked her back. Minako smiled and made her way up the the room again.
Minako felt a lot better after her sleep, but she made sure she went up quietly so she wouldn't wake Lee. Minako sat back down in her bed and pulled the covers back up. Minako sighed and stared out the window. It seems the only thing to do is sleep and stare out the window... Minako thought, But I'm not tired Minako just sighed, at least she'd have Lee to talk to when he woke up, for now Minako just looked out the window.

Lee's eyes cracked open, and he glanced at the clock on his bedside table. He'd only been out for two hours. He never could sleep long anyways, and besides, he felt fine now.
He saw Minako awake in her bed. "Awake already, Minako? I'd have thought you would have slept for several more hours. Are you feeling much better?" Lee stretched his arms, and stood.
After doing a few of his simple stretches to warm himself up, he calmly noted, "I'm going to be leaving soon, Minako-san. I've never stayed a full stay in a hospital, I always break out early. They try to keep me here too long. No way I'm staying for a full day!"
Lee opened the window of their room, before looking back at his new friend. "Minako-san, do you want to come with me? If you are well enough, we can see who won the first round, or we can train together, that is, if you want to, I mean."

A few hours later Lee was awake, Minako had dosed off for about an hour while Lee was still sleeping. Truly she did feel better. "Thanks Lee I am feeling much better." Minako said.
Lee's next comment wasn't a surprise to her, seeing that he often came to the hospital and his attitude he had clearly displayed earlier, it was no doubt he never stayed a full day. And judging by how all she could do was sleep and stare, she was ready to get out too. Bandages still fresh on her arm, Minako stood up, "I'm ready to go!" Minako exclaimed, "No way am I staying here for another day." She got ready to leave, "So where to?"

"Where to? Out of here, thats where!" Lee jumped on the ledge of the window, before leaping the twenty some odd feet to the ground. "Come on! We can go train, or something. Beats sitting in a bed all day!" Lee ran in place. Nothing was funner than running from a hospital for him.
He'd need to retrieve his weights from the testing center, at least. He still had his spare jumpsuit, Konoha headband tied around his waist, and his sandals, but he needed his sake bottle back. So, I guess that was the priority. "I need to go to the testing center, to pick up my weights that I took off during the match, okay? You can come with me if you want."

Minako jumped out the window after Lee. "Okay, here goes nothing!" Being careful to land on her feet without injuring herself, she landed next to Lee.
"Okay I'll go with, after all I have nothing better to do." Minako shrugged. "So to the arena again?" She asked.
(Hooray for short posts!)
