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.

 " Can't you see, I'm trying to take a nap?" Lee asked. " Buzz, buzz, buzz, you little fly!" He punched the enemy a couple of times. He jumped delivering numerous kicks sending Kimimaro back. " Hey, bring it on already! Hey! Come on! What's the hold-up, tough guy? Hey, come on. If you will not make the first move. Then I will just have to bring the fight to you!" He then charged at Kimimaro, he then tripped and fell on his face. " Ow." He shot back up attacking Kimimaro. " What'd you do that for?" He kicked the boy multiple times, sent him flying, and jumped spinning at him. He was on one hand then charged toward Kimimaro. " I am enjoying the springtime of my youth!" He was moving fast, dodging all the attacks Kimimaro threw at him. " I am in the prime of my youth and making the most of it." He was on his hands, walking, and kicking, Kimimaru blocked each kick with his sword.

" Chameleon dance!" Kimimaro exclaimed as he got faster, Lee dodged all the jabs. Lee ducked just as the sword cut a little strand of hair off, he grabbed the sword and spun, and the two began to kick each other. Lee soon Kimimaro's leg caught.

" Ya!" Lee yelled before punching him. The punch was powerful, Kimimaro flew back, the blood of Aceso's stab flew everywhere and his sword flew out of his hand. Kimimaro landed, and slid a few feet, the sword fell between him and Lee, and the drunk boy hiccuped and let out a battle cry. Kimimaro got back onto his feet, he took off his other sleeve, and the mark on his chest grew, just like it would on Sasuke. His fingers moved around funny, bumps appeared underneath his arms, and a couple of bones popped out of his arm like armor.

" My true abilities lie within my bones," Kimimaro revealed. " I'm sure the little clone brat must have told you that before he left."

" Huh," Lee groaned.

" I think it's time we sobered you up," Kimimaro decided.

 " Sober who up?" Lee asked. " Do I look drunk to you?" he ran forward, and jumped up to kick, Kimimaro moved his arm, blocking the kick with his bones.

" Well, whatever you are, I'll snap you out of it," Kimimaro declared. The two took off toward each other as Aceso then crawled over to the bone sword and grabbed it.

" I said I'm not drunk," Lee repeated himself. " In the first place, I'm not even of age. Underage ninjas should not partake in drinking sake!" He punched forward, and bones appeared out of Kimimaro's ribs, pierced Lee, and sent him flying back. He sat up as blood seeped out of his cheek. " Unorthodox, is it not? This is my kekkei Genkai."

" My head is pounding like a drum," Lee groaned, he was no longer drunk. " And why is my face bleeding? It seems I really was drunk after all then." He looked at Kimimaro. " Uh--what has happened to you?"

" It's his kekkei Genkai," Aceso answered, Lee's head snapped towards her, and his eyes widened at the state she was in.

" So, your medicine has finally worn off," Kimimaro gathered. " As your friend said, you're looking at my kekkei Genkai." Lee tore his eyes away from Aceso and put them back on Kimimaro. He stood up getting ready to fight, he grew angrier.

" My kekkei Genkai freely controls my osteoblasts and osteoclasts. It allows me to alter the concentration of calcium and form new bones altogether. Normally, the human body contains 206 bones. But in my case, that number is somewhat more negotiable." Another bone popped out of his skin from his chest as Aceso was starting to get back onto her feet.

" But bone is bone after all," Lee concluded before charging. " Once broken, there is no mending it!" He threw a punch, Kimimaro blocked it, and Lee back-handspring away. " Hyah! Very well." He jumped up and slammed behind the enemy.

" Behold, my Larch Dance," Kimimaro said as his bones grew out, sharper, Lee appeared to throw a punch. Then Kimimarou spun slicing up Lee. He flew back. Aceso got up and charged Kimimaro. She began throwing attacks, trying to dodge the sharp pointing bones, he was very good at dodging his own sword, and Lee looked up to see what was happening. She ducked dodging the bones, and jumped up, she placed her feet on the density of the bone going up more, she turned and started to go down at Kimimaro. He moved back a little and his bones fell forward, she had her hand wrapped around the blade a little and arched her arm back a little. She released the sword, sending it at his foot, Kimimaro used two of his bones to cut right through her sides, he deflected the sword his foot bone, then cried out and spat out blood. They were holding her up. As he did this Aceso released her Jutsu, an arrow shot out of the sleeve and went right through the middle of Kimimaro's body, there was a rope on the end, it wrapped all around his body, Aceso pulled tightly, making his limbs snap towards his side.

" Red Rose," Lee breathed. Aceso has an arrowed up her sleeve and used it to stab Kimimaro with it, right in the middle of his body.

" You're finished," Kimimarou declared as his bones grew, getting sharper, cutting the ropes, loosening up his limbs.

" Please, wait," Lee pleaded as he got back up, the bones stopped. " From now on, this fight is between you and me. We play for keeps." Aceso turned her head to see him unwrapping the wraps on his arms. Kimimaro took back his bones and dropped Aceso, she fell flat on her back. " Here I come!" She lifted her head a little to see Lee charging at Kimimaro, then started to run around, making dust and dirt fly up. " The First Gate, Gate of Opening, open!" The wraps wend around Kimimaro and tighten making his arms and legs pinned to his body. " Primary Lotus!" He put his leg forward and his leg went down, onto Aceso's stomach, she grabbed his leg trying to help keep him from falling over. The bones appeared out of Kimimaro and absorb Lee's kick.

" Your speed is impressive," Kimimaro complimented. " But this is over now." He arched his arm back, the bones poking out his arms grew very sharp. He lifted his leg, a bone popped out from the bottom of his foot. " Now die!" He threw a punch at Lee as he went to go stomped on Aceso's head. Suddenly sand appeared, going around the bones of his arms and his foot. The sand blew Kimimarou and Lee and Aceso away from each other. Lee flew out of Aceso's grip, she flew up a bit more and he grabbed onto her leg as he fell backward.
