Boredom. A Maito Guy one-shot.

I walked quickly through the streets of Konoha. My cloak flowing behind me, I had no place to go, nowhere to be, no missions to do, simply put I was bored. Kakashi had gone off on some mission so he wasn't around to bother, and Iruka was busy teaching his students and Guy.. Well… I didn't know where he was. Probably off training his team or with Lee or something. I was a jounin now too, maybe I should get my own team?

I looked up at the brightly lit sky and squinted, even though I had just fed recently the sun still bothered me. But then again I suppose it would bother humans too if they looked straight at it.

"Hey Kurai-san!" I blinked looking away from the sky and grinned "Afternoon, Tenten." She smiled and stood beside me "What are you up to?" She asked curiously. "Nothing." I told her narrowing my eyes at her "Why?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to go shopping with me?"

I thought for a moment and shrugged "I guess I could pick some things up, food would be nice."

"I thought vampires didn't eat normal food." Tenten said as we started walking in the direction of the shops. I stared at her thoughtfully "Would a human survive on bread and water alone?" Tenten shook her head "Not if we didn't have to." I nodded "Exactly, See, my mother used to cook me food all the time but I never recalled her eating anything. Perhaps it is only half vampires that eat normal food as well as blood." I said more to myself.

I blinked and shook myself from my thoughts and got me some food of all kinds, I love to cook and come up with new recipes.. Even if my cooking skills could use some work. "So the other day I heard Lee and Guy-sensei over talking.." Tenten started with a sly grin making me drop the fruit I was looking at back down with the others and look at her raising an eyebrow "Did you?"

I asked sniffing, like it unfazed me and picked up another piece of fruit examining it closely. "Hmm hmmm… And you'll never guess what I know!" I glanced at her "What's that?"

"Guy has a crush on someone! I didn't get to hear who but apparently she is 'beautiful beyond words'." I froze for a moment staying quiet before nodding "That's interesting." I couldn't help the rush of jealousy rush through my gut.

Guy had been my 'crush' as Tenten put it for quit a long while. He was my first friend, after awhile of trying to get me to talk to him, usually I would ignore him but one day I was tired of him trying so I stopped to tell him to leave me be but it didn't work out like I thought it would have..

I stared at the teen in front of me wearing his green spandex like always with his usual goofy grin. "Look.. Just leave me alone." I said coldly trying to walk past him. "Ah.. But I can not! It is my duty to make young ladies such as you happy!"

"It would make me happy if you left me alone."

He ignored the comment, or it just didn't faze him. "Tell me, what is your name?" He asked me. I rolled my eyes and again tried to walk past him. He walked along side me "My name is Kurai Kage." I muttered expecting some sort of shock or surprise or fear. Nothing. He only smiled again. "What a beautiful name! It fits." I felt a blush and looked away sticking my hands into my pockets.

"Do you need something?"

"I have seen you around the Academy but you are always by yourself, I wish to be your friend." I stared at him once again surprised and sneered showing off my fangs, he did not flinch away or cry out and I blinked clearing my face of all emotion and tilted my head "What's your name?" I asked him.

"Maito guy! Number one Taijutsu user!" I smiled faintly and nodded "Perhaps you can help me train sometime, my taijutsu can use some work.." He grinned even wider and did a pose "But of course!" My stomach growled and I blushed again "But allow me to buy you lunch!" I grinned lightly and nodded "Okay, sure."

"Are you okay, Kurai-san?" Tenten brought me from my thoughts and I nodded putting the fruit in my shopping bag "Shall we go?"

"Oh, um, sure." Tenten said a little concerned from my sudden mood change. We took the food back to my house, it was small, nothing really important with two bedrooms a living room and a kitchen/dinging room. I dropped the bags onto my counter and sat down for a second. "Kurai-san?" I looked up at Tenten and forced a grin "Would you like to have dinner over here?"

She nodded with a smile "That would be great, can I invite the guys?" It wasn't a rare thing for Team Guy to eat dinner at your place. It usually happened every few weeks if they weren't too busy. "Sure, go ahead."

Tenten left while I started cutting up vegetables. By the time they had gotten back I was placing the food on the table. "Hello Kurai-san!" Lee greeted me saluting. "Sup' Lee?" He grinned lowering his hand "Thank you for cooking for us, Kurai-chan." Guy said standing behind Lee and Neji. I nodded feeling another wave of jealousy for whoever the mystery girl was.

I took my seat and took a bite of my food while the others did the same, talking about random things. Guy sat down next to me like he normally did but I tried not to pay much attention to him, maybe I was being a little childish but I didn't care.

Soon everyone had finished eating and I picked up the dishes taking them into the kitchen and running water in the sink "Allow me to help you, Kurai-chan." Guy said standing beside me with a dish towel in hand. I nodded muttering an "Okay."

"Is something bothering you?" He asked me drying one of the plates. I shook my head no and he looked skeptical and smiled warmly placing a hand on my shoulder making me look at him "I know you too well, Kurai. Tell me what is bothering you."

I blinked thoughtfully and stayed silent pondering for a moment, I could just tell him how I felt about him, at least then I wouldn't feel as bad if I ever saw him with another woman. At least then he would know and I wouldn't have anything on my chest. I had made a promise to him that we wouldn't keep secrets from each other.

"Well.. The truth is that I.." My confidence slowly ebbed away and I sighed looking back down at the soapy water "I love you, Maito-kun." After a few moments of quiet I forced myself to look at him. He had a blush staining his cheeks and he stared at me wide eyed.

"I apologize." I murmured quietly and turned away from him busying myself with putting dishes away. "K-Kurai.." I heard him say quietly and I swallowed down the lump I felt in my throat "It's okay, Guy. I understand." He winced at me using his last name and walked behind me slowly wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I love you too, Kurai-chan." He whispered spinning me around and capturing my lips in a deep kiss, I was slightly surprised from his forwardness but it didn't bother me as I kissed him back wrapping my arms around him.

The kiss was interrupted by three simultaneous gasps. We broke apart and looked in the kitchen entrance; I blushed seeing the three teens standing there. Tenten grinned "Finally!" Lee smiled holding his fists up "I knew Guy-sensei could do it!" Neji grinned faintly and rolled his eyes. I chuckled and kissed Guy's cheek "Now.." I started with a big grin "Who wants desert?"
