All in all, Gai thought to himself; the matter was rather disconcerting.
He knew that his youthful and eternal rival Hatake Kakashi had many female fans – that was a fact. But he hadn't realised that the man had gotten himself a female companion.
To be honest, the worrying part of the issue wasn't that his rival had managed to acquire a lady friend. Of course, anyone would want to date the brave and courageous fountain of youth which was Hatake Kakashi, copy-nin extraordinaire!
Due to the man's sensitive, and queer nature, the green beast of Konoha wasn't even perplexed over the fact that his youthful next door neighbour kept locking his new youthful lady friend out of his flat.
The confusing, bewildering, unsettling, and downright disturbing part of the issue was that his beautiful, and most youthful rival didn't seem to realise that he had acquired such a chum.
He had questioned the other man about the mysterious and inexplicable female who sat shrouded in a youthful cloak of doubt each night outside the man's flat; but his companion had been completely oblivious to the fact that there was indeed a woman sitting outside of his attractive and youthful dwelling.
Once the green beast had pressed enough to comprehend that the silver haired beast of Konoha was, indeed, unaware of his nightly visitor, he did something very out of character, and let the issue drop.
Then he came to the following conclusion: Hatake Kakashi had a stalker.

Hatake Kakashi had walked around Konoha for most of the day. He had got back from a long hall mission the night before, which meant that he now had some time off to 'relax and recover', as Tsunade put it. Not that he really needed it – but it was nice to have a break anyhow.
He had done some training in the morning; and then gone out and gotten his shopping; after meeting Naruto at Ichiru Ramen, and cheating him out of several bowels; which had filled his dinner and breakfast-less stomach.
All in all, he had had a good day.
That was until he saw Gai.
The green beast appeared fully clad in his usual embarrassing attire, and had raced down the road at the sight of his 'eternal rival'. Unfortunately, he'd run towards Kakashi, rather than away from him. And in the heat of the moment, Kakashi lost the good sense to run away.
Whilst the green beast's teeth attempted to blind him, Kakashi decided to himself that he would try and make a quick get away.
When the green beast pulled his favourite 'nice guy' pose, Kakashi decided to make that a 'doubly quick getaway'.
His mind even mused for a moment over the idea that Gai would probably call it a 'super youthful dynamic double quick getaway' or something of the like.
Kakashi quickly informed his brain that it would not be having any thoughts like that in the near future, medium future, or far future; at least, not if he had anything to do with it.
When Gai's 'dynamic' entry was over, Kakashi humoured the man, and gave him a quick, and very non-dynamic 'Yo'; unfortunately he couldn't raise his hand in his normal greeting; because a three ton bag of instant food was weighing his hand down.
"So cool you are, my eternal rival!" The spandex clad nin jeered, grinning at Kakashi again.
'Here we go again', said copy-nin thought to himself.
"What do you want, Gai?" He wanted to get straight to the crux of the conversation; no point wasting time after all.
"I came to ask once again about your most youthful conquest in a young female, my most beautiful rival!"
'This again?' The copy-nin asked himself; not really expecting an answer. The man had been going on about his 'youthful conquest' for about the last month and a half; and he still didn't know what he was on about. The man really did speak a lot of shit sometimes.
"I don't have one", he told the man simply, turning to walk away, in hopes that the man would leave him alone.
Apparently the man didn't get the hint, because when he turned around, the man had already moved in front of him.
"Then who, might you tell me, is the woman on yonder balcony there for?"
'Yonder balcony? What the hell? Oh right; must have red Romeo and Juliet. I should really never have told him about the library – it didn't exactly do me any favours. Like shut him up.'
On the outside, the man shrugged.
"Again Kakashi! Your answer is so cool! Fear not though my youthful companion, the handsome green beast of Konoha will solve the mystery!"
The man pulled another 'nice guy' pose, letting his teeth momentarily stun Kakashi with their supreme, and ridiculous, whiteness, before taking off back down the street.
'Well thank God for that then', Kakashi thought to himself; unsure whether that particular comment was in referral to Gai's last words on the 'mystery', or because the 'beautiful beast', or whatever he called himself, had finally left him alone.
In order to make sure that the other nin didn't catch him out in the open, or come running back again, in order to make him participate in one of his ridiculous challenges, Kakashi quickly made his way back to the safe haven that he called his home.

The cold wind bit into the nin's uncovered skin as it raced past; ruffling the nin's clothes, and almost freezing the fluid of the nin's eyes.
Still those eyes watched.
No matter what; those eyes stayed open; peering out of sockets at a large rough brown door; barely even blinking. There were other colours and textures around the edges of the nin's vision; but they were unfocused and hazy.
Nothing else mattered.
The darkness was still falling rapidly. The night was dark; but not black. The sun was still on the horizon, the clouds still red; as if some child had coloured in and over the lines with a red crayon; pressing too hard against the paper.
Red sky at night, ninja's delight.
Whispers flickered through the night; like voices heard over an old and battered radio. Fuzzy; oh so fuzzy; words could not be heard.
Only a focused mind would pick up the words. The incessant speech; it was there all day long in a big village like this; grating over the ears; inside of the ears, behind the ears; wrapping like clean film around the brain, suffocating thoughts.
'I'm going to do it, I'm going to SEE!'
A particularly loud voice stood out from the rest.
The nin made a seal and disappeared in a flurry of leaves.
