A/N- I'm sry i haven't updated in a while, but i hope this satisfies you for now.
Gai was doing his punches when Lee came up and started to train as well.
Two hours passed and neither of the train-oholics had said a word to one another. They were both exhausted and they decided to take a break for awhile.
The sun was starting to set and turning the sky to a blueish-orange. They only spoke ever now and then but when they had a conversation a little over an hour ago and it was about Gais' daughter, Violet.
Gai had said that he met her mother on the street somewhere and that she into as much related stuff that he was, probably even more into it. He said that they had gotten married and had Violet but then there was a pause from Gai and then he said that she died shortly after giving birth to Violet. There was another pause but this time it was from Lee. He said he was sorry to here it and then said that he never even knew his parents. He was raised from his foster parents and then he moved out when he was eleven so that he could be a ninja because his foster parents wouldn't let him.
After a short while Gai suddenly got an idea that would relate to what Lee had said earlier about his parents and family.
"Hey Lee," Gai waited for Lee to look at him before he continued any futher, "You said earlier that you naver really knew your parents or family. So I was just thinking that you could, if you wanted to that is, you could move in with me and Vi and we could be the family you never had."
Lees' expression was predictable, with the waterfall tears and even bigger bug eyes that were watering. "Really, Gai sensei? Could I really?"
"Of course you can," Gai Said whacking Lee on the back and having a huge grin on his face, "Vi, wouldn't mind either I know it. And besides I know you were having financial problems with having to pay for the apartment, so think of this as a favor. But of course if you move in you have to help out when it's needed too."
"Of course Gai sensei. I wouldn't take advantage of situation like this in my entire life." Lee was now saluting to his Sensei. "And are you sure that your daughter Violet wouldn't mind me moving in with you unnotified?"
"Of course she wouldn't. I already asked her about it a while back when I first started thinking about it when you told me about it. She could care less if you moved in or not."
"Alright then...so when should I move in by?" Lee asked curiously.
"You can move in tomorrow afternoon after were done with your training and everything else. Alright."
"Alright then. I shall see you tomorrow then Gai sensei." And with that said Lee left and Gai just sat there for a few more minutes thinking to himself about how life will be with Lee living in his home now.
Gai got up and did a transportation jutsu to go home.
When Gai walked throught the front door, all he could smell was the dinner that Violet was making. It surprised him every time what Violet could make with one main dish. Gai walked into the kitchen and saw Violet standing there starting to put food on the plates for the both of them.
Gai just stood in door frame and watched Violet move about the kitchen trying to finish dinner. Just watching her reminded him of her mother. Her mother had long black hair, just like Violets', and had dark green eyes. She loved youth just he did and also made him happy everyday. Looking at Violet now, she was almost just like her mother in every way except for the fact that she didn't enjoy the wonders of youth like he did. But he was fine with it as long as she didn't just try to grow up to fast in any way.
Violets' expression was plain and it looked like she was concentrating very hard on her work unaware that her father was standing in the doorway watching her every move as she was preparing dinner for the both of them. She came just about an inch and half above Gais' shoulder and she slender, but thats just what you could see. Violet was a strong girl and possibly even rival the Hokages' strength or be even better at that. Gais' mind then traveled to when she was just a little girl running around, smiling, and bringing him pictures that she drew when she back from being babysat.
Gai smirked at the memory and Violet then noticed that someone had been watching her. She stopped at looked at her father. "What are smiling about?" she asked with a plain face, but somehow had a hint of curiosity in it.
Gai just shook his head and said, "It's nothing. It's just that I was remembering when you were little and how you always smiled no matter what...What ever happen to that little girl I once knew, eh?"
Violet was taken aback by his response and she started thinking about her answer and then replied with soft eyes and was looking away from her father, "She grew up, is what happened."
Gai suddenly had a hurt look on his usual happy face. He got off the door frame and said before he walked into the dinning room, "I guess that is what happened, wasn't it?"
Violet knew it was a rhetorical question and left the conversation at that. She went back to her cooking at Gai sat down at the table thinking before his food got there.
Gai also just didn't ask Lee to move in with them because Lee was having problems with money but also because he thought that with Lee moving in that he could somehow make Violet start smiling again. A plate of food was set down in front of him and he thanked Violet for it. She went back into the kitchen and took off the white apron she was wearing and grabbed her plate and walked bak out the table and sat at the opposite side of the table that her father was sitting at.
They sat in silence and Gai started to think back when Violet stopped smiling almost all the time. She smiled occasionally. It was when she was sent on her second ANBU mission. Violet had told her dad that she would be back in about a month and a half, possibly in a month if the mission went well. He had told her goodbye and and for the next month of going about and doing what ever he needed to do and waited for Violet to return home safely. After another month went by, he assumed that she would be home in a few days. Three more weeks went by and he started to get a little concerned and went to the mission office to see if she had come back but then had to leave and go on another mission without telling him. She never did. He about asking the other Jonin if they had seen Violet on a mission and they told him they hadn't, but they would keep a lookout for her if they ever did.
It was nearing the end of the fourth month and Gai had already practically everyone in the village if they had seen his his daughter, even Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma. Gai was was starting to get a little scared thinking about whether or his daughter had been killed on the mission she was sent on. He was practically murdering himself mentally for letting his only daughter be a member of the ANBU force.
A few more days went by and he was at the Ramen stand having lunch with Kakashi when Genma comes running up out of breath and starts to tell them that Violet had come back and she was in the Hospital but they were just about to release her because she didn't any other injuries besides a sprained ankle. But her other teammates were going to have to stay there longer because of serious or fatal injuries conflicted on them.
One was going to have to have surgery. Another was unconscious and the last one was having internal bleeding.
After Gai heard all of this, rushed to Hospital and saw Violet already half way down the road from the building. He ran up to her and said his greeting but Violet didn't even bother looking at him or return the greeting. He thought it was probably because she nearly just lost her teammates in battle. So he just gave her a hug and he noticed that he wasn't getting any response so he let her go. She just kept staring at his stomach like he was in the way.
He moved aside and she went on walking back to their house. Gai just stood there thinking that she just needed some time to think. So he just followed her back home and when they walked in he was about to ask her if she wanted anything to eat, but before he could ask she slammed her door shut, hard.
A few weeks went by and she would only talk occasionally and whenever Gai started to talk about how stupid Genma was being while she was gone, that would usually make her laugh or just smile, she stayed quiet and either ignored it or thought it wasn't funny at all. The rest of the group all noticed this and tried to make her laugh, but the only response she gave them was her walking out of the building.
After that, everything changed. She quit being an ANBU member and substituted for being a Special Jonin instead. She went out only when it was necessary and for her training. She also went out when she had to got check to see if she had in any missions and if someone offered to buy her her lunch. She would go with Gai out with his friends to the bar a had some sake but she mainly went with him because she would usually have to either drag or carry Gai back because he got into a drinking contest with Genma and Kakashi. Anko and Kurenai went to because of that fact and usually had to take them home.
Gai was snapped out of his memories when Violet asked him if he wanted any more to eat. He wondered how long she had been trying to get his attention from the weird look she was giving him when he didn't reply at first. He said he was fine and he took his plate into the kitchen and put it in the sink so Violet could clean it later.
He then went back to his room and took off his vest, shirt, and shoes and threw them to the side of the room. He laid down on his queen sized bed and in a few minutes he fell asleep for the night for the night.
Violet went into the kitchen after she finished eating and started to clean up the kitchen and the dishes. She started thinking about earlier when she and her father were eating dinner. Her father looked so distant and not even present at the table when the were eating. It was like he wasn't even there. She had called to him to get his attention several times before he answered if wanted anymore to eat.
Once Violet finished cleaning everything, it was already 10 o'clock. She walked to her room and was about to walk in when she decided to go check up on her dad.
Opened the door and saw that he was asleep. She looked down at the floor and closed the door and walked back to her room so she could get some rest.
The next day came faster than Violet thought. It was 6 o'clock in the morning and even though that she felt happy and relaxed that she finally got some decent sleep, she was pissed because her father didn't get her up so that she could go do her training. Violet left her room and headed towards her fathers' room. She opened the door and saw that he was no where in sight. She went back out and walked about the apartment, that they lived in, and still couldn't him anywhere. She shrugged her shoulders and went and got something to read so she could enjoy her day off.
The afternoon came faster than anyone expected. Kakashi took his team to the Ramen stand so that they could all eat. But when they got there, they found out that Gais' team was there and Kakashi tried to get them to go somewhere else unnoticed but Gai sensed Kakashis' chakra and made them join him for lunch. After about our hour or so of talking the two teams went their separate ways.
Gai and Lee went back to Lees' apartment and got all of his stuff, or what they could pack. They then started to walk back to Gais' apartment. When they got there, it was to quiet. Gai opened the door and noticed that Violet was sitting the couch reading a book. Lee walked in and Violet noticed that someone had walked into her home, so she looked up and saw that Gai and Lee were standing in the doorway. Her gazed then went down to the bags that they were holding. She mentally killed her dad.
"Damn...now I have to buy 20 more locks for my door, plus a new door." Gai and Lee just smiled and walked back to the spare bedroom so they can get Lee settled in.
