Chapter 3:

"Fuck..." Naruto murmurs as he looks down on the group of girls below him. "Are you telling me that those girls are calling Sasuke, Sai, Neji and Gaara... gay? Just because they don't pay attention to them. Is that all it takes to get one of these girls, being a jerk?"

"Well," Kakashi replies. "I don't think it's entirely out of the question to think that maybe they are homosexual. All the points Sakura just made seemed well thought out and very plausible. I've noticed it too. The way Sai looks at you at least. I won't even start with Sasuke."

Naruto blushes. "W- what are you talking about!? I mean... Sai is a little weird and he's obsessed with dicks but... I don't think we should just assume he's i- in love with me."

"I never said anything about love..." Kakashi smirks. "Lust maybe..."

Naruto's eyes widen. "B- but I mean, I s- saw Sai earlier today and he... he didn't say... he didn't act like... he never..."

"I think Neji is gay." Lee says out of the blue, a blush also tinting his cheeks.

"Did he hit on you or something?" Kiba asks jokingly.

Lee looks down and quickly answers, "No! I just um... i've noticed some things about him. He stares at guys sometimes. And one time I think I heard him talking to Gai-sensei about it. It was when we were still genin and I don't really remember it exactly. I just remember Gai was comforting him, telling him it was perfectly normal. When Neji had found out I was listening he'd almost killed me."

Kiba looks thoughtful for a moment then Naruto slaps him on the back and says, "What's wrong Kiba? You homophobic or something?"

"No!" Kiba gasps. "It's just... I was thinking that Neji already kinda looked like a girl so him being gay isn't that surprising."

The others nod then suddenly Sakura becomes tired of the girls not understanding what she is trying to say so she just yells,

"THEY'RE GAY!"

A few girls gasp loudly. Ino is one of them. She even stands up and growls angrily,

"My Sai isn't gay!"

"Oh really?" Karin asks. "Come on out here Sai."

A door opens and out walks a smiling Sai. Ino gasps and blushes, her hand jumping up to cover her mouth. Sai is silent for a moment until Karin asks,

"Do you have anything to say, Sai?"

Sai gives Ino a sad look as he says in a soft voice, "I'm sorry Ino... I was lying when I said you were beautiful... I just don't think girls are pretty. I hope we can still be friends." he adds a smile at the end. Naruto gasps but he is the only one who seems surprised at Sai's sexual orientation.

Ino's eyes widen and she collapses in her chair. Everyone watches her for a few minutes then finally she looks up and mutters in a voice barely above a whisper,

"What does this mean? If all the good guys in Konoha are... gay... Who are we supposed to date!?"

Sakura looks at her friend pityingly then says with a frown, "You weren't listening, were you? You call all these guys the 'good guys' but, when have any of them ever given any of us the time of day? Sai just told you to your face that he thinks your ugly. They aren't great guys if they don't like us. We've been fooling ourselves this whole time! We need guys who like us for us!"

The whole room is quiet as Sakura continues her speech. She looks very determined as she says,

"Think about guys like Choji! He has never once called you fat. He thinks you're too skinny! He's nice, he's smart, he's reliable and he really likes you Ino. But you just won't give him the time of day because you're obsessed with chasing after jerks like this- no offense Sai."

"Non taken." Sai replies.

"We need to break the cycle. We need guys who, frankly, aren't emotionally constipated, and not... gay."

There is silence in the room for a minute then someone starts clapping. The others join in until they are all cheering about Sakura's speech. Ino is crying while Ten-Ten rubs her back, trying to relax her. Above them, Naruto makes a face.

"Is this all their going to do? Booooring. We should get out before they start having a sob-fest all over the place."

"Wait." Kakashi says as the girls all calm down and Karin stands in front of the blackboard with the chalk in her hand.

"Ok," She says. "Now that that's done. We can get to what we really came here to do. Since we've established that all the pretty boys in Konoha are probably, or definitely, gay, we can move on. We don't have to make this a bad thing! We can use good ol' willpower to transform this into the most amazing thing ever."

"How, you ask?" Sakura winks. "It's quite simple. Wherever there are gay guys, there are the possibility of yaoi. And once you get that, you can go anywhere with them!"

Karin nods excitedly as the girls in the audience begin to get the idea. "Think about it! What's better than one hot guy? Two hot guys... making out!"

A ripple of swoons and oohs and aahs go through the crowd. A few blushes and giggles are mixed in and Tsunade just looks thoughtful.

"We can pair guys together, then we can even try to get them together! Then, we can follow them around and spy on them when they do cute things like snuggle and hold hands!"

"And then!" she says triumphantly, "Think about them having sex!" she squeals along with a few others.

Naruto sighs. "You were right Kakashi-sensei. Yaoi club. These chicks are terrifying. They're down there talking about stalking people! Crazy!"

The guys nod then glance down at the now very excited crowd. Ino isn't crying anymore, she looks determined. Karin and Sakura exchange a few whispers and looks like they are arguing for a moment then they break apart and Karin whistles to quiet the room.

"We want to start by pairing the guys on the board. We're starting with Sai, since he's here. Any suggestions?"

Sai frowns a little and stops them. "Wait, aren't I allowed to pick my own lover?"

A few girls swoon when he says lover. Sakura and Karin looks surprised but Sakura shakes it off and replies,

"S- sure... do you have someone you like?"

Sai smiles. "Naruto-kun."

Naruto's eyes pop open, followed by his mouth. Kiba, Rock Lee, Kakashi and Yamato all laugh quietly at him.

"Why Naruto?" Sakura asks, frowning.

"Naruto-kun is very strong. He always does what he says and he doesn't judge people. He makes me laugh and he's friends with me even though I was such a bastard to him in the beginning. I think he's really cute too..."

"Aaawww..." the crowd coos. Naruto even smiles a bit under his blush. Then he frowns.

"Did that idiot just call me cute?"

The others ignore him as they listen to what Sakura says next. She is still not really smiling.

"I... can understand how you would feel that way about Naruto. He's a very nice person. There was a time when I really liked him as well. But... I don't know if I really see him ever being with you, Sai."

Sai just smiles at her. "I know." he replies, then they share a meaningful glance, and she smiles back. Karin then sighs.

"Well if you can't have Naruto, who would you want?"

Sai tilts his head. "I don't know..."

"What about Kiba?" Hana Inuzuka asks.

"Kiba isn't gay!" Tsume says back.

Kiba flinches and glares at his sister then says in an exasperated voice, "Thank you, mother."

Tsume then looks thoughtful and she glances down muttering quietly, "Though... there is an old Inuzuka legend, stating that if an Inuzuka shinobi's animal is the same gender as the ninja themselves, it means they will end up with the same gender as a lover. I don't think I've ever told Kiba that... But it did surprise me when he chose Akamaru as his dog... I wonder..."

Kiba is wide eyed. He had definitely never heard that before! He wonders why no one had ever told him. Then he thinks about it, and realizes he is the only one he knows with a dog that is the same gender. His mother and sister have boy dogs, and they are straight girls. His father had had a strong female dog. Kiba finds himself very surprised. He had just never thought about it before.

"I'm not gay!" He yells at his mom even though he knows she can't hear him.

"Calm down Kiba." Yamato says in a flat tone. "She said it was just a legend."

Kiba scowls and nods. Yamato is probably right... he thinks, anyways, I like girls!

Sai shakes his head. "No... I don't think I could handle Kiba. He's too wild. Plus, he's not exactly the girly type, if you know what I mean."

Karin raises an eyebrow. "Are you saying you only like to be the guy in the relationship."

Sai shrugs. "Not necessarily. It depends on the circumstances. Like, if It was Kakashi-sensei-"

There is loud shrieking and Sai covers his ears until the girls are done. He then stares at them like they are crazy. Karin's face is gleeful as she says,

"Sorry, but did you say Kakashi-sensei? As in, your sensei? We fangirls love stuff like that. It just makes the story better to have a 'forbidden' relationship or something."

Sai just stares at her then clears his throat, "As I was saying, if It was Kakashi-sensei, I would probably be the girl, because he's older than me. It just makes sense that way."

"True." Kakashi mutters above him. "But who knew Sai thinks like that?"

They all nod in shock then Karin asks,

"So... do you like Kakashi?"

Sai smiles. "I think both Kakashi-sensei and Yamato-sensei are nice, good looking people. I wouldn't mind fucking either one of them."

The room erupts in squeals. Hinata faints and Tsunade laughs out loud until she has tears rolling down her cheeks. Kakashi laughs as well and the others stare at him in disbelief.

"What?" he asks. "It's funny. Sai is very vulgar. And the girls are right. Student/teacher relationships are hot. Jiraiya-sama wrote a book about it once..."

He turns to Yamato and finds him looking very awkward and aghast at what Sai said. When Kakashi tries to talk to him all Yamato can say back is,

"Sai... rude... so vulgar... not hot... wrong!"

Kakashi chuckles then he glances back down at the room where Ino had just gotten a very sneaky look in her eye as she says,

"You know... now that we are talking about taboo relationships between master and pupil... Do you have anything you want to say, Sakura?"

Sakura looks up, surprised. Then she turns a dark red and looks down.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about!"

Ino smirks and stands up, poking Sakura until the pink haired girl growls, "Fine! I- I have a crush on Kakashi-sensei..."

Kakashi's eyes widen and underneath his mask his mouth pops open with a small, "Oh..."

The room erupts once again with giggles and laughter. Sakura smiles and blushes even more when Sai asks,

"Since when?"

She looks shy as she replies, "Since... Well I was working in the hospital the other day and I saw him... changing. He- he was really hot without his shirt on. I just really wish I'd seen his face! But I can't get the image out my head now and I'm afraid I'm acting weird around him."

Kakashi still cannot believe his ears. Next to him, Lee sighs.

"Well, I guess that's it for my plan to marry Sakura..."

Kakashi snaps out of his shock to look caring as he says,

"Don't say that. Sakura has a lot of whims. I mean, she was so in love with Sasuke and then she just moved on from him to Naruto. And now she's crushing on me? I'm sure she'll be over it in a few weeks."

"No, no!" Rock Lee says, smiling. "I don't think so Kakashi-sensei! Don't you see it on her face? I don't think it's just a crush, she's serious. You should talk to her."

Yamato puts a hand on his shoulder and says, "He's right. Don't you think it's about time you stop being alone? You should talk to her."

Kakashi sighs then smiles at Yamato saying, "You should talk to Sai."

Yamato stiffens. "Touche..."

Suddenly a voice asks behind them,

"So... what have we missed?"
