Invaded
Almost nearing to the end of this story, hope you enjoy this chapter. I do not own Naruto, just like to use his creations for my own non-profitable enjoyment.
Gai had waved goodbye to Kakashi and immediately dropped down to do push-ups. Kakashi had told him about what he found about last night.
"I had to wait for hours before they even spoke about you," Kakashi told him in an annoyed tone, "Ino is enlisting Tenten's help in getting to you. She's going to let you stew for a couple of days before she comes at you." Kakashi had stared at him for a long moment, "She genuinely likes you."
"How is that possible?" Gai said mostly to himself.
"You got me but that's what I heard. You can relax for a few days Gai." Looking to the sky he hummed to himself, "Well I'm off I have to go see the Hokage, have an appointment with her at three."
"Kakashi your two hours late!"
"I prefer to think of it as savoring Konoha's scenery." He said shrugging before waving a goodbye jumping onto a nearby tree.
And here he was doing the one thing that had always helped him clear his mind. Focusing on the movement of his muscles he felt unburdened until thoughts slowly started to trickle in. A small frown started forming on his face as his body continued doing push-ups. Did knowing that Ino was actually, genuinely, interested him make any difference? No how could he be with her. He knew that she was a woman of her own mind, but he couldn't accept the fact that she wanted him. She was so beautiful to be interested in a man like him. His hands were large and callous, and he was strong, too strong. What if he accidentally hurt her? Gai shut his eyes tightly at the thought. Of course the fact that she was a kunoichi didn't cross his mind, at the moment he was seeing her as a flower so delicate that with one wrong move would be crushed.
What he didn't know is that Ino didn't want to be handled gently, not by him.
So engrossed was he in his thoughts that he barely had time to dodge the body that came rushing at him. Going into a fighting stance he narrowed his eyes at the person before he really looked at the intruder. His eyes widened slightly and he began to turn away, but he wasn't fast enough to avoid her Mind Body Switch Technique. Suddenly he felt his mind invaded by the blonde haired woman. He was dimly aware of their bodies becoming still as statues facing each other in an unblinking stare. He lost the feeling of his body as he was surrounded by darkness. He saw himself materialized and looked around himself curiously. He knew she was there in the darkness of his mind, watching him like a beast does with their prey, waiting for the opportune moment to attack. It was a bit worrying.
"Why?"
He jumped slightly at her voice, he turned in a circle trying, and failing, to spot her. "Because this thing you feel for me is turning into an obsession, and I'm worried about how you will react when things don't go your way." He said as his face set into a frown. He felt, actually felt, her annoyance before it was swept away by a thoughtful mood.
"Do you know why I did this?"
He shook his head, knowing that she would see him.
"I know that you will never believe me, believe that I actually want you, so what better way then to let you into my mind by invading yours." She said with a mischievous tone.
Gai drew in a startled breath and was about to protest before Ino drew him in. He was assaulted by emotion, thoughts, images and everything that was Ino. He saw her in the hospital working before Ibiki demanded that she work for him. He felt her sadness by her father's avoidance of her after she got his position. He saw her hunched over in the doorway peeking at him as he stretched in his hospital room. He felt her surprise and dismissal as she walked away. He felt her joy at working in the Torture and Interrogation department, but accepted that that was all she showed him. He saw her going on dates with other men and felt how she was slowly comparing them to him, and feeling unsatisfied after spending the night with them. He saw when she began to become angry at herself, talking to herself, for not being able to get him out of her head. He felt her desperation at finding that thoughts of Sasuke no longer made her yearn for him, but thinking of him made her feel anxious. He felt her slip more into confusion as she forced herself to go on dates and could not pay attention, or find herself caring for it. He saw that she had finally stopped seeing men and began stalking him, intent on figuring out why she was so interested in him. He felt how her body would become alive whenever she felt him nearby, and he was surprised that she endured that for months. He felt her dark passion for him, he saw her fantasies of him pining her down, and her excitement when she and Tenten were at the sex store. He saw himself, through her eyes, as he was dragged into that dark closet. He felt how his body felt to her; it was as if he was in her body. He felt how she pressed her chest against his own and felt heat from where they touched. He felt her nipples harden with want and how desperately she wanted to feel his skin on hers. He felt her heart racing impossibly fast at being finally near him, at being to finally touch him. He felt how aroused she got, how wet she got, when she began moving her hips against him, how she felt satisfaction at last when her lips molded over his. He felt her body tighten with need, then with anger at him when he said that nothing would ever happen between them. He felt her smugness when he couldn't' deny her and felt her reluctance to part with him.
Being hit with emotion after emotion, experience after experience, thought after thought, he began to get light headed. I don't think I can handle anymore, he thought to himself as he clenched his jaw. Immediately after this thought he felt himself being gently pushed out of her mind.
"Sorry about that, I didn't mean to show you so much, especially since you've never been inside someone else's mind." She said apologetic.
Gai breathed heavily and felt a cool hand on his forehead. Opening his eyes he saw her as she let her body become visible. He gazed into her green eye, the other still hidden behind her curtain of hair. He wished he could see her face without all that hair hiding it. He smiled as she pulled her hair away to grant his request. "It's slightly disturbing to know that you can hear my thoughts.
"Sorry." She said but he felt that she wasn't sorry at all. "Time for me to leave if I stay any longer you'll have a migraine the entire day." With that dismissal he felt his control over himself returning and no sign of her at all. His senses came rushing back and shook his head.
"You okay?" He heard her ask as she walked to him.
Opening his eyes he saw that she had pulled all of her hair back into her pony tail and felt lost. He had just experienced something so intimate with her and he didn't even know if he could say no to her ever again. He had seen too much of her, felt too much of her, to know that she would never stop until he was hers. "Ino you're such a beastly woman." he found himself voicing his thoughts.
Ino stopped surprised at what he said. She frowned at him, "…You just make me want to chase you; to make you mine and no one else's. I can't help it."
Gai felt slightly embarrassed that he called the gorgeous woman in front of him a beast. His attention was snatched by her again as she stepped close to him, so close that if he took a deep breath he would touch her.
"I'm going to ask you again Gai; do you want me to stop? Do you want me or not?" She asked him so heartbreakingly soft.
Gai found himself cupping her face and leaning down. He stared into her green eyes before kissing her. How could he say no to her? How could he when he wanted her so much?
He felt her soft lips surrender to him without a fight, felt her tongue lick his lips asking to be let in. He groaned lightly as he opened his mouth and met her tongue with his. He pulled her closer to him and did what he always wanted to do; he pulled her hair out of its confine and felt it fall. He moaned as he pushed his hands in and pulled her head back sharply. He heard her gasp and leaned back to take the sight of her in, and what a sight it was.
Her eyes were half-lidded with pleasure, her greens eyes darkened with lust. Her soft lips were slightly red and open as she panted softly. Her hair, her beautiful thick hair, was like a sea of sunlight dripping down her body. His eyes ran down her body; her chest was moving in time with her pants, down her visible pale toned stomach. Past her round hips were her hair came to an end, continuing to her firm thighs and calves.
He felt her shiver as he inspected her. He twirled her around and pushed her hard against the tree that was behind them. He stared down at her and didn't know what to feel as he noticed that she was patiently waiting for whatever he wanted to do with her. He buried his face in her hair and took a deep breath of her spicy scent. He felt as if he could get lost in her hair, there was so much of it. Tangling one hand in it, the other he moved slowly down her neck, Ino gave a violent shiver there he noted, past her chest slightly brushing against the side of her breasts; caressing her waist and settling on her hips. He tightened his hold on her hips and pushed past her hair to get to the slender fair neck. He gave a long lick, hearing her whisper a dark yes, before giving her a hard bite. He had to clamp down hard on her hip and push her against the bark as she lurched against him roughly. He felt her finally move her arms to his neck. She used him to pull herself up so she could wrap her firm legs around his waist. He moaned as he let go of her neck and gave her hard kiss.
Ino took his kiss and bit down on his lip hard. She tightened her legs around him grinding against his rising excitement, moaning loudly. He moved along with her, thrust for thrust, going faster and harder by the second as his grip on her hair tightened. He felt her nails dig into his neck and moaned in her mouth, his tongue sliding against hers. He pulled her hips closer to his as he pushed up hard and got a long moan from her. He moved his head away from her, stopping his movements. He rested his head against the tree bark and tried to fill his lungs with oxygen. He felt her breathe against his shoulder and suddenly became aware of how hot he was under his jumpsuit. He felt the sweat trail down the spine of his back. He breathed in through his nose and was flooded with their scents mixed together. Spice and earth combining to form a scent that smelled animalistic.
That's how he would describe this attraction between the two. "We need to stop." He said, surprised that his voice had deepened into a hoarse.
"Why?" She replied in a husky tone before she trailed soft kisses on his jaw.
"We're in the middle of a training ground, where anyone can see us."
"So I don't care, let them see so they'll know that your mine and I'm yours." He heard her say, surprised to hear excitement in her voice.
"No Ino." He snapped leaving no room for her to object. He felt her growl slightly in frustration before feeling her nod against him.
"Spoilsport." She murmured before hugging him, unwinding her legs from him.
Loosening his iron like grip on her he stared down at her. She lowered her hand from his neck and down his chest. He was still hard for her and she noticed.
"I can take care of it for you." She said giving him a devilish look.
Smiling at her he pushed her hair behind her ear and shook his head. "No Ino."
"You say no a lot Gai." Ino said with a small frown.
"Deal with it, now go devil woman." He saw her give him a quick bright smile before slipping away from him. Not moving he heard her say something to him that had his blood boiling.
"You know although its fun being the aggressor, I'm getting tired of it. Feels like you won't ever be the one doing the taking, feels like you're the one that needs to be treated with kiddy gloves so I won't crush you." She said with a mockingly.
He bared his teeth and clenched his hands into hard fists. Who the hell did she think she was talking to him like that, as if he were some novice that was breakable. He turned ready to tear into her but saw that she was no where to be seen. He was finding that she could be incredibly fast and silent when she needed to be. He narrowed his eyes angrily, "Oh Ino by the time I'm done with you you'll be begging me to treat you with kiddy gloves."
xXx
Meanwhile hidden behind leaves, Kakashi and Tenten didn't move from there spot until much later in the night. Damn paranoid shinobi, Tenten thought standing from her crouched position. Tenten heard her bones crack with a light groan. She stretched her bruised muscles, courtesy from the man next to her, and felt a slight twinge of joy from the soreness. She felt just a tad guilty for spying on the two but she was curious as to why Gai made Ino lose her mind. She had never blushed so much then she did by watching them. She hoped Kakashi didn't notice. Speaking about him she turned to look at him. "What are you still doing down there?"
Kakashi took his time to look up at her, "Just taking it all in." He ignored her look and slowly stood. "That was interesting I wonder what Ino said to Gai to make him so angry?"
"Knowing Ino it could be anything." Tenten said with a grimace.
"Hmmmm..." Giving Tenten a parting look he began tree hopping, the best way of transport.
"Where are you going?" Tenten asked awkwardly. She immediately regretted asking him, he was Kakashi of course he wouldn't be interested in hanging out with her.
Kakashi stopped and looked at her over his shoulder. "I was going to get take-out and head home."
"Oh." She said softly before giving him a small wave, "Cool then I guess I'll see you around?"
Kakashi turned around, "You can come with, I always order too much food and it ends up going bad."
"Really?" Tenten said in disbelief before hurrying after him, "Ok." She said with a grin.
Kakashi gave her a look before heading off, Tenten right behind him.

Gai was furious. He swore that she was doing this on purpose. She was testing his patience and he was so close to snapping. She had been ambushing him for the past couple of weeks. He always took care to look out for her but just when he thought he was safe there she was, with that damnable smirk of hers. It was almost as if she knew where he was going to be. He didn't put it past her to follow him non-stop, but even she had to rest. He also didn't put it past Kakashi to tell her where he was but that was one headache he didn't want to deal with. He was getting paranoid, Kakashi-level paranoid; paranoid to the point that he had tackled Naruto face-down to the ground more than once thinking it was her. Naruto had made it a point to shout that it was him and dodge anyway in the times that he didn't say it fast enough for Gai to hear him. He was going insane with the paranoia. He nearly cried with joy at receiving a two-week escort mission. He was able to let loose his frustration as their group was ambushed by bandits.
He had already accepted Ino and her beastly attitude towards him, but by God he wasn't a slab of meat! He carefully made his way to the mission tower to report the success of his mission; if you can call him running at his fastest speed carefully. Reporting in he made his way to the one place that Ino wouldn't be able to sneak up on him, the Hyuuga compound.
It was a matter of pride now, how was it that a Chunin level kunoichi was able to creep on him undetected? He's Jonin-level, one of the elite for fucksakes! She's trying to break me, he thought to himself as he paced the guest room that Hiashi had let him use.
"Do you want to talk about it Gai-sensei?" Neji asked as he watched his teacher go back and forth. Lately his teacher wasn't himself; he was prone to cursing at odd times and constantly on edge. Neji, because even though he thought Gai was the most embarrassing and ridiculous man he had ever met, made as much noise as possible when approaching him. He respected the man too much, him and his power, to approach him silently when he was in this mood. He was above all a Jonin, and a damn good one to still be alive after two wars. Concern graced Neji's handsome face as he tucked his hands into his voluminous sleeves.
Gai stomped down on the urge to curse and glanced at his student. Sighing he threw himself, quite dramatically, onto the bed. "Neji! My student! If only I could!"
Neji released a breath of relief. There was the overly dramatic teacher he knew. He watched from his post by the door as Gai had spread himself onto the bed and covered his face like a child. Shaking his head he walked into the room and leaned against the dresser. "Gai-sensei what happened to 'our bonds can only become stronger by our youthful display of camaraderie?'" He saw Gai stiffen and smirked, I got you old man now spill.
"You are right Neji, how could I be so foolish as to forget my own youthful teachings?" Gai said with a dark look. "FORGIVE ME! I'LL RUN FIVE HUNDRED LAPS AROUND THE VILLAGE ON MY HA-"
"NO!" Neji shouted. Seeing that he now had Gai's attention he quickly acted, "No Gai just sit down and talk." Seeing Gai slump back onto the bed Neji relaxed, he really dodged a bullet there.
"Neji…have you ever had….feelings for a…." Gai said slowly.
Neji frowned, if the man was going to ask him what he thought he was going to ask he would sixty-four palms his ass out of the compound!
"…for a…woman?"
Neji closed his eyes in relief before snapping them open in outrage. "Why do you ask me as if it's so difficult to believe that I could have feelings for a woman? Who do you expect for me to have feelings for?"
"Neji know that I will support you no matter what. I think he's a good person if a bit eccentric, but whoever makes you happy." Gai said with an earnest face.
Neji nearly chocked on his spit, "What the hell?" He surged forward and gripped the front of Gai's jumpsuit hard before pulling him up high into the air so that his teachers feet barely touched the ground, "Gai you're going to tell me everything you think you now about me and my 'choice'."
Gai talked quickly, telling him that everyone thought that because his constant disdain of women he batted for the other team. Particularly to a loud blue eyed blonde who just happened to be Konoha's unpredictable ninja. Neji was mad enough to spit nails as he lowered Gai and paced. He forced himself to calm down and took deep breaths, "Gai we'll deal with that later but for now tell me what's happening with you." Seeing that the man was going to say he was fine he snapped, "Don't you dare lie to me Gai."
"It's Ino."
Neji blinked in confusion, "What does she…," and it was as if a light bulb was flipped in his brain. Of course, he had saw her trailing them more than once when she thought that no one was watching her, no one could hide from his eyes after all. He thought that it was strange, at first thinking that she was stalking them because of him, but then as he watched her watching them he saw that she wasn't paying him any attention. He had shrugged it off but now it was all coming together. "She likes you." He said with wonder.
"Likes would have been too simple no she doesn't like me, she wants me. Like a lion wants its prey, Like a moth to a flame, like a dog wants its bitch, like a-"
"I get the picture,' Neji said quickly, "So….your saying that Ino's the alpha and you're her bitch?" Neji said a smirk on his lips and as chuckled lowly.
Gai frowned as he told Neji everything that happened since that day when he and Kakashi had overheard Ino and Tenten talking. At the end of it all he just slumped onto the bed, "Damnit all to hell."
"I would have never have thought Gai, but then again with how you dress and act I always thought you were in love with Hatake."
Gai jolted upward with a disgusted look on his face, "Kakashi?! No! That's just…No!"
Neji laughed at his teacher before staring at him, "Do you want her?"
Gai tensed and released a long breath, "Yes."
"Then what's the problem?"
Gai gave him a look that Neji had rarely ever gotten, the look of are-you-seriously-asking-me-that? "She had the audacity to tell me that she was tired of making the moves and that I was the one that needed to be treated with kiddy gloves!"
"So basically you're mad that she called you a weak bitch." Neji said with a knowing nod.
Gai's expression darkened, "Who the hell does she think she is talking to me that way?
Does she have any idea who I am? I'm Might Gai damnit!"
Neji watched in fascination as Gai cursed and damned Ino to hell. "Gai there's a simple solution to this. You're a man, you're a Jonin, and this isn't your first rodeo so to say; why are you letting her treat you this way?"
Gai looked at him, "She's a young woman Neji…and well…look at me." Looking down at himself he saw his large calloused hands, hands that have seen more than its share of blood. "I could seriously harm h-" He never got to finish, getting punched in the face tended to do that.
"Gai listen to me very carefully." Neji said slowly. "Ino is a kunoichi. She works with I&T Department, you don't get into that bunch by being weak. She's strong and knows the risks of involving herself with a Jonin with a habit of being overzealous. From what you've told me it's what she likes about you. Now do you want my advice?" Seeing Gai's nod he continued, "Turn the tables on her. You stalk her and ambush her." Gai looked at Neji with wide eyes. "Don't look at me that way, just because I know how to proceed with decorum in public doesn't mean I don't know anything else."
"Your right Neji, I've been letting her run rampant and if she's going to be with me she has to learn that she can't speak to me that way…unless I allow it." Seeing Neji nod in the corner of his eye he stood and pulled the long haired man into a bone crushing hug. "THANKYOU NEJI! HOW THE YOUTH BURNS BRIGHTLY WITHIN YOU!"
Getting up to set his plan in action he didn't expect the hand coming down onto his shoulder with iron like strength.
"Oh what's this? Did you forget that you still have to tell me why the fuck everyone seems too think that not only am I gay but interested in Naruto?" Neji said darkly.
Gai gulped and started to sweat, "W-well you see Neji…"
xXx
Talking with Neji had really helped him. Gai limped into his room and didn't bother in trying to remove his jumpsuit. Neji had gotten a little upset that everyone thought that he was head over heels in love with Naruto. Knowing that his body was covered in small red dots Gai closed his eyes. Tomorrow is a new day, with new possibilities. Smiling in the dark he dreamt of long blonde hair and vibrant green eyes.
xXx
Ino woke up to find a bouquet of flowers on top of her dresser. She stared at the flowers for a long moment before slowly sliding out of her bed and making her way to it. Her mind was blank as she stared down at them, unsure to touch it. She didn't know how long she stood there staring at the flowers before her mother came to a stop next to her.
Hanako had called out to Ino more than once before she made her way upstairs. As she neared her daughter she noticed the flowers, "Oh sweetheart, they're beautiful." Her mother asked softly, "When did you work on it?"
Ino's throat felt tight as she forced the words out, "I didn't make it."
Hanako gasped slightly as she looked from the flowers to her only child. She gently hugged her and kissed her head, "My sweet baby, I'm so happy for you."
Ino felt her breath hitch and closed her eyes. She opened them quickly, afraid that the flowers would disappear. She slowly reached out to touch their petals, humming in answer as her mother went to get a vase.
The flowers were tied together by a white ribbon. The brilliant purple Bachelor Buttons was the backdrop of the bouquet. Strands of the lavender, white pink stained Hydrangea's cut through along with the pure white Tuberose. Nearly at the bottom were clustered the greenish yellow Ivy flowers, and four pink roses were arranged in the middle of the bouquet.
"Bachelor Button, anticipation," She touched the purple flowers, "Hydrangea, perseverance," She shifted to touch the lavender petals, "Tuberose, pleasure," Her fingertips grazed the pure white flower and lastly, "Ivy, fidelity and pink rose's happiness and trust."
"Here darling, put them in the vase." Hanako said as she put the vase down next to the flowers. She watched silently as Ino gently lifted the bouquet and smelled them before placing them in the vase. "He must be something special to take the time to make you a bouquet."
Ino stared at the flowers, "Yeah he is. He's more than I expected." She laughed, "He's more than anyone expects. He's so unique, there's no one like him."
Hanako looked at her daughter, "Who is he?" She looked on as her daughter tensed for a second before relaxing. "He's a shinobi isn't he?"
Ino turned to face her mother. Her mother was elegant, soft brown hair tastefully done up in a bun, and light brown eyes; so civilian. "He is. He's someone everyone knows of, it's kinda hard to miss him."
"Oh my word is it that Hatake boy?" Hanako gasped.
"What no! I mean yes he's handsome but no, it's not him."
"The Uzumaki?"
"No way in hell."
"Oh don't tell me it's that Aburame child?" Hanako whispered. "Because I mean to say, I would support you no matter what love, but remember that he's a clan heir like you. There would be trouble because of it."
"Mom no! It's Might Gai!" Ino shouted.
Hanako stared at her for a long moment before blinking rapidly. "Might Gai, the green man?"
Ino sighed a yes and waited for the protests. Hearing none she looked to her mother and saw that she had a small smile gracing her face.
"Well…how unexpected."
"You're not mad? Disappointed?"
"No, he took the time to make this beautiful flower arrangement for you. Any man who took the time and pain to make this is one hell of a man in my eyes. I just wonder what your father will say." Hanako stated before breathing a sigh of relief, "At least he's not from a clan, so there won't be a problem with that."
Ino looked away. She hadn't thought about what her father would say about her and Gai. She felt herself smile, her and Gai. She laughed softly; she didn't remember how long it had been since she had been so happy.
Hanako didn't say anything as she saw Ino radiate happiness. She slowly walked out of the room leaving Ino to her thoughts. She would support her if Inoichi tried to stop her baby from being happy with that green man. Closing the door she made her way downstairs to start on breakfast humming a happy tune.
xXx
He had Ino chasing after shadows and jumping in surprise whenever he sneaked up on her to steal a kiss. He had passed by her house later on that night and was pleased to see that the bouquet that he had spent hours on was proudly displayed on her dresser.
He had at first been wary that Naruto had known about the language of flowers, but considering that the boy had his own private garden and half of his apartment was filled with plants he decided to shut up and just take it. Of course Kakashi just happened to be in the neighborhood and had tried to sneak in some cactus flowers in. He had shut that down quickly; he was giving her a floral demonstration of what he was feeling not a sexual invitation.
"You're telling me that you don't feel lust and don't want to have sex with Ino?" Kakashi had said in disbelief.
"That's a load of crap if you ask me." Naruto added.
"Well no one asked you." Gai snapped before rubbing his face. "Look these are going to her house, where her mother and more importantly father live. They don't need to know that I do."
So after many grueling hours the bouquet was ready and was expertly dropped off at her house. Now here he was lying on his back on his bed smiling like a giant fool. Lifting his arm he gave his ceiling his infamous good guy pose, "I'm pretty amazing." Letting his arm drop he turned to his side and lost himself to his dreams.
xXx
Kakashi woke up to the birds singing and light streaming through his window. Groaning he covered his face with his covers and had half a mind to send a fire jutsu to barbeque the birds. "It's too early for this crap." He groaned as he rolled himself in a cocoon of warmth. Rubbing his feet together he felt himself falling back into the deep dark oblivion that was sleep before a resounding knock jolted him out of it. Slowly opening his eye he waited a few beats before trying once more to fall asleep before another knock, louder than the last one, destroyed that dream. "Someone's dying today." He muttered lowly as he rolled out of bed and pulled on his mask. Looking through the peep hole he shook his head and looked again. No such luck that it was a hallucination. Gai was there standing at his door with a smile on his face. Opening his door Kakashi leaned against the frame and casually stated, "Any last words before I kill you?" Gai the fool just gave him an indulgent smile. Yeah the green fool was going to die in the most painful way he could manage.
"Kakashi! Good morning! Why are you still in bed? Don't you see how wondrous this morning is?!" Gai shout as he pushed his way into Kakashi's apartment.
Lord give me strength, Kakashi thought to himself as he shut his door and watched as his best friend began to make his bed. Resisting the urge to drop kick Gai in the face he turned away from the ridiculous scene and headed to his bathroom. As he did his morning business he contemplated jumping out his window for a quick escape; but Gai seemed to sense his ideas for freedom as he shouted for him to hurry up and get out of the bathroom. Feeling his patience run out Kakashi snapped, "Gai if you don't shut the fuck up and let me take of my business I swear that I am going to break every bone in your body and shave your hair off!" Releasing a drawn out sigh he thanked God for the silence that followed. Walking calmly out of the bathroom he saw Gai demurely, and wasn't that just the weirdest sight Kakashi said to himself, standing by the kitchen table. "Now what do you need Gai?" Gai shyly, Kakashi couldn't believe his eye, looked away as a blush came on his face. Kakashi felt his stomach drop and twist.
"You're smooth, handsome, cool and experienced Kakashi."
Kakashi's sense of survival was flaring madly and he had the strong urge to knock Gai out.
"So I thought who better than you to help me."
Kakashi felt his hand begin to sweat and still he didn't move or change his expression.
"Help you?"
Gai gave him a small smile, "Yes…please help me."
Kakashi stared at him, "Gai…how do I say this nicely….you have to be more specific in what you want me to help you with."
Gai gave him a nervous glance, "A date."
"A date."
"Yes…teach me how to go on a date."
"Are you asking me out?"
"Yes."
"Gai."
"Kakashi?"
"I'm going to kill you now."
Gai dodged a kunai before he jumped onto the ceiling to avoid a knee to the face. "Kakashi wait!"
"I don't think I want to."
"Kakashi listen to me! I need to know how so I can take Ino out on a date." Gai pleaded as he dropped onto the floor, smoothly going into a roll to avoid a slew of kunai.
Kakashi paused and cocked his head, just like his Nin dogs were prone to do. "Let me get this straight. You want to go on a date with me so you can successfully go on a date with Ino?" Seeing Gai nod Kakashi closed his eye as he rubbed his forehead. This was why he hated mornings; Gai always had shit haired plans in the morning. "Gai that is the most disturbing plan to date, I'm a man and she's a woman. How did you even think this was going to work?" Gai blushed as he stuttered. "Exactly." Kakashi stressed as he opened his freezer and pulled out his sake bottle. Not bothering with a cup he chugged from the bottle.
"It's the morning Kakashi!" Gai exclaimed scandalized.
"With you I need to carry a bottle of liquor 24/7." Kakashi set the bottle down and sat down on a chair. "Gai listen, and listen closely," he said slowly as if speaking to a child, "You make a reservation at a nice restaurant, find Ino and ask her to dinner, go home and change out of the green suit," he stressed that part it wouldn't do to make Ino remember their first date like that, "Pick her up from her house and head to the restaurant and have a nice time."
"But-"
"No buts Gai! You came to me for help and I'm helping you. So just go and do what I told you to do."
"Okay…" Gai said with a smile. Walking to the door Gai looked over his shoulder at Kakashi who looked as if he was run over by a hundred Naruto's, "Thank you friend."
Kakashi looked up and nodded at him before Gai silently left his house. Letting his head drop onto the table Kakashi groaned, "The things I do for that idiot."
I got the info about the language of flowers from the meaning of flowers and the wikipedia page on Hanakotoba. R&R!
