"My dear eternal rival! How goes your youthful pursuit after your beloved Iruka?" bellowed a loud and booming voice.

'Just act calm Kakashi, and try not to snap at him,' thought Kakashi, trying to relax his nerves.

"Uh… hey Gai. My… pursuit… is going ok I guess," stated Kakashi flatly, as he returned to reading his book, Icha Icha Ecstasy.

'Here comes the good part,' Kakashi inwardly chided, eyes glued to his book. 'Koru is about to make Shinji his little sex kitten.'

"My dear, hip rival! I sense that you are stumped in your chase after the fair Iruka!" Gai all but whispered.

'Wait, how did he know?' thought the scarecrow, 'And what's up with the whole "fair Iruka" business? He better not be coming onto my man!' Kakashi seethed to himself.

With a loud sigh, Kakashi finally spoke, "yes Gai, I'm stumped on what to get Iruka next. I presented him with a chocolate dolphin already. And for the record Gai, Iruka is mine and mine only, so back off!" Kakashi growled out, in fear of loosing HIS fair Iruka.

"…," Gai was on total shock at Kakashi's outburst. He was also so surprised, that the way his eyebrows flew up into his hairline, it looked as if they would drop off. "My dear rival!" He was finally able to say, after recovering from his shock, "I would never think of stealing Iruka away from you! That thought has never crossed my mind once! Well, now that I think about it, Iruka is awfully beautiful though… I mean the way his eyes twinkle when he is in a joyful mood and-"

Kakashi decided to interrupt Gai in the middle of his rambling.

"Gai, be a dear and shut-up. Now, there's still the problem of what to get Iruka next," Kakashi stated, letting out a sigh at his confused state of mind.

The two jounin sat together in the training ground that team 7 normally trains in. The only sounds that could be heard were the gentle rustling of the tree's leaves as the cool, crisp summer breeze blew through them, and the occasional sounds of the woodland animals that made their homes around these parts. Finally, after about an hour of thinking, Gai decided to speak.

"Kakashi," Gai stated, using his serious tone of voice, one that made Kakashi flinch, "you read and watch those cheesy romance films, do you not?"

"Uh yeah," was Kakashi's only reply.

"Well in most of them, the one being seduced always falls for a man who has a way with words," Gai smiled at him.

Kakashi just stared at Gai, mouth agape.

'Wow, he didn't even use the word "youth" in his sentence once… and his voice was normal!' thought Kakashi in disbelief, feeling a little frightened at Gai's sudden change.

"I can see that you don't know where I am going with this, so I'll just put it bluntly; write Iruka a poem."

Kakashi's eyes grew big, almost as big as Gai's eyebrows, and his mouth formed a perfect 'O.' To put it simply, he resembled a blow-up sex doll.

"No, absolutely not!" Kakashi yelled, "I'm horrible with words!"

"it doesn't matter, just as long as the poem comes from your heart," was Gai's only response as he slowly got up and left Kakashi alone at the training grounds to think over his words.

"Fine… I'll attempt writing a poem," Kakashi said to himself as he got up form his comfortable seat on the ground and slowly headed towards his apartment.

Later at Kakashi's Apartment

'Ok Kakashi, you can do this, II mean you're a jounin,' Kakashi thought to himself, trying to get himself pumped. In front of him, on his desk, lay a plain sheet of paper and a pen that wrote in red ink.

"Ok, maybe it would be easier if I work with his name… ok, let's do this!" Kakashi yelled excitedly, smiling at his "genius idea."

'Let's see, I. What words start with the letter I?' he questioned, the gears in his brain working on overdrive, 'Well, there's iguana, igloo, insect… no. I need something that has to do with him… I got it! Infatuated,' Kakashi wrote the word onto the sheet of paper, 'Ok R. R could stand for really, really, really, really sexy… no, that's too immature. What words describe Iruka? Well, there's hot, sexy, sweet, reliable- reliable! Ok, ok, now onto U,' Kakashi thought, smiling at how easy this was going.

When he finally finished and pieced the poem together, which took about two hours, even WITH his genius abilities, he headed down the street to sneakily deliver his poem into Iruka's house. On his way, he passed by the Yamanaka flower shop.

'Roses are always in those romance films, so why not buy some as an added bonus?' He questioned himself, eyes crinkling up to show that he was smiling. After purchasing a bouquet of a dozen ruby-red roses wrapped in golden silk, and having to avoid Ino's annoying questions, such as, "Kakashi sensei, are you dating?,' and "Who's the lucky lady?" Kakashi continued his quest towards Iruka's apartment with a smile on his face.
