I want to thank my faithful and very patient reviewers at this time: Mojo817, the Paranoid Android (They were buttermilk Eggos), HyPerPunnkGRL, who obviously likes Oreos on pancakes (that sounds good right now…), UnboundWings, who is faithful to Deep Thought's Ultimate Answer, even through trial and persecution, and Tobi-Uchiha, for seeing Iruka's art of cat-burning as what it truly is. And now, to the part you actually care about:

All I Want is My Two Front Teeth

It was another beautiful morning, thought Gai. Today he had to go to the academy, yes, but there he could always spread the joy of their youth to all of his classmates. First he got dressed, then he ate his breakfast, then he went to brush his teeth.

His teeth were very important to Gai. They never failed to reflect a ray of sunshine whenever he showed those pearly whites, and he knew that deep down, people envied them. You'd have to be crazy to look at Gai, and the first thing you think to yourself be something other than, "My, look at that smile! Doggone, I wish my teeth were like that!" Even blind people couldn't avoid their brightness.

Gai admired his teeth for a few minutes in the mirror. He smiled. He posed with his smile. He finally got out his toothbrush and started brushing.

That's when things got weird.

When he moved the brush across that perfect smile of his, he felt two of his teeth wiggle. The front ones. Gai stopped brushing and wiggled the two misbehaving teeth with his tongue.

They still moved.

"What IS this madness?" Gai asked himself. He tapped the teeth with his finger.

They tilted back.

Alarmed, Gai decided to stop brushing early that morning, and went to run his laps before going to the academy.

Kakashi was sitting in his usual seat, taking some notes on what his sensei was telling him.

Over on the other end of the classroom was Gai, who instead of taking notes, was poking himself in the mouth. His teeth were still quite loose. He had discovered that if he twisted his teeth enough, he could feel the gums underneath.

Then he twisted them too far.

"And class, that is why it is never a good idea to never shove a bomb kunai in your-"

"OH MY GOD."

The sensei stopped talking. Everyone was now looking up from their papers and looking in Gai's direction. The green beast seemed to be staring at something in his hands, his eyes were wide in panic, and his entire body was trembling.

"Er, Gai. If you want to say something you should raise your hand so I can-"

"I'M FALLING APART! LOOK AT ME! I'M DYING FROM THE INSIDES!" He shrieked. Kakashi gave him an awkward look. Gai sounded like he was having trouble making some of his words sound right.

Their sensei walked over to where Gai was seated and leaned over to see what he was so upset about. After whispering something in his ear, Gai got up and walked out of the classroom. The rest of the class looked at sensei expectantly, but he just carried on with the lesson. Eventually Gai came back with a little plastic baggie, and took back his regular seat until class was dismissed.

Iruka was taking a walk through the forest until he found a vending machine. He got a snack and turned to head back home, when he realized he couldn't because Gai was standing in the way.

"Where did you come from?" Iruka asked, surprised. "And why are you covering your mouth with your hand?"

"Iruka, you're smart, you're honest! Tell me… is it possible to die from, well… this?" Gai spoke with a lisp, but the author wasn't sure how to write this without making the dialog unreadable. So Iruka was forced to use his imagination to hear Gai talk when he saw the big gap in his teeth.

"So, you lost your front teeth, have you?"

"NO!" Gai looked offended. "I know where my teeth are, thank you!" He thrust the plastic baggie the nurse gave him, where his teeth were kept secure, into Iruka's face. "I wouldn't ever misplace my teeth! Even though sometimes my Grandma does…"

Iruka raised an eyebrow. "O-kay, well, if you know where your teeth are, then go tell your parents about it and put your teeth under your pillow."

"Why, does that help them go back into my head?"

"No Gai." Iruka sighed. "The Tooth Fairy will give you money."

"Oooh." Gai considered getting money in exchange for his teeth. It was a little nerve-wracking.

It had become late. Very late. It was the kind of late where all those interesting shows came on television. Gai was sitting up in his bed, wide-awake and paranoid. He had secured his teeth under his pillow as Iruka had instructed, but was having second thoughts. What if he never saw his teeth again? What if the Tooth Fairy didn't leave enough money? What if his teeth weren't enough, the Tooth Fairy would have to remove all of his teeth to be satisfied!

The doorknob on his room turned. Gai threw the covers over his head, pretending to be asleep. He wasn't going to let him win! He would attack the Fairy and take all of their money for himself! And as an added bonus, he could keep his teeth!

So when the Tooth Fairy tried to slip it's hand under his pillow, Gai grabbed their wrist and flung them across the dark room. The Fairy screamed in surprise. Gai threw the covers off of his head and grabbed the nearest heavy object; the lamp, and started beating that thieving Fairy over the head and kicking their sides.

"YOU WON'T BE KIDNAPPING MY TEETH!" Gai roared.

The next morning, Iruka woke up and got ready for school, then walked to the academy with Kakashi. It wasn't long until they both ran into Gai, who was looking shocked.

"Hey, Gai." Said Iruka. "Did the Tooth Fairy go to your house?"

Gai didn't respond right away. This didn't bother Iruka, and he went along his way when he finally said something. "He did… but… it wasn't like I expected. The Tooth Fairy… is my dad!"

Iruka patted Gai on the shoulder. "It's okay, we all find out at some point…"

Then Kakashi covered his mouth like he was sick and started running home.

"Hey!" Iruka watched him run off. "Where do you think you're going?"

"LOCKING ALL MY DOORS!" Came Kakashi.

Gai and Iruka continued to stare as the masked boy ran down the road.

"I can't believe this…" Iruka muttered. Kakashi believed in the Tooth Fairy too…

"Me neither." Agreed Gai. "Do you think this means I'll take over the family business?"

Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! Kakashi dreams of soaring through the clouds like a bird! Will his attempts of creating a flying machine work? Well, Iruka and Gai figure they might as well watch. Wait a minute, that doesn't sound like Yu-Gi-Oh! It sounds like Kakashi, Iruka, and Gai! Oh My! They don't even have a trading card game!

Also soon to come! A more seriously written- but hopefully still amusing- Christmas special! What happens when Neji acts like a regular Scrooge during the most wonderful time of the year? The spirits of Christmas Past-Youth, Christmas Present-Youth, and Christmas No-Youth-At-All must help the genius see something that his Byakugan cannot. In other words, I'm also working on a fanfic titled "A Hyuuga Style Christmas Carol". Hopefully it'll be out in time, because I'm working really hard on it. I'm so excited! Squee!
