As Maito Gai leaves he's glad that the Hokage had insisted that Ume stay with him, and Lee he had no idea that Neji had turned violent with her. As soon as he's in the living room he tells Lee that he needs to talk with the Hokage, and will be back shortly.
Ume enters the bathroom and takes a hot shower. The hot water soothes her aching muscles she had never hurt so much before. After her shower, she climbs into bed and falls fast asleep. While Ume's sleeping Maito Gai returns home Lee looks up at him, and asks, "Is everything alright Gai-sensei?"
Maito Gai replies, "Sorry Lee but I don't want to betray Ume's trust although I did report what she told me to the Hokage only because it was my duty to do so."
Lee looks sad, and says, "Oh ok are we still on for early morning training." Maito Gai flashes his famous smile, and says, "You bet Lee I wouldn't miss it for the world" then he gives Lee a thumbs up.
They both head to bed so they will be ready for their early morning workout and on the way there Maito Gai cheeks in on Ume. When he can clearly see her sleeping he closes the door, and heads to bed himself. Ume wakes up the next morning to an empty house and sighs. She makes her bed and heads into the kitchen to find a note on the table.
~ Note ~
Lee, and I went to do some early morning training we will return soon.
From, Maito Gai
~ End ~
Ume smiles and decides to make some breakfast for everyone. While she's making breakfast Lee, and Maito Gai returns from training. Lee's nose leads him into the kitchen where he stops cold with his mouth hanging open. Maito Gai walks over to Lee to see what's wrong, and he sees Ume wearing a really short nightgown. She's bending over looking for another pot to use, and some of her butt is showing. Maito Gai rushes to Ume's bedroom and grabs her robe then he quickly returns. He walks over to Ume, and says, "You should really wear this."
Ume puts it on, and asks, "Why is that?" Maito Gai points to Lee, and says, "He, and I are male it's better if you're covered." Ume blushes, and says, "Oh I'm sorry I'm not used to covering up." Maito Gai pats her head, and says, "I know Ume but please try to remember."
Ume smiles, and says, "I will remember Gai thank you" and she kisses his cheek. Maito Gai walks over to Lee, and pats him on the back saying, "You're finally taking an interest in girls I see." Lee blushes, and composes himself before whispering, "I'd never have a chance with a girl like her Gai-sensei."
Maito Gai pats him on the back, and says, "You'll never know if you never try." Ume's finished making breakfast, and she asks, "Are you guys going to join me or do I eat by myself?"
They both look at her, and sit at the table to eat where Ume asks, "Would you guys mind if I joined you for early morning training?" They both smile, and say, "The more the merrier Ume."
