Kai's head was throbbing. His neck was sore from where he'd been hit. Kai sat up and immediately regretted it when his head started to spin. 'Ugh, I guess I sat up too fast.' Kai thought. He tried to look around at his surroundings but it was completely black in the room. 'Great, how am I going to find a way out of here if I can't even see where I am?' Kai leaned forward and tried to make out anything in his surroundings. He thought he saw a movement but he couldn't be sure. He leaned back and tried to be as still as possible. 'Is the person who kidnapped me watching me right now?'

Echoing his earlier kidnapping, once again a hand was placed on Kai's mouth. Instead of fighting like last time, Kai sat still. "I do not want to hurt you, so do not move," a voice whispered just like last time.

A light flickered on and Kai could finally make out his surroundings. He could tell it was an apartment which seemed like an odd place to keep someone you kidnapped. There were blinds over the windows so Kai couldn't see outside. Under the window sat a single bed with a few plants sitting around the room. Kai minimally shifted his head so that he could barely make out a small kitchen area. 'Well, this is definitely an apartment. But who kidnapped me!'

A door slammed open and three bodies cast their shadows into the room.

"Why am I here again?" One of the ninjas sighed. The ninja to his right grabbed him and pulled him inside. They walked into the apartment and closed the door behind them.

"You are crucial to our master plan!" The voice holding Kai answered.

'That voice sounds familiar.'

The three figures gathered around the bed in front of Kai and recognition set in. 'You've got to be kidding me. I got kidnapped by him!'

Ai diligently searched through the village but couldn't find a single lead on where Kakashi was at the moment. Feeling somewhat defeated, Ai sat down on a random bench. 'I guess I could check the memorial stone. I wonder what Kai's doing right now. I hope he's not worrying himself.' Ai got off the bench and headed in the direction of the memorial stone. 'I'm sure he's probably fine.'

Upon arriving at her destination, Ai scanned the area for Kakashi. She couldn't see him anywhere but she did feel a pair of eyes staring at her back. Ai spun around only to come face-to-face with Sasuke.

"Why are you here?" They asked at the same time.

"Humph, I'm looking for Kakashi-sensei," Ai crossed her arms and glared at Sasuke.

"I'm training with Kakashi-sensei."

"Well, where is he?" Ai was already exasperated with Sasuke after only talking for less than five minutes.

"I'm trying to find him. It's part of the training."

"Well how am I supposed to find him?" Ai demanded.

"How should I know, you're a ninja. Figure it out," Sasuke replied smugly before he disappeared into the trees.

"Freak," Ai muttered under her breath. A few seconds later a kunai knife landed right next to her foot. Ai glared at the trees in the direction the kunai came from. 'I guess I better start looking for Kakashi-sensei.' Following Sasuke's example, Ai leaped into the nearest tree to start her search.

"Remove you hand," Kai mumbled into his kidnapper's hand.

"What?" The person asked while removing his hand.

"I said to remove your hand."

"Oh, sorry."

"Naruto! What is going on here? Why did you kidnap me, you maniac?" Kai demanded.

Shikamaru sighed, "I knew this was a bad idea."

"Don't be such a downer," Choji scolded.

"You're the one who dragged me into this, if this goes bad which I predict it will, I blame you."

The ninja that had been holding onto Kai walked over and stood with the others. Kai glared at him. Lee. Rock Lee. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

Lee stared back at him, "I feel very strongly for Ai. She is my friend. I have just realized that I like her however, she likes you. I will not disobey her wishes. We are going to train you to be the best boyfriend for her."

"Oookay. But why are they here?" Kai asked, gesturing to Shikamaru, Choji, and Naruto.

"We're his reinforcers," Naruto started to punch and kick the air trying to look like a super strong awesome ninja. He failed. With his limbs wildly flailing about he looked more like an octopus having a seizure. "You better be ready for this because if you don't listen you're going to be in a world of pain!" Naruto yelled out while he swung his arms around in what he probably thought was an intimidating move.

'How did I get kidnapped by these fools?' Kai thought. "So how exactly are you going to train me to be a better boyfriend?"

"You will go through a series of trials ranging from ninja skills to manners," Lee explained.

"Wait a minute, which of us is going to be teaching manners? Naruto never stops yelling, Lee just kidnapped someone, and Choji's not exactly an expert at table manners," Shikamaru interrupted.

"Well, Mr. Smarty Pants, why don't you do it?" Naruto pouted.

"Me? I don't even want to be here let alone teach this guy some manners. What a bother. Why don't you just get some girl to teach him?" Shikamaru suggested.

"I volunteer you to ask Ino to help us with this!" exclaimed Naruto.

"What? Aw man. I don't want to deal with her."

"Too bad!" Naruto stuck his tongue out at Shikamaru.

"What do ninja skills have to do with being a good boyfriend?" Kai interrupted their petty fight.

"Easy. A gentleman needs to be able to protect his girlfriend. If you are not a skilled enough ninja, you cannot ensure her safety like a good boyfriend should," explained Lee.

"This is ridiculous," Kai mumbled.

"Your opinion doesn't matter, we're going to make you do it anyways," said Naruto.

Kai rolled his eyes at Naruto and sighed. He contemplated the situation. He considered making a break for it but decided they'd just chase him down again. Resigned to his fate, Kai looked towards the ninja who were staring at him waiting for an answer, "Ugh, fine I'll do it."
