Epilogue:
After a good breakfast and a warm goodbye, Tsunade sauntered out of Gai's house, thoroughly fulfilled. The sun was beginning to rise. Outside, in the street, the three Jounins appeared next to her.
"Oh, hello you three." She smiled smugly. "How are you this fine, fine day?"
Kakashi looked down. "I can think of days I would call finer. I'll never get the sound of you and Gai out of my head…"
"Oh, so then you heard something? Hehehe, how nice! That proves it… it proves that we had sex and proves that Gai isn't gay, doesn't it? He's only mostly gay, as it turns out. It's a shame he's not fully straight, for the sake of kunoichis everywhere. Kurenai, maybe you'll have better luck now that I've warmed him up for you."
"Maybe," muttered Kurenai. "I don't know how you did it, but you did. Fair is fair… here's your money." Both she and Kakashi gave her pouches of coins. "But you've got to tell us how you did that. If you used Shintenshin no jutsu or disguised as a man, it doesn't count."
"Nope! I just seduced him. There was a spark of heterosexuality hiding somewhere in there after all. I've learned, through years of wandering, how to get it right… not too much pressure, not too little, keep in control. It's a skill. Hey, even a gambler as legendarily bad as me has to win a bet once in a while, right?"
"So it would seem," drawled Kakashi. "I wonder what we'll call you for a nickname now, since you seem to have lost your title."
"Hmm, you'll have to figure that out. I have… sigh, work to do. I am still Hokage. I'll probably see you all next time at the bar, though. Hmm, what about Asuma's share?"
"Kurenai's taking care of that." Asuma smiled.
"Ah, perfect. Oh, and Kakashi… Gai's special someone? I don't think it's you."
"I don't want to know how you know that, but good."
"Call it a woman's intuition."
Behind them, down the street, a tired but satisfied Gai listened acutely from his front porch.
"So… it was a bet, then? Tsunade-sama, it makes sense. You were acting unusual, and you are an infamous gambler. But, I know that wasn't all there was to it. You showed me… beautiful things. I think I showed you some too. And even if you did win this bet… to me, after tonight, you will always retain your title."
He looked to the sky, eyes watering. "…the legendary sucker!"
FinThat's it! I hope you enjoyed. And, as a standing offer to anyone who may read this: write a good Tsunade lemon or lime or draw a piece of sexy Tsunade fanart and I'll promise to R&R every one of your stories OR write you an up to 4-page gift fic to the best of my ability. No sick stuff.
I'm not counting the TsunaTenTen one that's already posted on affnet; that's all about TenTen and Tsunade is basically a force, rather than a character. Also, it's icky inaccurate-gynecologist's-office infection cream porn. Not very good… in fact I hear it might end up on FF_ANBU.
