chtp.8
Gai sighed and looked up at the clock on the hospital room, falling dangerously close to sleep -haruka..- he worries, getting up and pacing the corridor -please..- he looks up as a door opens, a nurse walking out "is she-?" he asks franticly "shes fine sir, just may need rest...." he nods "can i see her?" she nods, opening the door "perhaps talking to her will help her wake up..."
**9p.m**
Gai had sat beside haruka for what seemed like forever, praying she would wake up, but she slept on. In the end, he could barely stay awake, he fell asleep, arms folded, resting his head on his arms, at the beds side..
******
Haruka felt like she'd been put thru an oven to roast, but thru the pain was soothing relief. The last thing she remembered was gai carrying her somehwere, away from the fire. "Uh.." she coughed, stirring slightly...one hand moving as she sought to find out where she was. Her dark eyes slowly opened "huh.." she saw a clean white hospital ceiling, a bright light "uh...im...hospital..hrg-"
She forces herself up, one hand moving out for balance, but brushing against something...she quickly looked to what her hand had come across. Gai. Fast alseep, obviously tired, he was sleeping at the beds side. Her eyes, first filled with worry, now seem to harbour mixed emotions as she looks down at the sleeping jounin.
-he...he was here..all thsi time...but why...- she reaches out, one pale hand brushing the side of his face as she shakes his shoulder. "maito..matio-sama" she croaks softly, starting to worry "maito-" on this third call he shifts, making a faint tired sound, she sits back on the bed, throwing the covers aside she sits on its edge, looking at him.
"ah, haruka-kun!" he says, sounding like his usual cheerful self, he smiles genuinely at her "youre alright! The nurse said you'd be sleeping for a while..feeling better?" she blinks, feeling a weird feeling in her mind -he knew...i'd be out for a while...yet he stayed here with me...why....i..- she blinks, snapping out of her daze "im fine now!...uh.." she goes a bit red "thank you for waiting...im alright now...is lee? and the resturant owners kids.."
He nods, reaching out one hand to rest it on her shoulder, looking at her with a smile "its alright now...the hokage heard of what you did, he told me to tell you he's very proud of you, and the resturant owner wants to thank you for saving the childrens lives"
She looks at him, reassured, and contented, by the warm reassuring weight of his hand, she smiles "thank you maito-sama" he smiles back, and for a brief moment in time it all seems perfect. But then door is flung open, a nurse looks in "oh, i thought i heard noise, ah miss" she says, seeing haruka sitting up "are you well" she nods "I wish to leave ma'am.." the nurse sighs "i dont know if thats a good idea..." but gai interrupts her "ill make sure she gets home safe, no need to worry" behind his back, as he talks, haruka presses a hand to her chest -when he said he was glad i was alright..i felt so strange...do i really feel this way for him...but...what if he doesn't...he must just think im a teacher only..but he stayed here for hours...oh..- she looks back up as the nurse leaves and gai turns to her smiling "she says we can go, she'll alert the doctors and such..." she nods, getting down from the bed and following him outside.
Once outside, gai took of his jacket again, wrapping it around her shoulders, she looks up at him, glad the darkness hides her blushing. They start walking along the street, she shivers despite the jacket, and he walks close by her the whole time.
******
After the short walk, during which gai began to think more and more how much he worried, and felt, for haruka, they eventually arrive outside her apartment. She reaches for her key "um...gai-sama.." she whispers, her face red, looking up to him, then she takes a step forward and hugs him tightly...as a goodbye.."thanks so much for letting me teach lee..i've had a great time..and thanks most of all for helping me to hospital..."
Gai looks down at her, then nervously hugs her back, face red "uh..you should stay with us..lee loves you to bits and..-" as she looked up at him, he brought his arms tightly around her, and, hoping she wouldnt hate him, leaned down and kissed her in the cold evening air -i like being with you..-. She closes her eyes and leans against him slightly as her holds her -...i..i never dreamt..-
Up on his pole kakashi practicly had a heart attack -gai..sheesh...guess i was right about those two then...- he smriked, but it was short lived, because there was a vengeful pigeon heading his rear-ends way..uh-oh. _

Konoha-Crash: "buwahaha, the pigeons revenge!" *got a bit carried away with that XD*
