chpt.9
Haruka curled up happily n the bed, her face still slightly pink. ::Flashback:: Gai wrapped his arms around her and kissed her...before he left he'd said "i love you.." leaving her standing halfway inside her door with her face as red as hell "maito-kun.." she whispered..::end::
She smiled happily, feeling fully content for the first time since she'd arrived in konoha. -gai-kun..- she thinks, before falling fully asleep.
*********
But the next morning she began to worry. -what...what should i do/say?...i mean...i know we..- her face is still semi red as she walks along towards the academy, to help iruka with his classes again.
But, despite the amount of work she had to do, her mind still dwelled on that one kiss. -what do i do..?- iruka noticed her red face "you alright?" he asks, she jumps, startled "Uh..y-yeah im fine...ehehe, just dopey this morning!" he nods, but looks worried.
-god i made an ass of myself erlier..- she thinks as she walks along the streets towards the library, where she was hoping to do some studying, or else just read the manga novels. -he prolly thinks im a weirdo..-
She settles down at a table with a stack of books, resting her chin in her hands she opens the top one in front of her; "Ninja Legends" she murmers...starting to read some of the history of ninjas of konoha and others nearby villages.
But her attention was distratced by a single piece of paper fluttering down onto the desk in front of her. "eh?" she reached out and picked it up, her heatbeat racing when she was who it was from.
[-I'm almost done with lee's training for today, i'll be at the ramen stand in the town centre at 12, if you want to get something to eat-]
[-Hoping to see you again, Gai-]
She held the note in her hand, going red again, she tucked it into her top pocket "ill be there.." she murmers, a big smile on her face.

Kakashi wandered along, having made his three students wait again, as he usually did. But this time he did have a semi-beleiveable reason..he'd spent most of the night beign harassed by a damn pigeon, and his butt hurt. "owow....bloody birds" he grumbled, passing by gai who was walking that same way, he almost had anoteh rheart attack when he saw the way gai was grinning all over his face. -need i guess- he thoguht, trying to ignore the pain as he hobbled on.
Gai looked behind him a second later, thinking he recognised the person hobbling by. Sure, enough, it was Kakashi. Gai stared at the way his rival was wobbling along, muttering rude words from behind the mask, one of which was "Pigeon" he sweatdropped -best not ask, kakashi and his weird modern ways really annoy me..- but before he could think of anything else on that matter, he reached the ramen stand. But that wasn't the only reason he stopped, the someone he'd given a special note to erlier that day was sitting there, her chin resting on her hands, thumbing thru a well worn hardback with a konoha leaf symbol on its front.
Taking a deep breath he walked up behind her "boo" he whispered, trying not to laugh when she jumped about 2 feet outta her seat. "gaii!!" she yelled, trying, and failing, to clobber him with the book, he raised his hands up in a gesture of defeat, "hey hey, i was only trying to get your attention, don't murder me or anything" she looked at his semi-serious face then started laughing, putting the book down "sorry.." she giggled.
He just smiled, then sat down beside her, looking at the books cover "ninja Legends, i didnt know you liked this sorta thing..." she nods, smiling and blushing "yeah..i find myths and stuff kinda interesting.." her vocie wandered off and her face went even redder as he curled one hand around hers, looking at the page. "you oughta be in one of these books, for your efforts yesterday.." she smiled, and, taking a deep breath, leaned against him slightly "eheh..yeah right, all i did was almost end up as roast ninja a la mode, and drown the place!" he laughed, wrapping his other arm around her shoulders, as they continued reading.

But they werent alone, balanced on a fence just a few feet away from them, just over their heads, were kakashi and iruka. "why are we here again?" iruka asked. "im spying on gai" hatake said shortly. Iruka sweatdropped "yes, but why do u need me?" "cos...she's ur tecahing assistnat?" he came up with. Iruka sweatdropped. He leaned a little forward "hey...it looks kinda sweet!" he said grinning, kakashi leaned over too, but fences being what they are, this one chose to give way, slinging iruka head-first into the side of the stand, and kakashi into a tree.
****
Haruka and gai jumped about 3 feet in the air when they heard a ::bang::, followed by a muffled ::whump::, right after each other. Scooting round the corner they sweatdropped when they saw iruka in a heap on the floor, dazed as heck, with kakashi half up a tree, strugging to free himself. "what the? what're you two up to?" gai ran over to his rival to get an answer out of him (once kakashi got outta that tree), while haruka helped the dizzy iruka to his feet. "erf...hehe pelican.. duck....damn wobbyfence, oohfallinover-" was all iruka managed before he passed out. Kakashi meanwhile had managed to free himself from the tree "oof..ow..." he came face 2 face with gai "uh...hi?" he sweatdropped.
Damn wobbly fence.
