Naruto Primer Lost Chapter: Lee/Gai
Lady's Man
Lee and Gai share more than the size of their eyebrows, haircut, style and all the other obvious things they share. They also share an enthusiasm for LIFE! Gai is always willing to do whatever it takes to improve Lee, and Lee is always willing to do whatever it takes to make Gai proud of him.
"LEE!!" Gai exclaimed, jumping over to where Lee was and giving him a good morning punch.
"GAI!!" Lee gasped, tears streaming down his face.
"…LEE!" Gai said again, outstretching his arms.
"GAI!!" screamed Lee as he bounded off the ground and leapt into the arms of his teacher as a wave crashed behind them.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure both student and teacher would go insane if they didn't have each other.
"What are we doing today?" Lee asked when they had finished their hello. "I noticed that Neji and Tenten aren't here! Am I getting another extreme makeover?"
"No!" said Gai. "You don't NEED one! Your youthful glow burns brighter than ever on this fair morning!!"
"Oh Gai!" said Lee. "Teach me some vital lessons today!!"
Gai walked away from Lee and over to the ledge they were standing on. Or they both could have been imagining the dramatic ledge. Then he pointed off at the sunrise as the wind blew his hair. "You are quite astute to notice that your two teammates are not here at the present moment!"
"Has something happened to them?" Lee asked.
"No." Gai said. "Today, I have to give you some special training!"
"What sort of special training, Gai?" Lee said, bouncing up and down with excitement.
"After I finished speaking with Tenten about many a thing the other day, I couldn't help but realize that despite your good looks and the shine of youth, you are still lacking a girlfriend!!"
"Yes, Gai!" said Lee, saluting his teacher. "I was painfully aware of that also!!"
"So I have decided that I will set you up with Tenten!!" said Gai.
"But Gai!" said Lee, sounding slightly whiny. "I'm in love with Sakura!"
"Oh right!" laughed Gai. "Then I will set you up with Sakura since Tenten is in love with Neji anyway!"
"She is?" said Lee.
"YES!" said Gai.
"I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED!!" exclaimed Lee. "TENTEN AND NEJI; WHAT AN ODD COUPLE!!"
"BUT ANYWAY!!" yelled Gai, getting Lee's attention again. "Before we actually get started, I want to make sure that you're absolutely positive that Sakura is the one for you! Younger women can be quite the handful, Lee, trust me, I KNOW!" He smiled and his teeth went PING!
"YES, Gai!" said Lee enthusiastically.
"Okay, so what we have to do is find out what Sakura likes!" said Gai.
Lee's happiness immediately deflated.
"Why, Lee, whatever is the matter?" Gai asked.
"Sakura likes SASUKE." Lee answered, sniffling a bit.
"That's no trouble!" laughed Gai. "All we have to do is set Sasuke up with someone else and then Sakura won't have any choice but to turn to you!"
"Really?!" said Lee. "Who do we set Sasuke up with?!"
"Who else likes Sasuke?" asked Gai.
"EVERYONE!" said Lee.
"Then how about…Ino?" said Gai.
"GOOD IDEA!!" said Lee. "Wait…oh no!!"
"What is it?!" said Gai. "Do you know of someone who is in love with Ino already?!"
"YES!" said Lee. "I'm not sure, but I think I've seen Ino and Kiba flirting!"
"WOW!" said Gai. "I never noticed!!"
"I'm pretty sure!!" said Lee.
"Then we'll have to set Kiba up with someone else in order to distract him from Ino so that she'll be able to go out with Sasuke so you can go out with Sakura!" said Gai.
"How about with Tenten?" said Lee.
"NO!" yelled Gai. "Tenten and Neji are going out!!"
"REALLY?!" said Lee. "I MISSED THAT ENTIRELY!!"
"YEAH!!" said Gai. "So we'll set Kiba up with… um… KURENAI!!"
"WHAT?!" yelled Lee. "There's such a huge age difference between them! And what about Asuma?!"
"What, is he in love with Kurenai?!" said Gai.
"YEAH!" said Lee.
"I thought he only had eyes for Shikamaru!" said Gai, scratching his chin. "No matter! We'll simply get Asuma to marry…um…"
"Suzume!" said Lee.
"YES!" said Gai. "Lee, you are brilliant! I do not believe Shizune is in love with ANYONE!"
"I SAID SUZUME!!" said Lee.
"OH RIGHT!" said Gai. "Um…I think Suzume is going out with Iruka!"
"But Iruka loves Kakashi and Naruto!" said Lee.
"BOTH OF THEM?!" gasped Gai.
"YEAH!!" said Lee.
"I have to go have a talk with Iruka!!" said Gai.
"But we can always get Kakashi interested in Kurenai and Naruto can get interested in Tsunade!" said Lee.
"But I thought Shino was going to get paired up with Kurenai!" said Gai. "And isn't Tsunade like… fifty?!"
The two of them stared at each other.
"Um…what were we talking about before we got sidetracked?" said Lee, looking confused.
"I have no idea." Gai answered.
"Okay." Said Lee. "BYE GAI!!"
"Goodbye Lee!!" said Gai as the two of them hugged again. Then they parted ways.
