CHAPTER 1
"Gai-sensei," Lee said, poking Gai's arm.
"Hmm?" Gai looked over his shoulder to face Lee.
"How long have you and Kakashi been together?" Lee asked.
Gai's eyes shadowed over and his face changed to a colour close to that of a cherry. "I have…no idea…what you're talking about, me and Kakashi are enemies."
"That ring is a big give away, I hope you know that."
Gai slowly turned his head in the direction of the new voice. "Ten…ten?" he said.
"Kakashi!"
Kakashi looked up from his book as Gai trampled unsteadily into the room.
"What is it?" he asked.
"My team knows!"
"What? Why did you tell them?"
"I didn't. They said everyone knows!"
"That's not possible!" He jumped off of his seat and flew into the hallway, Gai close behind him.
Kakashi opened the door to Iruka's classroom, where a class was currently in session.
"Hey Iruka!" Kakashi yelled, loud enough for everyone in the classroom to hear.
"Kakashi do you mind, I'm in the middle of the lesson…" Iruka said.
"Iruka can I have a word with you?"
Iruka stared at him blankly.
"Alright," Iruka was hesitant at first, then without another word followed Kakashi into the hall where Gai was waiting.
"Wha—! You know!" screamed Gai.
Iruka rolled his eyes, "It's nothing big."
"This is your fault," yelled Gai, pointing at Kakashi. "You're the one who insisted on such obvious rings!"
"Oh yeah well you're the one who asked me out in the first place! Otherwise I never would have even noticed you—!"
"Oh, so what are you saying that you'd be better off without me!"
"Ahem…."
They looked over to find that the class room door had been left open. Iruka and his entire class of little brats were left staring blankly at them.
"I mean… you're crazy…uh…we could never be a couple, heh, heh…."
Konohamaru scowled.
"You guys sound like the soap opera's my grandpa used to watch."
The entire class burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Can you two take your love affairs outside away from my classroom… please?"
"Let's go home," Kakashi insisted as they reached the exit.
"Well…that's the other thing…."
"…other thing?" Kakashi asked, afraid of what the answer might be.
"Well, you do want to move in with me right…?"
"Yes," Kakashi answered, raising an eyebrow.
"The thing is, Lee is already living with me and I don't know how he would, well take this,"-
Kakashi let out a moan of annoyance.
"It slipped my mind, heh…heh," Gai nervously whipped the sweat of his fore-head.
"Kakashi, can Lee be my, my…"
"Your what?" Kakashi asked.
"My……. my maid of honor!" Gai buried his face in Kakashi's
shoulder, to hide his blush.
Kakashi's eye narrowed. "Alright," he said. "As long as Iruka… gets to be… my best-man!"
'Iruka, best- man, Iruka, best-man.' These dreadful words echoed through Gai's head.
He looked up. "Why him?" he asked as a scowl spread across his cherry red face.
"Why Lee?" asked Kakashi, rubbing his chin.
"Fine," he drawled.
(That evening)
Lee walked into the house closing the door gently behind him. Lee sat on the couch only just noticing the white box that sat upon the coffee table.
He reached towards it cautiously, slowly he opened the box. There, inside the box stood three piles of blue ribbon cards. He instantly took one, noticing the text on the front he began to read it:
YOU'RE INVITED…
With slight hesitation he opened the card, the text read:
…TO KAKASHI AND GAI'S WEDDING!
Lee was shocked.
"Bu…but I thought they were enemies."
