CHAPTER2

Neji sat staring at Kakashi and Gai going at one of there little battles. This time Kakashi picked:

"Thumb war," He said blankly.

"What does that have to do with any thing?" whispered Tenten.

"I don't know," answered Lee.

"A thumb war? What does that have to do with anything!" exclaimed Gai.

"Strength in your hands can be an advantage too," Kakashi answered matter of factly.

"Alright," said Gai. "If I loose…I'll sleep on the couch!"

"There you go again," Kakashi said, rolling his eyes.

"What?" Gai was utterly confused.

"You're making up rules again,"

"Who cares? Let's start!" Gai began to run on the spot like a small child.

Kakashi grabbed Gai's hand.

"On three," Kakashi said. "One, two…" he took a deep breath. "…three!"

Luckily Kakashi had a plan: he took his opposite hand and ran it through his hair; the wind blew at that exact moment. The sun shone just enough to light the tips of his hair.

Gai stood: his mouth wide open, and a nose bleed at the ready.

Kakashi took advantage of the moment. Quickly he trapped Gai's thumb under his own.

"I win!" he said happily.

Gai's head fell back as his body flopped onto the ground.

"OH, MY GOD! GAI!" Kakashi fell to his knees just in time to catch Gai before his head hit the ground.

Gai quickly came to his senses. "Y...you caught me!" He looked into Kakashi's eye with the 'You're my hero' look.

Kakashi brought Gai closer to himself, trapping him in a tight hug.

"I just want you to be safe," Kakashi said, rubbing Gai's back.

Gai looked at Kakashi thoughtfully. "Oh, Kakashi!"

Now we return to Neji, Lee, and Tenten who just happen to be watching.

"They're so romantic!" exclaimed Tenten as she clasped her hands together.

"I think I'm going to puke," said Neji, his expression: simply disgusted.

Lee had found a corner in witch he sat rocking back and forth telling himself: "They're enemies, they're enemies."

(That night)

"Two weeks," said Gai looking slightly nervous.

"Two weeks," repeated Kakashi, looking the same.

"Maybe, Maybe I should tell Lee." The room grew tense.

"He probably already knows. Speaking of Lee where is he?" asked Kakashi.

"He won't be back until tomorr…ow…" Gai slowly looked over at Kakashi who was already looking back with a raised eyebrow.

The thoughts going through Kakashi's head were something along the lines of: It's twelve in the morning no Lee, empty house and no one here other than Gai…and me.'

In other words Kakashi wanted Gai to follow him into the bedroom, Gai was thinking along the same lines with Kakashi. So, with almost no hesitation Gai did so and followed him.

I am sorry to say, this certain scene is censored…I apologize to those who were expecting more, how shall I say it…um… 'action'.

(The morning after…if you know what I mean ;D)

Lee walked in, gently closing the door behind him. He walked over to Gai's room noticing a bottle of saki turned onto its side. Slowly he opened the door to Gai's room, it was quiet too quiet. He looked at the lump of white covers on the bed. He could see feet hanging of the edge of the bed slowly another set of feet wriggled its way down and tangled themselves with the first set of feet.

Lee, traumatized, hypnotized, not knowing what to do backed out of the room, out of the building and into a classroom where Iruka was quietly marking papers.

"Iruka-sensei, can I talk to you…please?"

"What happened?" asked Gai, looking around blankly.

"Go back to sleep…" moaned Kakashi.

"And that's what I saw," finished Lee.

Iruka gaped.
