AN: Heehee, what can I say? Onward. Oh, I don't own.

"Lee! You're not doing it right. You need to put your fingers in the right spot. If you don't you won't know where to put your hands so you can pump correctly."

Gai shook his head at his prized pupil. Every genin team he'd ever mentored always had trouble with this exercise. The exercise was designed to strengthen trust and expand the knowledge of his youthful students. Every ninja of the village had to undergo this for it was essential to survival. Yes, CPR played a vital role on any mission. It was all Kakashi's idea. He's so cool and hip like that to suggest that all of the rookies learn all forms of survival. Unfortunately, young teens in the spring time of their youths were always uncomfortable being that close to their teammates. Such was the case at present.

"But Gai-sensei, she keeps giggling."

"Sorry Gai-sensei, but I am ticklish. He keeps tickling me." Tenten rolled over laughing. The whole situation was ludicrous. Plus it was

"Lee-kun, find the base of the sternum and place your palms directly above them."

"But sensei, I can't." Lee whined.

"Why not? It's not that hard." Gai was frustrated; he hated to be questioned in his orders. Most jounin instructors did.

"Because she has, you know what."

"What?"

"She has boobs. I can't touch a girl's boobs." Poor Lee blushed a color that is not possible by any other human.

"Ahh, now I see. Have no fear, my favorite pupil, these are survival exercises. She won't mind if you touch her breasts."

TenTen was simply appalled at the mere suggestion of a boy touching her chest. Plus hearing her sensei refer to her breasts was just plain weird. Ick.

"Gai-sensei, I would too mind."

"TenTen-chan, we must learn to trust our comrades. This is not only for your educational benefit, but it is for the good of all of your other missions. If one of you were to choke or become unconscious after being in the water, or on the verge of drowning, you must know how to revive them. So go forth into the sunset with this wonderful knowledge. But if you are not comfortable, I won't make you do it. I understand if you want to take the easy road out of the situation."

"Fine, geez, I'll do it. I still don't like him touching my breasts."

"TenTen-chan, quit being so dramatic." Gai-sensei rolled his eyes at her and told Lee to continue.

"Neji-kun, tilt her head back and pinch her nose. Now, mock breathing into her mouth and watch the fall and rise of her chest, then close her mouth. Lee, you then pump her sternum until she comes around or coughs up the water. If there is no response from the victim, repeat the process. So now that you know the complete process, begin."

TenTen reluctantly laid back on the ground as Lee and Neji loomed over her. She closed her eyes because it was just too funny watching the serious expressions on their faces. They were concentrating so hard, the visages were hilarious. She felt Lee's fingers find her ribcage and felt Neji pinch her nose. Gai watched with mild amusement as his wonderful pupils demonstrated his supreme instructions. Hah! Eat that Kakashi!. Lee leaned over her with his hands poised and ready, but the problem was with Neji's hair. It kept getting in Lee's way. He didn't want to mess up again, so he went around to the other side of her and bumped into Neji accidentally. Fate must have been laughing at Neji that day, for when he was leaning down to mock breathe into her mouth, he felt Lee bump into him and he felt himself lose his balance and well, he became real close to his teammate. She laughed, he made gagging sounds and Lee looked lost.

Gai just roared at the sight. Oh it was beautiful. His team was experiencing life at it's fullest. However, it was his job to train them and in training them they needed to be critiqued. Oh who was he kidding? He wanted to tease them, especially his cold and sheltered genius.

"Good job, Neji. But next time, pantomime breathing, don't kiss her. Lee, good job. TenTen, how was his first kiss and yours?"

A weapon may have been thrown at Gai's head and Lee may have received the beating of a lifetime from Hyuuga, but in the end it was worth it. At least according to Gai anyway.
