"Random Love"

By Kanuya (YinYangSisters)

Chapter 1: "Ichiraku Chat"

It was the afternoon in Konoha and the green-beast Maito Gai was finishing some laps with his favorite student Rock Lee. (Neji and Tenten really just trained around the woods more than running with them.) Gai wiped some of his sweat off his forehead followed by Lee.

Gai's stomach grumbles from running for 900 laps around Konoha. Lee looks at Gai curiously.

Lee: "hmm? Gai-sensei are your hungry?"

Gai: "No I'm not I'm still ready for anything!"

Another grumble comes again except louder.

Gai: " I guess so then eheh…"

The nearest place to eat was the famous "Ichiraku Ramen" so they went there and ordered the curry ramen. Suddenly two other people took another seat not to far from where Gai and Lee were sitting. Looking closely, Gai notices Tsunade-sama out eat ramen for the first time but he didn't intend who the other person was.

Gai begins to think.

: Can that be Jiraiya-sama? No. His hair would be white not black… hmmm… and the figure doesn't look like it can be a man so it must be a woman… :

He takes a glance forward and notices first the little pig TonTon near the counter. He then notices the woman's face but not really clear till she turned her face toward the direction Gai was looking at. Her eyes glimmered but he then notices it was Shizune.

Tsunade: " You ready to get the type of ramen you'd like Shizune?"

Shizune: "Yes"

Shizune's smile made Gai more interested in talking to Shizune till Lee came in saying he'd like more ramen. Gai pays again but keeps glaring at Shizune until Tsunade then notices Gai.

Tsunade: "Is there something the matter Gai?"

Gai: "Huh? Oh sorry Tsunade-sama!….Uhhh I was just kind of dazed sorry…"

Shizune gives a giggle.

Shizune: "Hi Gai-san! I wouldn't expect you to be here"

Gai gives a slight laugh and then Lee gives a couple of blinks looking at Gai.

Lee: "Gai-sensei isn't that Shizune-senpai who is the assistant of Tsunade-sama?"

Gai: "Err…Yes.. But I never got to talk to her…"

Lee gives a little more blinks and stares at Shizune. She was eating her ramen and leaving a little bowl for TonTon to eat as well. Tsunade and her were talking together and giving some laughs here and there.

---------------------------------------------

Soon enough, Lee went back to check up on Neji and Tenten making sure that they didn't run off somewhere else or still training. Tsunade stood up and began walking away with TonTon in her arms.

Tsunade: "Let's go back now Shizune!"

Shizune nods her head yes and gives the money to Ayame. (The girl in Ichiraku that you see now and then) She gives a smile goodbye to Ayame and as she was beginning to leave she notices Gai still sitting thinking about something.

Gai:

: Should I go talk to her or not? Kosu! (Damn) I can't think straight… I never even talked to her after all these times I came in and out… I guess I should just have a quick chat.."

Shizune:

: What is with him? Usually I'd see him with all this energy but now he's kind of in this serious look. :

Shizune puts her hand on Gai's shoulder. Until Gai popped up with a woken face.

Shizune: "Uhmm.. Are you all right Gai-san?"

Gai: "I'm all right I'm alright sorry… and you really don't need to call me Gai-san you can just call me Gai!"

Shizune tilts her head in confusion.

Gai begins to think again.

: Crap Crap Crap! That was a stupid reply! I am really dazed out::

He then hears her giggle.

Gai: "Huh? What are you laughing about?"

Shizune: "Your giving funny poses while you are thinking!"

Gai: "I am?"

Shizune nods her head yes with another giggle. Gai sweat drops.

Gai: "I must be the most weirdest out of the jounin ,huh, with how I look and everything?"

Shizune nods her head no.

Shizune: "You are just humorous…or in other words funny!"

Gai had a one second moment out of time and gave a slight blush.

Shizune: "We never talk like this do we?"

Gai and Shizune then get into this thinking position and gave a thought of the many times they were able to talk. They both had a sweat drop.

Gai: "No we never did"

Shizune: "That's okay though… I'm not really able to chat as much like this…"

Around the Ichiraku area Lee, Neji and Tenten were walking up to catch up back with Gai until they notice Shizune there. Tenten gave a little shock and while Lee was running with joy to talk to Gai again she took him into a hiding spot. Neji curiously looked at them but then was pulled back by Tenten as well.

Shizune looks at Gai when he was still staring at her.

Shizune: "Don't you have to meet up with your team?"

Gai: "I know but you can take my time…since you said "you aren't able to talk this much"

Shizune gave in a thought until she had a shock face.

Shizune: "I forgot! I was supposed to catch up with Tsunade-sama!"

Gai still stood in place. Shizune began running the direction to the hokage's office until she stopped and looked back.

Shizune: "Maybe I'll talk to you again if I get a chance! And….You really don't need to wait there the whole time as I leave!"

Gai shook his head and then laughs.

Gai: "I dazed out again seeing how-"

He paused for a moment.

Gai: "Never mind… but hopefully we will!"

Shizune: "Promise!"

Gai gave a thumbs up.

Gai: "Promise."

They both smiled at each other as Shizune ran off again. Back with Lee, Neji and Tenten they all had a curious face.

Tenten: "What is with Gai-sensei? He's more dazed or blanked out than usual! He's always awake and ready for anything!"

Lee: "Well I don't know"

Neji: "…."

Tenten: "There is something with Shizune-senpai and Gai-sensei"

Lee nods his head in agreement. Both of them fell into thought.

---------------------------------------------

Back at the Hokage's office. Shizune ran though the door while TonTon jumping into her arms. Tsunade had a serious face looking at Shizune.

Tsunade: "Why are you late Shizune?"

Shizune: "Sorry Tsunade-sama! I had a run in a little chat with Gai!"

Tsunade looked at Shizune in a serious deep-thought way.

Tsunade:

: Something is up with those two… :

---------------------------------------------

End of Chapter 1

Next Chapter:

Chapter 2: Kept Promise and Mysterious Letters!

Lee and Tenten notice how much Gai-sensei not concentrating on much of training and he isn't the energetic youthful sensei they know. Even when Lee tried to do a Konoha Senpu (Konoha Whirlwind) on him he doesn't even notice. While with Shizune she's been quieter than ever and even when Tsunade is asking one simple question she seems dazed out on it.

Later then, Team Gai (without Gai) comes up to Tsunade's office and have a chat while outside again they notice Gai and Shizune off talking again.

See it next time!

---------------------------------------------

Author's Note: So how do you think it is going so far? Mostly I never seen as much GaixShizune but I'd take a chance making this story while the other story "Club Konoha" is still in progress. It gets (maybe) better in the next chapter. But please don't give bad reviews/flaming. I know there is many people who like Shizune with someone else but don't leave a bad comment on that.

Enjoy the Next Chapter!
