Chapter 2: Kept Promise and Mysterious Letters!

By Kanuya(YinYangGirls)

Maito Gai was just in the middle of training with his team. Lee and Tenten has been staring at him for quite a while seeing how dazed he has been. Not even trying to take a hit in other words he was daydreaming.

Lee: "Gai-sensei?"

Gai: "..."

Lee: "KONOHA SENPU!"

Lee hits Gai in the face.

Tenten: "Did you really have to do that Lee?"

Gai rubs where he was hit and gives a slight smile.

Gai: "Sorry something on my mind."

Tenten: "Eh? What is it?"

Gai: "N-nothing"

Tenten stares at him in a what-are-you-talking-about face.

Neji: "There is and your not telling us"

Neji drops a kunai he was playing around with and walks up to Gai right inbetween Lee and Tenten.

Gai: It is nothing!"

Neji: "It must be that girl, Shizune , the one you just finally talked to"

Gai: "How'd you know that?"

Tenten: "YOU WERE THINKING OF A GIRL!"

Tenten gives a squeal.

Lee: "No wonder..."

Tenten takes Gai's hand and runs over to the hokage's office. Lee runs from behind while wiping the tears he has cried. Neji...walks.

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

Around Hokage's Office

Shizune was pacing back and forth with no comment as TonTon follows from the back. Tsunade was fixing up the papers Shizune was bringing.

Tsunade: "Shizune?"

No reply.

Tsunade: "SHIzune?"

Again no reply.

Tsunade: "SHIZUNE!"

Shizune turns around.

Shizune: "huh?"

Tsunade: "Man! I've just called you three times! and you give me a "huh?"

TonTon sighs from the back sounding like a "bphew".

Shizune: "I'm sorry Tsunade-sama...Is there something you'd like me to do?"

Tsunade: "Yes, but before that why are you much more quieter than ever?"

Shizune: "Something...just something.."

Tsunade: "Something? What do you mean something?"

Shizune: "Just something"

Tsunade gives Shizune a glare. Shizune sweat drops.

Tsunade: "Tell me an explanation later but right now I want you to go and get groceries."

Shizune nods her head yes and leaves with TonTon.

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

10 Minutes Later

TenTen bursts through the door with Gai waving her hands happily. Lee comes right after and waves too.

TenTen: "HI TSUNADE-SAMA!"

Lee: "Ohayo!"

Tsunade sighs.

Tsunade: "What do you want?"

TenTen: "Just passing by...and bored."

Tsunade: "Where's Neji?"

Lee points out where Neji is still walking in the back. Tsunade sighs again nodding her head like how he is usually late.

Lee: "So where's Shizune-senpai?"

Tsunade: "Sent her off to get food..."

TenTen: "We'll wait!"

Gai has a shocked face and sweat drops.

About abother 15 minutes later Shizune was walking by with TonTon. She had two bags of all these random food items she bought.

TenTen: "There she is!"

TenTen pushes Gai outside.

Gai: "W-What are you doing Tenten!"

TenTen: "Something"

Tsunade nods her head again with her hand on her forehead mummering "Why me..."

Neji was on the stairs watching outside and sees Gai pass by. He notices Gai walk up to Shizune and waving and saying "Hi" which freaked her out. The bags almost fall but Gai gets the bags as fast as he could. Neji watches closely.

Gai: "Sorry I scared you"

Shizune: "It's okay, I just didn't expect you here already"

TonTon walks up the steps as Shizune and Gai come up right after with one bag in one of each arms.

Shizune: "Back with the food Tsunade-sama!"

Tsunade: "Neh..."

Shizune places the bags on top of Tsunade's desk. She begins to pick up a piece of the food to put away until Tsunade stops her.

Tsunade: "I got this covered...you go talk to Gai outside"

Shizune looks in confusement.

Shizune: "Are you sure?"

Tsunade: "Yes...TENTEN,LEE NEJI! COME HERE!"

TenTen and Lee walk up to the desk. Neji tries to walk away till TenTen grabs him from the shirt collar and brings him in.

Tsunade: "Go outside and chat for a while...I'm gonna have a talk with these 3"

Shizune: "Uhmm...if you say so..."

Gai walks out the door with Shizune. They both look at each other very confused.

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

Once They Leave

Tsunade: "You 3 will put these food away"

Lee: "On it!"

Lee takes one bag and puts all the food in there in it's place under a minute.

TenTen: "Tsunade-sama...is there something you wanted to talk about with the 3 of us?"

Tsunade: "Yes...is there something you know about Shizune? She's been quiet."

Tsunade takes a glance outside seeing Shizune begin to laugh as Gai does something dorky.

TenTen: "All I know is that Gai-sensei has been thinking about her"

Tsunade turns her head slowly looking at Tenten.

Tsunade: "ARE YOU SERIOUS!"

Neji: "It's true."

Jiraiya comes through the window of the office with a bump on his head.

Jiraiya: "Gah...you shouted so loud I fell down! What is with you!"

Tsunade was speechless at this moment while TenTen told about Gai and Shizune.

Jiraiya: "Ah! I see that they are getting along now"

Neji: "Does that mean Shizune has been having a thought about Gai too?"

Tsunade: "Well she said "Something" each time I asked why she's been quiet...does that mean she's been thinking about Gai or something like that?"

Lee: "I don't know you tell me"

Jiraiya: "Hold up"

Jiraiya hops down the window and comes between Shizune and Gai. They both were freaked out how he came out of no where.

TenTen: "I wonder what he is doing..."

Tsunade: "I don't know."

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

Jiraiya scratches head head having a slight smile.

Jiraiya: "Sorry"

Shizune & Gai: "That's okay"

Jiraiya: "Well I must be off to train Naruto again!"

Jiraiya walks slowly away. As Shizune and Gai began talking again Jiraiya quickly hid behind tall boxes stacked up in a store and began to spy on Shizune and Gai.

Shizune: "So you did keep your promise!"

Gai gave a smile.

Gai: "If I hadn't kept your promise I'd do 1200 laps around Konoha and then climb Mount Hokage with just one finger!"

Shizune laughs and says, "That's pretty extreme, don't you think?"

Gai gives a couple of blinks. He changes to a position which has a shining sunset in the back.

Gai: "Everything is Possible for Maito Gai!"

Shizune cracks up as he does a pose with himself pointing up to the sky.

Gai stops and laughs too while scratching his head.

Jiraiya comes back up through the window, without being noticed.

Tsunade: "So why'd you leave?"

Jiraiya: "Did a little spying...you know how good I'm at it!"

Neji: "Hiding behing cartriges of boxes about your height?"

Jiraiya gives a mad stare at Neji.

Tsunade: "Nevermind Neji, but what did you hear?"

Jiraiya: "Just a promise and the thing Gai would do if he didn't promise."

Tsunade: "So that's the reason."

Jiraiya: "And Shizune really seems like she's enjoying hanging with Gai...with all those giggling and laughing with his weird poses...you know"

TenTen: "Awww Gai-sensei is making Shizune-senpai happy!"

Lee: "YOSH!"

Neji,Lee and TenTen take a look out the window where they can see Gai and Shizune clearly. They see how he is doing poses and making jokes making her crack up to much. TonTon watches Shizune laugh so much than usual. Gai cracks up too after the poses.

Jiraiya: "See"

Neji: "..."

Lee: "She's really cracking up!"

TenTen: "It's cute!"

Jiraiya whispers something to Tsunade.

Tsunade: "You three have to leave for a while...This is a time for the Jounin to talk."

TenTen and Lee sigh with a sad face. Neji just left the office already.

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

2 minutes later, Shizune and Gai were still outside with their chat. Then at the door of the hokage's office Kakashi and Rin (Yes. Rin is back in this story) come inside.

Kakashi sighs while saying: "Why did we have to come here again?"

Tsunade: "You need to help me fix up something..."

Rin: "Something? What "Something"?

Jiraiya: "We are going to write letters to Shizune and Gai"

Kakashi: "What do you mean? Write them about how weird and crazy they are?"

Tsunade: "NO!"

Jiraiya sweat drops and says: "You know a "letter"..."

Rin and Kakashi look at each other still confused.

Tsunade: "We're all just gonna write a letter to make them go out!"

Kakashi kinda coughs. Rin jumps up with a "YAY!".

Jiraiya: "Alright"

Jiraiya hands them each a piece of paper.

Jiraiya: "You both are going to think and write"

Kakashi: "Why us?"

Tsunade: "You both know what they like...write!"

Rin already begins writing and Kakashi sighs writing down already this:

Dear Gai,

You know how much you like green?

Rin glances and sweat drops.

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

End of Chapter 2

Next Chapter:

Chapter 3: "Writing the Letters"

Mostly this is just the part where you hear a lot of mistakes and how Rin and Kakashi have trouble writing and re-reading what they wrote. Right after that you get to see what Shizune had wrotten down on her letter and what was wrotten down with Gai's letter.
