Chapter 6: "Heartbeat"

By Kanuya(YinYangGirls)

Gai was trying to loose his cool while holding Shizune's hand. He was trying to make it last while it can since he wasn't sure if she was going to actually let go. Shizune was slightly blushing. The were at the stairs of the hokage's mountain. Gai stopped and Shizune stopped as she took one step onto the stairs.

Shizune: "Are we going up the stairs?"

Gai: "Yeah...you can go first I'll be there in a second."

Shizune nods her head yes with a smile and slowly let's go of Gai's hand walking up the steps. Gai takes out this one black smooth box in his pocket. He opens it inhaling and exhaling slowly. He closes it and looks up at Shizune. She turned around waving smiling. He waved back smiling and walked up. Once Shizune and Gai got to the top of the area in front of the mountain they saw the sunset. It made the whole village look peaceful. Shizune was amazed at the view.

Shizune: "Wow! This is the best view in Konoha!"

Gai: "See I told you it would be the best!"

Shizune nodded her head.

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

On top a roof near the mountain, Tenten, Lee and Neji were watching Gai and Shizune. The roof had a great view of where the area they can see both Gai and Shizune.

Tenten: "Great! Now we can see what will happen!"

Lee: "Good thing Sakura-chan took over the hosting and Sasuke-kun took over the music!"

Neji: "And I'm here because?"

Tenten: "Because you need to see this!"

Neji sighed crossing his arms.

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

Gai walked up to Shizune and stood next to her. She felt his shoulder accidentally bump to her shoulder. Shizune looked at Gai who was watching the sunset.

Shizune:

: I wonder how he knew this was the best view in Konoha...even though I've been here I never got the chance to see this sunset...:

Gai:

: Erg...I must do something else then just stand next to her...:

They both seemed like they were lost in thought.

Tenten: "Dang it Gai-sensei do something!"

Lee: "Go GAI-SENSEI!!"

Tenten hit his head making him have a bump form.

Shizune: "Did you hear that Gai?"

Gai: "I thought that was Lee's voice..."

Shizune: "hmm..."

Gai: "We must be both dazed out"

Shizune giggled. She puts her hands behind he back swaying right and left. She hummed the song that she danced with Gai at the restaurant. Gai stared at her with a confused look. He shook his head and took Shizune's hands clasped with his hands.

Gai: "Shizune...I need to say something."

Shizune turned red from that out-of-nowhere-random holding both hands with Gai.

Shizune: "Uh...er...yes Gai?"

Tenten was still watching with her eyes concentrating on those two. Lee's eyes went into flames saying in his mind "You can do it Gai-sensei! Youth will lead you to your true love!".

Gai: "You may know that I've been having you on my mind...and..."

Shizune's heart began beating rapidly. Waiting for the words he would say. Gai began stuttering with his words. Tenten was shaking Lee trying not to say anything. Lee was in so much pressure trying not to make a jump in to make Gai say the words. Neji sighed.

Shizune: "and?"

Gai: "a-and...and...uhmm..."

The sunset finally lit down. Tenten and Lee jumped behind Gai and Shizune, they both pushed Gai and Shizune close together.

Tenten & Lee: "SAY THE WORDS!"

Gai and Shizune's faces turned bright red. Suddenly Gai and Shizune turned around and looked at Tenten and Lee.

Gai: "Lee...why are you here?"

Shizune: "Yeah! Why are you both here? Tenten?"

Tenten and Lee sweat dropped.

Tenten: "Uhh...err..."

Gai: "Lee, you know this is un-gentleman like..."

Lee: "I'm sorry Gai-sensei!"

Shizune: "Were you both following us?"

Lee: "More like stalking Neji is down there!"

Tenten: "You idiot!"

Lee: "What?"

Tenten smacked her face. Gai and Shizune looked at each other and sighed.

Shizune: "Well...can we have some alone time now Tenten and Lee?"

Tenten sighed.

Tenten: "Fine...but...tell me what happens tomorrow!"

Lee: "Yeah! I want to know about the whole story!"

They both waved bye while Tenten was still sighing.

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

Gai walked to one side and paced around.

Shizune: "So what were you trying to say Gai?"

Gai stopped before taking another step. He took out the box he had earlier and hid it behind his back while walking up to Shizune.

Gai: "First I want you to close your eyes."

Shizune: "Close my eyes? But why?"

Gai: "It's a surprise!"

Shizune sighed and closed her eyes. Gai puts the box in her hands.

Shizune: "Eh?"

Gai: "You can open your eyes now!"

Shizune opened her eyes and opened her hands looking at the box.

Shizune: "Huh?"

Gai: "Open it! and you'll see..."

Shizune opened the box and there she saw it. A necklace. It had little marks around it with flowers.

Shizune: "A necklace?"

Gai: "I know it's old fashion...but I had nothing else to give to you for today...I had too much in thought to know what you'd like on this date..."

Shizune blushed. She spots little markings inside the box and looked closer into it.

To: Shizune

For a one chance in a life time to say one thing.

"I love you"

-Gai

Gai was still trying to explain the whole story when Shizune read the words in the box. She smiled at him with her best smile ever. Not the everyday smile. It was a smile that made Gai stop and look at her. Her eyes also showed with joy as she began to jump. Gai notices and catches her hug, which made him lose balance and fell down. He clasped his hands around her waist holding her.

Shizune: "So you care? You care about me!"

Gai stopped in a short moment and smiled looking at Shizune.

Gai: "Yes. I do. By the youthful days of my life! I love you Shizune. and only you."

Shizune hugs Gai tighter. She looked up at him as Gai looks at her. Slowly their faces cam closer to each other. They kissed. Both heads depart.

Shizune: "And by now you know I love you too"

Gai: "From the kiss I say yes I knew."

Shizune and Gai laughed. Suddenly some foot steps came in.

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

Familiar Voice: "So Shizune. You have to tell me why your on Gai like that."

Shizune turned her head and noticed Tsunade. She also noticed how half of the jounin who were at the restaurant showed up as well.

Shizune: "Ah! Tsunade-sama!"

Both Gai and Shizune popped up standing with both of them blushing. Anko came up to Shizune and notices the necklace.

Anko: "OooOOoo! What is this!"

Shizune: "None of your beeswax!"

Shizune stuck her tongue at Anko.

Anko: "You are going to tell Tsunade-sama and me the story!"

Shizune: "Maybe!"

Anko began chasing Shizune.

Jiraiya: "You too Gai. You have to tell us about your story with Shizune!"

Gai: "Ugh..."

Kakashi gave a nudge to Asuma.

Asuma: "Hm?"

Kakashi: "You know. It's weird how Gai got together with Shizune already before you and Kurenai"

Asuma slightly blushed and looked away from Kakashi.

Asuma: "Just shut up Kakashi."

Kakashi laughed.

Kurenai took Anko by the collar for her to stop chasing Shizune. Iruka sighed.

Tsunade: "Well let's go then! Meet at my office so Shizune and Gai can tell me the whole story!"

Shizune & Gai: "WAH!"

Everyone laughed and started to walk away. The last two was Shizune and Gai walked from the behind holding hands.
