"Over dangos"
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x
-So… – Asuma looked indifferently at his friend
-So? So! Is that really all you can come up with! - Gai stood up hitting the table with his hands, but seeing his friend's unmoving face he opted to finally sit down again and address his anger to the still warm dangos waiting in the table to be eaten.
-Now now, that can't be healthy- Asuma looked more disgusted than worried, but at least he finally seemed to be paying attention now –Besides… people have ears you know, do you really think it wise to be discussing this here?-
The two ninjas looked at each other for a moment before finally sighing.
-Alright… so everybody knows- the dark man rolled his eyes –But what about it, do you want to give them more reasons to talk? - He raised his eyebrow and put a new cigarette in his mouth.
Gai seemed to contemplate his friend's words for a while –Whatever…- he sighed –It's just that I cannot believe Iruka is banging Genma you know… he just doesn't seem the type- he spaced off for a minute and then shook his head.
-You are so vulgar…- Asuma laughed –And just because you're not getting any doesn't mean we other fellows can't.
-Rub it in why don't you- Gai looked at his friend with loathe –And could you explain to me, just why is it that we always end up talking about your sex life? – And in a stroke of brilliancy he added –I bet Kurenai wouldn't like it one bit would she… I mean… were she to find out of course…- He said while pretending to clean his nails enjoying every second of his now increasingly white and sweaty friend's face.
-You wouldn't…- Asuma gulped.
-Wouldn't I? - Gai stared maliciously at him, his nails forgotten.
-GAI SENSEEEEEIIII!- An enormous cloud of dust was approaching them fast –GAI SENSEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIII!-
The two adults stared at the talking mass and saw how it rapidly transformed on the figure they knew so well, Gai blinked a couple of times before stopping his pupil's run with a powerful (and what looked to be a very painful) punch on the face.
The time stopped of course, as it always happen when everyone is staring at the same thing, but soon everyone returned to their own business as if nothing had happen on the first place… don't they always?
-Gai sensei? – was all Lee could mumble from the floor considering the hit he'd just received.
-Lee! What have I told you about running around like that!- Asuma stared after his friend, he was now in all "Konoha green beast" mode, standing firmly with his hands on the waist -peter pan wannabe- he mused while putting another cigarette on his lips, he had left the other one fall from them when the kid arrived.
-I'M SORRY GAI SENSEI! - Lee had gotten on his knees rather quickly, a pleading look haunting his eyes.
-This kid sure likes drama- Asuma thought, breathing out the smoke from his lungs
-DON'T BE LEE! YOU MUST TREASURE THE BEAUTIFULNESS OF YOUTH'S ENERGY FOR IT MAY COME THE DAY WHEN YOU NO LONGER HOLD IT! - were Gai's inspired words, all the while looking regretfully at the horizon.
-DON'T SAY THAT SENSEI! - Lee who was on the verge of tears, misunderstood his teacher–YOU'RE STILL SO YOUNG!-
At his words, Gai froze and his eye began to twitch and Asuma that up till that point had gone unnoticed by Lee was now choking. The young genin, who could not fathom his doing on both teachers state, simply stared.
-Gai sen…- Lee started after a moment, fearing he might have done something wrong
-But you came here for something Lee! - Was Gai's attempt to regain composure –What is it!- He said enthusiastically showing his big bright smile.
Lee stared at his teacher and smiling back he said –Naruto was looking for you sir! I thought it was my duty to help him find you! – He stood impossible straight and determined.
-OH LEE! ONCE AGAIN YOU'D SHOWN ME YOU ARE THE PERFECT STUDENT! NOW GO AND FIND THAT FRIEND OF YOURS LEE! - Gai had watery eyes and was looking at Lee proudly
-Gai sensei…- Lee's lips were trembling but soon he got it together and nodding he began his race again, this time returning for the path he had first come from.
-GO LEE GO! - screamed Gai waving his hands away while looking at his precious pupil go.
Gai was still staring at the path his student had taken when Asuma interrupted his thoughts –So you're old uh? - He smirked
Looking at his friend Gai sighed –That went right up my arse didn't it? – He looked somewhat tired and took the sit he was on before –So… what were we talking about? –Gai said calling the waitress and asking for some more dangos since they had no left.
-Lets see… we were talking about how you were getting all old and wrinkled and that you needed someone to for lack of better words "bang", honestly man, this train of yours has way passed the station, and let me tell you this diet you are trying now- He signalled the dangos the little lady has gotten them, breathed in some more of his beloved cigarette and continued- will not do anything for you either- He smiled widely.
-Smart ass- Gai said putting yet another dango in his mouth, munching angrily –Doesn't matter though…- He smiled back at his friend, getting another bite from his food.
-…-
-…-
-Oh… my... God- Asuma put his cigarette down and stared at his friend with wide eyes –You have someone! - Gai didn't pay him attention, just sat there, eating happily and enjoying his friend's dropped jaw –You have someone don't you? You bastard! Why didn't you tell me? Who is it? - Asuma was anxiously waiting for him to respond, smiling like a kid before Christmas.
Gai was pretending coolness of course–Alright…- he finally said, with the same tone one uses when giving in to some kid's demands –I will not tell you how but-
-Is it a girl? It's one of the guys at the bar we went last night isn't it? No wait, is it a chuunin? - Asuma interrupted –The jounins you requested to join you in next week assignment aren't they? Ohhh… a threesome… kinky- Asuma was in his own little world now, smiling like an idiot.
-m'kay…- was all Gai could say –Do you realize how much unneeded not to say unwanted information you just gave me? – He stared at his friend –Besides, you can come down from you cloud now, all I did was… lets say… a favour- he nodded –yes, a favour-
-A favour? – Asuma asked confused –Who could have asked you for a "favour" now- He rolled his eyes a bit angered at being pushed back to reality, bringing a dango into his mouth absentmindedly
-I did it for Kakashi really, he w…-
-WHAT! – Asuma fall out from his chair and began choking for the second time that day –YOU FUCKED KAKASHI!- His eyes were a funny sight to see, almost popping out of his head; he quickly got up from the floor though, sitting down even quicker and coming closer to Gai, as to not draw anymore attention –You fucked Kakashi!- He scream-whispered.
-God no! - Gai pulled a disgusted face –how could you… how do you… God! no! – He shivered.
Asuma was still looking at him, not quite sure if he was telling the truth yet –Well… you do, you know… swing for both teams, how am I to believe you didn't… and Kakashi was…- Asuma looked to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
-Swing for both teams, god… you're such a child- Gai laughed –No, all I did as I said, let me remind you, was doing someone a favour, I was trying to help Kakashi and well… I guess the sex part was really more for me…- He spaced off
Asuma was looking at Gai with wider and wider eyes by the second so said friend could not help but to break on laughing.
-You're such an arse! – Asuma pouted
After a few minutes with Gai laughing and Asuma's stares the silence was finally broken.
-So… if it wasn't Kakashi, then, who did you get laid with? – Asuma was frowning –and how exactly did that help our sulking friend-
-Well I'm very glad you finally asked me Sarutobi- Gai smirked
-And I'll be even gladder if you cut the crap and answer me Maito- Asuma said getting annoyed
-Jeez, you have no patience do you? – Gai faked annoyance too –anyway, remember how Kakashi wouldn't go and ask Raidou about Genma? – Gai waited a few seconds so his friend would catch up.
-O… Oh- Asuma finally seemed to understand –getting answers and still managing to share the love uh? - Asuma did a small bow –I bow to you sir-
-Thank you lad, but what can I say… I have a generous soul, I do- smirked Gai playing along.
-So? What did you discover? – Asuma got serious all of the sudden –Is Genma playing with our Chuunin? –
-Well… I wouldn't be too sure, Raidou and him were together up to the week before Genma kissed Iruka, some petty fight Raidou told me- Gai added seeing his friend's confused face –But until he saw them kissed he never suspected once he was being cheated so…-
-So you think Genma did it to get Raidou jealous don't you? – Asuma filled in
-Well that's the thing… I don't really know, He got Raidou jealous alright, but then, if that was all he wanted, why stay with Iruka still? – Gai and Asuma stayed quiet for a while, both of them thinking.
-So… you think Genma got attached to Iruka after the kiss- Asuma said slowly –Am I right? –
-Yes, that's what the evidences show anyway- Gai looked contemplative and Asuma felt like disrupting him of course.
-And you made sweet love to dear Raidou because…- he moved his hands towards Gai for him to fill in the information required.
Gai laughed –Well. The poor thing was feeling lonely and who am I to say no when a friend needs help? –
Asuma looked at him suspiciously and said –well, remind me to never go to you in times of need then- he wrinkled his nose in disgust.
At that gesture Gai could not help but laugh harder.
-Think about it my friend, two people can play that game, Raidou was just trying to make Genma jealous, and that too can work at our advantage, them getting together and happy, Kakashi going to his beloved chuunin's help as the chivalrous gentlemen we know him to be and we finally getting to do something else than Kakashi's errands for once, not that I care mind you- Gai smiled at the frown his friend was giving him.
-Well look who got brains all of the sudden- Asuma continued eying his friend
-Sex does that to people- Gai smiled proudly
-You do realize that if you are correct then you were the one played right? –Asuma's face brighten up
-Say whatever you want my friend- Gai laughed –I got laid- he said in a sing song voice.
-Whatever…- Asuma rolled his eyes for what seemed to be the umpteenth time that morning–But there's a minor detail that annoys me on this plan of yours- he took a moment to look at Gai –How do you exactly think Genma will find out 'bout you two? Cuz I honestly don't think Raidou coming up to him and telling him what you did would work, he might think he was just bluffing you know? And besides, one thing is to kiss someone and another completely different is to have sex with them, do you think Genma will forgive him? –Asuma was a little worried about the outcome of the whole plotting idea; they after all, could not know how strongly Genma would react after hearing the news.
-You're forgetting my friend, that I am as near as invincible as you will ever meet- he mocked Asuma's worries away, reading correctly his concerned face –Besides, as I told you before, Genma is going at it with the teacher so…-
-You're not sure of that- Asuma cut in –On what grounds do you base that affirmation?–
-Well… Kakashi told me- Gai answered as if that statement would end all controversies.
-Is that it? Kakashi told you? And how does he know? - Asuma could not believe the academy sensei would be with Genma so quickly, after all, they had come up with the conclusion that they hadn't been together for long, had they not? –Never mind, even if they are, there's still the little problem of finding out don't you think?-
-Oh but you see, that's the least of our problems really- He mocked his friend again, waiting for the notion to hit him.
-Oh… you're not saying what I think you are… are you? - Asuma's naturally tan face began to redden, he had at least the decency to blush Gai mused
-come on, I know you were counting the seconds to go and tell your precious Kurenai what we just talked- Gai laughed –You should really see your face! –
-That's a completely out of place commentary for you to make you know- started Asuma while standing up taking the box of cigarettes from the table and placing it on his vest pocket –and I honestly don't know why would you…-
-Alright I'm sorry I'm sorry- Gai pleaded, being careful not to laugh so he wouldn't offend his partner any further.
Asuma took a look at his friend's face as to see if he really meant it, and after some thought he took his sit back. Once sitting he sighed -who am I kidding, I will, but I resent the fact that you presume it you know? – He smiled weakly facing Gai.
-And… not even a word about Kurenai's tendency to spill everything I've said to her after… well, the record was on thirty minutes… that's an improvement right?- Asuma's voice was pleading.
Gai on his hand, made a gesture zipping up his mouth –Won't say a word mate- but he couldn't really resist that much now could he? -As long as your lady does I have no need right?-
-Fuck you Gai- Asuma stood again this time with the full purpose of finally leaving.
Realizing he was going to be left off with the bill to pay, Gai sighed and left some billets and coins and went after his fellow jounin all the while screaming for him to wait up, he wasn't going to let him off the hook that easily.
Five minutes later, the same scenario found two different friends arguing about a completely different matter.
-You said he was going to be here! - Naruto was crossing his arms and pouting at Lee
-But he was! – Answered an ashamed Rock Lee –I left him right there! – He said pointing at the very same place he had seen his teacher a while ago.
-Whatever, wanna go and find Sasuke-teme? – He brightened up, all purpose of finding his weird friend's teacher going down the drain –I bet we can take him down!-
-Sure! - And with that they left.

Author's note: O.o
I know I've taken a lot of time, so so so so sorry! Don't know what else to say, I know I should have delivered a better chapter than this one, but I did it today, I sort of felt bad for not updating it sooner so…
I remember someone asked me who Zizou was (or what was it lol) well children gather around, haha, Zizou is a "soccer" (for me it'll always be futbol) player, the greatest of this time, he played for France, maybe you know all the head hit fiasco, well he was the one.
Also, sometime ago, I did some draws for another author in fanfiction, I'm too lazy to put it on my page (or to create one for that matter) but she put it in hers, so I'm sending you lot to watch them, her pen name is: Still Forgotten, but you can also look her up with her story "Nothing to Lose" you'll find my pictures on her profile page, tell me what do you think about it ok? Who knows, maybe I'll draw something for this fic too… I'm lazy though, so I don't promise anything.
