Just Ludicrous: Chapter 19
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Neji beamed as she slurped noodles. They weren't quite as good as where she usually went, but it was ramen.
Once the group had arrived in Konoha, Ningyo had suggested that they get some food before reporting to the Hokage. Ningyo and Iruka's treat. They had all trouped to the teashop, where Neji had immediately demanded ramen. Ningyo had actually removed her mask, and while Sasayaki, Neji, and Sakusen had been initially been curious, they ultimately realized that it wasn't Kakashi's real face, and had lost interest.
There was a commotion at the door. Gai sensei had entered with his team, spotted Ningyo, and had stopped dead. Lee was crying something along the lines of "Go for it, my youthful Sensei!" while Tenten and Neji Hyuuga watched. The Hyuuga hadn't noticed who Gai was looking at, simply because Gai blocked the entire doorway. He got a chance when Gai summoned up his courage, and approached the table.
The amount of chakra used by the group was so great Neji could practically see it without the Byakugan. It stood out like caked, bad makeup. There was Jiraiya, who used who knew how many jutsus, a woman that was obviously Iruka-sensei (though why on earth was he using a Sexy no Jutsu??), and two silver haired people. The Hyuuga gulped.
Gai, apparently, did not have as much insight as Neji Hyuuga, because he leant toward the silver haired woman. "Hello, there," he attempted a suave smile, "gorgeous."
Ningyo choked into her cup of tea, slopping it on the table.
"I am the Green Beast of Konoha, Mighty Gai. What's your name?" Gai winked.
By accident, Sasayaki dropped her cup of tea, and the hot liquid spread across the table. "Sorry, Ningyo sensei," she muttered, mopping the tea up.
"Ningyo, eh? You're as pretty as a doll, I wish I could bring you home with me." in the following silence, Neji Uzumaki's chopsticks fell unnoticed into her bowl, splashing broth everywhere. Ningyo seemed frozen in place.
The Kakashi shadow clone sighed and stood up, facing Gai. "Alright, Gai, that's enough."
"Ah, my eternal rival, Kakashi. Are we competing for this beautiful lady's heart?" Gai then seized Ningyo's hand and kissed it. Ningyo looked horrified.
Neji Hyuuga face-palmed. Tenten, who had a fair idea what was going on, gagged. Iruka was trying not to crack up, and the team 7 students were trying not to be ill.
Kakashi rolled his eye. "Really, Gai, not now."
"Ahah! Have I finally worn you out?"
" . . . N- . . . no . . ." Kakashi looked a little weirded himself.
"Then I shall not sleep until I have won this lady's heart!"
"What ever. But I promise you, falling for Ningyo is a big mistake."
Gai laughed, and spoke to Ningyo. "Undoubtedly, falling for a pretty lady is always dangerous, isn't that right, Ningyo-chan?"
Kakashi pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed deeply. "Gai, just stop."
"Why, is she your sister?"
Kakashi leaned over and whispered something in Gai's ear. By now, Iruka was crying, she was laughing so hard.
Gai's eyes widened in shock, and he leapt away from the two silver haired people, giving out a yell of horror and blushing furiously. Then, as casually as he could, he strolled out of the restaurant, followed by a bemused Lee, and two disgruntled students. From outside, the group heard Lee's shout of "Never fear, Gai-sensei! There's always tomorrow!"
Iruka howled with laughter. Ningyo glared. Neji and Sakusen joined in with the laughter, as did Jiraiya. Ningyo and Kakashi, finally seeing the humor in the scenario, shrugged and chuckled.
Sasayaki just muttered, "The sooner this jutsu is over, the better."
-o-o-o-o-o-
Tsunade raised an eyebrow as the group trouped into her office. "What the hell-"
Kakashi raised a hand apologetically. "Sorry about this."
Tsunade shook her head wearily and waved a hand, brushing it off.
"So, how did the missions go?"
Kakashi shrugged. "One, abysmally. The other, fantastically."
The students turned to the two silver haired adults. Sakusen spoke up. "Missions? As in plural? But you only told us about one!"
"So which failed, Kakashi? And for god's sake drop those jutsus!"
"Alright," agreed Ningyo. She dropped the shadow clone jutsu. Then she began a complex string of hand signs. In a cloud of smoke, Kakashi sensei stood. Neji simply made the hand sign and cried "Kai!" Naruto appeared. Sakusen soon followed, as did Iruka sensei.
"Bu- But I thought-?!" chorused Naruto and Sakura. Iruka grinned guiltily and shrugged.
Sasayaki tried a third time. Nothing. Naruto glanced over at her, then grinned evilly.
"You know, the only reason why Sasuke wouldn't be able to drop the jutsu was if he was pregnant!"
