Chapter 2
The next morning Lee woke up to a big surprise. He was still wrapped in Gai's arms and his head was resting on Gai's chest. Lee whimpered and blushed as he felt Gai pull him closer. His eyes grew half lidded and he felt a strange tingling in his lower region.
"I love you." Gai whispered in his sleep. Lee's heart beat quickened and his eyes grew wide.
"Gai…" Lee whispered as he looked up at his sensei.
"Akiko." Gai held lee closer and nuzzled his face into Lee's hair. Lee frowned and looked away from Gai. He slowly squirmed out of Gai's embrace and crawled out of the tent. He sighed and walked into the woods to calm down and use the bathroom. When he returned Gai was just coming out of the tent.
Good morning Lee!" Gai said with a yawn. When he saw Lee looked like he had been crying he got worried. "Lee what's wrong?"
"N-nothing." Lee choked out. Gai lifted a hand to wipe Lee's tears away but Lee backed away and lowered his head to hide his blush. Gai opened his mouth to ask again but lee silenced him with a smile.
"Really. My eyes were just adjusting to the light." Lee lied, resisting the urge to punish himself later for it.
"If you say so." Gai said a hint of worry still evident in his voice. He turned away from his ex-student and began to get dressed. Lee did the same but couldn't get a certain question out of his mind.
"Gai-sensei." He finally said. "Who is Akiko?" Gai froze and remained silent for a moment.
"Where…did you hear that name?" Gai said with a slightly shaky voice. Lee flinched and began to think it was a bad idea to ask.
"You said it in your sleep." He replied. "But if you do not want to say it is alright." Lee turned away from Gai and began to pack up everything else.
"Lee." Lee felt Gai walk up behind him and turned around to see Gai pull something out of his vest. "This is Akiko." He unfolded the piece of paper and handed it to Lee. Lee looked at it and saw it was a picture of Gai and some girl that he didn't recognize. The girl looked to twenty-three at the time the picture was taken. She was about 5'5'' tall, making her quite a bit shorter then Gai. She had shoulder length brown hair with her bangs falling over beautiful light blue eyes.
"She was my fiancée." Gai said sadly.
"Huh? Was." He asked and paused when he saw the sad look on Gai's face. "I am so sorry." He looked back at Lee and smiled.
"I met here thirteen years ago when I was twenty-one. I proposed to here about four years after we got to gather and four months after I started teaching you, Neji and Tenten." Gai explained. "But shortly after she was killed on a mission."
"Sorry." Lee whispered and decided he would punish himself later for asking the question and making Gai sad.
"I promised I would never take another lover after that." Gai whispered. Lee flinched and looked down at the ground as Gai took the picture back. The words Gai said rang in his mind over and over again like a loud bell. He felt heart broken. Gai said he would never take another lover, so why should he be an acceptation?
"Lee! Time to go!" Gai exclaimed as he finished packing and jumped onto Lee's back to make him come back to reality. Lee yelped and accidentally feel face first onto the ground.
"Ouch. That hurted." Lee whined as Gai got up off of him.
"That's why you shouldn't space out Lee." Gai said in a joking kind of tone. Lee giggled as he got up and grabbed his bag.
"Sensei."
"Hmm?" Gai looked back at Lee with a questioning look.
"I am sorry if I upset you." Lee said as he looked down with a sad look again.
"Lee you don't need to be sorry." Gai said as he lifted Lee's face up by his chin. Lee blushed but smiled back at Gai. He allowed Gai to wrap his arm around his shoulders and they began to walk. After a few minutes Lee suddenly got an idea on how to teas Gai.
"Hey Gai-sensei, if you have not been with someone for nine years what do you do about your sexual needs." He said teasingly and delighted in the blush that spread across the older mans cheeks.
"Lee I don't think that's an appropriate subject to be talking about." He said, but there was a slight hint of nervousness in his voice. Lee giggled at the look on Gai's face.
"Aw poor Gai-sensei." He purred and Gai wrapped his arm completely around Lee's neck in a head lock. "Gah I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Lee choked as he tried to squirm away.
