AN: Hello! Yes, I've started another GaiKaka story :) I have just finished Ramen Soup for the Soul and the other two fics I'm working on are quite dark so thought I would start another fun and cutesy one when I need a break from the more serious ones. There are a few other fics which kind of inspired this, In Love by Surrepticious Chi x and Bathwater by Thisloser and there was another I can't for the life of me find on here when Team 7 wanted to help Gai woo Kakashi. Anyway I hope you enjoy.

This is one fic where I haven't actually got the whole thing planned out yet so I will see where this takes me. Any suggestions please let me know but it will be sweet, light and funny (I hope!).

Warning: Yeah this is yaoi so don't read if it's not your thing.

Chapter 1

It was a bright sunny afternoon in Konoha. For one particular group of kunoichi, it was a lazy afternoon. They all had that Sunday off, and for once Ten Ten had managed to escape her sensei's and Rock Lee's irritating advice that she should voluntarily give up her free time on one of her few days off and train with them some more. After all, the chunin exams had already past and none of the four had made it into the final rounds. Yes they all knew they should train some more to make sure they were ready next time, but right now they had some time to let go of those worries and talk about some more urgent matter.

"I hope Sasuke returns home soon," Sakura sighed.

"For once we agree," Ino joined, her eyes glazing dreamily at the sullen Uchiha's memory.

The four girls lay on the grass in one of Konoha's public gardens. There was a koi pond to their left with a wooden bride with sakura blossoms strewn about. The trees were a short way off but every now and then a gentle breeze carried a few petals towards them.

"I'm sure he will return to me one day..." Sakura said dreamily.

Ino sat up. "You wish forehead. He will return to me."

"What's that, Ino-pig?!"

"You two, enough already," Ten Ten cut in, not even looking up as she lay on her stomach riffling through a magazine. "I've heard this conversation too many times now."

"Erm, don't worry, Naruto-kun also misses Sasuke-san," Hinata added.

"Err, yeah but not in the same way," Sakura reprimanded.

"Hmmm I wouldn't be so sure about that." Ino was grinning mischievously.

"Ewww Ino-pig! That's totally wrong! Don't be so disgusting."

"Ah come on, as if you've never read any yaoi," Ten Ten was laughing as she nudged the other girl. They all giggled.

"Yes, but not when it comes to Sasuke... He is definitely not of that persuasion."

"Ooooh I dunno, he is very broody and handsome. He must turn the heads of men as well as women. And Naruto seems to really want him back in the village. Obsessed almost. Could be something going on there heh heh. And besides, when has Sasuke shown any interest in girls?" Ten Ten smirked.

Sakura and Ino spluttered incoherently, sure he had expressed an interest in them, clearly deluding themselves.

"But Naruto-kun has shown interest in girls..." Hinata trailed off.

Ino opened her mouth to speak, the words 'yeah but not in you' on her lips, but Ten Ten seemed to anticipate this retort and glared the blond down. Instead Ino shrugged. Then another thought crossed the mind of Asuma's student. "Hey, Ten Ten, Neji-kun is kind of similar to Sasuke, all quiet and intense. So if you think Sasuke-kun is that way inclined then that means-"

"I bet he's with Lee!" Sakura butted in. Ten Ten looked horrified. "How could Neji resist that tight jump-"

"Ergh, alright that's enough. I do have to work with them tomorrow so please save me the mental images." Ten Ten shuddered as the others were overcome with the giggles.

A sudden thump of someone landing next to them and the shadow of a green clad jonin brought an end to the mischievous laughter. The girls all sat up and shielded their eyes from the blinding glint of teeth on a huge grin.

"Ten Ten-chan!" bellowed the great green beast of Konoha."So this is why you passed over the most vigorous youthful training with me and Lee-kun? To sit around discussing boys? You can do that anytime, but how often do you have the chance to test your skills against your peers in a hot blooded-"

"Every day! You and Lee are always doing something. Come on Gai-sensei I need some girl time too..." the brown haired girl blushed, slightly embarrassed. "And we weren't talking about boys."

"Certainly you were! My ninja skills miss nothing! They are honed by constantly pushing them to their limits against my rival," Gai paused and smiled here. "And speaking of rivals, if you girls found yourselves some eternal rivals, you wouldn't waste so much of your youth talking about boys."

"But talking about Sasuke-kun is youthful..." Sakura's eyes went dreamy again. She soon snapped back to reality. "Wait, did I really just say that?"

Ino gave Gai a once over, scrutinizing him. An evil smirk spread across her face. "And maybe the reason having an eternal rival means you don't think about girls is because you like your eternal rival."

"W- what? I-" Gai began blustering, clearly shocked.

Sakura and Ino started laughing at this response but Ten Ten rounded on the two outspoken girls.

"Don't twist Gai-sensei's relationship with his rival. It's not like that! He is proud he managed to overtake Kakashi-sensei."

"What do you mean over take Kakashi-sensei?!" Sakura turned on Gai's student, vein throbbing and quick to defend her own sensei and lose her temper. "Kakashi-sensei is much tougher! And cooler!" Sakura said. She then remembered that Gai was still present and jumped. "Wait, I didn't mean it like that, I-"

But Gai was strangely quiet and for once had nothing to say. The jonin seemed to be lost in thought.

"Erm, Gai -sensei?" Ten Ten asked.

"Huh?" he replied, his thoughts clearly still elsewhere. His bushy brows were furrowed in confusion over something and his right hand scratched his chin thoughtfully.

"What is it, Gai-sensei?"

Gai stayed quiet for another few moments. Evidently he came to a decision as he suddenly looked at the young girls imploringly.

"Tell me... How do you know when you like someone? Like how you two like Sasuke-kun?"

Ten Ten's face flushed with embarrassment; she did not want to be having this conversation with her sensei- ever. Hinata watched with round, curious eyes and the other two kunoichi perked up at the topic, as if it was normal to include a grown man in their girly chatter and gossip. They looked excited, like they were taking a shy new girl at the academy under their wings.
