Hide's POV

I flew towards the hospital, molding my body back together at the front enterence. The nurse walking out of the double large glass doors seen me, ran, and caught me before I hit the hard, cold cement. Everything went back before I knew it.

...: "Doctor! Her heart is weakening! Her body is starting to shut down!"
...: "Quickly, call for Lady Tsunada! ON THE S.T.A.T. NURSE! ON THE S.T.A.T.!"

...: "My Lady, how is she?"
...: "Alive, but, just barely."
...: "How was she able to survive such an attack? That type of poison could kill animals the size of a building with just three drops, but she lived through a full-on assult."
...: "Yes, I know. It's seems to be clear now why Sarutobi-sensai had put so much responsabilty in her hands as such a child.

Gai's POV

After waiting about five hours, my students were all checked out. They were in tip-top shape and booming with youth. After they was done, we all headed to the regestration desk.

Nurse: "Hello Jounin-kun, how may I help you?"
Gai: "Hello, yes will you check to see if a Ms. Yumi Hide is in this hospital?"
Nurse: "Yumi Hide? Ok, let my see here,...uh,...oh yes! Her she is, she's in room 508."
Gai: "Thank you!"

I was there in 4 seconds, completely leaving my students in a trail of dust. I looked at the number infront of the door, I didn't know why but, I was afraid to go in. What if she was in too bad of a condition? What if she had to quit being a shinobi all because of me? What if she never wanted to talk to me again? That last part, I couldn't really blame her. Even if it was actually Tenten's fault, I would still take full responsablity because I were still her teacher. Preparing for the worst possible outcome, I took one deep breath and knocked on the door.

...: "Come in."

I opened the door and saw Hide, sitting on the propped up bed. Her hands were crossed on the banket that covered her lower half and the hospital gown she was wearing was obvisiously two sizes too big. She wasn't even looking at me when I entered. I cough loud enough for her to hear. Then finally she looked at me. Her face was completely calm, not showing any anger, saddness, nor disgust, well not any that I could detect.

Hide: "Gai-kun, What are you doing here? Actually, never mind, I'm not really surprised to see you here."
Gai: "Hide-chan, are you alright? I am so, so sorry about everything!"

Hide's POV

I watched Gai stand next to my bed. As he was saying he's sorry, I saw the tears in his eyes threatening to fall off his long under eye lashes.

Hide: "Gai-kun, don't worry about such non-scence, I'm fine."

Gai then sat on the bed and grabbed my shoulders. Tears wear now pouring out of his eyes by this point.

Gai: "No, Hide-san! It's all my fault you're here! If only I could have done something, you wouldn't be in this mess."

Then before I could react, he wrapped his arms around me and embraced me in a firm, iron locked, hug and cried on my shoulder. Out of all the people I've ever met, Gai was definetly one of a kind, I don't know if that's even a good thing any more or not. I didn't say anything as I let him cry quietly on my shoulders. I used one hand to rub the lower part of his back and I used the other hand to rub the middle and upper part of his back.

Hide: "Gai-kun, I promise you, it's not your fault."
Gai: "Yes it is." He whined.
Hide: "Gai-kun, think about it. I cut off your freaking blood flow in your leg, and certain parts in your chest. You shouldn't have been able to walk, let alone rescue both Lee and me in time. Plus, you wasn't the one who went crazy with the Purple Puff Poison."

Gai then stopped sniffling and then looked into my eyes, as if he was trying to find an awnser to a hidden question. He looked so friagel and child-like at that moment, with the sun shining through the window and making the tear stains running down his cheek glisten like millions of tiny diamons. I could now see how red and puffy his wet eyes are. He was about to say something when,...

knock knock knock

Gai began wiping away his eyes as I called my guest in. Walking in was the Neji, Lee, and Tenten.

Neji: "Sorry to intrude. Are we interupping?"
Hide: "No, of course not."

Neji nodded and walked closer to the bed. The other two staying closer behind him.

Lee: "Ms. Hide-san, I want to thank you once more for saving me. Here, I bought these on the way here. I hope you will enjoy them."

Lee pulled out a bouquet of flowers out from behind his back, very delicately placing them in my hands. It had more colors then Gai's. These flowers had every color in the rainbow. I grabbed the vase next to me and placed them in it, then pulling the vase on the thick edge next to my window, practicely bragging the varieties of colors others faces. I never saw them get such nice flowers, and because I'm a total bitch, Im showing mine off.

Hide: "Thank you Lee, they're very beautiful."
Lee: "Thank you, Ms Hide-san. and you are welcome."

Lee's smile made the room even brighter than it was before. Then shyly, Tenten walked closer to my bed. She didn't look in my eyes though she was facing me, poking her pointer finger together.

Tenten: "Ms. Hide-san, I'm really sorry I poisoned you. It's just, I grabbed the wrong scroll. The scroll I meant to grab was Red Pepper Poison, it's a very harmless practice poison. It would only paralyze you for 3 minutes. I completely forgot I had Purple Puff Poison in my pouch. So, I'm really, really sorry."
Lee: "Yes, I am sorry as well. What punishment shall we recieve for our unyouthful behaviour?"
Gai: "That's right, what shall our punishment be Hide-chan?"
Hide: "Are you nuts! I'm not punishing anyone!"
Gai: "You must! It is my team who had put you here, so the four of us must accept our failure and receive punishment."
Neji: "Hold on! Why am I getting punished?"
Lee: "Because my youthful rival, we are a team and as a team we must win and lose like a team."
Hide: "OK! Ok, I'll punish you all. Let me think."

Everyone scootch in closer, nervous, wanting to know what horrible torture that awaits their future.

Hide: "Tenten, from here on out, your never EVER allowed to poison me again, not matter how tempting it is."

Tenten smiled and nodded.

Hide: "Neji, need to be nicer to Lee. No matter how different he is from you, he's always been the one you could relay on when the times were at its toughest. Trust me, I know. Your fighting styles matched perfectly."

Neji's face soften and nodded, without saying a word.

Hide: "Gai, get me,.."
Gai: 'Get her what, get her what? Some chocolates, more flowers, a love letter promising my enternal love!'
Hide: "...Get me out Of THIS FUCKING HOSPITAL!"

Gai fell off the bed and ran out the door, followed by Tenten and Neji. Lee came closer and sat next to me on the bed.

Lee: "Umm, Ms. Hide-san. You did not tell me my punishment."
Hide: "Well, That's because I have a special punishment for you. You have to take me on a date."

His eyes widen and his cheeks turned bright red.

Lee: "Really, REALLY!"

He was so excited he started jumping up and down right on the bed, making me bounce right with him. He was just being so cute, I could stop myself from laughing. The without realizing it, he pulled me up so we were both bouncing on the bed and laughing like small children.

Gai: "Hey Hide-chan, I signed,...you,...What are you to doing?"

Lee and I stopped at mid-bounce and looked at him. Lee then left me behind, running and glomped Gai.

Lee: "Gai-sensai! I am going on a date with Ms. Hide-san! I am so happy! I knew today with be full of youthful surprises!"
Gai: "Wait a second! Hide-chan, you can't date Lee, he's too,..."

Gai couldn't even finish his sentence when he saw Lee's big tearful eyes. He knew he's unfinished sentence was hurting his lovable student. He signed.

Gai: "Lee, you mind your manners on your date."
Lee: "Yea!"
Hide: "Ok Lee, I'll meet you at the Training Grounds at 6 sharp. Ok."

Lee nodded in excitement and ran out to get ready.

Gai: "Are you insane! He's way too young, he doesn't know much about women, and on top of that,..!"
Hide: "BE QUIET!"

Gai flinched, but didn't speak.

Hide: "Lee's just starting puberty, didn't he?"
Gai: "Uhh, yes. He was asking me,...'questions' about a few weeks ago. Why?"
Hide: "Look, when he hugged me, he felt so akward. Didn't you anwser any of his questions?"
Gai: "Well,...I,...errr,...no."
Hide: "There you go. Listen, during this stage in a young man's life, it's going to be very difficult when he's around women. So, I'm gonna teach him confidence. You know, the 'do's and don'ts', so he'll have a less of a chance to embaress himself."
Gai: "I see now. That's actually a good idea. A first hand exsperiance is always the best way to learn."
Hide: "Yep, so since I'm free from the hell hole, give me two minutes to get dress and then we can leave, ok?"
Gai: "Right."

Gai stepped out so I could change. I met him out side of my room and we left. As we were walking we past a few other shinobi.

Hide: "Gai, tell me something. Who are all the Joinin in this village?"

Gai gave you every name of the Joinins.

Gai: "Why did you want to know?"
Hide: "I said if I lost to your team, then I would kiss every Joinin in this village. Saddly, even though I was only joking, I can't go back on what I said. So I need you take me to them all."

So one by one, Gai lead you to most of the Joinin, Gai of course explain everything to them so no one got a restraining order on you. You usually kissed the men on the cheek, or for the women, you kissed them by the hand. You was walking with Gai a little more before you seen a very familar face.

Hide: "Asuma? Is that you?"
Asuma: "Hide, hey wow. Look at you."
Hide: "Yeah, look at you too. Your body now matches your big head."
Asuma: "Grr,...Nice to see you too Evila."
Hide: "Yep, I missed you too Peep-squeak!"

The sparks in our eyes shot out as we were glaring at each other.

Gai: "Hold it! You two know each other?"
Asuma&Hide: "Yeah! He wasn't talking to you, he was talking to me! GRR!"

Before another part of the village got destoryed 'again', Gai pulled me away from Asuma and stayed between us before I jumped to kick his ass.

Gai: "So, how do you know each other again?"
Hide: "I used to live with him and his family when we were kids."

Gai's jaw dropped all the way to the floor.

Asuma: "Yep, it was the worst six years of my life too."
Hide: "It wasn't so great for me either, ya know!"
Asuma: "You didn't seem to think so when you kept taking 'MY' cookies and 'MY' toys!"
Hide: "You whiney little brat! I kept having to check for poison."
Asuma: "Yeah right!"
Hide: "You idiot! Don't you remember, it almost 18 years ago with your dad received a notice that enemy shinobi of the stone village was spotted in the Konoha."
Asuma: "...No one ever told me."
Hide: "That's because we were six back then, idiot. I knew about it because I was already in the Ambu and it was my job to protect you."
Asuma: "Oh Really,...Thank you,...I guess."
Hide: "Yeah sure."

I walked up to my 'brother' and kiss him on the cheek before he could stop me. He stepped back, showing the red tint in his cheeks.

Hide: "Before you say anything, I lost a bet. Ok Gai, who's next?"
Gai: "Anko."
Hide: "Alright, let's go. See ya, bro slash peep-squeak."
Asuma: "See ya sis slash Evila."

Gai lead me to a different training ground, next to were the Chunin exams are usually held. Walking closer, I see a woman, shorter than me, eating dumplings a drinking a can of soup.

Gai: "Hello Anko, how are you this fine and beautiful day?"
Anko: "Hey Gai, what's up?"
Gai: "Anko, this is Hide-chan. Hide-chan, this is Anko. Anko, Hide-chan lost a challange and she needs to kiss you."

Anko then jumped down and walked up to me, eyeing me up and down. I held out my hand to her, excepting her to give me her own hand. She just shook her head 'no' at me.

Anko: "Oh hell no, I don't want just a piece, I want the whole thing!"

Anko kicked off the ground, glomped me, and smashed her lips with mine. I lost my balance and fell back on the ground. I was struggling to get free but this crazy bitch locked her arms behind my back and also she locked her legs around my waist. I tried to yell for Gai to get her off me, big mistake. Anko took her opprotunity to explore my mouth with her tonge. I struggled even more, not realling want to bite her tonge off and 'accidently' making her bleed to death. After a few more moments, she finally got off of me, pulling me up on my feet with her. As I was too traumatized to move or think, I watch her wipe the little trail of spit off of her mouth and chin. I shiverd. She then walked closer to me and tucked a small piece of into the small viewable part of my cliffage.

Anko: "Come and find me any time when you want to have the best orgasim of your life."

She winked at me and 'puffed' away.

Gai's POV

It was the most exotic show you have ever witnessed. I could feel the hot fluid of blood leak from my nose even after Anko puffed away. I felt bad though, Hide looked horrified by her attack.

Gai: 'I wonder if I looked like that when that villainous dust bunny violated my leg.'

I shivered at yesterday's memory. I quickly wiped the blood away as Hide recovered from her assult.

Hide: "GAI! Couldn't you have at LEAST yarn me!"

I threw my hands up in defences.

Gai: "B-but Hide-chan, I didn't know she would do something like 'THAT', I swear!"

Hide didn't calm down for a minute as her eyes nearly could have caught me of fire. I swear, if looks could kill, I would be tortured to death a thousand times, brought back to life, and then tortured to death a thousand more time.

Hide: "Alright, fine. I believe you. I'm gonna go now and get ready for my 'date' with Lee. I'll see you later."
Gai: "Wait,.."

She looked at me, daring me to say something to make her even angrier than what she is now.

Gai: "Have fun."

And with that, she nodded and ran off. As I watched her leave, I couldn't help but feel sad. I felt like everything that went wrong today, it was all my fault. The only reason I let my team fight her is because, I wanted to see what her fighting style was and two, I really wanted to kiss her.

Hide's POV

I was walking down an empty street when I seen Neji walking towards me.

Neji: "Hello, Hide-san."
Hide: "Hello Neji, what are you doing?"
Neji: "I'm going home."
Hide: "I see. Neji, you have a bug on your shoulder."
Neji: "Wha-!"

I quickly pulled him in to a kissed and pushed him away.

Neji: "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!"
Hide: "It's called a kiss sweetheart, you see when you a boy your age, it's very natural to experiment-"
Neji: "I KNOW WHAT A KISS IS! WHY 'DID' YOU KISS ME THOUGH!"
Hide: "Remember what I said this morning, if I lost to you kids, then I'll kiss every Jionin in this village."
Neji: "..."
Hide: "Neji, you need to relax, or atleast get blowjob."

Neji's face went from pale to lava red.

Hide: "I mean from someone your own age! Wow, your a pervert."
Neji: "ME! Your the one walking up and making out with random people!"
Hide: "Jealous?"

Neji was taken back, he's face was even brighter red.

Neji: "Excuse me! Im going home NOW!"

I watched as Neji pushed pass me was stomped away until he was out of sight. Poor Neji, he really DID need to get a blowjob. Oh well, he'll get over it. Walking down futher, I walked until I seen a small path that lead to the cementary. I wanted to pay my respects for the old man, since I didn't get to yesterday. Walking through, I looked at each head stone till I found the right one. I blowed my head and began saying my prayer, too focused to notice the presents behind me. I was done when I heard the soft voice spoke out.

...: "I miss him too."

I didn't have to turn to know who it was.

Hide: "Why are you here Kashi-kun?"
Kakashi: "Well, a little dolphine told me, that a little fox told him, someone else told them, that you lost a bet with Gai."

I faced my long time friend and I could see he was smiling under his mask.

Hide: "Alright, alright. Just kiss me damn it, I wanna get this over with."

Kakashi walked closer to me, wrapping on arm around my waist, pressing me up into his body, while using the other hand to pull down his mask. He was even more handsome then you remembered. He looked down, smiling at me. I could feel my cheek flush as the memories of our past began to flood my mind. He lend down closer, softly pressing his lips with mine. Before I knew it, I completely melted into the kiss. Our lips seperated, then connected, then seperated, then connected again. My fingers laced in his hair and his arms wrapped around my back, pulling me in even closer. Then suddenly, he stepped away, leaving us both panting. He was still smiling at me.

Kakashi: "I must be going as it were."
Hide: "Yeah, as always."

He frowned at my statement. He knew exactly what I meant. He pulled his masked back on and began to walk away a few steps before he turned back to face me.

Kakashi: "You know, if you ever need me for anything, I'll always be there for you."
Hide: "I know you will, Kashi-kun. I trust you."

He nodded, he knows full well how I anytime I need a friend, he was always my first choice and my only choice, and he knew that I knew this too. Soon enough, he disappeared, completely out of my sight. I walked home to change my clothes and to get a much need bubble bath. The only one was left on my list was Gai, which was great for me because I wanted him to be last anyway. Even though this is only the second day I returned home, I couldn't help but start to take a liken to the big goof ball. Somehow, when he is with me, I don't feel so,...alone. I got my relaxing bubble bath, took a little nap and got dress in my usual attire, but this time, I applied a little light blue eye shadow and some pink lip stick. The make-up made my eyes look that more deeper of a blue and it high light the fullness of my lips. Taking in one final look in the mirror, I was happy with how I was and I started walking out the door to meet with Lee. I couldn't help but think I bad I feel for him. Before this night is over, Lee's never gonna want to date a woman for another 10,000 years. Oh well.
