Hide's POV

I walked to the training grounds. It was exactlly 6 when I got there. I saw that Lee was waiting for me and noticed that he wasn't in his normal jumpsuit, instead he was wearing a formal green kimono with light green silk leaf shapes sowed in, dark green pants and was completed with a red waist tie. His hair, instead of the normal bowl cut, it was combed back neatly, showing that he had a windows peek. I walked closer to him and the young man smiled brightly at me. He then pulled out more flowers for me, this time, it was white roses, the true flower of love.

Hide: 'Jeez, if Lee and Gai keeps giving me flowers, Im gonna end up living in a green house by next week.'
Lee: "Hello Ms. Hide-san, you look very beautiful. Here, these are for you, I hope that you like them."
Hide: "Of course I do, thank you Lee-kun. Your pretty easy on the eyes yourself, handsome."

I winked at him, making him blush in such a cute and child-like way. His smile grew to the point I thought his jaw was going to fall off. I took the flowers, did a few hand signs, then they poofed away. He tilted his head in confusion.

Hide: "I teleported the flowers to my ktichen, I did the same thing with other flowers. Right now, they should be in the vase next right in my living room."

Lee nodded his head, understanding.

Lee: "So, I was thinking, where is it that you would like to go?"
Hide: "Hmm,...anywhere is fine with me. I was hoping you had some ideas."
Lee: "I have got a couple thoughts. How about we go see a movie and then we can further enjoy ourselves at Ichiraku's."
Hide: "Actually, that sounds great. Lets do it!"

I was actually excited about spending time with Lee, he seems like such a great kid. By the way he was fighting me earlier, I can tell that he spends almost all of his time training, not doing hardly anything else. Hopefully, this will loosen him up a little. So we walked together in a comfortable silence until we arrived at the movie threater. We read through the list, trying to decide which one we wanted to see. In the end, we both choose a scary movie, Hostal 2: Unrated. While I was laughing at the people getting burtally murderd and eating hot butterd pop-corn with one hand, poor Lee was clinging on to me for dear live through-out almost the entire movie. His arms were wrapped around my waist, his face was hidding in between my shoulder and neck, and with my free hand, I kept rubbing his shaky back, trying to calm the frighten teenager. After the movie was over, Lee and I was walking to Ichiraku's. He was still shaky from the movie so I kept a protective arm around his shoulders.

Hide: "Lee, honey, you know that no one's gonna come and buy you, right?"
Lee: "Yes, of course."

I seen him looking back, trying to fine someone that looks suspicious, just incase. I rolled my eyes and smiled. I'm really having a hard time figuring out why he wasn't taken yet. He could be one dangerous sweet talker in the future, so ladies should beware of his cuteness now while they still stand a chance.

Hide: "Look Lee, if anyone tries to buy and kill you, I promise I'll buy you right back and kill the first guy that bought you. Ok?"
Lee: "You would do that for me?"
Hide: "Of course I would, so far, your my favorite person in this village."

Lee looked up at me as we was walking and smile. He finally stopped shaking and we continued to go to Ichiraku's. Once we got there, we sat at the booth and order. As we were waiting for our ramen, we started chatting.

Lee: "How is this date going so far, Ms. Hide-san."
Hide: "It's going great, but if you would please, I would rather if you would just call me Hide."
Lee: "Alright, Hide." He giggle.
Hide: "What's so funny, 'Lee'?"
Lee: "Oh, it is nothing, it is just,...I have never thought of being here with a woman like you before."
Hide: "A woman like me?"
Lee: "Yes, what I mean to say, from what people has told me before, I thought I could never spend time with a girl pretty like you."

He didn't look at me when said this. He was looking at his folded hands on the table and smiling saddly. I put my hand on the top of his head and gave his hair a good ruffle.

Hide: "Lee, rule number one on a date, never EVER doubt yourself in your abilites."
Lee: "What do you mean?"
Hide: "I mean that, don't listen to people who dont know you nor understand you. If they don't know you, then how would they know what you can do? If anything, I think your the one who should be giving the dating advice."
Lee: "Really? You think that I am doing a good job?"
Hide: "Totally, hell if I was your age again, I don't think you could keep me off of you."

Lee started to giggle again, trying to cover his mouth while doing so.

Lee: "Thank you Ms. Hide-sa-, I mean, Hide. I feel so much better."
Hide: "That's good, you should feel better. The fact is, your the best date I've had in over ten years."
Lee: "Now you are just being silly." He giggled more.
Hide: "I wish I was. The last guy I had a date with, I had to spent the entire time listening to him talk about how 'totally awsome' he was while he was checking himself out in the mirror as he was flirting with other women. Then, the guy before that, it was a blind date, I didn't know there was a bed underneith until he lifted his stomach to show my his new quilt. Then, before THAT guy, the guy I picked out, it turned out that he was steeling my bras everytime he came over to my apartment, and that was before he came out of his closest, then he started to steel my shoes to. Then the guy before THAT guy, another blind date, he was so old, his Social Sercurity Number was 3."

Lee was laughing so hard, his face was about to pop. He was laughing so hard, he was making me laugh too. The histarical tears kept pouring of his eyes until our food finally arrived, actually, it was a few minutes after that until he stopped.

Lee: "W-wow! I am glad to hear I have been your best date then."
Hide: "Yeah, I can tell." I chuckled.

We were both so hungry, we ended up eating a couple dozen bowls each. I didn't want the poor kid to go bank-rupted because of me, so I paid for meal after much arguing over who got the check. However, after I explained how it was alright for a woman to pitch in on her date sometimes, Lee finally gave in. We walking in the park when we decide to rest on the bench and enjoy the view of the lake infront of us. It was nice and peaceful. The moon reflected on the waters, making it glimmer and giving the water lillies a gorgious glow.

Lee: "Um, Hide?"
Hide: "Yes Lee?"
Lee: "What would it be like to be on a real date with you?"
Hide: "What do you mean Honey?"
Lee: "Well, let us say if I was your age and I find myself very much attracted to you and I wanted to ask you on a real date, but I was afraid that you would make fun of me and my attemps. What would a guy like me, have to do to get someone like you to say yes? Then if you would have said yes to me, what would it be like to be on a real date with you?"

Ok, something was up. The question was way too detailed, even for a confused, full-of-questions, teenaged boy.

Hide: "Well, for starters, if you, or someone like you, was trying to ask me out for a real date, the first thing they need to do is to ask me out."
Lee: "Huh?"

I had to chuckle, he was so innocent and confused, he was being painfully cute.

Hide: "Well, how else is a girl suppose to know if a guy is interested if he doesn't tell her."
Lee: "Yes, I see now what you mean."
Hide: "If it is someone like you, then he shouldn't worry about me making fun of him. I like guys that are straight forward with how they feel, so I would most likely say yes. Then as for an actual date, I would imagen it just like our date."
Lee: "Really, I could not imagen it."
Hide: "Why not?"
Lee: "Well, I could not see a shinobi as cool and full of wisedom as Gai-sensai cowarding in your arms during a movie."

NOW I was laughing. That would be freaken hillarious! The 'Big Strong Beast' needs me to protect him from a feature film.

Hide: "Wait a minute, Gai-sensai?"

Lee suddenly jump, waving his hands wildly.

Lee: "D-did I say Gai-sensai! I did not mean,..What I meant to say,...I mean,...ummm..."
Hide: "Lee,..."

I narrowed my eyes at him. He told in a deep breath before he spoke.

Lee: "Ok, please do not say that I have said this. Gai-sensai really likes you and he would like to go on a date with you."
Hide: "Really? Huh. I didn't think he was interested. Wait a sec, how do you know?"
Lee: "Well, it was while we were in the hospital. Gai-sensai was so worried that you would never talk to him again because of Tenten, he said that all hope was lost for any chance of him impressing you. So he could kiss his chance of 'wooing' you good-bye forever."
Hide: "Ohh, that explains the crying then."
Lee: "Huh?"
Hide: "Err,...nothing. Lee, you are by far the most fun I've ever had. You're very sweet and such a gentlement. You are infact the perfect date."
Lee: "Thank you very much Hide. I highly appreatiate that."
Hide: "You are very welcome. If you wouldn't mind, I think I need to find Gai, I have an finished promise I have to keep."

Lee hopped up and down with joy. We said our good nights and before I left, I thought to hell with it, Lee worked for it. I gave Lee a nice kiss on the forehead then headed off to hunt for the big bad Gai beast himself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gai's POV

I was in the training grounds for about two hours now. I was so mad right now, I was seething! Here, I thought today couldn't get any worse, I was proven completely wrong! About four hours ago, I was walking to find Lee, to give him some last minute advice when it happened. I saw 'him' with 'her', making out in the cemetery. Right now I was so mad, I couldn't even count how many push-ups I was doing. All I know was that I was at this for a couple of hours after I just spent few hours of running full speed around the village.

Gai: "CURSE YOU KA-KASHI! THAT DOUBLE CROSSING, WOMAN STEELING JERK!"

I was so discracted that I didnt feel the extra weight laying on my back. After being in the fourth gate stage for another half hour, I finally slowed down to a stop. I just kept himself up with my knuckles while trying to catch me breath.

...: "Hi Gai-kun. My, your comfortable."
Gai: "GAHHH!"
...: "Ooof!"

I fell flat on my face. The weight lifted and I looked up to see a concerned Hide-chan looking at me. She offered her hand but against my better judgment, I didn't accept it. I got up and dusted myself off in one switch movement.

Hide: "Gai-kun, are you ok?"
Gai: "Why do you care? Wouldn't you be more concerned for my eternal rival, Ka-kashi?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hide's POV

Ok, I didn't exactly know what the hell he was talking about, but whatever it was, it was started to really irratate me.

Hide: "First off, don't you DARE get smart with me when I was just trying to help you up! Second off, what on Earth are you talking about?"
Gai: "Don't you DARE play dumb with me! I saw you with that Two-Faced Jerk, Ka-kashi, embracing yourselves in a passionate, burning, sweaty tonge battle of love!"

I was taken back. He saw me with Kashi-kun! Oh God help me! I wish right now there was a hole I could crawl in and stay for a hundred years. It wasn't the subject he was talking about that make me feel uncomfortable, but it was how he said it. I focas my glaze on Gai's redden face. His eyes was peircing and hurt. I didn't know why but, I felt like I betrayed him somehow.

Hide: "It's over."

That was all I said. After a few moments, Gai's face went from confused, burning mad, then worried.

Gai: "What do you mean?"
Hide: "Whatever was between Kashi-kun and myself, it is over forever. I don't want him."

He frown at me, as if he didn't believe me.

Gai: "It didn't look so 'over forever' earlier today."
Hide: "You wanna know why we broke it off, the truth? Kashi-kun and I were both teenagers when we first started to date. I was 14 and he was 19. Everything was great for a week until he began to start ignoring me. It was the third week in when the Third-Hokage asked me if I would accept a classified S rank mission. I was the only one who could do that mission with a chance of success. He told me I would lose all ties with the village and everyone in it for several years if I would accept. I told the old man I would have to think about it. For the next week, I've tried so hard to get Kashi-kun to spend some time with me, I've tried so hard to find some glimmer of hope that I was important to him as he was to me. As you can tell, I didn't, ok? So what you saw today was only from the bet. That was it. He proved to me that I was at most his friend, so I took the mission. Now, if you don't have any other peeves with me, I'm leaving now."

I turned to leave, I didn't want him to see me as the tears were beginning to form in my eyes. Luckily, I was able to blink them away before they ran out. I was walking silently when two firm hands gentally stopped me by catching my shoulders.

Gai: "Hide-chan, Im sorry. I didn't know."

He moved around so he was now infront of me. I didn't look at him. I didn't want to, so I kept my eyes on his leg warmers. I felt his one hand move back on my shoulder and his other hand gentally grasp me under my chin and tilted my face, so I was looking back into his eyes. He face was soft, calm, and apologitic.

Gai: "Please, will you find it in your heart to forgive me?"
Hide: "Hmph. You idiot, there's nothing to forgive. Plus, if there was, I already forgave you."

I gave him a small smile and he gave me his blinding grin.

Hide: "So, since we're back on good term and everything. I came here to ask you something."

Gai stopped his grinning and gave me a worried look.

Gai: "Of course, what is it?"
Hide: "Well, I wanna know if you would like to hang out with me? No cleaning, no poisoning, and NO dust bunnies, just you, me and some much needed fun, so what do you say?"

He took a few steps back. He kept looking at me with one hand on his chin and another hand wrapped around his waist. Appearently, he didn't think I was serious.

Hide: "Listen, in the past ten years, the most fun I had was my 'date' with Lee and seeing as he's a little young, I was hoping to spend some time with a more manly-man. You know, someone than Lee always looks up to. A 'Gai',... I can trust, someone that had already bought me coffee and bagels. But if you're not interest or too busy, I'll just go and find someone else to,.."
Gai: "NO! I mean,... Luckily, I think I'm able to push a few things around." 'That's right Gai, play it cool. Then soon, Hide and I will blossom in 'our' love as we run off towards the sunset!'
Hide: "Arlight then, lets go."

He nodded his head and lead you to a restraunt. It wasn't the same place as the BBQ but this place was bigger, it looked fancier. He then led me inside. Once inside, a shorter chubby man wearing a texido was reading through a guest book, then looked up and eyed us both.

Man: "Hmph. Name, Misjour?"
Gai: "Gai, Maito Gai."
Man: "Wee, partay of two, Misjour?"
Gai: "Yes, Sir."
Man: "Right zees way, Misjour."

The short man lead us to a table towards the back. It was one of the most private areas in the restraunt. It was away from most of the people but close enough to be able to hear the band members play perfectly. Because it was a rounded table, booth,..thing,...Gai and I slid in beside each other. The man gave us our menus and ask what we wanted to drink.

Gai: "Uh yes my fine fellow, may we have a bottle of your most delicious wine?"
Man: "Why of course Misjour, it would my honor."

The short man scamperd off, leaving me and Gai alone. I was reading through the menu and my jaw nearly dropped to the floor.

Hide: 'Holy freakin Hell! One bowl of soup here cost more than my 'entire' night with Lee! Jeez, for prices like this, the food better be better than sex, or else Im complaining.'
Gai: "Is,..there something wrong?"
Hide: "Err,...no. It's just,...Gai-kun this place is just a bit exspensive,...don't you think?"
Gai: "Non-sence! I've been saving up for a while to come here with someone this special."
Hide: "Aww, Gai-kun, that's so sweet."

I felt cheeks burning and the inside of my chest was pounding. Now I was wondering why this great goof wasn't taken either. What the hell? Are women in this village blind,...well from looking directly into smile teeth, they probably would.

Gai: "So, tell me, what are you going to order? Me, myself, I could eat anything."
Hide: "Umm, I don't know yet."

The man came back and poured our glasses full red wine.

Man: "What may I get for you Misjour?"
Gai: "I would like have the Super Spicey Curry Udon, please."
Man: "Wee, and for you Maidame?"
Hide: "I'll have the same, please."
Man: "Wee, I shall return with your orders."
Gai: "Uh, Please leave the bottle too, will you."
Man: "Wee."

The man left us alone once more, me, Gai, and a bottle of alcohol. Gai took a sip from glass and then licked his licks.

Gai: "Wow, this is some great stuff! Try it, it's delicious."

I really wasn't one to 'drink' but, I didn't want Gai to think that I was a prude or anything. So I lifted my glass and took a sip.

Hide: "Oh wow, that IS good."
Gai: "Im glad you think so. I wanted to celebrate."
Hide: "Celebrate?"
Gai: "Yep, I'm celebrating the fact that I'm the luckiest man on this planet just by sharing this night with you."

I wanted to cry. Gai was being so sweet, I felt my heart swell up. Damn this mook and his smooth words!

Hide: "Aw Gai-kun, please stop, you're making me blush."

I couldn't stop myself from smiling as I was trying to away. Then I felt his hand softly cover mine, giving it a little squeeze. I looked back at him, questioning what he was doing. He just glazed deep in my eyes and smiled back.

Gai: "You're beautiful when you blush."

The heat intensed in my cheeks. I was going to say something when I heard a, 'thump', our food arrived, making both Gai and I jump a little.

Man: "Here are your orders, Misjour. Will there be anything else?"

Gai: "No, thank you, not at this time."
Man: "Wee Misjour."

When the short man left, I completely forgot what was going to say. The silence felt a little akward between us until he broke it.

Gai: "Well then, 'Bon Appetite'."
Hide: 'Are they trying to kill us! WHY IS IT GLOWING!'

I saw him rubbed his hands together real fast and tried the lava red creation in his bowl. I watched him first, secrectly letting him be the test rat. He dipped his spoon in it, bringing it to his nose at first, smelling it. The moment he exhaled, I thought I saw a flick of fire coming out of his nose. If this is as spicy as I think it is, he will definetly need some peptobizmal later. Then, Gai took his first bite. I thought his face was going to explode! His face puffed out, eyes shot wide open, and fire DID shoot out from is nose! He swallowed and I waited. I tought I would have to call poison control but, he snapped out of it.

Gai: "HMM! Now that's how I like my curry!"

He was wolfing it down. I looked down at my bowl at the demonic mix of soup, vegetables, rice, and meats. I want to past it up but Gai was so sweet, I couldn't fine it in my heart to hurt his feeling, even if it ment being stuck in the bathroom for a few days. Gai looked at me questionably. But before he could ask why I wasn't digging in, I quickly took my spoon and poked the curry.

Curry: *GRRR*
Hide: *_* 'WHAT THE FRECKY HELL!'
Gai: * :3 * "Go on and try it, it's delicious."

I took what could be my last breath and started to eat. The flavors were a mix of hot, smokey, sweet, a little bitter, and lots and LOTS of spicies. I ate more and more. Soon enough, both Gai and I was done with our meal. My whole body felt like it was on fire. I pushed my empty bowl away and grabbed the bottle of wine. Screw the glass! I chugged it down about half way before I felt a little better. I put the bottle back just in time to see Gai looking at me as if I was half-crazed. I looked away, I never thought I could feel so embrassed,...well,...exspect for that one time I was on a two week mission with Orochimaru and I got my first period. Yep, that was the most interesting verse of the sex talk I've ever heard, and most detailed. Though it was nice of him help me find out what 'special things' I need. That reminds me, I still owe him that 8 dollars.

Hide: "Sorry about that. That curry was a little hot for my taste."
Gai: "Not to worry, from what I've heard, this dish is also called 'Liquid Fire' so as you can imagen, I think you and I were the only ones in history able to eat more than one spoon full."
Hide: "Do you think they'll have our names in a World Record book?"
Gai: "That's a good question, I'll go ask.
Hide: "No, don't! I was only ki-ah, ah- achoo!"

Right before I squeezed, I pinched my nose. I didn't know that flames would shoot out from my ears and catch Gai's sleeve on fire.

Gai: "Woah! WOAH!"

Once we put it out, I wrapped myself around his now toasty arm.

Hide: "Oh Gai, I'm so sorry. I didn't think that would happen. Oh Hell, I didn't even know it was possible!"
Gai: "Hahahaha! Actually, I thought that was awsome myself. Now whenever I want to roast marshmellows, I'll be sure to ask if I can barrow your ears for a second."

I smacked him in the chest playfully as he was still laughing at me. After he calm down, we just sat there and listened to the band members play. They were playing a blues song and then after it was over, they began a different song altogether. I knew this song, it was 'Saved the best for Last', by Vanessa Williams.

Gai: "Would you like to dance?"
Hide: "Me? Dance? I loved to but I don't know how."
Gai: "Then I'll teach you right now."

Before I could object, he already had me in the middle of the dance floor next to a few other couples. He took my right hand and placed it on his shoulder were it should be. Then, he place his left hand on the lower part of my back and pulled me in closer as his took my left hand with his right, and intwind our fingers. Then, we was swaying, Gai leading me through step-by-step. We danced and swayed, then he surprised me by spinning me a few times. It was so much fun. I never thought he knew how to dance. As the song was still playing, he pulled me in closer so our bodies were touching. Our eyes never broke away from each other.

Gai: "Hide-chan, there is something that I've wanted to ask you, but I couldn't think of the best way to do so."
Hide: "Yes, what is it?"
Gai: "You see, I have a confession to make. I think you're the most amazing woman I've ever met. You see, yesterday, I made reservations for this place so I could take here after I ask you if you would go on a real date with me on this night. However, since learning of the truth behind your pervious relationship with my eternal rival, I'm not sure if I should ask you on a date anymore."
Hide: "W-what are you saying Gai-kun?"

He spun me out but didn't pull me back into his arms. Instead, he gave me his pose.

Gai: "I'm saying, I want the chance to prove to you how special you are to me, and I want to do it right. I don't want to ever hurt you, so I will test my ablities to make you happy and feel loved as a friend before I mess up as a boyfriend,...if you'd have me of course. So it is that I wanted to ask you is if you would give me the plessure of letting me be your friend and to know that no matter what you are to me, I vow to protect you with my life, to tressure you always, and to never let you fall."

I was so taken back by his speech, I saw my vision getting blurry from the tears that threaten to fall from my eyes. Never in my life has someone made me such a promise just for friendship, just to prove himself to me. I couldn't hold myself back. I threw myself in his arms just when the tears began running down my cheeks. My hands were tangled in his hair and his arms were wrapped around my waist. I hid my face in the dip of his neck as the tears escaped from my eyes and onto his green collar.

Hide: "You big Loon, of course you can be my friend, but there's just one condition."

Gai tried to look at me but couldn't as I rested my chin on his shoulder.

Hide: "My one condition is that you must know that because you are offically my friend, I vow to protect you too with my life, to tressure you always, and to never let you fall."

I felt his body tense under his clothes. He pulled me away so he could look into my eyes once more. Then a moment later, he embrassed me in an iron lock hug, his face was now in my neck.

Gai: "Thank you, Hide-chan! I promise, you won't regret this."
Hide: "I know. Actually, now's a good time to give you something I've been meaning to give you all day."

He pulled away just enough so I could see him crying, in a happy way.

Gai: "No, you didn't have t-"

I closed my eyes, pushed myself on my toes and pressed my lips against his. I heard him inhale sharply. Though I could seen how his eyes rolled back in his head, but I definitly felt him pull me much closer, deepening the kiss. I didn't know if it was from Gai or the curry but my whole body was now feeling electric and hot. Saddly enough, we parted lips, leaving each other hot and panting.

Gai: "I-I don't understand."
Hide: "I always keep my promises, exspecially for a dear friend."

I winked at him. He looked at me and smiled. He embrassed my again in a hug and we were dancing again, swaying. This time, my eyes wasn't opened. This is what I wanted. Being in Gai's strong arms, wrapped around me, as if I was the only thing that matterd in this world. If all I could have was to just stay like this forever, I would be the happiest woman on the planet. I wasn't even paying attention to the song anymore until Gai spun me out, pulled me back in, and dipped me. He then slowing lowered himself could cover my lips with his soft, full ones, right on the final notes. I quickly melted into the second kiss. My hands were back in his hair, tangled, pulling him closer as his arms wrapped around my back, pulling me up closer to him as well. I never noticed how my leg was raising up as as the intense bliss shot through my body. It was electric. The people clapped and quietly cheered as the song was finally over, snapping us out of it. He pulled me up so we were standing straight but we wasn't out of each others arms yet.

Hide: "Gai- I don't-"
Gai: "This was 'my' gift for my 'dear friend'."

I lost count on how many times I was blushing, this moment was just one more. It was late, Gai paid for the whole bill after much agruing over who-and-why should pay. He calming explained how it was alright for a man to treat his lovely female friend out to a nice, late night dinner, and also if I wouldn't let him pay, then he would be force to bring me coffee and bagels everything day for the next two years. He walked me home and then up to my door-way.

Hide: "I guess this is good night then."
Gai: "No, it wasn't good. This was the best night of my life!"

Gai then gave me a real good smooch on the cheek before he posed at me.

Gai: "Sweet dream, Hide-chan. I hope to see you tomorrow."
Hide: "Sweet dreams, you big Loon."

He chuckle as he jogged off, waving at me the entire time until he disappeared around the corner. I touch the area of where kissed my cheek. I could feel it warm and tingling. I walked inside and got ready for bed. I took notice of the rainbow flowers Lee gave me was in the kitchen in the vase I stole,...I mean,...borrowed. Then the white roses were in there own crystal vase on my living room table. I walked up to my bedroom and undress for bed. Laying under the covers, I looked over at the flowers Gai picked for me. They was in another crystal vase, centerd on my nightstand right next to my bed. I kepted looking at them and then the moon that was peeking through my window. The bright glow made me think of 'his' soft lips. I touched my lips this time and noticed that how much more my lips were tingling than my cheeks. I looked back up towards the moon and I couldn't help self from asking,

Hide: 'I wonder if Gai is thinking of me right now.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gai's POV

I couldn't believe it! I got my kiss from her after all and it wasn't just one little peck either, but two of the most mind exploding kisses I could have only imagened before today. I was so happy, I couldn't even lay still in bed. I kept tossing and turning, trying to find a good spot for my body to rest. However, as tired as my physical state was, I couldn't dream of going to sleep now. I grabbed my pillow and wrapped my arms and legs around it, thinking if I was snuggling to something, it may help me fall asleep faster. I squeezed my eyes closed, then suddenly I was imagening Hide, here snuggling with me instead of an over size pillow.

Gai: 'I wonder, how would she feel if she was in my bed right now, just laying with me.'

Then thoughts and images of Hide holding me, in my head appeared. Then it changed to Hide laying under me, panting moaning my name. Then it changed so it was were she is sitting on my lap, riding me, screaming as I pound myself deep in her, then making her beg for me flip her over on her hands and knees, just so I can pin her hips down in place as I slam My CO-

knock knock knock!

My eyes shot wide open as I fell of the bed. Scrambling to my feet, I jumped back in bed, and adjusting my blankets so nothing looked,...errrmm,...noticable.

Gai: "Err,...come in!"

I seen Lee enter and instantly jumped on my bed, making me bouce akwardly as I was trying to hold the blankets down on my indescency.

Gai: "Lee? What are you doing here at this time of night."
Lee: "I wanted to see how your time was with Hide."
Gai: "Hide?"
Lee: "Yes, she requested that I call her Hide. I wanted to know how was your night with her."
Gai: "Well,..let me explain it like this. Lee, it was as if the doors of Heaven opened up for me, allowing me to have all excess to the most worthy and beautiful tressures in all of history."
Lee: "Did you two kiss yet?"

NOW I fell off the bed again. Making sure I was still covered, I sat back down on the soft matteress.

Lee: "Erm, Gai-sensai, are you alright?"
Gai: "Y-yes Lee, I'm fine."

Lee nodded and leaned in closer, a little too close, even for me. So I backed up a little to give myself breathing room. I never seen him smile with such excitement before.

Lee: "Did you and Hide kiss? Please, tell me everything that had happened and do not spare the details of youthful events."

Now I could feel my face beat red. I knew I couldn't lie to my protoge Lee, well unless it was to avoid him learning and asking questions about 'very' adult things. So I told him the blunt truth.

Gai: "Lee, the only details you need to know is that a night that ends with a kiss, is a night truely worth carrishing."

Lee squilled, jumping up and down on the bed, making me bounce to too.

Gai: "L-lee! Stop,..don't jump,...on,...the bed!"
Lee: "I KNEW YOU TWO WOULD BE TOGETHER, IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME AND PACIENTS. AND EVERYTHING WORKED OU-"

BOOM - thunk

I saw Lee cracked his head off the ceiling and fall unconcious on the floor.

Gai: "Lee! I told you not to jumps on beds, that's one reason!"
