Gai's POV.

I was happily walking down the road with Hide be my side. Even when she has the look of hungry blood lust as she glares with disgust at the jolly Carlos, I've never seen a prettier woman. I know she's been a wonderful friend but now is the time to raise the bar. All I have to do is impress her with my manly charms and youthful spirit and she'll be my girlfriend in no time.

Gai: "Ha ha ha!"

Hide: "Gai, are you feeling ok?"

Gai: "Umm, yes. Ha ha. I just thought of a joke is all?"

Hide: "A joke? I like jokes, what is it?"

Carlos: "Me too! Me too! Come He-man, lets hear. What is this joke?"

Gai: 'Did he just call me He-man. I really don't want to ask.'

Hide: "Gai?"

I just noticed that everyone stopped walking and was looking at me.

Hide: "Gai-kun, please tell me the joke?"

I knew I was blushing from how sweetly she said my name.

Gai: "Well,..it's umm. How many ninjas does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Carlos: "How many?"

Gai: "Two. One to screw it in and the other to hold up the first one."

I watched as Hide and Carlos look blanking at me as I finished that stupid joke. Then out of nowhere Hide started to giggle and so was Carlos.

Hide: "That was cute."

Gai: "Really, I thought it was a little silly?"

Carlos: "It was He-man Gai. But once in a while, it's nice to hear a clean joke. Sex is only fun when you are having it. Isn't that right, Kitten."

Hide: "KILL YOU WITH FIRE!"

Gai: "CARLOS, HIDE! Not now. Carlos, drop and give me 500 push-ups."

Carlos: "WHAT!"

I gave him my 'athority' look.

Carlos: "Fine. I will 500 push ups then. But I want to see you do it too."

Gai: "HA HA! I'll take your challenge."

We both got down on the ground.

Gai&Carlos: "Ready, set, GO!"

I finished in a matter of minutes. Carlos was still around 78 and struggling. Once he reached 100, he dropped down on his face, panting harshly.

Carlos: "N-no more. C-cant.."

I couldn't help but chuckle as I picked up the fallen prince. I threw him over my shoulder as Hide and I was walking again.

Hide: "I wonder how long he'll be out."

Gai: "Maybe an hour or so. You should never do harsh exercises when your body isn't use to it."

Hide's POV

Hide: "You clever devil!"

I stood in front of Gai and kissed his cheek.

Hide: "I do believe you mischievous side is showing."

The rest of the trip wasn't too bad. Everytime Carlos woke up, Gai made him do more push ups. 400 push ups later and one exhausted prince later, we finally made it to the boat that was heading to Moon Island. Then, after I just accidently on purpose slipped Carlo a mickey or two,…or five, we made to Moon Island five days later with no problems,…well, except Gai's sea sickness. Gai, a sober Calos, and myself finally walked the rest of the way too the,…..

Hide: "Gai, where the hell are we going?"

Gai: "Let me see here."

Carlos: "WHOO HOO! We are here!"

I could have died! In horror, I looked up at the sign that said, 'Kiki Karaoke'.

Hide: "YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU DRAGGED ME OUT FOR A FIVE DAYS FOR A FUCKING SING-A-LONG!"

Carlos: "Not for 'just' a sing-a-long. It is THE sing-a-long! I am so excited! Wait for me ladies for Carlos has arrived!"

I wanted to beat him with a cactus! I saw him run in. I thought Gai was just as horrified as I was but nooooo. He ran in too!

Hide: "TRADOR!"

Signing in defeat, I walked in and found Gai at a booth. I slid in next to him. I saw Carlos on stage, talking to the band.

Carlos: "Good evening. Your dream is here for I am Carlos.

You think I'm sexy and you're right.

Come a little closer I won't bite.

I see the love that's in your eyes.

Between my legs you'll find a prize.

For I am what you're dreaming of,

Because I'm Carlos, man of love!

Around the world they call my name,

There's only one of me, what a shame.

We roll around in the grass.

You naughty girl, you grab my ass.

I'm what you're dreaming of,

I'm Carlos, man of love!

You look so nice you're so pretty.

Of course you won't mind if I touch your titty.

Spread your legs for I am here.

I'll make my wiener disappear.

I'm what you're dreaming of.

I'm Carlos, man of love!

Feel free too touch me right there.

Look at my crouch.

Look at my crouch.

I can feel the heat off your eyes touching my crouch.

I'm Carlos, man of love.

I'm what you're dreaming of.

I'm Carlos, man of love!"

After he was done, the women went wild.

Hide: 'How stupid are these bitches?'

Carlos: "And now, I challenge you, He-man Gai, to take the stage. Swoon these women if you dare."

Hide: "You can't be kidding me. Gai don-"

I looked over to my side to see that Gai was gone. Then, the spot lights turns towards the stage. Looking on stage, I see Gai! And he's dressed like a,…cowboy?

Yes, he looked like he just threw on a pair of jeans and he was wearing a white cowboy hat and an orange handkerchief around his neck.

Hide: "What in the name that's all western hotness?"

Gai: "Rollin rollin rollin

Yah! rawhide!"

My jaw dropped. Gai was GREAT! He had a deep, manly, sexy voice that was just perfect for this song. And even during the music, he actually pulled out a lasso and doing tricks with it. That's when the girls really went wild. They sworn the stage and right before could reach him, he disappeared and was sitting right next to me while still holding microphone.

Gai: "Ha ha ha. Sorry ladies, my true love is right here. Hide, will you be my girlfriend from here on out?

Hide: "Aww Gai, you're so sweet. I'd –"

…: "Gai-sensai!"

Hide: 'Cock blocker!'

We both looked over to see the kids, Lee, Tenten, and Neji. Lee ran over to hugged me as I stood up. Tenten ran up to but she just smiled at me. Neji, he walked up but he didn't look too happy, especially at Gai.

Neji: "What are you two doing here together?"

Hide: "Me and Gai has been selected to be tormented by the Lady bitchness."

Lee: "What?"

Gai: "Lady Hokage assigned us to guard Prince Carlos and to escort him back to the village during his vacation."

Tenten: "You mean that tacky gross guy on stage. Eww!"

Hide: "Eww is only the tip of that glossy ice-burg."

I seen Neji smirk.

Lee: "Gai-sensai, there is a hot spring only one mile from. If you and Hide-chan have any free time, we could all go together."

Neji: "Lee –"

Gai: "That's sounds great! Count me in. What about you, Hide? How about a dip?"

Hide: "Yeah, that sounds nice. I'm in."

Neji: "Wait!"

I looked at Neji. He was good at hiding it but I could still see it. He was blushing.

Hide: "What's wrong Neji? Don't you wanna come with us? If your embrassed, you don't have to come if you don't want to."

Neji: "….No, I'll come."

Hide: "Alright, we'll meet you there in an hour. How's that?"

Lee: "Yeah!"

Lee jumped and hugged me again as I hugged him back.

Hide: "Just let find Carlos first."

~hour later~

Gai and I just arrived at the hot springs while the kids were waiting for us, wait a minute.

Gai: "Where's Tenten?"

Neji: "She didn't want to join us tonight so she stayed at the inn."

Gai: "Oh well, her lost. But I do hope she's feeling all right. Who would miss out on this?"

Hide: "Lets go in. I'm dying to get these clothes off."

I walked ahead without waiting for the three blushing boys. I walked into the women's room and stripped. I wrapped a towel around my body and another towel around my hair. I walked down the hall and opened the door.

Hide: "Holy MIX!"

Lee: "Hide-chan! Is this not a fun spring? I had never been a mix spring before."

I felt my face drop. Now I know why Tenten didn't come. Smart bitch.

Gai: "Hide, come on in! The water's fine."

I saw a very naked Gai doing back-strokes in the deep in and the only thing shield his little Gai was a very loose towel.

Lee: "Yes Hide-chan, please join us."

I saw Lee swimming in the steamy water pass an emotionless Neji. Neji looked tensed. I couldn't help but wonder what's wrong.

Hide: 'Pour Neji. He's been like this for a while. Maybe I could talk to him.'

I stepped into the hot water. Letting myself being taken into an instant state of relaxation. I walked further out; the water immediately reached my waist. Neji was in such a deep thought; he didn't even notice that I was sitting right next to him.

Hide: "Neji."

Neji: "…."

I put my hand on his shoulder. Apparently that did it, I felt him jump slightly as he jerked his eyes at me.

Neji: "Miss Hide."

Hide: "Neji. Are you ok, Sweetheart?"

Neji: "I'm fine."

I watched as he looked away.

Hide: "Neji, don't lie to me."

Neji: "I,.."

He looked back at me, worried, embarrassed, and confused.

Neji: "I'm going for a swim."

He moved away and disappeared underneath the water. I watched as a long wave of brown hair swam pass me.

Gai: "Hide, wanna play some volleyball?"

Hide: "We can play volleyball in the hot spring?"

Gai: "Sure, why not?"

Lee: "This is so exciting! Wait, Gai-sensai, how are we going to choose teams?"

Gai: "Well,…I got it! Spin the bottle!"

Lee: "That is ingenious Gai-sensai!"

Hide: "Where the hell are we going to get a bottle."

Gai: "Right here."

Gai pulls out an empty bottle of sake out of the water.

Hide: "What the hell,…never mind. I don't want to know."

Gai: "Ok, I'll go first."

Gai spun the bottle so hard it didn't stop for about 7 minutes.

Hide: 'Couldn't he hold back even for this?'

Gai: "Neji!"

Neji: "What?"

Gai ran over and embraced Neji in a manly hug. The look of horror and trauma that was carved in Neji's face was absolutely PRICELESS! I choking, the pain of laughing too hard was killing me. So worth it!
