Gai awoke from a nightmare in which he was being attacked
by two enormous squished raisins.
“Huh…?”
Standing
over him was the Fifth Hokage, clothed now, and
looking as youthful and beautiful as ever.
“Feeling better, Gai?”
He jumped
and pointed at her. “You, you… who are
you?!”
“You’re a
bit incoherent, Gai-san. Take a moment to collect yourself.”
Gai stood up and took a moment to think through what had
happened. He had come home and found
that someone had broken in, he had caught the Hokage
in his bedroom and she had tried to seduce him.
Then, he tried to dispel the illusion, because she couldn’t possibly be
real, but she turned into… shiver.
She
smiled at him, concealing her great irritation.
“You really shouldn’t use high-level anti-genjutsu
against me, you know? It’s just bad for
both of us.” She was getting sober now,
and beginning to question the wisdom of this bet. It was too late now, though. She would just have to be smarter about it,
and use her feminine wiles and wisdom.
“You won’t do that again, will you?”
“No, Godaime-sama.”
She patted
him. “That’s good.”
Gai looked a bit uncomfortable. “Godaime-sama…
why are you acting this way? What
has gotten into you? Even in the very
warmest springtime of one’s youth, such actions are not—”
“Oh,
please. Gai,
you are too prudish.”
“…oh?”
“Look… I’m
sorry I tried to be so direct with you.
I thought someone as… manly, and strong, as you would surely be excited
at the idea. I didn’t know you as well
as I thought.”
A bit of flattery seemed to have
worked somewhat. Gai
calmed down. “It’s alright, Hokage-sama. You
have been alone and an unhappy compulsive gambler for many years. It is understandable. I won’t tell anyone about your
not-so-youthful indiscretion.”
“Heh…
thank you, Gai-san.
But, me, alone?
No. I had Shizune. That’s not what this is about.”
Gai
made a fist. “Shizune… of course!
Godaime-sama… I am sorry. You had been cut off and separate from your
home in the Leaf Village for so long, and now when you return, we are so busy
rebuilding and have so much work for you to do as Hokage
that you are even more alone now. Your
sole companion has been sent away on mission after mission, leaving you in that
empty office until you went mad and tried to put the moves on the Proud Green
Beast. That must be what it is! Forgive us for neglecting your human needs
so. I promise that henceforth, we here
in Konoha will not only be
your army and your people, but your companions as well.” He flashed his ‘nice guy’ pose.
An awkward silence followed. What the heck is that pose?
Kurenai spoke: “This
is ridiculous. We’ve made enough of a
mess already, it’s time to give up!”
“Not a
chance in hell! I’ll win this bet yet! I know the way to approach him now.”
“Gai-san, I am so deeply moved by your sentiment. I know I can count on you!”
“Of course you
can! You know, Godaime-sama, the jounins
generally go drinking on Friday nights, like tonight. I wasn’t there this time, but if you’re
looking for non-professional companionship perhaps you should join us.”
“Ah, good
idea... that would be nice. I have to
say, I don’t think it’s exactly what I’m looking for, though… Gai-san, I think you have a few things to learn about
women.”
“Things to
learn…” he seemed put out again. “Well,
alright then, I can accept that! For the
sake of improving myself… if that is the case, then explain to me, Godaime-sama. Tell
me what it is I need to know, to better serve you and all the women of Konoha!”
“You know, that’s very honest of
you. I respect you for that a lot… Gai-san, you’re a very noble and chivalrous man and you’ve
taught your student to be the same way.
But you’re making one mistake.”
“What kind of mistake? Tell me, so that I can correct this flaw in
my otherwise perfect Nice-Guy attitude!”
She touched his cheek gently. “You try so hard, but hard work has to be
well guided. You put the female sex on
too high a pedestal, Gai.”
“A pedestal?”
“Yes. Listen to you, you’re not
even admitting the possibility that what I’m doing is for real; that I could
have that feeling. What I mean is that
sometimes, any person needs…” she whispered in his ear. “More than friendship.”
“Yes, of course… love is the most
beautiful thing in all of life! Except perhaps for youth… especially youth in spandex.”
“No, Gai! That’s not what I mean. Sometimes, any human being just needs to have
a little fun, do you understand? You act
like that’s something wrong, and avoid the possibility that that’s what I’m
feeling, but it’s not wrong and it is what I’m feeling. In fact, the Nice Guy thing to do would be to
help, right?” Technically, this was not
a lie; she’d been quite some time without a mate. But, would it work?
Gai remained quiet,
wondering what in the world to say to that.
Tsunade waited patiently, knowing this was
most likely the moment of truth in whether or not he would be open to an
attempt at seduction.
Gai
looked in Tsunade’s eyes seriously. He placed his hand on her shoulder. “Tsuande-sama… I
understand this. I have a certain person
who I sometimes feel that way about, but cannot possibly be with because of our
current relationship… and a few other reasons.
I understand the feeling you speak of, and I apologize for presuming
that a woman could not suffer from it and acting as if you were chaste. But… I can’t be with
you. Please understand! I am very sorry.”
No! “Gai,
why not? We are both single,
consenting adults.”
“But, Tsunade-sama…”
he hung his head. “I must admit that—”
Tsunade
make a quick hand seal behind her back and her sense link to Kurenai, Asuma, and Kakashi broke, leaving them unable to hear the end of the
sentence.
Asuma was
disheartened. “It looks like you guys
were right… damn. And I was going to
take my team for a barbeque if we won.”
Kurenai
was just angry. “She cut the link just
as he was about to admit it! Now she’ll
probably try to say he said something else and try to call it ambiguous, all
bets off. She’s a compulsive gambler,
right?”
Kakashi,
however, could only think, I really hope Gai’s
‘certain person’ is not me.
