Iruka stared at the man standing in front of him. "What?"



"You told him." Gai grinned, because he always grinned, so it took a moment for Iruka to realize the man was bothered by the fact. The fact he wasn't yelling it at the top of his lungs should have been a dead give away.



"Yes." The chunin shrugged and ignored the way the other man's smile dropped and his brow furrowed in thought.



"You shouldn't have." The green-clad jounin shook his head and Iruka sighed. Gai wasn't just bothered by the fact that he'd told Kakashi, he was angry.



"So? I told him, /and/?" He let his irritation be heard.



"My rival is very competitive." Gai said it as though that explained everything.



"Gai..." Iruka rubbed his scar and tried to think of a way to explain that his friend was delusional and it was /him/ that was competitive. Giving up he sighed. "What's your point Gai?"



"I fear for your virtue Iruka-sensei," the jounin said seriously.



Iruka nearly burst out laughing at the statement. "I assure you my 'virtue' is perfectly safe." Safe, after all, was relative. He decided to leave out the fact that his 'virtue' hadn't been up for grabs for several years now.



"I think you underestimate my rival, and I must tell you..." The man looked even more serious than he had a moment before. "he won't give up."



"First of all Gai..." the laid a hand on the other man's shoulder, "...my 'virtue' is not a competition." Iruka reminded himself that 'everything' was a competition in Gai's mind. "Second, I assure you, you're wrong. Kakashi-sensei does not see it as such."



He doubted it would disuade the man, once Gai got something in his head it never left. The chunin suspected it got lost and echoed around rather loudly. And, he suspected, that was why the man felt the need to shout; he was trying to be heard over the voices in his head.



"But..." Gai started again.



"Drop it!" Iruka shouted, hoping using 'the sensei voice' would shut the man up.



"He won't give up." The jounin was grinning again, this time at somebody over Iruka's shoulder.



The brunette sighed and looked over his shoulder at the silver-haired man approaching them.
