Meet My Eternal RivalAU: Iwa Gai Au

Words: 2608

Rating: General

Characters: Hatake Kakashi/Maito Gai

Warnings: None

Summery: Kakashi always knew that there would come a day where his new Genin team would end up meeting Gai. He was just hoping for a little extra time, and some support from his favourite summon.

Made with lots of help from @sakura-rpblog and @thegodsaregay

Peace and quiet. It wasn’t something Kakashi was used to having anymore. Ever since Lord Third had given him his latest genin team, his days had been filled with squabbling, endless questions, and more headaches than he had ever had in his life.

When Gai had told him that becoming a Jonin-Sensei would make him feel more complete, he had clearly forgotten to warn Kakashi about the unruly nature of pre-teens. Something he’d be more willing to scold the man for if this wasn’t one of the few chances they had to spend together.

The last thing he wanted to do was ruin their moment complaining about his genin team. All he wanted to do was cuddle up close to Gai and fall asleep. Forget about all of the responsibilities he had to deal with for just a little while.

Of course, it was never that easy. Maybe if he was back home in Konoha, relaxing in the arms of another Leaf shinobi, it would be different. But this was Gai.

The great green beast of Iwagakure.

Responsibilities and loyalties never left his mind when he was here in Gai’s arms. Stealing away a few hours where they weren’t enemies. Those rare, precious moments where the two of them could simply enjoy each other’s company and relax.

“So,” Gai rested his chin on top of his head and chuckled when Kakashi looked up at him. “You haven’t told me anything about them yet.”

Ruined. All of his plans for a nice relaxing day, completely ruined.

Keeping a calm façade, he stretched his arms over his head and groaned. “They’re the worst,” he whispered. “I mean, they’re amazing. I adore the brats, but they’re the absolute worst. One can’t stop pulling pranks and doing anything he can think of to try and get attention, the other doesn’t want anything to do with anyone but is at least smart enough to try and work as a team, and the third…”

Actually, there weren’t many complaints he had about Sakura. Her crush on Sasuke was a little annoying at times and certainly distracted her from her training, but otherwise, she was a good student. Attentive and driven, and always trying to put a stop to the fights between Naruto and Sasuke.

“You should have warned me,” he huffed, collapsing back into Gai’s lap and resting his head against his stomach. “Sometimes I think you just assume everyone’s as good with people as you are. You just...forget that I’m anti-social.”

His jab is met with a laugh. Loud and beautiful, just as it always was. How he wished he didn’t have to leave Gai’s side again. That he could just lay here and listen to that laugh for the rest of time. No other worries on his mind.

“I’m sure as difficult as you make them out to be, you’re doing wonderfully as a Sensei,” the feeling of Gai’s hand settling in his hair sent shivers down his spine. “I’ve had to battle you myself. I know that you have a lot to teach them.”

Well, at least someone believed in him. He certainly didn’t most days.

“Speaking of. Did you leave someone to watch over them while we’re together? I hope you didn’t leave your team alone, Rival.”

“Pakkun and Akino are with them,” He assured the other man. “I took a page out of your book on that one and decided to trust my summons to watch over them. Maybe they’ll actually do something to stop them from finding us.”

Not that he really blamed Ningame for not trying to stop Gai’s students. They had a right to know about what their Sensei was up to when he disappeared on them. He was just thankful that Gai was able to convince all three of them to keep what they had found a secret, and that they didn’t try to attack Kakashi.

He’d feel bad if he had to beat up his boyfriend’s students.

“It’s too bad,” tilting his head back, he stared up at Gai. A little confused about why he would say something like that. “I wouldn’t mind meeting the kids who were making my love’s life so difficult that he feels the need to complain about it. Someone has to tell them that they’re doing a good job.”

“Meh, one day,” when things weren’t so difficult. When the villages could maybe get along and work together as Obito had always dreamed. Then he’d be able to introduce Gai to his team. “Until then, we should enjoy the time that we have together. Who knows when we’ll be able to sneak away again.”

It was a little disappointing that they didn’t have much to do. If he had known beforehand that Gai would be nearby, he would have packed some snacks for them to have a mock picnic. Or he might have brought a present from Konoha for Gai to enjoy. He always liked Dango when Kakashi brought it, and seeing him chomp into the sweet treat was always an experience for Kakashi.

Still, he appreciated that Akino had told him he smelled a familiar shinobi nearby. He hadn’t actually told Kakashi who it was, but that playful look on his face had told him all he needed to know.

Reaching up, he poked Gai’s nose playfully. “Thank you,” he whispered, chuckling when Gai responded with a confused look. “You didn’t have to meet me.”

A soft expression appeared on Gai’s face. His eyes staring down at Kakashi with a fondness that Kakashi wasn’t used to seeing from anyone else. “Our moments together are often fleeting and rare,” he reminded him while gently running his fingers through his long silver hair. “I wouldn’t give up a single one of those moments for anything. So long as I am able to meet you, I will,” Leaning down slightly, he pressed a kiss against Kakashi’s forehead, as if the action cemented his words into Kakashi’s mind. “No matter the risk.”

Oh, and how much risk there was. Tenzo had almost given Kakashi up the one time he found him with Gai during their Anbu days, which would have quickly led to Kakashi following a very similar path to his father. Disgrace falling on his name, and the hatred of those he had lived for years to protect weighing down on his soul.

He had been lucky enough that Tenzo liked him. That he had trusted Kakashi when he assured him he’d never betray Konoha, not even for Gai. No matter how much it hurt his heart, or how he longed to just give up and find his place by Gai’s side.

The same couldn’t be said of his students. If they believed for even a second that their Sensei could no longer be trusted, they’d be in the right to tell Tsunade-sama about his private meetings with Iwagakure’s great green beast.

“Naruto!” Sakura’s voice cut through the air, and Kakashi’s body stiffened against Gai. His stomach twisting into knots as everything he had been trying to avoid came heading straight for him. “Naruto! You can’t just go running off! If Sensei…”

“If Sensei cared, he would have stuck around at the camp with us,” that was on him. He really should have known that Naruto would take his absence as a chance to act out. It was what he was known for. “Besides, he might be in trouble.”

Gai snorted above him.

“Should we…” It wasn’t preferable, but if he could at least look like he wasn’t cuddling up to the enemy, it was a win. Right?

Crawling off of Gai’s lap, he sat up in his spot and sighed. Was it really so much to ask for just a little time with the other man? Just a few hours uninterrupted for them to enjoy each other’s company? Without Kakashi having to worry about the fall out of being found with an enemy shinobi.

“Naruto!” Sakura’s voice called out once more as a blur of orange burst through the bushes and came to a hard stop in front of Kakashi and Gai, a familiar grin plastered on his face.

“There you are, Sensei!” Throwing his arms behind his head, Naruto chuckled. “You’re getting easier to find. Are you even trying anymore?”

Holding back the urge to yell at Naruto about learning some patience and staying at the camp where he left them, Kakashi slowly gathered himself to his feet and dusted his pants off. “Congratulations, you found me,” he responded with a bland, bored tone. “Now that this little game is done, we should head back home.”

“Sensei, you don’t sound so...oh!” Naruto’s eyes widened when he finally spotted the man beside Gai. “Hello.”

“Hello.” Gai waved back at him, chuckling when the other two finally caught up and landed by Naruto’s side. As soon as they had come to a full stop, Sakura lifted up a hand and brought her fist down across the back of Naruto’s head hard.

“I told you not to go after Sensei like that,” She scolded him. “He was clearly in the middle of something important!”

Glancing back to Gai, Kakashi couldn’t help but smile when he saw him staring at his students. It wasn’t how he had wanted them to meet, but just seeing the amused look in Gai’s eyes was worth it, and he had no doubt Gai would have some things to say about his students the next time they saw each other.”

“Though,” Sakura spoke up once again, her eyes zeroing in on the headband around Gai’s waist. “Why are you speaking with an Iwagakure Shinobi, Sensei? I thought the only village we got along with was Suna?”

Just what he didn’t want to deal with.

Surely he could just tell his team that he was on a mission. Doing some information gathering, and the informant he was meeting happened to be a shinobi from Iwagakure.

They would believe that, right?

“I think we’re done here. You got what you needed and I have to get back to my current mission,” Glancing back over at Gai, he watched as he gathered himself to his feet and smiled his way. “Until next time?”

“Until next time,” Gai agreed, disappearing from in front of them and into the woods.

Watching Gai leave was the worst part. They had no idea when they’d be able to see each other again, and if they were lucky enough to find themselves close to each other once again they had no idea if they’d be able to get away from their teams to spend even just a few precious moments together.

He hadn’t even been able to say a proper goodbye. With a kiss and a promise that they’d keep in contact. That they’d find their way back to each other’s sides again.

If something happened to one of them on another mission, it would be an empty goodbye. Something that Kakashi would never be able to take back, and all because he had to act like a good soldier.

Loyal and true to Konoha, even when his heart called out for him to stay with Gai.

“Why were you hanging out with an enemy shinobi?” Sakura asked, looking up at Kakashi with bright green eyes. “Were you...What…”

“Isn’t that obvious?” His heart dropped when he heard Sasuke scuff. This was it. The moment that he had been dreading since he had summoned the hounds and gone out to meet Gai while his students were sleeping, and he still had no idea how he was going to try and explain it to them. “Sensei got a mission while we were out. He was probably just getting information from that weirdo.”

Blinking, Kakashi glanced back down towards Sasuke. It was out of the norm for him to cover up for anyone else, and there was no way he honestly believed that Kakashi was there to gather information.

Making his way towards his students, Kakashi reached out and buried his hand into the Uchiha’s hair and laughed. Soft and happy, even as his heart broke a little knowing that he wouldn’t be able to see Gai for a long time.

“It’s always nice to know that you’re so observant,” He smiled. “I’m sorry I had to leave you behind. It was the only opening that we had to meet. Now, where are Pakkun and Akino?”

Surely they hadn’t left the kids unattended. They never failed Kakashi before.

“Oh, they’re back at Camp,” Sakura offered, smiling when she saw Kakashi frown. “Pakkun said it was your problem for running off and leaving them in charge of us. Muttered something about being able to catch us easily if he wanted to as we left.”

Of course. Pakkun always chose the worst times to try and teach him a lesson.

“I guess someone’s not getting the treats I promised him,” he grumbled. “Now let’s get going. We still have two days of running before we’re home.”

Dropping his hand from Sasuke’s hair, he turned away from his students and started to walk back towards the small camp that they had set up. Maybe during his next solo mission, he’d be able to sneak away for a bit.

Get a little more time with Gai. Just a few hours. Maybe even a day if he was lucky.

It wasn’t asking too much. Just one uninterrupted visit. No students or teammates to show up unannounced.

Arriving back at the camp, Kakashi waved a hand when Pakkun and Akino turned to look at him. “Yo. Hope You didn’t miss us while we were gone.”

“Akino might have gotten into your pack,” Pakkun commented, resting his head on his paws as Kakashi walked past him. “You left the dog treats, so he decided to help himself.

“Of course he did,” stopping beside the hound in question, Kakashi sighed when he was greeted with the biggest set of puppy dog eyes he had ever seen Akino pull off. “How is it that you can look so innocent when I’ve seen you tear enemies apart with your teeth?”

“Ewww,” Naruto complained, running past him towards his pack. The only one that wasn’t already put together and ready to go. Both Sakura and Sasuke simply had to pick their packs up off of the ground and they were ready to go, but Naruto’s sleeping bag was still laid out on the ground waiting to be rolled up and put away. “Gross, Sensei.”

“We’re shinobi,” Sasuke scolded him. “That’s part of our job. Killing the enemy. Just like the fight we had against Haku and Zabuza.”

“I know that!”

Tunning out the argument, Kakashi turned back towards Pakkun. “So, were they already before they ran off to find me?”

“They were their usual selves,” the pug huffed. “That’s not the most important question though,” raising an eyebrow, Kakashi waited for Pakkun to fill him in on what the ‘important’ question was. “How was your date with Gai?”

The sound of bags dropping back to the ground echoed in his ear, as well as Naruto screaming ‘Kakashi-Sensei’ at the top of his lungs while sounding like he had just been stabbed in the back.

There was no going back. He was going to have to explain everything to the three of them now.

“No treats for a month,” he growled at his favourite summon.

For a moment, Pakkun looked like he was about to argue. However, with one look towards the three kids standing behind Kakashi trying to figure out how they were supposed to respond to this new information, he gave Kakashi a smug look. “Worth it.”

Different Ways - Kakashi Hatake ( Part 1)

Hi, is me again. I hope that alllll you enjoy!

~Gif isn't mine~

I was not a ninja, had given up on this idea after my brother died because of the profession, protecting the village, killed himself before the enemies found him to hide our clan's secrets, I had even graduated from the academy but the trauma it was too big to go on with it. Being a teacher at the gym was something that really wasn't in my plans, don't get me wrong, I really loved teaching the language to those kids but my dream was to travel the world and write stories. I have never been to the Shinobi world and have always hated everything related to him, had seen several deaths of my former students and this is not what a teacher wants. I always hated this world until Kakashi came into my life.

At first I didn't really understand why he was interested in me because, you see, I wasn't in that world to understand his position. But even so, he always came to the mini library I had made to encourage the children to read. I always wondered what he wanted since he always read the same book. When he called me out to be totally embarrassed, I simply lost my speech but agreed, as we were going to discuss some books. After a few meetings, far off I must add because of his available time, I found myself in a paradox, hated the Shinobi world and was in love with a ninja.

I never had the courage to tell Kakashi how I felt, and the man never opened, it was killing me. Kakashi had gone on a Naruto mission and all the new members of the sheet, which made me really worried, I worried about him.

Leaving the gym with Iruka, the man told me how Konohamaru defended Naruto to his friends and I smiled. Naruto always tried to escape from me in class but I was never afraid of the fox, and just like Iruka, I tried to encourage him to the fullest, despite the vocabulary that made me want to hit him many times. He was a good boy.

“Are you going to the library?” He asked, nodding in her direction.

"I don't know yet," I said with a shrug.

"Are you worried about him?" Iruka asked and I got scared. "Seriously, you live walking together in the village, full of laughs and smiles. All you have to do is hold hands to be the perfect couple." It kept making me blush. "It's my job as a best friend to realize these things"

"I am, I didn't want to go back to this world" I answered and he understood. Iruka knew my story, how difficult it was for me to get into jutsu, chakra and so on. I hated talking about it but it was necessary for the sake of children.

"I think I'll walk a little," I decided and he nodded, giving me goodbye. I walked to the great Bridges of Konoha, leaning there to think for a moment. At that moment I saw a child by the river, I had never seen her, and considering that I saw all the children in Konoha, that said a lot.

I walked slowly to her, not to scare. She looked at me with frightened eyes and I realized that now her shirt was bloody. I hurried and sat down, the bridges were near one of the village entrances, and near the forest as well.

'Hey, what happened to you?' I asked worriedly wanting to solve her problem. She could barely speak, just pointed at the forest in time for me to react to a fireball coming towards us.

"Fumetsu no tate" I shouted and my shield inmortal appeared, one of my Tsydoi clan's inheritances. I felt the enemy approaching and moved away from the child, I did not want her to hurt herself further. I began to walk by the river, assessing the enemy. He had done several missions to the village before giving up. I grabbed my ribbon and focused my chakra on it, thinking of using my wind whip jutsu. I whipped him forward and sent him into the middle of me, saw the cuts he was making and got even angrier when he tried to retaliate by sending me a triple wind whip, he tried to escape where he came from but I didn't let him pull him back , I couldn't walk away and leave that defenseless child there.

“Who the hell are you?” He asked angrily

"It doesn't matter to you," I said with the same intensity, punching him in the face.

"Kami no muchi No Jutsu" I unleashed my blow that compares to the pain of a thousand cuts. He doesn't seem to attack, which made me have to counterattack even more.

After countering two blows, my enemy was attacked from behind falling forward. Behind him I saw Kakashi waving at me, followed by a troop of teenagers. I smiled at him and then turned to the child who was looking at me still scared.

“Are you better?” I asked and she still didn't answer me. "Let's get you to the hospital," I said and she denied it. I bent down and she clung to me.

"I'm scared" She said and I understood.

"If I go with you? I promise you'll be safe here," I said and she agreed holding my hand tightly already. She shouldn't even be 4 years old, I picked her up and she snuggled into me. I saw everyone looking at me and looked bland.

"We're sorry about that," Kakashi started and I didn't understood. "Rescuing her was our mission but we had some problems down the road"

"It's ok, I'll take her to the hospital Kashi, she's in shock but from what I evaluated, it's ok." I clarified for them that they smiled with relief. All the teens knew me, I had taught everyone. "Maybe you should go to the village, I bet you're tired. Someone to go to the hospital? Enjoy the ride" I asked and everyone denied it. Kakashi reached me, giving me a kiss on the cheek, I understood that he would keep me company, since the girl who now rested in my arms was his mission.

“Whose daughter is she?” I asked curiously as usual.

"From the feudal lord of the land of fire," he replied and I looked at him with fear. The feudal lord's daughter had been kidnapped. The girl now sighed on my shoulder, we walked to the hospital, catching up on some chats

"You look tired," I commented, watching his gaze as he scratched his neck. "What kind of problems did you have?"

"One of the great ones" he answered, his voice heavy with weariness.

"I see, I hope everything gets right" I said with a half smile, the girl straightened up and I smiled.

"You'll be a great mom" he said, watching me and I was embarrassed.

"I don't see myself raising a family"

"But protect one as a wolf protects the pack"

I was silent, watching Kakashi analyze me all the time.

"I didn't know you knew Tsydoi No Justu" commented as one who wants nothing and I sighed

"I'm from the clan, you should know" I shrugged, wanting to get off the subject. My brother was a pride to Konoha, as well as to my parents. I didn't want to go this way because of the pain, it didn't matter to me if I was the remaining daughter who could do the master Justu.

"I didn't want to touch on a sensitive subject, I'm sorry," said Kakashi and I just smiled. "You are just too good to be played in the gym, study are very important but you have something special" continued and fell silent due to our arrival at the hospital.

The feudal lord was already present, his daughter was placed on a special stretcher, and taken to a special room. Kakashi and I return to the street after learning that the girl was at rest.

"You met my brother," I commented and he looked at me, nodding. I was just starting to gather the dots in my head, it was probably his mission to take me back to the Shinobi world. Probably Hokage have been doing this. We kept walking, me toward my house and he was following me.

My heart was hurting, I was in love with him and he was probably just on a mission. God this was terrible, I was so in love with the man, I could feel my heart break.

I started walking fast, wanting to disappear from the world. I arrived in front of the house and Kakashi stopped me when I was going inside without even talking to him.

“What happened?” He asked with the slight worried tone. I looked into your eyes and felt mine fill with tears.

"It was always a mission right? Obviously it was. You wouldn't get close to me at all, obviously. How stupid I was. You were never interested in me. Jeez and I was liking you, you're just like everyone else, no understands that I can't "I just spoke and he didn't answer me, before I could do anything, saw Kakashi's eyes close and held him before falling to the floor. I widened my eyes and caught him entering the house, put him on my couch, I had learned some medical jutsu, as first aid for children. I took care of him quickly and realized how exhausted the man was. I wanted to kill him. Slowly he opened his eyes, I saw the calm that they overflowed, i watched your mouth move behind the mask and well lowered he spoke

"I like you too. It was never a mission," He whispered and the second he is falling in sleep.
