What Are Words Anyway

Summary: Kakashi and Gai and a mission report. Obviously, spell-checker not kind to me on this one.
Note: This story could be set anywhere, I have no clue…God only knows why I gave Gai language trouble in this story…Heheheh. :)----A pre-thank you and dedication goes out to Tahle for, well, everything. :)----(I hope you're happy I finally posted this friggin' crap!!!!)
Disclaimer: (sigh) Sadly, I don't own Naruto, but Naruto just might believe me if I said I did.
Genre: Humor (Angst-ing over a mission report? Emo-writers wish...)


Sometimes Gai wondered if the scribbly words written in his mission reports were even words at all. On rare occasions, he consulted the musty yellow-scented pages of an old dictionary, on rarer occasions, he ventured farther out into an even older, outdated thesaurus, and on the rarest occasions, he was able to consult his eternal rival for advice.

"Hey Kya-kya-shi…what do you think of 'faviping'?"

"Hm," Kakashi wondered absentmindedly, not wholly caring.

"It's a verb," informed Gai matter-of-factly. He turned his mission report upside-down, suddenly not so sure. "Right?" he asked.

"Hm," Kakashi nodded absentmindedly, taking more interest in the small slug Gai was about to step on with his zori…

It was a big, hard, faviping step.

Gai faviped a slug.

"And what do you think of 'protchetedly'?" Gai spun around once again, probably leaving the area beneath him grassless if he'd ever stop to notice. With each turn, Gai was flipping the paper over to a new angle. "It's an adverb," Gai helped.

"Oh...hm…" Kakashi was looking now to his own zori, dangling over the edge of an old grey-stoned well he was sitting on. "Sounds…dangerous maybe," his rival faviped protchetedly.

Gai stopped, returning his hand written report to normal, "Oh no..." he pointed protchetedly. "I forgot to punctuate that," Gai turned around. "Do you have a pencil?"

Without looking to him, Kakashi shook his head.

"Hm…" Gai finally took a seat beside Kakashi. "I guess 'tagnant' probably doesn't need a comma beside it anyway."

"Probably," Kakashi repeated, his gaze faviping up to a tagnant Konoha forest before them.

Gai protchetedly started grinning. "Thank you, Kya-kya-shi!" He held the paper out before him, black squinted eyes now approving every word. Gai nodded and stood, faviping a tagnant flower protchetedly. "Well!" He looked to his rival. "I suppose I'll be off now!"

Slowly, returning from a quiet daze, Kakashi looked to his rival. "I hope you have a protchetedly faviping rest of the tagnant day, Gai."

Gai blinked…

"KYA-KYA-SHI!" he yelled, face turning blue…then stopping. "Damn, is it really that bad?!" Gai raised the paper, reading it over. He muttered more colorful metaphors. "Doesn't anyone carry a damn pencil...?" he muttered.

"I would, Gai, but I'm really tagnant."

"Oh now you shut the hell up," Gai glared.

"Favip me to."

Suddenly, Gai rolled up his green sleeves. "BRING IT ON!"

Kakashi couldn't help the wide smile under his mask. He looked up and said calmly, "Gai, it's just a mission report. They probably wouldn't notice if you spelled your own name wrong."

Gai thought about this. "Yeah…" he muttered protchetedly. "I guess you're right, Kya-kya-shi…" Gai scratched his neck, cocking his head at the report. "Hm," he stretched it out farther.

"What?" asked Kakashi.

Gai looked like he was about to cry…which was a very strange sight.

Kakashi shook his head. "You spelled your name wrong, didn't you?"

Gai nodded sadly.

"…I don't think they'll favip, do you?"

"Naw…" Gai solemnly agreed. "I don't think they'll favip at all…" The report fell to his side abruptly. "Cya later, Kya-kya-shi…"

Kakashi nodded and Gai vanished. Rising up, Kakashi protchetedly faviped off to have a very tagnant, good day.

Favip that.
