I had been planning this for a while; of course I had to save up money. To be honest I couldn't wait to tell her. I planned this the day we sat under the Sakura Trees. This day I had gotten back form a longer mission with Asuma. This one took a month to complete and Lillian was probably waiting for me because when I was almost at the front door she ran outside and jumped hugging me.

"Your back!" she exclaimed. I dropped my bags and hugged her back.

"It's good to finally be back." I said and I heard Asuma behind me.

"Awwwwwwww. How adorable."

I chuckled and chose to ignore his comment, "C'mon. Let's go inside." I said and took her hand leading her inside. That night I took her to dinner. But it wasn't our usual dinner; I took her to a very expensive restaurant with help from Gai and Asuma. I surprised her by buying her a nice dress. It was white and strapless with silver designs along the edges. I wore a tux with a silver vest to match her. The restaurant was very nice with glass tables and chandeliers everywhere. We were seated at a table below a sunroof. She smiled at everything.

"Why is everything so fancy? What's the special occasion?" she asked.

"No occasion. Let's just enjoy this." I said and she chuckled. "Ok."

That dinner was going perfectly. I got a steak and she got a salad. We were at a round table but I moved my chair next to hers to be closer. I told her how beautiful she was and how much I missed her. She would blush when I complemented her. Although that night I guess I just had horrible timing with the restaurant; because that night a group of rouge ninja decided to rob the place. The people were definitely no amateurs because I didn't even notice them coming. Suddenly hundreds of kunai came out of nowhere and I flipped my table over us on instinct. I couldn't stop two kunai from hitting Lillian, one in the arm and the other was completely lodged in the stomach. One got me in the arm as well.

"Shit! Lillian!" I yelled embracing her. She gasped in pain and she gripped me around my neck digging into my skin. I don't think she had ever been stabbed before.

"Kakashi it hurts." She said shaking. She was bleeding profusely and I couldn't do anything. While she was distracted I pulled the one out of her stomach, she screamed and I held her hand.

"Lillian I need you to stay with me, focus on my voice." I said knowing a lot of people would start to loose consciousness after that. Her eyes were rolling to the back of her head and she was barely responding, or even making sense.

"Lillian!"

One of the robbers was running through killing survivors. I pulled the kunai out of my arm and when he came to us I attacked him at full force. I knew it would take about five minutes until the Anbu showed up judging from how loud it was so I had to survive until then. I didn't do anything too offensive; I pretty much dodged and attacked not wanting to hurt any people that survived. When the Anbu showed up a medical squad showed up as well. I ran back to where Lillian was and what I saw made me gasp. The kunai were on the floor… and Lillian was… healing herself. Once she was fully healed I ignored my injuries and hugged her happily.

"Kakashi you're hurt!" she said and she healed me as well.

"Lillian, you just healed yourself." I said smiling at her and she blushed looking at her hand.

"I… I did." She looked amazed and then she smiled.

"I did." She whispered to herself.

Then her eyes widened. "I have to heal the people in the room!" she exclaimed and got up running to help the medical squad. It took about an hour but Lillian had successfully healed everyone that was in the restaurant. On our way back home I sighed and she looked at me questioningly.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Tonight didn't go as I had planned."

"What do you mean? Why don't we do it again sometime? Maybe it'll go better the next time." She suggested.

I scratched the back of my head and considered my options. If I waited it would be a while until I could save up the money again… I didn't want to wait any longer. I stopped and turned her around.

"Lillian I can't wait until next time… I was going to do this over dinner." I said and got on one knee. When she realized what I was doing her eyes widened.

"Lillian, Will you marry me?"
