A couple weeks after inviting everyone we had to borrow some money from Gai and Asuma to afford the outfits since I had spent a lot on that dinner. Although Lillian seemed reluctant to go, I was curious why. She seemed so excited for the wedding from what I've seen yet with this she wasn't so sure. We were eating breakfast at a pancake house.

"I am going on a mission today, you should take the time and get you're dress." I said.

"Yeah… I guess I should."

"Where are you thinking of going?" I asked.

"I… don't know." She said playing with her food.

"Lillian what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Don't you want a dress?"

"I do." She said looking up at me in panic worried that I thought she didn't.

"I just…" she trailed off.

"You what?"

"I don't really have any girl friends to help me." She sand and I smiled relieved.

"That's why you've been avoiding the subject?" I asked and she nodded.

"If you want I could ask Asuma to take you." I offered and she lit up.

"Really?" she asked and I nodded.

"Ok, I'd love for Asuma to help. Maybe you could ask him to walk me down the aisle too?" she asked.

I would have asked her to do it, but I knew how shy she was so I nodded. Plus it made her happy.

"I'll bring him to the house before I leave today." I said and she couldn't stop smiling for the rest of breakfast. When we got home I got ready for the mission and about half an hour before I had to leave I went to get Asuma. He was in his usual spot getting some beef.

"Hey Kakashi." He said when I walked up.

"Hey Asuma, I need to ask you a favor." I said back.

"What's the favor?"

"Will you take Lillian wedding dress shopping?"

"Why doesn't one of her girl friends take her?"

"She said she doesn't have any, she sounded upset. I told her I would ask you."

"Hmm… Yeah sure I'll take her. When?"

"I figured I'd bring you to the house before I leave for my mission today."

"When are you leaving?"

"About twenty minutes." I said and Asuma laughed,

"Yeah, of course I'll take her."

"I have one more thing to ask."

"What is it?"

"Lillian wants you to walk her down the aisle."

"Why didn't she ask me?"

"You know how shy she is."

"Yeah I know, of course I will, I'm honored."

"Alright, let's go." We headed over to my house and Lillian was inside drawing in her sketchbook, when I opened the door she closed it quickly humble of her work. I smiled and Asuma walked in. She smiled,

"Thank you Asuma." She said happily.

"It's no problem. You want to leave now?" he asked and she nodded.

"And I hear I'll be walking you down the aisle." He said smiling and she nodded.

"Yeah." She said looking down.

I kissed her forehead through my mask and she left to go shopping. After I got my bag and left for my mission.
