Prompt: Fairy Hunter
Pairing: TobiramaXSakura
Tobirama stared at the back of his niece's apprentice and slightly wondered why Tsunade had asked him to help with this mission. Sakura seemed more than comfortable with her team of gennin in front of her; composed of Nawaki, Dan's younger sister Kia, and Hanabi, a mix of the new and the old. He had heard each of her students sing her praises.
He sighed. They had been brought back to life a little over four months ago, along with several other Kage and exemplary Shinobi from other villages. So far the treaty Tsunade had crated with the other Kage had withheld the last four months, of course Hashirama, Hiruzen, Minato and Dan weren't letting her anywhere near the office or sake. Both of which were bad for not only her health but the young child's growing inside her.
Yet he still didn't understand why he had to tag along. It was a simple C rank mission, nothing that this team in front of him couldn't handle. Nothing that the Kunoichi in front of him couldn't handle.
"Wow!" Looking ahead at his nephew, Tobirama smiled. Nawaki had been born in a time of war, had died young in the war and had never seen much of the civilized world outside of Konoha. So it would only serve to reason that tea country would excite not only him but all of the young members of team nine.
"Our destination is near the far outskirts of town. That's where Jirocho's home is." Tobirama listened to the girl talk she was sure of herself, and one by one her team filed in line behind her. He took the position next to her.
With the exception of some ohhs and ahhs from the team behind her the trip to the house was quick and quiet. Sakura handed over the last of the money that Tsunade owed the man and continued on to an inn in town, where they ate, bathed in the hot springs and headed to bed.
A rustling in the middle of the night woke him up. Cracking one eye, he watched as Sakura, still dressed in her yutaka, slipped out the window; his curiosity got the better of him and he followed her. She headed some distance out of town stopping at a lake, where she let the yutaka slip from her frame, leaving her in her bindings and underwear, before wading into the water. He watched as she went under and came back up, sputtering and shaking her head as if trying to figure out what was going on. And as she searched her surroundings he realized that was exactly what she was doing. She had been sleep walking.
Her eyes became locked on the tree he was hiding behind, he had been spotted, not that he had been trying to hide. "Can I help you Nidaime –sama." Her voice was cold.
Stepping from his spot he allowed his own yutaka to fall to the ground, leaving him in his shorts as he walked towards the water. He noted the blush on her cheeks as he waded in and then went under, before popping up just behind her and whispered in her ear "Just felt like going for a midnight swim too."
He had to give her credit, not only had she pushed down the blush, she was glaring at him! Vanishing under the water he watched as ripples were made as she swam to the other side of the lake, where a tree's branches hung over the water. She looked like water fairy, with the long pink hair dripping wet creating more ripples that seemed to stem from her. And is only thought in that moment, where he felt more like him than he had since he had come back was; maybe I'll become a fairy hunter. After all water was his element.
AN: Well this was a bit different and totally impossible but I like the idea of a total cheesy ending and this is what branched from that. Once again please check out my new story "A Whisper in the Wind." It's a Minato and Sakura story, leave a review and let me know what you think! Also speak up about who you'd like to see next; a lot of people have said Kankuro, but I have a great idea for Sakumo as well., so speak up!
