Chapter 21- Kakashi's Hospital Troubles

Kurenai and Kakashi were in the middle of a passionate lip lock when Naruto runs in screaming.

"Good news, Kakashi-sensei! Good news!" He eagerly looked from Kakashi to Kurenai. "Tsunade-sama said you two can get married!"

"Don't joke like that, Naruto." Kakashi sighed.

"I told you I'd talk to Tsunade-sama and make her change her mind! I finally bothered her enough and she changed her mind!"

Kakashi grinned. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah! Dead serious!" Naruto hugged his sensei so hard, you could hear ribs cracking.

"Ow, okay, Naruto, don't hug so hard, you're cracking my ribs." Kakashi said, attempting to make Naruto loosen his grip. He looked up at Kurenai, who looked completely flabbergasted. "Are you still alive, Kurenai-chan?"

Naruto immediately let go of Kakashi and bear hugged Kurenai. "Aren't you happy, Kurenai-chan!" He asked excitedly.

"Yes…I'm happy, Naruto…just surprised. Whatever you said to Tsunade…thank you." She hugged Naruto back.

That reminded Kakashi he had a ring in his pocket that was waiting to go on someone's finger. He could propose now, or he could wait a few months until someone's birthday.

"Isn't it wonderful, Kaka-kun!" Kurenai was asking him. She noticed he was staring at nothing. "Earth to Kakashi, are you still there?"

He realized she was talking to him and smiled. "Huh?"

"Isn't it wonderful? Whenever you're ready, you can propose and we can get married." She said.

Kakashi laughed forcefully, and scratched his head. "Yep…that's great."

"What's great?" Pakkun had just walked in with a full belly and his tail wagging.

"Hey, Pakkun! I can get married now." Kakashi told him.

"About time, I thought I was going to have to march down to the Hokage's Tower and bite her." Pakkun muttered.

"Kurenai-chan says the kids at the Academy want to meet you."

Pakkun sighed. "What am I, a celebrity? I think they're mistaking me for Shiloh."

"No they're not." Kurenai assured him.

"Okay, Miss Kurenai, but I want some Floral Green shampoo."

"Okay." She agreed.

Pakkun somehow noticed some dango on Kakashi's food tray. The good sweet dumplings that Kakashi didn't like because they were too "sweet".

He immediately jumped on Kakashi, and then on the food tray.

"Just one, Pakkun." Kurenai told him. "We don't want you getting fat."

Pakkun looked offended. "Fat?" He looked at his stomach. "I'm not fat, am I? Dog ninja's can't be fat…" He reluctantly backed away from the dango and made himself comfortable on Kakashi's stomach.

Naruto patted Pakkun on the head. "I wanna be the maid of honor at Kakashi-sensei's wedding."

Pakkun and Kurenai sweatdropped.

"Maid of honor…? Don't you mean, best man?" Kurenai corrected him.

"Really? What's the difference?" Naruto asked.

"The difference, Naruto?" Kurenai shook her head. Naruto was smart in some areas, and completely oblivious in others. "I'll tell you later…"

The Next Day….

Today was the day that Pakkun would be going to the Academy and seeing the students. It's not that he didn't want to, it just wasn't his thing. He was a "tracking expert", not a show and tell animal.

He walked into the class with a bone in his mouth. He was welcomed by a loud, "Hi, Pakkun-san!" The little pub nearly jumped. He wasn't expecting to receive such a warm and loud welcome.

"Pakkun-san? I like the sound of that." He muttered as he jumped on the teacher's desk and set his bone down. He cleared his throat. "Ahem, I, one of the great ninja dogs, am Pakkun. I am Kakashi Hatake's best friend and I like eating. And biting."

"Whooooaa."

"Can you do any tricks?" Someone asked.

"Yes, I can talk, that's a trick, isn't it?"

"But can you do anything else?"

"I can, but I don't feel like doing anything right now. I'm hungry, tired, sleepy…"

"Can we pet you, Pakkun-san?"

"No, but you can feed me. Sushi and eggplants in a bowl of Tempura would be nice."

"Are you married, Mr. Pakkun?"

"I'm a dog, no I'm not married. I'm sadly single and incredibly hungry."

"Are there any more dog nin?"

"Yes, but none are as cute and cuddly as me."

The Hokage's Office…

Tsunade sighed as she flipped through the pages of Konoha's Playgirl magazine.

"Tsunade-sama! We all love Kakashi to death, but we don't have to read porn like he does!" Shizune said.

Tsunade flipped another page of the magazine. "I know, but…"

Naruto came running into the room. "Hey old lady Tsunade! Guess what!"

"What, Naruto?"

"Guess!"

Tsunade sighed. "You somehow managed to get a girlfriend?"

"I've already got a girlfriend, Tsunade-sama, but I'm not talking about that! Keep guessing!"

"I give up, Naruto."

"Okay, you won't believe it!" Naruto exclaimed, nearly making Tsunade's eardrums explode. "Jiraiya is coming to me and Hinata's wedding!"

Tsunade sweatdropped. "I thought you said I wasn't going to believe it….Anyway, that's great, Naruto, good luck with that…" Just for the Hell, she decided to ask, "When are you getting married?"

"Whenever Kakashi-sensei and Kurenai-chan get married."

"And when will that be?"

Naruto shrugged. "I don't know and neither does Kakashi-sensei. I don't think he's proposed yet."

"Aww, that's sweet. You're getting married on the same day as Kakashi-san." Shizune cooed.

"Hey, Shizune, you wanna come to my wedding with old granny and Tonton!" Naruto asked excitedly.

"Sure."

Tsunade was happy. Naruto was growing up. Next thing you know, he'll be asking her how to mix baby formula.

Back At the Academy…

"Mr. Pakkun! Mr. Pakkun! How did you become Kakashi-san's best friend in the whole wide world?" A kid asked.

"Well, it's a long story…"

"It's okay; we've got 3 more hours of school left."

Pakkun sweatdropped. "It all started…"

He explained it all to the kids and took a whole hour and a half.

The Hospital…

Kakashi woke up and sighed. It had been two days since he had first been admitted to the hospital. Every four hours, the nursed walked in, made "goo goo" eyes at him, and then gave him medication. Grape flavored medication.

A nurse was in his room now, making him take his pill.

"Hey, nurse, when do you think I'll be able to get out of here?" He asked, hoping she'd say soon.

"It depends. How are you feeling, Mr. Kakashi?"

"Uh…I don't know, you keep giving me painkillers every four hours." He said, with a smile. "That gash beside my crotch doesn't hurt much. Am I permitted to walk yet?"

"No, you have one more day before--"

Kakashi hopped off the bed and walked around.

The nurse watched.

"Hmm?" Kakashi looked down and notice all he had on were his boxers with Pakkun's face all over it. He blushed sheepishly. "Hehehe, sorry, nurse-chan."

The nurse just stood there with a nosebleed.

"Com on, nurse, breathe." He said as he grabbed hold of her shoulders. "Oh no…"

The nurse was in a dream-like state as she muttered, "Kakashi-san…touched me…Kakashi-san's in his boxers…."

Kakashi sighed. "Look, nurse, I'm going to have to knock you out and dump you in the laundry, okay?" He grinned at her. "Please understand."

The nurse's nosebleed escalated when he grinned. "So…white…"

Kakashi stared at her with his sharingan until she passed out. He hauled her over his shoulder and found the nearest laundry cart. "Let's not make a habit of this." He said as he lugged her into the cart.

Luckily, no one was around except some male guards, and they completely understood. Sometimes women that saw too much needed to be… dealt with.

Kakashi snuck his way back into his room without being noticed by nurses. He didn't limp. Which meant he was healing properly.

He had accidentally dropped his pills on the floor and he got off the bed, bent over and tried to get it up. He was having trouble and his fingers were clumsy.

Unfortunately for Mr. Hatake, his nicely developed ass was facing the doorway.

"Oh my gosh, Kakashi-san's ass! It's…it's…bigger than mine!" A nurse screamed.

Kakashi looked at her, still bent over. "My ass? But…I've got on boxers." He muttered. "Anyway, nurse, I'm kind of having trouble picking this pill up. If you would be so kind as to—"

Before he could say anymore, the nurse (not the same one he had dumped in the laundry cart) picked up the pill for him, and was thoroughly groping his ass with the other hand.

"Thanks…uh…nurse, but could you please stop? Kurenai-chan-chan wouldn't like—"

The nurse gasped. "K-Kurenai-chan." She immediately stopped touching him and handed him his pill.

"Thanks." He popped it in his mouth and washed it down with a cup of water. He noticed the nurse was attempting to look away, but found her staring at his chest. He sighed. "Why do I have this problem with every single nurse?"

Even though it was a rhetorical question, the nurse attempted to answer. "Because…you're…"

"Quit harassing, Kakashi-sensei before he files a complaint!" Sakura yelled from the hallway.

The nurse blushed. "I'm sorry, Kakashi-san, I didn't mean to…harass…you, it's just…you're so sexy and hot and you don't' have your mask on and you well…you're in your boxers…"

Kakashi laughed. "Don't worry; I won't have you killed. All you did was grab my ass. Two years ago, a nurse tried to rape me."

"I don't blame her." The nurse said.

Kakashi laughed again, this time more forcefully. "Um…Sakura…get her…please."

Sakura sighed. "Dangit, sensei, this is the 2nd time today! I'll have to have a talk with those nurses." She said as she escorted the nurse out of the room. "Pretty soon, I'm going to start charging you for this."

Kakashi laughed. "That's fine." He sat back on his bed and sighed. "Thank God that's over. At least for another four hours."
