Standard disclaimer applies. Again, thank you for all your reviews and support. I'm glad that some of y'all like my little snippets. Oh, and just to let you know tomorrow is probably the last day I'm going to post anything because I'm leaving to visit family for Easter. I might be able to post but no promises.

In this chapter, Yamato finally makes an appearance! This chapter is a slight continuation from the last chapter, as you'll see from the conversation. Mothers' voices and pleas are hard to expel from daughters' minds, especially when they are annoying.

And as always,

Enjoy

Slightly Inappropriate

"Yamato-taicho," Sakura whispered into her headpiece.

"What's up, Sakura?" Silence. "Sakura?"

"Why aren't you married?"

She heard the distinct sound of sputtering on the other end.

"We're on a mission, Sakura. Focus." As if she could forget Sakura thought looking around her treetop vantage point. There was so much God-forsaken foliage that she wouldn't be surprised if some of it ended up her ass.

"Yeah, a mission where fucking nothing is happening. We've been here three days, it's over." And it was true. The target was supposed to show up yesterday at the latest.

"We finish today and then we report back." Yamato sighed heavily.

"I need a drink." Yamato didn't respond so Sakura pushed on. "Taicho, if not married why don't you have a girlfriend?"

"Sakura-"

"It's not like you're ugly."

Silence. Then there was another heavy, masculine sigh. "Maybe we should go back now."

Sakura smiled. "Now that's the spirit, taicho!"
