Summary: The only son born to his parents, it falls upon young Hatake to continue the family name. Be that as it may, with his busy life he doesn't feel the necessity to further complicate it (his life) with marriage. Hence, his mother takes it upon herself to find him a bride. This is the story of how spring came to this field. AU. Drabble format.
Spring Comes to This Field
Several months earlier...
"Mother, No!" frustrated, Kakashi stood up and started pacing around his small apartment room. "How could you even think of such a thing! She's barely older than Hanae. It'll be like marrying my own sister for Kami's sake," he growled.
"Aa," she calmly patted the empty bed besides her, a silent command for him to sit down.
"..."
"So," she gazed at him serenely, "do you have another young lady in mind?" She sipped her tea. "Of your own age of course," she added almost as an after thought.
"..."
"I see," she sadly shook her head at him. "Then we'll expect you home when the time comes. The Hokage has been informed of your up coming nuptials so you will have time to prepare."
And nothing to interrupt he added darkly.
