A/N: Possible crack and just for fun. Loosely (in some cases very loosely) based on the 50 shinobi theme challenge. Shinobi Theme #45 Ribbon turned into Gift which then turned into Thank You.
Canine Persuasion: Thank You
Today was Kakashi's day off. He was lazing about, doing nothing more than reading his book and giggling occasionally while Pakkun quietly observed him. Thinking about the nin's predicament with his favorite kunoichi frustrated the pug beyond belief. Perhaps Kakashi just needed a push in the right direction. Kami knows it would take forever for the man himself to get around to asking her out and by that time it might be too late.
Nonchalantly, Pakkun sidled over to Kakashi and pawed at his leg, waiting for him to look down from his book before he began to speak. "You should do something nice for Sakura. Maybe take her out to dinner…"
Kakashi stared at him blankly.
"For helping you the other night," he prodded. "I hear she likes those syrup coated dumplings." Pakkun snickered mentally. He could almost see the grimace underneath Kakashi's mask. The ninja hated those things but Sakura liked them so it wouldn't hurt him to suck it up for one evening.
"Maybe." Kakashi shrugged his shoulders and started to walk away.
"Don't skip out on the ticket," Pakkun called after him.
Kakashi turned, his eye creasing upward in a one-eyed smile.
Pakkun narrowed his own eyes. "Kakashi…"
The crease seemed to deepen as Kakashi waved and resumed walking.
"He better not screw this up," Pakkun muttered under his breath. Only time would tell what the nin would do with the opportunity presented to him.
