A/N: Possible crack and just for fun. Loosely (in some cases very loosely) based on the 50 shinobi theme challenge. Shinobi Theme #2 Deep Fried Vegetables turned into Tempura.
Canine Persuasion: Tempura
Eagerly, Pakkun trotted through the streets of Konoha until he reached the hospital. He sniffed his way through a maze of corridors and up a flight of stairs before he found her office. Standing in the doorway, he observed Sakura. She was always so busy. At least today she was sitting still at her desk going through a stack of charts.
She glanced up from her work, very surprised to see him. Suddenly, she looked worried, "Is Kakashi okay?"
Pakkun grinned, happy that Kakashi's safety was her first thought. "He's fine. I have something for you. A gift from Kakashi."
She stared at him quizzically, "A gift? Are you sure he's okay?"
Pakkun chuckled. "Take a look." He moved forward and tilted his head so that she could reach his collar. She took the note and read it silently. Again, he tried to see what was written but much to his chagrin the writing remained elusive. Sakura smiled softly as two smaller rectangular pieces of paper fell from the note. "You seem happy. What did you get?"
Laughing, she showed him the two smaller pieces of paper. "Tempura coupons. At least I like tempura. The ramen he tried to foist off on me the other day was awful. Tell Kakashi thank you. I really appreciate these. I don't get treats very often."
Pakkun nodded. "Take care Sakura." It wasn't perfect but at least it was a step in the right direction.
