A/N: Possible crack and just for fun. Loosely (in some cases very loosely) based on the 50 shinobi theme challenge. Shinobi Theme #3 Tossing a Coin turned into to believe him or not which turned into excuses. Excuses turned into Lost on the Road to Life because wasn't that the original excuse?
I also would like to apologize for the length of time it took to get this part out. We are moving at the end of the month and every spare minute has been spent packing. The next part may be a bit late too due to unpacking but we'll see. Thanks so much for your patience :)
Canine Persuasion: Lost on the Road to Life
Shifting in Sakura's lap, Pakkun stared at Kakashi disapprovingly. "Finally decided to show up?"
Kakashi slowly entered the room and closed the door, distractedly patting Bull's head. "You know I had errands."
"Boy, what is wrong with you? There's late and then there's late." Sakura stirred as her hand fell into her lap. The pug watched intently but her deep even breathing resumed. He lowered his voice. "Where were you?"
Kakashi shoved his hands into his pockets. "I had to dig a turtle out of a hole."
Pakkun stared at him blankly while Urushi grunted.
"Maa maa." Kakashi waved his hands in front of him. "I also had to hand feed an old lady porridge... with chopsticks."
Bisuke rolled over and glowered.
"However that's not what kept me." His brows knitted. "I had to search the bottom of a lake to find a rare treasure and deliver it to its master. It took longer than expected."
Pakkun huffed. "Your metaphors are terrible. No wonder everyone thinks you make stuff up. Look underneath the underneath my tail."
Edging further into the room, Kakashi turned his gaze to Sakura. "She looks comfortable. We should let her sleep. She doesn't get enough as busy as she is."
"Yes, she does work hard. In fact, she worked hard making eggplant just for you." Snorting, Pakkun rose from his spot in Sakura's lap and jumped to the floor. "She doesn't try to pawn off bad ramen on other people."
Kakashi's face tinged pink. "She made a special dish just for me? That makes me feel -" His confession was interrupted as Sakura abruptly sat up and flung Guruko, who'd been laying on her legs, at Kakashi. Garuko flipped in midair and landed on Kakashi's head.
Still half asleep, Sakura blearily focused on Kakashi. "What happened?"
"You attacked me," Kakashi stared at her incredulously, "with my own ninkin."
Stretching, she sat up a little straighter. "I did what now?"
"You-," Kakashi was interrupted again by an urgent knock at the door.
The person behind the door flared their chakra before letting themselves in. "Both of you are requested to attend a meeting with the Hokage. Immediately." Light glinted off the white porcelain mask as the ANBU nodded their head and shunshined away.
Looking at each other in mutual understanding, both Kakashi and Sakura took off for Hokage Tower. Pakkun, not wanting to be left out, ran after them, while the rest of the pack continued to nap all over Sakura's apartment.
