Hey, not to thrilled with this chapter, but the next one will be way better I promise!
"Hmmmm, I suppose it's alright, why didn't your teammates take him?" Mrs. Haruno looked at her daughter.
"Naruto's apartment complex doesn't allow pets, and Sasuke didn't say anything." Sakura felt nervous lying to her mom, but after a while her mother nodded.
"Alright, but you're taking care of her-"
Him, what is it with people and not getting the right gender on dogs? Kakashi barked. (1)
"Mom, his name is Fang."
"I will not take care of it, it's you're job."
Now I'm an it? Good grief, Sasuke's house would've been better.
"Thank you mom!!" Sakura hugged her mother, happy. "I will!" Still smiling, she turned around. "Come on, Fang I'll show you my room!" Kakashi limped after her up the stairs.
Slow down!
"Don't let it on the furniture!" Mrs. Haruno called up the stairs.
"Hai!" Kakashi reluctantly followed Sakura, hoping there would be some place to lay down that was soft.
Pink. Way to much pink. Kakashi wished there wasn't so much pink in the room. Or red. Okay forget Naruto's obession with that orange jumpsuit, This takes color schemes to the next dimension. So does that Sasuke shrine right there. Sakura had a box in the cornor of her closet with Sasuke's picture, or rather make it plural, there were pictures on the box from when the three were in the Academy.
"Sakura! Ino's on the phone!"
"Okay!" Sakura turned to Kakashi, who quickly acted like he was sniffing her clothes.(2) "Stay here, don't get on my bed, I'll be right back."
Uh-huh, sure thing. Once she was out of the room, He looked at the pictures again. The one that caught his attention the most was one that had been taken in the Academy yard, Sasuke was sitting alone, yet in the right top cornor, Naruto was there, looking from behind a pole at Sasuke with curiosity. Kakashi doubted Sakura had noticed that fact, otherwise Naruto might not have been there. Another was of an aloof Sasuke surrounded by girls, Naruto this time leaning on a fence glaring at him, annoyed. Wonder what changed right there. Maybe I should ask Naruto. Hmm. Kakashi backed out of the closet, once again visually attacked by the colors pink and red. At this point, Kakashi felt dizzy, and his back leg was no longer holding his weight. He was grateful that the floor was a really soft carpet when he lay down. I don't know which is worse, recovering in my normal body, or this one . . . He was asleep before he could think aout it anymore.
Sakura came back to her room after a long conversation with Ino, and was surprised to see Fang sound asleep, The dog was curled up infront of her bed. "Kawaii . . ." She found her camera and took a quick picture.
Kakashi woke up at the sound of the click. Kami . . . now there are going to be pictures of this. I really do not want to remember this. Yawning, he sat up, and tried wagging his tail. The thing didn't move. Okay, let's try this again, Hi, Sakura, do you have some food? His tail wagged at that. Okay, so happy thoughts make it wag, Kami, this is really ridiculous, I don't know who's plan it was, but who up there hates me this bad? I sound like a kid's book.
Sakura was surprised at how white his teeth were, and sharp. One bit to my arm would leave puncture marks and scars. She did smile at the tail wag though. He's cute. I hope I can show him to Ino tomorrow. Putting the camera on her bookshelf, out of Kakashi's reach, She hugged him. "I wonder where you came from, you're so well trained." She rubbed his ears again.
Well, maybe I could enjoy the ear rubs alittle more, I'm going to be like this for awhile until I can figure out a way to communicate, if not with nins then with dogs that can talk to the Inuzuka's. Or If this wears off I could say I don't remember what happened in this form, save me some face.(3)Kakashi's mind debated the issue for awhile, till he realized Sakura was standing up. Why'd she stop?
"I wonder why Naruto was so quiet today? He's usually such a pest, asking me on dates, challenging Sasuke-kun, but he didn't do anything like that today." Sakura took a picture off her nightstand. Kakashi recgonized it as their team photo. "See, he normally looks like this, orange jumpsuit, that stupid grin on his face . . ." Kakashi felt a lightbulb go on over his head, he lightly nudged the glass with his nose, right over where he was in the picture. "Oh, that's Kakashi-sensei, he left on a mission two weeks ago, said he'd be back in a week, but it could take up to a month . . . I hope he's okay, but he could be taking his time coming back, he's late alot. Sometimes he's here and I don't really see him, 'cause he's busy keeping Naruto from killing Sasuke-kun." Sakura jerked slightly as 'Fang' put his head on her shoulder.
Sorry, Sakura, I'll train you when I get back to normal, I promise. Kakashi mentally kicked himself for ignoring one of his student's training.
"He's really strong, so I feel really safe with him, he's kinda like the dad I never had." (4)
Oh, great, that's something else I forgot, Sakura's dad died in Kyuubi's attack. Kakashi really should've paid more attention to the sandaime when he talked about the team he was giving Kakashi. Okay, how do I stop her train of thought from going to depression? Kakashi reluctantly did the one thing he could think of, he nuzzled her ear. The squeal made him wince, but it did the trick.
"You're so cute!!" He was hugged again. This time no bones crunched. "Mom still has me going to bed at eight, and that's an hour from now." (5)
Kakashi watched as Sakura curled in bed, amused that she didn't actually have a Sasuke plushie she slept with, (and relieved) but she did have a stuffed bear. Kakashi lay on the ground, waiting for her to fall asleep before he did as well, a habit he had developed with the group during Wave. Kakashi gave a slight sigh as he put his head down. I wonder why I'm like this now .. . His head snapped up as he realized he couldn't remember anything about the mission he had just been on, he remembered leaving, then a desperate run on four legs to get back. Details were gone, he didn't even remember the type of mission he had been on, or what it was about. Mission, told the team I would be gone for a week or up to a month meaning after a month search parties would be sent, unless it had been borderline suicidal then I'll just be listed as MIA, and I'm now some wolf/dog hybrid. Kakashi sighed again. I'm good at puzzles, but right now, I can't solve this one, especially since my memory is gone, now how am I going to communicate? That's a bigger issue. Kakashi fell asleep, realizing he'd have to try tommorrow with attempts to communicate.
(1) I personally hate it when people mess up my pets's gender, and since Kakashi's a dog person like me, I thought I'd add that in.
(2) My dog's always do this if they get in my closet, I have no clue why.
(3) Methinks Kakashi is overthinking this issue . . . but he's right, he could do it.
(4) Yet another creative liberty of mine since Sakura's parent's are never mentioned.
(5) For the sake of the story, just ignore the tiny time skips I have, I'm trying to speed things up a little. As for the bed time, I had to go to bed at eight even when I was thirteen going on fourteen, I didn't actually sleep, but I was in bed by that time.
