Title: Laws of Love
Genre: Romance/Humor
Rating: T
Pairing: Kakashi/Sakura
Note: Kakashi is about 3 to 4 years younger than in the manga/anime. (Putting him at about 25-26 years old, instead of early 30's);
Also, I think I failed to mention this before, Sakura has made jounin just recently. (As in "past few months" recently.)
Summary: A new law comes into effect on Sakura's birthday. On that day, all suitors must ask for her hand and she must answer that same day. Sakura doesn't think that she will have any suitors – so she doesn't leave the house – until she's forced to. But what she doesn't know is that she does have suitors. Question is: will she fall for one of them? (KakaSaku)
FYI: Just to let you all know, this isn't a full chapter, but I thought I would give you guys an update considering I'm having writer's block right now and you all deserve an update! I will try and update as soon as possible with the rest of it! Sorry that this is so short!

"Shock?"
Tsunade stood at the door of the hospital bed, glaring warningly at the white-haired jounin.
"Yes, Hatake. She passed out from shock. I'm surprised that you didn't – "
Kakashi spoke sternly, his voice interrupting the blonde Hokage. "I made sure she didn't fall face first off of her chair, didn't I?"
The female sannin sniffed. "She's my apprentice; she wouldn't have fallen on her face."
Kakashi just shook his head. "Whatever," the nin glanced over at his pink-haired fiancé – he still had to get used to that – his eyes grazing over her peaceful figure before moving back toward the elder kunoichi.
"You said earlier something about Sakura and I living together," he gulped, "immediately? Who's house will we be staying at? I mean – "
"Yours, unless you and Sakura otherwise agree on a suitable house that has one master bedroom and one guest bedroom. You may not," Tsunade glared at Kakashi, then sighed, a slouch returning in her figure, "sleep in the guest bedroom by order of the Elders, although I'd much rather it if you did. We, as in either me or one of the Elders, will have to come and check on you every so often. But Kakashi," the Leaf nin glanced up to Tsunade, his eyes never once straying away from the speaker, "don't hurt her."
Tsunade walked past him quickly, her eyes downcast, making Kakashi wonder what she might know about him that he didn't. Which is quite an odd statement to make.
Kakashi moved toward the bed, pulling a chair up to sit in.
His arms crossed over the chair backward, the jounin gazed at Sakura, his thoughts wandering back to the more. . . interesting parts of the day. A smirk – no, a smile – appeared on his face, though one would not notice for he was wearing a mask, something that covered not only his face, but his emotions as well.
"Well, Blossom, I don't know what I've gotten myself into, but I can tell you this," the Hatake leaned down, his masked lips brushing her ear, "it's going to be one hell of a ride."

". . . and he's been here ever since you passed out – day and a half. I can't wholly explain why you were out that long, but you should be well rested now, Sakura-san. Oh, and Hatake," Tsunade turned her head toward the jounin – 'Damn, I've been caught. I was planning on going back to sleep!' –, "don't try going back to sleep. I know you're awake now; you're breathing gave it away, so get your ass up and help your fiancé to your new home."
'How the hell does she read my — wait, new home?'
"What do you mean, new home?" Kakashi spoke his thoughts as he sat up, for the first time noticing that somebody had placed him on a bed.
Sakura, too, looked at her shishou. "Hai, what do you mean? I knew we had to live together," the pink-haired nin, not unlike Kakashi had, gulped as she said this (although a small amount of pink was noticeable on her cheeks), "im-mediately, I was unaware that we were getting new living quarters."
Reaching up, the blonde sannin began to laugh nervously, and even though her body language spoke wonders, it was Kakashi who, in the end, spoke out loud.
"We aren't supposed to. She went out and got us a house, that or had the Elders change the law. . . again."
Green eyes wide, Sakura turned to a gaping Tsunade. "Is what he says true, shishou?"
"Well, uh, y'see. . . ?" The female Hokage stood there, nervously scratching the back of her neck. As if that wasn't obvious enough.
"I could've. . . we could've chosen our own house ourselves, Tsunade-shishou!" The young kunoichi jounin yelled out in her anger, her face flushed red in rage.
Getting up, Kakashi walked over to Sakura, his eyes not leaving her as he sat down at her bedside. "Shh – calm down, Blossom. We'll work it out. Think of it this way: we still get to decorate it our way, and if they decorated it already, we'll throw it out and decorate it ourselves, okay?"
The dark-eyed jounin smiled, and although it was not highly noticeable, Sakura knew from years of knowing him. Sighing, she closed her eyes, smiling back as she leaned against him.
"Hai, hai, 'Kashi. Whatever. But it better be in good taste – the house, that is – because if it isn't, then whoever chose it is going to face my wrath." Sakura's eyes, filled with thoughts of torment and cruelty, gazed up at Kakashi as she chuckled, then smiled gently.
He gulped; he now feared her (though he had no reason).
A thought occurred to Sakura. "Hey, Tsunade-shi. . . shou. . . ? Where'd she go?" The pink-haired kunoichi asked, looking around the room for the blonde.
Kakashi blinked, wondering the same thing. "I don't know, Sakura. But I have a feeling that she might be getting us a better house."
"Why?" She asked, gazing up at him.
Smirking beneath his mask, he just shook his head. "Call it a feeling, I guess."
