Prompt from ihatewriting: Kakashi's hounds
A/N: Again, another few sentences snatched from two precious hours of a break. I'm not really good with prompts, so please send me some to hone my skills.
Breathlessly and in fear for his life, Shikamaru sprinted to Kakashi. "Kakashi-san," panted Shikamaru, "lend me Pakkun."
"Why?" asked the masked shinobi.
"It's happened again."
Kakashi raised his visible brow. "You have everything else prepared?"
"Yeah. Come on, Kakashi-san, I'm gonna die!!"

Temari opened her fan. "You were two hours late! ON OUR ANNIVERSARY!"
"Wait!" Shikamaru prepared to duck in case she didn't. "Shall we talk inside? Not here, everyone can see us!"
Temari's eyes narrowed and she stomped into the flat. Shikamaru heaved a sigh of relief.
He was going to keep his skin in one piece.

Later the next day, Shikamaru told Kakashi that he should sell tickets.
"There is nothing," said the shadow-nin happily, "nothing, quite as cheering as watching a pug eat caramel and toffee pudding. She laughed herself to tears."
"She forgave you?" Kakashi smiled. Pakkun had been quite satisfied with the sweet treat.
"She forgot entirely about it until much later, after I had apologized thoroughly."
"... thoroughly, huh." Even with his mask and forehead protector on, it was still possible to see Kakashi's leer.
"Eh heh." Shikamaru chuckled embarrassedly and scuttled off.
