Because I felt like it. Samurai chapter will be uploaded tomorrow everyone, but for now:

Enjoy!

"Kakashi-sensei?"

There was no answer from him, he was almost napping up in this tree she'd found him in. Shinobi rarely fell out of trees, so she didn't bother trying not to startle him.

"I think we should get married." His coal black eye cracked open a little at that, seeking out her face.

"We're not even dating—we don't even flirt, there's no chemistry, it'd be like being married to work."

"And that's exactly why we should. There will be someone strong and steady to come home to, not some emotional, hormonal wreck. And then we'd also get to sex each other up—and face it, your kids would be adorable, my kids would be adorable, therefore our kids could take over the fucking world."

"Does this have something to do with your biological clock? I'd really rather not get into something like this just so you can be a parent," he settled back to napping, or at least giving the pretense of it.

"No, no, nothing like that. But I've got trust issues since…since ever, and you're pretty trustworthy. The only way you'd leave me—and our badass kids—is if I fed you tempura or if you died on a mission. And the same for me, except I love tempura and I hope you know the sacrifices I'm prepared to make for you."

"Such a heart-warming sentiment, you have for me, Sakura-chan, while you're trying to propose," he mumbled.

"Shut up, Kakashi-sensei."

"What do I get out of this arrangement, then? It seems it benefits you quite heavily," his words were said with a heaving sigh as he sat up properly and looked at her as though he was treating this as seriously as she was.

"You get your own personal medic available mostly all the time, you'll have someone to look after Pakkun's little ones while you're away on missions, someone to debate Icha Icha with, I'm one of the only woman in the village who can empathize with your obsession with the cenotaph, and most importantly I won't make you talk about your past because you've never made me talk about mine."

"Hmm…one of us probably has to retire from field-duty if that children thing is really going to work out."

"We'll figure out which one of us when there are kids, until then there's no point. Is that you agreeing in the most infuriatingly round-about way possible, Kakashi-sensei?"

"I suppose it would be that, yes. When would you like to get married, Sakura-chan?"
