Sakura stared down at the man next to her and sighed. She was starting to inherit her Shishou's habit for drinking and bad gambles; this really had to stop. She lifted her eyes to the picture on the dresser, the one of his wife. They hadn't even turned it around while they had done it, and she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty; even if the woman had been dead in the ground for three years.

Her eyes went back to the man, and for a moment she just watched him; the sheet covering him up to the waist rising and falling with each breath he took. It figured that her best lover so far would be more than twenty years her senior. Giving another sigh she moved from the bed, gathered her clothes, dressed, and slipped from the room as though she had never been there.

Opening his eyes Shikaku Nara smiled. She was like a cat, sneaking out in the middle of the night, after being petted to her content. If the pink haired hellion thought she was getting away that easily, she was wrong; and he had no problem proving it. It had been a while since he had to woo a woman, hell it might even be fun. His eyes went to Yoshino's picture, and he smiled, she'd approve. Hell she would have hit him if he allowed the elders to pick out another wife for him. Nope he had to do it, and Sakura Haruno was perfectly capable of reigning in his clan.

Settling back into bed Shikaku Nara dozed back into sleep, plans of wooing whirling in his mind. He needed a bossy woman in his life.

This comes from my one shot in 80 day challenge, probably won't be more than 5 chapters. Hope y'all enjoy.
