Peace and Quiet | sfw | #kakasaku
"You're a disgrace to shinobi everywhere," Kakashi said with a sigh, crouched down in the grass, holding his hand out as a peace offering.
"This is your fault, Hatake!" a squeaky voice filtered up to his ears.

He stared down at her tiny pink head, her face flushed with anger and tilted all the way back so she could look at him from where she stood amidst blades of grass as tall as she was.
He sighed once more, wiggling his fingers pointedly, waiting for her to hop on.

"C'mon," he urged. "I don't want you getting eaten by a squirrel. Imagine how badly that would go over with Tsunade-sama," he teased.

Still, as endearing as he found it, nothing was better than her enraged, squeaky snarl as he rose from his crouched position too quickly, sending her flying back onto her back.

"/Oof!/" she grunted, rolling around in his palm. "You did that on purpose!"
"Sorry, Sakura-chan," he said without an ounce of remorse.
"Hmmph. Can't believe your head is even /bigger/. Didn't think that was possible," she grumbled, scrutinizing him where she lay balled up.

"Big talk for someone so little," he teased.
"Just because I'm little doesn't mean I won't kill you!" she shouted shrilly.
"Yes, yes, you are small and mighty," he said with a sigh as he plucked her off his palm and dropped her onto his shoulder.

"Let's get moving. We can make it to Konoha by nightfall if we hurry."
"What's this we?" she complained. "If I had to walk back on my own, it would took me a week on these!"
She flung her legs out and gestured to them wildly.

Kakashi chuckled and began moving.
"Quit doing that," she complained.
"Doing what?"
"Laughing!"
"Mm? Does my happiness upset you, Sakura-chan?"
"/No,/ but it shakes your whole body! You probably wouldn't even notice if I fell off!"

"Oh, I think I'd notice," he said. She seemed placated by that.
"If you fell, the peace and quiet would be telling enough," he continued, grinning down at her.
She smacked her tiny hand against his neck, putting some chakra behind it so it stung. He supposed he deserved that.

"The Akimichi clan will have something to help you," he said, consoling her as best as he could while finding immense pleasure in her predicament.
"Hmph. For your sake, you better hope they do," she grumbled, arms crossed over her chest while she stewed quietly on his shoulder.

"But the second I'm regular sized, I'm kicking your ass," she threatened. "So much ass-kicking is coming your way, you have no idea. Just as soon as my legs are back to normal..."
"Don't worry, Sakura-chan. We'll have your long legs back in no time," he assured her.
"Don't worry, Sakura-chan. We'll have your long legs back in no time," he assured her.
"I miss them, too," he teased.
"Hmmph!" she huffed, her cheeks pink. "Perv. If you had been more focused on our surroundings instead of /my legs/ this never would have happened!"
Strictly speaking, it wasn't her legs he'd been looking at at the time, but he didn't correct her.

"Hmm, I'll keep my eyes to myself, from now on," he vowed, smirking at her disappointed pout.
"Well—that's not—/there is a time and place!/"
"Ah."
"And enemy territory is not it!"
"Is that so?"

She harrumphed and grumbled incoherently in his ear.
He /was/ eager to get her back to normal, both for her sake, as well as his own, selfishly, but he had to admit—it was kind of nice having a pocket-sized Sakura.
It would be much easier to shut her up if she stayed this way.

"New rule!" she declared. "No more canoodling on missions."
"Really," he said, raising an eyebrow at her in disbelief. Between the two of them, she was by far the wilier one.
She flushed bright red.
"Okaynocanoodlinginenemyterritory," she amended quickly.

"Unless we're sure we're in the clear," she continued. "Or, if we have another lookout. Do you think Pakkun would do it?"
"Sakura," he interrupted.
"Eh?"
"/Shhh.../"
She squealed in terror as he lifted her off his shoulder and dropped her into a pocket in his vest.

He'd pay for that later, but for now...
Peace and quiet.
Peace and quiet.
