tinyyyyy tiny bit of fic. Part of the still-incomplete Oft Awry, sequel to Best Laid Plans. Scenelet with Sakura and Lee and boy do I suck at Lee and LeeSaku. Plz to tell me if i'm doing them OOC, it seems weird to me. i've never written them as an item before. ~___~
"... I... I can...?" Sakura stammered, staring at her husband with wide eyes.
"Of course you can," Lee repeated, nodding firmly.
She could see the fire of his determination burning in his eyes. Oh, god, help, she hadn't actually been seriously thinking he would okay her half-baked scheme. "What -- really?"
"My love, light of my life, never would I dream of mistrusting your love for me. Never would I dream of preventing you from virtuously assisting your comrades in their noble endeavor, for indeed the bond between teammates is the greatest of them all!"
"But. Won't you -- I mean -- be... jealous?"
"... second only to the bond of holy matrimony," Lee added with a sheepish grin.
Sakura giggled briefly, and then hugged her husband hard. "Don't worry. Never worry. I love them both very much, but I am not what either of them needs... and they aren't what I need either. And I love you."
He nodded gravely, returning the hug. "I understand, Sakura-san. They are your important people. Why, if Gai-sensei needed --"
Sakura slapped her hands on her husband's mouth. "Lee-san. Please think very carefully about this sentence."
Lee turned kind of greenish. "...Of course, Gai-sensei is an amazing person who wouldn't have any problem finding a loving wife if it was his wish to build a family."
Sakura nodded, smiling awkwardly. Yeurgh, bad mental picture. Very bad. "Of course. But he doesn't, because he already has the most perfect son he could wish for in you. Now you were saying something about eating out?" And then she dragged him toward the door despite his embarrassed and pleased stammering, hoping to leave the traumatizing image behind.

Also, in an entirely hypothetical case, if I were writing a furries AU with the Naruto characters (and provided that they are ALL mammals, shush, I know how to deal with Orochimaruand Kisame rly), and Naruto was a fox (duh), Sasuke and Neji cats, Kakashi a wolf, Lee a squirrel and Tenten a panda,
1) what the HELL would Gai be? (not a squirrel, but something that would vaguely resemble it? but not something that fears wolves all too much either?)
2) Sakura -- rabbit ? it would be cute, but does it fit her? I dunno. Too prey-ish for post-timeskip Sakura, maybe.
3) Chouji? Tsunade?
Jiraiya would totally be a fox/wolf mix. Yeah. Arctic. *loves on*
Most common species would be the foxes, followed by the cats and rabbits. (cats are usually common cats, though; Neji is more like a Persian/snow leopard and Sasuke would be a siamese/panther. Since they're human-sized and don't shapeshift, it doesn't matter much which, apart from the fur pattern) Cross-species children don't happen very often, though it's a lot easier to cross, say, a coyote and a wolf than it is a dog and a cat. Predator/predator or prey/prey works better than predator/prey. Foxes have a somewhat higher percent of success in cross-species behbies, whatever the species. The baby is usually (unless in special cases muahaha) more or less the mother's species but can take the coloring from the father; sometimes they also have a few mental and behavioral traits from the father.
... hrrrm. still setting things up, so if you see a hole in reasoning or something you're not sure you get, please to be pointing it out so I can fix/clarify. *^^*
edit: Tsunade = war horse; Sakura: Arabian (tiny and elegant and temperamental, and sometimes surprisingly sturdy for something so delicate-looking)
Chouji = brown bear. yeah.
...someone suggested Gai as an otter, because then he could spazz with squirrel!Lee. XD opinions?
