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?

(Anonymous) 2006-05-13 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)As for sakura as a rabbit. Rabbits can rather be vicious. Thos back legs hurt if they can get a real good kick in. >.> Yeah I had a friend in elementary school with a mean rabbit and I had no clue how to pick up a rabbit. You can just imagine the rest.
For Choiji have you thought about a bear? Bears are constantly foarging to put on weight for the winter and they are omnivores. Plus in popular images they can be dangerous or cuddly.
Tsunade... Sloth? *ducks and hides* Slothes can actually move really fast if attacked and with those huge claws pack a big whoolup
*crawls back into her hole*

Dunno what it is this last week. I keep forgetting to log in. Sorry about that.
And just soyou know I found the little snippet cute. I can't really comment on whether lee is ooc or not cause I have trouble pin down his character.

I like you hare idea, though. The hares in Redwall did kick ass. And, they could be love besot fools too ;)
no subject
+ long patrol, wot wot.no subject
They always kicked ass in Redwall.Gai: Dog? A big dog. A big hyper, happy go lucky dog, competive, the sort that always strains on the leash to be about two steps ahead, loyal to the end. Intelligent but slightly slow (would be more likely to take a wolf as another dog),
And is secreetly a woobie.Tsunade: Horse? Glamourous, got one hell of a kick and massive inbuilt strength, certain breeds tend to be tempremental. Bit of a prey like creature, so can explain blood phobia etc. But.... Warhorse. GOt the training and the guts to over come and kick the hell out of any fox/wolves that would like to bother her.
no subject
Thanks for getting the image of the jackalope out of my head.
no subject
And Tsunade could be one too. Probably a grizzly bear. They are the strongest and most dangerous ones, from what I gathered.
And how about dogs? Kakashi is often featured as having a wolf-type -personality, but his summons are the dogs. Imagine him being a lazy Afghan hound, for instance. If the shoe fits...
no subject
I like Tsunade as a horse. Y'know, sometimes they have that little diamond on their foreheads.... And Chouji is totally a bear. I think you're on your own with Gai. XD

Re: PS. Thank you kindly :D I find it very useful for expressing opinions.
no subject
I can see Tsunade as a lion, or a Cougar.
Gai could be a skunk, or a kangaroo! Or a platapus. A Japanese Wolf would be cool.
Sakura could be a Flat-headed Cat, heh. Or a red-panda. She's pretty hard.
Just some ideas for you ^_^
no subject
Gai as a skunk... has possibilities. XD
What do you think of Sakura as a horse? *ponderyponder* I can't have her be a predator too, need to balance the teams a bit.
no subject
no subject
... Sakura = filly? *PONDERS* it would make her fast and she'd kick HARD...

and provided that they are ALL mammals
^___^;;; (otherwise i'd have to have Neji be a bird and then the connection betwen the hyuuga and the uchiha would go byebye.)

You know what the problem is? Most mammals aren't green, that's what the problem is. Oh wait, one is but it's kind of weird looking.

You could make Sakura into an Otter or something. She seems kind of aquatic with her eye colour and all, and those things are quick and intelligent. Or maybe a bobcat or something.
And your Lee characterization was fine, from what I saw. Although when he makes speeches starting with "my love, light of my life" I would expect him to be posing dramatically in some way. ^_^
no subject
hahaha XD yeah, doesn't really fit. Still, the idea is awesome.
... duh!! I know I was forgetting something. thanks for reminding me of The Pose. ♥
no subject
Chouji, I agree with prior suggestions, as a bear. Maybe even a panda.
Gai? Bush-baby. ;D Kidding. I say maned wolf. Mostly because it's really a fox, but. Uh. Is lanky and amuses me.
/end random
no subject
Panda is for Tenten, so Chouji will be a normal bear. (besides pandas don't eat korean barbeque! that can't do XD)
As for Gai, he's too neat to be a maned wolf, but that's a neat beastie. I need to find someone for it. *^^*
no subject
Yes. Herd mentality, and just how *__* strong and awesome I think horses are. ♥
no subject
I go with the consensus that the Akimichi clan should be bears.
I like the idea of Tsunade as a cougar. I also have a voice in my head (a voice which I will smack momentarily) telling me she should be a cow. Udders, you know.

Whut do you have against turtles, I ask. T^T
No, I don't really care about turtlesbut I don't think the one Gai originally showed up on was ever properly explained. o.O
Gai.

Hmm.. Gai as a possum? They can get pretty big, but would most likely be wolf-chow in minutes. XD
Eee! Naruto!Furries!! ♥
no subject
Also, I love how you write Lee, he makes such a sweet hubby. ♥~
no subject
Too bad you specified mammals, because Gai would so be a peacock. Hmm, I think you need an animal who preens a lot. And who makes a lotta noise. Yeah, some monkeys would do (howler monkey, snerk) but it still gives the wrong mental image. When a story describes a character as similar to a monkey, we immediately get an image that is almost the opposite of what Gai is. Hmm, maybe one of those excitable lizards who unfurl their capes and prance up and down to impress- wait, no, not a mammal. Too bad, 'cause they're green :D
