please help Liz write "An Ounce of Prevention"

[edenfalling]

I need to decide on a character to be Sakura's mission partner in "An Ounce of Prevention" -- you know, the person who watches her while she's writing in the diary and makes sure she doesn't give away vital information, miss anything important, or start acting possessed.

The thing is, the guard's identity isn't that important in terms of PLOT, but it will definitely affect the TONE of the story, not to mention the side conversations. But I have a number of options that are equally entertaining for me, and no real preference for any of them.

So.

Who should be Sakura's guard?


A) Kakashi (bored and with nothing better to do, or trying to make up for past failures)

B) Iruka (taking time after school to help out an old student)

C) Anko (what? It'd be fun! And potentially useful in a minor plot point later on)

D) Ibiki (this is his JOB)

E) Tsunade (gets bored and ditches her paperwork for something more interesting)

F) Team 10 or Team Gai (Team 8 is out of town right now)

G) somebody else (please specify)

---------------

ETA: We have a winner, and the winner is Mitarashi Anko! Kakashi is the runner-up, followed by votes for notifying Ibiki (but not using him as a guard, since he has other things he should be doing), and what seems like an interest in having Iruka and members of Team 10 drop by for cameos.

So my main characters are now Sakura, Tom, Tsunade, Anko, and potentially Kakashi as a fill-in guard (because unless Anko moves into Sakura's house -- which I am not ruling out; she might do something nuts like that -- she can't watch Sakura 24/7). That means I have 3 female characters to 1 or 2 male characters. I like this ratio. :-D

It's a pity team 8 can't be involved, becuase I would say Kurenai since she is a genjutsu user. Other than that, I would say Anko because 1)Hee, fun and 2)she was trained by the shinobi-equivalent of Voldemort, so she has experience with those types.

and as much fun as it would be to see Iruka react to Tom's lack of respect for authority, he is not the one writing, so nevermind XD

But no matter who you choose, I'd love to read more, it's a great story.
