Warning Shot

Authoress' Note A: I started another one. I guess this is the only one I may be able to finish. I hope you enjoy it. Deidara's alive in here. Tobi's still Tobi. Jiraiya is dead. Just wanted to get that out in the open now.

Chapter UN (1): Just Another Hospital

This is a warning shot, your final call
An
empty morgue with gunning hearts and hollowed crowns

Sakura's feet tapped nervously on the floor as she continued to eat her cereal. The kitchen was dark, minus the bulb over the sink. It was nearing eleven now. Her face was less then pleased. Her normally attractive face was marred with ugly frown marks and her eyes were lowered in something like self-hate.
Across from her, sitting on the table in a messy, smelly pile were thin white sticks. Some pink, some had floral designs on it. All had the same thing, a small plus. Varying in blue and red. This is what was causing her distress.
The past few days she's been getting sick. Well, mostly feeling weak and nauseas. She also felt like she was getting heavier. It was starting to annoy her. Then, during one of her few days off she was training and collapsed shortly after the training started. A few hours later she woke up and went to the store. She had a suspicion of what the problem was. She was hoping she was just dying.
She bought a few tests, and then hid them. They've been in hiding for a week until she finally got up the nerve to do them. Two and a half dozen tests later, she was pregnant.
Then she sat down and made herself some cereal. She looked into her bowl, finding the pile of plastic not pleasant anymore. She'd have to go to a baby doctor; there was no way she'd mess around in her own stomach. She was also wondering on whether she should keep it or not.
She knew who the father was. He was the last person to get intimate with her within the last two years. She regretted it. It was a bad move. Horrible move. She nearly smacked herself thinking back on it.
She couldn't bring herself to end the life of something so innocent, even if half of it was insane. She touched her stomach lightly, putting her spoon on the table without a noise. She sighed and closed her eyes. She needed rest.

The next day she found herself standing outside of her teacher, wondering if going to the blonde was the best choice right now. But it was too late; she'd have to go in. Maybe Tsunade would be able to help her. She walked into the building, nodded towards the girl behind the desk and took the stairs to the top where she found Shizune sitting outside of the door.
"Hey Sakura." The girl said with a wide smile. She could hear the pig snoring under the table like a dog or a cat would. Sakura smiled back.
"Is she free?"
"Yeah, just going over some missions. Go in." Shizune went back to her work and Sakura continued into the room. Her sensei was looking over some scrolls and barely looked up to acknowledge her student walk in.
"Yeah?" Tsunade asked. Sakura stood in front of the large oak desk, more nervous then she thought she would have been. After a minute of not saying anything Tsunade looked up, "what is it?"
"I…" She started, wondering how this would go over. "I'm pregnant..." Her words were small sounding. She looked down at her feet, finding them suddenly interesting.
Tsunade's eyes widened and she looked at Sakura like she was insane.
"Are you serious?"
Sakura nodded.
"Do...you know who the father is?" The older woman asked lightly.
"Y-yes." Tsunade looked up at her expectantly. "It's…um, Deidara of the Akatsuki."
That's when the room got quiet. A sickly thick tension filled the air. Then she heard some scribbling and the pop of some people showing up into the room. Sakura looked up to see Tsunade's personal ANBU standing next to her, taking the note in her hand, and then disappearing.
"Well…if that is true. And you're sure?" She looked up to see Sakura nod. "Then you'll need protection. Come to the hospital with me, we'll get you checked out and figure out what to do from here. But you'll have a bodyguard. News will spread and we will have to make sure that if the Akatsuki hear this they won't easily capture you." Sakura opened her mouth to protest, but Tsunade put her hand up. "No buts. You told me. This is what you get. But thank you, for telling." With that Tsunade stood and started towards the door with Sakura in tow.
"Hold my calls and meetings, Shizune, I'll be back in a few hours." Shizune nodded, confused and the two walked onto the streets of Konoha with a new mission. One feeling betrayed and the other, feeling worried.

Sakura walked into her house, feeling violated and ill. She did not think she'd be poked and prodded so much, given so much vitamins and medicine. She dropped her bag of meds on the living room table and sighed, wiping some sweat from her forehead. She headed into the bathroom to relieve herself when she heard a knock. She sighed and turned around, hoping it wasn't Tsunade or the doctors with more meds.
Neji Hyuuga was the last person on her mind to show up on her doorstep. She blinked at his presence and stammered out her greeting.
"Hello as well. I'm here to pick you up." His tone was monotone almost.
"For what?"
"Hokage's orders. You are to stay with the Hyuuga's until the birth of your child, then you will be moved to another high protection housing in Suna."
Sakura felt her mouth drop open. "What?!" Neji walked into her apartment.
"Get your things. We'll send for the rest of your stuff later." The monotone voice continued. Sakura was slowing getting pissed, and she still needed to pee.
"I can handle myself without moving."
"The Hokage is protective of you."
"So?"
"Get your things, or I'll get them." Neji glanced at her, his face showing that he was not kidding. Sakura pouted and pounded her feet into her room, much like a little girl would when throwing a temper tantrum. She pulled out her duffle bag and threw her few clothes in there, along with her brush and shower things.
"This is ridiculous." She grumbled, walking past Neji to grab her meds. "I have to stay there for how long? 32 more weeks?" She was not a happy camper. She crossed her arms.
Neji just looked at the door and continued to frown.
"Why couldn't I have stayed with Naruto?"
"He's on more missions now that he's back." Neji said flatly.
"Kakashi?"
"Missions."
"Sai."
"Missions with Naruto as well."
"Ino."
"She's not capable of protecting you."
Sakura tried to think of more people she'd be willing to stay with, but as of right now, the Hyuuga Compound was the safest.
"Why did they pick you then?"
This is where Neji looked at her, a little uneasy.
"The Hyuuga clan can protect you enough to stop an Akatsuki attack."
"But, aren't you my bodyguard?"
"Yes."
"But you're an ANBU, and always on missions too…"
Neji's frown deepened.
"I got injured last mission. It's healed but I have to retrain my legs again. Hokage thinks this would be good training. Plus, you'd be there with your medic skills if anything happened again."
Sakura was beat. She had no other option but to live with the Hyuugas. One thing she did not want to do. She wondered if she'd kill herself for the next 32 weeks.
"Fine. Let's go."
Neji nodded and took her bags from her, and then he started off, leaving Sakura to fume and follow behind. The journey leads them to another section of Konoha, mostly surrounded by wooded areas. It was a short walk from the edge of town. That's when they stopped bounding from tree to tree and actually started walking.
Thick, tan walls framed a large gate. Past the gate was a street filled with tiny homes, then at the end stood high fences. Neji pointed and in a bored tone told her that was the main compound, where the main and branch family stayed. The main compound was at least three times bigger then the area with the small homes. It was also very strict feeling.
They passed over a few training grounds and a pretty garden into a small room near one of the smaller training grounds.
"This is connected to my room." Neji said, sliding open the door. The room was large, spacious and held three doors. One to the training ground, one to what she thought was Neji's room, and one, she begged, that lead to the bathroom. There was a small bed on the floor, pushed into the center of the room and against the farthest wall. There was also a dresser and a desk with a black lamp on it.
'Boring' She thought. She'd have to personalize this. "Can I get all my things back from my house?" She asked as he tossed the bag onto the floor next to the dresser.
"You're bedroom things, and whatever else you want. We can keep the rest in storage or you can sell it. For the next five years you'll be taken care of. You won't need most of it."
That idea made her frown. She was going to be watched for at least five years? She sighed and sat on the bed putting her elbows on her knees and her face in her palms. She heard the door behind her slid open then closed as he left the room.
This was horrible.
