Chapter Two: In Which Neji Returns Home From His Mission
I DON'T OWN NARUTO!!
The other elders left the room and closed the door behind them. "Bankai-sama you have acted in a way most unbecoming of an elder of the Hyuuga Clan. Now I will explain to you why the juin is to no longer be used on other members of this clan. The juin is only to be used as an execution method for Clan traitors. That is all the juin is allowed to be placed on another Hyuuga for. I dare you to attempt to seal a member of the Hyuuga Clan with the juin. I really do. Because when he or she comes to me and shows me the mark I'll personally apply it and carry out your punishment myself. I don't like being undermined and disrespected by anyone. Much less you elders. Now I am as much the clan leader as Neji-sama is. I will be treated with the same respect you treat my husband with or you won't last long as an elder." Sakura said. Konohamaru stood behind her ready for anything.
Bankai flushed red with anger. "You are an outsider that the leader of the clan brought in as his wife little girl! So do not presume to instruct me on the usage of clan marks." He said angrily. Sakura sighed. "I don't care what you have to say about me being an outsider but you will not use the juin on another member of the Hyuuga Clan unless instructed by Neji-sama or myself. Is that understood? I may be an outsider but as long as I am Neji-sama's wife, in this family, and alive you will do as I say as if I were speaking directly on Neji-sama's orders." Sakura went on calmly as she rubbed her stomach. The baby was getting restless again.
Bankai smacked Sakura across the face so hard that she stumbled into the podium and the sharp edge grazed her stomach. Konohamaru gasped. "Sakura-sama!" He rushed to her side. "I'm fine Konohamaru." Sakura said as she got her balance back. A dark red mark started showing on her pale skin and Sakura healed the small cut on her stomach. "Don't you ever raise your hand to Lady Sakura in my presence again! She is still the Clan Leader and that alone is cause enough for death!" He said angrily. The Sandaime's grandson trembled with rage at the actions of the elder. "It's alright Konohamaru. I've said what I wanted to say. We're leaving and I'm going to go lie down. Or I might go see Tsunade-dono to see how my child is coming along." Sakura said calmly.
"We're not finished here yet!" Bankai said angrily. "Yes. I do believe you are. You have nothing more to say to my wife Bankai. And if I ever see you or hear of you putting your hands on my pregnant wife again, I'll kill you myself. Now get out of my sight." Hyuuga Neji ground out through gritted teeth. Sakura smiled slightly and attempted to bow. "Welcome home Neji-sama." She said politely. Neji smiled at his wife's attempts to carry out Hyuuga etiquette with a big belly. "Thank you Sakura-sama." He replied bowing fully. Konohamaru bowed shallowly. "Greetings Lord Neji." He said. "Hello Konohamaru. Please escort my wife to Tsunade-sama's office." Neji said. "Hai Neji-sama." Konohamaru replied. He picked the pregnant woman up and left as fast as Neji had appeared. "Now Bankai. If you have a problem with my rules, don't take it out on my wife. She's not a toy and she's not anyone to disrespect. I'll just have to tell you all why you shouldn't trifle with my wife. Hm…yes. I'll call a meeting when she returns." Neji said half to himself and half to the Elder. Bankai nodded and bowed. "I apologize my lord. I lost myself for a moment there." He said. "Out of my sight. I'll see you at the meeting. And I had better see you in the first row of the chairs or else." Neji said. "Hai Neji-sama." Bankai left the room.
