Two in a half hours later-
Sarutobi stood outside of the apratment of the one person that many of the jounin wished would disappear off the face of the earth, the big bold redish brown color of the words on the apartment door was an instant attention grabber.
Die Demon.
Bloody hell, the elder was'nt placing them in the hands of a fucking genin was he? "Sir, what are we doing here?" Asuma asked as he looked at his father with an uneasy expression on his face.
Sarutobi glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. Someone must have ended up in the hospital for this shit, because there was no way in hell Uzu would let something like this slide. "Your here to meet your sensei."
Someone muttered a curse under their breath earning a dark look from the elder. "Shut up, you might wake her babies up." Sarutobi hissed as he opened the door and silently slipped in and looked around for the traps that he knew she set up to keep people out.
Everyone in the group frowned. Babies? She had babies?
"Holy shit." Someone said in shock, it apparently had'nt occured to any of them that she could or might have kids that depended on her to care for them. Meaning that they would have to be more careful when targeting her or one of her kids could get hurt.
Sarutobi took care of the traps and motioned for them to come inside. The group slipped inside of the apartment and looked around. The place looked like it should be condemned, there were places missing in the wall paper, holes in the roof, and the floor...
Was covered in deep crimson stains that looked like someone had tried to scrub them clean, with a blanket pulled over them in an effort to hide them. There was broken glass beside one of the chairs in the living room, and a trail of fresh blood that led down the hall to the main bedroom. Sarutobi walked quietly down the hall and motioned for them to follow him.
He pushed the door open to the main bedroom and sighed as he caught sight of the teen laying on the bed on her stomach, sound asleep. Her face buried in the pillow her arms were wrapped around it, her pale blond hair slipping over her shoulders exposing her back and the scars that she had there. Sarutobi put his fingers over his lips and motioned for them to be quiet and walked into the room, missing the way the teen's slender shoulders tensed as they moved into her room.
Sarutobi moved ot stand beside the bed and cautiously moved to wake her when a little black and white kitten head popped up between her neck and shoulder, some of her blond hair slipping over it's little head as it flattened it's little ears back against it's head and glared at the lot of them before making a huffing sound and starting to chew on the soft skin of the girl's shoulder playfully. Sarutobi smiled at the kitten as the girl reached up blindly and carefully disengaged the kittens teeth from her skin causing it to start to chew on her hair and finger tips instead.
"Knock it off Baby, mommy needs to sleep a bit more..." Uzu said in a muffled tone as she shifted in her bed a little bit and then said,
"And you all had better have a fantastic reason for being in my room without permission, I have better things to do than deal with fools. You know that Sarutobi."
The elder chuckled a bit and looked down at her. "Yes, yes I know. But I have a mission for you that I think you might enjoy." The girl jerked her head up and looked at the elder from under a curtain of silky pale blond hair, her violet eyes staring at him blankly.
"What are you talking about?"
"Just as I said, a mission. A once in a life time thing. Come on girl, get up." Sarutobi said cheerfully as the girl bared her teeth and growled at him before glancing at the clock and cursing a blue streak. No wonder Baby was so wound up, she needed to get up and feed her and the other babies.
"Yeah sure fine. Just give me twenty minutes to feed the babies and get dressed." And give them baths and change the bandages on two of them and remedicate them so that they stay healthy. She thought as she got out of bed and picked up the black and white kitten then turned to the Hokage.
"You and the others can wait in the living room until I'm done. Do you plan to stay for breakfast too?"
Sarutobi grinned at the teen, "And miss out on having you cook for us. No way. I've been dying to have pancakes again." The elder said happily as the teen nodded her head.
"Pancakes it is then. If anyone wants something else they can tell me once I'm ready to cook."
The group watched the exchange curiously, the girl had ordered the Hokage to leave her room before coupling the order with a question. And the elder seemed not to be upset by her lack of respect for his status, in fact he seemed happy to listen to her every word. How strange.
This definatly was'nt what any of them had expected when they had come here, the simple exchange explained a lot about the hokage's reason for punishing them all. He not only loved the girl, but he trusted her and respected her as if she were an equal. And judging from what they saw of the girl's behavior she obviously knew this and was trying to live up to the elders expectations while trying to be considerate of his feelings.
How unexpected.
