Chapter 8

Consequences

Kyoko was silent for a long time. She clutched her stomach and finally spoke after what seemed like hours to Mikio.

"I'm pregnant" Kyoko's voice was almost a whisper.

"What!" Mikio shouted. "Did he-did he rap-"

"No" Kyoko cut him off sharply.

Mikio suddenly felt terrible for suggesting such a thing.

"I'm sorry"

Kyoko didn't respond, just nodded.

"You weren't hurt were you?"

Kyoko shook her head.

"But you've been in the hospital for so long. They said you weren't eating or drinking anything. Why?"

Kyoko didn't respond to that either, she just stared out the window like she always did.

"You look tired Kyoko, why don't you sleep for a bit"

"Ok" She laid her head down next to Mikio and fell asleep.

The Hokage walked in the room just at that moment.

"So?" She said. "Did you manage to find out what happened?"

"She's pregnant" Mikio said. "But she said that he didn't rape her"

"Didn't rape her? That idiot, what does she call rape then?"

"Huh?" Mikio said confused.

"She was definitely raped. The state I found her in; she was in a state of shock"

"But then why did she…" Mikio was lost in thought. Why did she say it wasn't rape? Had Kyoko forgiven Sasuke for getting her pregnant?

"Who knows" The Hokage shrugged.

Over the next few days Kyoko seemed to improve greatly. She got back into regular eating and sleeping habits and was even discharged from the hospital after a week, once they were sure she wasn't going to convert back to her old ways.
