How did this happen? Sai wondered as he stared at the chaotic scene before him, his eye twitching. Oh yes, now he remembered. It had all started with him, Gai had stopped by the apartment a little while after Sai had put Uzu to bed.
He had been reading up on babies, and the things that needed to be done to keep the mother, and child healthy. It was said that caffeeen was bad for the baby, but the mother might crave it. That when morning sickness hit, the mother would be too sick to eat properly, and that one of the few ways to get the mother's stomach to settle down so that they could eat was saltines, and ginger ail. Needless to say he had already gotten rid of everything in the fridge that could be considered unhealthy for Uzu in her current state and had gone to the store, to get healthy foods, drinks, and treats for Uzu too keep her happy.
He had gotten as far as the pictures of the birthing process, before wretching. He was insanely happy that a baby could'nt do that to him. He mused as he wiped his mouth on a towel and thought that maybe he should wash it, or it make Uzu sick. He was half way down the hall when he hear some one knocking on the door. Who the hell? He wondered as he went into Anbu mode.
He had been given an order by Sakura, and he would not fail. He didn't want to die by pummling. He wanted to live long enough to help Uzu in her time of need. And be named the baby's uncle or something. Okay so he had another motive for doing what he was doing, but it was'nt like he was planning to become Uzu's husband or anything although he had read somewhere that married people considered their spouses to be their best friends. It had been an intrigeing idea. But now was'nt the time or place.
Walking over to the door he opened it and had to fight down the urge to flatten the man in the green spandex. "May I help you?" Sai asked as he put his short sword away. Gai stood there beaming at Sai.
"I brought this over to congradulate Uzu on being a mommy!" The man practically yelled as Sai looked at the wine he was holding, and once again felt the urge to flatten the man, only this time he would bury him in the back yard. How dare he bring wine to celebrate a pregnacy! Was he insane? He wanted a healthy baby, not an alcaholic one!
"Leave before I kill you." Sai said with his usual smile. Gai looked at the young man, and paled a bit. He was joking right? He would'nt really kill him would he?
Sai started to close the door when Gai put his hand on it and held it open, and grinned at Sai. Now he understood, Sai was just testing him. What he had actually said was, "Thank you for the gift, do come in."
Sai leaned his whole body against the door in a vain effort to keep the man out, and started to panic as he pushed the door open. Uzu needed rest right now! She would wake up if Gai came in! He thought as he looked around for something, anything that he could use to bash the man over the head with, and had to stop when he heard voices joining Gai.
He groaned and hid his face in his hands as he kept trying to push the man out. "What did you say? Sai had invited you in! Yosh, then we will accompany you Gai-sensei!" Lee said as he added his weight to the oppisit side of the door and nearly sent Sai flying when the door opened completely and he and Gai bounced inside like a couple of hyper active puppies and started to rummage through the fridge and cabinits.
Goddamn it. Sai thought in horror as the banged and clanged everything they could get their hands on. Neji, Shikamaru, Tenten, and Choji stood outside watching the two ran sack the place. "Sorry Sai. We were coming to check up on Uzu when...." Sai groaned again as Gai downed half the bottle and poured some for Lee who was a total light weight and could'nt hold his liqour for shit. After downing his cup of the wine he started to laugh loudly, almost shrilly and started staggering around before he fell flat on his face.
The sound of his body hitting the floor was so loud that Sai actually jumped a bit, as he gaped at the terrors ruining his hard work. Sakura was going to kill him!
"We need to get them out of here." Neji said and nearly jumped out of his skin when both men screamed "Slumber party! Yahoo!" and started jumping around wildly slamming into things, breaking things, and such.
"I'm going to murder them." Sai said as his eye started to twitch and he stood up, wrapping his fingers around the grip of his sword. Yes, killing them was good. Kill them before they disturb Uzu, and the baby. Kill them and rid the world of their stupidity.
The others all paled and watched as Sai cackled evilly and started to charge the two drunks, yelling "I will eat your heads!"
Neji and Shikamaru both stopped him by tackling him to the ground as Choji, and Tenten dragged the drunk men out of the apartment before the other two joined them. They could check on Uzu later. Uzu stood in the hallway watching the scene, and sighed. Maybe she should move someplace nice and quiet, far away from the crazies.
Sauna was nice this time of year. Maybe she could move there.
Kakashi awoke on the floor of a hospital room, alone. A low growl excaping his throat. His female had eluded him. He would hunt her down as soon as the world stopped spinning.
