Ch. 10-Hurtful Anger

Ayuki's POV

We were at the hospital. I knocked on the door.

"Come in!" I heard Sakura yell.

I opened the door and said, "You don't have to yell." Smirking. Sakura just looked at me with playful sea green eyes. Her pink hair pulled up in a bun.

Tetsuya and the kids were sitting on the bed and whenever I walked in, the kids looked up, and smiled from ear to ear. "Ayuki!" They all yelled, jumping off the bed and tackling me. We all fell to the floor. They started tickling me.

"That's not fair! You guys know I'm very ticklish!" I said, through fits full of laughter.

"We know, But it's fun!" said Alura, in her sweet musical voice. Her bright green eyes being very playful.

"All right kids. That's enough. Ayuki needs to catch her breath before she explodes!" said Tetsuya, her eyes sparkling.

"Ah man! But we were having fun!" they said, getting off me.

"I know you were, but Ayuki is just like you. She needs oxygen to breath and that's very hard to do when you have four kids on you tickling you to death." She said, earnestly, but with a grin.

I just nodded my thanks and laid there on the floor, trying to catch my breath. Shika held out his hand to help me up. I took it and stood up.

"Thanks Shika." I said, tossing his blonde-brunette hair.

"Hey! Don't do that! You know I don't like that!" he said, pushing my hand away and trying to fix his hair.

"Well you know I don't like being tickled, so we're even." I said, sticking my tongue out. 'I hang around these kids to much! I'm starting to act like a kid again!' I thought.

Shika just stuck his tongue out at me and went to sit on the bed again.

Tezuya came around the corner, snickering.

"Thanks for the help!" I said, sarcastically and hitting him with the back of my hand on his stomach.

"Your welcome! It looked like you had it under control." He said, grunting, and almost laughing now.

I heard Tetsuya and Sakura gasp. I looked at them in confusion, then realized they were gasping at the site of my father. Tetsuya got up and came and stood in front of us. She reached out a finger and touched him on the cheek, then she recoiled as if he had shocked her.

"Hey Tetsuya. Long time no see." He said, nervously. Then he turned to face Sakura and so did I. She was standing up with her eyes narrowed at me.

"I didn't do anything! This is really him!" I said, holding up my hands.

She didn't move a muscle except her eyes. She was now looking at Tezuya. Studying him. Then as if someone flipped a light switch on, her eyes became as round as the moon and her smile stretched a mile wide! Then she ran and hugged him. I moved out of the way, just as her arms were above my head.

She squealed and said, "Where have you been?"

He smiled and hugged her back. "Places."

Then he set her down and turned back to Tetsuya. Tetsuya was still wide eyed, but she was smiling. Then she hugged him, laughing. He hugged her back.

"Glad to see you again!" Tetsuya said.

"Glad to be back! I have missed you so much!" he said. Then he set her on the ground and just looked at her eyes with compassion and love.

I saw Tetsuya blush and lower her head. I grinned and went to the bed. The kids were working on a puzzle. I put two pieces together. Then I turned back to Tezuya and Tetsuya. "So why are you and kids still here?"

"Huh?" Tetsuya said, shaking her head. "Oh. Because Lady Tsunade wanted to see us after she got done with one of her other patients."

"But can't Sakura take care of you guys?" I asked, confused.

"I don't know. Lady Tsunade said she wanted to do it."

Tezuya put his arms around her waist. I could see the love in both in their eyes. We waited there for a few minutes with the kids still on the bed working on the puzzle, Sakura was sitting in the chair again, Tezuya and Tetsuya were sitting on the floor, talking, and I was standing in front of the window. Then Lady Tsunade walked in. She looked up from what she was doing and stared at Tezuya. Then she looked at me.

"I know. It's still a shock to me." I said, smiling.

She shook her head and went over to the kids. They smiled at her. She checked them out, then moved to Tetsuya. After she got done with Tetsuya she gave me a stern look then walked out of the room.

"You guys can leave if you want. I need to talk to Tsunade." I said, smiling a weak smile.

They all nodded. I left the room and went straight to Lady Tsunade's office which was a floor up. I didn't even have to knock. I went right in and shut the door and went and stood in the middle of the room. Tsunade was sitting at her desk with her fingers interlaced.

"When were you going to tell me that he was back?" she said, trying not to yell.

I just said in a calm voice, "I just found out today that he was back." Then I launched into the story of what happened at my house and everything that was said.

Lady Tsunade sat there for a few minutes then sighed. "I see. Well it is your call. If you want him to stay then that's perfectly fine but know this. If he does one thing out of line I will personally hurt him myself." She said, through clenched teeth and her eyes looked like they were on fire.

I remained calm and said, "No one will hurt him. If he does anything wrong I will deal with myself. Got it?" My eyes burning with the same fire.

She just nodded and with that I left to go and find the gang.


OOHHHH! Sound like someone doesn't like Tezuya... And yes I know that Tetzuya and Tezuya sound alike but I think it suits them... On with the next chapter! ^_^
