A/N-A one-shot that Seyann came up with…although why she would want to use…and even came up with…. a concept like this I will never know…but meh what do I know I'm just the lowly writer? Anyways, read and review!
Summary-When Sienna gains odd birthmarks on her cheeks, shortly after her birth, Kakashi gets suspicious of something that he prays isn't true.
Whiskers
Disclaimer-I own Sienna, can't own Seyann cuz she's a real person, I just characterized her and I don't own Naruto.
It started with a mysterious scratch that had manifested itself on Sienna's face several days after she was born. Neither Seyann nor Kakashi thought much of it because of their little girl's tenancy to rub her fist into her cheek while she slept. However when another appeared days later, Seyann had turned to Mika for help. Keiko had been born several weeks before Sienna and as such Seyann went to her old friend for most of her parenting requirements. "Ok…I know it's a little unorthodox but find the smallest pair of mitts you can and put them on Sienna while she's asleep. Either that or the smallest bandages. That should stop those scratches." Advised the Kazekage's wife.
So Seyann did as she said and went home, putting a small bandage on each of her daughter's fingers. As soon as she did this, Kakashi insisted that she lie down and have a nap, Sienna having kept her awake at all hours.
It was during his wife's down time, while he was cooing (yes, Kakashi was cooing) over his daughter that he saw it. Another scratch came. It wasn't his daughter who caused it, it wasn't him, it certainly didn't seem to be causing her any pain and when he felt it, it almost felt like a scar-one that had been there for a while. When he examined this scar in comparison to the others that had already appeared, he could see a distinctive pattern appearing.
Almost like whiskers on a cat. Neither he nor Seyann had those markings. How did his daughter get them?
The only other time he had ever seen markings like these were on Naruto…
No.
There's no way what his thought could be true.
Seyann would never do that to him…
Would she?
But then…how on earth did his daughter have whiskers…like Naruto's…
He could only pray that in the next hour before his wife awoke he could come up with a way to broach this subject…delicately.
Seyann stretched in her bed and lolled her head, looking over to the wall where sat a photograph of Kakashi and herself on their wedding day…after the cutting of the cake…it looked so cute, she still had a hand on his face, smearing the chocolate cake into his face-one of the rare days that he wasn't wearing his mask.
She loved him so much.
However, when she came downstairs after putting something half decent on, she found her husband, staring at their sleeping daughter intently, a worried look on his face. Walking up behind him, she put her arms around his neck in a backwards hug, asking "What's wrong?" She felt him swallow before asking the question "Does…Sienna look like me?"
There was a nervous quality in his voice that she had never heard before. She let go of him and walked around in front of him, picking up the child in question as she went. "What do you mean?" "I mean…to you, do I look like Sienna's father."
She avoided his question for now, not wanting to think about what he was implying, by saying "I'm going to go put Sienna in her crib. I'll be right back down."
When she got down, she finally confronted Kakashi. "I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that question Kakashi."
"No Seyann. Am I her father?" Provoked and enraged by this point, Seyann turned on him and growled out "What. Are. You. Saying. Hatake?"
"I'm saying that neither of us have the markings that she has." This caused Seyann to wrinkle her forehead and ask "Markings?" "The scratches on her cheeks. I was watching her this afternoon and I noticed…they aren't scratches. They're birthmarks like Naruto's. They're just a little late in coming. But neither of us have that marking so…" He let his voice trail off, leaving the unanswered question hanging in the air.
Seyann's mouth dropped open at what her husband was insinuating. Walking up to him so that she was in his face. "You can't be serious. You are accusing me of cheating? Who was the one who almost destroyed our relationship at the very beginning with some loose behavior on the beach?" He flinched at her reference to the Beach Incident but said nothing, instead wisely allowing his wife to continue almost regretting having this suspicioun.
"Of course she looks like your daughter Kakashi, you idiot! I can't even believe you would think something like that! She may have my bloodline trait with the whole eye color-changing thing but she also has your face shape. Her hair is lightening…has lightened…to the point where it almost looks silver. HOW CAN YOU THINK THAT SHE'S ANYONE BUT YOURS?" She said in a loud but still moderately controlled voice.
"The whiskers. Seyann, can you blame me? Neither of us have that birthmark trait."
Seyann took a deep breath. Partially to calm herself down and partially to gather chakra. Performing an alteration on the Silencing Jutsu, she quickly soundproofed the room before she exploded so the baby wouldn't be disturbed.
"I HAVE CELINA IN ME YOU IDIOT! JUST BECAUSE THE WHISKERS DIDN'T MANEFEST THEMSELVES ON ME WHEN SHE WAS UNSEALED DIDN'T MEAN THEY WOULDN'T COME THROUGH ON OUR CHILDREN! ODDS ARE WHAT HAPPENED WITH SHUKAKU HAPPENED WITH HER! THERE'S A FRAGMENT OF CELINA'S POWER IN HER FOR PROTECTION! DID YOU EVEN STOP TO CONSIDER HOW ALIKE FOXES AND CATS ARE?"
Seyann sighed as she got that out of her system, removing the Soundproofing Jutsu as she did. Kakashi was still sitting in his position on the floor, a rather shocked expression on his face.
"No…I didn't think about that…" he muttered.
"I didn't think so." She said, still trying to regain her breath. Suddenly she smiled. "Not that I blame you…in my old world something like that would land the three of us on one of those trashy talk shows where all everyone ever does is cuss at each other." She went over to him and sat down in front of him, looking directly into his eyes.
"I'm sorry for not having more faith in you Sey." He said softly. "I just… I'm scared. I don't want to lose you and the thought that you might've been cheating on me terrified me."
Seyann leaned forward and gave her husband a peck on the mouth, pulling away when she heard her daughter begin to cry.
"It's okay…I'm sorry for losing my temper as I did…" "I don't blame you." Said Kakashi quickly before allowing her to continue.
"However…" she shot him a death glare.
"I never want to have this conversation again."
"Yes honey."
A/N-What do you think. For the life of me I will never understand why Seyann came up with this idea but…I am a slave to the ideas! Read and Review.
