A/N-Just a little one-shot that I thought up at work tonight. Read and Review.
Summary-In which Seyann is forced to stop Kakashi's power from going to his head.
Timeline-Just after Kakashi refuses to grant Neji and Michelle permission to marry.
Denied
Disclaimer-I don't own the characters of Naruto, I just mess with them.
Kakashi rested his unmasked chin on his hand. He really hadn't wanted to do what he had just done and was feeling the ramifications of such a decision. Mostly guilt. But, as Hokage, he would have to stick to his guns about this decision.
Until an ANBU informed him that his furious wife was on her way to 'talk' to him.
He thought that the term 'talk' was used rather loosely. More like come here and beat him for treating her friend (who had already gone through so much) so callously.
When he heard his wife enter the tower, he pulled a large stack of paperwork that he had to do out from under his desk and began to sort through it, not looking at the door. However, he had just had his door oiled so he had limited (which translated into no) warning when his wife came in.
"Enjoying life as the Hokage?" she asked, her voice deceptively calm. She was like her cousin in that sense-she could look like nothing was bothering her but in reality…
She was pissed.
"Yes Seyann?" Asked Kakashi with a small grimace on his face. Partially from what she would do to him and partially because the document he was looking at was rather complicated.
"Enjoying being so high on power that your head is in the clouds?"
"Sey..." he said in a sigh. "I'm not high on power. As Hokage I made what choice would be best for the village. Can you respect this?" She snorted. "No." He turned back to his paperwork. "Well then it's too bad you're not Hokage."
He could feel her heating up from across the room. "What was that?" she said in a 'I don't care I'm just curious' type voice. "Seyann from now on the subject is closed. Uchiha Michelle and Hyuuga Neji will not be getting married. End of discussion."
Wrong words.
By far, wrong words.
"No cause see…. here's the thing…I can respect the fact that you're Hokage-that's all well and good as long as you're not trampling on the toes of the citizen's rights. Other ANBU have gotten married and you haven't done a thing to impede them."
"The others that have gotten married weren't my best male and female elite ninja."
"Oh and just because they are it's a reason to stop two people who love each other from getting married?"
"It's not just that Seyann…it's complicated. If I agree to allow them to marry I risk upsetting the power balance in Konoha. Am I right or am I wrong…Hinata originally forbade Neji to see Michelle…"
"A ban which she has since lifted which was merely a test of how loyal Neji would be to her."
"I can't go back on my word Seyann."
Seyann sighed and shook her head. "Look. I had really hoped that it wouldn't have to come to this. Either you give up this power trip and let my friends get married…"
He took in a sharp breath. "Seyann….you wouldn't."
"Or I swear I won't."
"…for how long?"
"As long as it takes."
The Hokage bowed his head. If she followed through…he wouldn't be able to live without it.
"Very well. Send them in."
As Seyann accosted her friend and her friend's fiancée outside the Hokage Tower, she informed them that going in now would glean favorable results. Before going in, however, Michelle had to ask. "How did you change his mind?"
Seyann gave her a look. "I have my ways."
"You didn't." said Michelle, disbelief evident in her voice. Seyann nodded. "Yup."
Neji looked back and forth. "…You didn't deny him…that…did you?"
Seyann snorted. "No. I'm not that mean. But being the Hokage is a tense job…I don't know how he'd do it…
Without his nightly back rub." She said, smirking.
A/N-Just a short little cute one-shot between Sey and Kakashi. Review! ducks back into bomb shelter
