Chapter 6- A Big Day
Chapter 6- A Big Day
It was early morning and Karasu had walked up to the Hokage's. She felt the need to talk to a woman but also a medical ninja too. And the Hokage seemed to be the best fit.
She walked up the many flights of stairs and finally reached the big double doors that led to the Hokage's office. Karasu lifted her hand and knocked rather lightly for her, on the door. She was scared, but so would any girl in her position. But a few seconds later a friendly woman's voice called for her to come in.
Karasu opened the door and stepped in. "Hello, Karasu..." Tsunade said quite calmly. "How are you feeling?" She asked.
Even since Karasu's mother was murdered, there were many women that took the role of her mother at different times. But ever since Tsunade was back, Karasu had never gotten as close to any of them then she was with her. "I'm dong ok, well except for the thing that I talked to you earlier about..." Karasu answered.
Tsunade sighed and nodded. "Ok...I know that this will probably seem very awkward for you but I'm going to have to ask you a few things...And if you don't feel comfortable answering any thing just tell me..." Tsunade seemed very down to earth about it all, not wanting to put any pressure on Karasu.
Karasu nodded. "Ok...first question, When was the last time that you had sex?" Tsunade asked, all the time staying very calm.
Karasu sighed, "About 3 weeks ago..." You could tell that she was scared to answer.
"Now this wasn't the first time with this person right?"
Karasu was looking at the floor. "No..."
"Could you tell me when that was?"
"Well about 2 months ago..."
"Have you noticed any thing different since then?"
"Yeah especially the last time..."
"When was your last period?"
"Umm...About 2 months ago..."
"Have you been having any nausea?"
"A little in the mornings but not much..."
"Ok last thing...I need you to lay down here, and pull your shirt up to your breasts..." Karasu did as she was told. Tsunade placed her warm hand on Karasu's lower abdomen. When she was done she lowered Karasu's shirt and stood up strait. "Sometimes a woman's body goes into a bit of a shock when she has sex, and she doesn't have her period for about 3 or 4 weeks...Even if she isn't pregnant...but this isn't one of those cases...I'm sorry Karasu but your pregnant..."
Karasu's eyes grew wide, and she grabbed her stomach. She had a feeling that that's what all this was when it started happening but hearing it seemed to make it worse. Her eyes welled up with tears, and they began to flow down her cheeks.
Tsunade sat down next to her and held her to her. She had more questions to ask but she wanted to wait till she had settled down a little.
About 10 minuets later, things had settled down a little bit. Tsunade had made some tea and Karasu's face was almost back to normal color. Tsunade had also gotten Karasu a few things that she would need right now. But first she needed to ask her last questions.
"So Karasu I now you're still a little sensitive, but I have to know. Who's the lucky guy?" Tsunade asked like a silly little girl, but being serious at the same time.
Karasu just smiled and answered. "Sasuke Uchiha..." The thought never crossed her mind that it could be any one else's.
"Oh that's not good...That child's gonna bring you hell..." Tsunade stated, as if Karasu didn't already know. "You've got the other girls, Sakura and Ino, boy that's sounds like fun. Not to mention that the baby will be the only Uchiha born since the massacre...You've got weight on your shoulders."
Karasu nodded. "Thanks for making me feel better..." She half joked. "But honestly Hokage...It's my father that I am the most worried about."
"Oh because of your marriage right..." Tsunade said rather bluntly.
Karasu looked at her with shock and confusion. "How...how..."
"I'm sorry Karasu..." She got up and pulled a book from the shelf. "Its in the records...But the name was scratched out so it just says 'Karasu Uchiha Hatake arranged to be married to' the name is gone. But that not needed to deal with any more lets look at the situation at hand... There are many things that need to happen."
Tsunade pulled out a bag of stuff from under the table. She pulled out a bracelet that had baby blue and pink stoned encrusted in it. "Our village requires all expecting to ware one of these" She slipped it on the Karasu's wrist and shrunk it so that she could not get it off. "And sadly Sasuke has to ware one too, so your gonna have to tell him today."
Karasu sighed, "Well that sucks...But I guess its better sooner than later..."She took the last sip of her tea and stood up. "Well it had been lovely Ms. Hokage, thank you so much for you help to day..."
Tsunade stood up, handing her the bag that she pulled from the table. "You be careful ok...Somebody is depending on you..." she opened the door to the outside.
Karasu ran to Sasuke's house, it didn't take her that long. But that's where she had been staying recently, since her father was away. She walked in like it was her house. "Sasuke...you home?" she yelled into the dark house. She walked in setting the bag of stuff next to her shoes. But she rummaged threw it a little to find Sasuke's bracelet, when she did she walked into the kitchen.
She flipped on a light, and sat at the table she looked at her hand. She took off the silver band that she was wearing to reveal the black ring that Itachi had put on her. It hadn't faded at all, and Karasu was beginning to think that it never would. She slipped the silver ring back on.
The door suddenly opened. "Karasu...you home?" A male voice yelled into the house.
"Yes I'm here..." She said smiling. She stood up from the chair and met him in the living room. "Hey..." She kissed him. "How was your day..." She asked him.
"It was great...but I hope it will get better..." Sasuke said. Karasu looked at him questioning. "Come here...I want to show you something..." He opened a sliding door to a balcony that Karasu didn't even know was there. He pulled her out there and she saw the view. It was the view that her mother had described to her in the story of how her and her father met. A perfect view of the Hokage Mountain.
"Karasu...I love you, and I have ever since I could remember. And even thought you are supposed to marry my brother I want to stop that..." Sasuke knelt on one knee and pulled a platinum ring with a stunning diamond on the middle of two rubies that were perfect Uchiha red. (A/N- you know how I love pictures, so look on my profile for a link)
Karasu was stunned she didn't expect this to happen. "Yes. Yes. Yes!" She said. Sasuke slipped off the silver band that she had on her ring finger and slipped her new engagement ring on it, he didn't seem to pay any mind to the black ring that was there.
"Sasuke there is something that I want to give to you too" Karasu pulled the bracelet from her pocket, and slid it on his wrist and adjusted it to it. Sasuke was a little confused at first but you could tell when he realized what this was for. His face lit up and with wide eyes he looked at Karasu. "You're going to be a father..." Her face was scarlet, and her eyes were welling up from all of this.
Sasuke seemed to be happier than Karasu. Maybe it was the eight years that he felt that the Uchiha clan would be lost when he died, was now not going to be true. Or maybe it was that the first new Uchiha would be his. But what ever it was, for the first time in a long time Sasuke let tears flow down his cheeks, as he held his fiancé in his arms.
