A/N- I realized by reading through this story, How young Karasu and Sasuke are… silly me for making them 14 so I'm changing their age to 17 so that Karasu will be 18 by the time she has the baby. I just thought I should tell you all.
Chapter 7- Out on the town
It had been about month and Karasu was finally beginning to show. All Karasu's clothes were made out of material that hugged her skin; so just by looking at her you could tell that she was pregnant. But she was happy to show off her belly.
She and Sasuke had to go into town today. She hadn't really been out much, but the couple thought that it was time to tell people. And besides that Kakashi was finally home after his long mission. So he will finally get to see his daughter, carrying his grandchild. Karasu was very nervous, to see him again. But she knew it had to happen eventually.
She and Sasuke walked up to the Yamanaka Flower shop. Karasu wanted to get some Sunflowers for her father's house. They were his favorite. She also wanted to get some white lilies for her and Sasuke's house. The two sighed together, and hoped that Ino wasn't working. But as soon as the doors opened that hope was crushed, for a girl with a long blonde ponytail stood bent over a vase arranging a bunch of multi-colored carnations.
"Hello Ino…" Sasuke said trying to sound friendly.
"Hi Sasuke-kun." She turned around to face the two. "Who is she?" she asked sounding insulted that he dared to bring another girl into her shop.
"This is my fiancé Karasu Uchiha Hatake." Sasuke replied trying to keep his cool.
Karasu smiled at her. "It's nice to meet you Ino…" She extended her hand to her.
Ino's face was covered in shocked. As the girl extended her hand with a beautiful ring on it to her. She took it only to be polite. "So how long did it take you to knock this chick up…?"
"Excuse me?!" Karasu was supremely insulted.
"Well your parents weren't married before you were born, or you wouldn't hold the two last names. So it would only make sense that you would get pregnant before you were married…" She explained rudely.
Sasuke took hold of Karasu arm to keep her from hitting Ino. "Ino can we just get your flowers…" Sasuke said firmly so that she would hopefully listen.
"What do you need?" She replied turning around and walking to the desk.
Sasuke told her their order. She seemed to take her good sweet time to get and wrap them. But the couple waited patiently for the flowers. And soon enough Ino was done. She rung up the total and Sasuke paid.
The couple walked out of the shop. "Karasu you need to control that anger, I don't want you to get in a situation where you or the baby could get hurt…" Sasuke told her as they walked to their next stop.
"I just can stand it when people make assumptions like that it s just makes me sick…" Karasu lashed. She rubbed her temples to help calm her self down.
Sasuke kissed her forehead. "Common we got to go to the grocer and then we can go home." He reassured her. He took her hand.
But on their way they had to pass the ramen shop, where they heard some one yell. "Hey Sasuke! Karasu!"
This of coarse caused Sasuke and Karasu to look over, to find non-other than that annoying blonde, Naruto running to meet them. "Hello Naruto" Sasuke said to his annoying friend.
When he reached the couple it didn't take him long to notice Karasu's belly. "So Sasuke I see you have been busy… So how long are you along Karasu?"
Karasu just smiled at him, "I'm about three months along…" She answered him.
"Really? Wow it must have happened right after you two found each other…" Naruto added scratching his head.
"Yep really." Karasu showed him her and Sasuke's matching bracelets. "And it was that day actually."
"Hopefully Hinata and I will have those soon…" Naruto said to them. He pulled out a ring case. "We've been together for a while now, but I'm going to ask her to marry me tonight."
"Awe Naruto" Karasu wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm so proud of you… but I have to ask. Can I see it?"
"Sure…"He opened the case. The ring was not as simple as Karasu's, for it was covered in small diamonds. But the main stone was a beautiful square cut amethyst. "That stone matches her eyes perfectly…"
"I bet…it's beautiful" Sasuke said. "Well I hope you get as much success as I did." Karasu held out her hand showing off hers.
"Gees! I've missed a lot. So you two are engaged and pregnant."
"Yep." They replied together. "But we got to finish our shopping, so good luck Naruto…" Karasu added. The couple waved to Naruto as they walked away.
"Bye guys, I better get invited to the wedding!" He yelled to them. That statement made the couple smile.
It didn't take the couple long. They got the necessary things, and hurried back to the Hatake residence, to set up for Karasu's father's return. Karasu had arranged the sunflowers that they had bought, and was now in the kitchen cooking. Sasuke on the other hand was doing a whole lot of worrying and not a lot of helping.
"Sasuke stop worrying…" Karasu as she put a bowl of rice onto the table. "I need to go change, can you set the rest of the table. The Onigiri is on counter and keep an eye on the Tonjiru, it's not done yet, but it's my dads favorite so I don't want it to burn." She walked back into her room leaving Sasuke to do the tasks she had assigned him to do.
Sasuke sighed and stepped away from the window that he was watching for Kakashi out of. He walked to the kitchen and grabbed a set of soup bowls and set them on the correct places on the table. Then he went and grabbed the onigiri and placed it on the table.
Karasu emerged from the room she was in a dress much like her mother's favorite. It was extremely short and the collar draped off her shoulders and the sleeves were long. But instead of the Uchiha crest, for her father the Hatake crest was displayed. As she walked out into the room she caught Sasuke's eye from the kitchen.
As she walked up to a window to look for her father, Sasuke came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, his hands on her stomach. "You look beautiful…"
Before Karasu could reply in any way the door opened and Kakashi walked into his house. Karasu escaped from her fiancé and ran to meet her father. "Welcome home Daddy!" She said rather childishly. Kakashi was a little taken aback and had to look twice at his daughter. She looked so like her mother.
But Kakashi's eyes were sharp and easily noticed the ring that was on his daughter's finger. And as soon as he hugged his daughter he took her hand. "So when did this happen?" He asked her.
"Well actually about a month ago…" Karasu began to explain. "Me and Sasuke have been planning and the arrangements are almost finished. But I had to make sure that my father was home before any thing happened.
"Sasuke you know that my daughter is my world don't you?" Kakashi asked the boy.
Sasuke's eyes grew wide, "Yes sir…" He stated with confidence, even though he was nervous as hell.
"Then why is it that you didn't have the patience to wait for my return, and ask me for my daughters hand…" Kakashi was proud of himself for being able to put the fear of god into this boy's soul.
Sasuke looked at Karasu, who was nervous herself. She knew why, but telling her father why was a different story.
"Well tell me…" Kakashi said sternly.
Sasuke took a deep breath and tried to begin. "Well there were circumstances, that I wanted her to be mine only, and they all happened in the three months that you were gone…" Sasuke looked at Karasu not sure how to finish what he began.
So Karasu finished. "Father I'm pregnant…" she saw the anger in her father rising so she stepped in between Sasuke and him. She placed her hands on his arms. "But that's not the only reason. Itachi was back in the village and Sasuke wanted to make sure that I was safe…" She felt it was ok to let go of him. "He loves me just like you loved mom…You two had sex before you were married and she was in an arranged marriage…It's the same story…"
Kakashi looked down at the floor. He understood where she was coming from. But he just didn't know how to deal with it. He didn't know what to say.
"Common Dad I made Tonjiru. Its your favorite…" Karasu said.
The three sat down at the table. And ate the dinner that Karasu had prepared. It was mostly silent. No one seemed to know what to say. But Karasu didn't like it so she tried to start a conversation.
"So Dad how did the mission turn out?" Karasu asked him as she nibbled on a piece of onigiri.
Kakashi shrugged. "It wasn't any thing special…" He sounded depressed.
Karasu hit her hands on the table. "Dad you need to get over it…I'm going to have a baby and your going to be a grand father… There is nothing you can do about it!" she stood up from the table and stormed into her room.
Sasuke stood up. "Excuse me sir." Sasuke said
"No Sasuke It's my fault you stay here…" Kakashi said as he stood up. He walked back to Karasu's room. "Karasu can I come in…" He said after knocking lightly on the door.
"Why?" the girl called to her father.
Kakashi opened the door slowly. "Because I wanted to apologize." He walked over to his daughter who was face down in a pillow on her bed. He placed his hand on her back. "I'm sorry, for the way I asked I don't know what came over me. It's just hearing that my daughter was pregnant was a big shocker. I really didn't know what to do…"
"I'm sorry too daddy…" She sat up let herself against her father. Kakashi wrapped his arms around his daughter and placed a kiss on the top of her head.
