"Yosh, my name is Lee. It's a pleasure to meet Hatake-san and his pretty wife!" Lee said in his usual excited manner even though he found it slightly odd that the silver haired jounin had taken a wife that was so young. Neji and Tenten must have thought it was odd too since there were laws against this sort of thing to protect underage kids from being taken advantage of by perverts.
Was Kakashi-san a pervert? Lee wondered as Tenten introduced herself with a forced smile that looked a little strained to him. Neji said nothing, he just looked the small blond over before activating his Byakugan and checking her out. It was only a split second but that quick second of studying the girl was very informitve to the Hyuuga. Gai looked even more nervous as Neji bowed to the couple and then asked if he and the other two could go get something to drink. Gai nodded and watched the three leave the room before giving Kakashi a strained smile and sitting down in the chair across from the bed.
"I thought that since the two of you were...expecting, I would offer my team to help keep an eye on..." Crap what was her name? Uzu thinned her lips to keep from snickering at the poor man for acting so strange since it was her fault.
Neji, Lee and Tenten all stood crowded around a soda machine looking over the choices in drinks. "What did you learn, Neji?" Tenten asked curiously. Neji glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
"Her chakra is strange, most of it is centered around her lower abdomen, like it was being gathered there to protect something." Neji said as he made his choice and put his coins in the machine and then pressed the button and stood back. Tenten thought over his words for a second before her face turned red and she shrieked.
"A baby! Could she be expecting? I bet she is. When did Gai-sensei say Kakashi-san married her?" Both boys cringed, did she have to be so loud.
"Gai-sensei didn't say." Is that maybe why Kakashi-san had married such a young girl? Lee wondered as he took a drink of his soda.
"Hmm, then I wonder what the real story is." Tenten said as she took her drink from Neji's out streatched hand and opened it.
"Whatever it is, Gai-sensei is very worried about that girl." So much so that he was willing to involve them in whatever was happening. How annoying.
Lee looked thoughtful, Neji was right. Gai was worried about the blond, and he was dragging them into things. He was also very nervous in the girl's presence. Just who the hell was she to make him so jummpy?
"That is a very kind offer, Gai-" Kakashi started to say.
"Yes very kind, but no-" Uzu said as she narrowed her eyes at the man. Gai looked some what startled by her answer. So did Kakashi. The door opened a few seconds later and the three kids walked back in and quietly closed the door. Gai was staring at the floor frowning. Kakashi looked at his mate and cringed, she didn't look happy about Gai's kind offer. Uzu sighed and took several calming breaths before sliding off of the bed and walking over to the man and hugging him.
"It's sweet of you, really it is. But it's also very dangerous for the kids. Keep trying, and we'll find something that works." She whispered kindly before letting him go. Kakashi raised a brow at her. What was that about? Kakashi wondered as she returned ot his side and sat back down.
"When are you getting out?" Gai asked. Kakashi smiled. Uzu sighed and looked away.
"I'm already a free man, I'm just waiting on her paper work." Kakashi said. Uzu paled a little and gave a nervous laugh. She would probably have to break someone's arm to get her papers. Chances were good that the hospital staff had been told not to let her leave the hospital until the baby had been aborted. The sorry fuckers.
Gai looked at her as she got to her feet and slowly inched towards the door. "I'll go see what's taking the nurses, you guys go ahead and visit while I'm gone." She said as she quickly darted out the door before Kakashi could say anything about joining her. Neji glanced at Lee and motioned for him to follow him, leaveing Tenten to make up a story for them just in case. They followed the blond down the hallway to the chief of staff's office and watched her walk inside.
What was she doing here? Both boys wondered as they moved in closer to spy on her.
Uzu stood in front of the large wooden desk with an angry look on her pretty face as the man behind the desk looked up at her and sneered. "What's trash like you doing here?"
"I want my release forms." She said. The man actually had the gall to leer at her before smirking.
"Has that abomination been torn from your womb?"
"You know damn well I have'nt had my baby killed, and I never will. Now give me the papers." Uzu hissed in a dangerously low tone.
"No. The council's orders are absolute. You will stay here, and you will have that thing removed from your body even if we have to kill you to do it. The council had decreed that you must not breed under any circumstances."
"It really is'nt their choice." Uzu said as she reached out and picked up a letter opener from the desk and held it up in the light to admire the artisic work on the handle.
"It really is'nt your choice. Now be a good monster and go get the pecidure done." The man said dismissively as he reached out to pick up something when he saw a flash of silver out of the corner of his eye mere seconds before he looked down at his bleeding hand and paled, two of his fingers had just been cut off.
"My papers, give them to me or I start hacking away at you until there is nothing left." Uzu said sweetly as she held up the bloody blade and smirked at him. He was stunned speechless.
