Kakashi had been born with a fatal flaw.
He strongly disliked anyone who could threaten, intimidate, bully and strike a woman. His dislike of these things had gotten stronger once he had been put in the system because he could remember a few of the little girls that he had made friends with before being placed in foster homes.
He could recall the way that some of the older kids had knocked them around, and recalled how they had dragged others into closets and empty rooms and did terrible things to them just because they could. Hell he could even recall one of the little girls he had lived with in foster care and how their 'father' had taken nude pictures of her and shown them to his friends then invited some over to try her out.
She had been ten, and a pretty little thing with dark hair and eyes. He recalled her name, her face, even the way that she had always smiled when she had seen him.
And he was haunted by the memory of walking by their foster father's bedroom one day after school and stopping at the door when he had heard a strange noise and peeked through the crack and just froze. Everything in him had just froze.
His heart, his lungs, his mind. What he had seen was just so frightening and terrifying that he hadn't been able to move. He hadn't been able to look away from her tear streaked face as one of their foster father's friends slid himself between her legs. He didn't recall much more of that day other than the bile that had rose up in his throat, and slapping his hands over his mouth in a vain effort to keep from puking.
Not that it mattered much since he hadn't been able to stop himself.
He had puked right there in the door way to his foster father's room, and that was how he had gotten caught. He had been on his knees on the floor when the door had been yanked open and his foster father's friend had grabbed him and jerked him into the bedroom to 'play' with him and the girl.

Kakashi closed his eyes and pushed back the memories, but still his stomach rebelled and lurched dangerously, causing him to jump up from the couch and quickly run from the room just as their dad came out of the kitchen drying his hands on a dish towel. "Kashi you okay?" Minato asked him as he ran past him, his face pale and one hand tightly clasped over his mouth.
Kakashi wished that he wasn't about to be sick again. That he could answer and tell his dad that he was fine but he tripped and fell to the floor right in front of the sink and wretched on the off white tile and was only vaguely aware that there was a pair of small feet right in his way.
He coughed a few times and shuddered as Minato came back into the room and sat there feeling ill as he looked up and blinked at his new sister and realised that he had just puked on her feet. "Kakashi! Are you okay?" Minato asked again as he crossed the room and dropped down next to the teen and put his hand on his forehead to check for fever. Kakashi pushed at his hand and tried to look at Uzu, he wanted to apologize to her for fucking up her feet, but his stomach lurched again and he found himself puking again and moaning in distress.
God what the hell was wrong with him? He wondered as Minato pulled him back against his chest and looked up at Uzu and seemed surprised to find her standing there. "Uzu? What are you-" Uzu thinned her lips and looked down at her feet, covered in stomach acid and chewed up food and Minato cringed.
Crap. Of course Kakashi had thrown up on her, what other reason would she just stand there for?
"Is he going to be okay?" Uzu asked as she stared down at the teen that her father was holding against his chest and rocking a little.
"I think so, but he may need to lay down for a bit... Uh, look under the sink and see if you can find some bowls to use as shoes so that you can go outside and hose off your feet." Minato said as soon as his brain started working again.
Uzu leaned over a little bit and opened the cabinet next to her and dug around for a second and found two cake mixing bowls and dropped them onto the floor and stepped into them and wrinkled her nose a little bit.
This had to be the most bizarre thing to ever happen to her in the morning. "Okay. Now what?"
"Okay, now I need you to shuffle your way to the back door behind you-" He pointed, and she turned herself around and shuffled over to the back door and then looked back at him. "Okay there is a garden hose outside the door and to your right. Use it to hose yourself off and then come back in okay."
She gave him a thumbs up and opened the door and started to slip out when she thought that she heard a hoarse voice rasp a soft, "Sorry." From somewhere behind her and turned her head to look back at her dad and was that Kakashi was looking at her, his face pale, his expression pained.
She gave him a small smile to let him know that she wasn't mad or anything and slipped out the door to hose off her feet.

Minato left for work thirty minutes late, because he had to clean up the mess in the kitchen and make sure that Kakashi was laying down so that he could rest. And once he had assured himself that Kakashi was not only laying down but had gone to sleep in his room, Minato put Genma in charge and said good bye to the others and left the house.
Kakashi's awareness flickered and faded in and out for a little while then flared back to life when he heard Kankuro say, "Alright kiddies, outside. It's grown up time-"
Kakashi's eyes snapped open and he sat up as Kankuro started to argue with Genma. That son of a bitch was going to try something! Anger churned in his gut as he heard Genma yelp as he was smacked, followed by the slamming of the front door.
"Uh, shouldn't I go outside too?" Uzu's voice reached him as he rolled out of bed and quickly made his way across the room and out into the hall and slammed the door behind him to let Kankuro know that he was up and if he found him drooling over Uzu, he was going to kick his ass every which way.
He made his way down the stairs and paused to look over the railing and saw Kankuro was sitting next to Uzu on the couch, his arm around her shoulders, and he was trying to look down her shirt. "Goddammit Kankuro, get your fucking hands off of her right now!" Kakashi growled as his older brother looked up at him and grinned as if he wasn't about to have his teeth knocked out.
"Kashi! Feeling better?"
"No, but that won't stop me from fucking up that face of yours if you don't remove your hands from her person, you prick." Kakashi said as he took the last few steps down and then stomped over to the couch and grasped Uzu's wrist in his hand and gently tugged her up off of the couch as Kankuro scowled at him.
"What is your problem Kashi? I was just trying to get to know our sister a little better."
"Bullshit. You were trying to look down her shirt cause your a pig." Kakashi snapped.
