Kakashi walked into the kitchen ten minutes later looking angry. Uzu looked at him and wondered what had put that look on his face as he looked at her and sighed. "We're going to have a party tonight..."
"Oh no. The world must be ending." Uzu said dryly as he shot her a dark look and walked over to her and put his hands on her shoulders and just looked at her for a second before pulling her against him and wrapping his arms around her and laying his chin on the top of her head.
"Don't be smart baby girl. You have no idea how close to the truth you are. Kankuro is going to invite some questionable people here to meet you."
"Damn, I don't suppose that I could just stay in my room or something could I?" Uzu asked hopefully against his chest. He gave a soft breathy laugh and laid his cheek against the top of her head and rubbed it against her hair.
"No. Kankuro and the rest of us want you to make friends. And sadly, until school starts up again, this is the best way to go."
"But I don't want a party. I'd rather just talk to one of you if I'm lonely."
Kakashi made a small humming sound in the back of his throat and lifted his head. "But you do get lonely. Don't you." It wasn't a question. Merely a fact that he had noticed about Uzu in the past month. Due to her upbringing, she had never had friends. Not for very long at least. And though they out numbered her five to one, she couldn't really talk to any of them the same way that she could talk to another girl or a close friend.
"No. Not really. I mean yeah, I can't really talk to any of you about girl stuff, but that doesn't mean that I'm lonely." Uzu said as she buried her face against his shirt. Kakashi chuckled and kissed the top of her head then let her go and moved away from her.
"Your lying, baby girl. I can sense it... I've been watching you almost constantly for the past month, and I've seen the signs. You might smile, and laugh with us. But your heart isn't in it. Your holding some part of yourself back, and I don't like it."
She gave him a scowl and asked. "Kakashi, do you really want me to have friends that I can talk about boys and sex with? Cause that is pretty much the scope of conversation when a girl is sixteen. Because everyone is always like, 'Oh god did you see that guy?' and 'I wonder what kind of package he has?' and then there is the ever popular 'I had sex for the first time and it was awesome' Get it now?"
Kakashi opened his mouth to say something, his expression shocked. His mouth worked for a second, he hadn't been aware that that was what girls talked about. Hell, he hadn't even been aware that Uzu knew anything about the subject of sex! Wasn't she too young for that shit?
His mouth snapped closed and Uzu shrugged her shoulders and gave him a sweet smile and brushed past him as she said in a sing song voice. "I wonder what we'll talk about-" Then she stopped and turned her head a little bit and looked at him over her shoulder and grinned as she said. "Maybe I'll finally be able to talk about this guy that I have a crush on."
Kakashi's eyes widened a little bit and he growled. "Guy? Crush? What guy? What crush?" Uzu giggled and ran out of the room. He made a strangled sound and ran after her, his voice raising in volume as he went.
"Hey! Hey! Stop right there baby girl! You turn around right now and tell me what guy you have a crush on!" She ignored him and started up the stairs. He sputtered for a second and made another, louder strangled sound as his temper flared to life and he quickly started up after her yelling.
"Hey! Hey! Get back here and answer me goddammit! What boy do you have a crush on? Uzu! I'm not playing around!" Uzu slipped into her room and closed the door and locked it as Kakashi smacked the hard wood with the palm of his hand and yelled.
"I'm serious baby girl!" Bang!
"You stay away from that guy!" Bang, bang!
"Don't you know that men are the devil? He's only after one thing and I don't want to do jail time for murder!" He smacked her door three more times and stood there with his forehead against the wood, waiting to see if she said anything that might seal the fate of any and every boy that she would ever develop feelings for.
Uzu snickered and leaned her shoulder against the door and said very loudly and clearly. "There's no reason for you to kill anyone Kakashi, especially since I've already seen him without a shirt and gotten kissed by-"
There was a very loud WHAM, followed by a cracking sound that caused her to jump away from the door as his fist splintered the wood and appeared in the spot next to where her head had been. Her jaw dropped as she stared at his bruised and bleeding knuckles for a second before he pulled his arm out of the door and peeked through the fist sized opening to glare at her and bit out the words. "Stay. Away. From. Boys. Do I make myself clear?"
She blinked at him, her face pale as she nodded her head slightly and he stopped glaring at her. "Good. You have one hour to give me the name of the guy you like before I'm kicking down the door and tying you to the bed. Where you will stay, for the rest of your days, after I have a long chat with our dad."
She licked her lips nervously and stared at him, looking a little shaken. "Yeah...sure..."
He tapped the door with his bloody finger tips and said, "Good girl." Then walked away.
