They said goodbye to their father at about four thirty that evening, which left them a few hours of spare time before the party and Uzu had been wrangled into going grocery shopping with Kakashi who had been in a surly mood ever since he had punched a hole in her bedroom door. Kakashi stood at the door waiting for her as she slipped on her shoes and grabbed a light jacket then walked down the steps and made her way over to his side.
He looked her over for a second then grabbed the keys to the spare car that their dad had seen fit to get for them once Kakashi and Genma had gotten their drivers license and picked up the credit card that Minato had left so that they could get groceries and whatever else they might need and pocketed it. "Lets go." Kakashi said as he opened the door and then stepped back so that Uzu could go out before him.
She gave him a nervous look that seemed to darken his mood even more and walked out and all but ran to the car and climbed into the passenger side and quickly buckled herself in as Kakashi walked down the steps lazily and made his way to the driver side of the car and opened the door, sparing her a small glance before sliding into the drivers seat and buckling himself in then started the car.
He played with the radio for a second before finding something that he liked then backed out of the drive way and started driving. They had been riding together for about ten minutes before Uzu broke down and finally asked him if his hand was okay.
He glanced at her again, knowing that she had tried to ask him earlier when she had come out of her room, but he had shut her down and walked away. Because the very idea of her being interested in some boy-any boy, pissed him off.
"My hand is fine. Stop worrying about it." It wasn't like her bedroom door was the first one that he had ever punched a hole in.
"B-But-"
Kakashi took his wounded hand off of the wheel and flexed the fingers to prove to her that nothing was broken then put his hand back on the wheel and quickly changed subjects. "You never gave me the guys name." He kept his tone light, despite the fact that he was tense, his fingers tightened on the wheel to the point where it felt as if his palms were burning.
"Would you believe me if I said that I was just playing earlier?" Uzu asked with an apologetic expression on her pretty face. He glanced at her again, his angry simmering just below the surface of his skin.
"No." He wouldn't believe her. Because he knew in his heart that she was interested in someone. She just didn't want to tell him who it was. Not that it mattered much. He'd find out who the guy was even if he had to go around town breaking the knee caps of every guy sixteen years of age and older.
He pulled into the parking lot at the local store just eight miles from the house and parked the car and unfastened his seat belt and leaned over into Uzu's space a little bit and unfastened her as he said very softly, "I will find out who he is-" And when Kakashi did find out who the son of a bitch was, he was going to go mid evil on the guy's ass for daring to get close to his precious baby girl.
Uzu gave him a wide eyed look and made a little squeaking sound and quickly opened the door and climbed out and ran for the store before he could follow her out.

Kakashi was quiet as he followed Uzu around the store, his dark mood hanging over their heads like a thunder cloud as Uzu tried to find all of the items on the grocery list. And while she was doing that Kakashi was trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with him. He'd been behaving like a cave man for the past four in a half hours.
He just didn't understand himself.
Normally he didn't care about things like sex or boys, but then he had never been in this sort of situation before. Not outside of his former foster homes anyways. And maybe that was part of the problem. Maybe he was seeing Uzu as one of those poor abused girls that he had seen hurt. Maybe he couldn't separate his memories of what had happened in those places, and the unwanted attention that he and the other kids had gotten from the adults, from Uzu and her healthy need for male companionship.
After all it was normal for a girl her age to notice guys. And it was probably even normal for her to picture guys-
He cringed and made a small choking sound as he gagged. Uzu put the potato chips and spinach dip and salsa dips into the buggy and looked at him and frowned. "Are you-"
"I'm fine baby girl." He said quickly as he flushed and looked away. That was one of the most disturbing and disgusting things that he had ever thought before in his life. So it was a little wonder that he had almost thrown up just now.

Kabuto's talk with his boss the Snake, had been a bit upsetting. It had been almost three months since the Namikaze girl's mother had died and she had been taken deeper into hiding by the US Marshal's, and he had lost track of her completely.
Sad. Since she was a loose end that he and his boss couldn't afford to let slip from their grasp. Which was why he was back in her mother's home town looking for her, hoping against hope that someone in this small southern hick town had seen the girl and knew where he could find her.
He walked through the small corner grocery, picking up a few odds and ends to take back to his apartment with him so that he would have something to eat for the next week or so while he continued to look for the damned girl so that he could get rid of her.
He meandered over by the frozen foods and bumped into a kid about sixteen or seventeen years old. He glanced at the kid almost absent mindedly and noted the wild shaggy gravity defying silver hair and the mis matched eyes. "Sorry. I didn't see you." Kabuto said politely, hoping not to cause a scene.
The boy shrugged his shoulders and looked bored. "No problem." He muttered before someone came running up and dropped something into the kid's buggy. Kabuto turned away and blocked out everything else as he tried to think of where the girl might be, that he hadn't searched yet.
