I DO NOT OWN NARUTO

Kakashi entered the hospital the next morning in an extremely good mood. He was eager to get Hinata back to the mansion, he wanted to see her in his home where she belonged. He still had a little trouble believing that she was his sometimes, everything had happened so quickly. They were married right after he started to accept his feelings for her. Hopefully, once she was settled in the mansion and recovering, he would have a chance to explore the depth of his feelings and woo his woman.

As he approached the front desk, he overheard something that made him stop and conceal himself at the corner.

"Did you hear what happened last night? I heard that Lady Hatake attacked poor Mimi in a fit of jealous rage! Oh my poor Kakashi-sama!" One of the nurses exclaimed.

"I know! That unfortunate man is tied to a jealous bitch for the rest of his life!" Another nurse stated viciously.

"If he were my man, I would be jealous too! How could you not be- it's a well-known fact that he is a tiger in bed! How could any woman be assured that she was enough for him!" A third nurse asked dreamily.

"Still, you would think as damaged as her heart is, she would be careful about activating her Byakugan! No matter what Mimi said to her!" Another nurse said with a slight malicious enjoyment.

Deciding that he had heard enough, Kakashi casually strolled around the corner, making it appear as if he had just arrived. He leaned his hip against the desk and angled his upper body towards the nurse sitting there, smiling at her cheerfully. Her face immediately turned a brilliant red, and he heard several sighs behind her. He let his eyes roam over each of the nurses in turn, laughing inwardly at the effect he was having on them. Most of the time, he made it a point not to encourage his fan girls, but today he wanted to make a point. Reel them in and then set the trap.

"I was wondering if you could tell me…" he said softly, making them all lean forward to hear his words.

"Yes?" The nurse closest to him asked breathlessly, as she fluttered her eyelashes.

"If my beloved, beautiful, talented, jealous bitch of a wife has been cleared to leave the hospital today?" He asked nonchalantly as he leaned back and let the smile drop off his face. The way the nurses froze in place, with their faces showing various degrees of embarrassment and fear was extremely satisfying to see. He would have laughed if he wasn't so annoyed about the way they had been tearing Hinata's good name to shreds. Feeling that he had made his point, he raised his eyebrow at nurse he had asked.

"Oh! Um-well-I-" He watched with a slight twinkle in his eye as she fumbled around with the charts and papers in front of her, desperately looking for the information. She let out a sign of relief as she found Hinata's chart.

"Oh, yes! Lady Hatake has been cleared for release!" She told him. He nodded to her and turned towards the elevators. Kakashi took a few steps away from the desk, and all the nurses slumped in relief, only to stand back to attention as he turned back to face them.

"I am sure you ladies will understand that I would be very displeased to hear that my wife's good name was being slandered around the village. In fact, I would have to go to the Lady Tsunade about the problem, and we all know how she deals with those who are indiscreet don't we?" He said gently, though his tone revealed that he was deadly serious. Letting his threat sink in, he looked each of the nurses in the eye, and was satisfied to see their faces turn pale. Smiling again, he raised his hand in farewell, and walked off to the elevators, leaving the nurses to collapse against each other in fear and helpless longing.

As soon as the elevator doors shut, Kakashi let his laughter fill the small space. So, my little Kitten showed her claws, did she? Jealous over something this Mimi said? Well, well, I am definitely making progress! The elevator stopped on Hinata's floor, and Kakashi stepped out with a spring in his step as he went to retrieve his wife.
