Shika 6 years old
"Why don't you have a mom?" Kyo was the school bully. He was really big and strong and he scared me.
"I don't know. My daddy is sort of a mommy and a daddy too though" I looked up, hopefully he will leave me alone.
"That's stupid, your daddy cant be a mommy, he is a boy, I know why you don't have a mommy"
"Why?" I whispered trying not to cry.
"Because you're stupid" he leered. A few of his friends laughed.
"I'm not stupid" I mumbled.
"What? Did you just question me?" he grinned.
"Y-yes-s" I answered. He smirked and then he pushed me over. I landed with a thump on the hard ground and tears welled in my eyes. The boys ran away, leaving me alone in the dirt. I scraped my elbows and my hands and they were starting to sting. Kyo stood over me and laughed as I was crying.
"Crybaby, crybaby!" he chanted at me.
"No I'm not!" I shouted standing up.
"Yes you are, you're a stupid crybaby!" he grinned. I ran at him and I tried to hit him but he grabbed both my arms and my legs were too short to kick him.
"You're stupid like your Daddy" He laughed. Without thinking about it, my head snapped forward and hit his face. His nose erupted in a shower of blood and he fell on the floor crying. I grinned at him and stuck out my tongue. Then, a hand landed on my shoulder and I knew I was in trouble.
She was asleep when I came to collect her, her head resting on her arms on her desk. I looked over at Iruka and my smile turned into a frown. I wonder how much trouble she would be in, I mean she headbutted the kid. I couldn't help but grin. I'm not glad she inherited Temari's aggression but I couldn't help but laugh, she broke his nose for god sake! If Temari was here she would be so proud.
"She will have to be suspended for a week and you might have to face the boy's parents. They were quite angry."
"I'm not surprised" I sighed "Is that all we need to talk about?"
"She sleeps in my class often and a loud bang will only keep her awake for so long but apart from that everything is fine, her grades are perfect, and I have never had any trouble with her until now."
"Did she say why she hit him?"
"No, she wouldn't tell me" he frowned "but I have been waiting for something like this to happen, that boy is a bully but I could never catch him. Well he picked the wrong person to torment anyway" He chuckled and I laughed with him.
"So we can go?"
"You can go" he smiled. I walked over to her desk and picked her up. As soon as I touched her she stirred.
"Daddy?" she mumbled, rubbing her face against my neck.
"Shhh, go back to sleep" I whispered.
"mmmkay" I shook Iruka's hand on the way out.
She peered around the door at me as I was sorting through some paperwork.
"You are suspended for a week"
"So I can lie in?"
"No, you are going to work with aunt Ino, she needs a set of extra hands now the baby has come"
"Ok"
"What possessed you to headbut him?" I had to ask.
"He called me a stupid crybaby and when I went to hit him he grabbed my hands, then he called you stupid and I hit him with the only thing that was available, my head" All I could do was laugh. Then I caught sight of her scraped hands.
"How did that happen?"
"He pushed me over"
"Before you headbutted him?"
"Yep"
"Lets get them cleaned up" I sighed. I sat her on the kitcken counter and got the first aid kit.
"Daddy?"
"Mmmm?"
"Why don't I have a mommy?" I looked up at her in shock.
"What brought this on?"
"Kyo said it was because I am stupid" Im glad she broke his nose.
"No that's silly. Your mommy loved you very much but do you remember the talk I give you everytime I go on a mission?"
"That you love me even if you don't make it back"
"Exactly, your mommy didn't make it back from her mission. It wasn't anything you did, ok?" I smiled at her.
"Ok" she answered.
"Lets go get something to eat"
"Can we have ramen?" I sighed and silently cursed Naruto.
"Whatever you want darling"
2 days later
When Kankuro walked into Gaaras office, Gaara was sat at his desk smiling at a letter.
"What are you smiling at?" he silently handed me the letter.
Hey Gaara,
How are you? Congratulations! I knew it was going to be a boy, tell Kankuro I said I told you so and he owes me money! Hows Rei doing? Tell her I said congratulations too! Hinata is going to have a girl this time. Kou cant wait to meet his sister! We were thinking of Natsumi as a name, what do you think?
I have some news about your niece. She has been suspended from Kohona academy for headbutting a boy because he called her a stupid crybaby. I don't think I have ever laughed so much in my life. He was 4 years older than her and twice her size, and she broke his nose! You should be proud. If that doesn't prove she is Temari's daughter I don't know what would! Speaking of Temari, the anniversary is coming up and the Kohona 12 is going to meet up , you wanna come? We would all want you and Kankuro there.
Get back to me soon,
Naruto.
