Allie snuck quietly into her apartment, she had seen her husband go up the stairs from the Zoo, he looked like he was in a bad mood. He had scowled at the drunk she was serving alcohol too, always a bad sign. He was probably sleeping by now; they hardly saw each other anymore. He would get up early to train; she would stay in bed because she didn't get off of work until at least 1am if they closed early.

To her surprise the lights where on when she opened the door, looking around she saw Gai sitting at their wimpy kitchen table. He had on his brown tank top that showed off his arms, and his shinobi pants. His hair was long again and in a messy ponytail at the back of his head, he rested his face on his hands. "The table's wobbly again," He told her, in that 'I'm annoyed that this isn't taken care off so I'm telling you' voice.

"We can put something underneath it, no problem, what are you doing up, you look tired."

Gai grunted in response, and shrugged. "Actually wanted to talk to you for once." Rolling her eyes she thought to herself, 'not this again'.

Sighing "we talk Gai were plenty close, now please I'm tired let's go to bed, you have to get up in 4 hours, that's not enough time for you to sleep." She scolded. Gai looked at her, with his eyes, they still seemed to have the same effect on her as they did when she was dating. He got up from the folding chair, coming close to wrap his arms around hair. Allie just smiled into his stinky shirt. It had been a long while since he had held her like this. Resting her head against his chest. "What's up Gai?"

"Hm?" He replied smelling her hair. "Just haven't done this in a while." He held her in those muscular arms and Allie felt like the safest girl in the world, she loved that feeling. Finally getting some energy to look up into his face, he was looking down at her, strings of long hair falling in her face. For a moment she forgot her question again.

"uh..ok so what's this about?"

"…I'm…Leaving for a mission….tomorrow, It'll be a while."

Allie pushed herself farther away, a while? "How long is a while?" They broke apart.

"Don't be mad, " murmured Gai.

"I'm not mad? Just curious…that's all," despite her best efforts Allie's voice broke. "How long?"

"3 to 5 months." Allie stepped farther away. Three to five months, without him ? He had gone a month before, and that wasn't horrible But five without him.

Wrapping her arms around herself Allie looked towards the window away from her husband; her voice was unnaturally high "what will you be doing all that time?"

"I…"

"Can't tell me I KNOW!"

"Allie, I don't want to fight…"

"WHO's Fighting, I'm not fighting!"

Gai came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist lovingly, plopping his chin on her head. "you seem angry…I don't want you to be angry." Gai kissed her lovingly on the neck.

"I'm not angry," She shivered in his arms. "I just…" Her throat started closing up as she continued, "Five months?!"

"It'll go faster than you think, I'll be home in no time," planting a kiss on the top of her head in affection, "I'll come back don't even worry about that."

Allie turned around violently in his arms, "You better! I'll never forgive you if you don't come back" She was crying now, she hadn't wanted too, she just was.

Gai sighed being the cool one in the group as always. "It's for you; I'm going for you, to keep you safe, to keep Konoha safe."

"Why can't you keep Konoha safe, by staying in Konoha?!"

"Please I don't want you to be sad," Gai kissed her in that totally unselfish way he usually did. And Allie melted into him. Oh how she loved him, how he felt so close to her, how his hands trailed everywhere. His hands were strong yet gentle over her yearning body that night. How he looked at her, and touched her oozed of love from him, he never said the word though. He didn't really need to, his eyes spoke for himself. She loved it.

"I love you Gai." She whispered that morning as they nestled there naked bodies together, finally falling asleep.

RING RING RING RING RING!

Allie woke up, in her bed to roll over; the faint outline of a man was imprinted on the other side, but quickly disappeared into her imagination. It had been a long time since she thought of that night. The beginning of the end of her relationship, shaking her head, Allie tried to shake away that memory. It was time for her to get up and get the Zoo ready for the day.

Shaking out an old dress, Grandma Viola smiled."I haven't seen this in a long time, ohh it's getting old." The dress was an old white, in its hay day it would have been a very crisp white. The dress had leafy lace over it; the waist was an empire, with a small jewel in the middle of the bosom. The sleeves were very thin a little lacier with the same leafy fabric by the shoulders. It must have been grandmother's wedding dress. Adara couldn't picture her in something so whimsical and leafy.

"It seems very…" Adara.

"Naturey…well I picked it because…it reminded me and I know Yuri of some very …good times we had" That was all Grandma said about the lace, her face formed a mischievous smile of recalling fond memories.

"Well, its beautiful Grandma, I'm sure you were a gorgeous bride." Adara whispered, the dress was stunningly beautiful.

"Of course I was!!!" Grandma snipped. "You want to try it on?"

"What?"

Grandmother Viola smiled deviously "Ohh come on, just try it." And before Adara knew it she was being pulled down stairs.

--- --- ---- ---g----

Yamato slammed the door to his apartment. He didn't know who he was angry at, Zaki, that man, himself? What the hell he wasn't to blame for this?! Was he just wanted to know what was going on with his team! He felt like a fool, whatever was going on in that house; it had to do with Zaki. And it was big and it was something he should know about. He should be her confident. The person she could tell anything to, and she's leading a double life? Was she, or was she just…holding on to something, else. Something different he didn't know.

Or maybe it was nothing! Maybe that was just a tenant living with them, who didn't pay their rent. That is something small and trivial that he could see her not telling him. A very bitter tenant, but yeah it must have been that. If there was anything more, she would have told him, she trusts him? Right? He was going to the kitchen to make some coffee.

As he pillaged threw the draws he heard a knock on the door. Crap probably an order to a mission debreafing, he flung open the door in annoyance "YEAH?!" Oh it was Mosses, "Oh, un sorry I thought you were a mission guy… Come in, I guess I should get used to it, cause were gonna be uh…roomies?"

Moses quirked her eye brow "Bad day?"

"Uhh…Yeah." Yamato let her in and closed the door behind her. "Sorry…" Good god he was an idiot.

"No prob, I wasn't supoused to come back until four any way," She looked at him and raised another eye brow "I thought you were training."

"Uhm, It was cancelled." Yamato said, was he lying or was he telling the truth?

"Oh ok, I just have to get my planner, I thought I had it in my bag

, but I didn't have it." Mosses went to her suitcases in the corner of the living room by her sofa bed. Digging threw her bags she quickly took out a small organizer. The red head quickly flipped through the pages, "Ohhh that makes sense"

"What?"

"I wasn't supposed to have that meeting until tomorrow, Today I don't have one until dinner time." Mosses said more to herself then to Yamato.

"Oh," Yamato didn't know what do, he would usually go out and do errands but he didn't want to be rude.

"Yeah," Moses looked expectantly at him. What was he supposed to do now?

"Wanna, watch a movie?" How lame was he?! Watch a movie! He didn't have any movies; he usually just went to rent them…

Shrugging her arms, "sure, what yah have."

Yamato didn't know what to say "Uhh, do you mind coming with me to do some errands, cause I have other stuff to do around town, then after we can rent movies…they won't take long, or you can go to the video store and get a movie, while I go do my errands, or you can just stay here as I do the errands," Yamato was rambling, he was rambling. "Or we could just rent the movies and I could do the errands later, because you have places to go,"

"No I don't mind we could go do your errands before hand, I just have to get to my meeting by 8:30."

"ok…I just need to get my laundry." Yamato told her pointing towards his bedroom.

"Ok"

"ok"

"Yeah"

"I should go get it" Go d he was such a dork. Finally getting all his stuff together he felt her blue eyes on him.

"Seems like you haven't done laundry in a while…" Moses stated eying his two full laundry bags.

"Yeah… I figured we do this first and then shopping. I brought quarters."

"Lots of quarters I hope"

Holding up a bag full of quarters he shook them.

"Lots of quarters"

"I prepare." Yamato retorted opening the door to the stairwell. "So whats your meeting for?"

"Oh im meeting with the building contractor on the dome were the festival afterwards is going to take place, porta potties and that kind of jazz"

"Sounds like so much fun"

Smiling showing that gap in-between her teeth she scrunched her nose up "Oodles, I don't think anybody's time can be better spent."

"I know right, sewage so much fun to discuss."

"Do you need me to help carry anything?" She asked concerned.

"No, no I'm a pretty tough shinobi I think I can handle two bags of laundry, though it is a difficult mission to undertake. I might have to sacrife my arms."

"Or even worse!The Quarters!!!"

Looking at her very seriously "that's not an option."

"Yes sir! I didn't know it was such a serious matter" she Saluted him.

"It is madam, but don't worry I'll get you home safe!" They joked all the way to the laundry mat.

--- --s----

"Zaki?" Max called out, she had wanted to come alone to get Milton out of the house. Sara was crying as he walked on.

"He must have hurt her in some way, she said she would meet you at your house, but but she's over 30 minutes late, He must have hurt her. Maybe he got his gang buddies and they killed her, what if she's bleeding, MY BABY!!!"

"Shut up woman, your making my head spin, Zaki can take care of herself." Max whispered to the ghost. He had had this for the past hour! Right now he didn't want to deal with Sara, he just wanted to know that Zaki was safe, and ok in every way possible. She should have been back! Why hadn't she come back to his apartment?

He was about a block away from the house, when he saw smoke rising from the back. What was going on? Max started running, his lungs weren't taking him very far though, dam cigarettes. Throwing open the front door, Max tried to remember his way to the back, after a couple failures, He reached a screen door, it was Zaki and she had a bunch of stuff she was burning. Max suddenly didn't know if he was interrupting.

"What is she doing?!" Screeched Sara, "that's my stuff she's burning that's our stuff she's burning, She's burning my bed! STOP HER MAX STOP HER!"

But Max didn't move, he didn't think he wanted to get in the middle of this. Finally Sara got fed up and with all her might she threw opened the screen door. Zaki looked behind her.

"What are you doing here?!" she spat.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" Sara screeched "THAT'S OUR STUFF YOUR BURNING."

"I just wanted to see what you were doing, you said you would come back to my apartment after it was done, but you never showed up…so I didn't know if anything happen." Max mumbled, He took a good look at Zaki, she was crying.

"Well Nothing happened!" Her eyes were blood shot as she sniffled this out.

Max reached for her to pull her into a hug she quickly dodged it. "Ok, so nothing happened." He looked over to the pile of stuff she was burning, there were two mattresses on fire with a load of different clothing on them. Most of it was Zaki's. "Where are you going to sleep? Your burning your mattresses."

"On the ground, I'm going to sleep on the ground." Zaki said.

Max bit his lip, "You don't have to sleep on the ground, I could move, my mattress here."

Zaki turned her hazel eyes to him, there was a pain in them, he didn't recognize, "I don't think that's a good idea."

"Why not."

"Cause I want to live by myself for now,"

"but you said…we've always been together"

"Well maybe we shouldn't anymore, we have two different lives now, I can't keep going like this, I mean, they will find out sooner or later I don't know!"

Max wasn't getting what she was saying, who would find out, why were they're lives different? He felt tears coming to his eyes. "I don't think our lives our different, your still the most important thing in mine, that hasn't changed. And what if who finds out, who doesn't all ready know! And what would they find out? What that were best friends, that I,"

"DON'T YOU DARE SAY THOSE WORDS"

"I don't know what you want me to say Zaki, I'm not letting you live in this dank horrible house by yourself so you can sleep on the floor! And what are you going to wear? I don't know if you noticed but your burning most your clothes, I thought that's what you wanted, to wear your own clothes!" Max was getting irrational he wasn't happy.

"Well I don't want them any more."

"You've seemed to have changed your mind on everything in the past hour! What were you doing this any way, we had it fine with you just living with me! Then you have to start wanting your old stuff back, and I supported you, for what SO YOU COULD BURN IT!"

"THEY SMELL OF HIM, OK I WANT IT BUT I DON'T WANT THAT STINK ON ME, I don't want to be reminded of him anymore, I didn't want anybody to know of him anymore! But I guess that's too late now, because he was there, and so was Yamato and he called me names, and I just stood there and took it and then I yelled at sensei. And now sensei probably never wants to see me again and he's prolly unbearably disappointed because I just stood there…" She was blubbering at this time.

"Zaki…"Max wanted to choose his words carefully, so she wouldn't be upset. "You can't just separate me from your life as a shinobi, and you can't just separate you team mates like that, maybe they need to know these things. They care about you, they want you to do your best, and they aren't going to judge you on what happened in the past."

"They can't know, its none of their business, they don't need to know about any of it." Taking a big sigh, Zaki shuddered "Sometimes it's best if we keep our secrets to ourselves."

-----3 ----

Allie took a deep breath, and waited on the cold porcelain seat, legs crossed and quietly stomping her foot, stupid pee stick was taking too long. A small knock came from the door, "Has it come yet?" Sara asked her

"Nope still nothing." Allie chimed.

"oh ok," Was the response, really annoyed at this point of the day, Allie scorned herself for telling anybody about this. Especially Sara, But Gai had been gone for nearly a month and a half, who else was Allie supposed to talk to about being late?!

Zak, he would have just flipped. Her Aunt, she disapproved at her marrying so young. Not to Gai though, her Aunt loved Gai, just not that fat that she was married to him. She had always scolded Allie, and now well. Allie was only 18 and Pregnant? Not exactly good planning on her part, Nor Gai's but at least she was married.

Allie had never wanted so much for her father to be a live again, He had died right before she and Gai got married. He had always liked Gai, had always told Allie that he was a dependable boy. He would know what to tell her right now. He would have made an excellent grandpa. He had made an excellent father.

Tears started to stain her eyes, this couldn't be happening, she wasn't ready for a child yet. She wasn't ready, and she had no one to turn to for advice. Looking down to that stupid test she saw what she had dreaded. A little pink plus sign, ready to haunt her.

Another bloody knock on the door "Can I come in."

Allie wanted to say no, but her mouth betrayed her "Sure."

Sara entered the room, skinny and waif like she scratched her arm in nervousness. Gently getting down on her knees to face Allie, she looked at the test. A smile spread across her face as she saw it "Oh Allie, Congratulations."

"CONGRATULATIONS!" she spoke in indignation. "I can't have a baby! I'm not cut out for this kind of things."

Her skinny waif friend wrapped her boney arms around Allie, "You're going to be a fantastic mother! I mean, and what Guy wouldn't be a better father then Gai. I mean really, you two were meant to be parents."

Allie smiled weakly, "You really think that."

"I know that! I mean come on you guys can handle anything." Sara assured her. "I don't know why your so worried."

"I guess, I guess I just want Gai to be here that's all,"

"he's coming back, you can tell him, And he'll be even happier than for just seeing you."

"You really think that?"

Allie shook her self out of her dreams. If only things had been that simple.

------s-----

Keiji walked home in a dream, Hinata was amazing. She so understood about everything. She used to stutter too! That's really cool, he felt like he could really trust her. When they had started talking about what was going to come about in the future, she understood him perfectly! He was surprised when she said she had to go for her training with her old team. It was almost 4:00 in the evening!

When Keiji arrived home, his grandfather was in the back tending to some of his gardens. "your Grandma is upstairs with Adara, See if they any help." He ordered gruffly, quickly snipping some unwanted leaves off a plant.

Walking upstairs Keiji hoped that the two would be practically done. He stopped at the door, wondering if he should knock or not, in the end he decided against it. Bobbing his head down to not knock it, he looked up to see beuty.

It was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, he didn't know her, wait it was Adara. His best friend turned around to face him, and time stopped. Her hair was pulled back just a little away from her face, His necklace was rested by her color bone. The dress she wore was beautiful. It was lacey and feminine in a very flowery way, making her look like a wood nymph.

"Hey" He whispered, why did he find it difficult to talk?

A pink blush crossed Adara's face "Hey,"

His grandmother popped into his field of vision, "Hey Keiji come to help us?" She asked a smile dancing across her eyes.

"Uhh yeah, grandma…" Keiji felt his face start blushing too, why was he blushing; he had nothing to blush about!!!

"Doesn't she look beautiful" His grandmother gushed, around Adara fixing a fallen bang, Adara shooed the hand away.

"Grandma, really, I don't feel like myself in this dress, I don't think it's me." Adara said, turning back towards the mirror. "It's too leafy." Adara excused. "Something about it isn't right."

"It's the necklace," Keiji said, the chocker he had made for her was too bulky for the delicate dress.

Adara flipped her hair to take the necklace off.

---- -s----

"Here let me help you" Keiji said in his reach deep voice. Adara's heart was thumping, this was so embarrassing. Adara tried to concentrate with all her strength on her reflection in the mirror, ignoring the boy behind her. She lifted up her hair to give him better access to her neck. The boy leaned down to get the jewelry off her. His hot breath touched her smooth skin and Adara fought harder not to sigh loudly. Why was he so close? For what seemed like forever he unhooked it.

"There you go," He placed the cold stone chocker into her hand. Their eyes met and Adara stopped breathing. Why was he looking at her like that? Why was one of his hands still on her bare shoulder? Why did she not care that it was there? Why was her whole body telling her to step closer?

Breathless Adara finally managed one word "Thanks."

"Now see how the dress looks now." He told her in that unbearably deep voice.

Looking back in the mirror, the dress did look better, or maybe it was just Keiji leaning down for his face to be seen behind her in the mirror. His hands on her bare shoulders, heat emanated from them making her whole body want to flush. What was she supposed to do?

Breaking them out of their silence, Grandmother stepped in. "Now go downstairs Keiji! We are done here and Adara needs to change back into her clothes!"

Turning the brightest shade of red Adara had ever seen Keiji, was flabbergasted at this. "Oo, oh so sorry, um I'll leave now." And he practically ran out of the attic. If Adara kept her secret any longer she would burst!

---k-----

Moses whipped her eyes from some stray tears of laughter, "oh god, You didn't!"

Smilling like a school boy Yamato nodded his head like a fool. "Yeah we did"

"You did not steal the poor man's pants!" Moses cried in indignation, another person in the laundry mat gave the two of them the stink eyes. Lowering her voice Moses kept going. "You got the poor guy drunk than stole his pants!"

"In my defense, the guy was a sleaze bag!"

RING RING, Yamato opened the door to the dryer, it was the last load, thank god! They both reached into the dryer to take out something to fold. It had become routine. Moses pulled out his Tweedy bird boxer"

"Boxers? I would have pegged you as a briefs guy"

"Those are for nostalgia purposes, more than underwear purposes, if you notice." He said holding up another pair of his underwear. "I am a boxer-briefs kind of guy."

Faking surprise Moses covered her mouth with her hand. "How scandalous, not deciding between the two factions!"

"I know, it was a hard decision, but I believe I am a better person for it, I will not be part of that bloody war."

"Yes, the war of underwear, it takes many lives." Moses sighed knowingly. Yamato quickly glanced over to her, and as they exchanged knowing glances both of them burst out laughing.

After the laughter died down a bit, they went quiet, pleasantly folding the laundry with each other. After a couple minutes of talking Moses glanced over at him.

"Why were you so angry before?"

Yamato's smile faded quickly, how did he answer that question? Part of him really wanted to tell someone, the other one didn't want her to look down on him. "Just life I guess." Moses pursed her lips.

"Well that's not very specific, what kind of life troubles. Job, Friendship, Maintenance…Romance?"

Yamato scoffed at the last one, "No I haven't done any of that kind of stuff in a really long time."

Raising her eyebrows Moses looked at him "Really?"

"Why is that so hard to believe, I just really don't have time to go around and go out to clubs and stuff. And plus it's a lot of work to keep a relationship going, especially when I can be gone for 4-5 months a year depending on what missions I get." Yamato put the rest of his laundry in the bag.

"I know what you mean, I try to stay away from romance all the time, and it's too hard when you travel all over the place all the time. But enough about that, you didn't answer my question."

Sighing in relenting "Job/friendship, I don't know just students I guess," Quickly looking at the surprise on Moses' faces "No NO, not Kaida, One of her team mates, Zaki. This morning she didn't show up to training, and well I went to her apartment, and was witness to a, really bad fight with an older man. I don't know what it was about, I don't know who the guy was, but it was…big and instead of explaining it to me. She ordered me out of her house, I left. And I guess I was just wondering what had happened, if it was important. Why she didn't' tell me if she was having trouble, am I unapproachable? Is it even my business, I mean what kind of relationship am I supposed to have with her? A student yes, so should I keep it professional? URR" Yamato finally realized he was talking out loud. "That prolly sounded pretty stupid"

"No not really, I would be angry too,"

"I just, don't…don't know why she has to keep it a secret."

"Some people feel that they are better of if they shoulder all the responsibilities.

------3-----

Allie was about 3 and half months pregnant, she hadn't started showing yet. So far she really didn't like this baby at all, all it did was make her want to puke all the times, and gave her some of the worst cravings ever! She was walking home from the grocery store at around 11, she was off tonight thank god! She really didn't feel like dealing with drunk tonight. Quickly dodging into a short cut ally, she set off briskly for her home.

Her thoughts traveled to how she was going to tell Gai. Well by the time he got home, she would probably be showing all ready; she would just need to see him. But she wanted to tell him before; somehow, maybe she could set up a curtain in the middle of their apartment, and first tell him, then let him see her. But knowing how he could be after missions he would probably just rip the curtain off and then start at her.

Allie had to suppress a moan, after mission sex was always the best! Wait, a thought popped into her head 'was she aloud to have sex?' She must call her doctor right away! What was she going to eat tonight? The fried chicken she got, or maybe she could sauté some onions and garlic, and mushrooms. Mushrooms, Turning around back into the ally, Allie decided to march right back to the grocer and get mushrooms.

In the familure darkness Allie felt nothing. Until somebody grabbed her from behind. Allie struggled in an attempt to get out. "Now now honey, don't be struggling, I'm just going to show you a good time." The rough voice behind her stunk of Alcohol, a rough hand covered her mouth. The other traveled to her inner thigh. She elbowed the man in the stomach. Nothing happened. She tried again, the man pushed her back closer to his chest. "Sugar plum, don't struggle, you won't like what happens if you struggle.

Finally managing to open her mouth she bit his fingers. The man slammed her into the brick wall of the ally. And before she could get up, he was on top of her. And had a Kunai pulled out at her throat. "Scream and I'll kill you." He threatened. Gathering up the saliva in her mouth she spat in his eyes.

Her face stung as an open palm slapped her. She tried to use her free hand to push him away, but couldn't. He grabed her free hand and put it above her head with the other being held down with his left hand. Allie tried to buck her hips up, anything to get out of this situation. "mmm, keep doing that," He growled.

"Let go of me!" She tried to yell, she felt so helpless. The man nipped at her neck drawing blood. Her chest felt uncomfortably bare, he had sliced it off with his kunai. "Urgh there even bigger then I thought." He moaned in her ear.

"Get off of me!!" She breathed.

"But you don't want me to do that! Babe!" He snarled pushing himself closer to her. He broke her bra off. And started biting and scratching her skin with his teeth.

Finally she managed to slip one of her hands free, pushing him away from herself, feebly. The man closed his eyes when she tried to scratch his eyes out, opening them again, her fear doubled ten times. They were red eyes, the sharingon. She couldn't do anything to him now. He was untouchable. The man smirked, leaning closer to let her see him, in a horrible light. "You know the pickle you are in, little missy." There really was nothing she could do, closing her eyes, she tried not to scream.

When it was all over the man snarled at her, and used the kunai to stab her in the stomach, then slit her wrist, Allie wasn't sure what happened, next, her eyes were too busy watering before being knocked out.

Allie shook her head violently, she had promised never to think about that night ever again. Why was she so week? Her tears were quickly wiped away by her tears on the fake varnish polyester counter.

She was surrounded by a white room, in an uncomfortable cot. Looking around she saw a window, then to her left was a curtain. Instruments all over, a heart monitor was beeping steadily. "Hey," A voice said, she looked up to see Sara. The brunettes' hazel eyes looked scared and hallowed. "You're awake."

Allie looked around, she didn't know what to say, "yeah, I am."

"I'll go get a doctor, Zak should be here any minuet he went to go get both of us coffee." Sara was rushing trying not to look her in the eye, something was wrong.

"How long was I out?"

"3 day. The old grocer found you and brought you here, he told us only after he was sure they were taking care of you."

"Yeah, he's a nice man, I'll make sure to send him a card." Allie said, her mouth was speaking for her brain at the moment.

Sara hid her face in that long straggly hair, "I'll get a doctor now." Then she scurried out of the room.

What had she let happen to her? She wasn't some victim that let this kind of stuff happen to her! She was strong, everybody said that, strong people don't let themselves get into that situations. Aperantly she wasn't strong as she thought.

The curtained opened up again, it was Zak. His grey hair was in that bed headed mess he wore so well. The smirk crossed his face. His blue green eyes looked sad. "Hey Al, glad you are awake." She didn't respond, pulling up a chair Zak tried to grab her hand, she flinched away. "Who did it?" He finally asked.

Allie tried to smile but it hurt her face too much, "I can't tell you."

"Did you see his face?!"

"…yes…" she whispered, closing her eyes trying to stop from crying again.

"then if they police caught him," Allie snorted before he could even finished his sentence. "…It was an Uchiha wasn't it, that's why you can't tell me." She didn't need to respond. Zak was quiet for a moment, and then all of a sudden he jumped up and smashed his hand against the stone wall. His knuckles started bleeding. "GOD FUCK THEM, they think they can get away with anything! "

Finally finding her voice Allie looked at Zak, "Who's going to stop them? They are the police, if any of us report who did this, all the file will be pushed under a desk, nothing will happen. There are no none Uchiha's on the police force. They care about their clan more then they care about any other people in Konoha."

"We don't have to do it the proper way, Gai and I could find him, and we could."

"GAI IS NOT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS! None of it, do you understand me!" Allie couldn't have Gai know, she just couldn't she wouldn't have been his anymore. He would look at her differently, he wouldn't accept it. "I don't want him to know about this little incident, we are just going to go on pretending with our lives!"

"And the baby? Is he not to know about what happened to his kid?"

Allie's felt her heart sink, "What do you mean, what happened? The kid is still coming!" Desperately she tried to look in his eyes, but Zak turned away. The kid had to be all right, she had been stabbed but it was the stomach not the, the uterus, the baby should have been fine. "Nothing should have happened to it, in the movies and books and stuff when this happens, the baby always pulls threw, what do you mean what happened! NOTHING HAPPENED!" She screamed. Taking the closest thing to her she threw it at Zak. "GET OUT OF MY SIGHT; I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK WITH YOU ANYMORE!"

Zak just looked at her, with the saddest eyes she had ever seen, "It's gone Al, the kid, the doctors tried to save it, but it was in such an early stage of development, it couldn't have pulled threw. If you would have been 5 or 6 months pregnant it would have had a chance,"
