Chapter 15 Downhill Spiral

Kakashi POV

To say that I was pisted off wasn't the right word if I had to describe how I was feeling when I heard the doctor say hickey I think I would say that I was past the point of anger. Kurenai's eyes widen as the doctor said the words and I swore that I saw her shoulders start to shake from intense anger.

I sighed heavily as my chest began to collapse inward what was this boy thinking, hell what is wrong with him half the time. It's like we solve one problem and he then makes a new mess that we have to clean up.

I shook my head sadly as I looked over to my rage-filled wife her red eyes wild and wide as she stared Sasuke who looked like he was about to make a break for it. I walked over to the door and locked it before starting to lean against the window glaring at him.

I knew my eyes were daring him to do something even more stupid than getting a hickey. He looked at me expectantly like he hoped that I would help get him out of this mess but there was no way that was going to happen. I looked at him and shook my head sadly but my body language told him that I was less than pleased about what was going on and about what was going to happen next.

"What in the world were you thinking, do you want to explain this to me and while you're are at it why don't you want to tell me who the hell the girl is that gave you this hickey." He looked down at his lap and it looked like he was weighing his option whether to lie or tell the truth but at this rate, no matter which one he went with there was no way that he was avoiding punishment for this.

"I….." He went back to looking down at his lap and Kurenai growled out in frustration before looking at me her eyebrows raise "I can assume that you weren't at Kiba house that night then." I looked at Sasuke he simply looked up from his lap and his eyebrows furrowed together in confusion at my is no way that I could believe a single thing that he has said in the past few weeks.

"I don't know what you mean… I" I glared at him and whatever he was going to say died in his throat what the hell was wrong with this boy. "Speak up why are you so timid now you have no problem speaking your mind any other time." I looked at him and he sighed heavily before sitting back on the bed and pulled his knees up to his chest. With this worried expression on his face that almost looked scared.

"Sasuke you heard your father answer the question were you with Kiba that night or did you lie to our faces and then have Kiba lie for you as well." I looked at him and he looked up at his knees sighing.

It looked like we were finally going to get the answer out of him or at least some of the truth out of him. "I wasn't at Kiba's house I had him cover for me so that I could hang with a girl. I lost track of time and ended up spending the night at her house. That is all nothing else happened."

Kurenai was seething with rage as her shoulder began to shake uncontrollably it practically looked like there was steam coming off of her and there might this point I don't think that she is in total control of her actions. Considering all the thing that we have down when we were teenagers I didn't think that it would be that big of a deal.

But she looked at him with such rage and disappointment that I almost felt bad for the slowly and surely she began to walk away from him as she began to pace back and forth near the door. But after a moment she turned to look at him.

"If you expect me to believe that, you are dumber than you look right now, I know that there was something more or else that hickey wouldn't be on your neck. So you are going to answer my next question carefully and, I swear to god I will get a Yamanaka to poke around in that head of yours if you lie. You got me?"

He stiffened for a minute but nodded his head reluctantly before looking at me this sad look on his face that matches this dopey look in his eyes. He almost made me feel bad for being so mad at him.

"Alright, then did you have sex with this girl?" There was this small red tint that started to appear on the bridge of his nose if I wasn't so mad I might have laughed. "Well? Answer her!" My voice was forceful and it caused him to flinch as he thought about something, his eyes seemed lost in thought for a moment before taking in a steady breath.

"Yes," I looked at him and then at Kurenai whose shoulder was shaking again and she glared at Sasuke. "I want her name and what clan she is from and I want them now." He shook his head no slowly and flinched when she started to growl under her breath. "Kurenai calms you down you will only make thing worse if you get the girl involved. Plus you are scaring Sasuke. There is a simple solution to all of this."

It's not that I felt bad for the kid but he looks like a wet cat just fished out of the river, there was no point beating him down any more than he already it. But as Kurenai shifted her vision to me I knew that she didn't agree with my assessment.

She looked at me and growled before walking over to me. Poking my chest every time she spoke. "What am I not suppose to be mad he is traipsing around town screwing whoever he feels like and I will not have that. So do tell what is the simple solution." I look at her and then at Sasuke he was looking for relief from this awkward and hostile environment.

"Well, one you let me punish him the way I want and two I have a jutsu that will let me keep tabs on him. I will know where he is at all times now will you please calm down it's not good for you to be this riled up."

She snarled at me and then looked at Sasuke "Don't think that we are down with this young man and you." She turned to me and punched me in the chest her voice just had forceful as the hit if not more.

"You better sort this out and don't think that we aren't going to be having a long talk" She started to walk out of the room as I rubbed my chest and looked at her as she slowly unlocked the door. "Where the hell are you going." I looked at her and she sighed "To talk to Kiba and his mother I will not have my son and my student lying behind my back." With that, she walked out of the room and the doctor walked back in.

He had this cocky smile on his face as he looked at Sasuke, I'm sure the whole hospital heard what my wonderful wife had to say to our son. I groaned a little bit and looked at him as this amused smile formed on his face.

"I'm going to provide painkillers and sleeping pills for the pain he might find his difficult to sleep with all the pain his chest. I'm also going to give you a prescription for a pill that should help speed up his recovery which will also keep him from coughing up blood." I looked at him and nodded my head before turning to look at Sasuke he was trying desperately not make eye contact with me.

"Alright and I can take him home then." I looked at him and then the doctor and he nodded "Yes he is fine to head home just make sure that he at least take his medicine twice a day for the next two weeks. His breastplate should heal up nicely and just right about the time that the chunin exams are taking place." I nodded my head "If he even gets to participate in the chunin exams."

I sighed heavily and looked at Sasuke. "Well, there is some paperwork that you need to sign and then you can go." I nodded my head as he guested for me to follow him. "Don't move Sasuke you hear me." He nodded his head meekly and just sat there not even bothering to watch me leave the room.

I was walking down the hallway and I could hear Sakura and Naruto going to the room, I could hear Naruto snickering and Sasuke insulting him and telling him to shut up. I shook my head sadly and walked to the front desk there was a nurse running around in white uniform frazzled. The doctor stopped abruptly and I looked up at him and sighed he pointed to the desk and there was a 3 sheet of paper with a whole bunch of crap on it.

"Just signed at the bottom of each page and you can take your son home. Good luck." I smiled at him and nodded my head before bending over the desk and watching some of the nurses go bye. "So how is the kid." I looked up to see Asuma standing there this cocky smile on his face.

"I'm sure that you heard Kurenai yelling." I signed the last sheet of paper and started to walk back to the room but Asuma had this confused look on his face "I don't understand and what do you mean?" I looked at him wishing that he had known so that I wouldn't have to go through the embarrassment or the torture of retelling this fucked up little story.

"Well, in short, the doctor was examining Sasuke and Kurenai pointed out something that looked like a bruise, turns out that it was a hickey and she yelled so loud that the entire fucking hospital heard it. Then she stormed off to talk to Kiba and his mother. It turns out all those late nights he was out with some girl."

I shook my head sadly and he looked at me and sighed heavily before looking away. I looked up at him confused and he sighed. His face became grave as something dawned on him "I.. I uh… Just figured something out and I need to tell you later on and just remember that I just came to this conclusion and you're not going to like it.' I looked at him and nod my head before walking back to Sasuke's room.

He was sitting there talking to Sakura while ignoring Naruto as if he wasn't even there. I wonder if he was doing that because he knew that I was coming into the room or if he decided it just wasn't in his best interest to talk to Naruto at the moment.

I look at him and he sighed heavily

"The nurse gave you your medicine." He nodded his head and lifted up the bag that was on the table and he sighed heavily. "Hey, uncle Asuma." He looked at him and smiled uneasily "What the hell were you thinking kid they are going to kill you." He nodded his head and look at them they shared this look of understanding and then Asuma nodded his head gravely and Sasuke dams near collapsed on the bed.

He got up shakily putting his shirt over his head before grabbing his bag of pills and started to walk out of the hospital. He looked heartbroken but I don't think that it was because of what I or his mother had to say and everything to do with Asuma. I turn it look at Asuma he was staring blankly ahead like he was trying not to make eye contact with me. I sighed heavily when we finally got to the house and turned to look at Sasuke.

"Go up to your room I will be there for a minute." He looked at me before nodding and jumping up the stairs three at a time. I guess he didn't want to get in any more trouble. I went into the kitchen and poured myself a drink before looking at Ausma.

"You know who the girl doesn't out." I looked at him and he nodded his head gravel before pouring himself a drink. "I'm not going to like what you have to say am I." I look at him and he simply nodded his head again. His brown eyes clouded over with concern. "Just when I tell you don't take it out on the both of them."

I looked at him and nodded my head. "Alright if you don't mind I have a tracking jutsu to cast on my son because I can't even trust him to be in the house at the right time." I sighed heavily and walked up the stairs and into Sasuke's room he was curled up under his blankets this concerned look on his face as he sure blanky of the wall.

When he heard me walking into the room he sat upright and looked at me this small glimmer of fear in his eyes. I sighed "Take off your shirt I need to do the jutsu." I watch him nod his head slowly before gently taking his shirt off careful not to hit his breastplate. I walked over to the bed and placed a hand on the small of his back and mumbled the words under my breath while my hands move rapidly.

After a was down a small fire symbol appeared on his back and one appeared on my hand that touched his back. "There this should tell me where you are at all times now on to the next part. The ass whooping."

He whimpered and whined but I wasn't going to let him get away with this a large reason being Kurenai. Ethier, he gets an ass whooping or I do and I don't want that. He looked at me his wide obsidian black eyes reminded me so much of his mother it was one of the many reasons why I couldn't stay mad at him.

"Papa do you think that we could just tell mom that you punished me and call it a day." I sighed and looked at him and he squirmed under my hard gaze. "You know that I can't do that you would never believe it unless someone else corroborated it and Asuma won't lie to your mom he fears her too much and he isn't the only one." I heard him whine a little bit before looking at me.

"Do you have to." He sounded like a little kid sometimes I forget that he was just still a teenager. "Yes," He nodded his head and I walked more of the chair at his desk. "Come here Sasuke now." He stiffened but did as he was told he put his shirt back on and then walked over to me slowly. "You know the deal."

He sighed heavily and looked at me "This sucks." He looked at me in his eye but I could see defiant flames. "Well if that is how you feel then I guess we will have to do this the hard way." I forced him over my knee before moving his short down enough to expose his skin.

SMACK, he wiggled under the weight of my hand as I brought it down for a second time "You do realize that none of this would be happening if you did what you were told and acted responsibly." He groaned out in pain but it soon turned into a full-blown whine as my hand came down with a large amount of force. SMACK. "What do you do wrong."

I could see tears rolling on his face as I got to the 20th smack in. SMACK. "Well, are you go to answer me or are we going to be doing this all night." By the 40th smack, he finally answered.

"I lied to you and mom and then had Kiba lie for me." SMACK "What else Sasuke." He cringed and cried at the hit became harder each time the answer was wrong or half-assed. "I slept with a girl I barely knew and didn't even consider the consequences of that action or the action of lying to my parents."

By the 100th smack, he was a sniffling mess. I sighed and rotate the shoulder jeeze I used to be able to do 200 no problem. "Lay down and stay there till dinner." He nodded his head and was about to lay on his stomach and I look at him. "Nope on your back, you heard the doctor you can't apply any pressure to your chest."

He looked up at me as a tear started welling in his eyes. "But it will hurt laying on my back." I gave him a small smile. "That is the point Sasuke." I closed the door and walked out of the room before looking at Asuma he was sitting on the couch watching tv as he lived here.

"That took a while the kid is still stubborn as ever he gets that from you." I sighed slightly and looked at him for a moment before collapsing on the couch. I covered my eyes for a moment and looked at him as he passed me a bottle of sake.

"Well the kid is going to sleep till dinner and that isn't for what another couple of hours give or take so I guess I should tell you who he had been sneaking around with."

I looked at him and nodded my head my heart was racing but it wasn't out of fear but white-hot anger. "Just remember I just figured this out." I looked at him, whoever it was he knew that I wasn't going to take the news well.
