Shisui was enjoying the sunny afternoon weather, sitting on his apartment balcony. It had been a while since he did that, as he spent most days at Anko's place. But Shisui thought both Anko and Tadashi needed to spend a few days without him, now that Anko was back from her mission. Well, she had been back for about a week, but it was now that Shisui realized he could give them some space.

Shisui was working for the next few days except for today. So after cleaning his apartment, watering the plants that were too often forgotten and training with Itachi, all he had to do was read a book under the sun rays. Except that this was cut short as the landline phone rang. He sighed, but got up. He recognized the Academy's number, and got confused for a second. Since when did they have his phone number? Perhaps Tadashi gave them if they didn't get a hold on Anko first? Shisui answered the phone, worried that something happened to him.

"Hello Mr. Uchiha," a woman said. "We're contacting you as we've been told Mitarashi Anko is in a meeting. She recently listed you as an emergency contact for her son Tadashi."

Oh, she did? Anko must have forgotten to mention it.

"Is Tadashi sick or injured? I'm available. If he needs me, I can come right away."

"He is physically alright. However, he and some of his comrades got into a fight with children in third and fourth year."

As Shisui heard the woman's words, he started fuming. But before he could even place a word, she kept going:

"The principal would like to meet you and explain the events. Tadashi will also need to go back home for the rest of the day."

"Tadashi is not the type of person who gets in a fight just for the sake of it, something must have happened!" Shisui immediately defended Anko's son. "Are you going to tell me anything more or just that he's suspended and that's it?"

"I'm afraid you'll have to speak with the principal to know more about the situation. I've not been made aware of the details."

Shisui did not have any time to lose, then. He could be in the principal's office in five minutes, and he would be there in no more time than that. He thanked the woman for calling him, and ran to get his shoes and coat.

He had barely passed his apartment door when he saw Sasuke walking up the stairs of the apartment complex.

"Good to see you, Sasuke, but I'm in a hurry for something!"

He knew that the boy was here to visit him. None of his close family lived in this complex.

"Oh, that won't be long, I just wanted to congratulate you."

"Uh?"

"For the baby," Sasuke whispered. "Your girlfriend kind of had to tell us when we were on the mission last week. I assume she told you about it."

"Wait, what? No, has something happened?

"You don't have to worry, everything is fine, but she asked Sakura to check on her at some point, that's all. Everybody is in good health. I didn't mean to scare you, I thought she told you that we knew."

Shisui was not entirely sure Sasuke was honest. He had a feeling something had happened, and this was why Anko had not even mentioned that his friends and three other people knew about their secret.

"I don't have time to discuss and I really have to go, but we will talk soon about this, ok?" Shisui told Sasuke.

Shisui arrived at the Academy a few minutes later. He remembered where the principal's office was from his days there, even though it had been a long time since he last visited the Academy. In the corridor leading to the office, chairs were set in groups of two or three, with a few meters of distance between each group of chairs. Quickly, Shisui could recognize the grandson of the Third Hokage, who was sitting by himself. There were two kids and their parents that Shisui did not recognize. And not too far from Tadashi were the daughter of the Hyuuga clan head, as well as her blind blind cousin. They were sitting with their fathers, and the guide dog was resting next to his master's chair. Shisui wouldn't have been able to tell Hiashi and Hizashi apart if they hadn't been talking to their children, which made it obvious. Shisui immediately went in the direction of Tadashi and sat on the chair next to him.

"Are you okay, Tadashi?" was the first thing Shisui asked.

He did not care what happened as long as Anko's son was uninjured.

"I'm not really hurt. Nothing that a bandage can't fix. The nurse made sure we were alright earlier."

Shisui nodded, relieved.

"What happened? They told me you got in a fight, did you get in a fight with these guys?" Shisui said, pointing at the Hyuuga and Sarutobi children. "I thought they were your friends?"

"No, not them. Third and fourth-year students. We may have sent them to the infirmary… And umm… we're not really allowed to talk right now about what happened because the principal is meeting us one at a time to make sure we're all telling the same story."

As Tadashi said that, a Yamanaka boy - Shisui believed he was the clan head's son - left the principal office with his mother. The principal looked at Shisui and Tadashi, and gestured to them to follow him to his office. As both Tadashi and Shisui sat at the office, Tadashi started explaining.

"The third and fourth-year students were mocking Amaya because she's blind and they wouldn't stop no matter what we said so I punched the one who seemed to be leading, which started the fight."

Shisui could not show it, because Tadashi had been involved in a fight and it was not good, but he was so proud of him for defending his friend.

"Violence does not solve issues. The other students were quite injured, Tadashi," the principal said. "For that reason, you will be suspended for the remainder of the day."

"It's unfair, sir! I only defended my friend! Had they not said anything, we wouldn't have gotten into a fight and they wouldn't have been injured. They asked for it!"

Shisui had not seen the scene, but he agreed. He decided to say something.

"While I agree it might not have been the best solution and that you have to condemn the fight, can we also agree that bullying is also punishable?" he told the principal. "Surely those older kids will have consequences for their actions too?"

Tadashi seemed unhappy with the intervention. Shisui realized Tadashi probably thought he could get away with it completely.

"I have not heard everyone's version of the story, so for the moment I cannot say. But for now, considering Tadashi's involvement in injuring a fellow student, I don't have any other choice but to suspend him for the day. Those are the rules."

He heard Tadashi sighing.

"Mom is going to kill me."

"She won't, she loves you too much for that. Do you want me to talk to her first?" Shisui suggested.

The boy nodded.

As they stood up from the chairs, the principal said that Tadashi needed to apologize to the student he injured.

"Only if he apologizes to Amaya first!"

Shisui smirked, and was happy to see the principal nod to the request.
