(The next morning)
"Owww" Kakashi woke up rubbing the back of his head trying to sooth his headache. He slowly began to realize his apartment was in rambles.
"Sakura must have had an episode last night, probably because I was drunk" Kakashi thought. Suddenly there was a knock on his door.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei open the door!" Geez that kid is loud Kakashi thought.
"Come on Kakashi! Are you even alive or did Sakura beat the shit out of you to get you to sleep?"
"Come in Naruto, it should be open."
"Geez Kakashi what happened?" Naruto, Sasuke, Gai, and Sai walked in looking around the apartment that was in ruins.
"Well it looks like you two had fun, huh Kakashi-sensei" Sai added in. Kakashi only groaned in pain at his growing headache.
"Excuse me sonny." There was an old man in his doorway wearing large glasses, balding, walking with a cane, and was at least a foot shorter than Naruto.
"What can Kakashi do for you today sir" Gai asked kindly.
"Well, I was wondering if that little cutie petutie of yours was alright." The old man looked at him kindly.
"You mean Sakura-chan old man?" Naruto asked
"Yes, I heard some fighting last night and I was hoping everything was ok between you two. Blame an old man for sticking his nose in other peoples' business I suppose."
"Fight" Kakashi croaked "we didn't fight, I'm sure Sakura is at the hospital working her shift." Kakashi started getting worried. He knew he was a mean drunk, but he never thought he was that bad. Usually he never even got drunk. And when he did, he was usually coherent.
"Well it's just that I heard things breaking and crashing in the room; usually that girl throws things at the walls, so I assumed it was you making all the ruckus."
"Geez Kakashi, were you guys playing hard ball or something?" Sai joked in making Kakashi glare at him.
"Nonetheless, I heard her scream, so I looked out my window to see if I could hear better and I believe I saw you throw her out by her arm and hit the bars over here. He pointed to the metal bars on the ledge which had a large dent in them, like someone had crashed into them.
"I just wanted to know if she was alright, well I'll just be going now." He walked off leaving all the men in shock.
"I don't believe this!" Kakashi was beyond worried now, he couldn't believe he would do something like that to her, ever.
"Kakashi" Naruto's voice was low and there was no honorific added to his name "I think you hurt Sakura-chan last night." He pointed to the floor, where there seemed to be alcohol and blood mixed together on the floor. Kakashi couldn't breathe at the moment, he placed his face in his hand.
Suddenly, a woman was in the doorway, hands over her eyes. "Ok you guys I'm coming in, please, please, please! Put on some clothes."
"Come in Name-san" Kakashi rolled his eyes at her. He didn't blame her though, she did walk in on them doing position number 7. "What do you want?"
"Well I was just looking for Sakura-san, she didn't show up for her shift at the hospital, so I thought I might check here. I'm so worried about the girl, since she couldn't get much sleep with you gone. She was just so worried about you when you left, I thought she might have 'overslept' since you came home and all."
"I don't know where she is" He said sadly, "But I'm about to find out."
She left waving goodbye at the men in the room before disappearing.
Suddenly he flung off the covers and summoned his ninken.
"Hey Kakashi" It was Pakkun.
"I need you to find Sakura immediately! Once you find her, come back here, I need to go to her. If she is injured," he couldn't quiet say that word "try to help her out alright?"
"Ok Kakashi," Pakkun and the other dogs had never seen him this upset before, "we're going to find her. Don't worry." "Oh, and you wouldn't happen to know which direction she left in would you?" Kakashi shook his head no, unable to help any further with the subject.
"She went off in that direction" the old man was back, newspaper in hand, pointing south-east.
The ninken left quickly in that direction. Slowly, Kakashi got up to take a look at the damage to see if he could remember anything. He walked towards the table that had two, rather beat up presents on it. There was a cupcake on the floor.
Kakashi looked upset when he saw this, "She was going to give me an early birthday…" Kakashi could just feel his heart rench in pain. He sat cross-legged on the floor, he took the bigger present in hand and slowly opened it with unsure hands. It was a new kunai set! And edible whipped cream and a picture of them together under a tree. He couldn't take much more. He then saw the smaller box off to the side, it looked like a jewelry box for a necklace.
He undid the wrapping paper, and slowly lifted the box open. He held the thermometer like-thing in his hand for a moment, confused.
"Th-this is…." He gasped in shock gripping the pregnancy test in his hands. He balled up his fists covering his eyes.
"Kakashi, what is it?" Naruto eyed him strangely, he usually hid his emotions well, but he looked extremely upset.
All four of them looked at the table Kakashi was at and realized she was going to give him an early birthday.
"Hey! What's in your hand Kaka-sensei?" Naruto just had to ask didn't he? He tried to grab it but Kakashi's grip on it was too strong. Sasuke and Sai tried helping him get the object, and then WOOSH! All three landed on their backs, object in hand. They looked at it with curious eyes.
Their eyes almost popped out of their heads going into shock.
"YOU GOT SAKURA-CHAN PREGNANT!" All four of them were opening and closing their mouths unable to finish their sentence.
Kakashi place his back against the wall face in his hand, heaving with anxiety, unable to breathe properly. His face was in his hands, he couldn't believe what was happening right now, and it was all his fault.
They all looked at him, saddened by their friends' reaction. They were going to comfort him and try with all their might to be strong again, so he could face Sakura when the ninken came back. Their relationship wasn't going to be destroyed by this. They weren't going to let it happen.
(At Sakura's apartment)
Sakura heard scratching on her floor. Her head was currently under the blanket so she decided to take a peak. Pakkun's face was right in front of hers causing her to scream and roll off the futon.
Pakkun chuckled lightly while the other dogs were still sniffing her "kitchen" area with curiosity.
"Geez Pakkun, could you be anymore disruptive towards my day." She started to get up about to face him.
"Well Sakura, I'll have you know that –" suddenly his eyes became large and he couldn't finish his sentence.
"What's wrong Pakkun?" She looked at him curiously. All the other dogs started to stare at her unable to move.
She suddenly realized that she probably looked like a mess after last night. She shrugged her shoulders and walked to the bathroom. She looked at the mirror and gasped in horror at her reflection. Her hair was a mess, she was cut everywhere! The gash in her arm was still bleeding, and there was a fresh bruise on her face going from the apple of her cheek, down to her chin.
Suddenly she was surrounded by fur and tails.
"Don't worry Sakura we're here to help." While they were covering her with bandages, Pakkun sent off the fastest dog to go get Kakashi.
"Sakura" Sakura gave Pakkun her full attention, trying not to squirm. "Are you and the baby alright?"
She gasped for a moment "how did you know that Pakkun?"
"You smell slightly different Sakura-chan, but are you two alright."
"I believe so…"
"Sakura, please tell me you realize that this was all an accident. Kakashi isn't normally like that! He would never hurt you purposely in his life!"
" I no Pakkun, but I wont see him or talk to him unless he comes here! I no it was an accident, but I'm not going back to him or that place until he tells me he's sorry and wont ever drink like a fish again."
"I no for a fact he is going to do just that! Besides, you should have seen him this morning. I've never seen him this upset before in my entire life!"
It was quiet for a moment while, the other dogs practically dressed her up like a mummy from her head to the top of her torso.
"Pakkun" Sakura said a little unsure "Do you think…that um… Kakashi would um…like to have kids with me?" She looked down at the floor, seeming to want to cry at the thought of it.
"I no for a fact Sakura, that he would love to have pups with you. He cares about you a lot."
Sakura smiled softly touching her stomach gently.
"Well we better get going Sakura, Kakashi will be here soon." All she did was nod her head and wave goodbye to the dogs.
After about an hour she heard a knock on the door. "Here goes nothing" she thought desperately.
She opened the door quietly, peeking outside to see who it was. It was Kakashi, standing in the hallway, head down at the "so interesting" floor boards.
"Can I come in" He said quietly.
Sakura opened the door wider for him to come in. He looked around the room before turning his attention entirely to Sakura. He looked at her up and down. He fell to the floor on his knees. He knew his pride was going to take a serious hit for this, but he didn't care at the moment.
"Please forgive me Sakura! It was an accident last night! I don't think I could bare the thought of losing you and the baby. Please forgive me for my mistakes I made last night. I cant believe I hurt you like this!" He sounded as if he was about to cry. Sakura couldn't stand to see him this way she had to do something. "Please, please forgive me! I-I ." He had to give her that option.
"Kakashi, get off of the floor" he shook his head stubbornly, intent on continuing looking at the floor. "Please Kakashi, I forgive you. I understand that it was an accident, truly I do! But if you don't want to be with me anymore" (guilt trip! Hahaha go Sakura) "then what are me and this baby going to do with out its daddy. Considering you don't want to be with me anymore" She glanced at him slightly, noticing him stiffen.
Suddenly he leapt off the floor, holding Sakura in a tight hug, nuzzling his face into her hair.
"Thank you Sakura. I love you" She hugged him back tightly snuggling her face into his chest; he had apparently caught her bluff.
The other four were out her window staring at the scene from a tree they all smiled. Well at least Gai and Sai did. Sasuke was off in the corner of the tree so intent on the leaves, while Naruto had happy little anime tears running down his face (sorry idk T_T-like that?)
"Does this mean you'll come back with me at my apartment? I mean I can see you liking the nice view from the window (he had noticed them) and the food must be delicious here, but I do you think you could manage staying with me a little longer?"
"I could always manage staying with you forever."
"Well then let's get back home, and start setting up for the baby."
"Kakashi I'm only like, a month along!"
"Nonetheless Sakura-chan, we have to put at least one of your gifts to use today now don't we?" He gave her an evil gleam in his eye.
She giggled holding him tighter as he teleported them back to his apartment, only leaving a flurry of leaves behind.
I bet you could guess which present he wanted to use on her, huh? ;)
