Ch 5: Rest is Needed

"Who the hell are you anyways?" Kakashi narrowed his eyes. No one had called him Bakashi since Obito. Hearing it from someone else made it sting. So did hearing him say Rin's name. He idly wondered how he knew her. But any answer he gave would probably upset him.

"Obi-" Obito winced. No! He couldn't use his real name. "Tobi. Tobi Uchiha." He forced himself to let go of Kakashi's hand. "There...you should be good for those bandages now."

Kakashi gave him a nod. But he was looking at him suspiciously now. Obito cursed in his head. He should have just left well enough alone. Now Kakashi was going to figure him out! Luckily though the screen had regained Kakashi's focus before Obito could get questioned more.

"No." Sakura denied her emerald eyes having lost their light as she stared at the cold hearted man.

Fugaku glared at the screen. Who the hell did this girl think she was keeping him from his own son? Where'd she get cold hearted from? He was there in the middle of the night wasn't he? A truly cold hearted person wouldn't have gone at all. Fugaku did not like this medical ninja he decided. Not one bit.

"Sakura..." Ino was surprised by her old friend. She'd never seen that look in Sakura's eyes before. It was as intimidating as it was terrifying. If it was anyone other than Sasuke's father standing before her they would be cowering.

"Oh man. This is such a drag. I almost don't want to watch." Trouble was Shikamaru didn't have anything else to really focus on. Oh well at least it wasn't boring.

"Shikamaru, this is really scary. Why won't she just let his dad in the room?" Choji was shaking with fear.

"How should I know?" He complained eyes narrowing at the screen. Though really now that Choji had asked he was wondering what her reasoning might be. He didn't know much about Sasuke. Knew even less about his home life. Maybe his teammate knew something everyone didn't. His hands went to their strategy position. Something was going on.

The pinkette's body stood firmly in the doorway to her boys' shared hospital room. Her gaze hardened. None of their so called loved ones would be getting in. That was absolute. Her boys had suffered enough because of their families. She wanted to punch the Uchiha clan leader in the face and send him flying through the next three walls. Anything to distance him away from the broken boy who'd purposefully twisted his face away from the door. Fugaku didn't care about Sasuke. He didn't deserve to see Sasuke. He never payed attention to him. Not unless it was to tear him down or compare him to his brother.

Shikamaru narrowed his eyes at the screen. Now the Nara didn't like the guy, never had, but he was growing concerned for the Uchiha in his class. He couldn't help it. It was just the type of guy he was. What kind of a father didn't pay attention to his kid? What kind of man didn't care for his son? Shikamaru wasn't a father, he was way too young for that, but his own father raised him well enough. These were Sakura's thoughts so he took them with a grain of salt. But the on screen Sasuke, his body language alone was alarming. If he was in Sasuke's place, lying in bed injured even if his dad had tried to break up inoshikacho for whatever reason, and they'd gotten into a big fight, Shikamaru knew he'd at the very least look him in the eye. Glare maybe. Sasuke was famous for his glares. But Sasuke couldn't even look at the guy. The Uchiha was more than man enough to. He had to be looking away for another reason. But what? Sakura wasn't the type of girl, violent and scary as she was, to actively want to punch someone without cause. She was much too polite. She never did that unless provoked. There was more to this, more for Sasuke to be upset about than his team getting broken up, but what?

Mikoto glared at the screen her open palm rested over her husbands clenched fist. How dare this girl say such things about her husband. Fugaku didn't deserve to be sent flying in such a way. Who was this girl to dictate whether or not they got to see their son? He was injured! Of course they deserved to see him. How could she say that her husband didn't care? They were his parents. It was something that should go without question. She turned her gaze to the Sakura in the audience. She'd requested Sasuke come sit with them earlier. Naruto had thrown a tantrum in response. Kushina used to throw those too when she wouldn't get her away. Typical that her friends son would act the same. Mikoto was unafraid as she decided to fetch Sasuke herself.
