I do not own Naruto? And right now I’m not caring so much about the script already given ^_^ I make up my own script after all it Fanfiction!!! ^_^

There they were all sitting in silence, eating dinner. The tension in the room was so thick it could be cut with a knife, quite literally. Her father sat there not even having a word to exchange with his daughter and the daily small talk between mother and father had already been exchanged leaving nothing but silence. Looking at her mother she looked so stern and serious. Her mouth was pursed in looking as if she’d taken to chewing up her lips as well the rice in her bowl.
“Kanna eat more fish. It’s good for the growing process.” She uttered and then they settled back into silence. Kanna let her gaze drop to the fish on the table and all at once felt her stomach churn, much like it had the night the suspicion of her pregnancy had occurred.
“No thanks?” Kanna set her almost empty bowl of rice down and placed her chopsticks across the top. “I don’t think I can stomach more.” She pursed her own lips in for effect. “The food was delicious.” She took in a deep breath and sighed and looked to her parents once more, still neither looked at her. “I’m going upstairs” She picked up her place and continued on up to her room. All once while her left hand slid the door closed her right hand came up to cover her mouth silencing her soft sobs. The day had gone horribly wrong. She knew it , Jiro knew it and most of all her mother knew it. Perhaps it would’ve been a little better if not more perfect is SHE hadn’t shown up.

“Oh Maia is that you?” The all to high and mighty voice of the fish merchant, number one gossiper and once her mother’s best friend, Toshikazu Mina.
“Mina, how nice to see you.” Maia simply smiled portraying nothing more than kindness in her voice. Mina of course smiled back, although her smile looking less genuine. “I’m glad to see you can still walk with your head up with the rumors and whatnot.”
“Rumor? Mina are you gossiping about me again?”
“Oh well I didn’t’ start it this time.”
“Well, Pray tell? what have you been hearing about me this time?”
“Well? I don’t want to say aloud?” The fish woman said glancing around and waving Maia forward . “But I heard a rumor that your daughter has been doing some not-so-lady-like things?” At that point Kanna had thought it wise to step away. It was then she realized if this woman knew then EVERYONE had to know.
“You really are a brave one.” The voice of the fish woman’s daughter reached her ears.
“Excuse me?”
“Brave or dumb? I can’t tell which is which. I mean fooling around with those boys?” As soon as the words had left the girl’s mouth she had that sinking feeling.
“Boys?.?”
“Yeah? the ones you mess around with after bringing your father lunch. I hope you know which on is the father though.” The girl smiled weakly, apparently she hadn’t completely inherited her mother’s lack of tact.
“Ai, have you retrieved my book from Tokugawa-san?”
“Yes, mother. Good luck.” She rushed off leaving Kanna to face her mother who was now looking at her daughter, flame anew and intense staring right through her.

Immediately following the shopping her mother had grabbed her and dragged her to the other side of the wall. Many a time she had gone to the other side of the wall. Mostly dropping off lunch for her father and Midori’s father and returning home barely conversing with the boys. By time they got there her mother had been leading her by her elbow quite roughly? as if she were a five year old caught stealing and about to be exposed for what she’d done. After making it partway across the field they had been intercepted by a soldier who kept on about chakra training had already commenced and they couldn’t go further unless they wished to get injured. It was only then her mother let go of her and decided to make her way back to the house. As soon as her father made it in for the night he’d zeroed in on her. Apparently the boys rumor reached his ears and he’d begun making accusation throwing names at her. Of course her argument still stood?
‘There is no name to tell!!! I don’t know it. And what he did to me happened once!’ Nonetheless when you’re an even slightly rebellious fifteen year old you’re always lying. Because following her repeated statements her father visibly calmed ad said plainly.
“Listen? I will not harm him, he will just be man enough to take responsibility for what is done by becoming your husband.”
“I don’t think he is from here! I met him on my way home from the springs that night Lai declared I’ll never be good enough to marry. Things got ‘melty’ and hazy and?” She paused. “He?. He did things that hurt me.” She closed her eyes. In that instant her father stared at her with an odd sense of curiosity.
“What do you mean? “melty”?”
“Melty! Like? Like throwing a bucket of soap water against the window and watching the scenery become hazy and? it was if the world around me was sucking me into the earth and I tried to fight it but? I couldn’t and there were hands? hands all over.” She pursed her lips in trying desperately to blink back tears. Her father stood wordlessly and just left the room, unable to find words for it all. Once the door to her room had finally shut she gave way to tears remembering the pain she felt before a numbness settle over her. The way her mind drifted and fight left her all at once.

And thus was her eventful day. Shortly after her father had left her she’d been summoned down for dinner. As it was so plainly obvious to see, dinner hadn’t gone over too well. Even her brother Jiro had excused himself moments before her as the tension was making him more and more uneasy.
“So much trouble you are?” She poked her relatively small pooch that she knew would only grow with time. “But? I suppose it’s not your fault either?” She took in a deep breath and swallowed the tiny amount of saliva that gathered there to come to one conclusion? her throat was dry. “I suppose I ought to bring up some water for the evening?” She nodded to herself and made her way back downstairs to retrieve a cup. About halfway down she could hear her parents? bickering again? that seemed to have been all they did since they’d suspected the possibility of pregnancy with her consistent vomiting? the confirmation of such had only increased how much they did argue over time.
“But, Tazuki, if she loses it now it could be claimed as a misdiagnosis by the doctor and no one will have to know she really was.”
“But poisoning her food with that stuff.”
“It’s not poison!” Maia defended herself.
“It kills does it not?”
“The child, Tazu, not her!”
