Chapter 1- weakness
"I'm sorry." Asuma's voice was just above a whisper
"Why?" I ask
"For not being able to protect you."
"No one could've known all the prisoners would've escaped."
"It's not that," His eyes glued to the ceiling "you were hurt because I was too weak to protect you."
His eyes slowly meet mine, "you could've died because I wasn't strong enough, because I didn't think."
"But you did," I argued back "without you we would've all been worse of or even died!"
His eyes were still locked to mine
"Asuma, I will not watch you sit over there and beat yourself up for nothing you had control over. You did what you were trained to do which was to fight and protect us, and that's what you did." I gave a slight smile
"How bad are you hurt?" His eyes never leaving mine
"What, I'm fine, no need t-…"
Asuma cut in, "How bad are you hurt?"
"Some scrapes and bruises." I said
"What else?" his voice stayed the same tone
"A bruised hip and a couple of broken ribs. But really I am fine Asuma." I put on the brightest smile I could come up with
"How can you say that, you will be out for another 2 days at least!" His eyes all blazed up
"Asuma stop!"
"Every scrap and bruise I got was not your fault! It was because I, not you, was not fast enough to move in time, or strong enough to block the attack." I gave him the look of this is the end of the matter
He turned back to looking at the ceiling without a word. Soon no matter how hard I tried sleep took me.
(^*^)
Morning awoke me with the sounds of birds, almost making me forget the conversation me and Asuma had last night. Fear struck me as I looked over to find his bed empty, despite the protests of my creaking body I stumbled my way out into the hall. Quickly nurses helped me back into my room, and sat me down.
"Where is he?" I point to the empty bed
"Let's see," say the closest nurse to my left "Mr. Sarutobi left this morning."
"I have to go find him."
"You still have another 2 days, if not longer, your body still needs to heal." The nurse gave me a final smile then left
"Why did he leave?"
My mind raced for the answer, I couldn't think of any reason except of our conversation last night. I looked through the window of my room hoping that where ever he was, he wasn't doing something stupid because of me.
So this was the first chapter of the story!
Tell me what you guys think!
I already have the next chapter written, so if you liked chapter 1, you will like chapter 2 even better!
I like comments, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Best wishes to all
