I smooth out the rim of Sai's hospital bed. My eyes wander up to his unconscious face. So serene. So beautiful.

I hear footsteps approach this room. I, being alert, stand up. I stare directly at Naruto when he glances in, as if to be aware of something.

Come to think of it…isn't he supposed to be in this room too?

ANYWAYS! I feel the blush creep onto my cheeks as I realized I stared at him too long, damn am I shy.

"Hi there, Naruto." I greeted.

"Don't tell Sakura I wasn't in bed! She'll kill me!" Naruto shouted.

His arms flailing around as he tries to persuade me. Then again, why would he try to persuade me? Idiot…

I sigh.

"Sure Naruto, this secret is between us and Sai, of course!" I promised.

We share a chuckle, but as soon as it comes, it's over.

"What are you doing out of bed Naruto?" Sakura questioned.

"Nothing! The door was locked so I opened it for Yuri here." Naruto said rushfully..

Naruto fidgets towards me as Sakura notions towards me for the truth.

"Yeah. I appreciate the help, Naruto!" I said.

I get distracted as I see Sai moving a little. I quickly rush over to his bad and grab his left hand.

"Sai-kun, Sai-kun! Are you okay?" I said.

"Yeah…I'm fine." Sai said.

Flashing his ever soooooooooo creepy smile right afterwards.

But I'm really so relieved…
