The first thing I registered was my head pounding like I had had a night out on the town, which wasn't something I would do. The next thing I noticed was the searing light breaking there way through my eye lids adding to the already present headache. As I struggled to open my eye I noticed the reason why it was so bright, everywhere was white. immediately this set alarm bells of in my head. 'this isn't my home', 'white means hospital'. At this realisation my eye burst open and I went to sit bolt right up in bed before a spike of pain laced through me making me gasp and collapse back to the bed, eyes screwed shut.
A pair of footsteps quickly made there way towards me then nothing. I opened my eye to see a pink hair kunoichi leaning over me, concern spread across her face. "Now Kakashi sensei, you have been here enough times to know doing that isn't a good idea" said Sakura. At realising it was her relief spread across my face, followed with concern. "glad to see your safe Sakura..." I croaked out before a coughing fit sent another spasm of pain through me, I ignored it. "How is Narut-?" I went to ask before the sliding door to my room was opened and a certain blond haired ninja came leaping into the room. "KAKASHI SENSEI!" the blond bellowed before he went to make a flying hug at me, Naruto didn't even make it to the curtain by my bed before he was smacked down to the ground by an annoyed Sakura. "NARUTO, you know Kakashi is in no state for an entrance like that you idiot" Sakura scolded Naruto while he rubbed the area Sakura had punched. It was as Naruto was doing that that I noticed the cast on his arm and guilt washed through me. 'So they had gotten hurt'.
Team seven escaping Sai was on a mission to the rice country after a report of places within a village there being robbed. We expected a few brutes with more muscle than brains, what we didn't expect were rouge Ninja's from the hidden mist to ambush us. We had managed to take down three out of the five of them before one of them got me from behind sending my world black. The last thing I saw was Sakura on the ground and Naruto fighting the two of them.
Sakura brought me out of my thoughts another annoyed look on her face. "Kakashi have you even heard a thing I said?" she asked arms on her hips. I rubbed the back of my head smiling embarrassed "Sorry Sakura, what did you say?" I asked. Sakura sighed before she repeated what she had said. "When we were on the mission you got stabbed quite harshly through the stomach and lost quite a bit of blood..." she paused looking at my abdomen with a sad twinkle in her eyes. "Now a wound like that would keep you in here for a few weeks so we can make sure the healing is going well and you don't strain your self too much pulling out the stitches and wrecking all my hard work...normally" sakura said as I slowly raised myself into a sitting position. "Normally?" I repeated questioningly tilting my head to the side a bit, Sakura continued. "well I know how much you can't stand hospitals, so I arranged for you to be out of here when you woke up". My eye must have been the size of the moon at this and my face lighting up like a Christmas tree before Sakura cut in again. "However, there's a catch...you won't be at home we have other accommodation for you with another chunnin" Sakura said looking at me expectantly. There was a pause as I took in the information...before my face turned to one of shock."WHAT?"
