Don't own a single thing. ''Light the way''belong to Damien Saez.And incoming slaughter of English because I'm just a English-learning French girl. Feel free to point out my many mistakes.

Warning: weirdo ahead. I've drawn a picture of this character in an hospital bed. And this came with.It's coming on its own from the depth of my brain… so consider yourself warned.

Note: I've found that some of the points I've wrote in this story are oddly similar to 'Bittersweet' by I-don't-remember-who on the ScarecrowXdolphin community. I'm sorry if it will look a bit alike your work but I promise I've begin to write this before I've read your story ( which one I like a lot by the way).

To Carcinya (Isolde1) and Nezuko. Thank you for your wonderful stories ( et l'aide avec la traduction!).


Something is wrong.

That was the very first thought that crossed his mind, even before he paused a second to register where he was. Or tried to. His head was feeling like one of those big, fluffy and painless cloud, that were lazily grazing in the bright blue skies behind the window, had elected home between his ears.

So, something was wrong, but he couldn't make himself care. He couldn't focus on anything right now, not with all those clouds in his head.

He could not feel anything, but it was fine, really.

His eyes were open, and he was staring at whatever was behind the window, though he was not seeing anything. That was fine too. He did not mind.

All was white.

But he did not mind the white either.


It must be later he thought. All was still white, but he couldn't see the sky anymore.

How did I end up here ? he wondered. Where is 'here' anyway?

It seemed he could think a little more easily. He was still having troubles however at getting where he was, or feeling how he was.

There were noises. Smalls and regulars noises next to him, sudden, brief and irregulars ones further away. Voices.

His brain registered all that thoughtlessly, training taking the lead – hearing, registering, analyzing without the need of his mind.

He could not make himself pay attention to the answers drawn by this part of his brain.

All was white.

The feeling of his body came back when the clouds returned to the sky.

He felt his head, his heavy, steadily pounding clouded head, turned slightly to his right – toward the window.

He felt that he was laying on his back.

He felt his left arm, resting unusually heavy on his abdomen; his right one, abandoned on his side; his legs, as if disconnected from the main part of his body.

He felt all that with this part of brain which worked automatically.

He could not make himself try to recall what had happened – it must had happened something, right? – neither put the finger on what was wrong. Nor put a name on where he was for all that mattered.


He must had only close his eyes a little moment, because the light was nearly the same. Though he could feel his body a little better. Not that he wished to. He did not know why, just that he did not want to feel his body with acute perceptions right now. There was a discreet but persistent tingling into his limbs he knew was there, at the edge of his consciousness, going slowly on its way.

The feeling of wrong-ness came back.

But he could not get why he was having this feeling. Neither why he was there. Nor what happened for him to end up 'there' wherever there was.

Damn clouds.

Painkillers his brain supplied helpfully.

Right there. Painkillers. Greats amounts of. Damn painkillers.

His eyes traveled from the unseen window to what was around.

White. White walls. White painting. White ceiling. All was white. White-hospital.

Okay there. He was in a hospital. It explained the regular beeping – monitor – and the irregular noises. It explained the painkillers clouding his mind. It explained a little why he was here – must have been injured or something on a mission, right ? But it did not do anything about how he ended here. He could not remember. But he did not care.

I just hope 'here' is Konoha.


My, my, this is awfully short...I leave you wonder at who 'he' is. It wouldn't be fun otherwise.

If I've made huge mistakes which can't be left running without punishment, please tell me so I will not do them in the future!

Thanks for reading.
