Because I can't sleep til you're next to me
No I can't live without you no more
Oh I stay up til you're next to me
Til this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia

Maybe it was the light playing tricks on Kakashi's eyes when his gaze fell back to the younger woman resting beneath the hospital sheets, made his stomach churn of the dark thoughts came up to mind. Blonde greasy hair was in lose braid, skin now a pale tone than the usual tan skin he was used to and lips chapped from not drinking for weeks. Yet she was still beautiful in his eyes, sighed in relief as her chest rose and lowered with each breath she took. It was good sign she was slowly recovering quickly from the poisons effect and the fox now was able to counter it out of her system.

But observing the coma patient in front of him, didn't take away the urge to kiss the tempting lips and nuzzle the girl's neck to release the ache he felt to touch the minx sleeping away the days.

Guilt rose on his already heavy conscious mind, reminding him the age gap between the two was something to consider now that he found had time on hand. Yet he pushed those dark thoughts to a corner of his mind and took the small pale hand that wasn't connected in wires in his own. Gave small squeeze, hoping that she would finally open her eyes.

It had taken him hours to be left alone with Natsumi after everyone kept trying to visit the energetic blonde they loved...yet it took him weeks to even be in the same room with the said girl.

'May the gods finally take pity on me now. I'm not damn moving from this room till you wake up Natsumi. ' he thought darkly, from the corner of his eye he could see nurses checking in the room and eying him in observations by Tsunade's orders. Sent a dark glare to the nurse, watched in amusement as the brunette shut the door in fear of the copy nin's glare. "I'm not leaving, Natsumi. You won't wake up alone." giving the small hand light, comforting squeeze, and opened a familiar orange book.

"What do you mean I can't in the same room with her?" growled out the silver hair man through clenched teeth, staring at his superior who also was glaring down at him disapprovingly.

"You heard him Hatake. Natsumi can't be visited for a few days or more because her body defenses are too low to protect her from getting infections. The fox's chakra is sealed away by special seals no one here recognizes because of those missing bastards and Jiraiya will be coming back to fix the problem to speed her recovery." brown eyes narrowed at the middle aged man as he tugged back his hair in frustration. "I suggest you go and rest."

Kakashi shook his head, "No, I'll stay here in the hallway. If I can't in the room with her than I'll watch her from here but I refuse to let her out of my sight." stubbornly leaned back on the wall facing the window where Natsumi rested in. Tsunade held back the urge to pound her fist upon the stubborn male's thick head in front of her, yet turning to where the sleeping blonde was connected in machines and IV's she could somewhat understand his reasoning.

Till she saw the way his eyes viewed her adopted grandchild in what seemed to be a deep longing like a dog would miss being by its master's side and felt protectiveness spring up. "If I refuse to let you stay in the hospital?" saw mismatched eyes glance at her boringly.

"I'll find a way to hurt myself and be brought back in the hospital building. As I stated before, I'm not leaving her side, no matter if its an order by you Hokage-sama." onyx eye returned back to the moaning Uzumaki as uniformed nurses inside fixed the wires on her body. Held himself back, sending a thank you to his father for his self discipline teachings as he wished he could go inside the room and comfort the young woman.

"You know your relationship with gaki won't last Kakashi." Tsunade smirked at the man seeing his shoulders stiffen yet made no comment to her statement. "She's too young and naïve to be settling down with a man whose baggage is something one has to consider. I suggest you stand back and let Natsumi find someone around her own age to settle down with."

Started walking away, "If you mean to tell me that she will settle down with any of those foolish boys around her than you're sadly mistake, Tsunade." onyx eye glared down at the hokage's surprised expression morph into fury by his next comment. "I'll be the one she will go to. I'll be the one she'll stay with so keep your dirty schemes away from her."

"I hardly doubt it Hatake. We'll see how you fare on winning my gaki's heart because every heart changes overtime. Even she will have a change in heart." the warning clear to the silver hair jonin but he stood his ground, watching the older blonde disappear down the hallway. His gaze fell back to the blonde fighting against the odds, felt his insides tighten as pain marred Natsumi's face.

"I believe in you." he whispered through the thick glass barrier, and quietly hoped the toad sannin would hurry to arrive. With hands clenched in his pockets, he could only pray Natsumi's body wouldn't fall back in recovery...

"How is she doing Kakashi-sensei?" looking up to meet green troubled eyes on the other side of the bed. Felt himself relax seeing the medic nin in front of him, gave an eye-smile at her.

"Sleeping the days away. But I felt her squeeze my hand few days ago so she's slowly coming back to us." the silver hair took pride on the blonde's squeeze made Sakura smile sadly at the older man in front of her. Taking an empty seat she too looked at the blonde, hoping she would wake up from the month and half coma she had been stuck in.

"What do you think Natsumi will do once she wake up?" Sakura tried to make a conversation in the silent room, heard cloths shift and didn't comment on the way Kakashi seem to search for the hand he released when he saw her and hold on to it in reassurance.

"I've been thinking that myself, but she'll probably want a long shower instead of those lousy sponge baths. Maybe she'll want to eat ramen to her hearts content and go straight back to pranking everyone to get her title of prankster kunoichi known once more." Sakura stayed silent, felt a little jealous on how her sensei's voice spoke in prideful tone about the sleeping woman before them.

Glancing at the medical clipboard on the side of the bed, knew her answer of seeing the prankster they loved wouldn't be rushing back on her feet even if she did rose from this predicament. Muscles would be weak from non-use and her stomach wouldn't be taking any food for a small time as they had to reintroduce it to solid foods again. Yet when her emerald eyes peaked at the jonin, she could only hope Natsumi would realize what the man had been through just to stay on her side.

Sakura gave Kakashi a small smile, "She'll wake up sensei."

Kakashi took his eyes off of Natsumi to face the pink haired girl, "I know she will, Sakura. We all know she will. We just have to wait." smiled underneath his mask to the woman he vowed to win her heart.

'Just come back home, you silly girl.'
