Sakura woke up with a start. A nightmare was what made her make a small scream, soft enough not to make people wake up. Yesterday, she suddenly came in this world after the battle with everyone. That was her nightmare. At the moment she was at the hospital.
"Good morning." A young man said. He was her roommate in the very white room. He had light blue, almost grey hair. He was a injured chunin. Yesterday night, when they talked she found out that his name was Kai.
"Yep." Sakura smiled, nodding at him. A nurse came in with a clipboard and two younger ones came in with breakfast for herself and Kai. They handed a tray to each and all three left. Kai turned to her, applesauce in hand.
"Why'd they have three people id they only needed one?" He asked. Sakura's smile widened.
"You don't go here a lot, do you?" He shook his head and began eating, still staring at Sakura. "The younger ones are probably new here and the older one is teaching them what they need to do." The next few minutes were in silence as the two ate, Kai faster than Sakura. As he finished, Kai bgan to speak.
"So, why do you know so much?" He asked, looking really curious. "What do you read a lot or something?"
Sakura turned to him, thinking of what to say. "I guess..." She replied, slowly. "And my aunt used to work at a hospital." She added quickly and just as quickly finished her food. A nurse, one of the younger ones from before, came in the room and took the plates. As she was leaving, a commotion came from the hallway, grabbing all three's attention.
"Huh?" The young nurse quietly breathed out and opened the door. She poked her head out and quickly put it back in, pale.
"What?" Kai asked confused.
"Probably there are some more patients. Ninja who were injured. By the looks of her," Sakura motioned to the nurse. "they were seriously injured..." She hoped it wasn't somebody she knew.
"Ah..." It was silent for a few more minutes as the noise grew quieter. The nurse stepped out finally.
"Bye." She nodded her head towards the two quietly. Sakura smiled at her, as did Kai, but he did it wider. The nurse shut the door and her footsteps also grew quiet.
"Geez, why is she a nurse?" Kai rambled on. "Can't even handle blood. Too shy."
"Well, some people are like that... I was once."
"What?"
"I-I mean! When I was visiting my aunt, I wouldn't like being in the hospital!" Sakura said a little too quickly. Kai nodded, obviously not finding the lie in her words. He picked up a scroll that was on the night stand next to him and began reading. "What's that?"
"A mission scroll."
"But your still in the hospital..."
"I get out today at lunch and go on this at sunset."
"Ah..." Again the silence over took them for an hour and that's when Sakura's parents came.
"Hello, Sakura-chan!" Her father poked his head in a slit between the wall and the door. He smiled, being creepy which in turn made Kai try to back more towards the wall. Her mother pushed the door more opened and pulled her father in with her. Sakura's mother sat in the chair next to Sakura's bed and her father stood.
"Your going to be coming home with us." Her mother said, smiling. A doctor came in with a small syringe.
"Alright, Sakura. We are just going to take a blood sample and you can be on your way." The doctor said. He poked it in Sakura's arm and soon blood filled the syringe. Kai clucked his tongue in distaste and turned his head back to the scroll. The doctor left, leaving Sakura's clothes on the bed. Her parents left for a few minutes to talk to the doctor, closing the curtain between her and Kai.
"So... what was wrong with you?" Kai asked in a curious tone. Shuffling of paper, and the bed creaked.
"I'm not certain of it myself..." Sakura replied. She knew something weird happened and this couldn't be a dream so what. She changed quickly out of the hospital clothes and into her normal blue shirt and tan pants. The clock chimed 12. Kai's bed creaked again.
"Well then, bye Sakura." He said, moving the curtain back again and smiling. Sakura waved and he left the room. Sakura sighed and laid back in the bed.

An hour later Sakura was standing in her old house. At the moment she was watching her mother, in the kitchen. Her mother was making lunch.
"How are you felling, honey?" Her mother asked, hesitantly. Sakura stared at her for a second and smiled.
"Good, you?"
"Great." The front door opened at this moment and Sakura's father stepped through it. Little Naruto stood behind him, watching Sakura shyly.
"H-hi, Sakura-chan." Naruto said. He walked towards Sakura and gave her a flower. Nothing special and she could tell it wasn't bought. She smiled at him, as did her parents.
"Hi and thank you, Naruto." Now he smiled at her. He was shy again a second later, staring everywhere, but her.
"U-um, Sakura-chan... Do you wanna go... play with me?" He asked, blushing and staring at the ground. Sakura stood from the chair she was sitting on and nodded.
"What do you want to play?" She asked, leading the excited, blushing boy ot the front door again.
"Uh... How 'bout ninjas?" He said as the door started closing.
"Sure." The door shut and Sakura's parent stared at each other.
"Kids..." Her father said shaking his head. Her mother smiled widely.
"So cute!"
