'Is this what death feels like…. the pains gone'
"Is…..responding?"
"Well…..was dehydrated….we came,"
"Do you….she'll come around….maybe we….late,"
Broken conversations shattered the silence in the blackened abyss. I wanted to cry out, only to find my voice wouldn't work. Therefore, I tried to follow the conversations, making myself nauseous in the process.
'Please, I can hear you…notice me…help me'
I hated not being able to do anything. Yet my body would not respond, so I laid there. It was then that a pressure on my hand brought me from my desperate thoughts. The pressure was so warm and comforting; it made me want to cry.
"Can you hear me miss….its time to wake up from slumber land," the voice was so reassuring, that I tried my hardest to open my eyes. Next thing I know, a bright light is blinding me.
I groaned, quickly shutting my eyes hiding from the horrid light. I heard a chuckle, "don't worry it'll take your eyes a few moments to adjust," the same kind voice. I wanted to see his face no I had to. I hated not seeing a face to go with his voice.
Deciding to give it another shot, I opened my eyes again. Only this time I blinked several times allowing my eyes to adjust. "That's good, now how do you feel," he said looking down at me.
I could feel my face heating up. His face was framed by locks the color of freshly fallen snow. He was also pail, definitely different then how I pictured the people of Suna.
For some odd reason I couldn't take my eyes off of his. I felt as if I was being drawn into an endless void. His eyes were the deepest darkest blue I had even seen. I opened my mouth to speak, yet nothing came out. My face turned into a frown, why couldn't I speak.
'Had I lost my voice for good….what would he think if I could no longer talk'
"Don't worry, you've been asleep for several days now, so it might take a while to get control of your body," he said smiling sincerely. I frowned deeper and tried again; I refused to give up.
However, once more the same thing happened, nothing. I could feel the tears building in my eyes. As the tears began falling, his smile turned into a scowl.
"Look, if you're going to cry about it, then you shouldn't have gotten yourself lost in the desert," the seriousness in his voice began to melt away as he reached up and wiped a tear away.
He sighed rubbing the back of his head. "I'm no good at being serious," he mumbled slightly depressed. "I'm Doctor Keiichi at your service and you are…" he paused slapping his forehead.
Reaching in his pocket, he pulled out a small notebook. "Here you can use this to write in, until you get your voice back of course," he grinned happily. His smile just seemed to melt all the tension away.
'I can't tell him who I really am, if they knew they'd kill me or worse'
I shuttered before pushing the dark thoughts away. Shyly I grabbed the pen and notebook from his hand. "My name is Nanami Takahiro," I jotted down, before handing it to him.
Keiichi smiled, "that's a pretty name Nami-chan," he said making me blush. "So you wanna tell me why you were out in the desert?" he questioned curiously. I took a deep breath before writing my lie.
"I was traveling and decided to take a trip to Suna…but I got lost and ran out of food and water," squeezing the pen, I looked down embarrassed. "I see," he muttered, before smiling. "Don't feel bad Nami-chan I nearly died too when I first came to Suna," he laughed remembering the time.
I raised my eyebrow curious; he caught my look and began explaining. Quietly I listened, and before I knew it, an hour had passed. His newest story however was interrupted by a knock at the door.
At the door was a very pretty nurse. "What can I do for you nurse-san," he questioned smile sweetly. She went crimson, "Keiichi-sensei you are needed, I was sent to get you," she said shyly.
He turned towards me, "well it seems I'm needed Nami-chan, we'll have to finish later k," he waved, leaving the room. I looked around the room bored, before deciding I couldn't lay in the bed any longer.
Throwing off the covers, I sat up and stood up. Shaky at first, I took a step regaining my balance. Slowly I walked over to the window and pushed it open. I smiled when the warm breeze caressed my face.
"I've finally made it' my face hardened. 'I can't forget the true reason I'm here'
I sighed, closing the window resting my head against it. With Keiichi gone, all my worries and anxiety came back. I bit my lip trying to push those feelings away. I walked over to the door and pushed it open, peaking out.
I wanted to see him again, to have him erase those awful feelings. I began cursing, what kind of ninja needs the support of others. I wanted to cry…he would definitely be disappointed in me.
I continued down the hallways searching for Keiichi-sensei. I stopped when I heard his voice, just around the next corner. I went to go but froze, he wasn't alone.
"Have you figured out why she's here?" a gruffly voice asked. "She just woke up, what do you expect Daisuke, I am a doctor after all, I'm not going to integrate her," Keiichi growled annoyed.
The blood in my body went cold, were they talking about me. The tone of Keiichi's voice startled me; he didn't seem like the type to get angry. I wanted to run away and forget what I heard, but my body refused to move.
"You've gone soft, the Keiichi I know wouldn't hesitate," he said frustrated. By the different voices, I could tell there were two men with Keiichi. "You can make grown men tell their deepest secrets, so just hurry up and get hers," the younger man of the two said impatiently.
"Remember who you work for Keiichi, the kazekage won't be happy if you fail," Daisuke warned. "I know, you don't have to lecture me," Keiichi said darkly. I put my hands on my mouth to keep from gasping.
Quietly I began backing away; not wanting to be caught. When I thought I was far enough away, I bolted. Why had I ever thought he was kind, no one really is. I was so stupid; I let my guard down and tried to trust him. Sasori-sama was right, I shouldn't ever trust anyone.
