Okay, my second chapter! While writing this, I got the feeling that it sucked, so I would really appreciate it if you would tell me what you thought! I'm sorry about the whole hospital thing, but I really dont know what they call it! Please review!

Don't Forget I'm Watching You…
2. What IS that Hospital Called?
As usual, the village of Konohagakure was bustling with people.
All sorts of people, their individual voices all mixing together to form the most out of tune orchestra imaginable.
I'd imagine that you would know what this sounded like, and that you'd also know that you'd have a hard time thinking in crowds of this size.
So I'd also imagine that you'd know what team seven was going through as far as thinking was concerned.
To put it bluntly: they weren't.
Team seven walked past the crowed, and continued their trek to the hospital, the unconscious girl still draped over Kakashi's shoulder.
"Aw man! Kakashi-sensei? Can we stop? I'm hungry!" Naruto said suddenly, breaking the group's silence.
It was then that a realization dawned on them. It was a little past noon, and, even though they didn't want to admit it, they were hungry. Sakura's stomach growled like it hadn't had anything in it for days, which was true, because Sakura was on her so-called 'diet'. Sasuke was hungry, but his stomach didn't make any sounds, because it, like every other organ in his body, was just too cool for that. Kakashi really couldn't care less whether he was hungry or not, but if his team happened to die from starvation…that wouldn't look good on his reputation now would it?
So team seven decided to do the seemingly logical. They went to the ramen shop. And ordered ramen. And ate it.
And what did they do with the unconscious girl? Well, they ordered her ramen too of course.
"Hey, Kakashi-sensei? Are you sure the girl's gonna be alright??" Naruto asked between bites of ramen.
"Oh, yeah, sure, sure, of course..." Kakashi trailed off, currently reading his 'Make-out paradise' books. He glanced at the slumped-over body at the table beside him.
"She just needs to eat!"
He patted her back, which made the body slump forward, directly into the bowl of ramen laid out in front of it. There was a gurgle. Then silence.
Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi all looked at her. And looked. There was no movement.
"Uh…I think we should go now…" Kakashi remarked quickly, getting up from the table. Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke followed his gesture. They all stood up, and pretty much got out of there. Naruto dashed out, Sakura speed walked past the girl, trying her best not to look at her. Kakashi was already outside. And we all know what Sasuke did. Since he was too cool for dashing or speed walking, he simply walked out, looking like he hadn't seen an unconscious and now probably drowning body sitting directly across from him.
And, once Sasuke joined the group outside, team seven left.
The table that had been occupied by team seven was quickly taken by two men, around their mid twenty's. One of the men sat beside the body.
The man looked over at her. "So, how's life?" He asked her, failing to notice that she was unconscious and drowning in a bowl of soup. Of course, there was no answer from the person beside the man.
"That rough huh? I get ya." He said, and then went back to eating.
"Gai-sensei, can we stop yet? I'm getting hungry." A brown-eyed brown-haired girl asked her sensei.
"Of course we can! Anything for my wonderful team, isn't that right Lee?" The girl's black-eyed, jumpsuit wearing sensei answered with great enthusiasm.
"Yes Gai-sensei!" shouted an equally enthusiastic and almost complete look-alike Rock Lee.
"Good! Now, where shall we stop to eat? Lee, Neji, Tenten, do you have any ideas?" Gai said, and looked over at his students.
"Anywhere you go, I will follow Gai-sensei!" Rock-lee exclaimed, clenching his fist with determination.
"Hn." Was all that Neji said, because he currently wasn't rambling on about destiny.
"Well, I could go for some ramen…" Tenten commented truthfully.
"Ramen! An excellent idea Tenten!" Gai said, smiling. "Let's go!"
And with that, team Gai took off to the ramen restaurant.
Team seven stood in a clearing, panting.
"Whew…I think were far enough away from her now…" Sakura gasped.
"Yes, we should be. Now no one will blame me for killing a thirteen-year-old girl." Kakashi said calmly, but relieved.
"Huh? Thirteen?" Naruto asked aloud. "How did you know how old she was Kakashi-sensei?"
"Well, I just assumed…you know, judging by her height and weight, and physical appearance…that sort of thing…" he replied, and quickly looked away.
Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura did understand what he meant, but suspected that he wasn't telling the whole story.
"Uh…okay Kakashi-sensei…whatever you say…"
"Good. Now, let's go see the Hokage for another mission, shall we?"
And with that, team seven set off.
Team Gai was sitting at a table in the ramen shop, staring at the body.
By 'body' I do still mean the unconscious girl, who was now out of the ramen bowl. Her face was lying sideways on the table, surrounded by spilled ramen. And, yes, her eyes were still open.
"I warned you not to do that, Gai-sensei…" Tenten glanced at Gai, then back at the girl.
Flashback
"Yes! Here we are my students!" Gai shouted, pumping his fist into the air.
Team Gai made their way to the counter, ordered ramen, and looked around for an empty table.
"Oh, look! There's one over there!" Tenten pointed to a table in a corner of the shop. The four of them made their way to the table and sat down. As they began to eat, Gai noticed a girl sitting at the same table as them. Her face was in the bowl of ramen, and she was bleeding from various cuts and wounds.
Gai looked at her and said "That is not a youthful way to be eating your food! One as youthful as yourself should eat with energy and enthusiasm!" He finished by striking a pose of youthfulness.
There was no response.
The other members of team Gai now noticed the girl as well.
End Flashback
"Uh…Gai-sensei? I think that girl is unconscious, and she looks wounded." Tenten pointed out to her sensei.
"Tenten! You're right!" Rock Lee said in approval. "Something should be done about this matter at once!"
"An excellent idea Lee! Let us think youthfully for a solution!" Gai shouted, and continued to strike youthful poses.
Neji sighed, and quickly looked at the girl again before resuming eating. 'This girl, she must have a very strange fate destined for her. Perhaps she's already dead. Oh well, like I care. Mmmm…ramen…' he thought.
Tenten played the voice of reason. "Guys," She stated. "She needs to be taken to the hospital. Now."
Gai, Lee and Neji all looked at her. "The hospital?"
Tenten sighed. "Yes, the hospital, where else? She's injured you know."
She stood up and walked to the girl, gently picking her up and putting her (the girl's) arm around her (Tenten's) shoulder.
"A little help would be nice guys…" Tenten hinted to her team. Rock Lee took the girl's other arm, and did what Tenten had done. "Ok, let's go!" Gai-sensei cheered and headed off to the hospital with Neji, Tenten, Rock Lee, and the girl, in close pursuit.
When they arrived, Tenten and Lee brought the girl to one of the nurses. "Excuse me," Tenten began. "But this girl needs medical attention. If you could see to her that would be very kind of you."
The nurse looked at the body the two teens presented. "Oh dear, I'll get her to a medical ninja right away. Hold on." She went over to a young woman and whispered something, while pointing their way. The woman looked over at them, eyeing the girl in Tenten's arms. She walked over to them, and picked the girl up.
"Thank-you for bringing her to us. I'll do my best to make sure she recovers."
The questioning tone in the woman's voice made Tenten slightly uneasy. "Have you ever had a patient of this kind before?" She asked.
The woman gave a blank stare, then smiled proudly and exclaimed "Well, actually I'm new here, so this is my first patent!"
Rock Lee and Tenten could only stare in disbelief as the girl was carried away into an operation room.
And there you have it! Did you like it? Did you not like it?
