"Afternoon Granny," I said walking in breathing heavily.
"There you are," she said coming out from behind a counter.
"I got some requests from a few people," she added handing me a piece of paper with names and sicknesses on it.
"Sakura is sick?" I questioned.
"Haruno? Yes her mother came in here. Apparently she's too sick to heal herself," the lady replied.
"Well then I'll put together some medicine for her," I said going to different jars of flowers and herbs. I was a pretty lousy fighter but as long as I had plants around me I could be some what useful.
"I'll be heading out now, I'll see you soon Granny," I said before running off with the medicine I had just made. I arrived at Sakura's house pretty quickly and was greeted by her parent's.
"Mrs. Haruno, Mr. Haruno," I said bowing politely.
"Manami Konishi?" Mr. Haruno asked.
"Yes, I came with some herbs for you daughter, Sakura," I said and he nodded letting me in and showing me to her room. To my dismay Naruto and Sai were there. I was going to leave when the noticed me.
"Chishio!" Naruto called. "Why are you here?"
"I uh, brought some herbs to make Sakura get better," I replied sitting down next to Sakura's bed. I pulled out my jar and put the mashed flowers and herbs into my hand.
"May one of you get me a glass of water?" I questioned.
"I will," Naruto said going down the stairs. I bit my lower lip, standing right next to me was the Sasuke replacement.
"Do you not like me?" He questioned and I looked over at him and eye brow raised. I don't think that is something Sasuke would have said.
"Why should I hate you? I don't even know you," I answered more trying to convince myself.
"Do you mind if I give you a nickname?" he asked. I stared at him thinking huh?
"It makes people closer," he said and I stared at him funny.
"If you want to," I said shrugging. Man how long can Naruto take? The herbs in my hand will be dead by the time he gets back up here! Sai started to circle around me, his finger to his bottom lip. It made me feel really self conscious.
"I'm back!" Naruto said coming into the room.
"I've got it...hideous," Sai said.
"Huh?" Naruto asked looking between us. I now glared at Sai. What gave him a right to call me hideous?
"That's her nickname, hideous," Sai said again.
"Naruto, give me the cup please," I said through clenched teeth, which he did and I put it into the cup. Then I slowly poured it down Sakura's throat. When she swallowed it all I picked up my bag and left the room. Leaving two very confused boys behind.
"Hideous?" I heard Naruto yell even after I left the house.
"Welcome back," the elderly lady said as I came into the store.
"How was the visit?"
"It was fine," I responded as my chipper self.
"It looks like you are done with the house calls for the day, thank you very much Manami," the lady said and I smiled.
"It was my pleasure. I'll see you tomorrow!" I said running out of the store. I walked through the crowded street. I hate crowded streets. Sure I was a social person - I guess you could call me - but when I'm older I'm going to buy a small house out in the country, far away from annoying people, stupid rumors, and this thing everyone is calling love. I don't need on tiny bit of it. If cupid is real I will slit his throat with a kunai. No way in hell am I going to get hit by a love arrow, or what ever people call it.
"Miss, would you like to buy some pretty jewelry?" a sales person asked me.
"No thank you," I responded with the same fake chipper attitude. I wish I had someone to rely on, like really rely on. To tell my secrets and to live in the small cottage with.
No, just me and nature will be just fine.
Maybe have a kid or two, or even three.
Nah, kids are too annoying, they are nagging and dirty diapers. No, kids aren't for me. And anyways, wouldn't I need cupids stupid arrow to have children? I would have to be stupid enough to be with a retarded guy, maybe marry him.
It'd suck.
