I own nothing …. Blah blah…. I am trying to lengthen the chapter. Its slowly getting there.

Chapter Four

When he finally came to, the first thing that registered was an annoying beeping sound and the second was that he was parched. The smell of bleach finally hitting his nose, he deduced that he was currently in the hospital. Moving his hand towards the right side of the bed, even though it hurt like hell, he searched for the other hand, that should have been there. Feeling nothing, he dared to peek his eye open and was meet with nothing.

"Where the hell is she?" He thought. "Not even her chair is there."

Trying to remember what exactly happened that landed him in the hospital and why she wasn't sitting with him, had him so lost in thought, that he didn't hear the door open.

"Hatake, how are you feeling?" Came the booming voice of Tsunade.

Wiping my head to the side, I stared hard at the Hokage in front of me. Tsunade didn't look upset, so where was she? Did she get hurt too? Is she in another room, but if she was, then why? When we both got hurt, which wasn't often, we were put in the same room. I wanted answers to my questions, but needing water, to help clear this dryness I felt, I motioned to the pitcher of water.

After relieving the dryness of my throat, I tried to be calm and rational, but this irrational panic had set in.

"Where is she?" I asked.

Tsunade looked confused for a moment. "Where is who?"

"You know who I'm talking about. Don't play games with me. Did something happen to her?" Letting my anger get the best of me.

"Listen brat, don't get angry with me. I need to know who she is. There is a lot of women who could be she."

Trying to put a lid on my anger, I answered through clenched teeth, "Sakura."

Tsunade really then looked confused. "Sakura is at home resting."

"Was she hurt?"

"No."

"Then why isn't she here?"

"Why would she be here, Kakashi?"

"My wife is always here when I get hurt. YOU KNOW THAT, TSUNADE."

My anger was barely contained at this time. Wanting to get up and go find Sakura, but feeling too weak and worked up, made everything feel fuzzy. My heart was beating rapidly and I felt short of breath. What was happening to me?

"I …. do….n't … go…od." I panted out.

The last I saw, was the look of concern on Tsunade's face and her mouth saying something.
