Summary: This is Mika and Naruto's third meeting. It happens three weeks after their second, when Mika wakes up in the hospital. She had been hit with a bunch of chakra from Naruto and passes out. When she wakes up she talks to Kakashi and Tsunade. Tsunade instructs Mika to rest some more and just as she's about to fall asleep Naruto comes running into the room.

Apologies

The third time she saw him, was actually not long after the second. After being told by Tsunade to rest, Mika had just started to drift off when Naruto came bursting into the room.

"Mika-chan! You're finally awake! Thank God you are! I'm so sorry; I thought I had killed you!" Naruto shouted running over to her bed and enveloping her in a hug.

"Nar...air!" Mika wheezed out.

Naruto immediately let go and started apologizing again. Mika reached over and grabbed the pen and paper, then wrote something and handed it to Naruto, who was still saying sorry.

"It's ok Naruto, you don't have to apologize, it not you fault," he read out loud, "but it is my fault!" he retorted.

She just shook her head and smiled at him. Mika reached for the paper and Naruto handed it to her. She wrote something else and handed it back.

'It's not your fault; you don't have to take the blame. If I had been paying attention, I could have easily dodged out of the way.'

Naruto looked at her confused and passed her the paper so she could explain. But, instead of explaining, Mika just wrote down five simple words.

'I promise I'll explain later.'

"Ok, I'll let you get some sleep. Promise me you'll get someone to tell me when you wake up again?" he asked.

She nodded her head, and set her things beside her again. Naruto left and Mika, now very tired, fell asleep almost instantly.
