(Treanna's Point Of View)
I am sitting up in a hospital bed looking out of the window, looking at the children below, playing ninja. I have done this for three month's now, just waiting for something to happen. I was not allowed to leave until the order of my fake legs to come in.
I was happy that my family came to visit me everyday and sometimes they would even stay there night. Caleb likes touching my legs, probably not used to seeing was he saw. He looked sleeping with me on the hospital bed for his nap time. I'm glad he isn't afraid of me not having any legs.
Tou-san and Kaa-san have been really supportive through this whole transference. They have brought me lunch and dinner everyday because the hospital for isn't very good. Tou-san said that he is making a ramp do I could get into the house easier but their is steps up to the house. They also are moving my room to the first floor so I could get into my room easier.
Kakashi-senpai and Rin-senpai have visited me everyday as well and brought flowers with them well. They would talk to me about how training is going and missions they have gone on. I wish I could go with them, but with the way I am, I probably won't be a ninja anymore.
When Rin-senpai and I were alone, we would talk about girl stuff and about boys. Rin-senpai liked to gossip about how Asuma-senpai and Kurenai-senpai are to cute and they gave to be together. Sure also told me that she is over her crush for Kakashi-senpai and that, that spot was reserved for me. I knew that she was hiding her sadness from Obito-senpai behind a smile so sure could fake her happiness
I have to admit that I have feelings for the silver haired Jounin. I don't think that he would return the feelings that I have for him. Who would love a cripple who was to weak to protect her adoptive family.
I come out of my musing when I hear the door open, and I see that it was my adoptive parents with my little brother holding a basket of food. I gave them a small smile as Caleb ran over to me and gave me a hug. "Nee-san! Nee-san!". I giggled and rubbed the top of his head.
Tou-san gave me a smile as he sat down on the bed next to me and put a hand on my head. "How's my girl doing, huh...". I leaned into his touch while sighing. Kaa-san gasped, "Oh no, dattebane! There is something wrong and she's not telling us! Tickle it out of her!"
Kaa-san came over and started to tickle me while Tou-san took Caleb into his lap, laughing. I told her tell her what's wrong, while laughing, and she stopped with a winning look on her face. I sighed again as I looked outside, again, at the kids playing ninja below.
"I-I was t-thinking t-that because of w-what happened...I-I can't b-be a n-ninja a-anymore, so all that t-training w-we did a-as a t-team was for n-nothing...". They gave me a sad look them hugged with all of their love and caring nature's. "Oh sweetie, don't think like that!". Kaa-san said while wiping away my tears.
Tou-san looked at me and nodded, "Well, let's think about it... If you train hard enough... Maybe you can be the first ninja in a wheel chair! I mean, you still have your arms, right?". He gave me a trade mark smile and I gave a little smile while also thinking of his words.
It couldn't be possible for a cripple to be a ninja. Ninja need be able to run and fight other shinobi. Though... He's right...I still do have my arms so that means I can still fight... No... It can't be possible... It's a foolish dream.
Caleb snuggled against me then looked up at me with a smile. "Nee-san! We bougt u food!". He is struggling with his words but is getting better everyday, thanks to the Academy. They have a school for toddlers which I thought was cute, but helpful for Caleb.
Kaa-san laughed at Caleb's antics then took off the baskets lid and grabbed a bento for me to eat. I thanked her and opened the bento to see two rice balls and a grilled cheese sandwich with a salad. I gave her a smile as she took out the other bento's for them to eat.
Caleb struggled using the chopsticks but with Kaa-san's help, he did fine. Tou-san stared talking about how the war ended a few weeks ago and how everyone is spacing of now, except for Kakashi-senpai, of course. It would also seem that I am one of those slackers because all in doing laying in bed, not doing anything to help the village.
Sobering knocked omg the door so we told them to come inside. It was the nurse, who's name was Alice, and she started walking towards me. Caleb was scared of her so he snuggled into my chest as I hugged him. I laughed at his antics then looked back at the nurse who walked in with a clipboard.
She looked up at me and smiled. "Alright, I'm here to check your legs then I have good news for you!". I took of my blanket which showed the remainder of my legs, covered in bandages. She slowly unwrapped them to show my stub, like legs that had no knee cap.
She examined it will while humming then gave me a big smile sure looked back at me. "They are mostly healed so I can give you the good news! Your fake legs have come in this morning and so has your wheelchair, so you can leave the hospital today!". I nodded with a big smile on my face while Kaa-san whooped and punched the air.
Tou-san came up to me and gave me a hug. "This is your big day, sweetie... You ready?". I nodded as two nurses, who were named Alice and Akio, came in with a box and a wheelchair that look like had some special features. Alice laid that box on the bed and told me to sit at the edge of the bed.
Tou-san helped me stay steady as I sat at the edge of the bed with the stub's of my legs are hanging off the side of the bed. She then opened the box to show two, mechanical like legs that looked like just two metal rods with shoes at the bottom for feet. They were about two feet long so it would be close to wear I was for height.
Caleb looked at the legs on awe and he went to pick one up. He tried but fell over doing it, making us all laugh. Alice took the left leg out of the box and brought it closer to my left leg. The top of the mechanical leg connected to my original leg. She used strapes to hold it down in place and did the same with the other one.
My legs felt heavy awkward but that was probably normal and I would get used to it soon. Akio looked at me and smiled, "Those fit you perfectly! I'm glad we ordered them when we did!". I smiled at her and looked down at my legs with a small frown.
Alice said that it was time to try out my wheelchair so Tou-san picked me up, bridal style, and put me in the wheel chair. It actually felt quiet nice And I thought to myself that I could probably get used to it. "This wheelchair is for ninja's who are injured but they can still train, so the wheels are slanted inwards so you can easily turn left and right."
I put my hands on the wheels and sightly turned the wheels so I could move a little. Alice then gave me training gloves and said that they would help with the grip on the wheels. I thanked her and started to wheel myself forward towards my adoptive parents. They had their arms open wide like I was taking my first steps and they were getting ready to catch me.
Once I got to them, they have me a hug and Caleb jumped onto my lap and started shouting sound effects for a car. I laughed at his antics until I heard someone knock on the door. My father told them to come in and I see that it is Rin-senpai and Kakashi-senpai.
Rin-senpai gasped as she saw me in the wheel chair and Kakashi-senpai's eyes widen. I turn my chair so I could look at them and they run over to me. Rin-senpai hugged me then looked at me. "Your legs finally came in! Now you can finally leave the hospital!". Kakashi-senpai looked me and his eyes soften, "I'm happy for you... Treanna."
My heart starts beating faster as he spoke those words. Ever since Obito-senpai past away and He made that promise to protect us, he had been warmer towards Rin-senpai and I. Kakashi-senpai hugged me and I slowly hugged him back with a small smile on my face.
Alice coughed, getting our attention, and told us that we could sign me out of the hospital so I could go back home. Tou-san nodded and followed her out of the room. Kaa-san pulled out some clothes and told me that it was time get it off the hospital gown. Kakashi-senpai hurried and left the room so Rin-senpai and Kaa-san could help me just dressed.
They took me out of my chair and put me on the bed. They put on my light blue top with the chain mail under it and put on my black shorts. I kept my black handkerchief around my neck because it was very important to me. They put my back in my chair and I told them i have to go to the bathroom.
They took me to the large bathroom that was meant for wheel chairs and they helped me get onto the toilet. They left so I could have some privacy when I went which was nice of them. I looked in the mirror in front of me and I saw the large scar on my face that I got when I first met Obito-senpai. 'i guess I am unpretty and crippled for life...' I thought to myself as I shouted for them to come back because I was done.
I wheeled myself back to the room and I saw my family waiting for me. Caleb ran up to me and jumped into my lap, wanting a ride. I giggled as Tou-san took the handles of my chair and wheeled me out of the hospital. Kaa-san whispered something in Tou-san's ear and he nodded. She then took the handles and started pushing me the opposite way of the house.
"U-Um... W-Where are we g-going?". I asked while looking at her smiling face. "We are fight shopping to get you some new clothes because the ones you are wearing are to dainty, dattebane!". I realised what she was saying and just looked forward as she pushed me down the road of Market Street.
I saw a lot of people staring at me with concern, pity, and fear which kind of made me sick because I didn't want them looking at me like that. What I have learned from this village is that the villagers like to gossip which means that they are now taking about how I have turned into a cripple. I felt someone kiss the top of my head and lean down to my ear. "Don't listen to them, dattebane... You are better than that, ya know!".
I smiled at her words and kept looking forwarding add we made it the the teen ninja clothes shop. We went inside to see many clothes hanging around the store which made me smile. I love shopping with Kaa-san because she always made it fun. I forgot that Caleb was on my lap until he jumped off and started running around the store. I laughed as I put my hands on the wheels and started wheeling myself the to shelfs.
I went to the blue colored clothes because blue and black were my favorite colors. I saw a shirt that only when to the bottom of my chest and the stomach part was made of chain mail. I took about seven copies of the shirt off the rack and put it on my lap then went over to the shorts.
I picked out seven simple black colored shorts and put it on my lap. Finally I went to the shoes and picked out a size ten so it would fit over the mechanical fit. I chose the kind of sites that were closed and didn't show the toes because the feet didn't have any toes to begin with.
I went back over to Kaa-san who was trying to keep Caleb out of trouble and I laughed at their antics. Kaa-san noticed me and squealed at the clothes I chose and told me that it was time to try it on. We went to the handicap stall so it could fit my wheelchair. She helped me get the shirt and shorts on and when we were finished, she gave me a nod with stars in her eyes.
I got back into my normal clothes and we went to check them out. Those are really good clothes you picked out, dattebane. It really shines out your hair and eyes, ya know!". I blushed at her comment as the shop owner have back the clothes we bought. I looked up at her as Caleb jumped in my lap again and Kaa-san started to push me out of the store.
"I-I'd rather h-have y-your hair! I-Its so p-pretty...". Kaa-san chuckled as she leaned down and kissed my cheek. "Well... Do you know what I say to those who complement my hair?". I shook my head, thinking I said something wrong. "I love you...". My eyes widen and I look back at her while she smiles at me. Tears wield up in my eyes as I hurry and wipe them away and I mutter that I love her too.
We made it to the house and i see that the stairs were now a ramp which made it easier to get to the house. She pushed me to the ramp and used the key to open the door. I pushed myself inside to see that it was dark, so I turned in the light.
"Surprise!"
I almost jumped out of my chair when I see Tou-san, Rin-senpai, Kakashi-senpai, Lord Third Hokage, and his student, master Jiraiya. I was confused and scared at the same time. "W-What's g-going on?". Tou-san laughed as he put a hand on my shoulder. "We are celebrating your recovery, Treanna!".
My mouth went into an O shape as I realised what was going on. Then tears started to leak out and everyone got worried. "Y-You did t-this all for m-me...T-Thank y-you s-so m-much!". Everyone laughed as I started to sob. "Your right Minato, she is very soft and kind.".
I looked up to see Master Jiraiya kneeling down in front of me with a big smile. "I have heard a lot about you, Water Bender of Konoha! It is I... The Galent toad sage... Jiraiya!". He stood up making a wired pose but I still thought that it was cool of him so I bowed to him in respect. "I-Its nice t-to m-meet you, M-Master Jiraiya-san."
"Oh, sure knows much respect! Everyone can learn a thing or two from her!". Everyone laughed as Lord Third Hokage came up to me. "Treanna... I'm so sorry this happened, but I'm glad that you are home now.". I nodded to him, giving him a smile.
Tou-san and Kaa-san bright out a cake with candles on it do it felt like to me that it was my birthday. I blew out the candles and Caleb jumped off my lap and ran over to Master Jiraiya. I saw that everyone was talking among themselves, so they didn't notice me wheeling myself out of the door.
I was wheeling myself around town, thinking about what has happened the last few weeks. So far, Obito-senpai sacrificed himself to save Kakashi-senpai and gave him his Sharingan eye. I was too weak that I got myself hurt and lost my legs. Now I cannot be a ninja and follow my dream to be as strong like my father.
I stopped moving forward until I got to the top of some stairs in Central Park. 'Maybe...its for the best... for me to leave this world... this useless kunoichi...' I thought as I put one hand on the wheel and one tear fell out of my eye.
I pushed the wheel forward in a fast motion and I fell face forward into the stairs. I braced myself for pain, but I felt no impact as arms wrapped around me to keep me from falling. The pair of arms turn me around and I open my eyes to see Kakashi-senpai holding me with a concerned look on his face.
The wheelchair fell at the bottom of the stairs and made a clang noise. Kakashi-senpai held me in a bridal style and jumped down to the bottom of the stairs and got my chair up in the right setting place so I could sit in it.
He set me down and just stared down at his feet. I felt something wet and cold fall onto my hands and I look up to see that it was snowing. I raised my hands up to feel the snow fall onto my hands which made me smile a little.
"Why..." I looked up at Kakashi-senpai to see him crying from his one uncovered eye. "Why would you try to do that!" I looked down and started to cry myself. "I...I d-don't know w-what I-I was t-thinking..." He sighed and wiped away his tears then kneeled down to look me in the eye.
"I know what you were thinking... You were thinking that you were a useless ninja because you are in a wheelchair and cant use your legs, right..." I looked up at him in surprise as he grabbed my hands in comfort.
"You are not worthless... you are the strongest, most kind, and oblivious girl that I have ever met." My eyes widen as I remember telling them my goal as a kunoichi which was to be kind like my mother but strong like me father. I was confused as to why he said I was oblivious...
I then looked down at his hands which were holding mine... A tear fell from my face. "I...I am a-a w-worthless ninja... w-without t-the use o-of my l-legs... I..." He shook his head and held my hands tighter.
"You are not worthless! You can still train to become a strong kunoichi! You may not have the ability to use your legs but you have got the will power and determination to pull through. I will help you with any thing, and be there for you the best I can... I mean... Its stupid not to help the one you love, after all."
I looked up at him shocked at the last words he said. "W-What did y-you j-just say." He kissed my left hand through his mask and looked up at me. "I said... I love you, Treanna..." A tear fell from my eye, "R-Really... You t-truly l-love me?" He nodded and kissed my forehead through his mask.
"As I said... I love you, Treanna." I wrapped my arms around him. "I n-never thought t-that a-anyone could l-love a person l-like me... and I-I never thought t-that my love w-would love me b-back." He looked up at me with shocked eyes.
"You... You love me back!" I nodded as a tear fell from his eye and he wipes it away laughing. I laughed with him then he traces a finger against my lips. "Man... I could just kiss you." I slowly reached up and slowly pulled down his mask.
When it was all the way down, I could see him handsome face that he has been hiding all this time. He leaned down and captured his lips onto mine. It was a slow, passionate kiss that brought fireworks to pop up around me, figuratively.
Our lips moved simultaneously then we pulled away for air. I looked at his face and saw his scar and started to trace it. "W-Well, it l-looks like w-we match." He chuckled then traced the scar that lines across my face. "It seems so..."
We heard clapping behind us and we see Tou-san, Kaa-san, Rin-senpai, and the others that were at the party. "So... Looks like we have a new couple, huh." Tou-san giggled as we both blushed and Kakashi pulled up his mask.
"I knew you two loved each other!" I covered my face in embarresment as Kakashi took the handles of my wheelchair and started push me towards the house, but not before kissing me on the cheek and whispering an "I love you" then look ahead.
I looked down at my legs then smiled... Yes... I can still be a ninja. With the help of my friends... my family... my lover... I will be the strongest kunoichi in the village."
