"You really need to make up your mind Alary. First you love him, then you don't. Which is it?"

"I don't know, Lilith. I really don't." Alary and Lilith were in Alary's hospital room. It had been a week since Alary told Sasuke about Itachi. Alary was making a huge mess of things, and Sasuke had been discharged yesterday. The wound in his side had finally healed, and now it was just a slight cut. As long as he didn't open it, it should be gone within days. Alary didn't know what to make of anything anymore.

"Once I get out, I'm going to tell Itachi I'm not marrying him. He'll kill me, but that might be better anyway. All I've done is cause trouble for everyone."

"You haven't caused trouble for Sasuke."

"Yes, I have. If I weren't alive, then Sasuke wouldn't have gotten hurt and he wouldn't have tried to leave either." When Sasuke was leaving the village, Naruto was training. He saw him, and dragged him back convinced him to go back to the village. Naruto had also come to visit Alary in the hospital, and give her some ramen.

"If you were dead, then Sasuke would never have found the best thing in his life." Alary turned. That voice wasn't Lilith. Sasuke had come for a visit!

"Sasuke! I thought you were going to rest?"

"I did rest. I wanted to see you. So, here I am. Unless you don't want me here." Sasuke walked over to the other side of the bed and gave Alary his arm. Lilith just watched.

"Okay, I definitely missed something here."

"Well, she's been addicted to my arm lately."

"That doesn't help explain anything."

"Who said I was trying to explain things?" Alary was just listening to them, her two reasons to smile. So, she smiled. She listened for a while, then realized she'd been holding Sasuke's arm the whole time. She almost let go. Alary thought back to every time Sasuke had been in her room in the past week. 'Gah!! I was holding his arm every time!! T.T Why did I hold it?!?!!? Gah.'

"Alary? Alary? Alary!!"

"Huh? What?" Lilith leaned back.

"Jeez Alary, for a second I though you were going into a trance of Sasuke's arm."

"What are you talking about?"

"You've been staring at his arm for 5 minutes. Was it transforming?"

"Ah! I'm sorry Sasuke!" Alary quickly retreated her hands and flung his arm away. "I'm sorry, I guess I was just tired."

"Then you should sleep. Heaven knows I sleep when I want." Lilith started laughing. Then Alary laughed. Sasuke just smiled at her. 'Good to know she's okay.'

In their fun they forgot to check the time, and soon it was time for visitors to go. Lilith hugged Alary and left. "Oh, Lilith! Wait!" Lilith came back in the doorway.

"What?"

"The nurse said that if I don't have too much pain, I can leave at the end of the week!"

"Ha! That's great!! So suck it up so you can get out of here!" Lilith waved and left.

Sasuke waited until she was gone to lean down and kiss Alary on the forehead.

"I could hide for a while and stay."

"You need to sleep."

"Then I'll sleep." Sasuke faked snoring until Alary started laughing again. Then the nurse came in.

"Sir, you need to leave. Visiting hours are over."

"Why can't I stay?"

"Because she needs to sleep. It would be better for her health if-"

"She'll fall asleep easier if I let her hold my arm, unless you were planning on letting her rip it off. Then I'd be stuck here again, and you'll have to deal with me all over again. More work for you, but if you insist…"

"Um, Sir! You can stay, but make sure that she goes to sleep at 9. I'm not sure if the Hokage would approve though."

"How about she goes to sleep at 8 and the Hokage doesn't know about my extended visit, and you get a little bonus?"

"I-I guess that'd work…"

"Good. I'll send your bonus to your office in a week. Make sure no one opens it."

"Yes Sir! Have a good night!" The nurse quickly left the room.

"Sasuke! You can't bribe the nurse!"

"I just did though."

*Sigh*

"Heheh!! Did you want me to leave then?"

"No!" Alary hugged his arm tighter. "Don't go……."Alary fell back on the pillows. Her fingers slipped from Sasuke's arm.

"Alary! Nurse!!" The nurse ran in.

"What is it?"

"What do you think?!!? She fainted! Help her!"

"Sir, please calm down. Tell me what happened."

"We were talking, and she just fainted! Now are you gonna do something or not?"

"Doctor! Get this girl to the operating room!"
