Gaara POV

I walk into Keia's hospital room with Rei. She runs up to Keia's bed and starts muttering to her. The ANBU team had returned without problems moments before and Temari was writing a detailed letter about what had happened to Tsunade. I turn to leave the room but a raspy voice stops me. "Gaara..." I turn around and see Keia's eyes focused on me.

"Hm?" I grunt, wanting to leave.

"...thank you." She winces and I nod my head and leave as Rei starts talking to her. These girls are going to be more trouble than I thought.

Keiatami POV

I listen to Rei as she tells me about everything that had happened. I sit up and ask her to get me a drink. She leaves the room to get it and I slowly get up and get dressed. I do not stay in hospitals. While I'm putting my arm in the sling again, the door opens and I look up to see that woman who calls herself my mom walk in. She seems surprised that I'm out of the bed, much less dressed as if I'm going to leave. Rei walks in and drops the drink she'd gotten me. "Keia! What are you doing? You're supposed to rest! Lay back down right now!" She orders not even noticing the woman.

"She's right you know." She remarks pointing at Rei.

"Hey! Who are you and how did you get in here?" Rei asks suspiciously.

"My name is Amasei and..." Rei cuts her off.

"Your Keia's birth mom!" She exclaims, remembering. "But...what are you doing here? Keia doesn't like you."

"I-"

"She was just leaving." I don't even try to hide my hostility towards her.

"I'm here to take care of her." Amasei says stubbornly. "...whether she likes it or not." She stares at me defiantly and I stare right back.

"You can think what you like, but you are not-" My voice starts rising as my temper flares.

"KEIATAMI SOLAOU YOU LAY BACK DOWN IN THAT BED RIGHT NOW!" I stare wide-eyed as Tsunade strides into the room.

"But-"

"RIGHT NOW!" She orders again. I sit on the bed just to amuse her so she'll listen to me.

"Tsunade, you know I"m not going to stay in here. I have to keep training...and do other stuff." I look off to the side and quickly mutter the last part of my sentence.

-15 minutes later-

"You're staying here for the night." She determines after looking at my shoulder.

"But Tsuna-...master!" I complain.

"No. Your staying; if you'd remembered your training, you wouldn't be in this situation." She states turning around as I blush.

"Your right. I should have remembered my training. I wasn't focusing on the fight my mind was elsewhere." I look down at my hands and remain quiet as Tsunade turns around and faces me.

"Why? Why didn't you keep your mind on the battle? You can't be distracted when fighting Sasuke Uchiha. you know that! Keia, you've changed. Since you found you were adopted, you just up and left. That's not like you." Sitting on the edge of my bed, she looks at me. "Tell me whats wrong." She says softly. I look up at her and open my mouth to tell her when Rei bursts into the room.

"Is Keia gonna be okay?" She asks Tsunade standing on the opposite side of my bed.

"I'm going to be fine, Rei. I've told you this a million times." I sigh and lay back letting my shoulder slowly ease into the comfort of the pillow. Ignoring me, she turns to Tsunade and raises her eyebrows. Tsunade nods before speaking out loud to us.

"Her wound will heal perfectly fine, she'll be back to training again soon. I'm already planning the lessons." She smirks and walks out.

"Great. Death by training, I can see it now." Rei laughs as I roll my eyes.

-Next Day-

I drag myself into the house behind Temari. "I don't need someone to watch over me! I'm fine. I know how to fight and you know it." I start up the stairs as Temari starts to argue. "I KNOW I got kabobed by Sasuke's sword!" I growl. "I WON'T be caught off guard again." I go into my temporary room as Temari stops my door from closing.

"I'm still going to have Kankuro, Gaara, or an Anbu be watching you when your not in the bathroom..or changing." With that said, she turns and leaves, my door silently closing behind her. I sigh in frustration and decide to write to my mom and dad..well, the only parents I'd eve known. I dig in my bag and pull out a pen and start searching deeper in it for a scroll. I reach in and pull out...my gloves? So that's where they were! Psh. They would've come in handy when I was skewered by Sasuke's sword. That baka knows better than to make me so angry. I squeeze my gloves in my left hand before dropping them on the floor and reaching into my bag again for a scroll. I have to stay focused, or I'll never write them. Finally, I locate an empty scroll and work on writing with my left and and fail, time and time again. Frustrated I hurl my pen at the wall; it bounces off and lands on the floor rolling to a stop next to the bed.

"Stupid pen. Stupid injury. Stupid Sauske. Stupid letter. Stupid fights. Stupid...me." I sigh and sit on the floor in the middle of the room and concentrate on healing my shoulder quicker. I feel my muscles in my shoulder heal, but the joint is still messed up. I don't know how to fix it, so I stand up and walk around a bit before laying down on the bed. I stare at the fan as it slowly spins, moving the hot air around the room. After about an hour of the excruciating boredom, there's a soft knock on my door. "Come in." I sit up as the door slowly creaks open, revealing a worried-looking Rei. "What's wrong?" I ask standing up.

"Nothing, I'm just worried about you. We didn't hear any movement or noises or anything and I was wondering why so I came to check on you." She walks in, picks up the pen and sits down on the bed. "Does it hurt?" She doesn't look at me, but instead at my pen as she turns it in her hands.

"My shoulder? A little bit, not badly though. You don't need to worry about me. Tsunade is taking care of my injury, so it's sure to be okay, and I can watch out for myself. I know my weaknesses and I'm going to grain harder than ever to overcome them. There's nothing for you to worry about." I sit down beside her and put my arm around her. "Try not to worry, okay? Every thing is gonna be alright." She finally looks up and smiles.

"I know, its just...never mind. Why did you throw this across the room?" She asks, changing the subject before I can ask what she was going to say.

"I was going to write a letter, but I can't write with my left hand, so I got angry and threw it." I explain laying back. "So much for writing my parents, huh?" I say sarcastically.

"I could write it for you; if you say it to me..." Rei offers.

"Really you don't mind?"

"Of course not. Now start talking!" She sits down at my desk and gets ready to write as I start to dictate my letter to her.

-Half An Hour Later-

"...Love, Keia." I pace a few more steps then stop. "Is that good?"

"It's great; my hand hurts. We can give it to Kankuro to send to them. Oh, and don't forget to take your medicine. you have tot take in in...15 minutes ago. OH MY GOURD!! You missed taking your medicine! your arm's gonna fall off!!" Rei freaks out trying to find my pills.

"I'm taking them now.."I gripe, getting them out and taking them. "Stupid pills." I mutter after swallowing them.

"Don't EVER forget to take them again. you could die if you do!" She reprimands me.

:could not! The pills are just to keep the pain down and speed up the healing. I'm not gonna die or lose my arm!!" I sit on the bed and toss the pills onto the nightstand. "Was it a mistake to come here? I quietly ask.

"Do you think it was? Rei sits down beside me and clutches the letter.

"I don't know anymore. I mean, I got to see Temari again, and meet you, but that's it; Amasei shows up with no warning and I don't know what to say to her. It just seems like a huge mistake..." I sigh and notice her clutch the letter tighter.

"You see meeting me as a mistake?" She sounds as if she's on the verge of tears.

"NO! That's the best thing that's happened on this..mission, er, trip...thing." I reassure her and she wipes her eyes.

"Awww, your so sweet!!" She envelopes me in a giant bear hug and sniffles.

"Can't...breathe...Rei..." I gasp out and she lets me go.

"Sorry." I numb my shoulder yet again and stand up. "Let's go on and send the letter. Might as well get it out of the way." Rei gets up and follows me out the door. After wandering around for a few hours, we decide to get ice cream and get Kankuro to send the letter for us. "So much for making it on my own. I can't even send a letter!" I laugh as we walk back in the house.

"Well you-" Rei stops as we walk into the kitchen and see Gaara sitting at the table. We turn to leave him, but he stops us.

"Keia, Tsunade wishes to speak with you. She's in my office right now, waiting." Rei and I follow him to his office silently, but only I enter. "She only wants to speak to Keia." Gaara says holding Rei back. I walk in leaving Gaara and Rei standing outside his office.

Rei POV

I pace outside Gaara's office waiting for Keia to come back out. 'I hope she's not being sent back to the village. I want to stay with Keia, but I also want to be with-'

"WHAT?!" I hear Keia shriek from inside the office. I cringe as I hear a series of shouts and crashes from the other side of the door. I look at Gaara and he looks...bored. He doesn't seem to care that his office is most likely being obliterated by Keia. I cringe as I hear her shout again. This time however, Tsunade yells right back at her. They seem to argue for a few minutes before the door flies open and Keia storms out, papers flying around the room behind her. I decide to leave her alone for awhile and wander back to the house to see if Kankuros back yet.

A/N- Short chapter I know, sorry! Lots of action coming up though and I mean LOTS! Review please! oh yeaaa BTW the reason Tsunade got there so fast, is cuz she was already coming to visit! Just so ya know :D
