Chapter 10- The Hospital

Rosanna woke up sleeping in the chair. "Wow I guess I can't pull all-nighters." She mumbled to herself stretching and rubbing her eyes.

"So you finally woke up?" Kayla was sitting on the bed looking bored.

"If you wanted to you could've woken me up."

"No, you actually need the sleep." Kayla stood up and walked over to the door, "Breakfast?"

"Ya I want some too." Rosanna stood too and they walked together to the kitchen. "Hey, Shika." Rosanna said to the lazy boy sitting at the table.

"Oh, morning." He replied eyeing the girls wearily.

"Lazy-ass." mumbled Kayla under her breath sitting down and grabbing some cereal. Rosanna sat down too grabbing some breakfast and rolling her eyes.

After breakfast they went out for a walk. While Shikamaru and Rosanna were talking Kayla slipped away and ran to the hotel the sand siblings were staying at. She knocked on the door to be met with a groggy Temari whose eyes immediately widened when she saw her. "Hey Temari is Gaara here?"

"No I don't know where he is but he's in a very bad mood right now. What happened to you?"

"Nothing that will ever happen again so just forget about it. I'm staying with a friend so I'll see you later."

She left and found Rosanna tapping her foot waiting with her arms crossed. "Where the hell have you been?"

"Nowhere, lets go."

"Alright fine." She grabbed onto Shikamaru's arm and they started walking again. After the walk Kayla locked herself in the guest room and refused to move. Rosanna was a little confused and failed multiple times trying to coax her out. So after a while she gave up and watched a little TV with Shikamaru. It continued like that for days without Kayla even hinting of leaving the room until the day before the third exam.

"Hey Rosanna, I'm going to visit a team-mate in the hospital. Want to come?" Shikamaru asked trying to take her mind off of Kayla.

"Sure." They left picking up a fruit basket on the way. When they got there they asked the nurse if they could bring the basket to Choji but she said that his stomach was still recovering but they could see him if they wanted to. As Shikamaru looked down the list he stopped a little surprised. "Hey Naruto is here. I wonder what he did this time."

"Oh, he's here? We should go see him later." Rosanna said brightly. They walked to Choji's room and Shikamaru introduced Rosanna. They were talking when the nurse came in.

"Ok here you lunch." She said in a motherly tone handing him a tray.

"See ya Choji," said Shikamaru while walking out the door with Rosanna.

"We should go see Naruto now. I'm sure he doesn't have any visitors and I heard he's been out cold for 3 days."

"Where'd you hear that?"

"Um... a nurse. Ya."

"Fine what a drag." When they got there Naruto was out cold so they started playing a game of Go. Shikamaru had to remind Rosanna of the rules a lot.

"Man is he ever going to wake up? Maybe the kid croaked."


Kayla burst out of the room as fast as she could and ran from the house. She had to find Gaara.


"Huh? The sand stopped. What's up with that did they forget to wind it or something? What a drag." as if on cue Naruto started to stir. "So you decided to wake up"

"Your awake huh?" Rosanna said smiling.

"Where am I? What is this?" Naruto looked around groggily.

"Why, Naruto your at the hospital." Rosanna smirked.

"You've been out cold for 3 days strait"

"3 days?" he whispered until… "3 DAYS STRAIT!" he jumped up.

"Uh, ya more or less."

"SHIKAMARU. WHENS THE FINAL COMPATITION BEGIN?"

"Uh… tomorrow."

"WHAT?!" he grabbed Shikamaru by the front of his shirt. "ARE YOU CRAZY!? WHY THE HECK DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP SOONER?! I CAN'T BE LYING AROUND AT A TIME LIKE THIS I GOTTA BE GETTING READY!! AND PERVY SAGE!! WHERE'S PERVY SAGE? THAT OLD COOT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SUPERVISING MY TRAINING!!"

"Hey calm down kid. Get a grip. I don't know what you're talking about."

Naruto turned leaving a very frazzled looking Shikamaru to mess up his bed "AH! WHERE'S MY CLOTHS?! I GOTTA GET DRESSED! WHERE'D THEY PUT'EM?! WHERE ARE MY CLOTHS?! OH COME ON WHERE ARE THEY!"

"Why the fuck should we know Naruto!!" yelled Rosanna after she finished laughing.

"Ugh this kid gives me such a headache. I liked him much better when he was in a coma. Hey will you knock it off!!" Shikamaru yelled making Naruto stop his constant screaming. "Now listen, you don't want to be freaking out the day before a big competition. Resting can be the best thing." Naruto still hadn't moved so Shikamaru asked "huh? Are you ok is something wrong?"

"Ya I'm really starving" Naruto whined.

"Is that all? Man, stop scaring me like that. Oh, look at this," he showed him the fruit basket "I went to all this trouble getting this stuff for Choji, and then the doctors told me he couldn't have it. Such a drag. But at least we can eat it."

"Choji? You mean he's here in the hospital too?"

"Nothing to worry about. All he's got is a bad case of indigestion. He ate one short rib too many."

Naruto burst out laughing, "I should've figured. That's just like him."

"Ya, well you two are just luck we're around or you wouldn't have any visitors. Here" he tossed him an apple.

"Well, yes that true, if it wasn't for us you wouldn't have any visitors." Rosanna smiled

"Oh wow this looks delicious." He stopped.

"What? What is it now?"

"Lets eat it in front of Choji it'll drive him crazy." Naruto said half laughing.

"Hell fucking no that mean and heartless" yelled Rosanna

"Aww" whined Naruto.

"Why don't we go visit Lee instead?" said Rosanna.

"Alright" said Naruto with a big goofy grin on his face.


Kayla ran into another dead end trying to find the hospital. "Ugh why do people have to give such lousy directions!!" she turned around and ran off again.


Rosanna, Shikamaru, and Naruto walked down the halls of the hospital. When they got there Rosanna opened the door a crack and looked in. of course Gaara was there and his sand was creeping along lee ready to crush him. She put her finger to her lips signalling to be quiet and pointed in. Shikamaru instantly came up with a plan. "I'll grab him with my shadow possession jutsu so that he can't hurt Lee. Then Naruto can come in and we'll stop him." He whispered.

"Hey why can't I help out!" whispered Rosanna.

"Well, you're not a ninja I don't want you to get hurt." Shikamaru whispered back.

"But I have fucking chakra you know, and I want to fucking help!" she whispered a little louder.

"Fine." He agreed 'its useless to keep this going she won't take no for an answer.' "You help Naruto if this breaks into a fight we need to get him to leave Lee alone so were going to have to get him out."

"Got it" both Naruto and Rosanna said simultaneously.

Gaara was ready to kill him. Ready to see his blood. Ready to watch his body break into pieces. But then…"I can't move my body?!"

Naruto jumped in and punched him in the cheek and it hit Shikamaru too because he had his jutsu on. Gaara was protected by his sand armour. "What the heck do you think your doing in here you rat"

"Hey man go easy I'm using my shadow possession jutsu so when you're bashing him you're bashing me too. You got it"

"Oh sorry Shikamaru… out with it, what were you trying to pull?" Gaara just stood there looking blankly at them.

'You let him hit me on purpose didn't you?! You little sand rat!'

'No! I can't move the sand around!'

'What!?'

'I'll be able to in a bit just keep them distracted! And don't think this makes us friends I just want to see there blood flow in rivers on the floor.'


Kayla screamed in frustration as someone else gave her different directions than the person she asked a minute ago. She hated this.


"Well are you going to tell us what you were going to do?!"

"I was going to kill him," Gaara said like it was nothing.

"What?" Naruto gasped

"Why the fucking hell are you doing this Gaara!" Rosanna yelled.

"You already beat him once in the competition. What's your problem? Wasn't that enough for you. Do you have some personal grudge against him or something?"

"I have nothing against him… It's nothing that complicated. I simply what to kill him that's all."

"You know what! Your sick in the head! Your crazy!"

"Why is that a fucking reason to kill someone, if you want to?" Rosanna yelled

"Ya you think were just gonna stand by and let you do whatever you what? You sick, selfish, psycho."

"If you don't stay out of my way I'll have to kill you as well."

"OH REALLY!! WELL LET'S JUST SEE YOU TRY IT!!"

"Hey whoa kid. Take it easy!"

"We wont let you do anything or I'll tell Kayla!!" Gaara stared at Rosanna and then started to laugh. Not a loud happy laugh but a really quiet, low, creepy, crazy laugh. "You know she'll believe me over you. We're best friends and you've only known her like what a month?!"

"Like I said if you don't stay out of my way I'll kill you," he said simply.

'This girl is annoying. Why would I care if she told HER?'

'Because you liked HER remember.' But before he could argue he was knocked out of his thoughts by Shikamaru.

"Ya, ya we saw you last match against Lee we know your tuff, but you know? We have a few little tricks up our sleeves as well. Naruto and I were holding back at the competition. There are things you haven't seen yet. On top of that it's three against one. So don't be a fool, ok? Just take my advice and go. Quietly."

"You don't even know what I can do." Rosanna smirked.

"I'll say it once more. If you get in my way… I'll kill you."

Naruto wasn't thinking at all. "AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN LET'S SEE YOU TRY IT!!"

"Back off will you! We don't want to go there. This kid fights like he's mad. Like he's a demon or something."

"He can act like a demon if he wants to but you know what? I've got the real thing inside of me."

"Idiot! Leave this to me! What's the point of getting him mad."

'Ha making more bluffs. There just weaklings.' Gaara thought

'No kid, I can sense something in that boy.' Shukaku replied

"A demon huh? My demon is as real as yours is. From my birth my upbringing was not what most people would consider a happy one. To ensure that I become the strongest of shinobi my father had cast his nin-jutsu on me, infusing my unborn self with a sand spirit. I destroyed the life of the women who gave birth to me. I was born a monster."

Rosanna was really getting ticked off, "you know Kayla is still in fucking love with you and that won't fucking change!!" Rosanna screamed.

"You speak of love? Don't measure me by you standards. Love? Family? The only emotional ties I have to my family… are the ones I'd like to wrap around their necks. There only ties of hate. As for her she ran like all the others. Given life by the death of my mother I was brought into being and nurtured as the salvation of the village. I was the kazekage child. My father taught me the inner most secrets of the shinobi. He pampered and protected me, and left me to myself. For a time I thought that was love but that is when everything started…"

"When what started?"

"What was it? Are you going to tell us or not?" Gaara just stared at them. "So go on. What started? What was it?"

Gaara smiled a twisted, evil grin. 'I can move! Bwahaha. Shall we kill them now?'

'Let's toy with them first' "In the six years since I became six years old, my father tried to kill me more times than I can count."

"Hmph, you just finished saying how your father pampered and protected you. So which is it?"

"You know Kayla has gone looking for you!" mumbled Rosanna.

Gaara ignored her. "Those who get to be to strong are apt to become feared. The jutsu that gave me birth had unbalanced something in my mind; even the fools in my village finally realized I had… emotional problems. My father, the kazekage, created me as his ultimate weapon, but I eventually became a threat to the very village I was meant to save. By the time I was six I became a figure of terror to the villagers. To them I was a relic of the past that they wished would disappear. So you see I had failed at the one purpose I was given life. What then was left for me in this existence? Why go on living? For a long time I didn't have an answer to that. But in order to live you need a purpose. To exist for no reason; it's the same as being dead."

"What is this guy talking about?" Shikamaru said.

Rosanna heard footsteps and whispered into Shikamaru's ear "I think Kayla is coming. I have to stop her this will really get out of hand. Be careful." With a nod from him she raced out and down the hall only to run into Kayla. They both fell down in the middle of the hallway. Rosanna was first to recover since she so used to falling down. "Uh… Hi Kayla I see you left the room. What brings you here?"

"You know exactly why I'm here." She said getting up holding her head. She sighed and tried to walk past but Rosanna blocked her path. "What are you doing?" she asked patiently.

"Nothing, Gaara isn't here though…"

"Rose. I never said anything about Gaara." She tried to walk past again. Rosanna blocked her again.

"Oh I though that you did… lets grab something to eat." She grabbed Kayla's arm trying to drag her to the cafeteria.

Kayla snapped. "ROSANNA I KNOW YOUR LYING TO ME JUST LET ME GO!" she screamed.

"NO! You'll do something you'll regret!"

Rosanna tried to pull her away but Kayla ripped her arm out of her grasp and ran to the door. Hearing Shikamaru yell "Incoming!" she burst through the door to see the sand stop and everyone stare at her. She tried to step towards Gaara but the sand lashed out and pinned her to the wall.
