Chouji opened his eyes slowly giving a small whine as his eyes tried to adjust to the bright light. "N-Neji?" He whispered softly as he looked for the Hyuga.

"He's resting up son," Chouza answered as he held his sons hand, "Don't worry," He kissed his cheek, "He'll be back soon,"

Chouji's eyes became shrinked wrapped in tears as he looked at him, "I-I want t-to see him,"

"You will, don't worry, i'll get him for you okay," He smiled warmly. "I'm gonna see if Ino or Shikamaru can sit with you okay," He got up from the chair next to the bed, and walked out the room.

a few moments later, Shikamaru came into the room "You think this is gonna let you out of training?" He smirked at him, "You know Asuma sensei won't accept this,"

Chouji gave a small chuckle as he looked at his friend, "I-I'll be ready for our next mission, s-soon," He tried to sit up.

"Nah, relax, you deserve it," He smiled warmly at the other, "Besides, with you in here, i can relax, and not have to worry about doing any work for a while," He smirked.

Neji had gone to Chouji's and waited in his house for Chouza's word to go back, he went to the room and lay down on the bed, finally feeling his tired limbs become at rest, sleep coming to him soon.

WHen Chouza walked into the room, he could see Neji's exhausted body curled up holding Chouji's pillow tightly," Neji," He whispered as he sat on the bed shaking the ohters shoulder softly, "Hey, I just wanted to tell you the Chouji is awake,"

Neji jumped up yawning a little it,"O-Oh!" He yawned, rubbing his eyes. "Okay I'll head there now,"He got off the bed, slowly.

"Neji, take a nap okay," Chouza smiled, "I have Shikamaru with him righ now, He'll still be there once you rest up okay,"

"I'm fine Chouza-san," He smiled, a little bit, when he had finally started walking towards the door. "I-I'll lay with him when i get up there," He yawned as he started to walk out the room, "I promise i will then."
