Mika woke to find herself still beside her Sensei. She got out of the medical bed she was in, and walked over to her and felt her head. "No fever. That's good. "She said.

"Is it?" Kaida asked, just waking up at the feeling of Mika cool hand on her head.

"You're awake. How do you feel Sensei?" Mika asked.

Kaida sat up and looked around. "I feel alot better now." She said. "Are we in Sunagakure?" She asked.

"Yes. Why didn't you tell us you didn't feel well?" Mika asked.

"How did I get here?" Kaida asked back, trying to avoid answering the question.

"Gaara carried you. Answer the question Sensei." Mika said.

Kaida thought about not answering, but knew Mika would continue to ask. "Because I thought I could last 'til we got here. It's happened before. I can live with feeling sick. I didn't think it was as bad as it was." She said.

"What do you mean 'happened before'? Are you saying you're not completely well?" Mika asked. No one told her her Sensei was still ill. "Why didn't you tell someone?" She asked.

"I didn't want my father to freak out. If he knew I still get sick, he'd never let me leave my room." Kaida said. "I can take care of myself. I've never passed out before though. I guess it was where Nishi almost killed me, and my immune system is weak. I don't get sick often." Kaida said, then she thought of something. "You are not to tell anyone about this." She said to Mika.

"I won't tell anyone Sensei. If I told someone we wouldn't have you to lead us anymore. And if I told someone you'd be locked in your room for the rest of your life with nothing but a medical ninja you don't like to keep you company, and you'd end you going on a killing spree from boredom. I may not have known you long, but I still know you. You can not stay sane while being locked in a room with a medical ninja because you get sick like everyone else in the world." Mika said.

All of this was true. Kaida would end up going on a killing spree if she were locked in a room with a medical ninja for the rest of her life. And knowing her dad, he would put her with a medical ninja she didn't like. "Thank you." Kaida said.

"You're welcome. I should let the boys know you're awake. "Mika walked to the door and stopped one of the people walking by. "Will you please tell Shinichi, Dain, Temari, Kankuro, and the Kazekage that the Princess is awake?" She asked her.

"Yes ma'am." The woman walked off to tell the people what the young ninja said.

"You said Gaara carried me here. He carried me the whole way?" Kaida asked.

"Yes. It only took have the time it would usually take. He wouldn't stop for anything or anyone, not that anyone wanted to stop." Mika said the last part more to herself.

Kaida made her hair fall over the side of her face to hide the blush. Who knew something as simple as helping her get to the village after passing out could cause Kaida, the Wind Dragon, as she was known in her village, to blush.

"Are you okay Sensei?" Mika asked, having seen the blush, thinking it was something else.

"Yes, I am fine." Kaida replied, suddenly feeling drained. "Just a little tired I suppose." She added.

"You do look tired." Mika put her hand on Kaida head to check for fever." Still no fever. That's good." Mika mumbled to herself.

"That is good." Mika and Kaida turned their heads to find Shikamaru standing in the doorway with Temari next to him.

"Hi." Kaida said.

"Hi back." Shikamaru just nodded, back to being slightly lazy. "Feeling well?" Temari asked.

"I suppose. I've felt better, but I've also felt worse." Kaida replied.

Temari and Shikamaru walked into the room and stood next to the bed. Mika started to check Kaida's viltals. Gaara and Kankuro got to the roomk just as Shinichi and Dain did.

"How are you doing Sensei?" Dain asked.

"Very good. Thank you." Kaida replied.

Gaara said nothing, but was glad Kaida was feeling well. He was so sorried about her. He had to tell her haw much he loved her. But he didn't know how, or even when he could tell her, but he had to tell her.

"Can I please moved into the room with you now Mika?" Kaida asked her student.

Mika lughed and shook her head. "Yes you can. I've already put your things in the room. I'll help you get there." Mika helped Kaida to her feet, but lost her balance. Gaara grabed them both and stopped them from falling to the ground. He picked Kaida up bridal. Kaida blushed. Mika put her hand on her head to check for fever again. Everyone must have thought it was normal since she was sick.

Gaara carried her to the room and set her on the bed. "You should rest now Sensei." Mika said.

"But I've been resting." Kaida fake whined. "If you say so doc. You sound like a full flegded medical ninja, instead of a trainee." Kaida added.

"You're not a medical ninja?" One of the medical ninja asked.

"Not really. I'm still a trainee, but I've been learning from my mother since I could walk." Mika said. "I have to train with Sensei befvore I can be called a full medical ninja. When she says I'm readdy for thhe title, then I'm made a medical ninja." Mika added.

"Well I think you're ready. I give you the title of medical ninja." Kaida said to Mika. Mika was shocked.

"Are you serious?" Mika asked.

"Would I joke about something like that?" Kaida asked, laughing and shaking her head.

Mika couldn't help but jump for joy. "Wait 'til mom finds out." She cryed.

"She'll be happy." Shinichi said. He then turned to Temari and asked, "Is there a place we could train?"

Kaida started to laugh again. Temari chuckled. "Sure, follow me." She said, then turned to walk out the door.

"You coming sis?" Shinichi asked his sister.

Mika looked at Kaida. She didn't want to leave her alone. "Go on. I'll be fine by myself. I'll just sleep for awhile." Kaida said.

"What if your fever goes up?" Mika asked. You can never stop being a medical ninja.

"I'll be fine. Like I said before, this has happened before." Kaida said.

"You also said it has never been ths bad before." Mika arued. She did want to go.

"I can tell I'll be okay." Kaida argued back.

"If it will make you feel better, I'll have someone check on her every five minutes." Gaara said.

"Okay." Mika left the room after her brother, and Dain. Shikamaru and Kankuro had left to train before they had brought Kaida to her room. Now the only ones left in the room were Kaida and Gaara. Kaida layed her head on the pillow, and closed her eyes, thinking Gaara was going to leave and take care of the village business.

"Kaida." Kaida opened her eyes when Gaara said her name.

"Yes Gaara?" She asked.

"Can I tell you something?" Gaara seemed strange. He seemed afraid to tell her.

"Of course." Kaida said.

"I...I," Gaara seemed at loss for words. Kaida sat up.

"What is it Gaara?" She asked.

Gaara was thinking about not telling her. "I love you." He burst out.

Kaida looked at him in shock.
