Authoress Note: Hey everyone I'm back! Sorry I've been gone so long. I really don't have an excuse so I wont put anything about it. This chapter is short and I don't know if it's any good. I wanted to get something up for you guys since It's been so long. Now for reviews! DF: Actually I did get the idea for Jacy to heal from you :). I hope you don't mind that I sorta jacked your idea. Sorry about that I shoulda asked. Konoka: Eh was that a new person leavin a review with ya? There was you an Jase an someone named Ross. Anyways I love foxes to!

I'm just working my way up to it so please don't give up on my story. Do you not like the new OC's or that I added them? Well that's all for now guys. Enjoy and R and R please!

Sighing I stretched out on my bed. My family had come by to visit and had left only a few minutes ago. As would be expected my mother had fussed over me and it drove me nuts. She means well but it can seriously get annoying. Anyways I had just closed my eyes and was considering taking a nap when I felt something land on my bed. Opening my eyes I let out a yelp.

"Ah sorry I didn't mean to scare you." Naruto said sheepishly. He had sat down on the bed next to her and leaned over to look into her face.

'Yikes talk about unexpected!' I thought trying to get my heart rate back to normal. "It's OK Naru-kun." I said smiling as I sat up.

"So how are you feeling? I wanted to come see you sooner but Iruka-sensei wouldn't let me cut class." He said scowling.

"I'm feeling pretty good. Sore but good."

"Good!" He exclaimed as he suddenly pulled me in to a hug. "When I heard you were in the hospital I got worried."

A warm feeling suddenly spread through me when he hugged me like that. I didn't know what it was and pushed it to the back of my mind for now. "Well as you can see there was nothing to be worried about."

"I'm glad. I don't know what I'd of done if you were seriously hurt." Naruto said sitting so his back rested against the wall my bed was on. "Anyways what happened?"

"We were ambushed. They came out of no where and stated attacking us. We fought back the best we could. It took forever but we fought them off. Jacy came to help me out and I'm glad he did. Then he helped to heal me a little and Zeek as well."

"Wow you guys were lucky. Do you know who attacked you?"

"No but Ruko-sensei said he would find out."

"I wonder why they attacked you." Naruto murmured.

"Who knows. Anyways how have you been?" I asked wanting to change the subject.

"Hm? Oh fine. I went to class then I'd practice. I stopped by and saw mom a couple of times. She was really happy that I did. I think she was lonely with everyone gone."

"Yeah she probably was. There really isn't much for her to do when we aren't around. Sometimes I wonder if she'd be happier if she went back to being an active ninja."

Laughing Naruto said "I can just imagine that. I'd feel sorry for any one who crossed her."

I laughed as well. He was right. Mom had been a tuff Kunoichi but then she retired when she became pregnant with the twins. If she went back to being an active nin she'd be even tougher. Any enemy nin she came across would be very sorry. "You're right Naru-kun."

"Dakota?" He asked suddenly looking a little….nervous?

"Hm?" I asked sleepily trying to stifle a yawn.

"Ah nothing, never mind. I should go now so you can get some sleep." He said climbing off the bed.

"You don't have to." I protested.

"I know that but I have a few things I need to take care of."

"Alright then." I said pulling him back down for a quick hug.

"Get some rest Kota-chan." He said before leaving the room.

Laying back down I frowned. There was deffinatly something he had wanted to say. I wonder what it was?

"Man about time he left." Cole grumbled suddenly.

Shooting him a dirty look I said "Shut it Cole. Naruto can come to see me even if you don't like it."

Scowling he said "I can't wait until they let me out of this place."

Rolling on to my side I said "Well that makes two of us."

"Actually three." Zeek suddenly said.

Smiling I looked across the room at the bed he was laying in. His burn had begun to heal nicely. The doctors said it would take a while to heal fully and that he would have a good sized scar. I was glad that he was going to be OK. Zeek was a really nice guy and didn't deserve to be hurt like that. As for Cole…….well I guess in a way he is a nice guy. Though for the most part he was a pain in the ass.

Closing my eyes I smiled as I thought of leaving the stupid hospital. I hated being in hospitals. It was so annoying to have complete strangers fussing over me and to have to stay in bed. I was an active person. Staying in bed for longer than the necessary time for sleep drove me crazy. Once I was out of here I would go and practice. I had to or else I would go nuts!
