The last few hours were a nightmare. I swear Tsunade must have thought I had been making fun of her earlier on because the processes I had to suffer were painfully slow. By the time we had left the hospital, it was starting to get dark again. The memory of Tsunade telling me what had been inside me flashed into my mind again, sending a shiver down my back.

"Are you ok?" Kakashi asked, suddenly appearing closer beside me then he had before. I chewed my lip nervously at the sudden closeness between us.

"I'm fine." I smiled back at Kakashi, before focusing back on the scene in front of me as we made our way to Nene house. I could tell Kakashi didn't believe me one bit but decided not to push the subject and he was right not to believe me. Ever since I had left the hospital I had felt different. I couldn't put my finger but I had felt more withdrawn from people when they came to visit me. The only person I would let near me was -well not person, mammal- Coco and the other dogs. Plus Tsunade had trouble with examining me as well and it took all my might not to run off every time she touched my wrist to check my pulse. Kakashi began to move a little further away but still keeping close. I let go of a deep breath that I hadn't realised I had been holding. What the hell was wrong with me? I thought angrily at myself. Whatever it was I hoped it was only temporary because I could see my strange behaviour was not only affecting me but everyone around me as well. Even Sayrui seemed to act different around me (she had been dragged over by Itachi to see how I was doing) she didn't insult me for once. Heck! She didn't even give me one of her evil glares.

"We're here." Kakashi called to me and we jumped down from the building landing right in front of the Hyuga mansion. Unlike the other times there was no one here to meet us. Strange? I thought. Just then, the door to the house slid open and Tenten walked out, still in her dressing gown.

"Good morning Nariko, Kakashi." She bowed respectfully. "I'm sorry that we weren't out here to meet you but we felt you would be a few hours late as usual." Tenten smiled wickedly. Kakashi rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and made up some excuse about the dogs causing problems. Which I thought was unfair, since it was all Kakashi fault that we were late. Unlike the other times as well, they didn't go off to have some private discussion but instead Kakashi said a quick goodbye before disappearing and Tenten directed me into the house. Like the Uchiha mansion the place was gigantic. Great! I'm going to get lost in the hallways again, I mumble to myself miserably. What is it with these people and big houses? I wondered, as I looked around the house, just like the Uzumaki's and Uchiha's the place was covered in photographs and decorations. It was a very bright place, despite being dark outside and only a few candles were lit. Tenten was very nice and showed me to my room, before leaving she asked if I needed anything. I said I was fine. When she left I threw my stuff on the floor and fell onto the bed, thinking back to what I had just said to Tenten. I was not fine, I was far from fine.

"Wake up sleepy head!" Nene voiced screamed through my head. My head jerked up for a second, before settling back down into the pillow again.

"Hmmhmhmnmmhuhhh" I muffed through the pillow. Translation: Get hell out I'm trying to sleep here.

"I had no idea what you just said but whatever you said, it still time to get up. It's nearly eleven." She nagged. Grumbling into my pillow I grabbed one of the pillows and chucked it in Nene direction. However, my aim was clumsy and flew straight past Nene head without her needing to dodge it. I grabbed the other pillow and dug my head underneath it. I thought that Nene might grab the pillow that I had thrown at her and used it as a hitting weapon to get me out of bed. Instead, I felt the bed lower ever so slightly with the added weight. "What happened to you?" It was barely a whisper, but I could still hear the pure emotion that came from it.

"To be honest I don't know either." Was all I could say. For four days now I had felt people mentally ask me that question. But Nene was the first to say it out loud and to my face (the bit that wasn't in the pillow anyway).

"Well, tell me about it," She smiled sadly, "maybe we can figure out together." Her voice sounded so reassuring that I believed it might work.

"Ever since I got out of the hospital, I feel that everyone is a consent threat to me." I began, trying my hardest to stay calm, "I just feel so...so..."

"Vulnerable?" She suggested, since I was having trouble finishing off the sentence.

"Yeah! That's exactly how I feel." I answered smiling. I knew it seemed ridiculous to be smiling at something like that but I finally understood what I had been feeling for the past few days. The question now was why?

"Oh sweetie, don't you see?" Nene cried out all of a sudden.

"No." I snapped more sharply then I intended. Nene didn't seem to notice and began to explain what she meant.

"Nariko, all of your life you've had to guard yourself from monsters, people and starvation. Finding out that you've had something inside you for years and not knowing about it has made you seem more fatigue." I ponder on what Nene had said to me for a few minutes, putting what she said and what I been feeling for the past couple of days together.

"I find it amazing that everyone can read me like a book except me." I stated glumly. "Now the question is how do I get over it?" We both lay there, thinking of this question.

"How do you feel about a fight?" Nene asked slowly. Before I could ask her what the hell see meant she jumped off the bed and run out of the room. Curiosity got the better of me, so I followed her out of my bed and out of the house, only to duck the next second when a kunai got thrown at me head.

"Kami! Nene! What the hell do you think you are doing?" I shouted at her when I dodge another kunai. Nene said nothing but came at me with a kunai in her hand. I grabbed one of the kunai out of the wall just in time to block Nene attack. I pushed her away but she just came at me again. What the hell was she doing? I shouted to myself, as she came out me attack after attack. I suddenly caught a glimpse of Nene leg ready to kick me around the head. I quickly grabbed her leg and pulled it around. Her body fell heavily on the fall. I quickly kicked the weapon out of hand. Before she had a chance to get back up again I quickly pinned her down.

"See, not so fatigue are you." Nene smiled up at me. Confusion ran through my brain as I stared back at her in utter disbelief.

"What do you mean?" I demanded. Getting more confused by the second. I stood up so Nene could sit up. A wide grin was spread across her face.

"You just kicked my ass. So you shouldn't feel fatigue anymore." I could do nothing but just stare at her.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" I cried out. I felt like something had picked me up and thrown me into crazy town. Nene just laughed and stood up right next to me. She made some kind of hand gesture at me and her.

"You're not jumping back in fright anymore." She grinned. She was right. I had just notice that I hadn't jumped back like I would usually do if someone was close to me. I was waiting to see if my body would suddenly react and force me to jump back any second.

"Wohoo!" I cheered, jumping as high as I could in the air. "I'm cured of whatever physiological phrase I was going through!" Nene could only laugh and point as I began jumping up and down in the air.

"Come on Nariko." She laughed as she pulled me back into the house. "It time for breakfast and dad's probably thinking you've been kidnapped now." We both laughed at the statement, as Nene and I walked back into the house.

A few days past, Nene and I barely spent a minute apart from each other. We watched movies, did some training, shopping (though I did feel sorry that Neji had to come every time because I thought the continuous shopping must be driving him crazy), we even changed Jin diaper together. I liked spending time with little Jin. He was the cutest baby I had ever seen. Every time I went to town with Nene (and Neji) I would always bring back a little toy for him. Tenten had tried to stop me spending my money on him, otherwise he'll grow up to be spoilt but I just couldn't help myself. That was why I was playing with him right now on the floor mat, while Nene and Itachi sat watching us and trying to suppress laughter. I couldn't really blame them since I was making the most ridiculous baby faces at Jin. Nene got up and muttered something about going to the toilet. I was glad that she had finally left because I needed to ask Itachi question that I had been suppressing for the last couple days now.

"So how long have you and Nene been together?" I grinned. I had to use all the will I could muster, so I didn't laugh when Itachi face had dropped.

"I don't know what you are talking about." He stated after regaining his composer.

"Come on, admit it." A small smile began to grow across my face, as an evil idea popped into my head. "If you don't then I'll start making funny songs up about you two and sing them out loud so everyone in the village can hear them." Itachi gave me one of the scariest looking death glares I had ever seen, but I still held my ground.

"You wouldn't." He threaten. My evil gin grew even wider as I began to sing.

"Itachi and Nene, sitting in a tree. K-i-s-s-i-n-g, first comes..."

"Alright! Alright!" Itachi interrupted, his hands rustling with his hair. "We've been dating for nearly a year now." Despite the fact that he was annoyed like hell at me at this moment, a small smile had appeared on his face as he thought of the time he and Nene had spent together. "How did you figure it out?" He asked, curiosity was written all over his face.

"It's kind of hard to miss the love notes you send her every morning, plus the flowers that mysteriously appear every time you come around and the looks you give each other when you think no one's watching." I listed, seeing Itachi face turn redder and redder by the second. Jin small cry caught my attention, as I lifted him up on to my lap and began tickling his belly.

"I guess you can't wait to have kids huh." Itachi smiled sweetly, as he watched me and Jin together.

"Hey! Don't try and change the subject." I argued back, as I sat Jin on my lap and gave Itachi evils. Try to anyway.

"What's going on?" Nene call from the door way and sat next to Itachi. Itachi seemed to be debating with himself, if he should tell her that I knew about their relationship or not.

"We were just talking about you and Itachi being together." I spoke after a while of silence. If he wasn't going to say anything then I will. Nene turned to Itachi in shock.

"You were talking about what!" She cried and hit Itachi on the head with a cushion.

Yesterday was so funny. It took five minutes for Nene to stop hitting Itachi over the head with the pillow. I would of jumped in to stop her but I just thought the scene was too funny and plus I was busy playing with Jin. When she did finally calm I explained that I had figure it out and I had I had forced Itachi into revealing information.

"Ok girls, I'll see you later." She kissed the top of Nene head and picked up Jin before setting off to the hospital. It seemed that Jin had come down with a bug overnight, so Tenten was going to the hospital to get him check. Even though I could of checked him over, she said I had done enough nice stuff for him already, besides he already had an appointment to get a flu jab anyway. I hope he's alright, I prayed to myself.
