Ch 9

I was stuck in the hospital for a couple of days to make sure I get enough rest after everything as I didn't put up a fuss about it knowing I am very drained and I also didn't wanna argue with Tsunade.

Naruto and Sai did come to visit me as Sai was learning more about being friends as his been reading books and learned he should visit his friends if their hurt or sick. Naruto was still not on good terms with Sai but his making an effect, mainly seen I encouraged him to.

I did enjoy it when they came as event Yamato showed up too. I also enjoyed it when I was alone as I got to enjoy the peace but I did still have a lot on my mind too.

"mhmm,...well at least I changed the outcome of fighting with the immortal pair...but it was very close, plus I used Wilt power and transformed...it felt amazing but scary too... I can't get too reckless with power like that..." I sigh as I was sitting up on my bed a bit I lean a bit back on the bed.

While I was deep him my thoughts with my eyes closed I suddenly hear some light tapping coming from the window. I opens my eyes and glanced over and what I saw was a black crow pecking at the window with its beck.

I smile seeing it but was too tired to go get out of bed to open the window, but just had enough chakra to use a vine from my hair I have it opened the window as he flies into and lands on the bed beside me as I smile petting it gently.

I look at its legs to see for a note but there wasn't any." huh...that's weird...you are one of Itachi crows right?" I look at it wondering if I made a mistake but the crow shakes its head and caws at me as its eyes change to the Sharingan as it looks at me.

I gasp a bit in shock but when I look around I notice my surroundings have changed I was still on the hospital bed but it look like it was on water as there was nothing else for miles.

"what the...whats going on.." I was a bit concerned this was happening but annoyed with myself for getting caught in a gen jutsu so easily. Itachi" I do apologize for this Suki, but it was the quickest way to speak with you so suddenly.."

I hear his voice from the crow as it slowly morphs into Itachi as I smile at him." it's ok...but...if you needed to talk to me like this... it's something serious...right?" I look at him with a serious look as he nods at me looking with a sad look in his eyes.

Itachi" yes I'm afraid so...Sasuke has killed Orochimaru...and has formed his team, and his on the move to come for me, and I shall be waiting for him at the Uchiha Hideout..."

I listen to this as I bite my lip knowing this was going to happen soon but it still wasn't good hearing it."...are you sure it's wise to fight Sasuke his so lost and doesn't know what he's doing...Itachi he might kill you..." I look at him worried as I was fighting back tears knowing what does happen.

Itachi just gently pats me on the head looking at me gently. Itachi"... I know Suki, but it's what I have to do to protect Sasuke...and the Leaf...please understand..."

I grip my fists hearing this." No Itachi you can't...you can't throw your life away like that...please listen... it's not going to do any good for Sasuke..." I wanted to tell him what was going to happen but I feared you not believe me and make things worse.

Itachi" I appreciate your concern for me Suki but please...this must happen..I'm sorry..." he goes and hugs me gently to attempt on comforting me.

But it wasn't working for me as I just couldn't hold it in I push Itachi off me glaring at him." you will die! That's a fact Itachi I know you will and I don't want it to happen!" I shout at him at the top of my lungs letting out all the pent up anger I had.

Itachi was taken back by the sudden anger I was showing not seeing me ever get so angry, but was shocked He was what I said. Itachi "...Suki... what you mean by you know for sure ill die?"

He looks at me with a confused look as I now realize what I just said it comes to me I said as I quietly calm down as I was going a bit pale as I covers my mouth with my hands.

Itachi looks at me getting more worried but lets me calm down first before he questions me more. I took a few minutes to calm down as I put my hands down taking a deep breath."... I can explain...but...I wanna talk about that...in person.."

I look at him with a pleading look as Itachi was struggling to say no to you but sighs and gives in not wanting you stuck in the jutsu for too long. Itachi"..alright fine then Suki...ill send another crow soon to you for my location then we can talk, ok?"

I nod at him glad he agreed." yes thank you... I promise ill tell you everything...just...try not to freak out..." I was still nervous about him being told the truth about me but he assured me it be fine by tapping me on the forehead.

Itachi" please don't worry Suki, till then please take care..." he smiles at me gently in a blink of an eye the gen jutsu is done as I'm back in the hospital and the crow is gone and my window is closed.

I take a minute to collect myself on what happened as I lay down on the bed hoping this goes well.

I rest for another two days till I was let out of the hospital. Thankfully when I got back to my room I see a small scroll on my balcony I go picking it up and opens it.

As I suspected it was from Itachi as it was his location I was happy to get it now. Thankfully I didn't have any missions any time soon so I can make some excuse to go out of the village.

I had to act quickly as I got a bag together and tells my parents I had to go do something I says goodbye to them and heads off quickly now. I do my best to avoid anyone I know so I won't get stopped and wonders where I was going.

I was able to get to the main gate and gives a reasonable excuse they believe as I was able to hurry off now. I had thought of just sneaking out but figure that just gets me in a lot more trouble than it's worth.

Once I was far from the village I felt a bit more relaxed now as I keeps going as I had to travel a fair bit away to get to Itachi's location. but every step I took many thoughts raced through my head.

"...what if Itachi thinks I'm insane...would he believe me...I mean I told my perytons...they believed me...but will Itachi too...can I even save his life... it's not just Itachi...can I stop Sasuke before things get too crazy later...so much will happen.."

I think of when Pain will attack the leaf, and the even worst before is when Jiraya is killed. Thinking more and more of the bi things where people important to me lives are in danger troubles me a lot.

While feeling all this I decide to have a break I go and sits under a tree to relax in the shade as I lean back on it taking some much needed deep breaths.

"...urghh...the stress of everything...it always gets so bad when big events are coming up... I'm not sure if I'm strong enough to change it all... I must be getting ahead of myself..." I sigh as all the negative thoughts consume my mind it was getting harder to relax as I could feel it was harder to breathe.

I flinch and quickly sit forward as I hug myself as I breathe fast and my heart was beating fast."...damn it...I'm having a panic attack... ok I got this...just got to take deep breaths to control my breathing..."

Thankfully with my medical training, I was taught how to deal with stuff like this as I work on the steps to calm down myself by taking slow deep breaths.

I was shaking while breathing as I could feel sweat build up on my forehead and hands too. I keep this up telling myself that I'm ok, everything will be alright. I keep repeating these in my head till slowly I control my breathing as I felt my heart rate was going down.

I slowly let go of myself as I keep taking deep breaths and reach into my bag and takes out the water I have and sip some of it slowly. Once I felt more relaxed I wipe my forehead clean now as I lean back on the tree.

"phew...I'm glad I was able to help myself...the medical knowledge helped...I calmed down much faster than ever and even in my old life... I still feel a bit lightheaded I shouldn't get up too soon."

I shut my eyes thinking back to my old life whenever I did have a panic attack I ended up crying and breathing fast and I felt so much pain and they took so long to calm down.

This mostly used to happen so much at school where I was once bullied and had few friends. I shake off the thoughts of my old life not wanting to have another panic attack as I sigh and look up to the sky threw the leaves and branches of the tree.

"I don't normally think of my old life...always feel so painful... but I can't deny how I'm so much happier I am here, I enjoyed school, I made friends...I'm learning and training so much... even with all the scary stuff...I'm still much happier."

I smile a bit feeling much better about things and how my life is now as I finally feel good enough to eat the packed lunch I made for myself as I slowly eat it enjoying the peace.

Alright wasn't that fun ^^, ok now the panic attack or thinking how much pressure Suki is under...and not knowing how Itachi will react to what she says...uh yea, I'm sure it be fine ^^'...I think... anyways I hope you enjoyed and ill see ye soon take care and bye bye ^^
