Sakura looked into the guestroom. The bed were in a mess but no one seemed to be in there. What she didnt know was that Itachi stood behind the door with a kunai in his hand. The girl closed the door again and headed to the kitchen. She sat down by the table again. "Is there someone here?" she asked Yumi, who almost dropped the bowl with fruit. "I.. well.. Yea.. A distant cousin of mine. That's why I couldnt do the mission today. He is kind of a loner and dont like to meet people." once again only half of it was true. It was because of Itachi, she couldnt do the mission, but they werent related. She had totally forgot abouthim when Sakura said they could be at her house. And letting Sakura walk around in the house like that. What if she had seen Itachi? It would be a disaster. And who knows, Itachi might would have killed her.
Sakura nodded slowly and took a piece of apple from the bowl that Yumi had put on the table. "There were no one in the guestroom." she then said. Yumi was just to place a piece of banana, that sat on a fork, in her mouth but dropped it. "What?" she said with a pretty loud voice. She got up hastly and hurried to the guestroom. When she got there she stopped right outside the door and opened it slowly. She saw the empty bed but she felt his presence behind the door. She guessed Sakura hadnt bothered to even try and feel his presence. "Its okay. Its just me." Yumi said shortly.
Itachi stepped out from behind the door. Holding a kunai in one hand and holding the other hand over his stomach. The blood was going through the bandages. It seemed like the wound had opened up again. "Ack. This is bad." Yumi said and grabbed Itachi's hand and pushed him down in the bed. "Lei there til I come back." she walked out from the room murmuring about it was his fault because he moved around.

She came back to the kitchen. "Sorry about that. He had hid behind the door." "Why?" Sakura asked.
"As I said. He dont like to meet people." Yumi walked over to a cabinet and took out some bandages, a tourniquet, and something to get away the blood with.. "He's got a little wound. Have to change bandages." she said and smiled to Sakura, who looked unsure for some reason.
"Do you need help?" "No no no.. No need for that. It'll be fine." Yumi walked back to the guestroom. Itachi had pulled himself up slightly, so now he was half sitting, half leing. "You shouldnt strain yourself. It was good that you hid, but you could have just pulled the cover over your head." Itachi didnt say anything. His dark eyes watched as Yumi took off the bandage from his well trained stomach and cleaned off the blood and pushed the tourniquet against the wound that made Itachi moan of pain. "Sorry." she said and wrapped the bandage around. It was easier now when he sat up. Of course Itachi had been in worse pain than this but it was a long time ago. You almost forget how much it hurt and you get awkward about how it really feels and therefore when you get hurt, it hurts alot more than you thought. I hope you understood what I said there. Oo "Now stay in bed." she said as she took up the tray with the breakfast on. He had ate/drank only half of it. But it was better than nothing. "I will be back soon." she said as she walked out of the room and headed to the kitchen.
"How did it go?" Sakura asked. "Is he okay?"
"Hai." Yumi walked over to the sink and put down the tray. She looked out through a window who sat right over the sink. What would happen when Itachi got better? Would he try to kill her? Would he thank her? .. Would he just leave?
"Are you okay?" Sakura's voice came from somewhere distant. "Yumi? Yumi?" She snapped back to the reality. "Sorry. I was dreaming. I guess Im just tired." she smiled at Sakura. It was a weak smile and it dissapeared pretty soon. "Im sorry Sakura. Maybe I should rest."
Sakura nodded. "You know where to find me." she smiled and got up. Yumi followed her to the door. "Ja ne!"
"Ja ne." Yumi walked back to the kitchen. She took out a new fork and took the bowl from the table, walked into the guestroom and sat down on the bed. Itachi was still half sitting. "You are causing me trouble, you know." the girl said and stroke some hair out of Itachi's face and feelt on his forehead. "You dont seem to have a fever. That's good."
Itachi hadnt said anything at all since he came, and Yumi felt tempted to read his mind, but didnt. If he had something to say, he would say it. Yumi put a piece of apple on the fork and started to feed him. She could tell he felt stupid. But he was very weak because he lost alot of blood. And he let her feed him so that means that he is willing to help her getting him well.
After a while Yumi stopped feeding him, and stood up. "Im going out." she said shortly and walked to the door.
"Why are you helping me?" came a voice from the bed. Yumi didnt turn around. "I dont know." she said and stepped outside and closed the door after her. She left the bowl and fork by the sink and then left the house, heading to the big gates that lead out from the village.
