A/N: I've gotten reviews about short un-descriptive sentences, This chapter will be better. Promise! Also, the last chapter had Sasuke out of the hospital, Gomen Hasai! I forgot he was in while typing that chapter.
Pre-Chap Chat:
Lacey: Sasuke was right… that was awfully awkward…
Sasuke: What is with you?
Sakura: I liked how she shot down Naruto. I don't know why he listens to her though.
Naruto: A-annoying?
Gloria: Sister-
Lacey: Gloria! Don't you talk to me! Not after the hospital thing!
Gloria: Huh?
Lacey: I knew you were planning on something by sending me there alone!
Sakura: Oh yeah. That was weird. You were really freaking out…
Gaara: You can say that again...
--------------------
I awoke back at the cabin after a long night trying to fix the ribbons that I thought until now was unbreakable. With a hollow yawn I stared to the ceiling. "I'm still in my clothes…" I pulled my headband out of my hair and put back in a different way. (A/N: Like Sakura's) I sat up. With a loud crash I yanked my head down. "Damn it! I'm on the top bun-!" I had slipped off the side. I felt dizzy. "Ow…" I laid there for a second felling the smooth cold wood on my back until I decided to tough it out and get up. "I must've left my batons with Sensei… I guess I'm not training today…" I rubbed my head again. I leapt over to my worn dresser. Within minutes I slipped into a sun-dress. I sighed and looked down at my feet only to see worn out sandals. "What am I going to do with these?" I slipped them off and walked to my closet, which had its door ripped off in old age. I pulled out a new pair and threw the old ratty ones away behind my shoulder. As I slipped them on I heard yelling from outside. I pushed them on fast and climbed up the bunk to see Gloria hollering for me outside. I placed my hands in a cup around my mouth and shouted "Just a minute!" I jumped off the bunk and thudded against the ground. "Ow… This is not my day…" I stood up and took two step until…
"I'M HUNGRY!" I swung my arms around and hugged myself around the waist, holding my stomach. "Damn it… I haven't ate in three days…" My face seemed to twitch as I reached out slowly to open the door. Before I could even reach the door, it slammed open and crushed my fingers. "GAH! AIYA! WATCH IT!" My head fell into a sweat-drop, still managing my face of pain. I heard Gloria say. "Hey, you should visit Naruto, he has been in a coma for a few days, and in a coincidence, you were too!" A smug smile showed up on her face. I twitched a few more times. "You mean to say I haven't eaten in more than just three days!" Gloria nodded with the smile beginning to grow into a grin. "No time to eat though, I mean, the main matches are tomorrow!" She said, trying to either make me hungrier, or drive me crazy. I twitched once again. "Screw you, I'm eating!" I shoved her aside and walked through the door with one arm still wrapped around my waist. "Hey, Blade! Cook me up some pancakes-oh yeah." I muttered. It slowly came back to me that he died. I huffed in my moment of least care. "Gloria…!" I shouted. "Nope! Not getting' nothin' from me!" I heard her evil voice from my room. "Fine! I'll visit! You comin'?" I shouted. "No… I want you to go a-a-all alone." Her voice having a strong sense of hate in it. I ran to the drawers and pulled out a small paper, a handheld hole puncher and a pen. I punched a hole and wrote "To Naruto, Get well! From Lacey:)" I ran outside and picked a flower and squeezed it through the hole. "AIYA! PAPER CUT!" I screamed. I laid my finger on my bottom lip.
"It kinda stings." I said. 'This really isn't my day…' I thought. My cabin is near the hospital, so thank goodness. I don't want to walk a long ways. I began to walk down the path as I began to worry about the main matches and forgot completely about my hunger. 'What are the chances I'm in a coma for just as long as Naruto, and why does she insist I go alone? What is she planning…?' I pondered as I approached Hospital doors. Inside I spotted Sakura. I shoved open the doors and got familiar chills as I spied a shadow approach her at the table. It vanished sure enough and I was able to go forward again. "Hey! Konichiwa!" I shouted at Sakura as I waved happily. "Oh, hi!" She answered. "You're that girl Naruto likes right?" She asked. "Well I- Wait! Did you just say--!" I blurted. She smiled. "Here sign in." She pointed out a clipboard. I stepped over towards it and leaned over on the table. "La-cey Na-ta-shi-ma." I spelled aloud as I was writing. "Okay!" I said. "So who are you coming for?" I asked, poking at the petals on my flower out of boredom. "Oh, I'm here for a friend, Lee-san. And maybe… Sasuke if he is back yet." She muttered. I blinked at her. "Hmm… Well, I'm coming for Naruto, and I didn't know Sasuke was in." I said, obviously confused at what I'd missed. We continued walking down the halls; I was engulfed in the silence in which was around me.
"Oh, this is my stop, bye!" Sakura said, stepping behind a door. I continued walking down the hall until I heard yelling from a room. I sweat-dropped. "That's his room alright." I murmured. I squeezed behind the door and only saw Naruto face first diving into his pillow. "Naruto?" I asked shyly. "WHERE'S MY CLOTHES! I CAN'T FIND MY CLOTHES!" Is what I heard from him first. He tore himself from his bed and looked up. "I got you this." I handed him the flower, still sweat-dropping from his welcome. I turned to see someone sitting by his bed. I smiled sweetly at him. "I'm Lacey Natashima; I was wondering your name?" I alleged. He's expression didn't change. "Shikamaru." He said simply. My face dropped in another sweat-drop. 'They sure make you feel welcome now-a-days don't they?' "Get well, Naruto." I said sweetly as I waved and stepped out the door. A now familiar angry sensation over came me. He must be near. "A wound of the heart? I fell to my knees with my hands clenched on my head again. 'I usually don't get memories!' I thought. "Yashamaru…" I closed my eyes tightly. "Hey, Yashamaru, I need ointment." I tightened my grip. "Go home! Monster!" I shoved myself up and tried to shake it off. Suddenly I heard thoughts. Something about death, about… Lee! I recognize this name. 'He was that boy Gaara was fighting!' I slammed open the door. "Naruto!"
--------------------
Before I knew it, the idiot Naruto picked a fight with Gaara in Lee-san's room. All the mixed emotions were making me feel queasy, so I stayed in Naruto's room waiting for it to end. "Ah, what's wrong with me? I can't even stay in a room where there is mixed emotion. There was fear, anger, annoyance, sadness and a hint of love somewhere in there." I sighed. "Where'd the love come in is what I want to know…" I mumbled. I rubbed my eye and laid back. I heard the door to the room open and I jerked up. "Oh, hi Sakura, what brings you here?" I asked sweetly. She looked around the room; I assumed she was looking for Naruto. "I remembered last minute Naruto was here..." She muttered, still looking around the room. I twiddled my thumbs out of boredom when a strong sensation of hate and fear at the same time smacked against me and knocked me back. Never had I been able to be pushed by the emotions. Immediately I thought "Naruto and Gaara!" A feeling this strong had to be deadly, I needed to help. "E-excuse me Sakura..." I breathed, clutching my head and bumping past her and through the door. I found the energy to yank my hand away from my head as I scanned the halls for Lee-san's room.
"It's got to be over there. That's where the feeling seems strongest." I jerked myself down the halls, making my way to the room. I burst through the door and collapsed to the ground. Shikamaru, Gaara and Naruto turned to see me. I looked up with bloodshot eyes. My mind was flashing back to torture. To a little boy with fiery red hair. To a little boy who was confused and scared. I was seeing memories. I never knew I could... that is... until now... I felt tears pour down my face. "I-I'm just like you... W-we have the same past..." I said. I looked up at Gaara with cold eyes, anger now consuming me. Gaara stood still and emotionless, only changing enough to stare down at me. I gathered enough strength to place my hand along the wall and pull myself up. "I-It's good to see I'm not the only one to feel like I was never loved..." Gaara stared still at me as I mumbled those words. A smirk slapped across my shaded face. All the emotions were still driving me crazy. "Is that why... I like you so much? Because we're the same?" Naruto stepped back. "She likes him?" He muttered. Anger clawed through Naruto's eyes. Naruto charged at Gaara angrily. I gasped and stepped forward, almost collapsing to the ground. It was too much anger for me to grip. "Naruto, you idiot!" Shikamaru blurted.
"Naruto..." I whispered, hoping that he would hear. Naruto stopped running and turned to me. "Lacey?" He answered. I looked up. "Naruto... the anger... it really hurts... stop... this feeling... is strong enough to kill me..." Naruto's eyes became blank, being in total shock. Gaara, who isn't being himself, looked as if those words affected him too. My mind eased back as the emotions lightened. I fell back against the wall, feeling the painfull slam against the wall.
