Disclaimer: I Don't Own Naruto But Melody is my creation

Melody opened her eyes slowly so they could adjust to the brightness of the sun. She yawned and stretched as much as she could without pain. She moved into a sitting position annoyed by the sling on her arm causing her balance to be off center and stood up walking slowly to the bathroom.
"EWWW" She cried out when she saw the cuts and gashes on her face and the distinct shape of a hand around her neck. She suddenly felt sick to her stomach as his eyes flashed across her mind. She spat out a bitter substance into a near by bucket and ran hot water in the tub. The steam cascaded over her face in a gentle mist while she put her hair into a messy bun. She pulled the curtain shut so all that was showing was her head. She had been in there for about five mins when she felt some ones eyes on her She looked around and saw Sasuke standing in the doorway grinning at her. Her face flushed as she pulled the curtain the rest of the way shut. She heard him laugh and set something on the sink.
"Don't worry I saw nothing" she heard him sit down by the window with a sigh. She carefully peeked thru the curtain.
"Is there a reason your here?" She asked her face clearly red. He giggled a very strange sound from him.
"Yeah I was told by your doctor to change your bandages and to get you out of this room for a while." He said looking out the window as if expecting some one to pop up out of no where.
"OK well can I at least get dressed in Private please" She said as he got up and left the room shutting the door behind him. She got out and put on a pair of sweat pants and a shirt that exposed the area he needed to get to. She ran a brush thru her hair and left it loose putting a hair tie around her wrist. She walked out and saw sasuke sitting in the window the wind blowing his hair softly. WOW I never thought I would admit he is hot! She thought as he looked at her and got up.
"Get over here dork" he said playfully. She walked over and sat on her bed back to him. He attached the bandage and began to wrap it around the full length of her ribcage. His touch caused a chill to run up her spine and she could tell he was smiling because of it. whats wrong with me! She mentally screamed at herself.
"I Know this is sudden but could you tell me what the man who did this to you looked like" He asked he then felt her tense but loosen up when he moved her hair out of his way.
"Like you only taller and older" She said quietly "Also his eyes were cold and emotionless your complete opposite" She felt sasuke falter as he tied the bandage. She leaned back resting her head on his shoulder placing her hand on his face gently. He pulled her to him protectively.
"Itachi" He said bitterly into her hair. She felt his tears on her head He's crying.
"I won't let him hurt you again my brother will never get to you as long as I'm here" He said tightening his grip on her frail body. They stayed this way until the door opened and the others pushed thru.
"Are we interrupting something" Naruto asked playfully. Sasuke stood glaring at him he pulled melody up with him.
"Let's go" Sasuke said pushing past sakura clearly peeved. Melody followed slowly but enough to keep pace with him.
"Whats his problem" sakura asked no one in particular. She ran to catch up with them. Sasuke had a firm grip around Melody's waist keeping her steady.
"So Mel bet it feels good to be outside" Naruto said grinning slyly. The small group stopped near where they first met to rest. Sasuke eased her to the ground and she leaned against a tree.
"Yeah but I wish I could get out unaided" She said with a sigh. Naruto started laughing like an idiot. Sakura and melody looked at him like he was crazy.
"It's official he's lost it" Sakura said wide eyed. soon silence filled the area when a shruikin just missed melody by inches. It stuck in the tree just above her head. They all stood kunai in hand except for melody who sat terrified at the sight be fore her. Thousands of needles flew at her friends they fell one by one while she sat powerless to save them. She closed her eyes to block out the sight. When she reopened them she saw three pairs of concerned eyes looking down on her.
"Are you OK you fell asleep and started screaming" Sakura asked while the other to helped hr to sit up.
"I think so" Melody said her voice betraying her words. She used the tree to get to her feet her legs shook violently. She couldn't get the image of her friends dieing because of her. Now more then ever she knew she had to get away.She had from now until her wounds were healed to figure out how. She felt tears on her face and jumped when she felt some one lift her onto their back. She could tell it was sasuke from his scent. She hated being this weak and the others could tell.
"I'm sorry" she whispered so softly sasuke barley heard her. When they got back he stayed with her like he knew she was planing something. She didn't have the strength to argue so she simply faced the wall to hide her tears and cried herself to sleep.
