White Walls

It's been a month and all I can think about is how fat I am. Little by little however, I am reaching a perfect weight. Just two pounds. No, eight. Nevermind, make that ten pounds. I need to look less fat, more perfect so Tou-San will come back, I lie to myself. Then mom will stop drinking endless amounts of sake, and dad will ruffle my hair and tell me how proud he is of me. I just have to lose 13 pounds, I think to myself. Just thirteen.

At the academy we are sparing today. I wish Ino-chan good luck, her going up against Hinata Hyuuga, a close-combat specialist. They make the seal of confrontation, and ten minutes later, Ino is panting hard, on the ground. Smiling, the Hyuuga heiress reaches for Ino, helping her up. They make the seal of reconciliation and Ino walks over.
"You did amazing, Ino!" Praises shower the queen bee of the school, even though she just lost. Ino slings an arm around my shoulder and grins at me. I hide my wince at the unexpected contact and grin right back at her, until I hear my name being called.
"Haruno Ami vs. Sakura!"
I curse every god I know. Ino gives me a sympathetic look and I trudge reluctantly into the spar area.
"Begin!"
The instructors voice sounds, and then I'm dodging every hit I can, until a punch to the stomach has me retching up everything I have in my stomach, which is nothing but a tiny apple. I taste the acid my bile brings at the back of my throat, and then everything is spinning around and around, gradually turning my world black.

I smell the antiseptic before I open my eyes and I know I'm in a hospital. Slowly opening my eyes up, I see nothing but white. Then the door opens and out comes a pretty lady, with brown hair and chestnut eyes. She has two purple rectangular birthmarks stretched across her cheeks. She gives me a bright, happy smile and holds out a calloused and scarred hand. I clasp her hand, surprised that her hands are still somehow smooth.
"Hello Haruno-chan, my name is Rin Nohara, and I'll be your personal doctor from now on."
