"Are you sure that there was nothing else internal?" The silver haired Jounin asked, watching the nurse who had just came out of the room where one of his students rested in critical care.
"The doctors did everything they could to sew up the wound in her collarbone, but they can't be sure if the muscle will work until she wakes up." The nurse explained and Kakashi nodded, signaling that the nurse could go.
"Kakashi-sensai!" He turned around and saw Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke running towards him, Naruto the one who yelled his name. He sent out one of his nin dogs, Pakkun to go and find the rest of his team when he got word of Sierra's state. "What happened to Sierra-chan!" Sakura yelled, the instant she reached him, as what he expected.
"It seems from the information team eight gave me, Sierra was attacked by missing nins of the mist. She seemed to have protected the princess, with the cost of almost loosing her life."
"WHAT!?" Naruto yelled and Sakura gasped loudly, making Kakashi wince slightly. He should've let the life part out. Figuring that he should calm them down before they thought their teammate would die, he interjected, "Don't worry, she's in critical condition, but the doctor's don't know if she will make it through the night from all the blood she lost." Naruto's and Sakura's face twisted into more horror and he sweatdropped. He wasn't made for reassuring people.
"Kakashi-sensai!! Your making it worse!" Sakura yelled and Naruto yelled right after, "Stop making it seem worse then it is!!"
"Ssssshh!" A passing by nurse scolded and the two genin's snapped their mouths shut.
"Sensai, are we able to see her?" Sakura asked, once the 'sshing' nurse turned the corner. He shook his head and Naruto yelled, "Why not!" "You're in a hospital dobe." Sasuke, who everyone forgot was there due to lack of talking, said, giving Naruto his infamous glare. The blonde saw this and growled, "What was that Sasuke-tem--" "Naruto! Shut up and don't talk to Sasuke-kun like that!!" Sakura slammed her fist into the top of the blonde's head to shut him up. It worked and Kakashi-sensai sweatdropped. He still wondered if passing this team was a good thing.
"To answer your question Naruto, not even I am able to visit her until she wakes up, but even after that, we're going to have to wait until she's questioned."
"Questioned? What for!?" Sakura interupted and Kakashi nodded. "ANBU officers are going to want to know what happened and determine if the village could be in danger."
"But she'll be exhausted when she wakes up! Don't they care about that?" Kakashi looked over at the pink haired girl, understanding how she was feeling. He had watched the two girls become good friends during the long hours of training and knew it was hard for the girl to understand why she wasn't able to see her. Glancing over at Naruto, he saw the same kind of worry in his blue eyes, but in a more determined, I'll-kill-those-bastards, look, most likely for the men who attacked Sierra. He too, had made good friends with the girl, but in a brother sister way.
"ANBU officers are only doing what they have to for the village. They aren't suppose to worry about the well-being of one ninja at the cost of millions of people." Kakashi said and Naruto's face darkened.
"Sierra isn't 'just' a person. She's just as important then any one of those millions of people."
Sakura looked over at the angered blonde and watched him with wide eyes. She's never seen him look that angry, even at the times that he was faced in near death situations where one of their friends were in danger.
Kakashi stared evenly at his student and said, " I never said that Sierra wasn't important. She's part of this team just like you, Sakura, and Sasuke. She holds great importance to us, as everyone she's met."
Naruto's seemed to get a little less darker and he didn't have time to say anything, when the door flew open, a nurse screaming, "SOMEONE GET THE DOCTOR!!!"
"Sakura, get the doctor! Naruto go with her!" Kakashi ordered and turned towards the nurse, "What's happening!?"
"She's going into convulsions!!"
The words stung at the three genins, and Sakura and naruto wasn't able to move. Their feet were frozen at the realization that their friend was in a emergency.
Kakashi, sensing that his students were still there, whirled around and ordered, "Get the doctor now!" That seemed to snap the two out of their terror and both of them started running down the hallway, Naruto screaming, "WE NEED A DOCTOR!"
"I need help holding her down before she opens her wounds!" The nurse panicked and kakashi nodded, signaling that he was going to help. The nurse quickly whirled around and ran back into the room, ordering the silver haired Jounin how to hold her.
Sasuke, ouside the room jogged slightly towards the entrance to the room and froze in place as he saw a heavily bandaged body jerking in the bed, Kakashi-sensai holding what seemed to be the body's shoulders. His eyes widened, something that only rarely happened, but staring at the jerking body he suddenly felt sick to his stomach. He never thought that the girl, who he thought was almost someone equal to him, he'd never admit that she was exactly one hundred percent equal, was in such a helpless state.
Kakashi held down Sierra's shoulders with one hand as he held her stomach with his other hand. His visible eye was widened to the point it was shaking ((A/N: you know how in the shows they do a close up and it looks like their eyes shaking? That's how it looks,okay?.)) The oxygen mask that was over Sierra's mouth fogged by desperate breathing, noise escaping it. Sierra was fighting for breathing and Kakashi could feel the girl's heartrace slamming against her chest a mile per second. They needed a doctor now or she would surly die.
"Move out of the way!" A man's voice yelled and Kakashi was quickly ushered out of the room, four nurses taking the position that he was controlling. The door slammed on his face and he stared at the door, his visible eye opened wide. He could feel his students lingering behind them, fear radiating towards him where he stood, most likely coming from Naruto and Sakura, but part of him knew that Sasuke was in fear too, even though the teen never showed it. But sure enough the teen was radiating the feeling, just not as strongly as the other two. And for once, Kakashi didn't care about the way he was showing so much emotion in front of them.

'Hey, you're Naruto Uzamaki, right, the loudmouth in the class?'
A young blonde boy turned around at the call of his name and his eyes widened at the somewhat shorter brunnette girl who stood in front of her.
The girl smiled when she saw the look of surpise on his face and asked for his name was what she said. He nodded, unsure where this was going and part of him felt like she was going to be another one who will tease him, just like all of the kids in the class.
'You're a pretty cool person. Wanna play tag?'
The blonde's eyes widened and he looked at her, hoping that she wasn't playing around with him, one of those sick joke's to get his hope's up. But it confused him when he saw sincereity in the green eyes looking over at him.
' Well are you coming, or are you going to sit on that swing all day?' The brunnette asked, putting her hands on her hips, impatiently.
'You're serious?'
The girl gave him a wierd look and she said, ' Why would I ask you if I didn't want to play?'
The blonde mulled over the thought for a moment, before a wide grin spread across his face.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto slowly paced in front of the door where his friend was in and glanced at it every so often to see if the door would miraculously open within the next millisecond. The room became extremely quiet and the silence had him knawing in the inside that something was wrong. No hospital room that had over ten nurses and two doctors should be that quiet.
Sakura was just as worried as Naruto was, but she didn't move from the seat that was given to her, only wringing her pink clothing tightly in her hands. Even if she wanted to move around like Naruto, she couldn't. Her body was to afraid that if she moved from that spot, the door would open and bad news would only come. So she stayed put.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Sakura-chan, do you need help?'
The pink haired girl looked up from the ground that she was just kicked upon and her eyes widened, up at a small girl, no bigger then her.
'Huh?'
"I asked you if you needed help. You need someone to help you up, so I asked if you needed help. No one else wants to and I don't see anything wrong with you.'
'You're not going to tease me, b-because of my f-forehead?'
The brunnette looked up at the girl
s forehead like she was just seeing the size of it and the pink haired girl lowered her head back towards the ground, seeking solance in the dirt in front of her face.
'What's wrong with your forehead? I don't see anything wrong, except that you were pushed into the ground. So you need to get up darn it.'
To prove her point, the girl grabbed the pink haired girl's arm and with all her small might, hosted the girl up to her feet.
Surprised, the girl stumbled some, but the brunnette held onto her arm until she was steady, saying, 'There, doesn't that feel better? I'm sure your friend Ino-chan, wouldn't like it if you stayed there and cried.'
The girl's eyes widened in surprise and the brunnette smiled.
'What are you staring at me like that for? Did I do something wrong?'
The pink haired girl shook her head.
'Then what's with the look? You're supposed to thank me and since I think that playing tag with me is a thanks enough, you gotta play. Fair enough?'
The pink haired girl's eyes only got a lot more wider and she thought over what the brunnette said, before slowly nodding her head. Just as she nodded her head, her arm was grabbed and the brunnette pulled her along with her as she started laughing.
Little Sakura only managed to keep up with the laughing girl as she stared at her and slowly, a smile came to her face, followed by laughter.

(Some where else in the village)
"So sis, how's he doing?" Kiba Inuzuka asked, crouching down where a small box held Sierra's medium sized pup. His sister, Hana Inuzuka, the best veteranarian in the village, knelt near the box. She looked up when her brother walked into the room. "He should be fine, just needs to rest for a small while and let his wound heal some. The kunai didn't penetrate anything internal. Do you know anything of his owner?"
Kiba shook his head and shrugged his shoulders, "Why should I care, it's her fault anyway."
"Kiba." He ducked his head some at the warning tone in his sister's voice. No one messed with Hana Inuzuka unless they wanted the Haimaru triplets sicced on them, not even her brother.
"What?" He growled sheepishly and Hana eyed him sharply. "You of all people should know better. We need all the ninja's in the village, and this little guy's owner is a part of those nin's, as is you. You should care about everyone in this village."
Kiba snapped his head to the side to avoid his sister's gaze. "Not that losing one more will hurt. Million's die everyday. We found that out when dad died."
Hana gave her brother a sympathetic look. She was still grieving over their father's death, but she knew Kiba was grieving more then she was.It hit him pretty hard when he found out, and this was at least six years ago. He was nine at that age and loosing their father was in the worst thing possible for him.
Kiba didn't see the look, but he felt it and said, "Stop giving me that look already."
Hana's look disappeared and was replaced by her normal cool self, fixing him with an even glare. "Why don't you go find out how Team seven's cooping, find out about that's girl health, and if she's awake, tell her that her pup needs to rest and that there's nothing life threatening."
Kiba whirled his head around, "Why do I hav--"
"Now, Kiba." Hana interupted and Kiba snapped his mouth shut, storming off a second later with a loud growl.
Hana watched her brother depart and one of the Triplet's whined, placing their muzzle on her shoulder. She glanced at her companion, before a pressence was made known in the room, where Kiba just stormed out of. Hana didn't have to turn around to know who it was. She sensed that her mother was watching the siblings exchange long before they started talking. "He's going to learn the hard way that everyone in this village is important."
"He already knows that, Hana. He's just to pig headed, taking after his father might I remind you, to show that he knows it. Sooner or later he will confront that and when he does, it'll be his choice to embrace it, or leave it."
"But that's what we both fear. What if he leave's it? What will we do then."
"It'll be just all the more harder on the road to becoming a ninja."
The sentence hung in the air and just like that, Tsume Inuzuka's pressence disappeared, leaving her older daughter to think about it. She sighed and put her hand on the drugged puppy before her, stroking it's light golden fur slowly.
'He can't make that discision alone. Someone has to show him the right path to choose.'
