Cringing in pain as your eyes open you look around seeing lots of white 'hospital…' you think to yourself.

Why was your body in so much pain…and why the hell were you in a hospital?…you wonder these thing and don't notice the door open and Sasuke walk in.

He sits next to you. You look at him with questioning eyes "w-why am I-I in a ho-hospital..? And w-why does it h-hurt so much for m-me to breath and m-move…?" you ask him

He closes his eyes and rests his hand on top of yours. He sighs "I don't exactly what happened…all I know is you destroyed the Akatsuki hide out…and all the members. Well all except Itachi...he got away"

Your eyes widen…you didn't even remember going to the Akatsuki hide out "how long have I been out for…?" You ask expecting him to say a few days

"About a month…" He replies

you gasp and jump out of the bed. You cringe in tremendous pain and fall over. Sasuke catches you; you spit up blood "what is wrong with me…?"

He sighs again and picks you up bridal style "don't worry you'll be fine...you just need to rest"

"But IV been resting for a whole month!" you wine

He chuckles and walks to the hospital window opening it and jumping out with you in his arms. You smile feeling the fresh air fill your lungs.

When you finally reach Sasuke's house he opens the door and carries you inside gently. He sets you on the couch and sits next to you. "So do you remember anything at all about what happened at the Akatsuki hide out?"

You close your eyes trying to think back… "All I remember is telling them that they made a big mistake…and then it all went black..."

He blinks and nods "well…get some rest its late…and I should probably call the hospital...seeing as there probably looking for you" The both of you snigger.

Nodding you lay your head down and immediately fall asleep happy to get away from the pain all threw out your body.

Sasuke walked back in after he called the hospital to tell the nurses you were with him. He sat down beside you and moved the hair away from your face 'why does she have to be so damn pretty…I cant believe she's mine' He thinks and smiles.

He sighs and stands up kissing your forehead and walks into his room for the night.

Xx next day xX

you woke up at about 6 in the morning feeling so much better then yesterday…but it still hurt a bit to breath. You sit up 'maybe if im really quiet…I can sneak out and train while Sasuke's sleeping and come back before he wakes up…he will never know!' you think smiling evilly.

You sit up and trudge into the spare room that you've called your own for a while now. You open a dresser and take out one of your training outfits. It was some black baggy fabric caprise and a grey t-shirt. You slip them on and put your hair up in two loose pigtails making them cover wear there should be human ears. You look into the mirror at your silver hair remembering it turned back to normal in the fight…but you don't know why…

Tip toeing to your window you open it quietly and jump out into the fresh air. You land soundlessly on the ground and run into the woods to look for some wear to train.

Jumping from tree to tree for about 5 minutes you finally come to the perfect spot. You walk into the huge clearing to see a beautiful waterfall and a lake. 'Hmmm…I don't really feel like getting wet…so ill just practice on the grass…' you think

you take your fighting stance and rush at a tree with a shurikan slicing a branch off.

Xx 6 hours latter xX

you collapse on the ground, sweat trickling down your face. You cough trying to catch your breath. It hurt to breathe but that wasn't going to stop you from training until you couldn't move.

You stand up and jump at a new tree seeing as how you demolished three in the last 6 hours. You punch it as hard as you could breaking threw it in the process. You punch it with your other hand getting the one that was stuck out, then you kick it doing a back flip off the tree but before you could get another punch in you feel someone grip you arm tightly.

Looking behind you, you see a very pissed off looking Sasuke "so this is wear you have been for the past 4 hours" He glares at you

You smile "actually –cough- six…" You cough feeling a large pain in your chest.

He raises an eyebrow and takes your hand and leads you to the edge of the lake. He sits down and you move to go back to training but he grabs your ankle "sit down…you've had enough training for today." He looks up at you
you sigh and sit next to him. You cough and wince as the pain in your chest increases slightly. He looks at you and wipes the sweat from your brow. You both smile at each other but yours was one of evil….

you snap you fingers and Sasuke is picked up by shadows and carried out to the middle of the lake. You can hear him protesting "Zandra! Don't you dare!"

You laugh and snap your fingers once again and watch as he falls into the water. You wait a few seconds and he doesn't come up for air. Your eyes widen 'what if he doesn't know how to swim!' your mind screamed at you.

You put your chakra at the soles of your feet and run onto the water to wear you dropped him. You look around for any sign of him…then it hits you… "Shit…"

You feel his hand wrap around your ankle and pull you under the water. He smiles at you innocently and you pout.

You smirk and he raises an eyebrow wondering what your gonna do. You stick your tongue out at him and swim away as fast as you can.

He blinks confused then swims after you as fast as he can.

You swim to the surface and crawl out and behind the waterfall before he can notice. You giggle as you hear him look for you "Zandra! Wear are you!"

You laugh and you quickly cover your mouth. You watch as he looks around hearing you. You watch as he starts swimming towards the waterfall. You smile as he finds you and sits next to you "it's pretty in here…"

He nods and wraps his arm around your waist. You smile and close your eyes putting your head on his shoulder, listening to the sound of the water.

He moves his free hand up to your cat ear and starts rubbing it gently. You start purring. He chuckles "thought you didn't like when people touch your ears?"

You smile and look up at him "only you"
