Chapter 3: Healing Wounds
Inumaru put on his mask just before Kakashi walked in as expected. Inumaru had on his bathing suit, so there was nothing to see. "Inumaru, your supposed to be at the hospital. Your ill and maybe near death, your going now!" Kakashi covered his nose as Inumaru jumped out of the shower trying to run. Kakashi threw down a bomb of sleeping gas and held his breath. In five minutes he picked up an unconscious Inumaru and carried him outside to the horrified faces as they saw the unconscious boy (yet again). "I knocked him out. WELL HE HAS TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL!" Kakashi apparently didn't want to be judged at that time.
Inumaru woke up yet again in the hospital, this time not flabby or hooked up to one of those life sucking machines. He looked on the side table to his right and saw a card written by all of team seven.
Letter Dear Inumaru,
We decided that you should be able to heal and not try to kill yourself. So, we kinda put you in a three week coma, sorry. So when and if you feel up to coming to train then come on over. The nurses have been instructed to let you go if you don't have anything wrong with you.
-Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura
"WHAT?! Three flippin weeks?! I got to go now!" Inumaru ran out of the room with his belongings. I am not going to where I think i'm going, RIGHT? Well if ya ask me, I think we may be! Inumaru was already halfway to the training spot when he felt himself flying towards the ground. In an instant he leaned back and landed gracefully on his feet, just inches away from the face of a boy with no eyebrows and ALOT of eye makeup. "Sorry, just tripped. You okay?" Inumaru stood up straight and found he was a few inches above the boy's head.
"I am fine." The boy's voice colder than ice. He glared right into Inumaru's eyes, Inumaru NEVER stood for that. Suddenly he launched himself at this coldhearted boy. He was surprised as a wall of sand leapt up at him and stung his eyes; he rubbed them and looked around to see the crowd of peers surrounding him and this boy. "Go Gaara! Kill him!" a boy said with a nervous tone that meant this boy Gaara and his friends would kill anyone who didn't root for him. Inumaru jumped again this time actually with some knowledge.
"INUMARU! Control yourself! Two hours out of a coma and you pick a fight!" Sakura screamed as she, Sasuke, and Naruto broke up the two ninja as they really started fighting. Inumaru heard Sakura's scream and suddenly turned submissive and shoved his hands into his pockets. "I am done Sakura-Chan, don't you worry anymore. I will go now, so I can get out of your hair." Inumaru silently stalked off towards the training ground, his head bowed and his hands in his pockets. "Inumaru... I didn't mean to make you upset..." Sakura said sorrowfully.
Inumaru sat on the old carrousel in Konoha's old playground. He knew that his team would be looking for him and would soon find him, but for now he wanted to be alone. He heard a stick break in the distance, certifying his guess as correct. Soon enough a figure came out of the old forest. "Kakashi-Sensei, you must of heard about the fight, I am sorry." Inumaru said solemnly as the figure changed into his teacher. "Yes, but that's not why I am here. Do you want to give a second try at a family? I already signed the contract, its all up to you." Kakashi asked warmly with a visible smile from under his own mask. "I guess so, especially since I ran out of cash to pay for that old house. Can I?" Seeing Kakashi's nod he stood up and hugged him. This surprised Kakashi but soon he hugged back, soon they broke the hug and started to walk to Inumaru's new home.
