I then opened my eyes and began to looked around frantically. I was laying down in a hospital bed. My arms, head, stomach, and legs were covered in bandages. "Looks like you're awake," I turned and saw that Sai was in the bed next to mine. I smiled and nodded. I began to hear footsteps from behind. I turned and saw Hinata and Naruto walk in together. Hinata's face was red. She had flowers behind her back. Naruto had curious look on his face.
Both of them had their right arm covered in bandages and in a sling. Hinata had band aids on her cheek and under her eye. Her head was also wrapped up. Naruto had bandages the were wrapped all around his face. He had a small band aid on his nose. His foot was also wrapped up. "Yoko-Chan! You're okay!" Naruto said with a big grin. I turned and saw crutches on the side of my bed. I took of my covers, and slid to the side of the bed, and grabbed the crutches.
I went over to Hinata and hugged her tightly. "Go ahead," I said as I pushed her towards Naruto, "give him the flowers," Hinata's face went dark red. "Here!" She shouted as she handed Naruto the flowers. Naruto took the flowers out of her hand and kissed her on her forehead. Hinata turned to Naruto. She then looked at me. I nodded. Hinata took a deep breath and said to Naruto, "I LOVE YOU!" Naruto's eyes widened. He put a hand on Hinata's shoulder.
"I love you, too, Hinata..." Hinata smiled. She ran up to me and hugged me. I smiled. I then heard the door open. Lee had walked in to the door. His head, arms and ankle were wrapped up. He had a crutch in his left hand, and in his right hand was a box. "Lee-Kun!" I shouted. Lee walked up to me and handed me the box. I took the box and slowly pulled of the white ribbon from it. I took of the top, and looked inside.
I gasped. "It's...a necklace!" I pulled out the necklace. On the chain, their was a purple crystal. "The crystal keeps away any chakra that is used against you. So, it'll be a big help when you do missions," Lee said as he smiled. I looked up at him. He pulled me towards him and kissed me on the forehead. "Thanks..." I said with a red face. Sakura then walked into the room. Her hair was up in a small ponytail and she had a red bag on her shoulder. "Yoko! You're awake!" Sakura exclaimed.
I raised an eyebrow. "What this whole deal about me 'waking up'?" I finally asked. "You were asleep for about three days," Naruto replied. "Really?" I couldn't believe that I was asleep for that long. I then yawed and rubbed my eyes. "So, what were you gonna do, Sakura?" "Oh, I was going to give you this..." Sakura began to search inside the bag she had slung over her shoulder. She then pulled out a note and handed to me.
I then opened it and began to read the kanji out loud. This is what the note said:
Dear Yoko, Hinata, Naruto, Sai, Lee, and Sakura,
That was a courageous battle that happened out there the other day. I'm amazed and proud of all of you.
I never knew how strong you guys really were. I need you six to meet me when you can to talk about something important.
Stay strong and never give up!
Yours Truly,
Tsunade
Naruto took the note from my hand and read it over. "Tsunade-Sama...wants us to talk about something important?" Naruto seemed confused. "Well, I'm gonna get ready to go," I said as I walked out the door. I then stopped in the middle of the hall. I feel like I shouldn't have killed them if I did... I thought.
