Feet. The first thing I saw was feet walking towards me. I slowly lifted my heavy head to see the person who those feet belonged to. I saw a face, half hidden by a mask. He was saying something to me but it sounded foggy and hard to make out. My ears won't be properly work for a long time I imagined.
Then once again my vision turned black and I passed out.
Bright lights then a scream. Call out her name. Try to warn her but it was too late. It happened so fast. Then blood. Blood on my hands and at my feet.
"She is burning up."
"Here put this cloth on her forehead."
My eyes fluttered open as a cold, moist substance came in contact with my forehead. My vision slowly cleared. Now all I could see was white, which was a big change for me. White walls, a white ceiling, and a white floor. I was lying on a bed which was white as well, with white sheets pulled up to my chin.
"She is waking up." Said a women's voice that I heard earlier and I am pretty sure she was the one who put the cloth on my head. I turned my head to look in her direction.
She had brown hair pulled back into a tight bun and her uniform was also white. The word 'nurse' came to my mind when I studied her. She smiled down at me.
There was another woman behind her which looked older. She wore the same white uniform and short black hair sitting on her shoulders.
"How are you?" Said the girl closest to me.
I opened my mouth but only a small squeak left my throat. The girl giggled and nodded.
"Don't strain yourself." Said the nurse standing further away. "You have been out for three days."
I lifted my hand to my head and lightly touched my fingertips to the cloth. My head was no longer hurting, instead it felt clear. "Wh… Where am I?" I finally spoke.
"You are in the hospital of Kohona. You were brought here by Kakashi. He found you lying in the middle of nowhere." Said the cheery nurse.
"Not everyday you would find a girl lying there naked passed out… What were you doing?" The other girl asked, now stepping closer.
"N-naked?" I slowly lifted up my blankets to peek inside. I was now wearing a white shirt that sat bellow my knees. I lowered the blanket and looked back up at the nurses.
"What is your name?" The closest girl asked as she took off the cloth on my forehead.
I frowned.
"Well? Don't be shy." She smiled kindly.
Suddenly a knock on the door was heard. I sighed in relief thinking I was now safe from the question. The nurse standing further away groaned. "Come in."
I watched the door as it slowly opened. On the other side was a tall man with a mask hiding half of his face. A strange headband covered his left eye and grey hair stuck out on an angle. He waved to the nurses and stepped into the room.
"Oh good day Kakashi." Said the cheery nurse, quickly straightening her posture. Her cheeks turned slightly red. The nurse bowed and then stepped out of the room.
The man named Kakashi walked up closer to the bed. "Hello." He smiled behind his mask.
I blinked at him. "H-hello." I knew that face… was he the man who picked me up and brought me here? The nurse before said Kakashi so this must be him.
"It is great to see you awake finally. It was a mystery to pick you up on the way back from my team's mission. Don't worry I wrapped you in a blanket before the others saw." He held up a hand in the action of innocents.
"Kakashi sensei!"
I lifted my head to see a boy. He stood there with his arms crossed, pouting. Blonde hair spiked out from underneath the same strange headband from the man name Kakashi. He wore a black and orange jacket.
"Oh hello Naruto. What brings you here?" Kakashi asked not even looking in the boy's direction.
"Do give me that. You said we were going to train today and already you are two hours late! I had to go look for you!" The boy shouted.
"No yelling in the hospital." Snapped the grumpy nurse.
"Please Naruto don't make a scene…" Said a girl who had just entered the room and stood beside the blonde boy. She had short pink hair that sat on her shoulders and a red shirt. She too wore the weird headband on her head.
"Sakura… you are here too?" Asked Kakashi.
"When Naruto ran off like that I knew he would get himself into trouble so I followed…oh!" The pinkette looked over to me. "Is that the girl who we picked up three days ago? She is finally awake?"
Kakashi nodded. "See that's why I am so late. I wanted to visit her and-"
"Visiting someone doesn't take two hours Kakashi sensei!" Shouted the boy named Naruto.
"Quiet Naruto." The pinkette punched Naruto in the shoulder. He cringed and rubbed his wound. "No yelling remember? Idiot…"
Naruto frowned then turned his attention to me. He stared at my face for so long that I pulled my blankets up to my nose, a little nervous.
"Hey…" He finally spoke. "You are the girl from before."
The girl named Sakura sighed and lowered her head. "I just said that Naruto…"
"Oh…" Naruto blinked then walked closer. "Hey girl… what happened to you? Why were you laying in the middle of nowhere? What's your name?"
No, no more questions. I hate being asked questions. I don't know the answer for them! I started to get annoyed.
"Well? Are you a mute or something?" He asked, crossing his arms again.
I shook my head.
"Well then speak."
"Naruto." Sakura walked up and laid her hand on his shoulder. "Leave the girl alone. Stop asking her so many questions or she will think you are crazy."
"Hmpft. Well I am curious. For all we know she might be an enemy spy!" The blonde boy shouted, causing the nurse to get even grumpier. Sakura punched his shoulder again. "Ow…"
Kakashi looked back down at. "Don't worry… these two aren't as crazy as you think they are." He smiled playfully behind his mask.
I smiled back. He seemed very kind and already I knew I could trust him, even though I just met him.
"Great so now that you have visited the mystery woman, can we please go now?" Asked Naruto who was holding the area where Sakura punched him. "I want to train!"
Kakashi nodded and led the others towards the door. Before leaving he looked in my direction and nodded a goodbye. Sakura closed the door behind them.
I laid there for a few moments, my eyes on the door. I was very confused to where and why I was here but meeting the people who picked me up made me a little happier.
"Such an obnoxious boy." Mumbled the nurse beside me. She turned in my direction. "Need anything?"
I shook my head. The only thing I wanted now was answers, but I doubt I would get any from her. I watched her leave the room and shut the door behind her, leaving me alone in the white room.
I sank deeper into my pillow and turned on my side. Even though I was sleeping for the last three days, I felt tired. I closed my eyes and sighed. Maybe after a nice sleep things would get better for me. Maybe I would meet those nice people again. Maybe I would meet even more nice people.
I found myself smiling again.
