Tsunande POV

Getting the brat into the MRI was difficult. Getting him to stay still while in the MRI required,
once again, the use of sedatives. But now, looking at the readings might just be the most
difficult part.
Aphasia. That's why he reacted the way he did, why he was so confused. Maybe some good
old memory loss is thrown into the mix, too. Peachy.
How the hell am I going to explain this to the brat? Pictograms? The right side is fine, but the left
side has some serious damage. We're going to need his cooperation if he's to get better.
Of course, we can also hope for the sixth month miracle. Maybe we can wish for Orochimaru's
head on a platter too? It's just as likely.
What about Sakura? How am I going to tell her that she didn't create the barrier soon enough,
pull that miracle out of her ass fast enough? How can I tell her that part of his brain had already
suffocated before the ventilators could be hooked up?
…There's nothing I can do about it now. We'll try therapy (even if we only have experimental
stuff to go on), and if that doesn't work …
Well, let's just hope that the therapy will work. For Kakashi's sake, if not for Sakura's.
But before I contact the specialist who will be working with Kakashi, I need to get him to
understand that the throwing of jell-o would not be tolerated.
…Unless he actually hits Iruka, instead of the wall.

Naruto POV
You know, I'm really not as stupid as I look. Okay, so maybe sometimes it takes me longer than most
to realize something; that doesn't make me stupid.
So I'm just going to say it. I know Hinata likes me. Kami knows why, but she does. And her staring
act is getting just a little bit creepy.
She is getting better, I'll give her that. She doesn't stutter nearly as much when I talk to her, and barely
fidgets at all anymore.
Maybe one day she'll find the strength to seek me out and really speak to me.
Right now, I honestly can't say that I would return her feelings when she does. I don't know her yet;
she doesn't let me know.
But if she's truely anything like what I saw at the Chunin exams, then I think I could. Nothing certian, but
the possibility is there. And that's all that's needed for hope, right?

Awyr here. If you couldn't guess, Hinata's the POV in the last chapter. Hinata's alot stronger than she's
given credit for. And for the people confused about the scars, I meant emotional scars. They exist. Really.
So anywho, tell me what you think about the chapter! Review!
