Hey, onto my next chappie. Im pretty sure that this is the only fanfic that I've actually continued to write chapters for *excluding Chain of Hearts*! Im really glad that a lot of people have also enjoyed this story; you guys really do mean a lot to me!

Akiko's POV

I woke up the next morning not really remembering things from last night. However, some things just kept playing over and over again in my head. And even when I went to sleep, those thoughts, they became my dreams, and I didn't go one second without rethinking what had happened to me.

Yesterday, I met this boy. His name, well I couldn't really quite remember it, my head really did still hurt. But I do remember when he told me how I ended up here. It was a very interesting story actually.

*Flashback*

"So who are you again?" the boy asked sitting next to me in the brown hospital chair. I was in the hospital bed, and about 5 minutes later, Akito had just left me. "Well, I should be asking you the same question, shouldn't I?" I replied with a bit of sarcasm. "My name isn't really important, just think of me as… your savior!" he said with a cocky grin. The boy looked so familiar. He had yellow, spiky hair, a matching black and orange sweater and pants, and he had eyes as blue as the ocean. "But, that's not why I've came here." he began again, losing his grin and putting on a more serious face. "I came here… to tell you about what happened, in the forest. The reason… that you're here in the hospital. And I came here to say sorry to you, for everything that I did that day." His eyes looked sad, as if he wanted to cry. He wasn't looking at me anymore, but he was staring at the floor, rubbing his arm sleeve, and slowly shaking his head. "What… what did happen?" I said, hoping he wasn't going to start crying.

"You see," he began, "I was out in the woods, the same day as you. I thought for a brief second that I was being followed. So I began to run, but not very fast. I thought you were a ninja, from outside of the village, and that you wanted to fight me. So after a while, when I stopped running, I sat down. After about 5 minutes, I heard you again, and I got even more scared than before. So, I decided to see who it was. I hid in some trees, and I let you pass by me, without me being seen." He stopped, looked at me, and then started again. "I saw you, a girl, and I still didn't want to let my guard down no matter how weak you looked." I raised my eyebrow when he said weak. He shook his head and continued. "Anyways, so I began to follow you, and make noises in the bushes, to possibly scare you or throw you off track of searching for me. And then, you spotted me. You scared me when I was hiding behind a tree, and I thought that you were going to try and kill me, so I began to run. Eventually, we got to the point where you stopped right on the opposite side of the same tree that I was by. I panicked and I hit you on the head with the heaviest boulder that I could pick up." He finished. I gave him a what-the-heck- look. "You hit me with a boulder?" I said a little confused. "Are you not a ninja?" I said again, still confused. "Yes, I am. I go to the ninja academy. Sheesh, it's a bad thing when you don't even know your own classmates by their face at least.

*Flashback End*

So that's how I knew him, from the academy. I heard a knock on the door. "Come in." I said quietly. The nurse that was assisting me for the past days came in with a bag. "Hello, Ms. Sakura, you are going to be transmitted fro the hospital today, okay? So just put these on, and get ready to go." Her voice still sounded dull, and she had bags under her eyes. Her face gave off the impression that she didn't want to be here. She might as well were a button that says "I really wish I weren't here right now" (1). "Okay, thanks." I said as I took the bag with my clothes and she walked out of the door. I was happy to be leaving today, even though my head felt like crap. I got out of bed, and walked over to the bathroom in the room. I quickly changed into my clothes, deciding I would take a shower in my home. I couldn't wait to feel the warm comfort of my sanctuary, my humble abode. Plus I couldn't wait to get home and call Akito and tell him all the new information. I quickly gathered my belongings, put the hospital clothing in the hamper and hurried into the lobby.

After I signed out of the hospital, and walked onto the streets on Konoha, I felt a million times better. My head was still hurting abit, and my back was killing me from laying down 24/7, but I felt like I could do anything; I had a whole new tale to share, and I know just who I wanted to share it with. But first I needed to apologize to someone, because for some reason, I feel like I need them now more than ever.

Okay, im done. Don't really know how to explain the ending, I just hope you like it, and I really do apologize if you don't because I did sort of rush this one. I was on IMVU at the same time. Anyways, R&R!
