Anko felt warmth embracing her chest; she tried to move to her left, seeking freshness and realized that it was useless, her chest felt like it weighted a ton. Desperately she shook her head but it didn't respond her command, Anko began to panic. Each muscle she tried to move, each request was answered with silence, she even tried to look at her body but it was too dark to see a thing. She felt her own eyes closed and resisting to even open a bit, Anko tried to hurt herself and break this type of illusion she was in but nothing in her body seemed to be functioning. Anko started crying or she thought she did, her body was betraying her orders and confusing her mind. She knew that she had to stay calm and relax, hesitation was the worst enemy that a shinobi could have.

After regaining her self-control she realized that even if she wasn't able to move anything from her body, she could still use her other senses. She took a deep breath and caught a light smell of detergent; Anko took another deep breath and confirmed the odor. Even if her tongue wasn't responding, she could still taste her mouth, unfortunately it tasted bitter. Calmed and breathing deeply she focused all her energy in one thing, feel whatever her fingerprints were feeling. Anko put all her efforts in moving one finger; she needed that to confirm her hypothesis and with all her self-control she moved her right index. Anko felt something soft and smooth under her finger and after connecting the dots she grinned unpleased. Great… I'm in a hospital bed.

Cursing her luck she started to think how and why she got in the hospital. Anko knew that the hospital usually paralyzed its patients in order to avoid any further pain and also to prevent anyone from escaping. Anko started to look for any clue in her mind when an echo of foot steps caught her full attention. By the how they sounded, someone was approaching. Anko tried to pretend she was asleep but kicked herself mentally for her stupidity. Paralyzed remember dumbass? The door opened and the foot steps were now clearer, they were light and hurried. Also there were some scratches and muttering. Anko knew it was a nurse and begged that this woman didn't have the intentions of giving her a shot. Suddenly the room became silent; Anko felt the sweat running all in her back.Crap…

-Kai!-. Patting Anko's forehead.

Anko opened her eyes and looked where her pious savior. Shizune returned the look, smiling warmly and holding her notes in her chest.

-Evening Anko.

-Evening-. sitting up.- Why I'm here?

-Food poisoning-. Looking at her notes.

Anko felt a little twist in her stomach, she hugged her stomach with both hands.- How I got here?

-Gai brought you, he looked really worried-. Letting a sweat drop fall from her forehead and smiling nervously.

Flashback

Shizune was writing some data that the secretary gave her when Gai appeared in the main door, screaming and carrying someone in his arms. All the staff that was in the room ran towards him. Shizune was trying to check what was going on but Gai kept on moving from doctor to doctor, begging them to check the person he carried. The nurses told him to keep it down and quit moving the patient around. But Gai continued running through the entire lobby until he spot Shizune and ran towards her. Shizune recognized the clothes and thanked the past Hokages that Anko was unconscious, otherwise Anko would be slicing Gai's ass for being a brute by taking her to the hospital in that reckless form.

After checking Anko's condition, Shizune tried to separate Anko from Gai but he insisted in taking her along with him to the surgery room. Shizune explained that surgery wasn't needed, but he yelled that a youthful spirit fighter was in grave danger and needed medical treatment in that precise instant. Shizune was getting impatient and requested him to let her go, so she could take care of Anko. But Gai was mumbling something about "youthful spirit fighters don't die that easy" and with some handseals Shizune paralyzed Gai and took Anko from him and placed her in a stretcher with the help of two nurses. Shizune also asked to take Gai to the waiting room and give him a tranquilizer but after rethinking it, she ordered them to give him a sedative.

End of the Flashback

Shizune sighed heavily and handed her notes to Anko.-You may leave once you sign this and get changed-. Anko nodded and took the papers along with a pen; she signed and gave them back. Shizune was already walking to the door when she turned her head and smiled one last time.-Try some vegetables Anko, your eating habits are worse than Naruto's-. Anko grabbed her pillow and threw it to Shizune, who dodged it and with a light bow she left. Anko stood up and walked towards the closet, she pulled out her clothes and closed the door that Shizune happily left open. While changing Anko thought that she surely owed Gai one, not only he did invited her some dangos also he was caring enough to take her personally to the hospital and make sure that they treat her immediately.I owe you one, bowl's head.

Kakashi glanced at the sunset, chewing the last piece of the cookie that came with his ice cream; he stretched his arms and unfolded his legs. Laying down and letting the grass in his back caressed his neck, he sighed heavily.

-It's been a while since we don't do this.

Kakashi nodded and glanced right. A pair of brown eyes gaze him back and a warm smile was drown on a couple of red lips. Kakashi scratched his scalp and gazed back to the sunset.

-How is it been?

-The usual-. Sharking his shoulders.-Training my team, taking some missions and doing my research.

-Still with those flirting books?

Kakashi chuckled.-Yeap, what about you?

-The usual… killing people that appears in the bingo book, protecting Hokage-sama and doing my research.

-Still with that?

She nodded, gazing at the sunset. Kakashi sighed heavily and closed his eye.-You know how I feel about that right?

Again she nodded, still looking at the horizon. Kakashi turned his head towards her, looking at her chocolate eyes and analyzing her features. She noticed his look and returned it but now smiling. Kakashi knew that smile well enough to be fooled with it; he knew more things about her than anyone else. Well… anyone that was alive. Kakashi glanced the last traces of sunlight disappear in the horizon before straightening. He felt her gaze over him but did nothing to stop her, not like he didn't care about it… he was comfortable with it. Kakashi rubbed his scalp and stood up, he handed his right hand to help her up but she was already ready and waiting for him.

-How long you're gonna be around?-. Putting both hands in his pockets.

-Couple of days, Hokage-sama wants me to stay close and check the surroundings.

-I see…-glancing at the night sky.-Well… hope to see you soon Yugao-san.

-Likewise Kakashi-senpai-. Smiling and vanishing with a poof of smoke.

Anko rubbed her neck before walking through the lobby. She saw that Gai was sat over a couch, tapping his feet impatiently on the floor and with both arms crossed over his chest. She snickered and walked calmly towards him. Gai rose and ran where Anko was. After many apologies and responses, both walked outside the building. Gai offered his right arm to help Anko walk, but she rejected it, saying that she was fine now and could manage to walk back home on her own. Gai insisted on accompanying her at least, but she refused. She needed to buy the medicine Shizune prescribed her and also to think about some "silver issues" in private. Anko apologized and started walking towards her apartment, not before saying that she was grateful and that she owed him a meal and a favor.

She walked back silently, gazing once in a while the lights that illuminated her way. Anko put both hands in her coat's pockets and sighed deeply, trying to hide the ocean of emotions that hit her empty stomach. She walked inside the pharmacy and handed the prescription, the guy at the counter read it loudly and disappeared. Anko turned her back to the counter and put both elbows over it, watching the white light in the ceiling and biting softly her bottom lip. Her eyes were traveling along the shelves when a sign caught her attention. Anko walked closer, in order to read it properly, and blushed after finishing it.

-Anything else I can do for you?

Anko jerked and gazed at the guy that held her medicine on his left hand. She bit her lip again, trying to look casual and walked closer to the cashier. Her hands were shaking, the pharmacy guy noticed this and looked at place were she was seconds ago and smiled.

-You know, those are really effective and also in a reasonable price. Do you want some?

Still blushing Anko nodded. Smiling he walked to the shelf, he picked a package and placed it on the bag that held Anko's medicine and after typing the price in the cash machine he announced the price. Anko searched for her wallet without looking at the guy she gave him the exact amount he asked and ran away from the store. Anko ran as fast as her kunoichi skills allowed, not paying attention to her surroundings, just focusing in arrive as soon as possible to her apartment and find some shelter in there. She was to turn left when she bumped quite hardly with someone. Anko rubbed her butt while standing up, still dizzy for the impact.

-Anko, look where you run! You hit me pretty badly.

Anko looked up and saw no other than her best friend rubbing her head and fixing her clothes.

-Now tell me, why were you running like you were chased by a ghost to not even put attention where you run?

-Sorry Kurenai

Kurenai shook her head in disapproval and help her friend to stand up. She saw the contents of the paper bag that Anko held in her right hand scattered all over the floor, she kneeled and started to pick them up until her red eyes read the envelops of them. Anko panicked when she saw her friend reading the little boxes, Anko leaned forward and took them away from her friend's hands, trying to hide them in her coat's pocket. Kurenai was now standing with her right hand over her hip and with a diverted smile on her lips. Anko felt the sweat trailing down her spine. With her right index, Kurenai ordered her friend to approach her. Anko walked closer, hiding her blush and looking at the floor. The genjutsu master grinned evilly and patted Anko's shoulders.

-Now my friend, you and I will have a long chat.

Kakashi was heading back to his residence, gazing at the night sky and trying to see the stars. The night was clear, not a single cloud was visible and the weather was perfect for camping in the forest. He smiled once the word rang many bells, and some other things, in him. Kakashi wondered how she was and what she was about to tell him before the green gnome interrupt them. The copy ninja turned right in the next block and his smile disappeared. Speaking of the devil. Gai was walking calmly, looking at nothing in particular and sighing once in a while. Kakashi tried to hide but realized that it was no longer necessary; Gai walked away, ignoring him completely. Kakashi wasn't sure to find this comforting or disturbing, after all this was the first time the green gnome ignored him entirely.

The copy ninja was about to thank the Hokages for hearing his pleas when he remembered that in that afternoon Gai invited Anko to have some dangos. Invitation that glutton didn't refuse by the way. Frowning and crossing his arms on his chest, Kakashi started to sketch possible scenarios in his mind of what happened that left Gai in that condition. He scratched his hair, trying to figurate out what happened, but knew that it was hopeless, Anko was a very unpredictable woman. Kakashi sighed heavily and jumped over a light post, looking for any sign of a green spandex and finding it two blocks away. Kakashi jumped to the nearest roof and started to follow the bowl's hair cut freak stealthily, mumbling and cursing himself. I can't believe I'm doing this.
