Tenten shakily awoke to the beeping of the hospital. She looked bewildered, her eyes wide with fright. She looked to the side and saw the pink-haired medic, Sakura.
Sakura was looking at her, and then glancing down at the clipboard in her hands. She was writing something that Tenten could guess to be a medical report. She was frightened to know what was written on the report.
Would Sakura realize what Tenten was trying to hide so desperately? Tenten didn't want to be questioned about her condition, she only wanted these nightmares to end.
"Why haven't you been able to sleep for a few days?" Sakura asked slowly.
"Actually, it's been longer than a week." Tenten mumbled quietly.
"Tenten-san, what happens in your nightmares to cause you end up in the hospital?" Sakura asked raising an eyebrow. Tenten sighed, she did not like this at all.
"A lot happens in my nightmares." Tenten said trying to avoid the question. She didn't want people questioning if she liked anyone or if they would think she was insane for not telling someone that she was having this problem.
"Tenten, I'm being serious. Now tell what happens, exactly." Sakura said as clearly as she could, maybe even threatening. Tenten gulped, she didn't want to deal with an angry Sakura. That was signing your self to death, a painful death.
"Most of the time I'm running, and I have no control over what I'm doing. And when I'm running people start showing up, and I keep killing them, over and over again. I can't stop, and by the time I wake up, they've all been killed several times." Tenten started, not looking at the pink haired medic
.
Sakura seemed to be writing something on the clipboard. Tenten could guess that she was writing what she was saying, word for word. Kami-sama, she hated things like this. Sakura looked at her, as if to silently say 'continue' to her.
"Sometimes I'm running in a forest, other times it's in a field. Every time, there is a blood red moon, making the blood of the ones that I've killed more visible, to me. Last time a few people were saying weird chants and singing a lullaby that I heard as a child." Tenten said shivering at the memory.
Again Sakura was writing on the clipboard, it was starting to annoy Tenten. She felt, ignored, and Sakura was telling her to talk. The tapping sound of Sakura's pen on the clipboard went thought the room. Tenten's eyes twitched and she glared at the object in Sakura's hands.
"What are you writing?" Tenten asked Sakura, getting up and trying to look at the medical report. Sakura moved out of the way.
"Tenten-san, you shouldn't be up yet." Sakura scolded her like a child. Tenten sighed and went back to the bed. She clearly pouted to show how much she wanted to know. Sakura sighed, she didn't like this at all.
"Tenten, when did these nightmares start happening?" Sakura asked to find out more about her condition.
"I don't remember, a few weeks ago, maybe two or three. I not sure." Tenten said as she thought about it.
"So when do I get to leave?" Tenten asked the medic eagerly, like she was excited to get out of this place. Sakura laughed at Tenten's question. Tenten looked confused, why was Sakura laughing, she really wasn't kidding when she asked.
"You are just like your teammates. Whenever one of you gets injured, you want out as soon as possible. Lee-san escapes when he's put on bed rest, and he goes out training! And Neji-san he doesn't ask when he's going to be released, he demands to leave as soon as he wakes up. And then the next day he goes training! And now you're asking when you're going to be released." Sakura said explaining.
"So. What's your point?" She asked her plainly, blinking. Sakura rolled her eyes, from the childish acts.
"My point is that you are just like your teammates. For some wired reason you all like training. Was it Gai-sensei that got you all into this habit?" Sakura asked smiling. Tenten looked like she was in thought, Sakura's comment had caught her off guard.
"I guess your sort of right. But it was really Neji, Lee, and Gai-sensei that got me into the habit." Tenten said grinning.
"So, when do I get to leave?" Tenten asked again. Sakura rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Maybe tomorrow or the day after." Sakura replied leaving the room. "But for now you have visitors, enjoy." Sakura said as she closed the door.
Seconds later, two very energetic men entered her room, yelling.
"Tenten-chan, our beautiful youthful flower is recovering!" Gai-sensei yell for the entire world to hear. Tenten rolled her eyes and giggled slightly. Neji entered a minute later looking impassive, but really he looked bored.
"Hi guys. Did I miss anything in training?" Tenten asked tilting her head to the side. Her team looked at her weird. Tenten became confused, than angry for not being given an answer.
"What? All I did is what happened in training. Why are you so silent?" Tenten asked (more like snapped) her anger rising. Gai-sensei sighed, something very unusual and looked down at the ground.
"We couldn't train today." Gai-sensei said sighing. Lee looked down at the ground too. Tenten was seriously getting angry, her teammates had refused training. What was wrong with the world today?
"Why?" Tenten said close to yelling at her sensei and teammates. She looked at her teammates and sensei. Gai-sensei and Lee were looking down at the ground and Neji…wait, what was Neji doing?
Tenten's head quickly turned to Neji, but she turned so quickly that her head stated to hurt. She closed her eyes and saw the image of the red eyes. She opened her eyes as fast as she could.
She saw Neji standing in the corner, being his regular boring self. He was standing there as if he was in deep thought.
"Neji?" She asked quietly, hoping for an answer from her normally stoic teammate. He turned to her and looked at her. His eyes held no emotion that she could see, but she was curious to find out.
"… Hn" Was Neji's answer. His answers made her want more answers than she really needed. Tenten sweat dropped, she really didn't know what to do with an answer like that.
"Did you train today?" She asked tentatively. Neji made a sound that she could tell what it meant.
"Ok, that's nice to know." Tenten said.
Ok, that was the latest chapter. I wrote a good part of this when I woke up this morning, so sorry if it's sucky...I don't think in the mornings.
Oh well...now please review...♥
