AN: I am so sorry for the delay on this story. My life has been a total mess and I'm trying to get this story moving again. My muse really hates me. *sigh* oh well. Once again if you like it makes me happy, if you don't why are you still reading it? Criticism is welcome along and any and all ideas you come up with I will gladly take into consideration. Reviews would be really great too :D

Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing, Naruto is not mine.

ENJOY!

Haileigh's pov

How long have I been here? Too long if you ask me. I've been sitting in this hospital room for what seems like years but it's only been weeks (I've been asleep for most of them). At least someone comes to see me everyday even if it's the stupid nurse to try and put me out again. I sigh for the millionth time that day. Tsunade hasn't got anything to tell me yet and I'm starting to worry about my little sister. Does time work the same way here as it does at home or is it frozen and once I get back everything will resume as the way I had left it?

Questions are really the only thing I've had on my mind. Especially since my senses are a lot stronger and I can see a persons aura better than I used to. It's really strange.

Ah well, at least I can actually sit and think without any interruptions.

Sakura's pov

It's been a couple days since Haileigh has woken up and I've gone to visit almost every day. I feel as if I know her somehow, like I've seen her somewhere before but I can't place her. Maybe I'm losing it, maybe I'm under too much stress and my mind has finally snapped. Probably not since I haven't ended up in the psych ward yet. When I'm not visiting her I'm here by a pond I found when I was younger, my safe place.

I can't help but think of her as an older sister (if I had one), someone to help me with all of my problems. Someone who will always be there for me, teaching me, talking to me, laughing with me, and just be there no matter what happens. I've felt so alone lately and my team mates are so dense as to what's going on around them. They're so wrapped up in training and trying to be the best they don't even notice that they're teammate is hurting.

Boys will be boys, or so the saying goes. I really should stop keeping things bottled up. It's not very healthy.

Kakashi's pov

She's always there invading my thoughts and dreams. Every waking moment I can't stop thinking about her. Having an obsession with her is not a good thing, I feel like a stalker. Damn. I can't help but be drawn to her, but she's 17 and I'm what nine years older than her. I'm way too old for her. What the hell? She probably doesn't even like me like that.

I really wish I was never assigned to that mission, but I get the feeling I still would have been drawn to her even if someone else had found her. I still can't believe it was her father that did that to her. No one should ever have to go through with that.

I think I'm starting to fall in lo- NO! not good, not good at all. Stupid idiot don't start thinking like that. She's only 17 for god's sakes. I need a really strong drink, or

Maybe I should quit reading Icha Icha. Holy shit, I really am sick!
