There is no fear of dieing anymore, death would be easy, but life has decided to be cruel and keep me alive. Welcome to my hell.

As my eyes gradually began to open, all I could see was a blur of white. All I could hear was the sound of medical devices around me, And just barely, I was able to feel the dry rough sheets that my body was laying on.

I turned my head slowly, as I started to regain my vision. The sight of an empty chair beside my bed reassured me that someone had been there. Hopefully someone that cared about me.

Shifting my body to the side of the bed, I tried to sit up, but failed hopelessly as a jolt of pain shot up through my right leg.

I cringed in pain as I grasped my thigh tightly, hoping to relieve the soreness. But once again, I failed.

"Why me?" I asked myself inwardly, while rubbing the bandages that were wrapped tightly around my upper leg. "Well we wouldn't be in this mess, if you hadn't of lost your mind, Cha!" Inner Sakura screamed. "Shut up!"

"Talking to yourself again Sakura?"

I glanced over towards the entrance to the room, To my surprise Tsunade stood there leaning against the wooden doorframe. I didn't even hear her come in, But now that I think about it, I rarely do.

I laughed nervously, man I hated it when people heard me, well, talking to myself. My sensei frequently heard me talking to myself, most people would have gotten used to it. But I was a different matter.

"That was a pretty stupid thing you did to yourself Sakura" She said as she walked over towards me and sat down on the old chair beside my bed.

"I know, I'm sorry Tsunade-sama" I apologized quickly, bowing my head slightly. "I didn't mean to worry you"

She sighed, I knew she was disappointed in me, but, something just took over, I couldn't control myself. It wasn't my fault.

"Off course it was you fault, Cha!" Inner Sakura always butted in when she wasn't wanted. I growled inwardly, she really wasn't helping.

"It's alright, I just, want to know why" Tsunade grasped my hand firmly, which was still grasping my throbbing thigh.

I raised my head, but I didn't look her in the eye, I just gazed out the window. The sun was falling between the tall mountains, casting a stunning red and orange glow over the forest on the outskirts of Kohona. It was beautiful.

I sighed. Someone was out there, I could just feel it. Whoever it was, was watching us the entire time.

If they wanted us, why didn't they attack. Was it because Kakashi-sensei was there.

No, I could feel it, there was more then one. Their chakra levels were astounding, they could've easily over-powered any of us, and all of us. But they didn't, I wonder, what if……….

"Sakura, Sakura?"

I snapped back into reality, the memorizing glaze that covered my eyes suddenly disappeared. I glanced back at Tsunade, her face was filled with worry, I understood why, and I didn't like it.

"Sorry Tsunade-sama, I just have a lot on my mind"

She sighed once more, then copied my earlier glance, and looked out the window.

"If you don't want to talk, I understand. Just remember, I'll always be here for you"

She patted my hand a few times, then stood up. But just stood there.

"By the way, the pain relief I gave you earlier should start to kick in soon"

With a smile, She returned to the hallway that was bustling with nurses and doctors, rushing in and out of rooms. I knew she would be busy today.

"Thank you" I said barely above a whisper, I once again turned and stared out the window, there was something out there that felt like I was being pulled into it's grasp. Well, if scenery had a grasp it would have been sucking me right in, and I wouldn't have been resisting.

I closed my eyes, and gave my head a light shake. I needed to get this thing out of my head.

I opened my eyes, as I reached down towards the end of the bed, picking up the clipboard with the medical reports that were lazily attached.

Flipping through the numerous pages of reports and statistics, I read the main parts silently to myself.

'Large gash, right upper leg. Heartbeat above usual, and poison throughout the lower body. All the above is now under control. Full recovery probability, 98'

My eyes scanned through the rest of the pages with ease, there was nothing out of the ordinary, everything seemed to be perfectly normal. Well as normal as I can be.

I breathed a sigh of relief, I was just glad that I didn't harm a vital spot. But maybe next time I won't be so lucky.

Placing the clipboard and paperwork down on my bedside table, I laid back down onto the bed, and closed my eyes once more. My body relaxed as I drifted of to sleep.

"Why her?"

A blue fish-like person asked as he sat quietly in the tree tops. A large sword wrapped in bandages rested on his back. He glanced into the window where the pink-haired maiden lay, then back to the man next to him.

The other man remained quiet. In fact, you could barely hear his breath, as it exhaled out of his soft lips.

"Well?" The fish-man asked.

The other man, just answered with a quiet 'hn' and continued to stare at the young girl from within the cloak of ever-growing darkness. Their black cloaks rustled in the wind. The would have been almost invisible, if I hadn't been for the red clouds.

"Well, what is her name?"

The man didn't even glance at his blue-skinned partner, but his stare grew more and more serious with each passing second. Finally he closed his eyes and let out a deep breath.

"Her name…"

He trailed off, as his partner, leaned in closer, and hung off every word that his associate said. His eyes grew intent, his breaths deeper. Then the black haired man spoke.

"Is Haruno Sakura"

A/N: I don't know anything about medical reports ok, so sorry if that part sounded kind of stupid but yeah.

Also I'm sorry that this chapter was short, but I had a mental blank halfway though so I just made stuff up. Don't Forget To R&R.
