-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next thing I knew, I woke up in a hospital. I looked to my side to see Mimi. She was reading a magazine. It was probably about the newest fashions and coaching you on how to get a guy. She always wanted a boyfriend, but she was so picky and always said she was looking for the right guy. She had dark brown hair that fell to her shoulders with bangs. She wore a brown sleeveless shirt with a white flower in the right-hand corner, and had brown mini skirt with tan cargo pants under.
She caught me looking at her. She looked up.
" Yu-chan, your awake! I heard what happened... I'm sorry." she said putting down her magazine and taking my hand. She was as chocked up as I was.
" It's okay. It's not your burden to carry, so don't worry about it." I said sitting up on my pillow.
I didn't want her to feel bad for me.
" Nobody should carry your burden, Yuki-chan." she said tenderly.
" Even you." she added.
"Mi-chan, arigato." I squeezed my best friends hand.
" hey, did you have a bad dream or something? Because you were whimpering a bit while you were sleeping." she asked. I never really considered my dream 'bad' since it was the only thing that really made my mother seem like she was still here.
" no." I said truthfully. I had never told her my dream, although I tell her everything. Although, I expected to have another dream since Father disappeared, but it doesn't matter.
"Oh...-gasp- oh yea!" she got up out of her seat and ran to the door.
" guys! She's awake!" she cheered. I smiled knowing she wasn't upset anymore. Then people started coming in. There was more people than I had expected. there was Haruno Sakura, Yamanaka Ino, Huuga Hinata, Mayso Wakaoji, Uchiha Sasuke, and Iruka-sensei. But there was some one missing...
" HEY THERE, YUKI-CHAN, HOW ARE YOU!" Naruto greeted, popping up next to my bed side. I smiled sweetly.
" naruto, you twit! I told you not to-" sakura scolded, but didn't get to finish.
" no, no, you guys. It's okay." I said with a giggle.
" hey, naruto. I'm doing good. Nice to see your in a happy mood." I looked up at his headband.
He fallowed my gaze.
" so, you noticed my headband, ne? Like it?" he said with a big grin. I laughed.
" ya, I like it! Congratulations! It suits you, you look good." I said with a tender smile and a soft voice. I had always liked naruto, it was just something about him...
I looked at everyone else in the room.
" Hello, Ino-chan, Sakura-chan, Hina-chan, Waka-kun, Sake-san, and Iruka-sensei. Nice to see you!" I greeted. I looked at sasuke of whom I'd nicknamed rudely. I smiled at his anger.
" well, well, sake-san. I see your fan girls haven't killed you yet. My, my, I'm impressed." I said crossing my arms over my chest. I have to admit, I liked him, but I wasn't about to give up a chance to tease him. I didn't want to be like all of those annoying fan girls. They bugged me...
" Really? I'm surprised you didn't die of head trauma when you hit the floor. My, my, I'm impressed. Even after you found out about your Dad." he shot back cooly. I didn't find it offensive, but everyone else thought otherwise. Everyone gasped.
" s-sasuke-kun!" Mimi chocked.
" Uchiha-san!" Iruka-sensei scolded. I just sighed.
" touche, sasuke, touche." everyone looked at me confused while sasuke grinned, pleased with his victory.
" Yu-chan! He just- and you just-" Mimi looked more confused than anyone else.
" no, no, Mi-chan. He didn't mean any harm. We were just playing." I explained nervously.
"Yu-chan..." Mimi said with concern. I sighed.
" so, how long have I been out?" I asked. Everyone looked nervously at different objects.
" what?" I asked suspiciously. Wakaoji came forward.
" um..." he began, " you've been out for...3 days." he everyone ducked.
" IIII'VVVVEEEEE WWWWWHHHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTTTT!!!!!?" I screamed suprized
by my laziness. I fell backward on to my pillow and slapped my hands over my eyes.
" Yuki-chan...are you okay?" Hinata asked. I rolled over off the bed, half falling off. I stood up. The hospital clothes were way too big for me. The shirt was long enough to be a dress and the sleeves were passed my elbows and the pants were huge. I looked for my neckless.
" where's my-" I gasped. It wasn't around my neck.
" I have it!" Mimi pulled it from her neck. I grabbed it.
" I took it from the doctors because they were going to put it away, but I thought you would want it, so I took it from them." Mimi explained.
"Arigato, Mi-chan." I hugged my best friend.
Then I remembered when we first became friends.
I was late to my first day and ran through the door. She called me to a seat next to her. Then that day she asked me to be her friend. I was so happy. I didn't think anybody was nice at the academy. My father had been right, though, I could make friends.
Soon, everyone left the hospital and then they released me soon after. Me and Mimi walked in silence. We both new where we were headed for.
" hey, Yu-chan." she said halfway there.
" nani?" I asked. She pulled something out of her pocket. She handed me a violet bracelet.
" oh, it's pretty! Where did you get them?" I asked. She blushed.
" actually...I read from a magazine while you were asleep how to make them. And look!" she held up her wrist to show a brown version of the violet one.
" they're our friendship bracelets!" she said. I put on the bracelet.
" oh, thank you, Mi-chan!" I said.
We walked the rest of the way in another silence. Then we finally made it to the sakura orchard.
The flowers were in full bloom and the wind was making them dance. I took a seat in the middle of the orchard. Mimi sat next to me.
" hey, Yu-chan, where are you going to live?" she asked. I looked down from the clouds. I hadn't actually thought about it until then.
" I don't know." I replied. She shifted her position.
" well, I was thinking.." she looked at the ground.
" nani?"
" maybe, you could live with me..."
" no." I said almost immediately after.
" please, Yu-chan. Then at least I'll know your safe. Please? You never let anybody help you, why? All of these years, you've never let anybody in! Let me help, Yu-chan!" she begged. I was shocked. Had I really been that distant all of these years? She looked angry.
" no. I don't want the people who are taking my parents to take you." I said.
" and I don't want them to take you! Yu-chan, I know you have nightmares. I know you've been lying to me about your dreams all these years. Why? You know, there are other people who care about other people but themselves. Come on, let me help you!" she pleaded. I couldn't. I would rather lose our friendship than her. I shook my head. She stood up.
" F-fine!" she yelled. She stomped off. I felt horrible, but I didn't want her to get involved.
" I thought we were going to be friends no matter what, but I was wrong!" she yelled behind her.
I flinched.
" you know, your just like sasuke-kun, Mayamaysa-san!" she cried behind her. I turned to face her. I watched her run off, leaving me alone. And, for the first time since I was 7, I cried. My Father was wrong. I couldn't make friends. Mimi was an example. If he were only there to complain to. I missed him. I laid there crying bitterly. I was beginning to dislike life.
