Confusion

Mika woke up feeling groggy and confused. Her eyes took in her surroundings and she realized that she didn't recognize anything.

"Where am I?" she muttered to herself, "and what happened?"

The last thing she could remember was Naruto running off and asking Sasuke to help her stand up.

"You passed out after I helped you to your feet. Naruto was nowhere to be found, so I brought you to my place so you could lie down till you woke."

"Thank Kamii it's just you. For a moment I thought I was back in Suna," Mika sighed.

"Why do you sound so relieved you're not in Suna?" he asked, though sounded like he didn't care.

"It's a long story..."

"Then keep it to yourself, cause I don't care and I don't wanna hear it," he interrupted.

"Why are you always so sour and arrogant?" Mika asked a little offended.

"Same thing, it's a long story. And I'm not about to tell you."

Mika huffed and glared at him, though he just glared right back.

"Prick," she muttered.

"Your point?"

Her glare intensified, yet still Sasuke didn't care. Mika gave up with a huff and crossed her arms. She narrowed her eyes for a moment, and then looked away.

"If you're going to be such and asshole, why'd you help me? Why didn't you just leave me?" she spat.

"Because Naruto care about you, and I care about him."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"I'm not explaining myself."

She growled and clenched her hands in frustration.

"You're so infuriating! If you're going to be like that, then I'll just leave and wait for Naruto back at his place," she snapped at him.

Mika threw her legs over the side of the bed and made to stand up.

"At least he was kind enough to lay me on a bed and not a couch...or the floor," she thought to herself.

A hand landed on her shoulder, preventing her from standing -and for a split second she was grateful when she felt her legs throb and knew they would have given out on her the second she stood- but then she remembered it was Sasuke preventing her and her anger flared.

"Let...go...of...my...shoulder," she growled out through clenched teeth.

"Naruto will come directly to my place to look for you and you're in no condition to be moving around anyway. Just lay back down and get some rest before he gets here," Sasuke instructed.

"Let go," Mika repeated, completely ignoring Sasuke's instructions.

"I'm not moving my hand until you agree."

"Get your fucking hand off me!" she yelled.

"Mika!?!" came Naruto's relieved yet worried voice.

"Naruto! I'm in here! Get this bastard away from me!" she yelled, spotting his blond hair at the end of the hallway.

Naruto bolted down the hall to the room and stopped once he was between Mika and Sasuke. He pushed the brunette away and glared,

"What'd you do to her?!" he snarled.

"Nothing. She passed out after you ran off, so I brought her here till you came back,"

"And what about right now? Why was she screaming at you to get your hands off her?" he demanded.

"She wasn't screaming," Sasuke corrected him before continuing, "she was trying to stand up, but it's obvious she's too weak to do that at the moment. I was preventing her from hurting herself. I only had my hand on her shoulder, and if she was at full strength, or even a quarter stronger then she is right now, she could have stood up. I wasn't applying any pressure and yet she acted lie I was using all my strength to keep her down."

"So, I'm weak am I?" she snapped.

"I didn't mean it like that," Sasuke retorted.

"You're such an asshole. Just back off and let me leave."

"Fine, you want to injure yourself further, and then be my guest. I don't care, it's not like it'll hurt me any."

Naruto spun and caught Mika as she attempted to stand and instead fell forward into his arms. She blushed and tried to pull away but Naruto held tight.

"Mika, don't strain yourself. You don't want to get hurt again do you?" Naruto murmured.

She just sighed and shook her head.

"Right, so let's get you home ok? Sasuke, can you help her onto my back?"

Sasuke stepped forward and lifted her on; ignoring her protests and murmurs that she could do it herself.

"Thanks Sasuke," Naruto said before leaving.

Authors Note: Well that's chapter seven. I should have chapter eight up in the next few days if I'm not to busy. This get a little more interesting in the next chapter so be on the look out for it. Oh and there's a new character introduced as well.

What would you do if you wanted to have a shower but you needed assistance, and the only person to help you is of the opposite sex? I'll let you all think about that while you wait for the next chapter...seeing as Mika ends up in that situation at some point.

I'd like to thank the readers who left me reviews and I encourage you all to please leave me one. Even if it's just "I enjoyed reading this," or something like that, it's nice to have some sort of feedback.
