Sorry that it took me like forever to get this chapter out but like I said, it was a busy month. Good news for you readers though, the business is over!

Chapter 4.

Mumei woke up the next morning; nobody was in the hospital room. She just looked towards her nightstand to see what time it was. 10:47. She saw a basket of fruits but still reframed from moving, she just looked towards the window beside the basket to observe the grassy courtyard.

"Good morning Miss Mumei." Said a nurse to the left side of her bed. She had just entered the room.

Mumei looked at her and finally, slowly sat up from her bed. Painful, yes, but necessary.

The nurse smiled and observed the clipboard she was holding. "Luckily, there is not any fatal injuries. Although, your muscles will be soar for the next week and you won't be able to bend or control chakra for at least 2 days." The nurse said with a sad smile.

Mumei just kept quiet and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. 2 whole days, not good, not good at all…

Mumei looked over to her fruit basket to read the tag: "To: Mumei. Get better soon! Team Guy." Mumei smiled. Her teammates of Konoha. They always cheer her up.

"That boy Neji has been coming here everyday to see if you are alright. He's very worried about you." Said the nurse with a grin, hinting she knew about them. Mumei ignored her words and nodded.

The nurse left the room. Mumei just laid back and reached into her backpack, laying on the left side of her bed. She pulled out a book with an elastic strap around it and began to write in a cryptic code. Nothing really seemed to appear in her mind. The fog had set in. Reality had been cut off from her.

Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. The door opened, she saw Neji. Mumei turned her full attention towards Neji after setting the book down in her lap.

"Your awake." Neji said. She nodded. Reality still hadn't set in.

Neji slowly sat down and was waiting for her to say something. She wasn't paying attention to this. Just looking at him, watching the person, hoping that the fog would clear after thinking about him. It didn't.

She returned her look to her cryptic book, then, a glimmer of light appeared in the fog of her mind. The whole spread and spread until it had fully gone ad she could think again.

Her eyes widened as she began to realize what had just happened in the past. "TWO WHOLE DAYS! I can't go for two whole days without chakra! I need to get back to the village stat! I need to talk to Yari and…..oh no! What about Ben!" she said freaking out in a voice a little louder than her normal one.

Neji covered his ears and looked at her with a begging face on that she would stop.

After a little while of her still freaking out, he put his hand on her calf closest to him, showing that he would like her attention. She stopped in the middle of a sentence and looked at him.

"Calm down. Two days isn't that bad." He said, now realizing that if he didn't start calming her down, she would return to yelling non-sense.

"I've got things to do! It isn't that easy being…" she said but after realizing what she had just said covered her mouth with her hands.

"Hn?" Neji responded, asking what she was going to say.

"Nothing, its nothing. I've just got a lot of things to do that if I don't do them, I'll end up in big trouble." She said looking down at her book again with a frown.

"I digress, how is Yari?" he said trying to change the subject.

"He's fine. He's gotten better at morphing and what not." She said canceling her frown into a normal expression and looking at the wall parallel to her.

"Mumei…." Neji asked.

"Huh?" Mumei said still looking at the wall as if intrigued by it.

"Why aren't you dead?" Neji asked looking at her. To which, Mumei's eyes widened and she looked at him.
