I woke up to darkness. Where was I? What happened? I remembered fighting Zabuza and passing out as I helped Kakashi. I remembered Sasuke picking me up and helping me out of the battlefield. But where was this place? This wasn't the forest? Why is it black? I felt some light seep through. There were footsteps and before I knew, there was a bunch of light and Sakura came into my view. She looked at my face and gasped,
"C'mon guys! She's awake." she yelled. I saw Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei walk in and stared at me. I looked around at my surroundings. Was this a cave?
"Where are we?" I croaked. Sakura rushed outside and got water when she heard my dry voice.
"After you passed out, me and Sakura came to this cave, while Kakashi- sensei fought Zabuza and won. Zabuza was then taken away by tracker ninja," Sasuke started. Kakashi - sensei nodded and looked like he was thinking.
" I think Zabuza might still be alive," Kakashi- sensei stated bluntly. I gasped and tried to stand up only to have pain and nausea and was about to fall. Sasuke quickly caught me and I grunted at my aching limbs. "You shouldn't be standing on your own right now. Your injuries are still deep," Kakashi sensei muttered. I got into a sitting position and looked at Kakashi-sensei telling him to continue. "The tracker ninja that picked him up was very suspicious. He picked him up and took him to another place instead of killing him on the spot. I think he is a comrade of Zabuza." I stared at him the whole time while he explained what he thought. I didn't understand a bit except the 'he might be Zabuzas partner' part. If Zabuza is still alive then we might have to fight him again. I thought. I have to recover soon. I looked at Sakura.
"How long until you think I can recover?" I asked Sakura. She gave it a thought and answered,
"Probably a day or two until you can walk again." I looked at her and smiled. I wasn't in as much pain and was healing quickly. This is going to fly by.
