I walk into the kitchen to help prepare dinner with Tsunami. "Hey Misaki." Naruto says. I wave back to him. "How's Kakashi-sensei doing?" He asks. "He's doing fine. I healed his wounds so he should be awake in a few hours or so." I say. "Woah! How do you know Medical Ninjutsu?" He asks. I chuckle. "While I was on a journey, I met this women. I had trained under her and she is a great medical ninja." I say with a smile.

"That's cool." He says with a huge grin. I see Sasuke and Sakura walk in. "Sakura! Help Tsunami and I cook dinner." I say. She nods and quietly follows me to the kitchen. "Tsunami-san, do you need any help?" I ask. She smiles. "It's alright." She says. I shake my head. "My mother taught me to always help out especially when I am staying over at another's home." I say. She smiles. "Your mother taught you well. Since you are insisting, you and the other girl can help me cook." She says. I bow. "Thank you." I say.

She giggles. "No need to be formal. Also, I haven't caught your names yet?" She says. "You already know who I am." I say. "My name is Haruno Sakura." Sakura says. "Nice to meet you, Sakura." Tsunami says. "Well let's get cooking. We don't have all day before the boys get hungry." I say. The girls giggle. I haven't had this much fun in a while. "Ji-chan!" Says a young boy with a hat. "Oh! Inari!" Tazuna says. He turns to look at us. "You're all going to die. You won't ever be able to beat Gato!" Inari says.

Naruto gets mad by what Inari says. "I am a hero. Just you watch!" Naruto says. "There is no such things as heroes." Inari says and runs off. "You little-" I cut Naruto off by holding him back. "Just leave him. You don't know his circumstances for saying those things." I say. Naruto let's it go and goes back to sit. "Dinner's ready!" Tsunami says. I hear rustling upstairs. I walk to the stairs. "Where are you going, Misaki?" Sakura asks.

"To get Kakashi. He's awake." I say. 'How does she know he's awake?' Everyone thought. I walk upstairs and stop at the room Kakashi is in. I quietly open the door. I walk inside. "You're finally awake. Dinner is ready." I say. He smiles. "I see. I'll come down." He says and tries to get up. "Wait. Kakashi. Don't get up-" I stop my sentence when I try to catch Kakashi, but he falls on top of me. This is awkward and weird. "Sorry Misaki." He says. "It's ok." I say.

I get up and pull him up with me. I wrap one of his arms around my neck and I walk out the room. "Be careful." I say as we walk down the stairs. As we are walking down, we...slip. I protect Kakashi since he is already injured. I close my eyes as to feel the impact and when I did, darkness consumed me.

**Morning**

I wake up with a huge migraine. I try to sit up. "Don't." A voice says. I turn around to see Kakashi. "Hey." I say. He slightly frowns. "I'm sorry about yesterday." He says. I smile. I touch his shoulders. "It's ok, Kakashi. I was protecting you because you were already injured. Wouldn't want our sensei to be beaten up in the middle of a mission now would we?" I say. He chuckles. "You're right." He says. The door opens. I see Sasuke walk in. "Breakfast is ready, Kakashi-sensei and Misaki." He says. "We will be right there." Kakashi says. He nods and leaves the room.

I try sitting at the edge of the bed. I fail and I fall into warm arms. "Be careful." Kakashi says. "I'm fine. Just wait." I say. I stand up straight and close my eyes. "Iryo Ninjutsu: Kyanseru (Medical Ninjutsu: Cancel)" I whisper and touch my head. My migraine disappears. I open my eyes and stand up. "All better." I say. I look towards Kakashi and he looks surprised. "How did you-" He says, but I cut him off. "Just a skill of mine." I say with a smirk.

I grab Kakashi's hand. "Let's go eat breakfast." I say. "Wait. I need my crutches." He says. I smile. I take my palms and put them each on his legs. "Misaki, what are you-" He says blushing. "I am going to heal you." I say. "Iryo Ninjutsu: Fukugen (Medical Ninjutsu: Restore)" I whisper. My hands starts to glow green. I move my hands around his legs, healing his leg injuries. I stand up. "There all better." I say. He tries to move his legs. "Wow. You're right. "He says. "I would try to not use your legs with full strength so you can lie to Naruto and the team for training." I say.

He seems surprised. "I know what training you are going to do with them." I say. I grab his hand and drag him down to the kitchen. "Ah finally. " Sakura says. I let go of Kakashi's hands and sit between Naruto and Sasuke. We eat our breakfast. "Kakashi. I have something to say." I say. He looks at me. "Zabuza is still alive." I say. He sighs. "I thought so." He says.

"What?! He still alive. I thought you killed him Kakashi-sensei." Naruto says. The others nod. "Did you guys remember seeing that hunter ninja?" Kakashi says. They nod. "Hunter ninjas usually take care of the enemy at the spot, but this ninja didn't. Also the weapons used on Zabuza and where the ninja had punctured him. I am a medical ninja. That strike was just to put him in a temporary death state. So then he ran away. He wasn't killing Zabuza, he was saving him." I say.

Kakashi seems surprised by my observations. "Misaki is correct. By my understanding it will take him a week to heal and for me to heal also. We will start training after breakfast." Kakashi says. "Yah!" Naruto shouts. I smile.

**Time Skip**

We are in the woods. "We are going to start our training with chakra control." Kakashi says. "But we already learned about the catra in the academy." Naruto says. We all sweat drop except for Sasuke. "It's chakra, Naruto. CHA-KU-RA." I say. He blushes in embarrassment. "Sakura. Explain chakra to Naruto." Kakashi says. Sakura starts talking about the concept about chakra. "Don't we just need to learn the jutsu." Naruto says. I mentally face-palm.

"I agree with the dobe. We just need to learn the jutsu." Sasuke says. Kakashi sighs. "That may be true. But you need to learn how much chakra you should put in each jutsu you use. Each jutsu uses a different amount of chakra." Kakashi says. I concentrate my chakra to my feet and start walking up the tree. "You will climb the tree. None of you guys have touch the surface of chakra control except for myself. " Kakashi says.

*cough* *cough* Everybody starts to look for me. "Over here." I say. They all look at me. Their eyes widen. "Misaki, how did you get up there?" He asks. "Chakra. This is the training you will have to do to achieve chakra control. Chakra control should become second nature to you. Also...Kakashi, I have full control over chakra." I say and jump of the tree. I manipulate the wind so I would land softly on the ground. "MISAKI!" They all yell. I land on the ground with my feet. "I know what I'm doing." I say.

They all sigh with relief. Do they think I'm that stupid? That I would jump of a tree without having a plan.

**Dinner**

We are all eating, but Sasuke and Naruto's eating competition is making me sick. "Stop throwing up each time you eat!" Sakura shouts. "Need...to get...stronger...must...e..at." They both say in unison. I sigh. Once we finish our dinner, the girls help wash the dishes. When we finished, we sat back down while Tsunami finish some stuff. Sakura walks up to a picture. "Who's the person that was torn out of the picture?" Sakura asks. Just had to be nosy. "That is my husband." Tsunami says. "He was the hero of this village." He says. Inari runs out of the room, but before he could Naruto grabs his wrists and stops him.

(I know it's different, but bare with me)

"Stop being a crybaby." Naruto says. Inari pulls his arm away from Naruto. "What would you know about me? You don't know the loneliness of not having a parent!" Inari says and runs off. Naruto goes after him, but this time Kakashi stops him. "I'll go talk to him," He says. Naruto is about to reject, but let's it go. Kakashi follows the way Inari ran off. I follow him also.

They end up being outside watching the moon. I diminish my chakra so they won't notice me and I eavesdrop on their conversation. "You know, Naruto is just like you." Kakashi says. "That guy is like me?!" Inari says. Kakashi nods. "Naruto is an orphan. He never met his parents. He had a bad childhood and he cried. He learned that crying wasn't going to do anything so he stopped crying and put a smile on instead." Kakashi says. I seem a bit surprised by what Kakashi said.

That ends their conversation so I walk back inside the house. "Where we you?" Sakura asks. "Just on a walk. I'm going to sleep. Night.' I say and walk up the stairs. I enter one of the guest rooms I am occupying. I lay down on the bed with my forearm on my head.

Zabuza is still alive. We only have one week.
