I am running back towards the tower. I can't believe Orochimaru knows about it. I finally reach the tower. I enter and go to the main room. I don't really see anybody except for a selective few of ninjas. There is a weird sensation in the back of my throat. Oh no! I run towards the restroom and puke all of the food out of my system. This isn't good. I'm getting to that point. I wipe away the leftover puke around my mouth.

I turn around to face Anko. "Are you alright?" She asks. I nod. I start to fault. Kuso! I'm getting dizzy. Anko catches me. She puts her hand on my forehead. "You're burning up!" She says. I try to move away from her. "I'm fine." I say. "No you are not, Misaki. You're head is burning hotter than anybody who has a fever. I'm taking you to the hospital." Anko says. She lifts me up bridal-style.

"I'm fine...really." I say. Trying not to fall into the darkness. "It's fine go to sleep. I'll tell your dad." She says. I shake my head. "Don't tell him until the preliminary matches are over." I say. She seems surprised and then nods. I smile. I let my conscious slide into the depths of the darkness. I start to get deeper and deeper into the darkness. I can't go any farther. That's when I see a bright light behind me. I turn around and heads towards the light.

I smile as I get closer to the light. Suddenly the light is too bright and I close my eyes. I have a dry throat. Dehydration. I try to open my eyes, but it's bright that I have to give me eyes a few moment to get used to them. I feel someone holding my hands. I sit up quickly. I look to my left. The one holding my hand is...Sasuke. The one holding my right hand is Dad.

I smile and blush at Sasuke. They probably didn't get any sleep. I'll let them be. I hear the door open. The doctor walks in and smiles once he sees me. "It's nice to see you are awake now." He says. "How long have I've been out?" I ask. "About three days." He says. I sigh. I didn't think I would sleep that long. "Well...Anko-san asked me to check if you had any complication so I checked. Misaki...do you know that you're pregnant?" The doctor says.

I sigh. I gulp the lump in my throat. I nod. "Does anyone else know?" He asks. "Only a few, but that doesn't include my dad." I say. He sighs. "Well, you will need to tell him sooner or later. I recommend telling him when he wakes up. He's been worried sick about you, same thing goes to the boy." He says and points to Sasuke. I nod. "Thank you." I say. He nods and leaves the room.

I sigh. I was planning to tell Dad. Although I didn't think I would have to tell him now. I suddenly feel a grip on my right hand. Dad's head raises and then he looks at me for a second. After that second...he hugs me. "You scared me to death, Misaki. Why didn't you let Anko tell me the moment you got to the hospital?" He asks. "I didn't want to worry you. It's also because you have a team to look after." I say. He sighs and kisses me on the forehead.

"You are my first and most important priority." He says. I smile. I feel a stir in Sasuke. He raises his head and as soon as he saw his hand holding on to mine. He blushed and pulled his hand away. I laugh a little. "So the doctor wouldn't tell us what's wrong?" Sasuke says. "He just left and told me." I say with a sad tone. "What's wrong?" Dad asks. I tear slides down my face.

"I never wanted to tell you, but...Sasuke, can you let me talk to my dad alone?" I say. He glares for a moment, but understands and leaves the room. Once Sasuke leaves I turn towards Dad. "What is so important that Sasuke can't be in here?" He asks. I take a deep breathe. "Dad...don't freak out when I tell you this. It's not anybody from here, but...I'm pregnant." I say. There is a long silence after I say it. I start to cry. I feel arms wrapping around me. "It's alright, honey. I'm not mad, well not a lot. I can tell that you didn't want it to happen. When did this happen?" He asks.

I wipe my eyes. I sigh. "Well...it's a long story. It was while I was traveling around to different villages." I say. Dad does his signature smile.

"I can listen to all of it, if it helps you feel better." He says. I smile.
