Chapter 7
Disclaimer-THE ONLY THING I OWN ARE MY OC'S AND THE PLOT!
Naruto POV
The next morning, the first thing I did when I woke up was to check on Jinrou. The fist thing I noticed was that she was in the same position as last night. I walked over to her and looked into her deep blue eyes. I bent down close to her ear and whispered in it without actually touching her.
"Jinrou, I'm so sorry. Please come back to us." I straightened up and saw her eye slightly twitch. It was so small a movement, I must have imagined it. I shook my head and walked out the door. There was a knock at my door. I answered it and saw Sasuke.
"What?" I asked him.
"I wanted to explain something to you, dork." He said and walked in. He stood in the doorway and watched Jinrou for a bit. "It wasn't her fault." He said looking at me.
"What are you talking about?" I told him in a cold voice.
"It wasn't her fault. I kissed HER. She didn't even respond, she was so surprised." He muttered and went back to looking at Jinrou.
"What are you saying?" I shook my head back and forth.
"That you made her go like this because you were too stupid to ask before you accused." He told me looking me in the eye. I felt my eyes widen. I should have listened to her. It's all my fault she's like this. Sasuke walked into the room. He whispered something to her and kissed her forehead. I saw him squeeze his eyes in pain, but no sound came out of him. He walked past me and straight out the door. I went and sat down on Jinrou's bedside. What I didn't notice, was her hair color turning from a vibrant white, to just white, and her eyes got lighter. She was slowly coming back and I didn't notice.
Sasuke POV
I walked into the room Jinrou was in. She looked so beautiful, but she shouldn't be like this. I leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"I told Naruto everything. I know he feels sorry. Please come back to us and make me smile again the way only you know how." I leaned back and kissed her forehead. I squeezed my eyes against the pain and didn't make a sound. I walked past a dazed Naruto and out the door. I went to go train to take my mind off the girl who could make me smile no matter what.
Jinrou POV
When I woke up, I was lying on Ookami and she was already awake.
"Hey." I said. My voice was horse from all the crying I did yesterday.
"How are you feeling?" She asked looking at me with her big grey eyes that resembled my own. I was still in the form I was in when I snapped. Suddenly, it felt as if though someone was whispering in my ear. It was Naruto's voice!
"Jinrou, I'm so sorry. Please come back to us." My eye gave the slightest twitch. So, he's sorry and wants me back? Well, no. I'm very comfortable where I am right now, and I'm still hurt. I sighed and sat back down next to Ookami. There was another voice! This time it was Sasuke!
"I told Naruto everything. I know he feels sorry. Please come back to us and make me smile again the way only you know how." He whispered in my ear. I felt the slightest pressure on my forehead. I touched where I felt it and blushed.
"I think he just kissed my forehead." I told Ookami. She nodded.
"Knowing him, I'm surprised he didn't kiss you on the lips again." I blushed at the memory and touched my lips. Ookami was watching me the whole time.
Naruto POV
About half an hour after Sasuke left, there was another knock at my door I opened it and saw Sakura and Kakashi-sensei.
"Yeah?"
"We came to see how Jinrou is doing." Sensei stated. They went in. Sakura went in first. She talked to Jinrou but I wasn't paying attention to what she was saying. When she went out, sensei walked in and talked to her too.
"Your must have really hurt her." Sakura whispered to me.
"I know." I whispered back.
"When she gets up, she's going to beat the hell out of you. And I'm going to help her. You know that right?" I looked at her with an eyebrow raised, but nodded none the less. Sensei came out and they left. I stayed in the living room and didn't see that Jinrou's hair was now turning an almost grey-white and her eyes were blue with grey swirled in.
Jinrou POV
A while after Sasuke talked to me, I heard Sakura.
"Jinrou, I know we got off on a bad start, but please come back! You have no idea what it's doing to our team! You can tell everyone misses you. I miss you. I need another girl on the team so that I don't feel so alone. Please come back." She whispered the last part. I looked at Ookami.
"Even the fangirl wants me back." I told her.
"Jinrou, you have to come back." Oh crap, it was Kakashi-sensei! "Your team needs you! No one is acting like their usual selves because they miss you so much. Please, for you team, me, and yourself, come back." He said and he was gone too. I looked at Ookami sadly.
"It seems like they really want me back." I told her. She nodded her head. "But I don't think I'm ready. I don't want to go back just yet." She nodded in understanding and I laid down next to her to her and took a nap.
Lee POV
Gai-sensei told us the news he was told from Kakashi.
"Sensei, can I go see her?" I asked him. He raised an eyebrow.
"Sure, just come back quickly."
"Thank you sensei!" I ran out and went to Naruto's apartment. I knocked on the door and he answered a few seconds later.
"Yeah?"
"I came to see Jinrou." I said hurriedly.
"She can't see you right now." He said shifting his weight.
"In the situation she's in." His eyes widened.
"Ok." He stepped aside and I went into the room. She looked like she did when I saw her at the waterfall, except her colors were fading to what they normally are. I walked next to her and whispered in her ear.
"Jinrou? It's me, Lee. I know we barely know each other, but please come back. Everyone misses you. Please come back, so we can have that swim." I straightened up and looked at her. I left, but not before patting Naruto on the shoulder. Nobody noticed, that her hair was now a dark grey almost black, and her eyes were grey with a bit of blue.
Jinrou POV
"Jinrou? It's me, Lee. I know we barely know each other, but please come back. Everyone misses you. Please come back, so we can have that swim." I heard someone whisper in my ear. Oh, Lee is the kid I met at the waterfall. I looked up at Ookami and into her wise eyes.
"What do I do?" I asked her. She shook her head at me.
"That's for you, and you alone, to decide." I sighed.
Naruto POV
It was late in the afternoon, almost night. The whole team and that Lee kid were here. None of us have gone in the room since Lee. There was a knock on the door. When I opened it, I was surprised. It was the Hokage.
"Naruto, I came to see Miss Jinrou." I nodded and let him in. Everyone looked surprised. He walked into the room and we all crowded around the door to see. He began to speak to her.
"Jinrou. I know you feel scared and want to stay safe, but you have to come out. Your team needs you. Now, come out and show me the brake girl I met. Show me that I didn't make you a ninja of the Village Hidden in the Leaves for nothing!" He yelled at her. There was a glow of bright blue like when she left. When the glow died down, Jinrou gasped. She scrambled up and sat up. She looked around. We all went into the room and around the bed. She looked around and when she got to Sasuke, she practically flew out of bed. She jumped on him and hugged him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. She was crying into the crook of his neck and he hugged her back.
Jinrou POV
I was still thinking about what I should do, when I heard a voice that sounded very familiar.
"Jinrou. I know you feel scared and want to stay safe, but you have to come out. Your team needs you. Now, come out and show me the brake girl I met. Show me that I didn't make you a ninja of the Village Hidden in the Leaves for nothing!" He yelled. He was right. I kissed Ookami's fur and concentrated on going back to my body.
When I felt myself be solid, I gasped. I sat up in a hurry and saw everyone. I looked around and saw the Hokage, Lee, Kakashi-sensei, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke. Oh, Sasuke. He looked so worn out, like he hadn't gotten much sleep. He was paler than usual, had dark purple bags under his eyes, and looked stressed. All because of me. I flew out of bed and tackled him in a hug. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. I cried into his neck and he hugged me back.
"I'm so sorry." I kept whimpering. He rubbed circles in my back.
"Come on." He told me. He set me down on my feet and grabbed my hand. We jumped out the window and he starting taking me somewhere.
