Yahoo! I feel great! These warm comfty blankets I'm under feel amazing! It feels like Tou-san and Kaa-san's bed.
I opened my small eyes and looked around. I was in Konoha Hospital. So I got here?
Ooh, I'm going to go visit Tou-san first then Kaa-san and Nii-san!
"Yeah, I'm going to go change Atsuko's bandages," I heard Sakura's voice say from outside the door.
"Shoot," I snapped my finger.
I sat up and opened the window next to my window.
"Sorry, but I don't have time to get my bandages change, Sakura-san," I waved my hand and jumped out the window. I stood on the wall outside near the window.
I heard Sakura gasped.
"Oh no! She can't be moving around a lot. Ecspecially with the new chakra poison she has in her," Sakura panicked.
Chakra poison? Eh, maybe Tou-san will know something about it.
I hopped away to his office with not as much ease as before. I didn't go in through the door because I didn't want nobody to see me. Luckily, the window to his office was open. I stood on the frame of the window.
"Yo, Tou-san."
He turned around from his work.
"Atsuko?!"
"Hey, Tou-san."
"I..."
I didn't have time to respond, when he took me in his arms and hugged me to death.
"Tou-san..."
"I thought I was going to lose you."
"Huh?"
He pulled back to look at me.
"The chakra poison was slowly killing you."
"AH! IS IT STILL IN ME?!"
"I don't know you left the hospital."
"I GOTTA GO BACK!"
I panically jumped out the window and headed to my hospital room and Tou-san followed. When I got back to the room, I saw an upset Ino and a ticked off Sakura.
I jumped on top of the bed making me bounce a couple of times.
"Hey, Ino-san, Sakura-san," I laughed nervously.
Ino got angry, too.
"I only went to Tou-san's office," I squeaked and blocked my face.
"Get her," Ino yelled.
Sakura threw me under the cover, while Ino got rope.
Rope!
They tied me to the bed by my ankles, waist, and shoulders. They tied my wrists together. I struggled against the ropes.
Sakura and Ino looked at me admiring their work.
"Good job, Forehead," Ino said.
"You too, Ino-pig," Sakura said.
I looked at Tou-san with unbelievable eyes.
"Really?! You stood there and watched?!," I yelled.
"Never get in between those two," he warned.
I sighed and looked back at Ino and Sakura.
"So, what about this chakra poison I have in me?," I asked them.
"Well, according to the test results, its ment to take the person who got infected ability to be a ninja."
"I'M NOT A SHINOBI ANY MORE?!," I panicked.
"No, you still are a shinobi," Ino said.
"Whew," I blew out a breath.
"Whoever helped you, got most of the poison out," Sakura said.
"Who were you with last, Atsuko?," Tou-san asked.
I thought for a minute. No way he did this!
"Sasuke," I said through gritted teeth.
Everyone gasped.
"You were with Sasuke-kun?," Ino asked
"Yeah. First, he knocked me out by head butting me. Then, I woke up in an unknown place and Sasuke was there. I had a bad pain in my chest at the time. Sasuke ordered me to go to sleep and if I didn't he'll hurt me with Chidori. I went to sleep and woke up here," I told them.
"Teme," they all whispered.
Jeez!
"What happened before you were with Sasuke?," Tou-san asked.
"I was fighting a woman named Kega?," It came out as a question.
"Are you sure?," Tou-san asked walking over to me.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I don't think I can forget that name," I said.
"What kind of name is Kega for a girl?," Sakura asked.
"I don't know, but she challenged me to a fight," I sighed.
"And what did you do?," Tou-san raised an eyebrow.
"I didn't have time to answer! She charged at me before I could anything," I told him.
"Were you hurt?," he asked.
"Some broken ribs, Naruto-kun," Ino told him.
Tou-san sighed and sat down on the bed.
"What did she look like?," he asked.
"Uh...long gray hair, killer red eyes, and a sadistic smile," I told him.
He nodded.
"Where's Jun?," Tou-san looked at me.
"He's not here?," I asked.
Tou-san shook his head no at me.
"Oh, well its still in the middle of the day," I said.
They looked at me sadly.
"What?"
"Its been more than one day, Suko," Ino said.
"How long has it been?," I scratched my head.
"A week," Sakura answered. "Apparently the poison had a great impact on you."
"Oh," I lowered my voice.
Wait!
"I'm not blind in my left eye anymore!," I cheered.
"Can you see clearly?," Sakura asked.
"Its a little fuzzy, but its okay," I said.
"Is there anything else, Atsuko?," Tou-san asked.
"Yeah, two things actually," I said.
He nodded.
"First, Kega has a partner. I haven't seen the person, though."
"Okay."
"And I need your help."
"What is it?"
"Um, I met a boy name Kaede in Oji-san's village. Kega took his parents and didn't leave trace or clue."
"Hmm."
"Please help Tou-san! He's really upset."
"Alright, I'll send a team."
"Yes!"
"Do you remember where you were at?"
"No, I was knocked out," I laughed. "But it has to be near Konoha because we were heading there."
"Okay. I have to get back to work. I'll come by tonight, okay?"
"Hai."
Tou-san left by the door this time and walked down the hall.
"What about the rest of the poison?," I asked Ino and Sakura.
"We can take that out now," Sakura said.
Ino took the rope off my wrists. She lifted my arm and looked for a vain. When she found one, she injected the shot. She withdrew the poison from my blood. The poison was green and it mixed in with my blood.
"Okay, that should be all of it," Ino said.
"Thank you," I thanked.
Sakura removed the ropes and they left red marks across my tan skin.
"I have to change your bandages now," Sakura said.
She quickly changed my blood stained bandages into white clean ones.
"Okay, Atsuko, can I keep the ropes off? Are you going to leave again?," Sakura me with her eyes.
Something's telling me not to lie...
"No, I won't leave, Sakura-san," I answered innocently with a smile.
"Good, lets go Ino. She needs to rest," Sakura said getting her partner.
"Yes, you're right. Bye, Atsuko," Ino waved.
"Bye, Ino-san," I waved.
I waited five minutes after they left to get dress.
"Yeah right," I snickered.
I reached for my bag that was on a chair next to my bed. I took out my new jacket I got at the sparring tournament and put it on. I zipped it up half way letting the bandages show. Then, I slipped on my orange boy shorts. I slung my googles over my bandages carefully not to hurt my head.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
I made one clone.
"Fake sleep," I ordered.
"Yes ma'am!," she soluted.
I soluted her back. I jumped out of the window and actually remembered to close it. I went to the village entrance to wait for Jun and Kaede.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER...
Jun and Kaede finally came.
"Nee-chan," Kaede yelled.
He hugged me and I winced.
"Uh, please not to tight, Kaede," I asked him.
"Ah, are you injured," he asked with big orbs.
"Yeah," I chuckled.
He turned his head to the side and squished it into my side. I ruffled his hair.
"Are you okay, Chibi," Jun asked.
"Yeah, I managed," I sighed. "What happen to you?"
"I had to take down this guy, so he wouldn't hurt Kaede," he said.
"That must be Kega's partner," I mumbled to myself.
"What?," Jun asked.
"Eh, nothing. Kaedeeee.," I looked down at him.
"Hmm," he said not moving from his position.
"My Otou-san said he's gonna find you parents," I smiled.
Kaede perked up.
"He is?!," he asked.
"Yep, he's gonna send a team," I told him.
"Yay! Thank you!," he hugged me tighter.
I winced, but a smile appeared on my face.
"Don't thank me, thank Tou-san."
"Can I go meet him?!"
"Uh, he's working right now. Later I promise."
"Okay!"
I took Kaede around the village and go eat ramen. It was so fun, I forgot about the hospital.
"Shoot!"
"Oh, Atsukoooo," I heard Sakura's voice.
I jumped off the stool and started running.
"AHHH!"
"Don't run, I just want to get you back to the hospital."
"Liar!"
I jumped on top of the roof. She started chasing me on the buildings in Konoha. Not once have I landed on the ground. I jumped passed Tou-san's window.
"Tou-san, help me!," I screamed.
"This is your battle," he smirked.
"AAAHHH!"
"Thank you, Hokage-sama," Sakura thanked.
"She's all yours," Tou-san folded his hands behind his head.
"Tou-san!," I yelled.
This went on until night fall. Never was I able to land on the ground. It ended with me slapped through my hospital room's window and strapped down to the bed with METAL straps.
