Yuki's POV
Shizune said I could take the bandages off of my feet today. They were disrupting my limited 'vision' so I was very happy. After taking off my bandages I was called to Tsunade's office. As I made my way there I had some people in the hallway help me make sure that I was going in the right direction. When I found the room I was to go to I knocked on the door and heard her say 'enter.'
"You wished to see me?" I bowed slightly to her in the door frame.
"Yes, I have some news for you Yuki, please sit." After slidign the door shut I made my way to the seat before her desk. "The hotel that you were stayign that is nearing it's completion of reconstuction, so I have a few options for you. Teh first is that you go back and live like you were before and I will keep an eye on you to be sure that you are alright. The second is that you stay here, you won't have to worry about food, shelter or clothes because I can provide that for you. Lastly is that if you have someone that want's to help you, you are free to go with them. Please think ok this and get back to me in a few days, the manager had talked to me and is happy to continue helping, but she also wishes you would open up to more people than just the few who helped you in the town. Please go enjoy your day and remember, we are all here to help should you need it." With that Tsunade stood and exited the room herself. Following her lead I grabbed a maid and asked her for some help with menial tasks, such as not mixing up toothpaste with a medical cream so I could clean my teeth and pickign out an outfit that didn't have color clashes.

I was walking around talkign with Hinata, Sakura, and Ino when we were approached by another group. Not knowing who it was I shuffled back and slightly ducked behind Ino's arm. She moved her hand to touch mine in the center, a sign that she made to say 'It's alright, I know these people, or It's alright, it's nothing to fear.' Relaxing I slid out from behind her to where I was originally.
"Hey, who's the girl?" A rambuntious voice yelled. Startled by the loudness I slid behind Ino again adn grabbed her arm.
"Be quiet you idiot. If you'd paid attention you'd know that she has been hanging around Ino for a while, but you just run off like a dog al the time." The familiar voice of Shino was a pleasant surprise. To this I made my way over to him and held out my hand. Knowing what it was that I was doing Shino overturned my hand and let some of his bugs crawl onto me. Teh slight sensation of the crawling brought a smile to my face.
"Some of the female lady bugs that I told you about had their off spring, these are them. If you would like I can raise a few to follow you instead of being used in combat with me." Smiling I nodded and he took the lady bugs back.
"You know bug brain? Who are you?" The loud voice came back and he spun me around quickly causing me to lose my balance. As I rocked backwards I felt myself get suspended in air and then i was forced to correct my position. When I felt the constricted feeling leave I latched onto Shino scared. I wasn't paying attention to anytign but calming down so when the new voice entered the converastion I tightened my grip on Shino as he wrapped his arm around my back.
"Sorry about that, I saw you slip and I reacted instintaniously. You fall so much that it really is troublesome." The speech pattern and voice could only match one person I've really come to know very well.
"Don't you know better than to scare me?" I let go of Shino and moved so my body faced Shikamaru. Sighing he came over and patted my shoulder. "Well now, I have to tell you all something. Tsunada told me that the reconstuction of the hotel is nearing its completion. She gave me a choice, go back and live there, stay with her, or stay with someoen willing to help me."
There was a cumulative collection of 'I'll let you stay with me,' 'I'll help you,' and 'Really?' from the group. Sighing I held up my hand, "I'm still thinkign about what I want to do, so I'll get back to you all I just wanted to let you know that that is what is happening currently. This also means that Shikamaru, you will be able to go on missions again."

The girls and I were in Hinata's room at the Hyuuga compound adn we were all talking. "So Hinata, have you and Naruto gotten together yet?" Ino complained as we talked about boys.
"No, I'm waiting for a tiem when we're both here for more than a day for me to tell him that." She giggled and brushed my hair. Ino was sitting on the bed putting make-up on me and Sakura was hanging off of the bed lookign at nail polish on the floor.
"You better just tell him, who knows when that will happen, and besides, better to tell him and let him have time to let it sink in before he goes and does somethign stupid. Who knows maybe he'll realize wha tyou mean and when his mission is over speed back thru the gates, find you, adn sweep you off your feet for a kiss."Sakura day dreamed that senario with Sasuke as the main figure.
"Well you guys have a lot of boy drama don't you?" I giggled at their conversation.
"Well, don't you have someone you like?" Ino asked, pipping in again.
"I must say, I've never really had a crush before, a lady at work tried to pair me up with her son and it turned out that we just ended up outside adn he was tryign to give me swimming lessons and I was tryign to throw rocks at him." I laughed at the memory of him saying that I hit a bird fifteen feet away from him instead. Water messes up my perseption entirely. Every blob moves and I can't see anything. It feels like being suspended in a cold death trap with floating circles of nothingness.
"Well, you need to find a man. Unlike kunichi, regular girls are expected to marry soon and have kids. A family, a life, and enjoy every day. We only see fights and have to make sure people like you stay safe so you can enjoy that life style. So, if you don't have a boyfriend by the time I become an anbu I am making an arranged marraige for you. Also I want to be the god mother, and if it want's to learn make-up adn hair stuff, bring the child over." Ino declaired as she continued to draw around my eyes.
"Hey, what makes you the god mother, I'm more responsible!" Sakura moved making the bed jolt. Ino pulled her hand from my face.
"You almost made me mess up." She turned and pounced on Sakura. Hinata tied off my hair and turned me around.
"Ino, you really didi a good job. Just finish yo the mascara and she's done." Hinata commented as she got off the bed. I heard a door slide open and felt a hand on my face as Ino went to finish up what she was doing.
"I have some old kimono's that are a bit to small on me, but they would look lovely on you. Let's have you try them on and if they fit, you can have them." Hinata said as I heard clothes movign across the room from me.
~Time Skip~
"You look fabulous." Ino
"Amazing." Sakura
"You really do look pretty." Hinata
"Thank you, I bet you all look lovely to, you have such pretty voices I can only imagine what you all look like. I can get a general shape from feeling your faces, but that will never do any justice to what you really look like." Sighing I was careful with my nails as Sakura had painted them for me. "I wish I could do what you just did for me, but I would prpbably paint your whole finger, put lipstick on your nose, and match colors together that just doesn't work." I laughed earning a few from the girls.
"Well, today was lovely, but I really must return to the room Lady Tsunada had lent me. I'll see you tomorrow." Waving I made my way from the compound. They have a mission to go on later tomorrow so we are meetng for breakfast before they have to leave.
Travelign down a road I breathed in fresh air and paused. Turning my head skyward I opened my eyes only to be greeted with the same thing as always. Silence.
"Yuki, is that you, why are you out so late?"
