"So! That girl's kinda pretty! What's she like, Sasuke?" Naruto asked. Naruto, Sakura, and I were eating lunch at the ramen shop. Naruto's idea, of course.

"Why don't you just go and talk to her yourself?" I grumbled to Naruto. I really wasn't in the mood for a questioning.

"Yeah! That's a great idea! Let's go there now!"

A few minutes later, I found myself standing outside of Kawai's hospital room. Naruto had dragged Sakura and I there.

Naruto knocked on the door.

"Come in," Kawai replied.

Naruto barged in jumping up and down. "Hi! I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" he yelled. "What's your name?"

Kawai was sitting up in her bed playing with her ribbon.

"I'm Kawai Mojiretsu," she replied, with a half smile one her face. She glanced at me. I shrugged. What can you do?

"My name is Sakura," Sakura said. "I hope you're out of the hospital soon.

"Me too," Kawai replied. She stared out the window.

"So anyway," Naruto cut in, "what was the deal with you not wanting us to know what village you were from? What was that all about?"

"Naruto!" Sakura glared at him.

"No, it's okay," Kawai told her. She looked at Naruto. "I didn't know what villages had just attacked my village. I didn't want to give away where I was from, because had you been the ones to destroy my village, you probably would've tried to kill me."

"Ohhh," Naruto replied.

"What's that big ribbon for?" Sakura asked.

"It's my weapon." Kawai flicked her hand. The ribbon shot over to Naruto, tied him up, and hung him from the ceiling before any of us could move.

"Hey! Get me down from here!" Naruto shouted.

Kawai laughed. The ribbon untied Naruto and lowered him gently to the ground. It then returned to Kawai's hand.

"Wow! How did you do that?" Sakura exclaimed. I tried to hide it, but I was just as impressed as she was.

"I can't go telling you everything, can I?" Kawai laughed.

Behind me, Kakashi walked in. "Well," he said, "I can see you've all become acquainted." He turned to Kawai. "Miss Mojiretsu, you have been cleared to leave the hospital. For the time being, you will be training with Squad 7."

Kawai nodded.

"Now," Kakashi continued, "the only problem is as to where you can stay."

"She can stay at my place," I offered. Everyone turned around to stare at me. I myself wasn't even sure why I had offered.

After a second, Kawai shrugged. "Why not?" she said.

Kakashi looked a little taken aback, but he quickly got over it.

"Well then," he said, "that's settled. I expect to see you all on the bridge at seven o'clock sharp tomorrow morning.

Naruto and Sakura groaned. "Yes, Sensei," they both mumbled.
