“ Is she okay?! “ I heard someone say. It sounded like Sasuke. My eyes opened up and I sat up. I sighed. It wasn’t Sasuke. It was Kakashi. Don’t get me wrong, I’m always happy to see him, but ever since Sasuke saw Itachi, I haven’t heard from him, and frankly I’m starting to worry about him. Disappointed, I laid back down. I knew I was in the emergency room, but I didn’t know why. While I was busy trying to remember what happened, I didn’t realize that a doctor had come to my side. “ Hey, Rai, you remember me don’t you? “ she asked. I looked up. “ Tsunade? “ I asked. “ You do remember me! Great! Now, Kakashi, come over here please “ she said.2

Kakashi did as he was told. “ You can sit down if you’d like “ she said pointing to a stool. Kakashi looked at her oddly and then reached for the stool. “ Oh, stop playing distrust with me, I know what I”m doing “ she said. “ Now, Rai, tell me if this hurts “ She started pinch at the outside of my seal. “ Uh, no “ I said. “ Okay, how about this? “ she pinched the very inside of my seal causing me to scream. “ Yes, yes that hurts! “ I yelled. “ Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to cause that much pain “ she turned around to Kakashi. “ I think you’d better reseal it now, it’s almost broken and if NineTails chakra mixes with her chakra, we’re gonna have a big problem. She’s not old enough to handle it yet, when she’s a Jonin perhaps “ Tsunade said. 3

Kakashi stood up. “ I’ll do it right now “ he said. “ Come on Rai, can you walk? “ he asked helping me out of bed. “ I don’t think so “ I said putting my hand on my left temple. I had a real headache. “ What’s wrong? “ he asked. “ Nothing, I just have a real bad headache “ I answered. “ Here, put your arm around me “ Kakashi said. Kakashi Sensei was too tall for me to put it around his neck so I put it around his waist. Even though I knew he was trying to help me it felt odd. He took it slow, and I’m glad he did.
