I woke up the next morning wrapped in a quilt in my bed. I don't remember Sasuke leaving last night. I also can't remember the last last time I slept so well. This was better than the past few days. The ache in my chest was so light that I could completely ignore it.

I got up from my bed and walked over to my small kitchenette to get a glass of water. I went to my fridge to see if there was some fruit I could snack on while getting ready. I would definitely be eating breakfast at the Inn this morning.

There was a note on my fridge.

I couldn't stay all night. I didn't think it was safe. I will come back tomorrow with the pack doctor. I will fill him in on what happened three years ago. He may have more questions for you. No one will know besides us. We should arrive around noon. Please call me if you need anything, or we need to arrange a different time. Here is my personal cell phone number, so you do not have to call the packhouse. -Sasuke

I could make that work. I'm sure I had plenty of things to catch up on at the Inn, but this was important. I would just get over there and start as soon as possible. I don't mind working late after meeting with the doctor either.

A good night's sleep also renews my energy. I don't know why I slept so well with him. Maybe it was his warmth or the slight forest smell that clung to him.

I went to my dresser, grabbing some legging and a loose-fitting shirt along with some new underwear. I went to my bathroom, showering and dressing quickly. I pulled my hair up in a messy bun. I generally do not wear makeup as I never learned how to put it on.

I made my way up to the Inn and walked in the kitchen door. It was still early enough that Ino wasn't here to start breakfast. I went out to the front desk to figure out what needed to get done today.

I set to work cleaning rooms for check-ins today, breakfast utterly forgotten with a to-do list now in my hands. Last year for Christmas, Ino got me this neat little thing called a MP3 player that she put music on. I like to bring it with me when I do chores like these; it makes the time go by much faster.

After finishing the rooms, I started downstairs. The dining room was full of breakfast stragglers, so I started in the sitting rooms. The Inn had two. I moved around the rooms, dusting shelves and knick-knacks, wiping tables and chairs, cleeaning windows, and vacuuming the rugs.

I was not paying attention to the time. I was dusting shelves facing away from the front door when he came in. Of course, I had no idea until, out of nowhere, I felt a hand on my waist and someone's face next to my ear. I froze as he pulled one of the earbuds from my ear.

"Now don't you look tempting, kitten," his voice said in my ear. Kitten? What? I turn slowly to find myself basically in Sasuke's chest. When the realization came over me, I jumped back. I moved just far enough to smack right into the bookshelf.

"Owww..." I groaned, grabbing the back of my head. The look on Sasuke's face went from one of cocky amusement to panic immediately.

"Karin, I am so sorry. Oh, Goddess, are you okay? Are you bleeding?" He asked worriedly.

"Ow, um, no no. I think I'm okay. Just a bit tender now," I said.

"Why don't we go to the kitchen and put some ice on that just in case, young lady," an older gentleman said behind Sasuke.

"Oh, sure," I said, not noticing the man before.

Before I could, Sasuke grabbed my hand, dragging me back to the kitchen. Luckily, it seems Ino had left to do the shopping for dinner and wasn't in the kitchen. I did not want to explain this to her yet. When we got there, Sasuke turn around, grab me by my waist, and set me on the prep table. He turned to find the freezer. Right in the door, he found the three ice packs be kept on hand. He grabbed one, bringing it over to me. He stood in front of me, splitting my legs to either side of his hip as I sat on the table. He gently press the ice pack to the back of my head as his eyes bore into mine.
