She sits up, tries to ignore the sudden dizziness, and peeks at the form lounging in the chair beside her bed. Sometimes, she wonders what everyone sees in that pathetic excuse of a boy. But at other times, she cannot refrain from admiring his handsome features and messy black hair that would somehow look ridiculous on any other head.

"What are you thinking about?"
She lifts her gaze and notices Sasuke's intense stare.
