I can't seem to move, but I feel the weight of the blankets on top of me. My head seems to be supplied by something soft. My only guess is that it's a pillow. My eyes, even though they are shut are begginning to burn from what I can only guess to be a beam of light coming through my windows.
With all the energy I can muster I open my eyes, painfully but carefully. After this I seam to get more energy to move. It must be the fact that I accomplished something already. With my eyes now open I start to move my fingers. With that done I can soon move my arms. I then try to move my head which is now a successful motion. With my arms I slowly push myself up to look around the room. I find my brother asleep on a chair by my bed. Having enough feeling in my legs I swing them and myself off the bed.
Concentrating the little chakra I have in my hands, I pull Kakashi up from his chair and take him to his own bed. This was more of an effort than I thought it would be. I swear he's put on a lot of weight since I've been gone. That or I'm weaker than I thought.
Once he's in his bed I cover him and sit by his bed watching him sleep. For someone that has seen and suffered so much, he always looks so peaceful and is always so happy. I'm proud to call him my big brother.
As I play with his hair he finally wakes up. With one eye open he smiles at me with pure joy...but then he pulls me down with him under the covers and hugs me until I can't breathe.
I can't even say a single word. All I can do is make uncomfortable noises and gasps for air.
Finally he pulls away and I notice the bags under his eyes. Only now noticing how tiered he must be.
"Kakashi, what happened?" My voice was raspy from being passed out and dehydrating. I wonder how long I was out for anyway.
"Well..." he scratched the back of his head suddenly becoming nervous.
"Well?" I repeated. Ok no more talking until I get a drink. I sound horrific!
He sighed in annoyance and spoke. "You started to turn Rin. Tsunade tried to hurry up and get to you after you screamed for help but... She didn't make it in time. However, someone else did. Before you say anything! It was another Jinjuroki. His name is Gaara of the sand, he is also the one tail. His father was the 4th Kazakage. Anyway! He used his sand to keep you under control whilst his brother sedated you. After that Tsunade got to you and along with Garra's sister, they took you to the dungeon. Your lepored was in control for 2 days and then you both passed out. The next day I came back and Tsunade informed me about what happened and that I could take you home. You were only awake for a moment before passing out again. Since then you've been out for 2 weeks and 5 days."
Wow, that was a long explanation from him. I think he's out of breath now.
"I guess, next time I see Gaara I'm gonna have to thank him and his siblings"
"They won't be leaving until tomorrow so you should see them today if you're up for it"
"Right, well as long as you make me food I'll be off." I'm excited to meet another Jinjuroki, so is my lepored. I wonder why? She's never this happy about anything!
"Oh shut up Ringo! There's something different about this guy. I feel a pull to him."
"If you say so"
I suddenly realise that Kakashi has been waving his hand infront of my face.
"Are you alright Rin, you zoned out and I couldn't get your attention?"
"Yeah I'm fine, I was just talking to my demon"
"Alright, well get ready and you can go see them. I'll get Naruto to take you since he and Gaara are good friends."
"Thanks onii-chan"
Whilst I was walking out his bedroom door I heared him scream "DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
I love this. It's funny. He hates it.

***42 minutes later***

Now that I'm ready and out I just need to look for Naruto. Kakashi said it wouldn't be too hard since he's the one that bursts in and barks first. God that sounded creepy!
As I turn the corner from the market I realise that I should be getting on with the investigation.
"We've been out of it for days! First we need a break, so let's go and see Gaara! I need to see him NOW!"
Well that happened...
It smells like I won't even need Naruto to find Gaara. His scent is intoxicating! It's warm and I just want... No need more of it! What is up with me?!
Inhaling the delicious scent I turn down alleyways and and jump over rooftops until finally I find him.
His bright red hair and sea foam eyes just make me weak at the knees. His stare is immense. He starts to walk towards me and I to him. It's like I no longer have control of my own body. This immense feeling it's pulling me to him.
The word just slips out of my mouth without warning.
"MATE"
