Nazaki was in the sakura garden, laying down on her back staring at the clouds. She got tired staying inside the house all the time and wanted some fresh air. Last night date was a bore to her. She was to busy thinking about that mysterious man. Hashirama seems like a nice guy and all, but Nazaki don't want him. When Nazaki had gotten home, her mother was all up in her face wanting to know every detail on what had happened and scolding her here and there and giving her pointers on getting a man to be interested in her. Nazaki didn't protest because she didn't want to disrespect her mother. Her mother was the only person she had. Sighing, she closed her eyes imagining him in her mind. He was perfect in her eyesight, like a perfect God. He seemed strong and an important person too.
"Nazaki- Chan!" A familiar voice ranged out to her. Nazaki opened her eyes and sat up looking around, spotting the same little girl from the store a while back. What was her name? Nana? No that couldn't be it.. was it?...
"Zana!" Nazaki yelled out to the little girl. Nazaki stood up and walked over to the little girl. The little girl had long black hair in a high ponytail with her ninja gear on, with a bright smile on her face.
"Guess what Na-Chan? My parents had enrolled me in the academy! Isn't that great? I'm gonna become the best ninja in the entire world!" The little girl said as she fist pumped the air while jumping in the air. Nazaki smiled at the girl enthusiasm. She has never met a person with this much energy and happiness. Nazaki begin to wonder if she was like this when she was younger. Nazaki bent down eye level to the girl.
"That is great Zana! I want you to train hard okay? To be the best ninja you can be."
"I will! Just for you! oh! and when i get out the academy i also want you to come to my chunin exams and watch me beat up everybody!" Zana exclaimed hugging Nazaki legs, before sprinting off back to wherever she came from.
Nazaki chuckled lightly to herself That girl... is something else. All of a sudden Nazaki began to feel pain in her chest.
"Ow." Nazaki winced as she began coughing heavily,earning stares from people, covering her mouth with her hands as she fell down to her knees. She looked down at her hands to see blood. She couldn't register what was going on as her body went into shock. She felt pain in her chest and her body fell to the ground her eyesight becoming blurry as she see people running towards her and an old lady screaming "Help her!"
Her eyesight still blurry she couldn't make out the peoples faces, she saw long black hair and a person with long brown hair. She felt herself get picked up and slipped into total darkness.

White was all she could see. The room was bright "Am i dead?" She thought out loud thinking she was alone until she heard a deep chuckle coming from the corner of the room. Nazaki looked at the direction where the sound came from and saw the Mysterious man again. Is it fate that we keep meeting again?
"Are you stalking me?" Nazaki joked. He smirked and walked to her side of the bed and his face changed to a serious one.
"The nurses are running some test to check to make sure you don't have anything going on with you. They should be here any minute. I had promised Hashirama that i would look over you until you woke up since he had his little Hokage duties.... I'm leaving." Nazaki kept a smile on her face on the outside but in the inside she was dying. She wanted him to stay, she had thought he was here on his own will. What a huge disappointment. The man didn't waste any time waiting for a response and turned around to leave, taking long strides to the door.
"Wait! I didn't get your name!" She called out to him making him stop in his tracks. He turned around towards her with an annoyed look on his face.
"Why do you want to know my name so badly?" He questioned her making Nazaki lost for words.
"It is common courtesy.. is it not?"
"Hn. Trust me, you do not want to know my name." He stared at her with an almost 'Try me' look on his face. She was a little hesitant to say something back to him. He intimidated her.
"W-why is that?"
"It would only scare you away.... Take care Nazaki" He said and left the room without a word. It would scare me away? Knowing his name?
Nazaki wanted to know what he meant by that. But she was quickly cut off from her thinking process when a nurse came in with a smile.
"Okay Miss Jengi, we had ran some test and you are completely healthy and you can go home today." That don't seem right.. she thought to herself.
"Are you sure? I was coughing up blood.." Nazaki trailed off. The nurse huffed at Nazaki.
"I am positive. I'm a nurse for a reason." The nurse pointed out to Nazaki in a rude manner. With that the nurse left the room leaving Nazaki there sitting on her bed.
"Well, no need to be rude then." Nazaki whispered to herself as she got off the bed and changed out of the hospital gown and into her regular kimono. She looked out the window to see it was dark out. Her eyes widen
"Oh shoot! I passed my curfew!" She yelled and ran out the room and out the hospital to run into a man back and fell to the ground with a hard thud.
"Oww.." She moaned in pain and opened her eyes to see Hashirama looking down at her with a amused face.
"Nazaki are you alright?" He asked and helped her up. She dusted herself off and looked at him with a small smile.
"Oh im fine. Also thank you for having that guy look over me while you were gone." Nazaki said.
Hashirama looked at her with a confused face.
"I didn't ask him to look after you. He said he wanted to." this made Nazaki heart skip a beat. She smiled at him filling happy inside.
"Oh did i say that? I meant to say Thank you for taking me to the hospital." She covered up. A terrible cover up anyways but Hashirama let it slide and he smiled at her.
"No problem. I came here to pick you up so i can take you home. I already talked to your mother about what had happened today. She is worried about you, so lets get you home." he held out his hand for her to take and she took it and they began walking to her house. Having a small chitchat about their day and about him being Hokage.
They made it to her house and saw her mother outside waving at them. Her mother ran to Nazaki and gave Nazaki a bear hug.
"Ohh Child! I was so worried about you!" Her mother let go of Nazaki and turned towards Hashirama and bowed to him.
"Thank you so much for taking care of my daughter. Would you like to come in?" Nazaki looked at Hashirama and hoped he would say no. It wasn't because she didn't like him. It was just that Nazaki knew her mother, and she knew her mother was trying to play matchmaker.
"No thank you. It's pretty late, and Nazaki here should get her rest." Hashirama replied while rubbing the back of his neck with one hand. Nazaki took a big breath of relief and smiled at him while taking her mother hand.
"Well, thank you Hashirama for everything, and have a nice night."
"No problem, Bye Ladies."
Hashirama walked away from the two short ladies and his figure had dissapeared in the darkness. Nazaki had took her mother inside the house while shaking her head at her mother endless compliments on Hashirama. She took her mother to her room and put her mother in bed.
"Goodnight mother. I love you." She said while turning out the light and walking to her room.
Nazaki laid in her bed on her side looking at the blank wall ahead of her. Thinking about her health, the guy she still don't know his name, and Hashirama, and Zana. She turned to her other side and fell asleep ready for tomorrow.
