Amaya wakes up in the hospital and the first face she sees is Sakura. Sakura gasp when Amaya opens her eyes.
"Amaya-san." Sakura calls her name and heal her at where she the sudden pain. "You're not ready to move." She says.
"But i have promised Kakashi-sama--"
"We'll postpone the date."
Sakura turns to look at the door and she sees Kakashi and his worry eyes. Sakura is still healing when Kakashi sits on the chair at Amaya's left hand side. Amaya seems to have a trouble in breathing. She needs to breathe through her mouth the most and sometimes she coughs.
"Look, Amaya. We caught the guy. He said something about being paid to kill you, because of someone's hatred on your family. I think you better ask your family for details later. And about the attack, even though his attack doesn't hit you, however, your attack was the one that attacking you. He used some spell or so and luckily it hits his stomach. Because if it hits anywhere near your lung or heart, you'll be dead on the spot." He says calmly.
Amaya tears slowly fall down but her face is lifeless. She doesn't know what to feel. She looks at Sakura who is healing her. All effort Sakura gives make her feels better but not completely heal.
And suddenly she can feel a finger wiping out her tears. She stuns. Both of her and Sakura can clearly hear his words.
"You didn't know how worried sick i was..."

At the evening, Amaya parents come to the hospital and visit her. Amaya is thinking something when she hear someone calls her name. She turns to see her mother and father and she smiles. Somehow feeling lucky to see them again.
"Kakashi-sama met us this morning." Her father says softly, "gomennasai, Amaya... We almost get you killed. It was our mistake." He says.
"What happened?" Amaya asks, whispering as she doesn't have all strength to be talking.
Both her parents look at each other before her mother explains, "it was before you were born. As you know, we were both ninjas. We did missions a lot. We were given tasks to kill somewhat powerful spells maker named Kimura Takeo. Little did we know, we were supposed to kill all of them because they were making some powerful spells. A counterattack spells. Like what happened to you. The guy who attacked you yesterday wasn't paid, but he was a kid we spared his life and let him go." She says softly and takes her hand. "I'm sorry... If we just did something.... This won't be happening." Her tears fall down.
Amaya hold her hand tighter, "I'm fine... Daijoubu, okaasan.." She cries too, but because of seeing her mother cries.
Besides, Kakashi promised me that he'll do something... She smiles before her eyes are completely shut.

"Are you sure, she's fine?"
Ayame asks, looking at her best friend. Her tears are still in the corner of her eyes. Sakura pat her shoulder.
"Daijoubu nee-chan. Amaya-san will be just fine. With that Kakashi-sensei's order, no doctors will leave the hospital until she can finally move." Sakura chuckles.
Ayame smiles, "Kakashi-sama is really exaggerating things, isn't he?"
"Kakashi-sensei never really asks something serious from us. He only wants Amaya-san to be healthy again. Amaya-san is his childhood friend, so he doesn't want to feel that feeling of losing a friend again." Sakura says softly, "or so he say." She smiles with a meaning.
Luckily Ayame understands her and nods her head. She hold Amaya's hand, "get well soon and come to eat ramen again, okay?" She says softly.

Kakashi looks around. This scene looks familiar. He walks a few meters further. He looks around and somehow, his heart is beating faster than it usual does. He stops when he see the memory he wished to vanish.
There is him, a much younger version of him, having chidori rip apart Rin's heart. His breathing becomes even harder when he had to look at those memory again.
"Kakashi..."
Now he is at another scene. A place which he recognize at the very moment he arrives. The memorial park. He looks around and see Amaya walks out from the park, having a guy who was trying to kill her and the final scene, Amaya fall to the ground. He sees someone running.
"Amaya!!"
Oh, it's himself. He looks at Amaya who is barely look at him.
"Kakashi...."
He open his eyes. He looks around and he sighs relief when he knows that he is in his office. Why? Why does Rin and Amaya both come to his dream?
He leans against the back of the chair, closing his eyes. His chest moving fast. He tries to breathe in deeply before exhaling softly.
Unconsciously,
"Amaya..."
