So Tenshi makes it to the prelims and destroys her opponent.

I make my way to the hospital with a bag of dango in my hands brows furrowed in thought. After my match, lee went against Gaara and to anyone who was watching it was quite disturbing. Lee had risked using the lotus while a gate was open, spending more chakra. His attack ended up backfiring as Gaaras sand shell being his last form of defense lessened the damage. Long story short, his leg and arm are badly and I mean badly injured. What's disheartening about the situation is how the medics say that he probably won't be able to be a shinobi ever again...Guy had pleaded me to use my healing powers on lee but his injuries were to severe for me to heal and the healing incantation is only used to bring the person back from the brink of death.

Seeing Guys face made me feel guilty...guilty that I had the power to save his prized joy but I wasn't even strong enough yet to use it. Clenching my fists , I mentally vowed to strengthen my healing stage within the month I have till the final exam. Earlier I had visited Hinata to make sure the Hyuga was alright. She wasn't to banged up like Lee but it took everything it had in me not to hunt Neji for what he had done to her.

"N-no Ten-Chan I'm alright really!"

"How can you be so forgiving? The bastard nearly killed you."

"I-I know but please find it in your heart to forgive Neji-San...H-he's had a hard life, you've seen how the main branch treats him..."

"Still doesn't give him the right to take it out on you. I won't touch him besides Your boyfriends gonna be the one to kick his ass."

"B-boyfriend?! N-naruto-kun is-"

"Who said anything about Naruto?"

I mentally snicker at the memory of Hinata fainting at her slip up as I reached the hospital. FiI  ask the receptionist where Lee's room was. "232!" The nurse chirped as I mumbled a brief thanks and sauntered off.

Making my way to 232, I sense a malicious presence ahead. That's strange...Approaching the room, my fingers graze the knob before my eyes widen in recognition of that chakra. I barge into the room, taking in the scene before me.

"Gaara?!" I bark with shocked eye.

Standing in front of lees bed sand levitating behind him was Gaara. I look to the side and see Naruto and Shikamaru frightened at what the unstable boy would do. Before I had the chance to stop gaaras sand from attacking Naruto and Lee, Guy appears making Gaara pause and grasp his head in pain. I frown at the jinchuriki at loss for words. He was about to kill Lee...

He soon straightens up, the tension still thick in the room as he walks past us towards the door. My frown deepens as he threatens to kill us. I decide to glance over my shoulder, fuchsia eyes clashing with teal.

"You should go." I insist sharply. He continues to stare darkly into my eyes but my own held no malice or fear. A brief flash of annoyance crosses his hues before he turns and leaves without a word. It seems a breath I didn't know I was holding slipped past my lips as looked towards Naruto and Shikamaru. "Did he hurt you or lee?" I asked calmly.

They both shook their heads making my shoulders relax. Geez why are all my acquaintances becoming enemies.

"First Neji tried to kill Hinata and now Gaaras trying to kill Lee." I sigh in exasperation. Guy who had taken post beside Lees bed casted me a brief look of apology. "Gomen for Neji-San, what he did to your friend was out of character and unyouthful."
