She raises her claw up...

I hear people start to scream. The people holding me down look up with fear in their eyes. "RUN!!" One of them screams and they start retreating into the trees. The women looks around and see what's happening. She smirks and gets up. "I guess you were right!" She jumps up into the trees and starts running. I lay there catching my breath, letting my chest rise and fall. I see the light shining through the trees go away because of a figure standing over me. No, don't.... fall....asleep.....

I wake up in my bed at the inn. I feel light on my face for the window is open. I can feel the breeze coming through it. I then remember everything that happened and take a look at my leg. All patch up from that women. "Some hell of a guard you are." I turn my head and see Gaara standing in the doorway.

"I guess you're better on your own..." I mumble and look down at my hands that I started to fiddle with. "Well, sometimes I am," he walks over and stands beside my bed, "but sometimes company is needed." "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have ran after that scream, I should've just done what I was supposed to and not get distracted." I really am a bad ninja. All this training, I become a jounin, and then I have to have someone save me. Not to mention IM supposed to be protecting HIM. "Well, you were doing what you were trained to do, help those in distress. But I guess in this case no one was actually in distress." He grabs a chair sitting close to my bed and drags it over for him to sit in.

I look back to the window and try to hide my guilt. "Just get over it. I can't have my guard moping around because of some little mistake." Gaara crosses his arms. "I nod and swing my legs of the bed getting ready to get up. I start to push myself up and then I remember my ankle injury and fall back on the bed. "Don't just stand up! You're not invincible." Gaara criticizes. "I'm fine I just did it to quickly!" I mumble getting up again but more slowly. This time I don't fall down but my ankle still doesn't feel any better. I try walking to the other side of the bed where Gaara is. I'm fine except for a couple stumbles.

"Hm" Gaara turns his head away from my direction. "Well anyways, if you think you can walk good by tomorrow we will get back on the road." He begins to stand and walks towards. He holds out his elbow. "For now, you need rest." I sigh now realizing my hunger and grab his elbow for support. He takes me to the couch bed and makes me lay down again. I should be the one looking after him. I think as he puts a blanket over me. "I'm sorry..." I mumble under the blanket as Gaara goes to sit on the couch. "Just sleep." Gaaras hoarse voice says before I drift away.

When I wake up, Gaara is gone. He must've gone back to his room. I get up again but this time it hurts less. Have I healed already? I take a step forward on my good ankle. "So far so good" I say stepping with my bad ankle. I walk toward the small kitchen area, making sure my ankle won't betray me all of a sudden, and attempt to make some kind of food. I see my bag on the floor. Maybe there's some food in there. I end up getting ahead of myself by walking to fast. I stumble over, knocking down a glass bowl that breaks when it hits the floor. I almost scream in pain, but i instead cover my mouth to silence myself.

I uncover my mouth and put my hands over my ankle. The bandages are soaked in blood and falling off. "Damn it!" I say through gritted teeth. I look around the room for where Gaara might have put some bandages. I see a first aid kit on a table by my bed. "To far." I say  frustratingly. Screw, it's better than sitting here.
