/////////////

It's a lovely day for a mission. You and the rest of team 7 are out and are currently walking along a river bank. You pause and stop to admire some flowers growing along the shore. You think they're cosmos flowers but then aga-

"(Y/n)! Watch out!" You hear Sakura yell and turn around too late to see Naruto laughing and barreling into you.
You fall, yelling, into the stream. The cold water shocks you.
"Naruto!!" You screech jumping out of the freezing water.
"That was NOT COOL. I'm soaked!" You shiver violently in the autumn wind.
"Hey hey! Maybe you should stop zoning out so much then. What if I had been an enemy ninja" he says.
You punch him in the arm.
"Yeah Naruto, not cool" Sakura says coming to your defense.
Naruto pouts and stomps ahead.
You try to wrap yourself tighter in your shirt somehow but you still can't stop shivering.
"Here (y/n)" you feel a warm blanket envelop you and turn to see your sensei.
"T-thanks kak-ashi"
You feel some heat spread to your cheeks and wonder where he'd kept the blanket. He nods, his hand lingering a bit on your shoulder, then jumps back to the front of the group and starts lecturing Naruto about teamwork. You take a moment to stare at him longingly before continuing on.

You knew some people might think it was weird for you to be interested "that sort of way" in your sensei but you were close enough in age that you didn't really think it mattered. Besides you felt more like friends than anything close to teacher - student.

And they say he had been acting lately made you have a small amount of hope he felt the same.

/// time skip to end of day

You were finally home. You plod your wet shoes up the steps into your apartment. The moment inside you shove the wet clothing off and change into dry, warm, pajamas. Then crawl into your warm, dry, safe, wonderful bed.

// next morning

You hear a faint buzzing sound. It sounds distant, like you're hearing it from a club bathroom. You open your eyes and squint, your room immediately too bright for you. You realize it's your alarm that's going off and you weakly press the snooze button.
Sitting up, you feel the blood rush to your head and spots cloud your vision for a few seconds.
What the hell? Why do I feel like I'm dying, you thought.

You meekly walk into your bathroom and pull some medicine out of the cabinet, swallowing it with a shot of cough syrup. Today was an important day of training you couldn't miss it. You'd already missed a day this week and you didn't want to make Kakashi angry.

After shoving down a plate of eggs and waffles you step outside your small apartment and make your way shakily to the training grounds.

When you arrive you see the rest of team 7 already there.

"(Y/n)!!!" Naruto shouts and comes running over to you.
"Jeez you look like death"
"Thanks I feel like it" you reply hoarsely before coughing for a good minute.

"(Y/n) I don't think it's a good idea to train when you're sick" Sakura said appearing by your side.

You give her your classic half smile
"Thank you Sakura but I'm really not that bad, honestly. Besides training is important. Don't mention to Kakashi-sensei that I'm sick, I wouldn't want him to force me to stop"
You were lying. You felt like absolute hell and would want nothing more than to just give up, go back home, and sleep for a week.

"I'm sorry (y/n)" Naruto says sheepishly rubbing the back of his head "this is probably my fault for pushing you into the river yesterday"

"Yeah you jerk" you shove him.

"Good morning students" all three of you turn to see Kakashi standing on a nearby tree branch, book in hand.

"You're late again kakashi-sensei!" Sakura yells.
He shrugs and leaps down.
"Anyway. Today I want you all to practice close hand to hand combat. You won't always be able to rely on weapons or tools so it's important to also practice your raw skills"
The four of you nod.
"Let's see... Sasuke you team up with (y/n) and Sakura you go with Naruto"

Sakura groans and shoots you a death glare. You two were good friends but it didn't stop her from threatening you from dealing with Sasuke.

You and Sasuke go off into a clearing to start the sparing. Of course we had to be sparing today. I can barely stand, how am I supposed to fight. Let alone fight Sasuke.
Sasuke looks at you skeptically.
"Are you sure you want to do this? I'm sure Kakashi-sensei will just let you go home" he asks.
You shake your head and tighten your fists.
"Ninjas have to fight in bad conditions sometimes" you try to reason.
"Okay if you're sure"
You nod again and get into your fighting stance then motion for Sasuke to come at you.

What a mistake that was. You see him run toward you and you try to dodge accordingly but suddenly your center of balance goes haywire and you topple over into Sasukes incoming kick. You feel the breath get knocked out of you and scream as pain stabs through your midsection.
"(Y/n)!" he shouts
you crumple to the ground and start viciously hacking. Your surroundings are blurry and swimming. You hear Sasuke shout something before your vision dims to black.
