My body felt weak, like I couldn't move.

I opened my eyes to see one of my friends who worked in the medical unit for the ANBU.

"Kairi..?" I whispered.

"Akiara. Thank god." She said as she helped me sit up.

"How long was I out?"

"6 weeks." My eyes widen.

"How's everything? How the hospital?! You guys didn't burn it down did you?" I asked.

"No.. but we've lost many patients. It seems like the poison Orochimaru used on many jounins was deadly."

"Fuck." I said burying my head in my hands. The door opened.

"...onee-chan?" Sakura said, her green eyes widening. She ran in jumping to hug me.

"Ow.. Sakura." I laughed as she hugged me tightly.

"I thought you were going to die.." she whispered, tears streaming down her face. "a-and with Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke-kun in the hospital--"

"Woah, back up. Kakashi and Sasuke are in the hospital?" She nodded, a bouquet of flowers on the table.

"Naruto and Master Jiraya are trying to find Lady Tsunade." My eyes widen.

"Why do the most eventful things happen when I'm gone!" I groan. I throw the covers off myself before standing up.

"Take me to them. Let's see if I can do anything." I mumble.

"You won't be able to." A voice says from the door. I look up and see my blonde haired sensei. A smile forms on my face as I run and hug her.

"Tsuna!" I giggled as she wrapped her arms around me.

"It's nice to see my prodigy student awake and not on the verge of death like someone told me." She laughed.

"Why are you two hugging?! She punched me into the ground the first time we saw each other!" Naruto yelled. I laughed.

"Go rest. Orochimaru used a poison that should've killed you within a couple of seconds. It's probably still in your body and eating up your chakra." She said. I shook my head.

"I want to go see Kakashi and Sasuke." She sighed before nodding.

I smiled before walking towards the rooms, I knew this place like the back of my hand.

I stayed with kakashi who looked surprised to see me, when they left his lips immediately crashed onto mine.

"You're awake.." he whispered.

"Yeah and you fought my best friend." I mumbled.

"Yeah.."

"I should probably explain why Itachi did what he did. I have to or he'll..." I trailed off.

"Why did Itachi do what he did?" He asked.

"He had to... or Danzo would've killed them and he'd rather kill his own family than let some monster kill everyone including Sasuke." I scoffed. "He should've told me sooner. I could've done something's but he had to get his crow to deliver that stupid scroll."

"Hey.. you couldn't have done anything." He comforted.

"Maybe I could've."

"No.."

"Maybe.."

"You know you couldn't." He said before placing a kiss on my lips.

"Oh.. Lord Third knows about us.." I whispered. "Wait, What happened to lord third?"

"He retired and Lady Tsunade is supposed to be the fifth."

"Oh.."

"Also WHAT?" He said making me giggle.

"Apparently your gazes of me made it obvious." I said rolling my eyes. His mask hid his blush as we talked.

I smiled.

Everything was perfect. Everything was normal in Konoha and I want to keep it this way.
