"" "Ha ha. It was just a dream, I'm sticking to it." Admittedly, it bothered me a bit, but I didn't want to tell him. “If you say so.” He shrugged. "Why are you here?" I repeated my question from earlier. "You asked me to. I should also take care of you while Kakashi is not on his feet." Kakashi! "How is he?" I asked fearfully about the answer. “Not very good ... but better than a few days ago.” You could tell it wasn't true. Kakashi had to be just as bad. "K-can I see him?" "That's not a good idea, you have to rest too, after all.", Sasuke said. "But ..." He interrupted me gently: "Better not." "Well ... Is it already clear when I can get out again?" I asked him. He shook his head briefly. "That will probably take a while.You can hardly walk. "" That's not true at all! "Offended, I crossed my arms over my chest." Yes. In addition, you cannot live alone in Kakashi's house and certainly not exercise. ", Sasuke continued." Oh, I don't think that training is that bad. ", I grinned." Sure, you - ... "There was a knock." Come in. "Gaara stepped on the scene:" Hello. "" Uh, hi. "Surprised, I looked at him. Sasuke showed no reaction, not even when Gaara greeted him:" Hey, you all right? " "What are you doing here? "I asked him." I wanted to see how you are. ", he replied." Not good, my head is buzzing, my hands hurt and - ... "Sasuke got up. Did he want to go again?" Sasuke, what are you doing ?! "I shouted. He grabbed Gaara by the neck and pressed him against the wall." Let go of him immediately! "I tried to get up, but I could hardly move since my little trip yesterday ... Suddenly Sasuke's hand started to glow. Gaara's eyes widened and he freed himself from Sasuke's tight grip." Guys, stop it! I'm serious! "I shouted. I ran between the two of them. Sasuke pushed me aside:" That's not Gaara! " "What? "I took a few steps back. Gaara suddenly turned into the red-haired one from the cave." How did you find out? "he asked." You have been nice to me. ", answered Sasuke bluntly. Right, Gaara didn't really like Sasuke ..." Give it to me! "demanded the redhead." Never! "Sasuke looked angry." Exactly! "The two looked at me confused." Sure, it's about me, but my opinion is still unimportant ... "Sasuke and the other turned away from me and continued their fight. Sasuke kicked the redhead in the stomach, so that he spit blood. But he didn't let that scare him away. He attacked Sasuke. Unnoticed, I crept behind the red-haired one. I took all my strength I could muster, jumped from behind on his back and held him Close your eyes. "Leave Sasuke alone! "The redhead tried to shake me off, but I clung to him. Sasuke watched in amusement, then hit the man in the stomach again. Tsunade stormed into the room. I let myself be distracted briefly, so that the man threw me against the wall A short scream came from my mouth. "Sasori! "Tsunade screwed up his eyes." Get out of here. ", she hissed with a contemptuous undertone. The redhead actually disappeared." Caro, are you okay? ", Sasuke asked. Now Tsunade noticed me too:" What did you do? "" Sasuke saved the bum. "I replied. The blonde looked skeptical." Well, I jumped on the man's back so he couldn't attack Sasuke anymore. "I explained." That's right. "he admitted." You shouldn't have done that! "said Tsunade sternly." But I had to help him! "I protested." No, you have to take it easy!", replied Tsunade." As far as I am concerned. "I got up slowly." But if I always have to take it easy, I can never become a ninja. "Tsunade looked at me and smiled. Then she let out a short sigh. She tilted her head." You're reminding me of someone you know ... "" Yes? To whom? "I asked. Tsunade looked out the window. Was I wrong, or did she have tears in her eyes? In any case, she rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand." It doesn't matter. "She left the room. Who did I remind her of ...?" You'd better go back to bed, okay? ", Sasuke's voice penetrated my thoughts." Hm? Yeah, sure ... "I hobbled over to my bed and dropped onto it." Sasuke? " "Yes? "" You're not going now, are you? "I asked him." Wasn't that what I wanted to do? ", he answered me." Good, because I'm scared ... I mean, what if he comes again? ", I pointed out." Then I'll give him hell. ", Sasuke said without hesitation. I laughed for the first time in days." Yes, I can well imagine that. "

The next day came, a Sunday. School would start again tomorrow. Could anyone stay with me at all? "Sasuke?" I whispered. He didn't respond. "Sasuke!" I said louder. He showed no reaction. I nudged him lightly. “Sasuke!” He slapped my hand away drowsy. Then the hard way. "Sasuke, help me!" I screamed in his ear. He opened his eyes wide and turned in all directions. "Nice, you're awake." I greeted him happily. "Never do that again!" He replied sullenly. "Let's see." I grinned. "Can you maybe get Tsunade? I'm bed arrested ..." I asked Sasuke. "Now?" He asked, horrified. “Yeah, sure!” He dropped his head. “I'll be right back.” With these words, he disappeared. A few minutes later Tsunade was standing by my bed: "Are you feeling better?" "A little. I just wanted to ask when I can go home again." I replied. "We will see. But you are not allowed to live alone in the house either way.", Said the Hokage. "Maybe, but I don't feel like just lying around in bed anymore." I nagged. "I never thought I'd say that, but ... Can I go back to school tomorrow?" Tsunade looked astonished. "We'll see it tomorrow. The most important thing is that you get well again." "But I don't want to be here alone. What if one of the dull cheeks comes back? Even if I throw myself on his back, I have I don't stand a chance. "I argued. Sasuke raised his eyebrows, according to the motto, "What you just said was totally pointless." .. Tsunade was annoyed: "You can say what you want, I can't promise you anything!" I mumbled. "What else I wanted to ask ... can I go to Kakashi? I just want to see him for a moment." "That's not a good idea," whispered Tsunade."And why not? Because I can't get up? He's my brother!" I said, a little louder than usual. "No, I don't know if you really want to see him ..." Tsunade looked me in the eye. "What about him?" I asked almost flatly. “Come with me.” Tsunade put crutches in my hand and ran ahead. In all honesty, I felt like a cripple with the crutches, especially because Sasuke had to support me. The Hokage stopped in front of a door. I hobbled into the room where Kakashi was lying in a bed, connected to a lot of hoses. He didn't move an inch. "He had to be put into an artificial coma," said Tsunade, behind me. I took a deep breath and stumbled on Kakashi's bed. I dropped the crutches on the floor and sat on the edge of the bed. I clenched my teeth hard and swallowed the tears that welled up in me. No, I wouldn't cry again and especially not in front of Kakashi! He shouldn't think I'm a weak little brat. I slowly got up again. "I'll finish them! I promise!"
