Chapter Four:
Hospital Blues

��

��
�� I quickly
led the two boys through the hospital, not once letting go of Sai�s ear.� Every curious glance by a nurse or doctor I
returned with a polite hello.� Shortly
after the three of us entered his room Kakashi spoke.�� So you must be the new member of the team.� Sai was it?�
It�s nice to meet you.�� He gave a
short wave with his one free hand, not looking up from his book.

�� Thank
you.�� Sai managed to be understandable despite
the bruising he had received.�� I was
actually glad that he was discomforted by his words to me.� Well he wasn�t so much discomforted by his
words as my fists, but it was good to know he learned his lesson.�

�� Hey
Sakura, could you come over here for a sec?��
Huh, why would Kakashi want to me privately?� I made my way over to him.� He leaned in close to me and covered his face
with his book.� �Those two are hurt, did
Naruto�s short temper start a fight or something?�� He thinks Naruto
did that?

I gave a small laugh and tried to
wave him off.� �Oh no, we�re all good
friends, it was nothing really.�� Please
buy it; please buy it, nothing happened nothing at all.

�� Oh, well
that�s good then, every thing is okay then.��
Again I gave a nervous chuckle.

�� I suppose
we should tell him that we failed to bring Sasuke back.� This is going to be hard.� Where do I begin?� I can�t do this, I can�t say it.� �Naruto-� I can�t even look at him, I can�t
look Naruto in the eye and as him to tell Kakashi the truth.

�� Kakashi,
we uh-� Even he couldn�t look Kakashi in the eye..� �We, our mission that is, we didn�t-�

�� Kakashi set
his book down and sighed.� �I�ve already
heard about it from Yamato, about Sasuke and everything.�� He�s as hurt as we are that we couldn�t bring
back the missing quarter of our squad.�

�� We don�t
have a lot of time left.� At this rate,
in just a bit longer he�ll-� Naruto couldn�t even finish his thought.� I�m glad he couldn�t because I�m not sure I
could hold myself together.� �And at the
level he�s at, well he�s too strong for us.�
We don�t stand a chance at bringing him back at the level we�re at
now.� He�s too strong for us.�

�� Well in
that case, all you have to do is become stronger than him, right?�� There goes Kakashi, coming up with ways to
help alleviate our guilt.� He even picked
up his book again.

�� But I was talking with Lady Tsunade, and she
and I agree.� He�s gotten far too strong
far too fast to be normal.� I�m not sure
how he�s done it, be it forbidden jutsus or if Kabuto has been using drugs
throughout his training.� And even with
these books, there�s no way for me to be sure what he�s done to his body.�� Okay, so I lied, I haven�t spoken with Lady
Tsunade about this yet, but I know her and she would agree with me.� Or at least she would support my thoughts on
it.

�� Kakashi
looked at Naruto.� �Well in that case all
you need to do is become stronger than him at a faster rate.�� He returned his gaze to his book and the new
page he had turned to.

�� Yeah but how?�� What
the hell is his plan, we need to get stronger, he has
an idea out with it already!

�� You guys
don�t think I�ve been laying about sleeping all the time have you.� I�ve been thinking, the whole time I�ve been
thinking about our situation, and I�ve come up with something.�� Damnit, why does he have to be so damn
cocky!� Of course I don�t think he�s been
sitting on his ass.� So why doesn�t he
get off his ass and tell us!� �Still, the method I had in mind is best for
someone like Naruto.� Actually, I should
say that it�s more like something only
Naruto can do.� Heh, with this training
Naruto, you might surpass me in a manner of speaking.�� Great, something for Naruto to get stronger,
something only he can do.� I�m going to
get left behind, all alone.� I�m going to
have to sit here and wait until Naruto brings him back.� Or worse, wait for news that he isn�t coming
back.

�Surpass you?� I could surpass you Kakashi?�

�� Yup.�

�� No, I�m not
going to let him do it alone.� If Naruto
gets training, then I�m going to train too.�
I will train my ass off before I let them leave me behind.� I can�t listen to this, it�s too depressing.
�
�� Yo,
Kakashi, how are you doing?�� Huh?� Team Asuma, what are they doing here?

�� Asuma,
you�re supposed to knock first you
know!�� That�s Ino for you, loud and
motherly.

�� Hello.�� Chouji was munching on his favorite bag of
chips and Shikamaru seemed to be disinterested in everything at large.� Seems everyone in Team Asuma was their same
old selves.

�� Well if it
isn�t Naruto and Sakura, did your mission- You, you�re that guy!�� The three of them were staring at Sai.� Ino seemed to be undressing him with her
eyes.� But the boys, they seemed to be
thinking on what would be the best way to kill him.

�� Hello.�� Sai had a smile on his face, and team Asuma
looked like they were going to kill him.�
Shikamaru was already forming hand signs to capture Sai�s shadow with
his own.

�� You were
the guy that attacked us!�� Great, it
seems Sai�s talent for making friends strikes again.� Chouji dropped his bag of chips and started
moving to hit Sai.� �Why?�

�� Oh that, I was just testing Naruto to see how good he was.�� Shikamaru and Chouji seemed to stop their
assault and think it over.

�� Oh that
was all, okay.�

�� My name is
Sai.� You don�t have to bother with my
last name.�� Sai gave a half smile.� Well it looked like a half smile, knowing him, it�s the best smile he can give.

�� Ino pulled
on my arm and directed me to the nearest corner.� �You know Sakura, he�s kinda hot.� And he sortta looks like Sasuke too.� �What is she on?� Sai isn�t hot.� And yeah I guess he sortta looks like Sasuke,
but I wouldn�t really say he did.

�� Well,
yeah, I guess.� But that�s how he looks, he acts completely differently
then Sasuke ever did.� He�s socially clueless.�

�� We moved out
of the corner as Naruto and Shikamaru ended a conversation of
their own.� �You guys can head on
over to Yakiniku Q.� And if everyone from
Team Kakashi wants to come, that�s fine too.��
Chouji seemed overjoyed as this development.

�Ino was even worse.� �I�m in, oh, I think I�ll sit next to Sai
too!�� Great, off the Sasuke bandwagon
and on the Sai train.

�
�I need to speak with Kakashi alone.�
And I�ll take care of the Yakiniku bill too.�� It was a dismissal by Asuma, so I exited the
room.� I watched Ino drag Sai off down
the hall telling him all about herself and realized Naruto wasn�t out of the
room yet.

�� Come on
Naruto, let�s go eat!�� I stood in the
doorway yelling at him and waving him towards me.

Author notes:� Hey
people.� (I�m trying to be politically
correct)� It�s me again, and look I�ve
updated with something the same day I wrote it!�
Okay I�ve had people wonder how I can have both stories caught up in 1-
1 �� chapters, especially when this is at
chapter 4 and A Fine Fine Line is on 11, it�s simple.� This chapter corresponds to chapters 4 and 5
of A Fine Fine Line.� The next chapter
will contain everything from lunch to the end of the night. That means that in
the next chapter after that I will be on the same day as Naruto is in (This is beginning
to sound like time travel and that gives me headaches.)� which is 5 chapters so far.

Response to Reviews:

Naruto-sama:� It makes me happy to hear from you, and even
happier to receive your praise. �Thank you.
