Her eyes were heavy.

'Sasuke…wake up already.' She thought.

'I don't even know how long it's been…'

She closed her eyes.

'Sasuke…Am I right?' ..

'"I guess…you…just became a little more important then expected."'

'Do…you like me…?'

She gasped, lifting her head and looking to the side.

"Only a squirrel." She sighed. She through a kunai quickly.

'Why…who would put a paper bomb on it?!' She thought.

"Hmm...!"

"!"

She turned to Sasuke. Taking off the cloth. 'He sill has a fever…' She thought with her hand on his forehead.

'Sasuke…'
"Who's there?!" She yelled.

She breathed heavy.

"Geez…" She mumbled. "Why am I so paranoid…?"

"Don't worry…it's not you…" A voice said. "!" She turned to see a boy with tape all over his body.

"Don't be scared…we're only here for Sasuke…" He said.

"What?!" She yelled.

"Orochimaru sent us; we must get Sasuke at all costs."

"…Why?" She inquired.

"Can we stop with the chit-chat and get him already?!" One said in an annoyed tone.

"Hey I'm Zaku, now, either hand Sasuke over or fight!" She stood up clenching her fist.

"I'll fight."

'Sasuke…'

'"You've become more important then I thought…"'

'So have you….'
