Chapter 3

END OF SHIHO POV

It's a nice shiny morning when Shiho wake up, she yawned in her bed then rubbed her eyes, "Huh? morning already? time goes too fast"

Suddenly Sakura came in and write something in the paper she brought;

"Well your condition is good Shiho, you may leave this evening," Sakura said happily, much to Shiho's delight, "Have breakfast yet?"

"No I haven't eat any, not really in the mood"

"Alright then someone will bring the food soon," Sakura said then leave the room hastily, she has to check the condition of other patients

"Sigh it really must have been very tiring for her to be a medic-nin in this kind of situation" Shiho told herself

She walked to the window and saw many children are playing near the hospital, 'even after the attack that crushed the village, they still laugh and acting all happy, it must be fun to be them hey dad, did you know that I miss you? take care there'

When she's already out from the hospital she just wandering around the village, really don't know what to do, watching peoples rebuilding the village, the attack really is messed the village up

"It's fun to walk around the village, isn't it?" she thought, "I spent too much time in the laboratory"

Thinking about the laboratory reminds her of her house, then she walked to the direction of her house

When she finally there she saw that her house's condition isn't really that bad...probably because her house (as the Konoha research laboratory too) is near the forest and quite far from the village so the attack doesn't reached there, but that also means that her house isn't going to be rebuilded soon

"Looks like I have to live in a mess, or rebuild it myself" she told herself. Then she started to check every rooms in the house, it makes her feel the pain in her heart again when she remembered her father died there. She cleaned the house all by herself since it's hadn't been blown up back then, but the underground laboratory is sealed so she just cleaned the upper level of the house.

Even there's no great damage in the house's construction, cleaned them all just by one person is exhausting and it's already night when she realized she's hungry. She walked to a small temporary ramen place, but before even the ramen is ready yet, she fell asleep in the counter

"Need sleep..." was her last words before she fell asleep

SHIHO POV

"I don't know that you could sleep anywhere, hahaha" someone laughed at her

That voice. That gorgeous voice. I think Im still in the dream land to hear that voice, the last thing I remembered I was in my house cleaning all the mess, but then I feel a touch on my right arm

"Hey, wake up! You have to eat first, your body is bit cold you may caught a fever" someone said, someone with his voice

"Huh?" I answered, I opened my eyes slowly then I saw green everywhere but it looked blur. Oh yeah, my glasses, where do I put it? I can't see without it. poor me

"Here" he gives me my glasses, when I already see everything clearly, I noticed that I was in green tent, a big one, then I see the boy that talking in front of me. He was...Shikamaru. Crap. Why is he even here? Oh Kami what should I do?

"Wake up already?" he smiled

"WAAAAHHH! WHY ARE YOU HERE? DONT YOU SEE THAT IM SLEEPING?" I can't help myself from blushing when I see him with that smile

"What the fuck? shut up before everyone wake up!" he said, "this is my tent Shiho, and you really should thanking me for bring you here, you were sleeping at the Ramen stand and I thought as your friend, it's best to bring you here"

"Oh..." I said, well I remember it now that I fell asleep at the Ramen stand. And knowing that he helps me makes me wanna hug him right there. It takes so much powers to make myself didn't do that

"Hey you really need to eat, you haven't have your dinner are you?" he asked

"Actually I didn't have my lunch, too" I answered innocently. Why did he even care?

"That's it. You to the public kitchen now"

"O-okay" I answered, he looks somewhat scary

When we're on the way I saw that there are many tents and many people there, looks it was a temporary house for the survivors from the attack

"Oh yeah, I don't know where's my mom and what is she doing this late, but she said don't worry, probably she's somewhere with Ino's mom, and my dad is at the Hokage's office, he must be doing so hard that the Hokage isn't there" he said

"Yeah," I agreed him, "by the way where are your age-mates?"

"I don't know either. There are lots of works we have to do, but it makes this place looks live" He told me, I dont know why but he seemed happy, weird

"What about Temari?" I dont really wanna know the answer, actually

"At the Hokage's office. She must been very busy now, but I think she'll be here soon" He answered while looking towards the direction of the new Hokage's office

"Oh" was my only answer, "Oh yeah, what time is it?"

"11pm, why?"

"Oh my God it's so late! I've gotta go back to my house" I answered, feeling panic

"Wow, calm down, why? can't you stay here for the night?"

"Are you kidding? Im sure there's no tent left and I don't really know people here" I explained

"Huh? then what about sleeping in my tent?"...WHAT? HE'S OFFERING ME WHAT? I really can't help myself from blushing like crazy this time,

"Th..then what about y-you?" I asked, Im sure my voice is shaking

"Hahahaha relax, I could just sleep at Kiba's or Naruto's or somewhere, and you have to be closer to the villagers you know"

"Well..that's just okay then"

"Great! now to the kitchen" He grabbed my arm, well not my hand-but it still makes my heart jumping- and pulled me to the big kitchen that they use together

I think fell asleep at the ramen stand like that wasn't really bad...
