*****************
I wandered in i half awake state for what seemed to be ages, and was once again rewarded with a bright light for my eyes as I woke up and tried to look around. There was no smell of grass or birds chirping happily, but still there were noises and smells....
I knew them but could not place them. Suddenly there were voices nearby, it sounded like...could it be japanese? My mind began to swirl with thoughts of that, had really seen ANBU? Was it really japanese these people were talking? And where the hell am I?
I tried to lift my arms but couldn't move them, I so bad wanted to rub my eyes! Someone obviously tied me down bed. My legs were in the very same situation and I started to think that they were kind of hostile. I mean, I....a threat? No way! I hadn't done anything!
I actually started to panic a bit, this was all so confusing! How could anyone be speaking japanese here? Weren't I in my home country anymore?
As footsteps approached I tried to calm down, breathing in and out, in and out.
They suddenly stopped close to the bed I was lying in, a voice spoke something I didn't understand at all since it was japanese. But I knew that if I wanted to live longenopugh to find out what happened to me I needed to make contact and act friendly, although I still couldn't get how they thought I was a threat from the beginning....
So, I opened my eyes with much effort and realized I was in hospital, or at least it seemed to be that way. As it hurt my eyes to have them open i the broad light they started to fill with tears and thankfully the person seemed to understand that and went to turn down the light. The pressure eased and I could see normally when the next chock came.
In my head I stammered the words that was suppose to make out a sentence, but it only screwed up. My mouth opened and I tried to speak properly with a malfunctioning brain.
“T..Tsss....Tsssun....Tsssun...ade-sa...ma?!” That “sama” just slipped my tongue.
And the woman before me wrinkeled an eyebrow at me. I wondered if she even understood me, my prunaciation maybe wasn't that good, I only knew very little japanese, a few words and phrases, that's all. She seemed to think what to do with me next and decided to untie me. I didn't move while she did it, and made slow motions as I reached to rub myhead.
My throat felt immensly dry at sudden, my head tried work out how to make her understand that. I pointed down my mouth and said:
“Umi..... “I knew it might not make sense saying sea and shove a finger down your throat but it was the best I could do and once again she seemed grasp the mening behind my single word and the poor action. She went out and returned with a glass of water giving it to me.
“Arigatou... “ I mumbled my appreciation to her. Although I could not see it the hokage of Konoha smiled at me as I let the lovely water trickle down my throat, wetting the walls and making me able to speak more freely.
“Arigatou!” I said once again bowing my head slightly.
“Dou itashimashite”, she replied and I managed to crack a small smile to her as gave back the empty glass. She put it down on a small table beside the bed looked at me.
She started talking to me and gesturing, I bend closer to hear what she was saying, as I did that, she slowed down her pace and I got the word nihon out of it, and by the questioning look on her face I assumed she ment if I could speak japanese. I sqeezed my indexfinger and thumb togehter making it a gesture that knew very little. She nodded, pleased with the answear and gestured for me to sleep.
“Hai! Watashi mukiryoku.....” I knew that probably wasn't correct at all but she nodded again smiling. She turned around and was about leave, and I felt I needed to say something.
“Tsunade-sama!” She looked over her shoulder at me.
“Ano?”
“Douzo yoroshiku”, I said smiling. She smiled and replied then wnet out the door and closed it behind her.
I just couldn't believe that I, little me, had been talking to Tsunade!? It was madness! And sure I had been nervous and all but still I managed to talk that much without stumbling over my words and actually finding the words in my braindead head! Heh! A rime, funny, ain't I?
I lied down and thought about the past events until I drifted off to sleep, thinking that this bed was much more warmer and cosy than that grass and mud. A last sigh and sleep and dreams took over my already crazy world.
