Hinata and a pink haired girl came in to see her the next afternoon. Shizune had never left her side, except to get her water or ramen. She yawned before a smile tugged at her lips. "Hey." Kimiko sighed, knowing Shizune was right. Another day confined to her bed didn't sound so bad right now. "Well I'm glad you two came to see me at any rate."
"Hello." The pink haired girl greeted. "I'm Sakura Haruno."
"Nice to meet you Sakura."
"I'm glad you came by Hinata, I wanted to thank you."
A light blush crept across her cheeks. "What for? I didn't do anything."
"Didn't do anything, you saved my life! That qualifies as more than something." She pulled away her covers and sat up, legs hanging over the side of the bed. "I wish I could repay you some how." She stood a took a few steady steps away from the bed, her legs suddenly feeling like jello she collapsed into Shizune.
"Kimiko still isn't at one hundred percent yet. You need more rest." She said, sitting her back on the bed's edge.
"The whole village is talking about you, so I'd expect a lot more visitors." Sakura said, running a hand through her short hair.
'That doesn't sound very appealing.' "What if the guy sneaks in as a visitor?"
"I don't plan on letting anyone I don't know in." Shizune said, ready to screen visitors. It would be pretty bad to have her recover and then get killed because no one was around.
"I have to go, Kakashi-sensei has us running laps today."
"What for?"
"Naruto pulling a prank on Sasuke. He dyed his hair pink for three days." Sakura left hurriedly, not wanting to add to the punishment for tardiness. Now it was just the three of them.
Hinata looked clearly uncomfortable, even more so when a blonde boy walked in. His eyes were the purest blue imaginable, whisker looking scars carved into his cheeks.
"Hello Hinata-chan." He greeted in a friendly manner, her face turned a dark crimson as she only nodded in response. "I'm Naruto Uzamaki."
She smiled up at him, he seemed nice enough. "I'm Kimiko Ishamatsu."
"I just wanted to stop by and see what all the fuss was about."
"Don't you have extra work to do Naruto?" Shizune asked.
He sighed and started away reluctantly. "Yeah." On his way out he patted Hinata on the back. "Good job Hinata, brave of you."
The Hyuga heiress swayed as if she was going to fall before the black haired jounin steadied her.
"Is she ok?"
"Yeah, it happens all the time when Naruto's around."
