Chapter 27. Saved

Chapter 27. Saved

Maki’s P.O.V.

Bright lights, which could only mean one thing. I was in a hospital.

More importantly, I was alive.

I’m alive.

I should be dead. I want to be dead.

Who would be cruel enough to save me?

I was laying down in a comfortable bed, in a not so comfortable position. My body was straight, hands beside me. I was stiff and groaned when I tried to move.

I looked around and noticed that the room I was in did not appear to be a hospital room. Well, unless the Konoha hospital upgraded since the last time I was there, which wasn’t too long ago. My bed was an actual bed, not a hospital cot. And the room was dark red in color. The dull yellow light shined in one corner, lighting up the room a bit but giving it a hint of mysterious glow as well.

 “What is your name, child.” A voice asks me from the corner.

Startled, I jumped out of the bed into a fighting position. At least, I tried to.

The second I moved myself an inch, Sharp pains jolted throughout my entire body.

So what I actually accomplished was an embarrassing scream from the sudden hurting.- And a painful face plant with the cold tile flooring.

“What..what was that?” I whispered, an unintentional tear making its way down my face. I was unable to move without a horrible pain invading my body, so I stayed still.. vulnerable.

“Do not move. I saved you just in time, but your body is paying the price right now for that jutsu you managed to pull off. Now, what is your name?” He asked again.

Seeing my position right now, I answered.

“Maki Hatake.”

“Hatake, huh?”

“You know my family?” I asked.

“I am not aquainted, but I have heard a thing or two of the name Hatake. My name is Yahiko.”

“Why did you save me, Yahiko-San? I wanted to die.” I said bitterly.

“Then your mistake was telling me that. I will not let you die.”

“Why do you care if I die?” I grumbled.

“I believe that no one should take their own life. Life is a gift… precious. It should be cherished. It is not something you realize till someone precious to you is taken from you. And everyone has someone precious to them, do they not?”  He asked.

“But I deserve to die. I’m not good enough to live. There’s no point in my life if I cannot protect the people I care about. And I can’t.”

Yahiko-San shook his head. “You think you are not good enough to live. You cannot see what others can. If you do not think that you are good enough, make a point to get better, do not take your life for some worthless reason.”

“hmph”

He sighed. “I see I cannot get through to you now, but maybe… in time. I will be back with your treatment.”

He walked out of the dark lit room, leaving me by myself.

I tried to lift my arm, but it felt as if a strong force was pushing against my will and keeping it down. And when I finally moved it an inch, the sharp pain invaded my body once again, bringing tears to my eyes.

The door opened and Yahiko walked in again, this time with supplies.

“I’ve brought something to ease your pain.” He said, putting something in my mouth.

“Chew.” He ordered.

I gagged a little. The taste wasn’t what you’d call pleasant.

“This is a paste my friend made from medical herbs. She said it will ease the pain caused by muscular exhaustion, so you’ll be on your feet sooner.” He said, rubbing the paste over my legs and arms.

I felt impolite for not giving him my meer thanks, but I was too upset to talk. I just stared at the ceiling and ignored him.

I didn’t want to get better, I already told him. But maybe… maybe once I had gotten better, I could deceive him into thinking that I thought he was right. Then I could make a plan to end all this pain.

“Thank you, Yahiko-San.” I forced myself to say.

He gave me a small smile. “You should thank my friend, Konan.”

I nodded. “I intend to, as soon as I can walk. Which will be…”

“Not any time soon.” He said strictly.

I sighed. I’ll find a way. I heal pretty fast, shouldn’t be too long.

I HATE being on bedrest. It’s horrible! Not being able to move. I was never able to stay still. And what about my training! I’m so out of shape. Well, I suppose training doesn’t matter if I don’t live much longer… And i don't intend to.

It’s been a day. I could feel my muscles healing and the paste helps well. I can feel it. Soon I’ll be on my feet. I’ll be able to escape and end the misery.

A/N - I suck. I'm a horrible human being. I BLAME SCHOOL, YOU SHOULD TOO. IT CAUSES WRITER'S BLOCK AND ALLOWS NO TIME TO WRITE.  Therefore. we should all have a petition. A petition to end education, woohoo! 

No, no. that would be bad. No school would be bad. We'd all be uneducationed morons with no lives! No offense, i speak the truth. And i'm just being a biased writer.

Well anyways, sorry for the extra long wait and the short chapter! I feel HORRIBLE about it, so i shall try extra extra hard to update soon and especially on the breaks.
