Chapter 4: [Volume I] Waking (4)

She comes to with a start, suddenly, sharp, cold-burning pain forcing her into the waking world – living world – her senses instantly attacked by white light paralyzing even through closed eyelids and herbal scent so strong that, for a moment, she forgets how to breathe. It’s so strong that it gets into her eyes the second she tries opening them, and makes her head spin despite that she still lays flat on her back.

That alone is enough for her to feel alarmed. That alone is enough to scream loudly that something is so very, very wrong.

Then, there’s tightness around her chest, unmistakable and elastic, and blocking some of the pain, but also making breathing difficult – as if it wasn’t painful enough already  - but these are definitely bandages but… Odd. Far from hindering her breath as much as they should, which is unusual itself, and then the fabric isn’t rough but soft instead, like some odd mixture of silk and cotton.

Then, there are steps, and something shuffles, and unmistakable sound of door sliding open, and that forces even more consciousness into her, and more things start feeling wrong with every passing second.

“Uh, miss?” Nurse asks again, and she does look Asian, alright, and the woman is so worried that, if not for the situation and panic rising in her chest alongside pain, she perhaps would feel sorry for scaring her, because it sounded almost genuine. But she was on the very verge of hysteria attack like never before. Last time she checked, she was native to small town near Glasgow, Scotland, UK, and there she lived, and there was absolutely no Japan-themed things, or even Asian people, and Japan itself was so far-

“Uchiha-san?”

The world stops as if those two words were some magical command- And then it rushes forward at the speed of light.

Seconds, and she’s up (and gods, her chest hurts so much), and her legs are so unnaturally short, and her body is so small, and it’s so weird, so off, so plain wrong, and she is by the window before nurse has even time to blink, as she throws it open, and looks around, eyes so wide it appears like they could fall out any second.

Fuck, is the only thing her mind is capable of processing in English.

Fuck, is the only thing she’s capable of thinking at all, anyway.

Fuck, because what she sees is unmistakably Village of the Hidden Leaf.

A hand touches her shoulder, and it feels worried, and she snaps her head and looks at the nurse, pale-faced and wide eyed, and her chest is burning-cold-
