I think my heart is going to explode out of all the madness that has been going on recently. During the 36 hour shift, I was sent to the Yamanaka flower shop to pick up some leaves and herbs to remedy some of the symptoms of the patients in the hospital. And I mean people were getting desperate and cranky, I almost got part of my dress ripped off when someone cried out "MISS!!! PLEASE!!! AAAARGH DO SOMETHING!!! IT BURNS!!" and started babbling about how horses were coming out of the ceiling. That is some water problem we're having. I wonder how soon Tsunade-sama is going to fix it..

I received an unpleasant shock when I stepped into the store though. Normally Ino or her dad spring out from behind the counter as soon as those bells chime, but no one came. I called out a few times but it was eerily silent.. I decided to check the back room because something just.. didn't feel right. And that's when I think my heart almost leaped out of my chest. I saw Inoshi lying on the floor, almost unconscious. Checking his pulse, he was still alive but the pulse was struggling. There were no wounds or anything, but possibilities just swam through my brain. Poison? Suffocation? Heart attack, perhaps? I think it was the latter and I called for help, sending for a stretcher immediately.


I began to think of what Ino would think of this and I felt a horrible pang in my chest. I know how close she is with her father and I even wanted to keep this from her because I knew how much it would hurt her. Obviously I couldn't, but the only thing I could do was make sure he was treated first and foremost into the emergency ward.

A few hours later, Ino came rushing into the room and I had to look away. I pretended to be extremely occupied folding the towels and sheets to give Ino some right to privacy. For a fleeting moment, I saw her cry a little. I bit down on my lip and thought, "You don't deserve this, Ino.. Not right now." I decided to leave her alone because I figured just about anyone would want to be alone if their dad was in the hospital like that. He's okay, not in critical condition, but it was a pretty strong heart attack. Everyone is overworking themselves these days..

Also, Tsunade-sama tells me that the herbs we have at the moment don't seem to be working very effectively. People are building up a resistance too quickly and after a while, they have no effect at all. I'm aware that she sent both Naruto and Sasuke on a mission to collect some more, but I overheard her talking to Shizune about sending me on a MISSION. ME!! A MISSION!! I'm totally excited but I shouldn't be assuming things too quickly. For all I know, I might still be stuck with another 36 hour shift but things really seem to be taking a turn for the worse; medicine, a more potent medium, needs to be found. And I'm perfect for the job!! I've been studying this all year! I know every herb, leaf, elixir, everything on the PLANET. I hope she puts her faith in me, I won't let her down!! This time, I can pay everyone back for taking care of me.
