"Ouch!", she exclaimed as she get on her feet, she suddenly slip a step and fell back ward, shikimaro teleported and grab her before she could hit the floor.
"Thank for caring, but it off no use", she said.
"Don't say that the world needs you, we all love you, I personally love you, so don't give up on your self that easily", he said.
He sat her down on the bed and fed her a plate of food he had just prepare for syne..
