Healing and returning.

When I woke up this morning, my throat and lungs weren't hurting anymore. But my arm was still broken, figured that out when I tried to stand up with that as my supporting arm. Ending up back on the floor.

Using my other arm, I lifted off of the floor, and exited the small hut. It was about twilight at that point, and the rained had stopped.

With one hand, I created a paper flower, and blew it to the wind, petals scattering every and knowing where it was going to end up. Then, it was time to return. I first started walking, holding my arm gingerly, and then I started running, following the petals home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nagato was currently in his office in Ame, working on invading Konoha as usual. I approached the building, noticing that that's where the petals led me... not back to the hideout... Is this what I think home is? I slowed my run to a complete stop as I saw the paper fly into his open window. Does he know that I left the infirmary? I hope not... I looked up at his open window, and then he leaned out over the balcony, a handful of paper petals in his hand.

I felt his eyes grow wide, but I started running again and barely heard someone say, "Konan...?!"

I didn't know where I was going... I wasn't following the petals at this point... I just... I just turned and... I ran...

Before I knew it, I was back to the hut... Why do I always keep coming back here? What does my mind want?! And... why did I run...? It's Nagato... before I knew it, it started raining again... damn... I quickly got back in the hut, fixing any leakage... and waited out the storm...
