Disclaimer for whole story: I own not Naruto or any of it's characters, places, or jutsu. This idea is MINE and is not to be reproduced in any form unless I say so.

Sakura was hard at work, trying to heal an almost dead Sasuke. Sweat was dropping from her brow as she spread her healing chakra over wounds that were defiantly caused by a Rasengan. It is surprising that Naruto did not have as many wounds. The only major wound was caused by Sasuke's chidori, and yet, from the looks of things, it was not at full power. Sakura wiped her head with a cloth, the wounds she could heal were gone. But something was wrong; Sasuke would not wake up. His pupils were not reacting to light stimulus, nor was his body to pain, which meant only one thing: Sasuke was in a coma. 'Tsunade will have to take care of the rest, but for now, Naruto is going to tell me everything that happened.' Sakura made her way to Naruto's room, where he was recuperating. He did not need that much care, since the Kyubi was able to heal virtually any wound on Naruto.

---------------------------------------

Naruto was gradually waking up, even though the demon fox wanted to have a word with Naruto. 'Not now, fox,' Naruto said mentally, 'I have to make sure that Sasuke is ok, and talk to Sakura-chan.' All he got was a low growl. 'Well hurry it up kit, we need to discuss that battle.' He looked up as he heard the door to his room open. Sakura walked in with a very tired expression on her face.

"Ok, Naruto. Now that you are perfectly healthy, why don't you tell me why Sasuke-kun is in a freaking COMA!" She was furious, no, more like REALLY pissed off.

"Sakura-chan, there really is not much to tell. I had found him walking outside of his base camp, he saw me, and we fought, thats all." Sakura knew he was hiding something, she could tell by the look in his eyes.

"Naruto, you almost killed him. And now he is in a coma because of you!" She started to pace around the room, trying to keep her anger in check. Naruto had gotten out of bed, and excused him self so he could change out of the medical gown into his usual orange and black jumpsuit.

"Sakura-chan, I am sorry, but it had to be done," he said. "We were fighting a real battle, kill or be killed. By me using the Rasengan to his lower back, it ended the fight without me actually killing him. I brought him back, just as I promised." Naruto knew that Sakura was going to be pissed off. In truth, he had actually wanted to kill Sasuke. He had insulted not only Naruto and Sakura, but the whole of Konoha by leaving with the snake bastard.

"NO! You did NOT have to turn him into a brain-dead vegetable! The villagers were right, Naruto. You are nothing more than a monster, someone that-" She slapped her hand against her mouth, realizing too late what she had said. "Out of all the people Sakura...I thought you would be the last person to say those words. Goodbye." With that, he stormed past Sakura, tears streaming down his face. 'That is what they all think, that I am nothing more than a monster to them.'

Sakura had not meant to say those things to Naruto...she was pissed and emotionally strained. She tried to follow Naruto out of the room, but it was too late: he was already gone.

'Oh no, what have I done?!'

Hello guys, sorry for the long wait on this story. Now some of you are probably going after you weapons to kill me for making Sakura act like this...but have no fear, this will STILL be a NarutoxSakura pairing...Although it will take a lot of work on Sakura's part to repair the damage she has caused...WARNING TO ALL SASUKE LOVERS: He will NOT be happy in this Fic, I promise you! I have no clue when I might update again, due to GED classes, but I promise that this fiction will NOT die like my previous ones. Till next time, Shini-sama. AKA TheFatAlchemist!
