A/N: Hello all. I don't know how this will come out… but I wrote a little SasuSaku pairing and it may not be the best because well, I don't really know much about them except for their apparent personalities. If I have any mistakes or things that any one wants me to change, please let me know and I'll see what I can do. By the way… Unlike my other fanfiction… I'll probably try on this one.

Murderous Alliance –

"Someone get a medic!"

Everyone was moving so fast… yet, at the same time, they weren't moving at all. Their voices… They were barely audible to me now… I could hardly understand a word. Mumbling… Blurs… What's happening to me? Why can't I move my body? I see that I'm being lifted, but then… why can't I feel their touch? I don't understand… I don't… I… don't…

"She's starting to lose conscious-ness!"

"We need to get her back to the village as soon as possible!"

"HURRY! Her breathing is starting to slow!"

"We're losing her!"

-Flash-

I can see white… I can touch the light…

"We should've been watching her! We should've been there to protect her!" Naruto paced, obviously distressed over the fact that their pink-haired teammate was in the emergency room, currently having surgery.

"We couldn't have known that this was going to happen, Naruto… You need to calm yourself." Sasuke had always been levelheaded. Always. Always the one to think rationally, always the one that you could count on as the leader. There was no mistaking that, of course, he was upset. A little for his pink-haired annoyance, a little for the fact that whoever attacked her did it without him knowing… Did it with him being so close.

'Who could have done this to her…? Who do I know is that stealthy?' Sasuke thought, trying to analyze the situation, but before he could think any deeper, his other annoyance, his blonde-haired teammate, Naruto, had pushed him against the wall, eyes flared.

"How could you tell me to calm down, when Sakura is in there being treated on! That room is for people with SERIOUS injuries ONLY! How dare you tell me to calm down, when the one I care deeply for has fatal injuries! I don't understand how you can just stand there like you have no care in the world!" Naruto panted, eyes brimming with water. He didn't mean to take it out on Sasuke… He didn't mean to yell, but honestly, how COULD he just stand there like nothing?

Sasuke sighed, "Calm yourself," He gritted through his teeth, making his point clear. Naruto released him instantly, but solemnly, and began to pace again like he had been doing for the past couple hours.

Naruto also gritted his teeth unable to hold back his anger. 'Calm yourself' he says… I just… Yelling will not make her better, I know… fighting will NOT make things better, I know, I know! I understand that, but!

He sighed and looked back to the worst room he'd ever seen.

...Sakura…

Naruto stood in front of the white double doors that led to Sakura's treatment. It had been a while since he had seen her. It had been a while since anything. He'd seen many nurses coming in and out of that room, each time with more medical supplies than the next. Just how bad were her injuries? Honestly, the more he thought about it, the more it just made him angry…

Naruto probably would've continued his rant when a nurse stepped out of the room the two boys were currently waiting outside of.

"Naruto… Sasuke…" She bowed.

"How is she?" Naruto asked, before letting her finish.

"It seems… That she's fallen under a deep sleep…" The nurse started.

"A coma," Sasuke said aloud to himself.

Naruto looked devastated.

"Yes… We aren't sure when she'll be waking up, but we're estimating about a week or so. It shouldn't be too long… Ms. Haruno also seems to have undergone some trauma to her head. Mentally. And because of that, she may not be herself when she awakes." The nurse said growing quieter and quieter with each sentence.

The news just kept getting worst and worst.

"What's the good news…?" Naruto asked, hoping to anything that at least there would be some.

"The good news is that… She's alive. And she'll be staying alive for a while longer." The nurse smiled the best smile she could muster. In all actuality, this was her first case. She was under training, you see, and for her to see something this horrible and to know that she'd be dealing with it more than once, hit her harder than steel bricks, but what she hated most about the thought, was that she'd probably have to tell all the families the same thing. And that hurt her most of all.

"I'm sorry, but you can't stay any longer. Visiting hours are over. You'll have to go home." She turned away with that, disappearing into the room where Sakura lay asleep.

A week had slowly come and gone and Sasuke had never returned to Sakura's side at her hospital bed. Why should he? No point in worrying about it.

Naruto on the other hand had been going day after day, staying with her for multiple hours. Supposedly talking to her about the day events and things like that.

Pointless… Sasuke thought. What a waste of time.

Much to everyone's disappointment, however, unlike what the doctors and nurses had announced, Haruno Sakura would not be waking up that week. Anyone close to the strangely natural pink-haired girl, time and time again kept getting their hopes up, only to have them shot back down again. She just wasn't waking up… And there wasn't a damn thing anyone could do about it.

He had to admit, Sasuke was getting a bit worried. A bit… But his pride never allowed him to go and check on how she was doing. Why should he care? She was just a nuisance, anyway. This whole thing was a nuisance. It was irritating and it was getting on his last nerve.

More weeks past and yet still, there was no sign that she was or would be waking up anytime soon. Was their estimation wrong? Were they wrong to say that her coma wouldn't be that long?

Naruto was on his was to see Sakura again… He had paled tremendously over the past month and regrettably, he was slowly coming by to see her less and less. He knew that he shouldn't give up on her so quickly… It had only been a month, after all, but he just had to get her off his mind. It wouldn't be any good to her or the rest of the village if all he did was sulk around like there was no tomorrow. Now that he thought about it… for Sakura… There really wasn't.

He had noticed that many of his friends were slowly trying to move on and of course, Naruto would be the one to cheer everyone up and get everything moving, but inside he just felt like a hypocrite. That didn't matter now. He had decided to be happy for Sakura, so that she wouldn't come back to a place where everyone walked around depressed because of her unconscious-ness. He knew she wouldn't have liked that. She was just caring that way. The way he liked it.

Naruto walked in the hospital casually, no one stopped him from doing as he pleased. The staff knew who he was… They knew why he was there, and they knew where he was going. There was no need to stop him, but when he arrived to Sakura's floor, he was suddenly bombarded with overflowing traffic. Nurses and doctors were traveling in and out of Sakura's hospital room, which they changed, due to no emergency. Naruto was at a bit of a loss at what to say… What's going on? What's wrong with Sakura? He thought.

That last thought hit him with such force, he was completely knocked back. "Sakura!" He shouted out and he pushed his way through reluctant doctors and nurses.

"What's wrong with Sakura? What's going on!" Naruto asked, pulling one of the nurses aside.

"She's woken up, sir. Her heart rate is going crazy and she can't seem to control her breathing."

Naruto dashed off with that, leaving the nurse to stand there dumbfounded by the sudden departure. He was in Sakura's room in no time flat and his heart lurched at the sight.

Sakura was awake alright. And in pain.

She was hooked up to many monitors and coughing wildly in to the helper of the breathing mouth piece-thingy…. He never could get the name of that right. Her left hand was clutching her chest and her right was thrashing around wildly. Tears were flowing from her eyes and for some reason she wouldn't let anyone get close.

"Sakura!" Naruto called, and ran over to her side. "What are you doing, Sakura! They can help you, let them help you!" He begged, his eyes filling with mirth of his own.

Sakura's wild frenzy slowly came to a halt as she sort of recognized the person in front of her.

"Who…?"

With that chance open, the doctors took this as a sign to inject, what Naruto suspected to be something that made you drowsy, seeing as after that, Sakura stopped moving altogether… Her breathing going back to normal.

Her eyes were slightly open and calm as she looked about the room…

"Where am I…?" She started, trying to move her arm, but to no avail.

"You're at the hospital, Sakura… I'm so glad that you're back…" Naruto smiled, fighting from letting tears fall. I'm a man, damn it!

"The hospital…? Back? Was I gone? Where did I go?" Sakura asked, her voice soft and apparently confused.

"Nowhere, Sakura-chan… Nowhere in particular." He kept on smiling. He just couldn't help it. Sakura was awake! Sakura-chan was okay! She's doing fine!

Sakura was still confused and this man before her, wasn't really giving her any answers… and she stared at him awkwardly for a moment but then decided she'd leave it at that. He looked really happy to see her. He was crying for her. And although, she didn't understand why, the feeling of happiness knowing that somebody cared, made her feel so much better.

Unbeknownst to herself, almost everyone cared. And they would all be extremely happy to see her up and going again.

A/N: Hello again... Okay! Please tell me how I did! I know this may seem like a SakuNaru fic,but trust me... It's not. It'd be greatly appreciated if you could review!
