A pinkhaired medicnin was running away frantically from something.
"No…!" Sakura screamed at the barely conscious body in her arms. "You
can't die, Naruto, you can't! Not when I was going to tell you the most
important thing in my life!" She felt her eyes prickle with tears.
'Naruto...you can't die...not now...'
"Sakura-chan!" She heard a distant voice say. Sakura looked up and saw Rock
Lee jogging his way to her in his green spandex.
Sakura sighed in relief. 'Tsunade did send someone after them...' She
suddenly started feeling weary and tired. Maybe dying wasn't such a bad
idea...Her vision soon became blurry and then her world slowly faded to
black."Sakura-chan!""M...who is it?"
As soon as Sakura opened her eyes, the light blinded her; and for a moment,
all she could see was the purest white and then color came in. She saw Rock
Lee hovering above her, a worried expression on his face.
"Are you ok, Sakura-chan?" As she tried to sit up, she felt a sharp pain in
her side. "You shouldn't try to move. You have a very bed bruise from your
battle," Lee said with a grin, seeing that she was alright. She grimaced and
pondered about what had happened to her. Soon, everything came back to her;and
the more she remembered, the more questions she had. She soon came to a very
important inquiry.
"Where's Naruto-kun?" she asked, panicking at her last conscious moments.
Lee's grin immediately turned into a serious look. "He's not as good as
you are, I can tell you that-"
"TELL ME WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO NARUTO, GODDAMMIT!!" Sakura raged at Lee.
"Ok, well…he's in critical condition right now and we're not sure if he's
going to make it." A tear slid down Sakura's cheek. She wasted no time after
she heard that. She quickly jumped out of bed despite her pain and went to
where she could find Naruto.
"No, Sakura-chan!! You aren't well enough yet! Come back! Where are you
going?!"
'Naruto, you better be okay!' Sakura thought as she hurried to Naruto's
room. 123...Ah, there it is!!'
She hurriedly pushed the door to 204 open and saw something that made her
heart clench painfully. She stared with horror in her eyes at the figure on
the bed, his chest rising and falling slowly. 'No...' she thought as she
ran to the man's side.
There was Naruto. He was bleeding from fire burns. He was almost
unrecognizable if it weren't for his bright yellow spiky hair. Flesh could
be seen everywhere.
"Naruto!!" Sakura cried at her fallen teammate, even though she wanted him to
be so much more. The blonde slowly opened his eyelids to reveal a sickening
pair of yellowtinted eyes. "Sakura-chan...You're alright." He smiled with
relief and gratitude.
This only made Sakura cry even more.
"Why are you crying, Sakura-chan? You're not hurt are you?"
At hearing this, sakura totally lost it.
"YOU IDIOT! Have you realized how delicate your condition is?! I look
perfectly fine compared to you! Why do you worry about me to the point of
stupidity?! And for your information, yes, I am hurting!" Sakura yelled at
Naruto. She quickly grabbed his hand and placed it on her heart. "I'm
hurting right here," Sakura said gently, looking into Naruto's
eyes."Sakura""Sh..." Sakura said, placing a finger on his lips. "Don't
move. This will hurt me more than you, believe me," she said confidently as
she placed her hands on his chest. She slowly started to heal his wounds with
a special jutsu that was only to be used at the most dire of emergencies. It
would, without a doubt, heal the person to the best form humanly possible.
But, there was only one catch:
You die.
