My second Naruto fanfic. It's a Naruto/Sakura story.

Naruto, Sakura and Sauske are about eighteen years old. Sauske has returned back to Konoha and team seven is back together.

His Comforting Voice

"Sakura-chan!"

"You idiot! Why did you do that in the first place?!"

"Never mind, it doesn't matter right now."

"It's going to be ok Sakura-chan, just hold on!"

"Kakashi-sensei and Sauske will be here soon, everything is going to be fine!"

"Please... just keep breathing."

"I love you."

Haruno Sakura could hear that voice calling out her name, saying all of these comforting things to her. Trying as best as he could to keep her breathing by his words, and strangely enough it was working in sort of sense.

Of course his words couldn't stitch up and heal the horrid pain filled wound in the middle of her chest, no that still felt horrible. In fact it was worse, each second was more painful than the last, and she could feel her own blood from her own body slipping out into the dark world.

And if Sakura was alone right now, she would of given up. If it meant the pain going away then she would of gladly given up long ago, she wouldn't have no regrets and she would slip into a peaceful sleep knowing she would not wake up. If it meant the pain leaving.

But she wasn't alone, although her vision had got so misty that she had to shut her eyes tight, and the pain blocked out most of her chakra senses. She knew there was someone there. Holding her close to their own body, using their own hands in a desperate and frantic attempt to stop the blood flow. And he used his own comforting voice to calm her down.

Sakura knew who that voice belong to, she had heard it almost everyday since she decided to train as a ninja. That voice was there for her when she surpassed her sensei and took her out to eat ramen. That voice was there for her when she discovered the truth about her feelings for Sauske, and how that voice was there with her while she cried. Saying that she had not wasted most of her life following him around like a dog, saying that there was still someone out there for her to love and she would be loved back. Yes she knew that voice well.

It belong to Uzumaki Naruto.

It was his voice who was keeping her alive.

Her head lay on his chest, and she could hear his fast heart beat. And his arms were wrapped tightly around her, trying his best to stop as much of her blood coming out as he could. His voice said her name over and over again, as well as those other three words.

"I love you."

He had said them before earlier, maybe a day ago. He had said them under his breath, so she wasn't meant to hear them. But she did and it wasn't until a short while ago did she discover she felt the same way too.

Haruno Sakura loved Uzumaki Naruto.

So she didn't regret the actions that had lead them to this moment.

The two of them were on a mission along with Kakashi-sensei and Sauske, a simple C – rank mission. Where they had to travel to the Sand to collect a scroll. Everything was going fine until they were attack by unknown ninjas. It had lead to the team being split up into two groups, Kakashi-sensei and Sauske were sent off fighting three of of the ninjas. And Sakura and Naruto were left to fight the remaining one ninja.

They both fought well against the unknown ninja. Naruto used his 'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu', and Sakura used her superhuman strength. And they knocked out the ninja cold.

They were so filled with pride that they didn't noticed the other ninja hiding in the trees, on the same team as the other. He went right for Naruto, and the two fought each other. Sakura could only watch, fearing the worse when the ninja was beating Naruto.

He had kicked her friend to the ground and took out a sword, ready to stab him in the chest. It was that moment Sakura felt helpless as she had once done years ago. Just only being able to watch the people she cared about most get hurt or killed. She couldn't take it, Naruto was meant to be the next Hokage, he was not meant to die by a surprised attack. The thought of Naruto not being there scared Sakura more than anything, and it was then did she discover she loved him.

Before she or anyone knew it, she was there in front of Naruto. The sword digging deep into her own chest.

She couldn't really recall what happened after that, all she could remember was Naruto's loud and angry scream. And then she felt him pull her into his lap, laying her head on his chest.

Back into the present, Sakura tried to open her eyes to take a good luck at Naruto. If this was her last moments for her then she wanted to take a good luck at the ninja she loved with all her heart. Her eyelids hurt as well, she really had no idea why, but still she managed to open them slowly and he appeared. The sight of him could of made her cry.

Naruto looked down at her with a heart breaking expression, and his face was now soaked in his own tears. He was alive, which made Sakura feel just a little bit better. He wasn't hurt, at least on the outside.

"SAKURA-CHAN!" The blond ninja shouted, and then realised that the volume of his voice. The next time he spoke a little more softer. "You're awake, thank Gods."

She tried to smile, "I could hear your voice." Her statement had given Naruto a smile of his own, quite a big one and Sakura couldn't help but feel a little bit more better.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yeah, it was nice to hear." Sakura wasn't sure if she was making any sense, but she heard Naruto chuckle. So he must of understood what she was saying.

"Just stay with me Sakura-chan. Everything will be ok if you stay with me."

Her eyelids began to drop again and she saw the smile disappearing from his face. But she wanted to give him her word that she would try to keep herself alive, that she needed his help.

Before her eyes shut again, she mutter loud enough for Naruto to hear. "Please keep talking, it helps."

She could hear his voice again, starting to say all of those comforting words to her again.

"I'm here Sakura-chan. You're going to be fine, just please keep breathing. I love you."

She tried her best to hold on to the life she had left.

What did you all think of it? Should I continue with another chapter? I have an idea of what the plot could be like. Or should I keep this as a one shot?
