Sakura and Sasuke came back after a long tiring journey home after defeating Itachi. Sasuke was carrying Sakura bridal style (She almost got killed by Itachi and loss of chakra. Sasuke stood at the gates of Konoha looking down at Sakura's face.
" She looks so innocent," He said to himself.
He walked through the gates and into the village. He went straight to the hospital.
When he got there he shouted, " Sakura needs medical attention now!"
The doctors grabbed a stretcher and rushed her into the emergency room. After about 3 hours in the waiting room the doctor comes out.
He says, " You may go see Sakura now."
" Thank You said Sasuke in a relieved voice.
Inside her very small, but nice room Sakura was sleeping.
" She seems so fragile it is kind of cute."
He walked in and sat in the seat next to her bed. Then he reached out and grabbed Sakura's hand and holds it tight. At that very second Sakura woke up.
" Sasuke why are you holding my hand" she asked curiously.
"No reason" he stated quickly and let her hand drop to the bed.
" What happened to Itachi?" she asked looking a bit confused.
" Don't worry Itachi is dead." He said plainly.
"Really" sighed Sakura with a hint of relief in her tone.
" Of course would I lie to you Sakura?" asked Sasuke
" I don't know, I don't think you lied to me before did you?" questioned Sakura
"Actually I have lied to you twice."
" When?"
"When I said you were annoying."
" So you didn't really mean that Sasuke?" Sakura stated leaving out the – kun. Then all of a sudden she started gasping for breath because of the deep wound in her stomach.
" Sakura are you ok?' asked Sasuke worriedly.
" I got stabbed in the stomach with a kunai remember" whispered Sakura barely auditable as she clutched her stomach.
" Oh yeah I remember that. Are you okay?" he asked again.
" It really hurts, but I'll live," she said.
"Good!" he said
"Sakura"
"Yes Sasuke" she said again leaving out the – kun.
"Why did you step in between Itachi and I, taking the kunai that was meant for me and saved my life when it made you get hurt?"
Sasuke I told you a million times it is because care about you and because I love you more than anything, I would do anything for you even if ti costs me my life."
" I would do anything for you too Sakura even if it costs me my life. I should have told you this before Sakura, I lo… he trailed off when he realized that she was unconscious. He went and got the doctor immediately. He told the doctor that Sakura was stabbed in the stomach.
The doctor said, " I will take care of it, but you have to leave because visiting hours are over."
" But, doctor I want to stay with her."
" Well I'm sorry you can't because rules are rules come back another time."
