She looked so small lying on her back covered in more blood than surely was in her body. Blood crusted eye lids opened slowly and a soft groan sounded. Dull emerald eyes looked around and their owner struggled to sit up. Pink hair dyed red by the blood she was covered in lay stiff against her back. She had to remember to cut it someday when she wasn't feeling like shit.
"Ok Sakura. Your teammates are either dead or already gone. You're not dead so either your attackers were killed or gave up." The pinkette rasped. She tested her body and winced as she felt several broken bones. "I have no chakra to heal them with. So unless I luck out and am found by an Anbu patrol from Suna or Konoha, I'm stuck here until I can regain enough chakra to heal myself." Sakura whispered to herself.
The pink haired kunoichi managed to drag herself to a nearby cave with an incredibly soft, sandy floor. That drained what little stamina Sakura had left so she simply curled up on the floor of the cave and lost consciousness once more.
Sakura woke up long enough to use the restroom in the far corner of the cave and take a drink from her canteen before going back to sleep hoping to regain her chakra so she could begin to heal her wounds. As she drifted back off, Sakura wondered why no one from Konoha was looking for her yet. She was several days late for her return she was sure.
Sakura woke up to the sound of rushing water and discovered she had just enough chakra to heal some of her wounds. The pinkette healed the worst of her wounds with as little chakra as she could and slightly healed the lesser ones. She limped toward the sound of the water and smiled when she came upon a spring by chance. Sakura rinsed and refilled her canteens and took a bath to try and get as much of the blood and grime off her as she could. Her pack was thankfully with her so she had clothes to change into. Sakura was in no condition to find wood to cook with nor hunt for food so she ate some of her rations and went back to sleep full and clean.
Sakura woke up again and frowned. "How many days have I been out?" She wondered. She no clue how to tell so she dismissed the question and healed herself a little more. She had no clue she would have company soon.
