The Encounter
Sakura was quietly applying chakra to one of her patients, it a man who was horribly injured on one of his missions on trying to attack zetsus. his chest started to bleed without stopping. His stomach was horribly wounded .she successfully stopped the bleeding. Leaving the chest with a scar, but the man started to cough hoarsely, and after a while he stopped.
She widened her eyes. " please don't.." she mentally cried, please be alive. Please don't die, please.. she knew from someone,from somewhere,would be praying for this man's survival. His children would always go to the end of the gate to see if their father came. He might even have a lover who would be waiting for a letter that wouldn't be sent. She felt her heart breaking at that instant.
At that moment,Shizune arrived with tonton. "sakura." She reassuringly touched her shoulder in pity. Sakura's heart was breaking, "shizune, how many patients so far have we lost?"
The head nurse sighed as she pulled the sheet up on the corpse's face. " 102" she answered carefully, " at least they died as a sacrifice for the good. afterall,this is a war" she then touched her shoulder, "Sakura, you must be feeling tired, go and take a rest while I take care of the rest." At that moment, The Anbus brought out another victim towards the tent. The victim was barely breathing.
"war." Sakura repeated, "sacrifice.." she then stood up and walked outside the tent. "I wish we lived a world without war. I wonder if that's even possible." In every decade,there always seemed to be people who takes opposing sides. She tied her arms across her chest.
She felt a tear trickle down her face .she quickly wiped it. There was no way she was going to show any sign of despair towards her patients. If she does,it might let their hopes down. She thought of her teammates, naruto and sai. "I'm going to get sasuke back to konoha. believe it!" naruto smiled his toothy smile at her, she grinned at that instant. He sure brings us hope. He is a great no less. but he does show his mature sides when it comes to choosing decisions. She then remembered her love, sasuke and she remembered a conversation she and naruto had after they failed their missions on getting him back to the village. Sakura was crying inside the hospital because Sasuke tried to kill her..twice. "naruto," she sniffed. Naruto was laying on the bed. Feeling miserable for the pink haired ninja.
"naruto, what am I going to do?" she cried. It wasn't a new sight to him. She always had that broken shell whenever she thought of showed how much she loved him, it also showed that changing her feelings towards Sasuke seemed impossible. So over the years, Naruto stopped his pursuit on going after her, even though he occasionally asked her on dates. But blindly he realized he just loved being playful.
"sakura.." Then he remembered sakura hugging sasuke in the hospital. and he saw the way sasuke was looking at sakura, something naruto never ever saw him do before. Something that made him go outside and wait. As not to disturb them. Sasuke..you..he wondered at that moment.
"its not what you think, I think sasuke did have feelings for you. Sakura, before he became what he is now."
It was then that he explained it to her. Sakura silently smirked cheerlessly, "he was just trying to make me feel better,sasuke only liked me as a teammate…"and he tried to kill me twice.. I should hate him,dispise him, just what is so special about him anyway? Why can't I be like hinata and not like the rest of the girls. Hinata was much more levelheaded than the rest of the girls. she knows how to pick better guys. She thought of hinata's love for naruto. I guess not everyone's the same. " Naruto's such a fool." She grinned silently. he deserves someone like hinata. I guess hopefully,he will realize it.
Naruto is like a little brother to me. And sai..she then felt a nerve protruding on her forehead, guess some people are better left their own way, he did prove himself a better ninja along the way. But no matter the reason, she still loved sasuke very much, with every fibre of her being.
"no matter what, no matter when. You know I'll always come after you" she heard a soft voice at that instant. It sounded musical and hypnotizing. "even in your dreams and nightmares."
"who is it?" she felt sleepy, as she felt herself drift away towards the voice, outside the tent, it was pretty dark. Even though there were guards at every front. She vaguely wondered why they didn't notice it. She was drawn towards the sound as she walked sluggishly towards the never ending darkness.
