Surprise, surprise! Hi guys!
I have a new story for you and I sincerely hope you'll like it, 'cause I'm proud of my new baby! And I apologize before hand for the mistakes and grammar; I'm doing my best and I promise to always strive to improve myself!
As for my magnificent reviewers who were expecting a sequel to We'll be there for you, I'm sorry but I won't be able to do it. In fact, I'm not having enough material to come up with a decent sequel. But! I have enough to make an epilogue, so, if that's what you want, tell me about it and we'll see.
Enjoy! xxxx
P.S. I don't owe Naruto or any of the characters created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Chapter 1 – The discovery
.
.
"Sooooo… What happened to you exactly?" begin Sakura as she poke the boy's rib cage.
"Hn." came the simple answer.
"That's not what I ask." repeat the girl as she back away clearly annoyed.
"Sigh, that's the Dobe's fault." finally answered Sasuke as he look away in anger.
"Huh!"
"Stop doing that, it's annoying." replied the Uchiha at the incomprehensive girl.
"So you're telling me that the oh so great Uchiha got beaten to a bloody pulp by the oh so infamous Uzumaki?" teased the pink haireded girl as she do a cheap imitation of him and Naruto.
"You know what? I'm out of here." said Sasuke, pissed off, as he clumsily stand up and limply walk toward the door.
"No Sasuke wait. Please. I was just kidding." spoke Sakura as she ran after him and hold his good arm.
"Tch." growled the boy as he let himself being push toward the examination table.
"Come on. Sit here. I'll check those wounds. I promise. No talking." tried to reassure the girl as she helps him sit.
And as promised, as soon as the boy had sat himself on the table, Sakura begin to work her magic on him. Mending the wounds and repairing his broken wrist, the pink haired girl concentrate her gaze on the injuries as Sasuke stared intently at her. As she end the technique and turn around, the dark-haired boy realised what he was doing, and immediately look elsewhere, blushing. Suddenly, the girl throw a cold clothe on his face and start rubbing it strongly.
"WhaF the hE-LL?" mumbled the boy under the tenacious clothed hand of the girl.
"You're dirty like a hermit locked up for ten years. I'm just shining you up before you leave." explained Sakura as she threw the dirty clothe away.
"I can do that on my own!" complained the Uchiha as he pushes his wet bangs out of his face.
"Now… Was it that bad?" asked the pink haired girl clearly making fun of him.
"I hate you so much." spoke Sasuke as he gave her his best glare.
"I do too. Now leave before I ask someone to come and give you a bath." replied Sakura as she gave him her cutest smile in response.
"Damn woman one day I swear…" growled Sasuke as he stand up and walk toward the door.
"You swear what Uchiha?" asked the pink haired girl in a threatening tone.
"Nothing." immediately answered the dark-haired boy as he turns around to look at the girl.
"Good! That's how I like it. Bye sexy!" said Sakura as she blows a kiss toward him before turning back to her file.
At this Sasuke look at the girl strangely as another blush start creeping up his neck. That girl was a mystery to him. It was impossible to understand her. She could be mean and annoying one minute and joyful and crazy in the next. She was a shooting star; never in the same place, never in the same mood. And that's what makes him fall for her. But he would never tell her. They had made too many efforts to have a somewhat normal attitude toward each other for him to come and destroy it with three fatal words. Over the time, he had understood the silent truce. Everything would be fine as long as they never talk about feelings. But despise that, Sasuke could say that they were close friends again. Sure, their relation wasn't as smooth and natural as it was with Naruto, but it was okay; even if it was a bit hypocritical.
"Bye." concluded the boy as he left the room.

On Sasuke's side
.
"You're out of it. IT'S THE DEMON! TAKE HIM BEFORE HE TAKE OVER US!" yelled a man as he tried to pry away from the three ninjas that were holding him down.
"Calm down dude. Miss Haruno will see you in a minute." spoke Kiba as he looks at the three ninjas in exasperation as the man took them down and ran half-naked in the corridor.
"Hello Kiba…" said Sasuke as he close the door and walk in front of the brown-haired boy.
"Hi Sasuke!" greeted the dog boy in a friendly tone.
"What's up?" inquired the Uchiha.
"Oh nothing bad, just a weird guy for Sakura." answered Kiba exasperated by all the commotion.
"Hn?"
"We caught him in the forest yelling like that and running in circles. I don't know for how long he's been doing that but his feet are bleeding and his half burn clothes are literally merging with his skin." explained the boy.
"Damn, that looks painful." replied Sasuke as he glances at the three ninjas who were now wrestling on the ground with the man.
"Yeah." added Kiba when the door behind them open.
"You can get in." spoke Sakura as she looks at the two boys.
"Alright Sakura, bye Sasuke." concluded the brown-haired boy as he helps the ninjas pick up the weird man.
"See ya." said back the Uchiha as he walks out of the hospital.
.
On Sakura'side
.
Pushing the door open, Sakura walk in and prepare her medical table for her next patient. Throwing away the rest of the Uchiha's bloody bandages, she took a medical chart.
"Okay, lay him here." ordered the pink haired girl as she motioned to the group her medical table.
"Easier said than done…" replied Kiba as he tried to lift the man in the air with the rest of the crew.
"Want me to help?" inquired Sakura with a Sasuke-like smirk
"No thanks. I still have my male pride to preserve." answered the brown-haired boy with annoyance, knowing that the petite girl was ten times stronger than them.
"If you say so." said the medic girl with a knowing smile.
Coordinating their efforts, the four boys finally took the man off the ground and lay him on the table. Taking straps under the table, Sakura bind him to it as the four ninjas release the now shrieking man.
"LET ME GO! YOU IDIOTS! THE DEMON IS COMING! HE'LL KILL YOU ALL! THE DEMON! THE DEMON!" yelled the man at the top of his lungs.
"What happened to him?" asked Sakura, curious about him.
"I don't know, we find him like that in the forest." explained the brow haired boy as he scratch the back of his head, not knowing the answer.
Backing away a little, Sakura begin to check her patient with a methodical look. He was a small man, very thin, not too muscular with dark brown hair. His eyes were bloodshot red and he was sweating a lot. His skin was almost translucent and every vein was now dark, almost black, clearly popping out of his body. As she looks further, she easily spots the bleeding feet and the numerous cuts on his body, but that was not the most interesting part. In fact, it was the weird mark that caught her attention. His left leg had a bizarre reddish pattern on the back that start from his left ankle toward his left knee. It was like a floral spiral.
"What's that?" asked Sakura more to herself than anyone else.
"THE DEMON!" yelled the man in pure fear as he pull on his biding.
"Huh! Oh that… I don't know." replied Kiba nonchalantly.
"It's probably a poison related to that mark that made him hallucinate." tried the girl as she looks for his vitals.
Suddenly, the man break the bind on his left wrist and grab the pink haired girl's wrist firmly. Surprised, Sakura tried to pry her arm away, but the force of the man was superior.
"I'M NOT HALLUCINATING! YOU WILL DIE DOCTOR. THIS IS OVER FOR YOU!" yelled the man in a deep voice that wasn't his as his eyes, now completely dark, bored holes into hers.
"Okay that's weird." concluded the pink haired girl as she uses chakra to untangle herself and back away from the man.
"You will calm down we don't tolerate this here." replied one of the ninjas that was accompanying Kiba while going for his free arm.
And as he took hold of the man's arm, the said man breaks all of his binds and threw the ninja on the other side of the room, destroying a wall in its wake. The man then jumped off his bed, as everyone else in the room back away from him. He was looking sinister. His now black eyes had no pupil anymore and his teeth looked more sharpened. He was half standing, his head was hanging low and blood was dripping out of his feet, nose, mouth and eyes. When Kiba slowly move himself in front of Sakura in a sign of protection, the man growled. Then, he start vomiting a black substance on the floor. As the substance touch the floor, it spread around him like a pool. There was at least 35 gallon of that substance at his feet. It was far more than anything Sakura had ever seen. Once done, the man crouch down and look at the quartet intently as bones start spiking out of his spine like a porcupine. Bending down, the man remained still as the skin on his fingers start leaking down on the floor, revealing the bones under.
"He's ready to strike." whispered Sakura.
And as she stops speaking, the creature attacked. The four ninjas avoid the blow that destroy the wall and jumped on the ceiling, gluing their body to it with their chakra. The pink haired girl then took a senbon out of her medical coat and drips it in a little bottle that was hidden in her medic vest before throwing it at the thing on the floor. In less than a second, the man falls flat on the ground. In shock, the group remains silent for a minute, before the Inuzuka got over it.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" asked Kiba as he let go of the breath he was holding.
"I don't know. But you bring me interesting case, that's for sure." replied Sakura trying to control her shaking form.
"Real funny Sakura." said the brown-haired boy in annoyance.
"Do-do you know if it's dead?" asked one of the ninja.
"Normally, it would kill someone right on the spot, but let's just check this out." answered the pink haired girl as she looks at Kiba.
"Are you insane? I'm not going there." spoke the Inuzuka with horror.
"Then I'll go." replied Sakura with confidence despise her shaking appearance.
Jumping on the ground, the young medic slowly approaches the thing and looks at his neck for any signs of pulse. Fortunately there was none.
"He's dead." concluded the girl as she back away.
"Woah man… That was strange." spoke Kiba as he joins her, still not believing what had happened.
"I'll go check on Raylee." said one of the ninja as he walks toward his comrade lying in the debris of wall.
"Alright." replied the other one as he too join him.
"So what do we do now?" asked the brown-haired boy as he nervously kicks the creature.
"We call Tsunade." spoke Sakura with great stress.
"…"
"FAST!" urged the girl as she glances one last time at the creature.
