The Awakening
Chapter One
Sakura reached for the door handle again for the fifth time that day. She quickly pulled her hand back. 'Why can I do it?' She thought as reached for the handle again. Swollowing the lump in her throat, she grasped the handle with her right hand and turned the knob slowly and pushed the door open softly, "Naruto?" She called softly and quietly afraid of waking him up-and if she was lucky, not waking up Sasuke.
"Sakura?" He grunted from his position. He layed in the hospital with a head of indigo hair positioned on his chest which conected to a a small girls body leaning over the bed and half way situated on the chair that was convenlently located right next to the bed.
"Did I wake you?" She asked in a soft voice as to not to wake up the sleeping girl.
"No I have been awake ever since Hinata fainted." He mumbled as he ran his fingers through her hair.
"Oh...Naruto?" Sakura was unsure weither to ask or just assume.
"I am sorry Sakura...I broke the promise...I couldn't get him to come home-I'm sorry." Naruto said stilling his hand and clenching his other hand.
Sakura walked over to the blinded window, "I k-k-know Naruto-its not your fault-"
"But it is! I let my emotions get the best of me! I wasn't able to save him because I am exactly like Neji says-Weak, useless, fated to lose." Naruto said staring at the girls face.
"No Naruto you are none of those! Naruto you-you I envy you! You've got the one person who loves you for you and I have no one who looks beyond my looks." Sakura said as tears started to form in her eyes causing her vision to blur.
"Hinata? S-she's the one?-" Naruto was cut off.
"Naruto, Hinata's loved you for-I don't know ever since we were first years at the acadamy." Sakura said as she faced Naruto with tears streaming down her face.
"Thats probably the only thing that could-never mind...Sakura your wrong there is some one and you know it! You just won't admit it...Sakura I am not kidding when I say that the "crush" Lee has on you is not just a crush-Sakura he really loves you...Give him a chance and maybe you can live to see another day...Sakura you are probably the only one who can change him, but that doesn't mean that you have to forget and stop loving him-yes I know it was love, with the attention you give Sasuke and how you always forget any one is there and how you are posesive about him-if thats not love then what is? He had the oppertunity to get strong here with friends and family but he threw that all away right when he steped through those gates." Naruto said as he continued with brushing his fingers through Hinata's hair.
Sakura then colasped onto the chair on the oppiste side of the other chair, "Is it true? I just thought it was a simple crush and nothing along the lines of love thats why I regected him because if it was only a crush I didn't want to get hurt if he desided some one was better than me..."
Naruto nodded in understanding. "Although thats the way we love-we love even if the risk is great to take and deal with but with another it doesn't hurt as much any more-although it may never stop hurting even if it lessens the pain and slowly numbing it but it will still be there." Naruto said looking away.
"Sasuke..." Sakura said softly and tearfully.
"I'm sorry Sakura I tried my hardest." Naruto said not looking at her face.
"I know its okay." Sakura said before standing and heading out of the door before he could say any thing, "Get well soon, Goodbye for now Naruto." She said before closing the door behind her.
"Hinata, she's gone." Naruto sadly said as Hinata sat up and huged the boy who was on the verge of tears.
"Naruto-kun every thing will be fine." Hinata tried to comfort him as his tears finally fell from his eyes.
Outside the door Sakura slumped against it as the tears fell faster from her eyes. 'Lee I am so sorry...Its not a full heart but if you will still acept it, I will give it to you.' Getting back up Sakura walked away.
"Naruto-kun it's okay don't worry nothing can happen to us-we will get strong with each other and prove them wrong-AHH" Hinata arched her back as a unbearible pain shot through her the moment Naruto's eyes glazed over and she soon passed out due to the pain.
Chapter One end.
