A sequel to Sasuke's Wounded Life, this takes place right after Haku "kills" him…
~~~~~~~~~~~
Help me, someone please help me, its hard to breath…
He slipped into a coma and lay on the ground motionless. Everything had happened so quickly, no one knew what to do. Naruto knelt there with a look of vengeance on his face. Haku's life would not last long. But Sasuke was gone, he stopped breathing and lay there on the ground, limp.
What just happened? Its dark, I don't remember anything. Have I died?
Sasuke's soul was now separated from his body and he was staring down at himself.
So, I really am dead…
He saw Naruto fighting Haku and, now able to see out of the ice mirrors, he could see Kakashi protecting Sakura and Mr. Tazuna.
How could this have happened? I should have been the one to take down Haku and protect them. I can't believe I've failed them!
There was a flash of light and suddenly, levitating next to him was King Yama the judge of the dead.
"Come with me." He beckoned.
I didn't know what else to do, so I followed him.
Yama led him to each of the Hells, each one more frightening than the other. There was tortuous events happening in each realm, each more bloody than the last.
Why is he showing me this, why doesn't he just get this over with?
"King Yama, I know I'm dead, there's no hope for me, just tell me where to go and I'll leave."
King Yama began to laugh, everything shook as the deity chuckled. "You, you are not dead, Haku never meant to kill you."
What?! I'm not dead? Then why am I here?
"You are merely stuck in a coma, once you return to your body, you will awaken."
But why did he show me all of this then?
"I have shown you this to strengthen you."
"To strengthen me?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes, by seeing and surviving death, you become fearless and your confidence grows."
"Thank you." Sasuke left the Judge of the dead and returned to his body. Immediately, he felt pain once more.
So heavy, what's wrong with me? Warm tears on my face? Are they mine? No, they can't be.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw a blurry picture.
Sakura?
"Sakura? Am I alive?"
Tears continued to fall down her face as she hugged him.
That's it then, I survived…
"Remember, you survived…"
