Life's Gamble
Sasuke opened his eyes slowly to see Naruto asleep by him. His (Naruto's) arm was wrapped lightly around his stomach. Sasuke linked his fingers with Naruto's and stayed still. It wasn't normal to be in a hospitel this long for Sasuke-he didn't like it. He didn't like not being able to do things for himself, he hated it.

Tsunade turned to see Kakashi and Starr. "About time you got back." She said, standing.
"Sorry it took so long. Oh, and Obito's dead." Kakashi said.
"Who did it?"
Kakashi jerked his head to Starr.
"...Nevermind."
"It's good to see you, Master." Starr said.
Tsunade nodded. "Let's go before I have to hear Naruto scream again."
Starr nodded. "Kakashi already explained, is it true?"
Tsunade nodded.
"Let's go."

Sasuke looked up at Starr as finished with the IV.
"It's for the best." Starr said, seeing Naruto's glance.
The door opened to revile Itachi. "So you really have came." He said.
Starr nodded. "I made the desion and I plan to stay this time."
"Good." Itachi sat next to Naruto.
"I'll be back later to check on him. Itachi, a moment?"
Itachi stood and followed Starr outside the room.
"What is it?" Itachi asked.
"There is a way Sasuke can live and have the child." Starr said.
"How?"
Starr looked down.
"What is it?"
"You can't freak."
"I won't, now what is it?"
"A jusu."
Itachi's eyes flashed with anger. "No."
"Not that one you idiot. I'd never use that one. I mean a jusu I made. It's called the life jusu."
"What is it?"
"As Tsunade and Shizune remove the child, Sasuke sucks on my chakra as life support."
Itachi looked confused.
"The child will be removed at great risk, it's the only way for Sasuke to live." Starr whispered.
Itachi nodded slowly. "So faith what this all goes to isn't it?"
Starr nodded. "A life's gamble, all on a jusu that has to work."
Itachi turned back to the door. "He better live." He walked back in.
"And live he will." Starr murmured, walking down the hall way.
