CLING
Naruto © Masashi Kishimoto
I was beaten. Bleeding and bruised. From our fight with Orochimaru and Itachi.
But in the end we won. Bleeding, bruised and aching from amount of stamina and charka we used. Naruto was dragging me towards our pink-haired teammates and I heard her sigh with relief. I pulled myself away from Naruto, trying to attempt to fake toughness in front of her. But when I got to her, I fell and clung to her.
Clinging. That's what I was doing. Still am. I wouldn't let her go even when she was healing me in Konoha. I held onto her in some way, like her hand or her medic's coat, and sometimes her arm or sleeve. It was an amazing feeling, to be free of Itachi and Orochimaru. Emotions that I suppressed were tumbling within me.
When I healed I was given two year probation and an exemption from any and all mission C rank and up and wasn't allowed outside Konoha. So I volunteered at the hospital, to be near Sakura, helping her in whatever way I could, like lifting heavy equipment (enough though her immense strength could handle it). I followed her everywhere like a lost child, since very few people welcomed me back. I stayed with Sakura and when I was forced to, stayed with Naruto when she had go outside of Konoha borders. And I sulked when she was anyway and when she came back for me, I'd complain how Naruto make me eat ramen breakfast, lunch and dinner! Like a little child!!
It was pathetic.
Sakura had gotten hurt in a journey outside Konoha. It was so serious, Sakura couldn't heal herself. I fought to be with her, even knocked out a couple of guards at the entrance at Konoha to get to her. I clung to her body and fed her my charka, to help her wait until help came since I couldn't move her. And she made it.
I asked her to marry me. She said yes. And I clung to her.
THE END
