Battle is easier if you have all your friends with you. Well, lets say that it was easy until I was assigned as a medic in another group. It is so quiet and awkward here. No one knows eachother here, no one associates with one another. Talking here would seem to feel as though it was illegal. They haven't been in a battle since I got there, but that will change soon. An enemy fleet is not to far away now, and steadily approaching. A plan Tsunada gave us, tells us to attack as soon as we see them.
I think I'm slowly loosing it. It feels like I haven't seen life in years when it has only been two months. I feel the need to run out of here to hear someone talk to me, ask me needed questions.
It was only the next day when the fighting began. Death could be found everywhere here. I crave for a breath of life, to show me that I'm still sane. Which it feels like I'm not. My comrades fall one by one. If this keeps up there will be no one left but me. I'm doing my best, throwing the healed back out there to fight. Only to have two more of them come right back into the tent. I can only heal so many people at a time, especially since none of them are telling me what is wrong. It is almost as though they are just giving up. I have sent letters to Shizune saying that more medics would be needed here but the letter was intercepted, countless times. My comrades here are amateurs. Not as talented as Naruto, Kiba, Neji or any of my friends. It feels like someone just picked them up and through them into this hell. They are scared, I can see that, but no one talks about it. I knew what it felt like to be scared. Now, I feel alone, as though there is no one around me but dead bodies for miles on. Like I said before, I need something to make me feel sane. Once an enemy fighter stepped into my medic tent, I blew it. I busted out and began fighting myself. The only way I could save my comrades now was if I fight and take some of the load myself. I already got half down when my last comrade fell. I was alone, but I kept fighting. All I have been for days now were lifeless people, even the alive ones were lifeless. No joy, or happiness.
The fight was over with only me left standing. My hair was stained red from the blood that seemed to have flooded the land. No longer it's original color, along with no shine in my eyes. I sat myself down, leaning my back against a nearby tree. I was tired, of everything. I closed my eyes and when I opened them I felt the chakra of our reinforcements and closed them again.
My friends seemed to be in the two reinforcement groups. One approached from the north and another from the west. They seemed shocked to find no one fighting now.
"Check the medic tent." Kakashi ordered as leader of the group from the North.
"We should start looked for survivors." Neji enforced, leader of the group from the west.
"No survivors in the medic tent." Hinata and Tenten reported.
"No survivors over here." Choji reported from the southern region with Ino and Shino beside him.
"How troublesome." Shikamaru complained.
"Kiba, you and Akamaru start sniffing around." Kakashi ordered.
"On it." "Woof."
"I don't see any survivors here." Lee reported from the west. "I don't think there are any survivors at all."
"We still have to check Lee." Neji told him. Lee nodding as a reply, showing that he understood.
"Woof!" Akamaru barked.
"You got something boy?" Kiba asked, getting another woof from Akamaru.
The dog approached me then and started licking my blood splattered face. I tried pushing the dog away from my face. "Stop Akamaru." I told the dog. He didn't stop and started to tickle my face. "Akamaru. Akamaru, that tickles." I began to smile as Kiba began to apporuch us. I haven't smiled since before my assigned position here.
Akamaru moved away from me to go back to Kiba, making my smile drop back into a frown full of pain and solitude.
Kiba starred at me for awhile, checking me over for any injuries or a sign of breathing. Realizing this without opening my eyes, I gave out of deep breath.
"Akamaru found a survivor." Kiba shouted, Hinata and Tenten then immediately approuched me.
"She doesn't look badly injured." Tenten informed everyone surrounding me.
"Only one survivor?" Neji asked, everyone nodded.
"Check her tag. What is her name?" Kakashi asked.
Hinata looked up at everyone. "It's Sakura."
"Sakura?" Lee asked, Hinata nodded in return.
Kakashi approached me and grasped my arms. "Sakura? Are you alright?"
I coughed, preparing myself to speak. "Yeah, I'm good." I said opening my eyes to him kneeling right in front of me.
He smiled in return and lifted me to my feet. "That's my girl." He said proudly.
I licked my lips as Tenten began to quickly look over me again for any injuries she may have missed.
"Look at your hair!" Ino said. I rolled my eyes. "It isn't even pink anymore! It looks like you have been swimming in red dye."
Exhaustion was approaching me, all I have done for the past few weeks was heal and fight. I leaned against Kakashi who still had his hold on me expecting this.
"It's alright." Kakashi whispered to me. My eyes lids started feeling heavy. "Go to sleep now." My breathing began to steadily slow down. "We are going home." And I fell asleep in his arms.
