Summary:

Watching, talking, listening, touching her. Will Sasuke Uchiha ever understand Haruno Sakura?

Intro:

She walked down the empty hallways of the hospital. It was around midnight and the patients were all sleeping. Sakura's long pink hair swayed against her hips as she walked. This was her favorite time of the day, the calming quiet, night sky. Her ears picked up on the sound of thunder while the rain smashed down against the window she was now passing. Sakura's heels made a small clicking noise against the tiled hallway as she made her way over to the large window. Lighting hit and the light filled a small section of the hallway but it also, in the few seconds exposed Sakura's beautiful face that had grown over the few years. She put her hand against the window to fill the chilling cold glass against her palm. It made her shiver slightly and she took her hand away. Sakura loved the rain, no matter how hard it fell, it was refreshing and beautiful to her. How nature worked in mysterious ways. She stepped away from the window and kept walking down the hallway. A small crying started to fill the quiet hallway and Sakura quickly made her way over to the opened door room where a small boy was sitting on the bed crying.

"Ash, what's wrong?"

Sakura ran over to him and picked the small boy up in her arms. She already knew the reason why he was afraid of the roaring thunder and Ash latched onto Sakura.

"It's so loud."

"That doesn't mean you have to be afraid Ash."

"But I can't get to sleep, I-I don't want to be alone."

"I wont leave you, would you like to watch the sky with me?"

Ash shook his head no and hugged Sakura harder as more thunder sounded the sky. Sakura smiled slightly as she stroked the small boys hair. Ash didn't let go of Sakura and he listened to her heartbeat until she started to hum.

A/N: The song is Lillium from Elfen Lied but it's the music box version.

Ash could feel his eyelids start to droop down but he was trying to force himself to stay up. He liked Sakura-chan's company, especially when she came in and played games with him or read a story.

"Sakura!"

Hinata ran into the room blood on her uniform and she tripped over herself. Ash was instantly awake again and he screamed out. Sakura quickly went over to Hinata.

"What's going on?!?"

"Im fine Sakura I-its your needed at the front!"

"Watch him, until he falls back asleep."

Sakura ran out down the hallway past the window as more lighting flashed, she ran past the elevator and went down flights of stairs. As she reached the bottom she slipped on a trail of someone's blood. She on the floor and stared at all the blood now on her and her clothes.

"Sakura we need your help!"

Tsunade yelled and Sakura looked up to see Tsunade covered in blood but also that she was over a males body. Sakura quickly got up only to slip again from the blood so she crawled over to her Hokage and sensei.

"Sakura start healing his chest he's lost too much blood already!"

Sakura did as she was told and her hands started to glow a light pink as her hands went over the man's chest slowly closing his gushing wound. As she kept working making her push out more of her chakra as she fixed his broken arm she looked over to her sensei. Tsunade was working hard on the man's left arm. Well actually she was working on his missing left arm. It was gone at the shoulder and she was quickly trying to stop the blood.

"Where are those damn ABNU!"

Right as Tsunade screamed that they appeared.

"Quickly we need him to be put in under surgery right now, we don't have time to move him or he'll die. Ino get me everything you can from the emergency room."

Ino who said nothing from behind her ABNU mask disappeared to get what her Hokage wanted. Sakura's chakra started to take some of the males making her visible pink chakra turn a blood red as she moved her hand up to his face. That's when she saw him. Sakura froze and she just felt herself staring holding her breath. There he was, the man who stole her heart. The same man who crushed it. Sasuke Uchiha.

"Sakura heal him!"

Sakura snapped back into reality and started to work on Sasuke, a battle starting to rage within her own body. What a bitter sweet reunion.
