SAKURA'S POV

As my mind is waking up, I can feel the presence of 2 people in my room. Their voices are so familiar and I want to open my eyes to see them but my body doesn't react to my mind.

"You should go home, Sasuke. It's almost midnight."

"I can't leave them. I need to be with them if something happens."

"You know that I will stay here the whole night and I will call you when there is a change."

"I appreciate it Naruto, but don't you have to be with your wife and son?"

"Hinata understands the situation and since our son is only 2 months old, she can take care of him without my help."

(There is a pause)

"You really should eat something, take a hot shower and go to bed. Otherwise, you would end up in a hospital room as well and I don't want to see my 2 best friends lying in a hospital bed."

I want to thank Naruto for taking care of Sasuke, when I'm not able to do that but the fog closes in again…

When the fog lifts, I hear another conversation, but this time there is a woman.

"Mr. Uchiha, I'm bringing you some towels so that you can take a shower. The blankets for your bed are in this locker."

I can feel her presence near my body, but I can't feel anything of the examination…

"Is there any change?"

"Her heart is stable and her blood pressure is normal."

"But she still is unconscious…"

No, Sasuke I'm not unconscious. I can hear you very clearly, but my body … It's so frustrating that my mind is clear most of the time, while my body just doesn't move. I want to do something, show a sign but I can't…

"Mrs. Uchiha's body is tired of fighting so she needs time to recover. But don't worry, she will wake up when she is ready."

"Ok, thank you."

I hear his voice crack while saying it. I'm sorry Sasuke… I feel his presence on my bed. Oh, Sasuke I want to let you know that I'm conscious, I want to hug you so much…

"Hi babe. It's me again. … Sakura please come back to me. I need you and our child. … The nurse said that it takes time to recover and I do want to give you all the time if that saves our child's and yours life, but I just want some kind of sign to know that you are still with me… I don't want to be alone anymore…"

My heart breaks, hearing his words. I want to hold him in my arms, but my body disobeys and the darkness closes in again.

IN ONE OF THE HIDEOUTS OF OROCHIMARU

"Lord Orochimaru, have you heard the news about Sakura?

"Sakura? No, Kabuto. Why? Is there something that I should know?

"Apparently, she is in a coma."

"Really."

"Yes, one of my informants lives nearby Konoha and the news about her condition has spread really fast."

"That means that Sasuke is in a bad condition, as well."

"Indeed, Lord Orochimaru."

"Do you think what I think, Kabuto?"

"I'm afraid I am, Lord Orochimaru."
