Chapter 2: Sakura's Wish
Sakura through kunai as Asuma had demonstrated with it flat against her palm instead of between her fingers. It gave more control but ultimately it felt awkward than just normally trying it. 'I don't care about any of this stuff I just want to go see Sasuke. I hope he'll open the door this time…' A small grimace flashed across her face as she threw the kunai and missed her target as Asuma announced the end of class. The rest of the day passed unbearably slow, even her favorite class- Medical Ninjutsu with Tsunade.
As the day ended she ignored Naruto and rushed to Sasuke's apartment but when she saw his door sadness swept over her heart. She approached Sasuke's door slowly because the last time she was here he rejected her. She slowly raised her fist and gently knocked on the door, "Sasuke?" she called for him. No answer. "Are you there?" again no answer. "I'm coming in okay," she said as she pushed against the door slowly, it was locked.
"Sa-" she heard him wheeze out her heart went into panic mode and she pushed harder on the door which slowly budged open, the door wasn't locked it was being held back, she pushed the door open just enough to squeeze in her small body, half way through she turned her head and saw Sasuke. It was dark but the little bit of light that shined in from the door showed a gleam on a knife laying beside him and what she could only presume as blood painting his arms as he lay on the floor.
"No, don't look! Leave me alone!" he screamed and grasped his wrist.
"Sasuke, you need help," Sakura said as she ran over to him and dropped to her knees. It wasn't hard for her to move his hand away from his wrist, he was weak and pale, he must have been bleeding like this for a while. She held up his arm and he winced as she covered the cut with her right hand and healed him, thanking Tsunade in her head as she healed him.
He struggled but he was too weak, after a moment of frustration he passed out from the amount of blood he'd lost.
Sakura healed his cuts as best she could and picked him up off the floor and kicked the bookshelf out from in front of the door and ran out to the hospital.
She ran as fast as she could, he felt so light in her arms. So light she could tell he hasn't been eating. 'This is all my fault, I should have been there more, I should have checked on him more, I shouldn't have left him alone!' Tears flew down her face as she ran into the emergency room, "Help him, please!"
He was limp in her arms, his body was lifeless as they put him on a stroller. He was so pale and cold, he looked dead, "Don't die on me Sasuke, please don't die I beg you!" she yelled as he was rushed away from here.
She was left there standing alone, she hoped that wouldn't be forever.
