Laying in her bed, she was surrounded by silence. Her knees were brought up to her chin, as she hugged her pillow. Hugging a pillow always filled up the emptiness she felt. That pillow had been with her trough all the bad times, soaking in the tears she cried. Each time something happened, something made her cry, she'd curl up in her bed and cry, holding onto the pillow. But this time, there were no tears. She ran out of them. she just couldn't cry anymore.

The silence was killing her, suffocating her. She had to wait another twenty-four hours before she goes to him again. That meant one more sleepless night. More staring at the ceiling, rolling around the bed and ruffling the sheets, walking up and down her room, staring at the window and waiting for Sunrise. Then, it meant getting some food, just some so she would have the energy to finish her job, taking a shower and sitting on a couch or some chair until the moment comes. Watching the clock, staring at it as each minute passes, just waiting. It was the same routine over and over, ever since that horrible injury happened.

She closed her eyes, and the flashback started.

Naruto was standing on the battle field in his Bijuu mode. The moment Sakura arrived, Madara had unleashed large fire balls at Naruto. She couldn't do a thing, only watch the fire balls flying towards Naruto and the blonde dodging them. Attacking, punching, dodging.. She stood there and watched as neither could get a clear shot. The information about the enemies was given to them, and everyone knew that the fight was with Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito. Sakura herself, was in shock as the others were, to find out those information, but she also knew that they would all end up fighting in the end. No injuries, until one moment.

Obito used his Rinnengan and injured Kakashi. The silver haired male was laying down, blood splashing everywhere and Naruto ran towards his sensei. That one moment of not paying attention, costed Naruto everything, and almost, his life. His chest was pierced. His eyes opened widely and his eyes met with the emerald eyes of the pinkette. That eye contact pierced Sakura's heart. With tears running down her cheeks, she ran towards Naruto. Somehow, she managed to take a hold of Naruto and pull him away before another attack of the black haired male. Knowing she didn't have much time, she had to distract the male for a little, so she could aid Naruto's wound. She wasn't aware of how serious it was, she wasn't sure if Naruto was still breathing. There wasn't much she could do, she knew she wasn't a match to the Uchiha, but she had to try something. Tightening both of her fists, she bent down quickly, locking her fingers together as she punched the ground. A huge crater was formed, shaking the ground badly as the pieces of the ground began flying up, to all sides. She turned around, praying that she would get enough time to save the blonde. Wrapping her arms around him, she jumped away. As soon as she landed on her feet, she laid him down and her eyes went across his injury.

There was a hole in his chest, but away from his heart. A piece of the heart tissue was ripped off, causing inner bleeding in the male. Green chakra formed around her hands, and it, combined with the Nine-tails chakra fought for Naruto's life. She watched as the tissue began reconnecting. Recreating his heart tissue, she stared at his blank eyes. His chest moved slowly, which showed he was still breathing, but she was aware it could stop at any second. The skin covering his sternum began recreating, and she thanked God for the Nine-tails inside of him. She knew it was fighting for Naruto's life, trying to help as much as possible. Minutes passed, and his skin began regaining the normal tone, his breathing began returning to normal. As usual, Naruto healed fast, even for this kind of injury. Those few minutes seemed like hours to the female, but the moment Naruto blinked, the moment she looked into those blue eyes, she knew he would be alright. The thought of losing him, that painful feeling one could never forget was gone. She watched him as he stood up slowly, he was still a bit shaky but strong enough to stand on his own.

Sakura stood up, tears were still running down her cheeks and she moved towards him. In his eyes, she saw disbelief, as she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a hug. The last time she had done such a thing, was when he defeated Pain, so it was obvious why the male was surprised. Holding him like that, meant the world to her, knowing that he was alright. Also, while she was hugging him, she continued transferring her chakra into his body, making sure that his wound was healed. He attacked.
Naruto got into Bijuu more once more, and stopped Madara's attack, pushing Sakura out of the way.

'' Thank you. '' he said, turning around to her as he smiled slightly. Once more, he jumped away and continued with his battle.
She was left there alone.

A loud knock on her door snapped her out of her thoughts. She got up, and walked downstairs, as the knocking didn't stop. Opening the door, she could see a brown haired nurse, out of breath. Sakura blinked a couple of times, waiting for the woman to speak.

'' Tsunade-sama wishes to see you in her office, now. ''

Nothing more was needed for her. Sakura ran off, slamming the door behind her and leaving the nurse standing there.
Making her way trough the streets, Sakura's feet moved fast. She ran, passing by the villagers.

What does she want? Did something happen? With Naruto..?

Minutes later, she burst into the office.

Tsunade was standing, her arms were folded and placed under her chest. With her back turned to Sakura, the woman watched the village trough the large windows. Both were silent for moments.
Tsunade knew what she wanted to say, but didn't know how, while Sakura didn't want to ask first.

'' Sakura.. '' Tsunade said, breaking the heavy silence which was filling up the air. '' ..What did you do? ''

The kunoichi stood there, not understanding the question she was asked. '' E-Excuse me? ''

'' Naruto. What did you do?! '' The tone of the Hokage's voice only began showing her irritation.

Sakura's eyes widen as she realized what the woman meant. She was busted, they knew she was messing with Naruto's treatment.

'' I.. I'm sorry for involving myself when i was told not to do a thing.. ''

Tsunade turned around, now facing the girl. '' Tell me! ''

'' Chakra transfer. '' Sakura replied in a second. '' I transferred my chakra into his body, i've been doing it for days now. '' Then, a horrible thought ran trough her mind. If her master was angry like she was, maybe, she messed up and made his state worse. '' D-Don't tell me.. I.. ''

Tsunade let out a sigh. She was impressed by her students idea and the skill she she had in order to do such a maneuver. '' He's awake. ''

Sakura turned her back to the woman and ran outside.

He's awake.. Finally! Naruto woke up! I have to hurry, i have to see him! Naruto, wait up, i'll be there soon!
