Elemental Cherry Blossom-Chapter 7
"Talking"
"Thoughts"
Sakura felt as if time slowed down around her. She could hear Naruto shouting that it wasn't true and that Tsunade was wrong. Tsunade sighed as she massaged her temples.
"Naruto, shut up" Tsunade barked as she glared at him. Sending Naruto a final glare she glanced over at Sakura. Sakura was visibly shaking as she sobbed. Naruto quickly rushed over to the crying pinkette and began consoling her.
"Baa-chan, are you sure that she's really…" Naruto began looking at Tsunade, begging her with his eyes to tell him that it was all just a cruel joke.
"I wish it was Naruto, but I did some tests and they turned out positive" Tsunade muttered. Soon Sakura's sobbing turned in to sniffles, Naruto patting her back and trying his best to comfort the distraught woman.
"How far along am I?" Sakura murmured, swollen eyes staring at Tsunade.
"Your about a month along, the baby is healthy" Tsunade stated. Naruto frowned before glancing up from his teammate and making eye contact with Tsunade.
"But…Baa-chan why did Sakura-chan faint?" Naruto questioned eyes wide with panic. Tsunade opened her mouth to speak on to be cut of by Naruto.
"Sakura-chan's not sick is she, you said she was ok!" Naruto shouted as he held Sakura protectively. Tsunade scowled as she clenched her fist ready to send the brat in to next year.
"Naruto! Shut up and listen!" Tsunade growled as she glared at Naruto. Naruto scowled but remained silent as he adjusted his hold on Sakura so her head rested comfortably against his shoulder.
"Sakura fainted from exhaustion" Tsunade stated while sending a questioning look in Sakura's direction. Sakura muttered something as Tsunade and Naruto strained to hear it.
"Er...Sakura-chan we can't hear you..." Naruto said uncertainly, hoping that the pinkette wouldn't burst in to tears again. Sakura turned her head so it faced Tsunade before speaking again.
"I've been eating less for a while…I just kept throwing it up" Sakura murmured before looking away from Tsunade's eyes. Eye's that held pity, Sakura scowled, she didn't need pity. Tsunade let a sigh escape her rosy lips and she massaged her temples again, kami-sama she needed some booze.
"Sakura, you have been training and you haven't been eating enough to get enough energy, it's no wonder you fainted. I thought you would realize that you were pregnant, you're a medic" Tsunade stated sending a disapproving look in Sakura's direction.
"I just thought it was the flu or something…I knew that it wasn't…I was scared. I didn't want to know that it wasn't the flu that I had to worry about..." Sakura stated through choked sobs as tears began to fill her eyes. Naruto scowled at Tsunade for making Sakura cry before going back to comforting his best friend. Tsunade sighed before standing up and dusting imaginary dust off.
"Naruto, come with me" Tsunade stated with a wave of her hand. Naruto stood before quickly shuffling over towards the door and sending nervous glances back towards Sakura. Once outside in the hallway Tsunade began to speak.
"Naruto I'm putting you in charge of taking care of and protecting Sakura" Tsunade stated calmly.
"I'm fine with taking care of and protecting Sakura-chan. You didn't even need to ask me…but is Sakura-chan in danger?" Naruto asked seriously, his blue eyes locking on Tsunade's hazel eyes. Tsunade sighed before glancing around the empty hallway.
"Naruto I have a good guess of whose baby it is, and if I'm right Sakura and the baby will need protection. The fact that Sakura is my apprentice will make many enemy villages and Nin's target her" Tsunade said in a hushed town, eyes blazing. Naruto's eye's widened as he realized the danger Sakura was in.
"Ok I get it but…..Wait…What?! You know who the father is?!?" Naruto screeched. Tsunade glared at Naruto before telling him to shut up. Tsunade nodded answering Naruto's question. Naruto's eyes widened before he began thinking of ways to kill the man that did this to Sakura-chan.
"Baa-chan who is? You got to tell me!" Naruto said in a hushed tone.
"Naruto I can't tell you, if Sakura wants you to know she will tell you" Tsunade stated sternly. Naruto opened his mouth to protest but it quickly closed from the look he received from the busty blonde. The two blondes entered the room again to find Sakura staring out the window blankly. Naruto darted over to her side immediately as Tsunade walked to the side of Sakura's bed. Clearing her throat, Tsunade got Sakura's attention.
"Sakura you don't have to keep the baby, you have other options, such as putting it up for adoption or getting an abortion..." Tsunade stated quietly as she waited for the woman's reaction. Sakura bit her lip as she stared at her clenched hands.
"Baa-chan! You're stressing Sakura-chan out! Stop trying to force her to give up the ba-"Naruto began before being cut off.
"It's ok Naruto…I'm..going to..keep the baby..my baby" Sakura finished quietly as she placed a hand on her stomach. Tsunade smiled before nodding at both Sakura and Naruto telling them that she would visit them later. Tsunade smiled slightly as she walked away, hearing Naruto state that he'll help Sakura all the way though. The smile soon slipped off as Tsunade sighed, Sakura had a hard road ahead of her but she had friends that would help. The only reaction Tsunade worried about was the father's reaction. How would this change their lives, hell this would change Konoha.
