I own nothing.
Sakura woke up early in the morning, but the sun was already bearing down on the desert. Her mouth had gotten dry from her sleep, so she walked over to the little well in the center of the oasis. She thanked the many trees surrounding her for shielding the sun away. She pulled out the bucket, which was filled with water, and took a slow drink. The cool water felt good going down her dry throat. It was in this state of refreshment that she remembered Sasuke.
Sakura dropped the bucket, spilling precious water in the sand. She quickly scanned the tall dunes around her for any signs of Sasuke. But again she was disappointed, the only thing that met her eyes was more sand.
At high noon when the sun beat down its strongest and the air was so dry and hot that you could barely breathe, Sakura had decided that there was only one thing that could make her move away from the trees, and that was Sasuke. And just when the heat started to make Sakura fall asleep, she saw a figure reach the peak of a small dune. The figure staggered and swayed, and whoever it was, they were exhausted. Then the person on the dune took a step towards downhill, but their legs gave out, and the tumbled terrifyingly quickly down the dune.
"Oh no! What if that's Sasuke!" Sakura said aloud. "SASUKE!" she shouted, hurriedly getting to her feet and ran as fast as she could towards the now unmoving crumpled figure. "SASUKE! Sasuke is that you!" Sakura asked as she bent over the figure. Her heart missed a few beats when she saw the bloodstained sand, and if she hadn't been a trained medical ninja she would have retched at the sight of the blood and the bone protruding from the skin. She carefully turned the figure over, and it was Sasuke.
Tears began to fall from Sakura's eyes as she carefully lifted him up to carry him back to the oasis so she could effectively treat him. "No… no… no… Sasuke…" Sakura muttered. "I wanted you to come to me, but not like this…oh, Sasuke! Why did you ever have to leave Konoha?" She layed him down in the shade gently and pressed her ear to his chest. A very faint thumping sound was there, but probably not for much longer. "NO! SASUKE YOU CAN"T DIE!" Sakura screamed as the thump withered away and either stopped or became to small to hear.
Again Sakura picked him up and brought him further in the oasis where no sun reached, back to the well. There she fervently began splashing water on him, anything to attempt getting him to wake up and fight leaving her. But he didn't move.
"C'mon! Please Sasuke! Don't leave me…" Sakura whispered. Tears rolled freely down her cheeks and onto Sasuke's shirt. Then Sakura took a deep breath and put her hands on his chest.
Green light flowed from her hands into Sasuke, and Sakura used her medical jutsu to scout out all the problems with Sasuke.
"Broken leg… sprained neck muscle… vascular shock… some desert sickness…" Sakura whispered as she fixed the problems, saving the leg for last. She figured having a broken leg would be better than having any of his other ailments.
"What… where am I?" Sasuke thought. "And who has their hands on me?" he slowly opened his eyes a small crack. The world was blurry around him. He saw flashes of blue, green, brown, and pink. "Pink?" Sasuke said aloud, sorting through his mind.
"Sasuke?" Sakura didn't stop her healing, but whispered his name.
"Sakura? Sakura, is that you?" Sasuke coughed up some blood and opened his eyes to see wide tear-brimmed jade eyes.
"SASUKE!" Yeah, that was definitely Sakura. "Gods, Sasuke! I was so worried about you! You were sick… and your heart was in shock and you leg is broken and your collarbone made you go unconscious and…" Sakura trailed off as Sasuke held up a finger.
"Sakura… water…" Sasuke whispered hoarsely through his dry throat.
"Oh, right!" Sakura dipped her hands in the bucket she had next to her, sending ripples out. She brought up some water cupped in her hands to his mouth, allowing him to drink as much as he wanted from the cool well.
So, I uploaded a bunch of my chapters! (Finally!) I think this is the end of this chapter, but I don't really know and I am too lazy to search for my notebook right now ;)
