Drabble : 8 : "Dying''
Ino held Naruto in her arms. Blood oozed out of Naruto's back and on to the floor in a dark pool. He coughed and stared in to her tear-filled eyes.
"Ino ,'' he whispered.
"What , Naruto ? ,'' Ino asked , "What ? I'm right here.''
"I'm dying , aren't I ? ,'' Naruto asked.
"No , Naruto ,'' she said , "I won't let you die. Just hang on.''
"There's no medical Ninja here ,'' Naruto replied , "and even if they did come they wouldn't make it in time. I'm bleeding to death right now.''
"You're not going to bleed to death ,'' Ino stated , "Just stay with me. Someone will come.''
"No they won't ,'' he replied , "I'm as good as gone . . .and no one will care after I am. So this is a good thing because I'm so worthless.''
"What ? ,'' Ino asked.
"I've got the Nine Tailed Fox inside of me ,'' Naruto explained , "That's why everyone in the Leaf Village hates me. They think I'm a monster . . .and they're right.''
"Shut up , Naruto ,'' she said , "I don't hate you. I don't think you're a monster and I'm not going to let you die. You're too good a person to die. Just hang on.''
Naruto laughed.
"What ? ,'' Ino asked.
"It's funny ,'' he replied.
"What is ? ,'' Ino asked.
"You think I'm a good person ? ,'' Naruto asked.
"Yes I do ,'' she stated , "You've saved the Village countless times and you're one of the strongest people I've ever met . . . . .and you still have to fulfill your dream and promise. To become the Hokage and to . . . . .marry me.''
"I did promise that didn't I ? ,'' Naruto asked.
"Yes ,'' Ino said , "So don't die you big jerk.''
"I'm sorry ,'' he stated.
Naruto closed his eyes as the medical Ninja ran up to them. Naruto died.
"You can see him now ,'' the nurse said.
Ino walked in to the hospital and over to Naruto's bed. She sat down in the chair beside his bed and stared down at him.
"Naruto , wake up ,'' Kyubi said.
Naruto opened his eyes and looked around. Next he bolted up in to a sitting position.
"WHERE AM I ?! ,'' Naruto shouted.
"AHH ! ,'' Ino gasped , "My goodness you're alive.''
"What happened ? ,'' he asked.
"YAY ! ,'' Ino shouted , "YOU'RE ALIVE , NARUTO !''
Ino gave him a bone crushing hug.
"What ? ,'' Naruto asked.
"You were dying but now you're back ,'' she said , "Don't ever do that again.''
Ino kissed Naruto on the lips and then laid down on top of him. Naruto grunted.
"Careful ,'' he said , "I'm injured.''
"Shut up and kiss me ,'' Ino stated.
They kissed.
The End.
