Love isn't just a four letter word...
Chapter 9
Thank you everyone for reviews! :)
"Sakura!" He shouted panicked.
"Sit him down there on the floor." I said tying my hair up.
Yuri was still coughing up blood and he risked choking. Sasuke did as I ordered and rubbed his back soothingly. I knelt down next to him and checked for his pulse on his hand, it was irregularly fast. I focused my chakra in my hands and placed them on his chest, helping him to breathe. A few minutes later he fell unconscious.
"Sasuke go get my backpack in my room!"
His body is rejecting the nutriments running through his blood, it being poisoned by his disease it needs to get out before it does further damage. Sasuke came back a few seconds later with my backpack in his hands.
"What do you need?" He said more seriously than scared now.
"Give me a syringe."
He through a tiny syringe wrapped in a small plastic cover. I tore off the cover and pierced it into Yuri's upper left arm. I will use the blood later on to find out what type of disease he's carrying. For now I'll have to get him to to get rid of the infected blood. I pulled him up so he was sat up and gently poked his upper back. A few minutes later he started coughing up blood again.
"Sakura." Sasuke said worried.
"We need to get rid of the infected blood." I said not taking my eyes off Yuri.
Of course I knew he risked losing too much blood but there is nothing else I could do. After coughing up a lot of blood I wiped Yuri's mouth with a warm cloth Hedai gave me and healed his throat and chest with some of my healing chakra.
"I'll need to find away to get the disease out of his system, it doesn't look good but if I can just make a medicine that will kill off the disease..." I trailed off lost in thought.
"But what will kill the disease?" Sasuke asked suddenly hopeful.
"I-I don't know." I admitted sadly.
I hated to have to be the one that crushed the sudden hope that shone in his eyes. Looking down at Yuri sleeping peacefully I felt a pang of pain in my chest, the odds don't look god but I won't give up. Dark red blood covered most of the wooden floor making it look like a soft red carpet when in reality it's holding a deadly disease.
"Don't touch the blood!" I suddenly shouted, looking at Hedai who was about to clean it off with a mop.
"Huh, why not?" She asked confused.
"We don't know if his disease is contagious. We'll have to wear gloves and masks for the time being." I said whilst pulling out three masks and rubber gloves from my backpack.
I handed Hedai and Sasuke the gloves and mask before putting them on myself, Sasuke went to go and clean Yuri up and let him rest whilst me and Hedai cleaned the living room.
An hour and a half later the place was spotless.
"He's just sleeping." I told Sasuke who was sat anxiously at the kitchen table.
"I know." He said a little more coldly than I think he meant. I didn't take it personally.
"I'll have to be able to access a laboratory where I can do some research on Yuri's disease." I said seriously.
"I think I know where you can go." Hedai said eagerly. "My eldest son use to work in research for future medicine, it's old and probably dusty, but definitely accessible."
"Your son?" Sasuke asked confused.
"Yes," She sighed sadly, "I had a son."
Hadmeaning he was no longer around. I suddenly felt a lot of sympathy for this kind woman, always caring for others. It reminded me of the time my parents left me, I don't know why but the memory suddenly popped up but I shoved it away.
"He use to own a laboratory for his research in the village." She said seriously.
It suddenly occurred to me that I had no idea where we were, we definitely weren't in the fire country. Why was I so stupid to not have asked by now?
"Where are we exactly?" I asked curious.
"Iwa." Answered Sasuke.
Earth country?!
"Why do you look so surprised?" He asked looking at me as if I was an idiot.
This annoyed me. "Well you never told me I was in the Earth country!"
"You never asked."
Sakura suddenly grew red, I had a feeling I have to be more careful next time. She opened her mouth to say something but snapped it shut and grit her teeth.
"Never mind." She spat and walked out the room.
"Sasuke." Hedai scolded looking at me as if I were a five year old and had just broken a really expensive toy.
"What?" I said shrugging my shoulders, "I haven't done anything wrong."
She tutted whilst shaking her head then walked out of the room silently. I was left in the living room feeling extremely confused, witch annoyed me. 'What is it with you women!?' Sakura did look quite angry earlier, and something in the back of my head is screaming: Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!
I have to admit, I don't like seeing Sakura like that, it usually wouldn't bother me but, it's Sakura, and it does bother me. 'Why am I blushing?!....AGAIN?!'
That night everyone was silent at the dinner table, Yuri was still resting and Sakura was still mad. I grew more and more frustrated when she wouldn't even say stupid things like 'Thank you' or 'Did you check on Yuri?' It was starting to really get on my nerves. I slammed my fork down on the table. Hedai and Sakura looked at me with wide eyes.
"I can't take this anymore!" I shouted.
Sakura stood up then and glared at me. "The world doesn't always revolve around you Sasuke." She spat before leaving.
It took all my power to not go after her and slap her. Instead I pushed the table so hard it flipped over and all of it's contents fell to the floor. I could see Hedai was looking at me disapprovinglybut I didn't care. I decided to go up to my room, try and calm down, as I passed Sakura's door I could hear small sobs. 'I made her cry...'Suddenly I feel like the biggest idiot in the world, guilt washed away every other feeling. I suddenly forgot about everything, and listened to her quiet sobbing. The sound of it was painful, but I decided I deserved it. After a while the sobbing stopped and I wondered if I should say something. I knocked on the door quietly. No response. I knocked again but nothing. Silently I opened the door to see she had fallen asleep. She was crawled up in a ball cradling something. I went over to her bed where I saw her pillow was wet from her tears. She was holding something that looked like a picture frame but I couldn't see the picture. I sat down then. She looked so peaceful and...just beautiful. I gently brushed away the hair that covered her face and stroked her damp cheeks. She suddenly let go of her grasp on the picture frame and it fell the rite way up just beside her. I presumed it was a picture of her parents, the woman that is probably her mother was tall and thin. She had pink hair that swayed down to her back and bright brown eyes, nothing like Sakura's. She was smiling and the resemblance between her and Sakura was astonishing. Next to her the person I presume is her Father had short dark hair but extremely bright emerald green eyes. He was smiling too and they looked very happy. I didn't realise that Sakura has left a lot behind to be here. She left her village and her family. I didn't think about whats he was sacrificing once. I put the picture on the bedside table and gently fiddled with a few strands of her silky pink hair. Sakura really is a great person, she helped with Yuri and if I hadn't been such a jerk she wouldn't be like this rite now. My face burned annoyingly as I bent down and placed my lips on her forhead. Her eyes shot open then.
"Sasuke?" She asked in small voice.
If it was possible my face burnt even more.
Getting all romantic now xD !!
Hope you liked this chapter :)
