Wow I can't believe I'm updating the next day. OMG, Armageddon is here! Everyone grab all the chocolate, starbucks and shoes, you can and head for safety!!!!!!!

Naruto: Please excuse Suki-chan, once again she didn't take her medicine this morning and has recently taken a liking to crack.

Hey don't tell them that Naruto. -looks at readers- It is soooooooooooo not true and i did take my medicine this morning so Ha!!! Any ways on with this amazingly sucky chapter of RUNAWAY LOVE!!!!!!!!!


Thinking quickly he grabbed Naruto and placed him on his back and linked his arm with Sakura's. Then he concentrated his chakra and made a few hand signs. Soon there was a pop and the three teens disappeared in a cloud of chakra smoke just as the exploding note hit the ground.

Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura reappeared outside in a clearing about two miles from the Akatsuki hideout. Sasuke carefully placed Naruto on the ground and turned to Sakura.

"You can fix him right?" he asked. Sakura turned to him slowly her eyes wide with fear and sadness. She slowly looked back at the bloody mass that was Naruto's body.

"I don't know. His wounds don't look that bad but we don't have medication to stop them from getting infected," she said softly her voice cracking slightly. Sasuke growled and glared at the ground.

"Dammit, that's right. And for all we know, whatever kind of weapon Itachi used in his Tsukuyomi could have had poison on it." Sakura looked at him sadly. She suddenly felt guilty for wishing Naruto away and causing all this trouble. She blamed herself for this whole ordeal.

'Dammit, I just had to be jealous. This is all my fault. I have to do something to make it right.' "I can check to see the extent of the wounds and then see if we can make any of the medicines from herbs and other plants that grow around here," she said forcing a hopeful smile before kneeling down next to Naruto's body and putting her hand on his forehead.

She closed her eyes and blue chakra surrounding her hand. She slowly and carefully moved it across Naruto's body making sure to stop at every wound. When she was done she stared expressionlessly at the ground near to Naruto.

"The wounds seem to have been made by senbon. Most of them are moderately small and can be healed with just a bandage and some antibacterial but some were deep and some of his organs were punctured. Even if I could do the surgery I would have to to fix him the forest is not exactly the ideal place for an operation. We need a hospital." Sakura closed her eyes to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. Sasuke took a deep breath before picking Naruto up and putting him on his back and walking forward.

"Well then we'll just have to get to a town quickly," he said before jumping into a tree and leaping off with Sakura following quickly behind him.

Naruto opened his eyes wearily. He looked around and saw that he was in a sewer once again. He sat up groggily and groaned as he felt the cuts on his chest and stomach reopen. He walked around the corner and came to the familiar cage of a certain demon Kitsune.

"Kit we're in trouble," Kyuubi said cutting straight to the chase. Naruto looked up at him.

"Yeah I know. We're gonna die aren't we?" he asked with a mirthless laugh. Kyuubi growled.

"Stop laughing kit, this is serious. I gave you most of my power. Yes I could probably heal your wounds but only the minor ones. You organs were punctured and I don't have enough power to heal you and it will take about two days for me to regain all of my strength and by then you would probably be dead." Naruto looked down at the ground and frowned.

"Shit, unless Sasuke and Sakura can take me to a hospital in time I'm a goner. Dammit, dammit, dammit. I can't just sit here and watch myself die. I have to do something." Naruto clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles started to turn white.

"I'm sorry kit. This is all my fault. Your father told me I was to protect you not let you die by the hands of that filthy Uchiha." Naruto shook his head vigorously.

"NO! I won't believe it. There's got to be something, anything, just something to prolong our time. A medicine that can stop the internal bleeding. Anything to keep me alive. I don't want to die. I'm not ready," Naruto shouted. He felt a tear slide down his whiskered cheek. He quickly fisted it away before looking up at the Kyuubi pleadingly.

"There is one thing, if I can remember correctly. It is made of a plant that only grows in the forest outside of Konoha. I can't remember what it is called but I remember what it looked like. It had a long stem with two edged leaves. This time of year it has a small flower with exactly five heart-shaped petals. Three of them are white and the other two are purple. They usually grow at the base of old tree stumps. If you grind the plant up and boil it in some water and drink it, it should temporarily heal you. But you will still need to get to a hospital. The medicine if you find it will only work of about 48 hours, by then I will most likely have my strength back and be able to heal you but you still need to get to a hospital." Naruto nodded happily and smiled.

"I'll tell Sakura and Sasuke. Thank you Kyuubi." Kyuubi smiled at his host fondly.

"Anytime kit, anytime."

Sasuke jumped down from a tree and landed in an open clearing. He carefully set Naruto down and began gathering some sticks for a fire. Sakura dropped down and sat down by Naruto feeling useless.

"Sasuke maybe I should…" Sasuke sighed heavily and turned to her shaking his head.

"No, it's ok. You've been through enough, you're going to hurt the baby. Just rest for a while I'll start a fire and then I'll go look for some food." Sasuke continued to gather sticks. Suddenly the two teens heard a groan and turned to see Naruto sitting up slowly.

"Naruto! You're awake!" they both yelled before almost squeezing Naruto to death. He laughed lightly before prying them off of him and straightening his shirt a bit. Then he turned to Sakura and looked at her seriously.

"Kyuubi has an idea of how to save me."
