MAJOR EDIT COMPLETE
KOKORO: SOUL, HEART
Something was wrong, she could just feel it.
Of course, her ninja-senses weren't near as impressive when she was currently limping back to Konoha, her senses failing from the lethal poison injected into many points of her body.
Crap, she still had two hours of traveling at her top speed.
Which she was currently going one-fith of at best, though she was barely moving.
She wasn't going to live five minutes, much less ten hours.
Gasping, she fell to her knees, clutching her head and letting lose a bloodcurdling scream in response to something only she could hear.
Unless you want to die, I suggest you swallow your pride. Ask for help.
"No! I-won't- I refuse to!"
I won't help unless you ask.
"I won't!"she panted weakly. "I won't. Won't won't won't won't..."
Moaning, Kokoro curled up against a tree.
Too bad. Nice being trapped in your lethargic body.
OOooOOooOO
"What?" Naruto exclaimed.
"The Kazekage was kidnapped by the Akatsuki. It's your job to retrieve him. Kakashi has the details, Sakura and he are both waiting by the gate, and I'll send a back up squad when one is available. You're currently the only team capable of doing this. Now go!"
Surprisingly, Naruto only nodded and ran to the gates.
Tsunade was only given a short reprieve however, because minutes later an ANBU shunshined into her office.
"Lady Hokage, we have a kunoichi in need of immediate medical attention. She's pretty bad,"
Biting back a sarcastic reply that went along the lines of 'no shit, dumbass?' she stood up. "What is it?"
"A returning team came across an unconscious kunoichi a couple hours away from the village. When they found her, she had one foot in her grave. If she doesn't get immediate care-"
"Does this kunoichi have a name?" she asked briskly, already on her way to the hospital.
"It is unconfirmed, but she is believed to be Kokoro Haratsuchi,"
Couldn't these brats go one day without someone almost dying?
OOooOOooOO (Nothing was edited in this part)
"Oi, Gin-me?"
Darkness. Everything was dark. No light. Why wasn't there any light?
"Wake up, Gin-me!"
Was that a pinprick of light? No, she preferred the darkness. The darkness was cool and comforting.
"Dammit, wake up already!"
No. No, she didn't want to wake up. Waking up meant light.
"I swear, Kokoro, If you die-" the voice broke off suddenly.
Die? Why would she die?
"If you-if you die-"
Naruto? It was, wasn't it. Naruto was the prick of light.
"I'll find a way to bring you back-"
He would do that?
"-and then I'll kill you again!"
He was so- so Naruto-like. Maybe she didn't like the darkness as much as she originally thought. Darkness meant no Naruto.
"Gin-me, please,"
Yes, Kokoro was sure she liked the light more.
"Come back,"
She would. She would reach out the the light and step into it. Naruto would be on the other side, desperately trying not to cry. Naruto would yell, he would berate his Gin-me for not waking up sooner. Yes, that's what would happen.
It wasn't.
Instead of a sunny Naruto there was only more, metaphorical darkness. In actuality, everything was quite bright.
Because of the fire.
Fire was ravaging the whole village, eating it up like an angry demon, licking up the sides of buildings and flesh as it craved more food to devour.
"Gin-me, why won't you wake up? You're the one doing this, stop it!" this time, Naruto's voice was filled with badly suppressed panic.
What? She couldn't have caused this. There's no way-
"Koko, please let go!"
She looked around and gasped. There, being strangled by cruel vines, was Takara.
No. She couldn't cause it, not again. No. Nonononono-
Darkness. Everything was dark. No light. Why wasn't there any light?
"Wake up, Gin-me!"
Was that a pinprick of light? No, she preferred the darkness. The darkness was cool and comforting.
"Dammit, wake up already!"
No. No, she didn't want to wake up. Waking up meant light.
"I swear, Kokoro, If you die-" the voice broke off suddenly.
Die? Why would she die?
"If you-if you die-"
Naruto? It was, wasn't it. Naruto was the prick of light.
"I'll find a way to bring you back-"
He would do that?
"-and then I'll kill you again!"
He was so- so Naruto-like. Maybe she didn't like the darkness as much as she originally thought. Darkness meant no Naruto.
"Gin-me, please,"
Yes, Kokoro was sure she liked the light more.
"Come back,"
She would. She would reach out the the light and step into it. Naruto would be on the other side, desperately trying not to cry. Naruto would yell, he would berate his Gin-me for not waking up sooner. Yes, that's what would happen.
Sort of.
Naruto was grinning when the darkness faded away.
Everything was bright.
They were on a field, a very familiar field.
"Gin-me," he breathed, twirling a pink flower in his fingers.
Then he crushed it.
And his smile became cruel.
What was going on with Naruto? Why was this happening?
"Gin-me, Gin-me," he mocked, pulling out a kunai.
No. This wasn't her Naruto. Something was wrong, his blue eyes weren't full of mirth and his lips weren't upturned in a smile.
What was wrong with Naruto?
"It's your fault. Everything is. You killed me just like you killed your sister. Where did you think you were? You're in your own hell," Naruto smirked. "And you deserve it. After all, you killed your own sister. What kind of person does that?"
No. It wasn't her fault. She was forced-
"And you're a ninja. What good ninja wouldn't end up here? You're guilty of more evil than many civilians could even dream about,"
No. Nonononono-
Darkness. Everything was dark. No light. Why wasn't there any light?
"Wake up, Gin-me!"
Was that a pinprick of light? No, she preferred the darkness. The darkness was cool and comforting.
"Dammit, wake up already!"
No. No, she didn't want to wake up. Waking up meant light.
Ninjas like her belonged in the darkness.
They didn't deserve happiness-
The pinprick of light vanished.
-and they didn't deserve friendship-
The voice stopped repeating 'Gin-me'.
-and they didn't deserve light.
Darkness. Everything was dark. No light.
No light, ever again.
