Hello readers. I'm sorry for the delay. I've been so busy with school work and I hadn't been able to write.
Next chapter might take as long as well, but please don't be mad.
Now enjoy this chapter that I have prepared for you.
3 days, 8 hours, 6 minutes, 60 minutes.
That is the time of our two lovers had been in their peaceful coma.
Both in the same room, in white cloths, in white beds, silently keeping Sasuke's freedom. Sakura stood between their beds, her eyes watching their monitors for any sigh of change.
Her face was calm and professional, like a true doctor would have been in a situation like this, but inside, Sakura was burning with emotional pain. She couldn't bear see Naruto in a coma, so silent. She had missed him for so long that it was painful to slightly have him away. She also suffer for Sasuke, the love of her life, the man she couldn't forget was locked up for proving to her and the village that he was not a changed man.
"Sakura" The pink haired woman heard a male voice called her name from behind, slightly taking her by surprise.
"Hello Shikamaru" She said softly as she turned around to face the handsome Jonnin. "What did they decide?" She asked.
Shikamaru was the only jonnin present in the final decision of Sasuke's trial. "Death Penalty" He said, his eyes piercing to Sakura's soul as she was tempted to brake down.
"I see" Sakura whispered and turned around and resume checking on Naruto's and Hinata's vitals.
"It's today" Shikamaru said and Sakura froze.
"So soon?" Sakura asked.
"They fear he could escape anytime soon. They can't afforded having Sasuke on the loose again. It's too risky"
"I understand" Sakura whispered as she struggled to keep her tears in.
"Are you alright?" Shikamaru asked.
"Yes" Sakura said, taking in a deep breath.
Sakura waited until Shikamaru was gone, her face still calm as it's should be. She turned from Naruto to Hinata and gasped.
Hinata's pale eyes stared back into her as she tried speaking.
"Hinata! You're awake!" Sakura said surprised, quickly getting a glass of water that laid beside the two beds. '
Hinata drank the water and gasped for fresh air. "Sasuke, sasuke" She said between breaths.
"Don't worry Hinata. Sasuke won't hurt you again" Sakura said, as she caressed Hinata's head.
"No!" She yelled startling Sakura. "Sasuke saved us" She finally said.
"What?" Sakura asked. "I'm getting Tsunade-sama" Sakura ran out of the room, leaving Hinata alone in her room. She looked at her right, where the blonde ninja slept. "Naruto-kun" she whispered, a hint of a smile in her lips.
"Hinata! You're awake!" Tsunade said as burst through the doors with Sakura behind. She quickly took out her stethoscope and check Hinata's vitals. "You're vitals are back to normal" Tsunade smiled.
"Hokage-sama. Sasuke-san is innocent. You can't punish him for something he didn't do" Hinata said, as she slapped away Tsunade's hand.
"What are you talking about Hinata?" Tsunade asked with a frown.
"I heard when they told Sakura-san about Sasuke death penalty, I've been listening to people talk as they were around me, accusing him of what happened to us but it wasn't Sasuke, It was Arashi who did this" Hinata explained.
" Hinata, you just came out from a three day coma and things might seem a little confusing. I need you to rest and don't think about anything else" Tsunade said.
"But Hokage-sama…"
"Rest Hinata" Tsunade commanded as she walked away along with Sakura.
"No. I can't let Sasuke be punished for saving me. I must to something" Hinata said to herself. She then looked at Naruto and quickly understood what she must do.
Hinata licked her lips and moved the blankets away from her legs letting the cold air hit her skin. She wobble herself to Naruto's bed and laid beside him, for she was too weak to stand for sometime.
"Naruto-kun. You have to wake up Naruto-kun. Sasuke needs you" Hinata said but there was no reaction. Hinata's eyes began to water as she watched her unconscious love.
"Please Naruto-kun. Wake up. Please Wake up!"
