Moonlight Love ch. 10

A Girl Worth Fighting For

OoOoOo

Sasuke bust opened the doors of the theater, her chest heaving up and down from all that running. She walked through the theater halls, passing by every room, calling out her brother's name. "Itachi... Itachi, where are you?"

"Sasuke!" She heard him called back. "Sasuke, over here!"

Sasuke followed his voice that led her to the dressing room. She opened the door and entered the room quietly, closing the door behind her. She then started taking steps towards to where she heard her brother's voice behind the curtains.

"Sasuke, is that you?"

Sasuke swiftly pulled the curtain back to reveal a television set, showing a video of her and Itachi when they were younger. Sasuke was eight in this video while Itachi was thirteen. They were running around in a maze until she got lost. Luckily, Itachi found her before their parents did.

Itachi was comforting his crying little sister. "It's okay, Sasuke. I'm here."

Younger Sasuke wiped those tears away from her eyes. "Itachi... is that you? I got lost."

Itachi pulled his sister into a hug, allowing her to cry on his shoulder, petting her hair in comfort. "It's okay, I'm here, baby sister. Shhh."

"Brother, I thought I would never see you again. I'm sorry I ran off." Sasuke apologized.

"That's okay! Just don't ever run off again, okay?"

"Okay."

"Here I'll carry you on our way out."

Itachi knelt down on the ground so that his little sister could get on his back, and she did.

Young Sasuke laughed. "Yay piggy-back ride! Getty up, Itachi!"

Itachi chuckled as he took off, carrying little Sasuke on his back.

Sasuke pushed the stop button on the VCR, confused of what's going on. Then she heard a door slam behind her, along with a malicious laugh. She quickly turned around to find Orochimaru placing his hand on the door. That's when she realized that it's trap. She activated her sharingan as soon as Orochimaru approaches her.

She demanded, "What do you want?"

The snake man laughed. "I came to make a certain Uchiha become my new body. I'm surprised that you fell for my trick, and you actually believed that I kidnapped your brother. Now, I got you right where I want you."

Sasuke tightened her fists and went charging towards him, only to be punched in the stomach. She coughed up spit after he did that. She lifted her knee and kneed him right in the place where no guy wants to be hit. Orochimaru yelped in pain as he fell to the ground, nursing his manhood. Sasuke took this as a chance to run. She ran out of the dressing room to the stage, where she saw an exit on the other side. She quickly ran towards it. Before her hand would reach the door knob, she felt a hand grab her by her neck and threw her against the wall. Soon her back meet against the wall, sliding down until her butt hits the floor. Sasuke deactivated her sharigan when her head came in contact with the wall. She shook her head to rid away the stars dancing in front of her eyes. When her vision came into focus, she noticed Orochimaru is crouching down in front of her.

He grabbed hold of her left leg, saying," Just to be sure you can't run... I'm going to have to hurt you..... bad!"

Orochimaru tightly gripped the raven's leg, snapping the leg bone, listening to it crack.

Sasuke felt pain shoot right up through her leg, and she cried, "OWWW!"

Orochimaru evilly laughed. "Now, I can move forward with my plan."

Right when he was about to take Sasuke, he saw a boy in orange-clad running up to him. A fist collided into his face, causing him to come flying and crashing into a wall. Orochimaru sat up to find that the orange-clad boy was no other than Naruto.

Orochimaru greeted him, "Ah Naruto, how nice of you to join us."

"Cut the sweet talk, Freak! I know what you want and I'm not letting you get it!" Naruto yelled through his barred teeth. "I won't let you take Sasuke!"

"Oh Naruto, you silly boy, you think that using the chakra seal could lure me away. Well you're wrong. I got the Uchiha right where I want her, and she couldn't run now that I broken her leg." Orochimaru smirked, gesturing to Sasuke, who is still in pain. "So what are you going to do about it?"

Naruto let out a growl, glaring at him with his blood red eyes. Sasuke couldn't help but feel slight fear of what state Naruto is in. She noticed the red eyes, the fangs, and the sharp claws. She knew right away that he's not really what everyone thought he is. Plus, she was surprised at how brave he is when he stood up against Orochimaru.

"He's not doing this alone!" A voice, which happens to be Shikamaru's, called.

They turned their heads to see the entire gang coming. Shikamaru, Ino, Kiba, Sakura, Hinata, and Gaara came to rescue Sasuke as soon as they followed her chakra patterns. They stood in fighting stances, preparing for the scene that is about to unfold. Hinata activated her byakugan, showing the veins next to her eyes. Ino and Sakura stood in a I'm-ready-to-pound-you stance. Gaara already has sand surrounding him. Shikamaru prepared himself to use his shadow techniques while Kiba and Akamaru stood in fighting stance.

Kiba declared, "We got you outnumbered, Orochimaru! Give up!"

"We're not letting you take anyone until we're all dead!" Ino declared, cracking her knuckles.

Orochimaru laughed sinisterly. "You think you could stop me? As if.... you're not even as strong as you think you are!"

"We may be a bunch recently promoted jounin, but we fight for what is ours and that's Sasuke." Sakura claimed.

Sasuke looked around at everyone in her group, and realized that her friends are willing to do anything to save her.

The battle begins when Orochimaru charged towards Shikamaru, knocking him down. Gaara created a giant hand out of sand and made it follow Orochimaru. Orochimaru evaded that sand hand as fast as he could. Kiba and Akamaru jumped in mid air, spinning and forming a two-headed wolf.

"Wolf Fang over Fang!" Kiba called.

The two aimed at the snake man, who then dodged out of the way, causing them to crash into a wall. Sakura charged towards Orochimaru with her fist ready to pound. Orochimaru smirked as he dodged her punches and kicks. Hinata attempted to give him a swift kick, only to be knocked down by the man.

Shikamaru commanded, "Sakura, Hinata, look after Sasuke. We'll take care of this!"

The two girls nodded and ran over to Sasuke, who is still in pain. They knelt down in front of her.

Sakura asked," Where does this hurt, Sasuke", her hand glowing.

Sasuke looked at her and replied, "It hurts on the back of my lower left leg... OWW!"

"Let me take a look at that!" Sakura moved her glowing hand over her leg, examining her injury.

While she's doing that, the rest of the group were fighting off Orochimaru and they weren't doing so good. Shikamaru had his shadow follow Orochimaru, which is starting to get really hard since Orochimaru's been dodging every attack he could throw at him. Then Shikamaru sensed him coming near him. Before the man would attempt to attack him, Ino placed her hand on his back, giving the snake man a swift kick in his side. Orochimaru was taken back by her attack, and he looked around to find everyone surrounding him. He stretched out his neck, looking like a snake as he did so. When no one's not looking, he stretched his neck out further and bit Sasuke on the neck. He pulled away as soon as Sasuke felt pain.

Sasuke collapsed on the ground, clutching her neck, screaming in pain. As soon as her screams reached Naruto's ears, the blond looked to see Sasuke on the ground, holding her neck. Then he started to feel rage build up inside of him, red chakra appearing all around him, making him look all fox-like. The red chakra formed one tail and then two tails. The group backed away, knowing that things are about to go bad. Naruto stood on all fours, glaring up at Orochimaru, showing his barred teeth.

Orochimaru smirked and laughed sinisterly, feeling proud of what he just did to Sasuke. With all the strength and agility Naruto had left, he started charging towards Orochimaru. Orochimaru's laughter soon died down when a fist collided with his chest, causing him to go flying against a wall opposite of where he stood. He could've swore he heard bones cracking after he crashed. Naruto went after him and continued attacking him.

Sakura and Hinata were trying to console Sasuke, but the stinging white pain won't go away.

Hinata asked, "What's happening to her", panicing.

"It's the venom..... and it's killing her." Sakura explained, also panicing.

Hianta looked at the pinkette with fright, and went back to consoling Sasuke.

Sakura turned her head to look at Naruto, and yelled, "Naruto, you gotta hurry! We don't have that much time!"

Naruto heard her voice clearly, and felt more rage, realizing what Orochimaru had just did to Sasuke. He bit her with venom, that contains chakra. Suddenly a third tail appeared from all that red chakra surrounding Naruto. Naruto tilted his head up towards the ceiling and roared in anger, feeling his skin burning. He then pounced on Orochimaru and started beating him up some more. He scratched at his face and body, throwing punches at him, blood splattering everywhere. Orochimaru smirked and turned into a pile of snakes, escaping from the blond's grasp. Behind him, the snakes morphed into Orochimaru. Naruto turned around and went towards him. He was almost about ready to pounce when suddenly, one of the chakra tails sliced through a pillar, knocking it down, trapping Orochimaru beneath it. Then the other tails hit the carpet, creating a line of fire. Orochimaru, who is trapped by the pillar, screamed as he felt the fire burning him, melting away his flesh. Soon the room smelled like burnt flesh. The gang then noticed that the building was about to collapse.

Shikamaru cried out, "We gotta get here! The building is about to fall!"

The group paniced and started running. Sakura called," Naruto, we need you to lift Sasuke!"

Naruto turned to Sakura and went over to where the girls are. Sasuke, who is still holding her neck from the bite, started to lose consciousness. As soon as Naruto got closer, she passed out on the floor. Naruto knelt down beside her, and scooped her up bridal style. He nodded towards the two girls, and he said," Let's go!"

The group ran out of the building as quick as they could, avoiding the flames and the falling objects. When they're finally out of the building, the building collapsed behind them. Then noticed that it's going to blow up.

Shikamaru cried out, "Look out!"

Everyone jumped down to the ground on their stomachs, holding their heads. Naruto covered Sasuke's body with his own, sheilding her from the flying objects. Then the building exploded, pieces of glass flying, landing next to the bodies of the gang. The gang stood up from the ground, only to hear sirens coming their way. Naruto stood up, holding an unconscious Sasuke in his arms.

Shikamaru announced," All we need to do now is get Sasuke to a hospital! She's going to need all the medical help she could get!"

Naruto nodded, holding Sasuke closer to himself.

OoOoOo

Sasuke fluttered her eyes open when she heard the sound of beeping machines.

"Sasuke", a voice called. "Sasuke, can you hear me?"

Sasuke blinked a few times to get her eyes focused. When they came into focus, she looked to see Kakashi sitting a chair next to her bed, along with Obito and Rin.

Kakashi smiled behind his mask and made an upside down U with his eye. He said, "Thank goodness you're awake! We're all so worried about you."

"Where am I? What happened?" Sasuke asked, looking around the room.

"You're in a hospital. You broke your fibula in half and also got bitten by Orochimaru. You're very lucky that the venom didn't harm you as much as we expected, and the doctor made sure all of that venom is gone. So you're clean for now." Kakashi explained. "Plus, the doctor had to operate on your leg so that the bones could be put back together."

Obito grinned. "Welcome to the club, Cuz!"

Sasuke sat up on her elbows to find a white cast on her left leg, where Orochimaru has snapped it. She felt a hand rest on her shoulder, pushing her back down on the bed. She looked up at Kakashi with a tired expression, and she said," I couldn't believe it.... my friends risked their lives.... for me."

"Don't thank them just yet. You gotta thank him first. After all, he did save your life." Kakashi assured her.

"Who? Who saved my life?"

Kakashi answered," Look to your right and find out", tilting his head to the said savior.

Sasuke turned her head to the right to see Naruto sitting in one of those comfy chairs with his arms crossed over his chest. He looked up at her with tired eyes from what Sasuke could tell from lack of sleep.

The adult trio stood up from their seats. Obito said," We'll leave you two alone."

After he said that, they left the room, leaving Naruto and Sasuke in a moment of silence. As they were leaving the room, Sasuke heard one of the nurses say, "Did you hear the news? I heard that Orochimaru is dead."

Sasuke is at lost for words when she said "dead." She thought,' Orochimaru is dead? Seriously? There's no way that can't be true. Is he.... really...?'

"Sasuke, it's true. He is dead!" Naruto stated.

Sasuke snapped her head to him.

Naruto told her," Orochimaru is dead. I killed him. He can't hurt you now. Consider yourself lucky that the venom didn't kill you", with a slight chuckle.

Sasuke looked at her broken leg and then back at Naruto. She said," Naruto, I have something to say to you."

"Yes."

Sasuke sat up with the help of Naruto. Out of nowhere, she wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck, hugging him. Naruto was surprised at this, but he shook it off and hugged her back, wrapping his arms around her waist. They stayed like that until they heard the door open. They pulled back to see their friends entering the room with flowers and sweets.

Sakura rushed over to Sasuke and pulled her into a tight hug, saying, "Oh Sasuke, I'm so glad you're okay! You got us all worried! We wanted to be there when you wake up but the doctor told us to go home."

"That's nice. Now can you let me go.... I-I c-can't breath..." Sasuke choked out.

"Sorry." Sakura apologized, releasing Sasuke from her hug.

Ino placed down the flowers and a box of chocolates on table next to the bed. She said," We bought you flowers and chocolates on our way here. I know that you don't like sweets, but we made sure we bought the sugar-FREE kind. Is that okay?"

Sasuke nodded. "Thank you."

Kiba questioned, "Oh, did you anyone tell you that Orochimaru is dead?"

"Yes, we all know that, Kiba. It's all over the news." Shikamaru addressed, rolling his eyes.

"I was talking to Sasuke." Kiba defended.

Sasuke stated, "Naruto told me so no need to worry."

"Did anyone tell you that Naruto has been watching you while you were asleep?" Kiba questioned again.

Sasuke rose her eyebrows at his question. "Really?"

Shikamaru explained. "Yeah, he's been watching over you since we got you to the hospital two days ago. He was with you the whole time. He was with you in the operation room when the doctor had to fix your leg and remove all that venom out of your blood stream. Sasuke, you're lucky that the didn't venom didn't harm you."

Then a tall blond woman came in with a clipboard. She announced," Okay kids, visiting time is over. You must leave, go on."

The kids groaned as they leave the room. The blond woman, who Sasuke assumed must be the doctor, sat down on the bed and checked over her clipboard, looking at the data.

She asked," How are you doing today, Sasuke?"

"I'm doing okay, just feeling tired." Sasuke replied.

The doctor nodded and introduced herself," My name is Tsunade. I'm a doctor here in this hospital, and I'm also Konoha's current hokage."

"Nice to meet you, Tsunade." Sasuke took the time to take in her appearance. Tsunade has light skin, light blond hair, brown eyes, and a purple diamond in the center of her forehead. She's wearing a grass-green jacket over her khaki, kimono-style blouse that is held by a dark blue obi. She is also wearing dark blue trousers and open toed high heeled shoes. Sasuke was pretty surprised when saw how large her bust size is from the average.

Naruto whispered in her ear," Don't be fooled by her appearance. She may look young, but she's also an old lady."

Tsunade, who heard that, turned to glare at Naruto. She said," Don't talk about me like that, brat! I raised you better than that."

"Oh yeah, all you raised is your sake, Granny Tsunade." Naruto barked.

Tsunade glowered at him, showing a vein in her forehead. She picked up Naruto and threw him against the wall.

She yelled," How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that? It makes me feel old!"

"That's because you are old!" Naruto remarked.

"Shut up!" Tsunade turned her attention to Sasuke. "Now, I'm going to show you your X-ray of what your leg looks like after Orochimaru snapped it."

She took the X-ray out of a folder and placed it up on a screen. She turned it on, and she explained to the raven," See that? This is where Orochimaru snapped your leg; at the fibula. That's why you were in so much pain after he did that. I could hardly believe that he would have the strength to do something like that. Anyway, I fixed up your leg and took out all the venom from your blood. According to my calculations, you would be able to walk again in about six months or so. I'll be coming by to check on you to see how you're doing. Alright?"

Sasuke's mouth gaped when she saw the image. Sasuke was shocked to see that her fibula was broken in half.... literally. That could explain what Obito meant when he said, "Welcome to the club, Cuz." He meant that she's going to suffer through having broken legs with him.

She thought,' Great, just what I need. Spent my days being unable to walk with my cousin.'

She asked," Tsunade?"

"Hm." Tsunade looked at her with a questioning look.

"How long will it take for my leg to heal along with my cousin, Obito?"

Tsunade thought back for a moment, and she explained," For your case, it's going to take up to six to eight months for your leg to heal. As for Obito, he broke his tibia in half from a snowmobile accident and has been standing on crutches for almost a month now. His healing process will take longer than it would be for you. So, you'd be back on your feet before your cousin would. Anymore questions?"

Sasuke shook her head. "No, that's it. I was just wondering how long it takes for a fractured bone heal."

Tsunade nodded and got up from the bed. Before she left, she looked over her shoulder and informed her patient, "By the way, you're going to be released from the hospital tomorrow afternoon."

With that, she left. Naruto, who recovered from the crash, went over to the bed and sat down in the chair, where he was before Tsunade threw him against the wall.

He looked at Sasuke in the eyes, and he told her," Sasuke, I have something I need to talk to you about. The fight from last night. Do remember how scary I looked when I came to your rescue?" Sasuke nodded. "The reason why I looked scary is because I have a demon sealed inside me; the nine-tailed fox. I discovered this back when I was eight. Everyone was afraid of me and I didn't know why until an old friend of Iruka's told me that the nine-tailed fox was sealed inside me. My godfather, Jiraiya, then told me that the fourth hokage sealed it and that I was his son. Every now and then, I tried to do whatever I can to control my temper so that the demon fox wouldn't take over like it did last night. I hope you don't hate me for this. I just thought I would tell you since you seem to understand me more than anyone ever could."

Sasuke reached her hand to his face and traced his whisker marks on his cheeks, asking," Does that explain those whisker marks you have?"

"Something like that?" Naruto replied. "Also, it explains this."

He unzipped his jacket and pulled up his shirt to reveal large markings on his stomach. Sasuke stared at it, feeling shocked. Naruto pulled down his shirt and zipped up his jacket.

Sasuke asked," So is that the seal, Naruto?"

Naruto nodded. "Yes, it is."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid you might be disgusted with me and act hostile towards me, like everyone else did."

"Naruto, I would never be disgusted with you. Never! You're my best friend, and I love you more than that."

Naruto blinked. "Really?"

Sasuke nodded. "Really."

In a moment of silence, the two started to lean in close until their lips touched, sharing a passionate kiss. They immediately pulled away when they heard the flash of the camera, and looked to find their friends cheering and clapping.

Kiba cheered. "Man, it's about time!"

"See? I knew you two would end up together." Shikamaru claimed, holding up the camera. "Now we got evidence to prove to Neji that you two are meant for each other."

Naruto and Sasuke giggled, blushing in crimson.

Sakura commented. "Awww, you two look so cute together!"

"And you make quite a cute couple!" Ino added, making a heart with her hands.

Hinata pointed out, "It was even more beautiful with the full moon in the background."

Naruto and Sasuke looked out the window behind them, and noticed the moon showing off it's lunar glow. They looked back at their friends, and Naruto admitted," Well whaddya know. It is more romantic under the moonlight." He turned to Sasuke. "I guess we're officially a couple now, huh."

Sasuke nodded. "I guess so, even though it's...." She looked at the clock. "... 10 o'clock at night."

Naruto chuckled, and held her hand, leaning in to give her a kiss on her cheek. After he did that, he let out a yawn.

Sasuke told him, "Sleep."

"Wha?" Naruto rubbed his eye.

"Sleep. You need all your strength. Just put your head down and close your eyes."

Naruto placed his head down on the bed and closed his eyes, starting to snore lightly. Sasuke stroked his hair as he slept.

OoOoOo

Next day...

In the afternoon, Sasuke is fully dressed in her usual attire, all thanks to Ino and Sakura, who brought her clothes and helped her dress. Sasuke thanked them and sat down on the bed with Ino and Sakura, waiting for Naruto and Tsunade to come back with her crutches. Sasuke is going to be released from the hospital today this afternoon, and she's excited about getting out of this boring, white room. Lying around in bed all day is really boring.

Then Kiba appeared at the door, and greeted, "Are you ready to leave this hospital, Sasuke?"

Sasuke looked up at him with an unamused expression, saying," What do you think?"

"I'll take it as a yes." Kiba gave her a half smile. Akamaru started scratching on the door, whimpering.

Kiba looked down at his dog, and he asked," You need to go to the bathroom, boy?" Akamaru barked. "Okay let's go."

He opened the door and followed his dog outside.

Sakura and Ino turned their attention to Sasuke. Sakura asked," How does it feel to be Naruto's girlfriend?"

"Yeah, tell us." Ino joined in.

Sasuke put on a small smile and told them," He makes me feel very secure whenever he's around me, he likes to do silly stunts, and he's so far the most cutest guy I've ever laid eyes on. I realized that we're total complete opposites."

"Opposites always attract!" Ino added.

Then they heard Kiba yell, "AKAMARU! I SAID MAKE IT QUICK, NOT MAKE IT NASTY!"

They laughed after he said that, and Sakura went over to the window and opened it.

She yelled," What happened out here, Kiba?"

Kiba looked back at her and yelled, "Oh, let's just say that Akamaru made a mudpie!"

Sakura knew what he meant and put on a disgusted look. "Okay, I don't want to know what it is, but thanks for not grossing me out!"

Kiba grinned and went back to his dog.

Ino asked," What was that all about?"

Sakura shook her head. "You don't want to know."

The girls heard the door open and entered the room came Tsunade and Naruto, who is carrying crutches. He set them down against the foot of the bed and went over to Sasuke. He put his arm around her waist and placed her arm over his shoulder, helping her stand up.

He said," Easy, Sasuke, easy."

Sasuke grunted as she carefully put herself back on her feet, without putting to much weight on her injured leg. Sakura held out her cructhes and Sasuke took them under her arms. Before they would leave, Tsunade stopped Naruto for a second.

She advised him," Make sure she takes those painkillers two times a day. One in the morning, one in the evening", handing him a jar of painkillers.

Naruto took the jar out of her hands and bowed to her, saying," I will. Thanks, Tsunade."

Tsunade smiled and told him," Just don't try anything funny."

Naruto shook his head humorously as he left the room. He caught up with the girls as soon as they stopped at an elevator. There was a sign on the door that says,' Out of order.'

Sakura sighed. "I guess we'll have to take the stairs."

The four members of the group started to head for the staircase that is next to the broken elevator. Sasuke started to feel a sense of anxiety as soon as they reached the stairs. Naruto said," If it makes you feel comfortable, Sasuke, I could carry you."

"That sounds like a great idea." Ino agreed, taking the crutches out of Sasuke's arms. Sasuke wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's neck as he carefully lifted her up bridal style. Naruto smiled in reassurance as he walked down the steps, being careful not to drop his girlfriend. On the way down, Sasuke couldn't help but notice how the sunlight shining through those windows gave him a nice glow. It brings out the shine in his blond hair, tan skin. and blue eyes.

"Sasuke, we're at the bottom. You can stop staring now." Naruto stated.

Sasuke was snapped out of her thoughts after he said that, and noticed that they were already at the bottom of the stairs. She blushed and told him," Sorry, it's just that in this light, you look more like an angel."

Naruto grinned. "Thanks, and so do you."

"Are you guys going to play lovey dovey all day or are we going to go to a welcome home party?" Ino impatiently asked, tapping her foot.

Naruto placed Sasuke down on the floor, and Ino held out her crutches. Sasuke took them under her arms and followed her friends out of the hospital, despite the smell of this place.

Outside, the rest of the gang were waiting on a park bench. When they saw their friends coming out of the doors, they got up and went towards them. Shikamaru asked," So, are we ready to get going? The guests have probably been waiting for hours and already starving."

Sakura nodded. "Let's go."

"Before we go, I have one question to ask Kiba." Naruto turned to Kiba. "How nasty was the 'mudpie' did Akamaru made it?"

Kiba pointed behind at the bushes behind him, and he answered," Do you really want to know? Go behind the bushes and find out!"

Naruto looked behind the bushes and screamed, "OH MY GOD!"

He came back with a grossed out look on his face.

"Well?" Kiba smirked, picking up his dog.

Naruto tried to hold his gagging reflexes, and he said," That was the most disgusting I've ever seen. It--"

"Ah ah ah... Naruto don't even go into detail 'cause I don't really want to know", Sakura interrupted, placing her hands over her ears.

"Let's just go." Shikamaru suggested.

The group started walking away from the hospital, with a grossed out Naruto and a laughing Kiba trailing behind. Along the way, Sasuke heard people talking about Orochimaru being dead. She thought,' Man, news like this spreads fast.'

She heard a nearby newspaper boy running, yelling," Get the news, everyone! Orochimaru is dead!"

Everyone in all of Konoha talked on and on about how glad they were now that Orochimaru is gone. Plus, some were giving Sasuke looks of pity, which annoyed her as such.

When the gang finally arrived at Naruto's place, Naruto took out his key and unlocked the door. They entered the house, only to be greeted by a group of people. Obito stumbled his way over to Sasuke, and greeted," Hey Sasuke, come give your cousin a hug."

Sasuke was hesitant since she's on crutches, but she hugged him anyway, despite her injury. Obito patted her on the back, saying," Yeah, that's the good stuff. Sasuke, you and I are going to go through a long recovery together. Heck, you'll be walking again before I do."

"But you broke your leg before me." Sasuke pointed out.

"Yeah, but I got the worse! I broke my tibia in half while you broke your fibula. I screamed in pain for two STRAIGHT hours while you screamed for about what 3 seconds?" Obito proclaimed.

"Well yeah! But--"

"But what? Consider yourself lucky that you'll be able to walk normal again. I'm going to be stuck with a cane for the rest of my life." Obito stated. "So yeah, my injury is much worse than yours."

After he said that, he walked off, dancing slightly to the music. Naruto placed an arm around Sasuke's shoulder, and he said," Come on, let's get you something to eat."

Sasuke was sitting on the couch with her girlfriends while Naruto went to go get her food. He came back with a plate full of food, and flashed her his famous grin.

He said," Hey hey Sasuke! Ready for a brunch?"

"Just get over here and eat!" Sasuke smiled, patting a spot on the couch between Ino and herself.

Naruto sat down next to Sasuke and placed a kiss on her lips.

He told her, "I love you, Sasuke!"

"I love you too, Naruto!" Sasuke replied.

They shared a kiss, earning stares from people around them.

A/N: Isn't that sweet? About time Sasuke and Naruto got together. Yes, Orochimaru is dead! Next chapter is going to be real sweet!
