Mona looked into the vile and smiled. She completed the second elixir and now all she had to do was take it to Naruto so he could give it to Sakura. With a smile, she jumped off the stool and ran over to the door. 'Alright….now all I have to do is find Naruto-kun…' She thought as she ran out of the closet. The 11 year old looked around the room and raised a brow. "Hmm…Now that I think about it…" She mumbled as she walked out of the room.

"What way did they go?"


Cheero couldn't find anybody. She walked out and turned left, but found no body. She stopped and turned around. 'Maybe they went right…' She thought as she started running again. Her red eyes narrowed as she ran past a few cells. Then she heard screaming. Soon after that she felt like a thousand elephants were on her shoulders. He knees hit the ground and she gasped for air. 'What Is this….' The pink haired girl thought as her hands hit the floor as well.

She looked up with trouble and saw someone in the distance. They were struggling as well and seemed to be holding someone's arm. They were standing though. 'That must be the source of this pressure…' Cheero thought as she tried to stand. She held out her hand and ice formed a spear in her hand. 'I'll get them….' She lifted her arm and pulled it back; ready to throw but then she realized who it was.

It was Sakura

"She's doing this?!" Cheero yelped as her hand and spear hit the ground. Then she saw that Naruto was the one holding her arm. "There's the blond!" She yelled to herself as she started to get back up. "Damn it! That means Mona's nearby!" Her eyes narrowed and she started to crawl. Until Sakura noticed her. Cheero stopped and Naruto looked over as well. The man next to the blond was still looking at the floor, since that's all he could do.

Cheero then smiled. She would just tell Talaya to get rid of them. "Talaya!" She called, making the pink haired girl try to step back. "G-get rid of them!" She then ordered. Sakura's eyes widened slightly and she looked at the blond. She remembered how important the girl was to him and thought. It started to rain again. "What? Talaya what are you doing?!"

"You may have put me in this body." Sakura growled from across the hall. "But you cannot boss me around!" She then yelled with narrowed eyes. Naruto glanced over and then looked at Sakura.

"Sa—I mean…Talaya!" He called. She looked over and raised a brow. "That girl over there tried to kill us." He told her. Sakura looked over at the other pink haired girl and kept her brow raised. "Talaya…we're on the good side…not her." The blond then told her. "You're…not an evil goddess…are you?"

"No…" Sakura answered as the tension in the room cleared away. The group was able to stand again, but Sakura only made her way to Cheero. "So…is this what's this is about?" She asked as she pointed to herself. "You summon me down here and fuse me into a human body only for you selfish and evil deeds?"

"I...I…I..." All Cheero could do was stutter to the woman as she approached closer. Evil? Was it necessarily evil what Godsmin wanted? Or was it just to create something that didn't exist on this planet? Cheero didn't know anymore. Talaya's blade surrounded Sakura's arm as she came closer. The younger pinkette had no idea what to say. She was breaking down. She couldn't remember anything from Godsmin's book.

"NO STAY BACK!!" Cheero screamed at the other pink haired girl. She stopped and blinked as Cheero grabbed her head; eyes wide and shaking in fear. Naruto and Kakashi looked over in a puzzled way as well. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!" She screamed as she took a few steps back.

"Naruto-kun"

Naruto looked to the left and saw Mona peeking through Cheero's bedroom door. "I heard yelling…so I came back out." She muttered as she ran over. "I'm so glad it's you…here." She held up the elixir with a smile.

"Thank you Mona."

The blond took the vile and looked in Sakura and Cheero's direction. "What's going on?" Mona asked as she looked too. "Why is Nee-Chan screaming….and she looks terrible….what happened?"

"I don't know…" Naruto answered as he started walking. He walked all the way over to Sakura holding the vile carefully in his hands. If something were to happen….he wouldn't drop it…no matter what. "Talaya…" He muttered as he set a hand on her shoulder. She spun around as soon as it happened and the next thing he felt was a pain in his lower chest. His eyes now looking over the pinkette's shoulder and on the broken down sister of Mona.

"NARUTO!!!!"

Mona's eyes were the same as Cheero's as she started running, but someone grabbed her and held her down. "No! Mona…wait a second, Talaya is dangerous!" Gobi barked as he held the 11 year old down. She was crying at the sight of the blade rising from Naruto's back. Kakashi on the other hand noticed something else. Sakura's eyes were wide…and she was crying; thus making it rain more…

Naruto gripped the vile of elixir so it wouldn't drop out of his weak hands. This happened last time….but seemed to hurt worse. Maybe it was because she had more control…or the spot she hit this time was much more fatal then last time. He lifted his head a little along with the hand that held her bloody arm. Then when his lips were next to her ear, he set the hand he lifted on her cheek. His eyes were fading and he could no longer see Cheero. "Sakura-Chan…" He muttered; making her eyes widen slightly. "Don't give up…I…I still love you."

Mona's eyes widened even more when his limbs fell. Sakura shut her eyes letting tears pour out and tore the blade out. A hand prink of his blood still on her face. As the blond hit the ground she turned around and growled at the other pinkette. "See what you've done to this happy couple?!" She yelled. "This woman…she's screaming in my head right now!" She knelt down and grabbed the vile in Naruto's hands before standing up. "I'm going to get rid of you…then I will be taking my leave."

Everyone's eyes widened and before anything else could happen, Cheero took off running. Sakura growled and took off after her not even noticing the tiny puddle of blood Naruto lay in. "Naruto-kun!" Mona called out with tears. Though you probably wouldn't tell they were tears since the rain was still pouring. Gobi finally let go of her and she ran over to the blond, and then she flipped him over. "Open your eyes Naruto!" She yelled, but he didn't respond. Kakashi and Gobi made their way over after a moment. "Naruto! Please! Talaya said she was going to leave…Sakura needs you!! You can't leave her!!"

"Mona…" Kakashi muttered as he set a hand on her shoulder. "I'm going to go get Tsunade." He then told her. "Keep his vitals up until I return." Mona nodded and he ran off. Then she looked at the blond again. The rain had stopped but his blood flow hadn't.

"What do we do Gobi?" She asked while tearing up even more. "He keeps bleeding and neither of us are medic ninja…I don't think I can keep him alive long enough before they get here…." She looked at Gobi with very sad eyes.

"Knowing your sister…." He muttered as he looked at Cheero's room. "She probably has something that will help." He stood up and ran in, leaving the 11 year old alone with the dying 18 year old.

When the older man entered the secret room behind the closet, he immediately went to tearing up the drawers and book cases. He wasn't going to see Mona break down again. When her parents died it took him years to get a smile from her. He wasn't going to let that happen again.

Gobi flipped through the book the 11 year old found the elixir. He looked for something Naruto could maybe drink or Mona could put into his wound to help. It took a long time since it was a huge book. Then he found one. A Healing tea. It was supposed to heal a wound but not as fast as a medic ninja…but it's all he had so he set the book down and grabbed what he needed.

Gobi grabbed a tea cup and a beaker. He boiled a cup of water over a burner and waited. He grabbed some dried thyme from a drawer and poured a half teaspoon of it in the tea cup. Then he grabbed the boiling water and poured it into the cup, before stirring. Then he waited. It told him to wait ten minutes. He knew Naruto would survive for at least 20 more minutes so he could wait. When it was done, he strained it out and carefully took it out to the two outside.

"Here…" Gobi said as he walked over. "Sit him up so he can drink this." He said to her. Mona nodded and lifted Naruto up; enough were it wouldn't cause him too much pain. If it did, he didn't show it. "Naruto…." Gobi said to the blond. "I need you to focus and take a drink of this. It might not taste good…but it will keep you alive long enough for Tsunade to arrive." Naruto tried to nod, but was too weak. Then Gobi nodded back and held the tea cup close to the others lips.

He lifted it and poured a little in Naruto's mouth and the blonde seemed to swallow with no problem. "There you go…" Mona mumbled. She was smiling now….feeling relieved. Naruto made a face telling them both that the tea wasn't good at all; making the 11 year old slightly giggle. Then she set him down. She could already tell he was feeling better.

"Thank you Gobi-kun." Mona said with a smile. Her guardian smiled with a nod and leaned on the wall. All they had to do was wait now. For Kakashi and Tsunade to arrive. Once Naruto was in their hands, they were going to go and help Sakura…or should I say…Talaya.
