-Chapter 9- Anything for You-

My whole body ached. My eyes hurt to open, but I forced them open anyway.

It was dark, so it took a while until my eyes focused.

I wanted to rub my eyes, but both my arms felt like they were heavy pieces of lead.

"Where am I?" I said, not even expecting an answer back.

"You're in the hospital." A voice said.

I looked toward the voice, and my cheeks grew hot.

It was Sasuke.

"I thought you left. Not…that I'm complaining, or anything." I said.

"I came back after you disappeared." He said.

I wonder if he's been here the whole time….knowing him it's unlikely.

"Were you…um, the one who came to save me?" I asked, cautiously.

"Hn." He grunted.

He could give me a yes or no answer.

"I'm so sorry." I said looking away from him.

"For what?" He asked.

"For making you come home." I hiccupped.

"It's fine." He said.

"Sasuke…Sakura." I heard Tsunades soft voice.

"Hn." Sasuke grunted.

I looked back.

Tsunade was at the door. Sasuke was sitting in the chair, arms crossed, glaring at Tsunade.

"Are you two arguing?" She asked.

"No." I said.

"Ok Sasuke can you leave us?" She asked in a polite tone.

He nodded once and then he walked out of the room.

Tsunade closed the door.

"He's by your side since you came in four days ago. He hasn't left you, except for health issues because I yelled at him." She said looking at my charts.

"Seriously?" I asked her in disbelief.

"Do you think I'd lie to you Sakura?" She said.

"No." I muttered.

"Ok now relax. I have to finish healing you. You should be able to go home in the morning." She said.

"What…OW...time is it?" I winced as she put the anesthetic needle into my arm.

"I really think you may be the one to save Sasuke from his dark chamber."

That was the last thing I heard before I drifted.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The chirping of birds brought me back.

I opened my eyes and closed them again.

Too bright

"So your finally awake are you?" I heard Sasukes voice.

"Yeah, but I wish I wasn't." I yawned.

I opened one and saw him smirk in my direction.

Damn hot….sexy bastard

I inwardly growled and sat up relieved that I don't hurt anymore.

Yes!

I smiled. He raised an eyebrow.

I got out of bed and realized I was in a hospital gown.

"Eh…er...um." I stammered.

He held a bag in front of my face.

"Ino dropped it off before you woke up." He said.

For some reason I hugged him before grabbing the bag and going into the bathroom.

-Sasuke-

I stood there, dumbfounded, as she went into the bathroom.

Why did she hug me?

"Sasuke?" I heard her yell.

I opened the door slightly, refusing to look inside.

"Hm?" I said.

"Do you have a rubber band or something?" She asked.

There was a bunch on the nightstand next to her bed.

I quickly grabbed a few and placed them with her clothing.

"I put them with your clothes." I stated.

"Ok. Thankyou!" She giggled.

"Hn." I said, and slowly close the door.

"What were you doing?" I jumped at his voice. I hadn't even heard him.

"Jeeze Naruto! I wasn't doing anything." I mumbled.

"Uh huh. Sure." He snickered.

"Shut up." I snarled.

"Well I was hoping to give these to Sakura, but I have to go so can you?" He asked. He handed me a bouquet of roses and a card.

"Hinata felt bad that she couldn't come to see her, so she told me to get them and give them to her." He said.

"Alright." I said as he placed them on the nightstand.

"Tell her I stopped by." He said and ducked out of the room.

Soon after, I heard the water shut off.

I look over at the roses. They were in full bloom and really pretty. There must have been at least 13 of them.

"What are you looking at?" I heard Sakuras voice.

I turned and looked at her.

She was drying her hair, dressed in a pair of tight jeans and a black v-neck tank top.

"Naruto stopped by to drop these off." I said pointing to the roses.

She put down her towel and put her hair up. Walking over near me she picked up the roses, smelling them.

"Oh! There are so pretty." She admired them.

[Twitch Twitch

"What's wrong with you?" She noticed, picking up the card.

"Nothing." I said.

"Aww it's from Hinata too!" She picked up the card, reading it though.

"Sakura-chan!" I heard someone's voice.

Tenten-san!" Sakura squealed when she turned around. She hugged her tightly.

"I rushed over as soon as Lady Tsunade told me you were here." She said.

"Yeah. And she dragged me along." Neji muttered, coming fully into the room.

"Aw, Neji-san!" She said and hugged him as well.

"It's nice to see you Sakura-chan." He said while hugging her back.

[Twitch Twitch Twitch

"Hey Sasuke." They said to me.

I nodded.

"We are getting ready to leave, so we'll see you later." Sakura said.

"Ok," Tenten said, grabbing Neji's hand, "See you later guys."

They left without another word.

-Sakura-

As soon as Tenten and Neji left I felt Sasuke at my side, his hand wrapped around my arm.

"What is your relationship with Neji?" He snapped, my forehead becoming clammy.

"Whoa Sasuke! Calm down, "I said, wrenching my back away from his grip," Neji is my friend. He's married to Tenten, my other friend."

"Oh." He said, becoming relaxed once more.

Over protective much?

I finished packing up the rest of my stuff while Sasuke sat near by, arms crossed. He was watching me intently as if I was about to fall over at any minute.

"Ok. I'm ready to go home now." I said, and went to pick up my bag. Before I could move again, he had it in his hand and standing by the door.

"Let's go." He said, and I walked by his side, in uncomfortable silence.

Once we were checked out, we were on our way home.

I put the roses in a vase, and set it in the living room with the card.

"This room really needs to be cleaned." I said coughing. I opened the blinds and the sun came in.

"It looks better in here already." I clapped my hand together, pleased.

Sasuke grunted again and went into the kitchen.

I head upstairs to put my things away.

[DING DONG

"I got it!" I yelled and rushed down the steps.

Sasuke leaned in the doorway smirking. I felt that he was enjoying me staying here.

I opened the door, to see Ino, Tenten and Hinata.

"Congratulations Sakura!" They all jumped on me at once, yelling.

Ok I'm sorry it took so long to get it out because my computer is still not working. I Hope to get it fixed soon but idk with my mom cuz she's pretty pissed it's broken. But thanks to my friends (You're welcome!) that put this chapter up for me. So yea say thanks to them…. (Ray really. Lol)
