Yet another serious chapter….where's all the good stuff?
Up you cold stone ass and around the corner!
REEEEEEEEEEEEEALYYYYY??
Yup go check!
OK
I was kidding!! Tory get back here….now…oh forget it I guess I'm narrating this chap. Basically Sasuke decides that Sakura is just an extra suitcase and is only dragging him down even though he probably will die without her. He's an insensitive jerk! But we love him and his hilarious emo-ness anyway
Chapter Ten – Sasuke's weakness"You're doing well Sakura," Shizune said, after checking Sakura over. "Now I'm going to do an ultra sound, would you like to know the sex of your baby?"
Sakura, who was laying on the examining table for her monthly check-up, shook her head and smiled. "Sasuke-kun and I promised we'd wait until it was born."
Shizune hooked up the machinery thingy and spread the cool gel stuff on Sakura's large stomach. (Most intelligent sentence in the world I know). Sakura shivered.
"Hmmm…stupid machine," Shizune said after a minute. "I can't make anything out. Must be broken or something."
"There's nothing wrong with the baby right?" Sakura cried, struggling to sit up. Everything had been a struggle lately, mostly because of the unaccustomed extra weight.
"No…well I'm pretty sure," Shizune sounded a tad uncertain. "I can't see it, but everything else checks out ok."
"I hope you're right…for your sake," Sakura said, glaring and trying to control her irritation.
Suddenly there was a commotion down the hall in the emergency room. Someone was yelling loudly; too loudly to understand what he or she was saying.
Sakura strained her ears and actually began to lean forward in an attempt to hear what was going on. She caught little bits and piece that didn't make sense, and then finally the words became clear.
"WHERE IS SHE?"
That voice, Sakura thought. I know it.
"Sasuke stop that!" another voice just as familiar as the first, but different chimed in, somehow managing to sound exasperated, tired, and angry all at the same time.
"I'M GOING TO-"
"CALM THE HELL DOWN! SHE'S NOT FUCKING HERE SASUKE! GET THAT THROUGHT YOUR THICK SKULL! DO YOU HAVE A BRAIN UNDERNEATH IT?"
"SHE IS HERE! I CAN SENSE HER CHAKRA YOU IDIOT!"
"Uchiha," Tsunade now joined the conversation. "You're not in the right sate if mind. Get some rest and-"
"I WANT TO KILL HER! IT'S ALL HER FAULT!"
"Sasuke-kun," Sakura pushed herself up and jumped off the table. She ran (well waddled) down the hall and into the emergency room.
Sasuke was standing in the middle of the room with blood running down his arms. The curse mark was half wrapped around his face bare torso (his shirt lay a few feet away ripped to shreds), Naruto was lying on a stretcher not far away covered in blood, but trying to get up nonetheless. Sakura couldn't help but notice the strangle angle at which his arm was bent or the huge rip in his jacket that exposed a gash the length of a pencil and the width of half of a bento box. Forcing herself to turn away, she faced Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun!"
Sasuke turned and with a great swing of his arm hurled her across the room, looking pleased when she crashed into an unused stretcher. It rolled and slammed against the wall compelling her onto the ground with a sickening thud.
"YOU ARE MY WEAKNESS," Sasuke roared. "I COULD HAVE…I WOULD HAVE…you…"
Sakura crawled over to him and with a burst of Chakra to increase her strength, pulled Sasuke down to her level. She heaved him onto his back ignoring his thrashing and foul language. (She's been called worse) She got his head in a firm headlock and stared into his deep Sharingan eyes as his arms and legs flailed helplessly.
"Sasuke you are not doing anything but cause everyone problems right now," Sakura said sternly. "Naruto and I only want to be there for you, so cut the bull shit. I have no idea what happened on your mission, but you have no excuse to behave like this. Think. You have a girlfriend who loves you and a baby on the way. You have a life and friends who care about you. What reason do you have for unleashing this fury on those who are trying to help you? You are not alone anymore and I will not allow you to continue this."
Sasuke's expression went from anger to sadness to ashamed guilt and finally his eyes faded from red to black and he stopped struggling. The curse mark swirled back into place, the binding seal reappearing, and his body went limp, his onyx eyes sliding peacefully shut.
"I'm sorry," he murmured before the tranquility of sleep claimed his mind.
Sakura released her headlock and pulled Sasuke's head onto her lap, stroking his hair. "You're forgiven," she murmured. Though she knew he couldn't hear her, she swore she saw a faint trace of a satisfied smirk on his lips.
AN: sorry for the delay between chapters…between planning for SakuraCon 2008 and school, there hasn't been much time to work on this…the Con was awesome…I went as Tobi cuz Tobi's a good boy…anyway I'm really sorry for the wait-it won't happen again (I hope)!!
