(Last Time)

"Yeah, your right Ashia, I will try that. Thanks. Now I got to go find him. Bye." She said as she got up and left. I waved behind her before I turned my attention back to Naruto. He was still lying on the floor but I noticed something that scared me. There was a red liquid coming from the back of his head. "Naruto?"

(Now: Naruto's P.O.V)

I regained what I thought was consciousness and opened my eyes but when I opened my eyes I did not see Ashia or our place. It was all white. "Where am I?" I asked to no one in particular. I started walking but it didn't look like I was moving at all. "What happened? Why am I here? Where is Ashia?" All of these questions were running through my mind. Soon I saw another figure ahead of me. By their shape I can tell it was a woman. She looked like kind of familiar to me and I studied her more. I slowed down a little as I came closer to her and noticed she had red hair. I walked up behind her and asked "Who are you?" She turns around and I take a few steps back. "Mom?" I said as my eyes start to water.

Ashia's P.O.V.

I was in an ambulance heading to the hospital with Naruto. He fell and hit his head harder then I first thought. After a few minutes of him not waking up and me trying everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, I called 911 instead of waiting in case it was something serious. The ride to the hospital was not bad, it was pretty quiet. I was told that he has a concussion and they don't know when he would wake up. If he doesn't wake up then he is in a coma. Great this was turning into a wonderful weekend _.

Naruto's P.O.V.

"Mom? Mom!" I hugged her as tight as could and I never wanted to let her go. I didn't even realize that I was crying until I went to rub my nose. "Hello Naruto. You have gotten so big. How have you been?" I let her go and took a step back. "I have been ok since you and dad died in the car accident." "I see you met a girl at school too." I looked up with a blush on my face. "How did you know that?" "I am your mother, it's my job. That and I have been watching over you." "Oh..um yeah I really like her. I think you would have too if you two had a chance to meet." I said as a smiled formed on my face while I was thinking about Ashia. "I can tell by the look on the face it goes way past liking her. You love her Naruto." I scratched the back of my head. "I do. She always makes me happy no matter what mood I am in and when I want to talk her about you guys she is ready to listen. Especially since she has been through the same thing with her parents." "She sounds perfect for you. And I see that she also has red hair." My face went blank as I thought about it. My mother was right my girlfriend does have the same color hair as her. "I guess that runs in the family huh?" I joked. She chuckled and nodded. "She is really nice from what I can see. Your grades have improved and you are getting into less trouble at school now. We could have used years ago when you almost got expelled." We both laughed and enjoyed talking to each other for the time we had together.

Ashia's P.O.V.

I have been in Naruto's hospital room for about 2 hours now and he still has not woken up. He has smiled for a second but then his face went back blank. My mind started to wonder and I started thinking of all the possibility that could make Naruto smile in his sleep. The list was so long that after a few seconds I gave up. I was sitting in a chair right next to his bed and I was holding his hand. Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, and Kiba stopped by a while ago to see how he was feeling. Sakura and Sasuke went to get something to eat and they should be back in a few minutes but Hinata and Kiba left to go back to his place. I wish them all the luck. Just then Sasuke and Sakura walked in the room. "Ashia I have to go and take care of something but I will be back in about 15 minutes." Sasuke said as soon as he set foot in the room. I looked at him and nodded and he gave Sakura a kiss on the cheek before he left. Sakura walked towards Naruto and started running her hand through his hair. "He like an annoying little brother. I never thought I would see him like this in the hospital and without knowing what caused him to pass out." "I thought it was because of what Hinata and I were talking about but I found out that is not the reason. It's like something out of nowhere knocked him out." I said as I placed my hand on his cheek.

Naruto's P.O.V.

"Naruto I enjoyed talking to you and I am glad to see how much you have grown and matured but it is time for you to go back. Ashia is waiting for you." She lets out a small chuckle "She really loves you. I'm glad you let go of Sakura, I don't think you two would have done well together especially with her always hitting you." I laugh as I rub the back of my head sheepishly. "Yeah your right. It was great seeing you one last time mom. I love you so much." "I love you too Naruto and I am very proud of you. Always remember that." Kushina started to fade and the white turned to black. Soon I felt someone rubbing my face and I started to hear the steady beat of something. I assumed it was an alarm clock and I tried to open my eyes.

Ashia's P.O.V.

I was rubbing Naruto's cheek caringly when I saw him scrunch his face a little as he tried to open his eyes. "Naruto?" I said as a ray of hope filled my heart. Sakura turned her attention from the medical book she was reading to Naruto. He let out a soft moan and she went to get the doctor while I stood and stared intently at his face.

Naruto's P.O.V

Before I even opened my eyes I felt my head throbbing. I heard Ashia calling my name and I slowly let my eyes flutter open. It was great having Ashia be the first thing I see when I opened my eyes. I smiled softly as Sakura came into the room with a doctor. It was then that I noticed that i was not home but in the hospital...again. He came in and checked my vitals and said "It looks like he is going to be fine. He just needs some rest then he can go home very soon." A smile spread across Ashia's face and Sakura looked relived. "What happened?" I asked weaker than I thought I was. "You passed out for an unknown reason." Sakura was the first to reply. She looked at Ashia and gave a knowing smile before she stepped out. "I am going to call Sasuke and tell him that Naruto is awake." I watched her leave before I turned my attention back to Ashia. I noticed that her eyes were shining like if she was excited about something.

Ashia's P.O.V.

He is awake! He is finally awake. I know he hasn't been out that long but for me, someone who is in love with him, it seems like years. "H-Hey." I whispered when we were alone. I couldn't stop the smile that was forming on my face. His hand came up and covered mine and I intertwined out fingers. "How do you feel?" "I feel like someone hit my head with an 18 wheeler." he replied with a soft chuckle. I smiled and I brought my forehead to his and stayed like that for a moment. "I thought I was going to lose you." I whispered. "Hehe you can't get rid of me that easily." We both laughed "I wouldn't want to." I leaned down and gave him a soft kiss. "How can I die knowing I won't be able to do that again?" We laughed and the doctor can in looking at a clip board. "Mr. Uzumaki looks like everything is fine. We are going to keep you here for about an hour or two and then you are free to go home." "Thank you doc." He said gracefully before the doctor gave a slight bow and left. "That's good news." I said as I crawled in the bed with him snuggling closer and I turned on the TV so something can distract us from the rough day this turned out to be.
