((DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto. Just writing a story with Naruto character. Chillax.))
Since Tenten and Sakura are staying another night here, I might as well do the same.
Chapter 11: Gone
"Do you have everything sir?" A young nurse asked.
"Yeah, I have everything." I responded. The nurse looked to me with seductive eyes before leaning in closer to me. I could tell from her nurse-uniform that she unbuttoned a few to show some skin. I didn't flinch, and my face had no interested at all. She continues to lean forward towards me, our bodies almost touching.
"Do you want me to give you a quick check-up before you discharge from the hospital?" She asked, her lips puckering as she talked.
"He'll pass that." An angry voice answered. Both the nurse and I turned and saw a furious Sakura standing at the frame of the door.
The nurse rolled her eyes at Sakura while putting her manicured hands on my back, "Come visit and we'll take care of that check-up." She whispered before sliding her hands off my back. As the nurse left, Sakura quickly stormed to me, her face pink as her hair.
"Sasuke-kun, what was that?" Sakura asked, demanding to know. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Can't you tell? She was hitting on me." I said, stating the obvious. Sakura face quickly turns to a pout seeing how calm I was.
"So you just let her do it?" She asked.
I looked to her, raising one of my eyebrows slightly, "Why are you so worked up for? It's not like I flirted back." I said.
"You could've pushed her away!"
"Why would I do that?"
"Just because!" Sakura countered.
"You sound like a jealous girlfriend, Sakura." I said, putting my backpack on. After saying that, Sakura was quiet for a second to finally process how she was behaving. She gave a sigh as she relaxed herself.
"Are you going to come back here, Sasuke?" She asked, her eyes wandering to me as if she was hesitate to ask. I looked to her.
"Maybe." I answered shortly. And of course… Sakura exploded once again.
"WHY!" Sakura screamed. "TO SEE THE NURSE SLUT?" I pushed my hands against my ears to block out her screams.
"I'm saying 'maybe' because I might actually come back here if I was injured again." I said logically. "Calm down."
A sigh of relief left Sakura lips. Suddenly catching Sakura's attention a vibration rang in her purse. She quickly pulls the cell phone out and answered it. With a few short responses, she hung up and looked to me.
"My mom is here to pick me up." Sakura said. "Do you want a ride?"
I shook my head. "Nah, it's alright." I said. "I'm taking a cab."
Sakura nods before gathering her things together. With a quick wave she headed towards the exit. Instantly a thought came to be. "Sakura!" I called quickly. She turns around.
"Yeah?" She asks, adjusting the purse straps over her shoulder.
"Do you know where Tenten is?" I asked.
"She already left early before we woke up." She answered. Once she answered, for some reason I felt disappointed. I nodded.
"Thanks Sakura, see you at school tomorrow." I said, giving a small wave. Sakura smiled before heading out the door.
Once Sakura left, I was finally alone in the hospital room. My feet shifted backwards to drop my body on the bed. Feeling the white sheets against my skin and the cushions supporting my body gave me a sense of comfort. I closed my eyes, recapturing the memories I had in this hospital. The place I met Neiji, the place where I was angry at Tenten for the first time… and the place I met Naru—
"Hurry!" a voice yelled in the hallway. I got up from my laying position and saw nurses running past my door towards the surgery department. I stood up in curiosity and walked towards the door to see more nurses scurrying in the same directions with different medical items in their hands.
Suddenly I felt my chest tightening when a thought hit me. Then, from the corner of my eyes, I see an old patient in a wheel chair watching also as the nurses run pass us.
"What's going on?" I asked to the old man. The man turns to my direction.
"A patient is having difficulty with his surgery." He responded. My chest tightens even more. "It seems his surgery to take out a tumor is not going as well as everyone planned."
After the man spoke, my legs moved on its own. I jolted towards the surgery department, following the nurses. Once I finally got to the surgery room, I opened the door witnessing doctors surrounding a table.
On the table was Naruto.
"You shouldn't be here!" One of the guy nurses yelled. He pulled my body away while I try to push him back.
"Naruto!" I yelled, subconsciously. "Naruto!"
I didn't know why I was calling his name. I didn't even know why I'm here… but all my body could do was to screaming Naruto's name continuously.
As the man restrained my body, my eyes were set on Naruto. My mind was blank but my body was still, trying to get away from the man's grasp.
Suddenly a sound had stopped all the chaos... A long deafening beep blocked everyone's voices and noise. It was as if time had stopped. All I could hear was that beep. Shifting my eyes, I gaze at Naruto's life generator.
The endless beep created the lifeless line on the screen.
My voice didn't come out.
My body turned to stone.
And my heart was screaming in pain.
Naruto.
