"Well, that takes care of that." Sabishii said, sliding off Shine. She landed gracefully on the ground and turned to face them "From here on, we'll be traveling by foot." She said.
"But wouldn't it be faster to travel by riding Shine?" asked Naruto.
"Well yes, but an animal as big as Shine could leave a very obvious trail, even with being careful." She stated. "And we wouldn't want to run into anymore trouble, now would we?" she asked, already knowing the obvious answer.
"Well, you do have a point." Naruto said, sliding off Shine. Sasuke released his hold on Shine. He looked down at Sakura, who was still holding onto him tightly.
"You can let go now." He said. Sakura blushed lightly as she let go.
"R-right. Sorry Sasuke." She said, not looking him in the eyes. He jumped off, landing just as gracefully as Sabishii. He then turned around, hand held out. Sakura looked at it, confused at what he was doing.
He sighed. "Do you want me to help you down or not?" he asked impatiently.
She blushed a little more. "Oh, um, right." She muttered. She took his hand, and he gently pulled her off of Shine. She landed on her feet, making a soft sound on the grass. She stood up straight, but then immediately wished she hadn't, for she felt dizzy and weak. A blur of colors melted to black in her vision as she slowly fell forward. Sasuke caught her by the waist, surprised at how light she had gotten since he had left. He knelt so that she was lying in his arms, head resting against his shoulder.
"Sakura? Hey Sakura wake up." said Sasuke, shaking her shoulder gently.
"Sasuke?" asked Sabishii, a questioning look in her eyes as she came over. She knelt down in front of Sasuke.
"Oi teme, what's wrong with Sakura?" asked Naruto ,coming over quickly.
"I don't know. One minute she was fine, the next she just collapsed." Sasuke said. Sabishii gently nudged Sakura out of his arms and laid her on the ground. She placed her hands over Sakura's stomach. All of a sudden, yellow chakra flared around her hands as she slowly searched for the cause of Sakura's collapse.
"Well what is it?" asked Naruto, voice heavy with worry.
"Don't worry she's fine." Sabishii answered, quickly changing the color of the chakra from a bright yellow to a grass green. "She just has some small internal bleeding with a few cuts and bruises here and there." She frowned slightly, adding her own snow white spirit chakra to the green, creating a swirling pattern of green and white to form around her hands.
"What is it?" asked Sasuke, staring intently at the healing procedure being done.
"Well, it seems like she used up a lot of chakra during the fight. Combining that with her injuries, it's no wonder she fainted." Said Sabishii, still concentrated on Sakura. "What's odd is that most of the her chakra went towards medical jutsu, though her body shows very little accelerated healing."
"Wait, how do you know that?" asked Naruto.
"You remember that yellow chakra?" she asked. They nodded. "That's a special jutsu used by medic nins. Most times, though, it's used by beginners."
"How come?" asked Naruto.
"Well, that jutsu helps indentify and cause of pain, illness, or death. When a medic nin is just beginning, they usually aren't able to identify what's wrong with a person immediately, unlike an experienced one. So, they use that jutsu to identify what it is until they know the symptoms like the back of their hand. However, this jutsu can also tell how much chakra a person has left, how the chakra was used, and if the chakra system has been damaged. In which case, sometimes even experienced medic nins still use that jutsu." She explained, finishing up her work. She stood up, brushing the dust from her pants.
"Sasuke." She said casually.
"Yeah?" he asked, wondering what she could want.
"Let me perform the jutsu on you. I have a feeling that Sakura used her medical skills on you." Sabishii said calmly.
"What makes you think that?" asked Sasuke just as calmly.
"Well, you're the only one who had the slightest chance of having her use a medical jutsu on you, considering you were with her during the fight." Sabishii explained.
"Alright then." He said. Sabishii came closer to him. She placed her hands over his chest.
"This may feel a little strange." She said. All of a sudden, the yellow chakra flared up and Sasuke felt like something was inside him, searching and probing for some unseen answer. It ended as quickly as it had started.
"Well?" asked Naruto.
"There is no doubt about it. Sakura's chakra has definitely been used on him to heal wounds." Sabishii said.
"So, what do we do about Sakura?" asked Naruto, pointing towards his unconscious teammate.
A mischievous glint appeared in Sabishii's eyes. "Well, since Sasuke is the reason why she's like this, I say that he should be the one to watch over her." She said.
Sasuke's eyes widened slightly. "So that's my punishment?" he thought. He looked over at Sakura, who was still unconscious on the ground. "Sounds fair enough."
"What?! But I want to be the one to watch over Sakura!" whined Naruto. Sasuke smirked at the blonde's childish behavior.
"Don't worry Naruto. Since Sasuke'll be going ahead of us to the camp, he won't be able to hear me explain that jutsu I used." She said.
Sasuke stiffened. "So that's the real punishment. Very clever." He thought.
"Really? I get to learn about it before teme?" asked Naruto excitedly. Sabishii nodded. "Yes! In your face Sasuke!" yelled Naruto, doing a little victory dance. Sasuke ignored his antics while he went to Sakura. He picked her up bridal style and turned to Sabishii.
"So, where am I going?" he asked.
Don't worry. Shine knows the way. Right Shine?" she asked the big panther. He nodded in agreement.
"Alright then." He jumped onto Shine, placing Sakura securely against him. Shine then bound through the trees, growing smaller and smaller every passing second.
"Come on Naruto. We better cover their trail." Sabishii said when Shine had completely disappeared.
"You got it!" said Naruto as he followed Sabishii down the trail.
