"Shit."

Sasuke's heart was pounding as he swore under his breath. He was trying to get to the hospital as fast as he could. There had been no time to call his limo so he had called a taxi. Mr. Horichi had had a fit with him, but Sasuke didn't give a damn. He needed to see Sakura.

-

"Can't you drive any faster?"

"Kid, we're stuck in traffic. This is gonna last for hours."

-

Damn it, damn it, DAMN IT!!!!

Sasuke couldn't sit still anymore. He threw open the cab door and ran.

-

"HEY! THIS ISN'T A FREE RIDE YOU SON OF A…"

-

Sasuke quickly moved out of hearing range. All he could think about was seeing Sakura.

The Uchiha was running too fast. As he whipped around a corner, he heard a screech. An old white jeep stepped on the brakes, but was not fast enough. Sasuke was hit, rolled over the top of the car, and fell to the ground. He struggled but got up. Sasuke ran limply. He couldn't stop.

There was pain rushing through his whole body. And yet the Uchiha kept running.

Just two more blocks. Come…on…

Sasuke didn't care that people were staring at him. He didn't care that they looked at him as if he were some teen that had gotten himself high. He was focusing on staying conscious. Conscious enough to see Sakura.

Sasuke's carelessness got the better of him again. He was hit on the leg by another vehicle, a Porsche this time.

I can see it.

Sasuke had spotted the hospital and was sprinting to its front doors. He ran through nurses, doctors, and patients. He saw a familiar raven haired man walking down the crowded corridor.

-

"ITACHI!"

-

The said man turned around. Sasuke nearly collided into him.

-

"What the fuck Sasuke?! You look like shit."

"Yeah, yeah, I got hit by a car—where's Sakura?!"

"A CAR? You need to get yourself checked out first—"

"No, I'm—"

"Come on we need to get you a room."

"No seriously I—"

"Nurse! Come and help—"

"DAMMIT I SAID I WAS OKAY!!!!"

"…"

"WHERE…IS…SAKURA?!"

-

Itachi stared at Sasuke for a long time.

-

"…Room 213, second floor."

-

Sasuke didn't even bother to thank the older Uchiha. He dashed down the halls, up the stairs, through other injured patients and finally burst through Room 213.

The boy slowed to a stop and froze. Sasuke stared at the figure lying on the bed. The girl's face was so purple and black, it was nearly unrecognizable. Her hair was a matted mess framing her too pale face. The rest of her mangled body was covered by a thin white sheet.

Sasuke slowly stepped toward her. Gently, he brushed a lock of pink hair off her forhead. His eyes were half lidded, showing a deep incomprehensible emotion. He just stood there, next to her, waiting to see her green eyes open again. He didn't even care if she beat him to death for ditching her today. He just wanted her to wake up.

It seemed like hours. Then, sometime in the middle of the night, the leveled beating of her heart quickened dangerously. A group of doctors and nurses rushed into the room. For 30 minutes they tried to stabilize the girl's heart. Then, suddenly, it stopped.

-

"…"

"Time of death, 3:00 a.m. Cause, fatal injuries."

-

A young blonde nurse disconnected the wire that was suppose to detect the beating of the body's heart. She covered the corpse's face with a white sheet and left with the others.

Sasuke stood by himself. Ever so stiffly he strolled toward the body. He lifted the sheet and gave a brief kiss to her forehead. Then, without another word, he left the room.

-

It's so dark.

-

W-where am I?

-

why do I hear sirens?

-

am I…dead?

-

nope, not even close!

-

(wince)…Owwww…your right, this is WAY to painful to be heaven.

-

-

Sakura slowly opened her eyes. There was a white cloth covering her face.

What the hell?!

Sakura removed the sheet and looked around the room. At first, all she could see was white. White lights, white sheets, white curtains, white bed, white pillow, and…a white gown?

What the fuck am I wearing?

Sakura tried to move her arm but winced as she felt a sharp stab of pain. As the pink haired girl looked down, she noticed that her arm was in a sling. There was an aching in her chest whenever she breathed. Her legs were immobilized and nearly two-thirds of her body was bandaged in some kind of gauze. Overall, Haruno was in deep pain.

As Sakura sat up, she noticed a medical sheet sitting next to her table.

-

Haruno Sakura.

Time entered: 1:00 p.m.

Time of death: 3:00 a.m.

Cause of death: fatal injuries

To be sent to local morgue: 12:00 noon

-

Sakura read the list over and over again. She flipped through the sheets that contained her medical papers.

-

What the hell is going on?

Ha, ha. You're dead!

Hey, if I'm dead than so are you. Idiot.

WHAAAAH? I don't wanna die!

Jut shut up for a sec.

-

Sakura sat there thinking for a while. If she was pronounced dead…than that would mean she wouldn't have to face her foster family anymore. She had all the legal papers she needed right in her hands. She could move somewhere else and get a job. But where would she get the money for her food and lodging? She could ask one of her friends…but wouldn't they tell? Or do they already think that she'd dead? But there was someone…

-

Hinata! I know she'll understand! AND she knows how to keep her mouth shut! (Sorry Ino.)

-

"Oh my gawd…Sasuke!"

-

Sakura gaped in horror. What about Sasuke? Should she see him? Did he se her? Did he see her…die?

-

I can't leave him thinking that I'm dead.

Yes you can! You heard Jen. She'll beat the shit out of him if you're even in seeing range.

What am I suppose to do then? I just leave him thinking that I died? That I'm gone for good?

Is there any other option?

-

The injured girl cautiously lifted herself up. She trudged to the bathroom.

-

I look like my body was smashed into a car.

It was.

-

Sakura took a piss, and crept toward her door. She took a slight peek outside. No one was there.

Sakura quietly sneaked along the corridor, down the stairs, through the front doors, and into the streets. She still carried her papers in her hands.
