Beep... beep... beep... beep... beep...beep...
Sasori inhaled deeply, shaking a lock of hair out of his line of vision.
Beep... beep... beep...beep... beep... beep...
"Come on Sakura, wake up..." he softly called, holding her cold pale hand in his.
Sakura lay on her bed, appearing to be deep in a blissful sleep. She was, however, deep in a coma. Five days in a coma to be exact. After Tobi had located her, Sasori and Konan showed up and began to treat her more serious wounds.
Before Sakura showed up, the blue haired woman was the medic of the gang, so it wasn't that tough for her to fix the more serious wounds. However, there were a few she needed to operate on, back at the base. Some of the injuries Sakura sustained had already begun to take their deadly effects.
One such effect was the spider-like burn marks that now covered all of her back. Konan had managed to heal most of it, but there was only so much she could do for a wound that was hours upon hours old.
If Sakura ever woke up, she would have to live with a scared and marred back.
"I don't care what you look like Sakura, just wake up for me. Let me see your eyes," Sasori whispered desperately.
If he could have, he would have cried long ago.
"Sasori, I know you love Sakura, but you need to take care of yourself. You're emotionally killing yourself by staying here. Go out with Deidara and Tobi for a few hours. I'll keep watch over Sakura in the mean time. I don't want to see you falling apart on a mission just because she hasn't woken up."
Sasori looked behind him to see the calm blue haired woman with a needle and scroll in her hands. "You are just saying that because you want time along to preform more tests on Sakura chan. I have told you before and I'll tell you again. I am not moving from her side. I left her once and this is what happened. I will not make the same mistake again. I will stay by Sakura chan's side."
Konan looked like someone ruffled her feather the wrong way. Sasori had hit the nail on the head and had basically told the woman in blue that he would not move for her desires.
"Very well. If you will not leave, at least detach yourself from her bedside so that I may attempt to awaken her once more. You are not the only one who wishes for her well being, Sasori. Sakura chan is like a younger sister or a daughter to me. I will not let even you stand in the way of my efforts to awaken her."
Sasori locked eyes with the woman and held his gaze for a long while before he broke off and stepped away from Sakura's bedside. Konan was a smart woman. She would do everything in her power to aid Sakura's return back to the land of those awake and living. He could trust her.
However, that didn't make him letting go of Sakura's hand any easier. He didn't want to ever let go of her.
"Please, help her wake up. She is missed to much to sleep so long."
Konan looked up at Sasori and was surprised by how willing he seemed to allow her to experiment on Sakura. "Why-"
"I have faith in you. You love Sakura as well, so you will put your heart into this. She taught me that... If you really love Sakura you will be able to awaken her. Understand this, Konan, this will be the only other time I allow you to pry me from Sakura's side. After this, not even death will be able to keep me away from her."
Konan sat down behind Sakura's head and took out the needle. Holding it up to the light, Sasori saw the light green drug for a brief moment before it was plunged into the skin of Sakura's neck. Sakura twitched in her sleep a bit, but did nothing more.
Sasori looked up at the blue haired woman to see if this was what she wanted. It looked like it was since she kept on working, never stopping to check up on Sakura and her condition.
This put the red haired sandman at ease.
Next she pulled out the scroll and slipped a seal over the closed eyes of the pink haired girl. With Sakura blinded by the ward, Konan unrolled the scroll over Sakura's chest and began muttering, poring chakra into the signs and marking Sakura now dawned.
Sasori held his breath for a while as Konan tried to enter Sakura's sub conscious. Weather the older woman was having any luck with the younger, the red haired puppeteer knew not.
Hours passed. Konan never moved from her spot, nor did she cease her mutterings. Sasori, being the impatient man he was, began to pace back and forth, letting out a frustrated sigh every now and then. He wanted Sakura to wake up and he wanted her to wake up now!
After a long while, Konan broke the connection and began to roll up the scroll.
"I think I broke into her subconscious, so she might be able to hear what we're saying. Talk to her and see if it helps."With that said, the weary blue haired woman left the two alone in search of sleep and rest.
Sasori knelt as Sakur's side once more and took her hand in his. "Sakura, I do not know if you can hear me, but I'm going to talk to you regardless. I want you back. I can not stand living without you here. I have gone mad without you. I never though I could feel this week and wounded and hurt but I do. I feel this way because I do not have you. I need you Sakura. I need you. Please come back. Please come back to me. I...I need you."
Leaning over her Sasori placed his lips over hers and kissed her in her sleep
. That was when he started to feel movement underneath him. "Has anyone ever told you that you smell like pine?"
"Sakura, your awake!"
The pink haired girl gave him a weak smiled and nodded. "Yes. Now if you don't mind I've been out for a while and miss your kisses."
