"THE CURE?!" I shouted in disbelieve.
Tsunade only nodded in response. I didn't know what to say, "I'm-" I didn't get to finish my sentence because Sasuke captured my lips on his. At that moment I didn't care about anything else in the world because I knew I was alive, alive with Sasuke.
"Can someone get me the first aid kit?" Sasuke asked as soon as we broke apart. I almost forgot that I was bleeding.
"The only logically explanation would be that you are the cure Sakura, we're going to need to run some test just to make sure. Until then neither you nor Hinata can be alone. Someone will always have to be with you in case either of you turn back, remember that we're not 100% sure if you're going to turn back at any time."
I looked at Hinata crying on Naruto's chest while Naruto held her as if he would lose her if he let go, which is not completely wrong.
"You're going to have to come with us for a while, we're just going to take some blood samples and do a couple tests. It won't take long." As Sasuke finished wrapping me up I took his hand to walk over to Tsunade.
"Let's go." I said wanting to get this over with. If I really am the cure I want to do something to finally help this world.
She nodded, "The rest of you can go home, Shikamaru and Neji it is your job to eliminate or at the very least stop Hinata from biting anyone else if she is to turn back." With that we walked away.
"Well it seems that that's it. You're free to go and we'll get back to you with our results. Until then remember that this is top secret do not speak about this to anyone that doesn't already know. It might put your life endanger."
I nodded before I walked out with Sasuke. Suddenly everything seemed so much brighter.
As I watched the children playing and laughing and the animals frolic around the open space I began to appreciate the fact that I was still alive. If I hadn't been the cure…I would have been the living dead right now trying to eat my friends.
"Sakura?" I heard Sasuke ask and I turned to look at him before I smiled.
"Sasuke I love you…let's get married."
I watched his eyes widen before I saw the most amazing sight ever. Sasuke smiled.
He picked me up and swung me around a bit before kissing me.
"Let's go tell everyone the great news." He didn't even wait for my response, he simply put me down, grabbed my hand and began to run. As I ran with him I couldn't help but laugh, life isn't so bad right now.
If I really am the cure, I will save as many people as I can. I hope we can find Orochimaru soon and bring him down.
I wonder if he knows I'm the cure. Probably not.
"No way! That's great! I'm going to be the best man right teme?" Naruto cheered as he swung his arm around Sasuke's neck.
"Sorry dope, but Itachi is going to be my best man. I do need to run this by Tsunade though."
"I'm sure she'd have no problem with it, the worst problem we'd have is when the first available day will be." Itachi said.
"ATTENTION EVERYONE," we heard the speakers announce, " THERE IS AN EMERGENCY MEETING BEING CALLED RIGHT NOW. EVERYONE PLEAE GO TO THE LUNCH AREA IN THE NEXT 15MIN." and that was all we heard.
Everyone had the same look on their face, we all knew when an emergency meeting was called it was never a good thing.
"Let's get going everyone." Konan said as she opened the door for everyone to start walking out.
As we were walking out we saw the rest of the civilians walking as well. A few kids waved at us along with a couple smiles from the elderly people and I really felt like we were protecting them. They acknowledged us as their protectors and I didn't want to let them down.
Once everyone was there the meeting had started.
"We found out that there are a few survivors in a small town not too far from here," Tsunade began to speak, but the moment she said survivor everyone's attention was now doubled, "Only problem is that they are also surrounded by at least two hundred zombies. The good news is that they're scattered so we'll be able to take them out one by one instead of trying to fight them in groups." When everyone heard this there was a mixture of emotions. "We'll take any volunteers that are willing to go for training purposes, but we're also selecting a few of our own and those that we select do not have a choice and they must go. If you hear your name please get up and walk back to your home to retrieve your equipment and then head to the exit where you will await everyone else. "
As she began to call out people's names people began to get up from their seats and walk to their homes.
"Konan…"
My heart fell, I never liked her leaving and now she's leaving again.
The names continued to be called I realized that I wouldn't be leaving neither would Hinata, Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru, or Neji.
"Itachi."
I know Sasuke liked his brother's name being called as much as I did, but we couldn't say anything about it.
Looks like the weeding will be delayed.
Eventually the names stopped being called.
"Now, who would like to volunteer themselves?" More than a few hands went up and as they were began to leave to gather their things I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Sakura you're going to have to go with me for a quick second. We're going to need your blood." I knew what that meant.
I nodded my head and began to walk with her to the exit.
When we arrived there was a chair and needles and I freaked out a little.
"It's ok Sakura we won't take all of your blood." Tsunade said as she laughed. I tried to laugh with her but it came out more as a frightened young girl.
As I sat down and had the needles inserted in me I tried to breathe as I could feel myself becoming dizzy.
"Ok, that will be all." She said and I tried to get up but I only ended up falling in the end.
"I got you." I heard Sasuke's voice say and I felt like I was half asleep.
"Everyone will get one of these." Tsunade said holding up a small tube. "If you get bit, this is what you will drink, inject, whatever way you want just put it in your body. Fall those of you who don't know, this is the cure. If you are bit this will save your life. Before I announced the meeting we found out this her blood is absolutely the cure. Use you're cure wisely." And with that everyone was gone and I was being carried back home.
I don't remember making it back home. I fell asleep before we traveled half way.
