A/N: Here's the next chapter…Enjoy!

Her grandmother spoke again, "You really cant be serious."

Sakura could not stand it anymore and walked out.

Rose and Garra got up from where they were sitting and followed after Sakura.

Rose yelled after her, "Sakura wait don't do anything rash."

Sakura felt the tears running down her face again as she headed to her room like Sasuke she literally almost tore the door off the wall.

Once she passed the little living room area and came within inches of her bed she felt a stabbing pain in her chest.

"Oh my GOD!" Sakura crunched over wrapping her arms around herself and fell to the floor.

Rose ran in, "Sakura what's wrong."

Rose's eyes widened as she saw her on the floor squirming in pain.

"Garra help me get her on the bed."

In one sweeping motion they lifted her up onto the bed.

Sakura began to sweat and grow pale.

Rose placed the back of her on hand on Sakura's forehead, "Garra get me a wet towel fast!"

Sakura continued to move as more tears rolled down her face, 'What's going on?. . . . Sasuke I need you!'

Garra rushed back and handed the towel to Rose.

Rose placed it on Sakura's forehead but it didn't work the towel heated up in an instant and began to burn her hand as she tried to pick it up.

"Not good she's burning up."

Sakura cried out, "Sasuke please help me!"

"Garra get her to the bathroom."

"Okay." When she grabbed hold of his arm a searing burning pain shot through his arm.

He fought back the pain and carried her into the bathroom where Rose had the bath water running.

Sakura yelled out again, "Sasuke it really burns!"

"Garra put her in the water." He stumbled and let her go.

As Sakura fell in the freezing water a cloud of steam rose up filling the room. She felt her body temperature drop rapidly and her body grow cold and then heat up again.

Sakura's grandmother walked in, "What's going on in here?"

"Something's wrong with Sakura she's burning up and in pain."

Her grandmother felt like time had hit slow motion as she watched Sakura twist and turn in pain and screaming at the top of her lungs.

"I have to get the doctors." She ran out and was back in a matter of minutes with a medical team.

The doctors took over doing everything they could to control the fever that was slowly growing worse. Within an hour Sakura was given an antidote that was supposed to bring her fever down.

Rose held Sakura's hand whenever her body had a round of attacks, Sakura's grandmother was not able to stay in the room for she felt that she was going to pass out.

As more time passed Sakura's heart began to slow down and the fever rose even more than before.

The doctor headed out to Sakura's grandmother, "We have detected a virus spreading through out her body destroying everything in its path. From what evidence that we have our conclusion has been made that this virus is not from around this region. We suspect that she picked it up in the vampire kingdom but what we don't understand is how it has affected her so……we don't know what to use as a cure but its seems that we have found a way to control it."

"Then what's going to happen to her?"

"At the rate that the virus seems to be progressing if a cure is not found she will die."

She stood their pondering for a moment, "I might know of someone who would be able to figure a cure out."

Back at the castle:

Ino was sitting down in a sofa skimming through a book which she then threw in a pile of other books.

"I think I'm going to die of boredom."

Tenten picked up one of the books that Ino had thrown, "Clearly."

The door suddenly flew open and Shizune walked in, "Have any of you seen Lady Tsunade."

The two of then shook their heads and watched as she left.

Ino laid down, "Tenten I'm bored."

"You told me that already."

"Do you think we could you know……sneak away from this place."

Tenten raised an eyebrow, "If we could I would have left already."

Ino looked at Tenten, "Then what's holding you back."

"Nothing why?"

Ino sat up, "Don't tell me you wont leave because you know that it will crush Neji."

Tenten pulled her knees up to her chest and kept her gaze down to the book, "It's actually something else."

"Well are you planning to tell me."

"It depends."

Ino put her hands on her hips and really looked at Tenten then it clicked, "No way!"

Shizune ran into Tsunades office, "Lady Tsunade something terrible is going on."

Tsunade looked up from her desk, "Well what is it?"

"It's Sakura, I just received an urgent message. It says that Sakura seems to have contracted the 'virus' and the medical team has no way on curing it."

Tsundae kept her gaze calm, "How is it possible that virus no longer exists unless its some how created by someone."

"Now one knows how she caught it but all that I do know is that she's on the brink of death."

Tsunade stood up and grabbed a number of books and threw them at Shizune and her bag, "We leave now."

The doctor walked back out to Sakura's grandmother in the hall, "I'm sorry it seems we've done everything we could have done but its beyond our reach now."

One of the counsel members walked up, "I'm sorry if 'm interupting anything."

Sakura's grandmother began, "It's fine. What has been decided by the counsel?"

"The decision is that we go ahead with the plan to began invasion before they build up anymore forces."

"Very well begin the operation we don't have anymore time to lose."

From far away a door seemed to slam and footsteps were coming closer and Tsunade appeared followed closely by Shizune.

"Where is she?"

Sakura's grandmother pointed in the direction to shocked to say anything.

Tsunade ran in, "Everyone out of my way!"

When she saw Sakura she didn't even know what to say. Sakura had gone pale white and was soaked in sweat and was having spasm attacks.

Tsunade thought of the options she had and came to the only solution. She looked at Rose and Garra, "Everyone else out except for these two."

Once everyone had left Tsunade called Shizune over, "Tell them I'll take care of everything and to stay out then come back in."

Shizune was only gone for a few seconds then was back inside standing next to Tsunade.

"The two of you can stay if you can handle it."

Rose felt nervous, "What are you going to do?"

Tsunade bit her lip, "The only we'll even have a chance of saving her is if…..I turn her into a vampire."

"Why?!"

"The vampire venom in its earliest stages may be able to overpower whatever is killing Sakura….it's the only chance we have."

Garra walked over to Rose and pulled her into his arms.

Tsunade walked over and bent down next to Sakura's side and watched the girl struggle to live, 'I only have one chance.'

Tsunade lifted Sakura's left arm and found her largest vein and bit her arm. Then she went over to the other side and did the same thing and lastly streachd across to Sakura's neck.

Slowly surely Sakura seemed to be calming down the fever dropping to the average extreme. Tsunade lifted Sakura's arm and felt for the pulse on her wrist it all was going well. Then her heart stopped and not just stopped and started again but stopped permanently.

Tsunade felt Sakura's arm grow heavy and limp and it fell from her grasp, Rose began crying even more.

Sakura felt darkness close in along her eyes and thought knowing for sure it would be the last time, 'I love you Sasuke.'

A/N: There's that chapter. I'll try to get the next chapter up when I can.
