It took Sakura sixty-four hours to wake up, and she blinked in confusion when she did. Her hospital room was tidy, and there were flowers on her bedside table. They had been so carefully arranged, that she knew whoever bought them knew what they were doing. Everything was slightly blurry.

It took her a few seconds to pick up the noise, even though it was very loud. She turned her head to the other side, and noticed it was produced by Naruto, who was snoring deeply and sound asleep in his chair, next to her bed.

Sakura closed her eyes and tried to recall the events that led her to be here. Usually, it was her teammates that ended in a hospital bed, not her. Try as she might, she was unable to. Her head hurt when she did, and she felt like she was about to have a nosebleed.

"N-Naruto?" she asked hesitantly. Her mouth was dry, and the syllables were sloppy on her lips. He didn't react, so naturally she grabbed a glass of water, took a sip and then dumped the rest of it on him.

The fox boy fell off his chair while cursing obscenities, and he seemed quite annoyed until their eyes met.

"SAKURA-CHAN!" She couldn't defend herself, her arms heavy and clumsy, though she did try to punch him in the face. He tackled her into a suffocating hug and rambled on and on about how glad he was to see her awake. Karma also got her good, because Naruto had seemingly forgotten about the water and made her get drenched in it.

She tried to ask him what was going on, she really did, but he muttered something about a bastard and a pervert and dashed off faster than she could blink.
