Chapter 3: The Hospital
Sakura had had a rough night. Sasuke told her to cry and let all the pain out. She eventually cried herself to sleep. Sasuke stared at her, wondering how this would affect her. He took a good look around her house. There was no trace of the ninjas. They had no clues. He figured the ninjas were long gone and it was too late to pursue them, but he still had to call Kakashi. He pulled Sakura into his arms and carried her up to her room. He went back downstairs to her phone to dial Kakashi's number.
"What?" A sleepy voice said."It's midnight go away."
"Kakashi!" Sasuke growled, "Wake up! This is an emergency!"
Sasuke explained the situation to Kakashi. Sasuke said the ninjas were gone without a trace. Kakashi said that they would still conduct a wide search for the criminals. He came over with an Anbu squad. They inspected the place and covered the bodies of the dead Harunos. Sasuke figured Sakura had had it rough enough tonight, and let her sleep. He took Kakashi up to her room to inspect her injuries.
"These injuries are pretty bad..." Kakashi said. " They aren't very serious though. But, I would feel better if we took her to the hospital just in case."
"May I go with you?"
"You want to come?" Kakashi asked suspiciously. 'Sasuke isn't acting liked himself,' Kakashi thought. ' I wonder what's up.'
"Yes." Sasuke replied seriously. Kakashi figured it was best not to argue, so he took Sasuke and Sakura to the hospital. Sakura was being examined while Saskue waited outside the room. He listened in on everything that the doctors were saying. He could tell Sakura wasn't in very bad shape, but the doctors still had some concern. Kakashi turned around the corner to see Sasuke still standing outside the room.
"Sasuke you're still here?" Kakashi questioned. Sasuke didn't even look tired. It was almost sunrise.
"Yeah" Sasuke replied. He figured he wouldn't be able to do anything at home. He wouldn't be able to sleep until he found out about the state of Sakura. He was worried about her, not just because of her wounds, but everything that happened. He remembered how he felt after his clan's death. Sakura was always cheerful, and he would hate to see that go away.
"Alright," the doctor said as he was coming out of the room. "She should be fine after a night's rest. You may go in now." Sasuke nodded and went inside. She had some bandages and just some scratches. Sasuke grabbed a chair to sit next to Sakura. She had sat by his side when he was in the hospital, and though he never told her, it meant a lot to him. He would do the same for her. He sat down in the chair and grabbed her hand. He was surprised to find it trembling. He looked at her face and then it came to him... she was having a nightmare. He had had nightmares almost every night since his parent's death. He would see their bodies... and his brother looking over them. He had the sharingan in his eyes... those horrible evil eyes...
'Foolish Brother. If you wish to kill me, hate me, deteste me, and survive in an unsightly way...Run...Run...and cling to life.'
The sun rose over the mountain and shone through the window of the room Sakura was in. She slowly opened her eyes. The last thing she remembered was being in her living room with Sasuke... crying over her parent's death. It took her a moment to realize she was in the hospital. She turned her head to see Sasuke sitting in a chair next to her... holding her hand. She blushed inside. He turned his head to look at her.
"You're awake?" He asked. "How are you feeling?" She was surprised to see the look of concern in his eyes.
"I feel ok," she replied. "I'm a little sore, but fine."
"I'm glad," he said.
Kakashi entered the room smiling. He had a tray with some food on it. He stopped when he realized he interupted a tender moment.
"Good morning Kakashi-sensei," Sakura said smiling. [ Damn that Sensei!!!!!! ]
Meanwhile... back in the village, we see Naruto standing at the meeting spot all alone.
"HEY! WHERE IS EVERYBODY?????"
Naruto was pissed off. Were they playing a prank on him? Or is something... wrong? Naruto was worried about both of these thoughts. He decided he would yell at them later. Well... he would pound Sasuke and Sensei... but not Sakura-chan. Little did he know that he was the only one in the village unaware of the attack on the Harunos. Two villagers past by and Naruto managed to hear part of what they were saying.
"and then they attacked little Sakura Haruno. Poor dear is in the hospital now." Naruto almost fainted in shock. Sakura had been attacked??? She was in the hospital?? That's where everyone was!
"I'm coming Sakura-chan!" He screamed as he ran off to the hospital. He quickly ran into Sakura's room. She had a wound in her shoulder and several scratches, but she was ok.
"Naruto?" She said. He was giving her an odd look as though he was going to cry. He ran to kneel beside her bed.
"Sakura-chan are you ok???" He said. Before she could answer, Sasuke came into the room holding a tray with some breakfast. Naruto was pissed that that bastard got here before him. Sasuke realized they forgot to inform Naruto there would be no training today.
"So I see you found out," Sasuke said. He actually felt bad for Naruto because no one told him.
"No thanks to you!"
Sasuke just brushed Naruto off and sat in a chair. Sakura seemed better today. The whole village probably knew about the tragedy by now. He couldn't stop wondering who attacked Sakura's family and why. Her parents were normal people... and he didn't think they had anything worth value. He remembered why his parents died... they were a measuring stick... to test his power... a measuring stick!
"SASUKE!" Sasuke looked up to see Naruto and Sakura staring at him. He was sweating and his hands were fists. His tray had dropped to the floor.
"Sasuke-kun," Sakura said. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah... I'm fine," Sasuke said. "Fine."
