Naruto ran as fast as he could, jumping over carts and people, buildings and venders. It seemed that no matter what though he couldn't run fast enough.
He had gotten a call this morning telling him only of her return. He ran out of his house with a piece of toast in his mouth and his pants halfway on. He hadn't seen her in a little over three years and just as he had gotten back, Naruto found out that she had just left for a mission. Just his luck, but he could wait, and wait he did. It had been almost three months since her disappearance, but now, now she was home and that's all that mattered.
The hospital workers were knocked down as Naruto ran past them and up to the trauma ward. According to Tsunade, in the few seconds that they had spoken, Sakura was in pretty bad shape. It made him anger to know that she was hurt, his pink-haired angle, in pain. He wanted to hit himself for leaving her for so long. He should have made her come with him that why she wouldn't have been in danger.
Naruto sighed as he neared her room. He couldn't have forced her to come with him, though tying her up and throwing her over his shoulder did sound appealing. Sakura had her own life to live though, just like he did.
He didn't have to ask who found Sakura dieing body. Smiling he one of stuck his hands in his pocket and knocked on the hospital door with the other. No, he never had to ask.
"Just a minute." Tsunade called from inside the room. Walking to the door she opened it and allowed Naruto to enter.
His breath caught in his throat at the sight that lay before him. There on that white hospital bed lay a figure in a full body cast, "Wh, what happened?" Naruto edged closer to the bed to get a better look at her, but her entire body, including her face, was covered in either a cast or bandages.
"I'll tell you when Kakashi and a few others get here. It's to much to repeat a hundred times." Tsunade patted him on the shoulder and motioned to a chair.
A few minutes later Kakashi join the group.
"Where is he?" Tsunade looked behind Kakashi's lanky form and found nothing.
"Lee's bringing him up later in a little while, after all the heat dies down. My God Tsunade. What happened?" Kakashi looked over at the Hokage.
"We had to go in and rebreak most of her bones. When they had originally been broken, they weren't set back into place and so healed incorrectly. Almost all of her ribs were broken, legs, toes, arms, and jaw. Her, her fingers...I tried my best, but she might not be able do hand seals ever again." She hung her head.
"What do you mean by that?" Naruto leaned forward and looked with grief upon Sakura's body.
"They drilled holes in her finger joints and from the looks of it, ran rods through the holes, enabling her do perform seals.
"We found numerous strands of DNA in and on her body including her mouth and throat. Her..." Tsunade took a deep breath before continuing, "We found traces of iron and steel in her vaginal area...God it was a mess...She sustained a large amount of scar tissue and blood lose and I doubt she'll ever be able to see again." Tsunade hung her head in sorrow.
"What does all that mean? She's going to be all right isn't she? Isn't she!" Naruto stood up in fury knocking his chair over.
"It means Naruto that she was raped till she passed out from pain and blood lose, then they broke her bones very slowly, fucked her some more, this time taking a kunai and shoving up her vagina, cutting and ripping at her insides!" Tsunade tears sprang form her eyes and Naruto hung his head, his shoulders shaking.
"All to get that damn map." Kakashi muttered and shook his head.
"Map? What map?" Naruto stared at the others in the room tears running down his face freely, "What fucking map!"
Tsunade shook her head once more she looked up at Naruto and sighed, "Orochimaru made an alliance with a rather wealthy and prosperous man by the name of Warui Utsuwa. From what our Intel gathered he was to meet with Orochimaru several month ago to seal the deal. Sakura was sent out to gather as much information as she could on this meeting, but she got to close you could say. The last thing we heard from her was that she was going to send us a map. When it didn't arrive at the scheduled time and point, we knew something was wrong; Sakura never misses a delivery, never."
"First off Orochimaru doesn't make alliances unless he's the one benefiting and second, what the hell were you all thinking sending her out there by herself! You should have sent a team!" Naruto threw out his arms in anger.
"We did. None came back alive. Well except Sakura." Tsunade motioned with her hand towards the body.
Naruto looked down at Sakura's still form, "I'm sorry Sakura." He whispered to her and set back down beside her bed.
A knock on the door took everyone's attentions. Soon after Lee walked in holding the hand of a redheaded little boy. Walking in slowly, Lee released the little boy's hand and turned back around to shut the door. The little boy, who couldn't have been older then three, bit his lip and walked up beside Tsunade and gave her a pleading look. She nodded and picked him up then placed him on the bed beside Sakura.
Lee put his hands in his pockets and walked up to where Naruto set, "It's been a while Naruto." He removed a hand from his pocket and put it out towards Naruto.
Naruto gave a small smile and returned the gesture, "Yes it has. Whose the little boy." He nodded in the direction of Sakura's bed where tears ran freely down the little boys face. Naruto rose to his feet and walked up next to the boy, "Hey there little guy." Naruto touched the kids shoulder lightly, "There's no need to cry, she's going to be all right."
The small child sniffled, but never looked away from Sakura. He reached out with a small grubby hand and gave her a slight nudge. Nothing happened. More tears fell.
Naruto look to the others for help, but Lee hung his head and whispered something inaudible to Kakashi. Turning back around, Naruto pulled a chair up next to the bed and set down. The little boy was know laying next to Sakura's bandaged body, playing with a pink tuff of hair that had managed to escape the wrappings.
"You never knew did you? Not even after getting back." He heard Tsunade speak from behind him.
He turned once more to face her, "Who is he?"
"He is Haruno Sukuinushi, Sakura's son." Naruto froze at her words. Turning his head back, as if transfixed, he stared in aw.
"Who, who..." A silent tear ran down Naruto's cheek.
"No body knows for sure. There were rumors at one time, but they soon died down." Her voice softened, "Don't let him end up like you." She turned to the other two that stood in the far corner silently, "I'll be back later this afternoon to check up on her. I suggest you fellas get some rest. This case isn't closed yet." With that Tsunade slowly walked out of the room.
"Naruto?" Lee walked up to the him and put his hand on his shoulder, "There's nothing we can do right now. She's not going anywhere."
"Then neither am I." Naruto kept his eyes on Sakura's covered face, "I'm not going to leave you alone again Sakura-chan, or you." Naruto looked down at the small child that had cried himself to sleep.
Lee sighed and placed a small daisy on the bedside table, "Just remember Naruto, you're not the only one that loves her." With that he slowly walked out of the room.
"Don't you have anything to say Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto shot a glace over at his former teacher who was leaning against the wall.
"She's not dead Naruto, but she could be if it weren't for a certain someone." Kakashi pushed himself off the wall and walked over to Sakura's bedside.
"Yah. Sure didn't stay around long enough though." Naruto reached out to touch Sakura's wrapped hand.
"Did you expect him to? We all must live our own lives, some more perilous then others."
"Weren't you the one that used to speak about teamwork and sticking together?" Naruto gave him a long look before turning back to Sakura.
"Sometimes it's good for even the best of friends and the closest of teams to have a little down time." Kakashi shrugged then shook his head, "Though the getting back together is usually the hardest. Never expected it to be like this."
"Humph." Naruto closed his eyes and breathed in through his nose. He reached out with his other hand to smooth out Sukuinushi's hair.
"So how was your training with Jiraiya? Kakashi pulled up a chair and plopped down next to Naruto.
Naruto smiled at his old sensei. He squeezed Sakura's hand and leaned down closer to her so that she could hear him better, "I once heard that people in comas can hear you speaking to them..." Clearing his throat, Naruto began to speak in a low voice, but raised it when he remembered that Kakashi was the one how wanted to hear it. So he set there in the hospital room with his friends telling stories of his journeys with Jiraiya.
