See You Again Chapter 8: Die Itachi, Die

.

.

.

"SAKURAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Sasuke called out her name.

No... crying out her name won't help her. It wouldn't save her. He must do something quick... he must save her. he can't afford to lose her again. Quickly but care fully, he descended, taking every careful measure in order to prevent himself from slipping. He was almost at the bottom of the cliff. Sasuke slowly bent his knees and sprang down, landing a few feet from Sakura and Itachi's motionless bodies.

Sasuke approached Sakura first. She was lying face down on the ground. She was badly bruised and wounded. Carefully, Sasuke turned her over. He gently placed his thumb and middle finger on her pulse. Her pulse was okay, but it was irregular. But the thing is, she was still alive. After making sure that Sakura is okay, Sasuke went to Itachi's direction. He kicked Itachi's body over. Itachi's head was bleeding badly and he has lots of bruises and wounds as well. Sasuke felt anger boiling in his blood at the sight of the man that murdered his clan. Sasuke started making hand seals.

In the middle of this act, Itachi's eyes slowly opened. He glanced at his younger brother who was planning to finish him off. He smirked at him.

"Trying to kill me?" he said quietly. He was breathing heavily. He lost almost all of his strength after he fell from the cliff. He knew he was going to die now. He knew Sasuke wouldn't spare him.

Sasuke didn't answer. Why would he talk to someone who murdered his family? He finished doing his hand seals and he started blowing fireballs from his mouth. Itachi, having no strength to stand up was engulfed in the flames Sasuke created. Sasuke could hear Itachi shrieking in pain as the flames slowly and painfully burn his body. How he loved to her Itachi's shrieks! They were melody to his ears. He loved to hear his own brother howling in pain. 'Finally' he thought as he smirked at the smoldering figure before his eyes. Finally he killed his brother. Finally he avenged his family's deaths.

Slowly, the fire died down, revealing Itachi's body, now burnt into ashes. Contented, Sasuke turned to Sakura, who was still unconscious. He carefully bent down and carried her. And with one last look at Itachi's ashes, he jumped and scaled the cliff easily with the help of his ninja skills.

Finally, he reached the top of the cliff. Quickly, he ran towards the direction of the nearest hospital.

After a few minutes of running with an unconscious Sakura in arms, he finally reached the hospital. He entered it quickly. The hospital staff saw him and Sakura and acted immediately, wasting no time. They placed Sakura on a stretcher and hurried her towards the emergency room. Sasuke wanted to follow them inside but the nurse stopped him.

"I'm sorry sir, you cannot enter. Please stay outside while we treat the patient." The nurse explained, then she closed the door, leaving Sasuke alone in the hallway.

"Shit!" exclaimed Sasuke as he kicked the emergency room door. He was worried about Sakura. What if it was too late? What if she dies?

Sasuke shook his head, ridding his mind of these negative thoughts. He must not think about those. Instead, he must think about positive thoughts like now that he finally killed Itachi, Sakura will get her memory back. All he has to do is to wait and pray for Sakura to make it. Trying to calm himself down, he sat on one of the benches just outside the emergency room. He intertwined his fingers, covering the lower half of his face and rested his elbows on his knees.

He waited... and waited... and waited. 'What was taking them so long?!' Sasuke worried and annoyed asked himself.

After another 3 hours of waiting, the doctor finally emerged from the emergency room. Sasuke quickly stood up the moment he saw him. "How is she?" Sasuke asked, clasping the doctor's shoulders and shaking him. He wanted answer right now.

The doctor shook Sasuke's hand of him. Then he looked at Sasuke. "I'm not sure what will happen. She's in a fifty-fifty. You see, she broke her skull and broke 4 other bones. Besides from that, she also has some large wounds. It's up to her if she lives or not. Let's just hope for the best and pray that she will make it." The doctor explained.

"But she will live, won't she?!" Sasuke asked.

"It's up to her." The doctor answered.

Sasuke was rooted to his spot. There was only 50 percent chance for Sakura to live... she mustn't die... she mustn't die. Why now that everything was fixed and everything was all back to normal? Why?

Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts. He started to walk. But he doesn't know where his feet were taking him. All he knew was he stopped in front of a payphone in the hospital. Sasuke sighed. He picked the receiver of the phone and inserted some coins in the slot. Then he dialed Kakashi's number. It took a couple of rings before someone picked up the phone.

"Hello... who are you and what are you thinking trying to call me in the dead of the night?" came Kakashi's sleepy voice. Sasuke's call obviously woke him up from sleep.

"Kakashi-sensei, this is Sasuke. Please come here in the hospital. Something happened and Sakura's confined. Tell Naruto and the others about this too."

"What?!" the sleepiness was now gone in Kakashi's voice. "Okay, I'm going to tell the others. Wait for us."

"Okay" Sasuke answered and put the receiver back to its place. He wondered where Sakura's room is located. He decided to ask the receptionist about it.

"Excuse me. Could you tell me where Uchiha Sakura's room is?" Sasuke asked the nurse who was assigned on the reception desk.

The nurse looked at him and was flushed. "It's at the second floor. At room 207." She answered. "Anyway, you're cute!" the nurse added. Sasuke felt annoyed at this so he left without thanking the nurse.

Sasuke reached the stairs. He climbed it and soon reached the second floor. He started looking for room 207. There! He found it. He opened the door and there, he saw Sakura, lying on the bed with various life- supporting machines connected to her body. Sasuke hated to see her that way, but what he could do for the meantime was to wait for her to wake up. He quietly sat down on the chair next to her and looked at her peaceful face. He reached out his hand to stroke the contours of her face.

"Sakura... I know you can hear me. Please don't give up. Don't leave me again..." Sasuke whispered at her ear. His eyelids felt heavy. He was tired from the whole day. Maybe a little nap would do. He propped his head on the side of Sakura's bed and allowed his sleepy eyes to take a rest. Little did he know that something was going to happen.

Sakura's dream

Sakura looked at her surroundings. It was all light blue and it seemed... floaty. She looked at her feet and was surprised to see that she was floating too! But where is she? Where are Sasuke and the others?

"Sakura... the time has come." Came a mysterious voice. Sakura whipped her head around to see whom it came from. She saw a man wearing some kind of white robe, but she doesn't know him.

"Who- who are you?" she asked.

The man did not answer. Instead, he smiled at her. "It is time for you to decide. Come with me and all the suffering and pain of yours will end. Come with me and you will never feel sadness again."

Sakura was puzzled. "Huh? Why would I? I don't even know you."

The man came closer to her. "Just come with me!" this time, his voice sounded harsh. He quickly grabbed Sakura's wrist and as his skin made contact, Sakura's head throbbed in pain as if it was splitting in two. Now she got it! She was going to die if she comes with this man! She could not let this happen. She must live!

Sakura was feeling so much pain. 'Maybe it wouldn't be too bad to go with this man...' she thought. Then, images of Ino, Hinata, Tenten, Naruto, Kakashi and all her other friends flashed in her mind. Then the thought of Sasuke came to her.

"I... must... live..." she said. With all of her strength, she pushed the man away from her and the floaty surrounding disappeared.

end of Sakura's dream

Sasuke woke up. 'Is there an earthquake?' he asked himself because the bed he was resting his head on was moving. He looked at Sakura and he was shocked to see Sakura having a convulsion. She was shaking uncontrollably. Fear came upon Sasuke. Quickly, he ran to the door and yelled for help. The doctor and some nurses hurried to the room and tried to stabilize Sakura. After a few minutes, Sakura was stabilized.

"What happened?" Sasuke asked the doctor who was about to exit from the room.

"It was nothing really, Mr. Uchiha. It was just normal in cases like this. You have nothing to worry about. And I found out that she's no longer on a 50-50. She will wake up soon, so don't worry." The doctor assured him and exited the room with the nurses.

Sasuke sighed in relief. Sakura was safe. He sat down again on the chair beside her when something happened. Slowly, Sakura opened her eyes. Then she looked at Sasuke.

"Sakura? You're awake!"
