ShikaNaru Drabble #23

Lost

It wasn't really happening.

Couldn't be.

"Get someone over here! Now!"

There was no possible way the man could be lying less that ten feet away, bleeding like a stuck goat, skin contorted as muscle and bone broke through flesh, blue veins starkingly clear against sickly, pale skin.

"Where the fuck are my tools? Hurry up and get them!"

There was no way that the sticky, red stains on his hands, the floor, the walls--hell the entire fucking room was covered in it!--could all be coming from him. Just no way at all. People didn't bleed that much. Strong, powerful ninja like him didn't bleed like that.

Nope. Not him.

"Shit! I need more pumps!"

Injured shinobis were a common thing. They came in with a few bumps and scrapes and were back on the mission field the next day. This time was no different. Of course not. He'd get better. They always got better.

Didn't they?

"We're losing him! His breathing is slowing down drastically, Hokage-sama!"

Didn't they?

If this was like every other time, why was she looking like that, elbow-deep in a pool of red, eyes frantic, voicestrained and barking out commands. Why was she acting that way? What was she afraid of? He was going to get better, right? Right? Tsunade always fixed everyone.

Right?

"His pulse is fainting!"

It'll all be okay. She'll fix him up like new and tomorrow he'll have that same bored look on his face and tell everyone how annoying and troublesome they are. Won't he?

Won't he. . . .?

"Fuck! Shizune, get over here!"

Oh god, it burns. It burns so much. The metallic bite of blood, the horrible sting of cleaner and fresh red blood. It hurts so much. The hard, stabbing knot in my stomach mixed with the smell of blood and bleach.

Make it stop.

Please, someone, make it stop.

"His breathing has stopped, Hokage! He's going into cardiac arrest!"

Everyone's shouting. It's all so loud. It hurts. Sit up, please. For me. Please. I just. . . .I can't do this. Deal with this. We were so happy. God, weren't we happy? You can't leave me now. You just can't.

Get up so we can go home together.

Please.

"We've lost him. . . ."

Please, Shikamaru!

Omg. Please tell me I didn't just do that. . . .

Naruto- o.O! WTF! Shikamaru!
