Okay! I wrote this one right after the last one because I'm leaving for a ski trip! Yay! Kimberly's going to Kimberley, ha ha, I think that's funny… ha… ha… ahem
This one's going to be short, and it's not the last one, even if it sounds like it!
ANYHOO!
"Too much chakra used up," A voice said.
"And this one?" Another asked.
"I don't know, but she looks pretty beat up, maybe it was abuse, who knows," The first
voice said.
"Abuse?" The second voice asked. "Not from… Him?"
"Maybe," The first voice said. "Fame and fortune get to peoples heads. Maybe a one
night stand gone wrong…"
"But… But," The second voice whined. "He brought her to the emergency doors, and
it's… It's him for goodness sake! Why would he…?"
"I don't know how rich men work, okay?" The first voice snapped.
Ino's eyes opened slowly.
An elderly nurse was standing beside her, and a taller nurse was standing with her back to
them.
The nurse standing beside Ino jumped. "Goodness! You're awake! Are you alright? I
guess not, dumb question. You're pretty beat up honey."
None of this made sense to Ino. Where was she? It felt as though she asked herself that a
million times that day. "Where am I? Where's Naruto?"
"You're in the hospital, and Naruto-sama's right next to you, dear," The elderly nurse
smiled as she put a cold cloth on Ino's forehead.
A doctor walked in. He seemed to be younger than the nurses, but not by much.
"Mmkay, so broken growth plate in the wrist," He said, not looking up. "The cast's on?
Good," He said, making a note on his clip board without waiting for an answer.
"Shattered shin, the knee's okay, but the cap got a little bruised, and for her ankle? She
won't be walking on that for a while."
He seemed to be talking to himself, and Ino felt sick as she knew he was talking about
herself.
"And the almighty Naruto-sama," He said with a sarcastic tone to him voice. "Too much
chakra is gone, I'm afraid he'll die."
"What?" Ino shrieked, sitting up. Her head pounded, and her broken body screamed at
her, but she continued glaring at the doctor with unfocused eyes.
"Oh, you're awake?" He said, not looking at her. "Good, okay, well, Naruto-sama has no
family to speak of, and so, there's no one to call. No one really cares, do they? Well,
everyone except the charities."
"I care!" Ino yelled at the doctor, anger boiling in her stomach, and making her feel sick.
The nurse grabbed the bucket just in time.
She helped Ino lay back down.
"Now, don't try sitting up again, you can't throw up anymore," She said in a kind,
motherly voice.
"Well, I don't know what kind of medication to give Naruto-sama that might help even
the littlest bit," He didn't seem to be sad, or mad, or have any other emotions that Ino was
feeling at the moment. He was just so… So… Monotone about the whole thing.
"Yeah, like my mom used to say, the only thing that a person can REALLY look forward
to in life is death."
Ino gasped, and laid there, feeling guilt. She put Naruto through this whole thing, and he
saved her, only to risk his own life. Did he really use that much chakra trying to save her?
Ino closed her eyes, trying to think. Did Iruka-Sensei say ANYTHING about restoring
chakra at top speed?
Think, she told herself. THINK!
She couldn't recall anything, so she opened her wet eyes again, staring at the ceiling,
tears running down her face, leaving cold lines behind.
The doctor left, and the nurse who was looking over Naruto left behind him.
The nurse looking over Ino tutted, and turned towards her. As soon as she saw the tears
leaking out of Ino's eyes, she walked over, and said in a soothing voice, "Don't mind
him, that doctor is a little harsh sometimes. He exaggerates things to an extreme point."
She wiped away Ino's tears with a Kleenex, and said quietly, "I'm sure Naruto-sama will
be just fine, after all, he's been through worse, hasn't he?"
Ino nodded, true he had been through worse, but still… There was always that little
percent…
The nurse left, and left Ino to sleep. Ino looked to her left, and saw out the window, a
crystal blue day. She looked to her right, and saw Naruto. He looked peaceful, even with
the breathing tube around his nose, and the life saving equipment around him.
She smiled as the medication took her into a world of hallucinations and wondered if
she'd meet Naruto there.
Sorry it was so short!
I promise I'll write one that's longer when I get back, okay?
Review!
Umm… Yeah, I know what it's like to be confused and wake up in the hospital, 'cause it happened to me when I got hit by a car (I officially don't like Subaru's anymore! Ha ha!)
Anyways, I'll be back! Moo haa! … Yeah…
