Chapter Thirteen

The next time Sakura woke up was hours later, feeling very sick. She had vomited on Shu as he was the one carrying her. Shu had made a very disgusting face. Sakura was placed onto the ground. Shu had walked away from them. Princess Chiyo giggled at this. She was concerned for her love but also for her ninja guard; Sakura. Her people also needed her to be strong.

She had the injured villagers having trouble walking. She had ordered the ones that weren't hurt to help them walk. Princess Chiyo knew the enemy was still around and they had to get going. She had her people walking towards Konoha. It was at best several weeks away with the people she had injured.

If Sakura was not poisoned, she would have healed everyone and this would be faster but she had to make due with what they can or could do. She had the young men able to run go ahead of them to try help. She had even ordered one to get to Konoha fast as well. So, four young males raced off towards help.

Her brown eyes looked around to see people in pain. She had some women wrapping the wounds up and making sure that they were okay a few hours later. Some had fevers coming in and going, that is a worry for her.


Asahi raced towards Konoha while the three others were going to the small villages in the distance to gather some supplies. He had seen what the pink haired kunoichi had done with her fight. He was one of the last ones to escape from the village.

Taking on puppet after puppet and then the two enemies as well. After that, he was shock to see that she was alive but poisoned. She was very strong. He wondered how she was while he raced forward.

He ran faster now. Asahi stopped at the river, cupping some water into his hands. He drank few handfuls before relieving himself in the bushes. Then he was on the go again. In the short distance he seen a small town. He decided to spend the night here. He walked into the hotel to see four ninjas with the lead symbol on them.

"Gai-sensei!" He heard the male shouting loud. He looked at the female then to the male with white eyes.


"Lee, we can…." Gai stated when he noticed a male a few feet away from them staring at him. Gai rose his eyes at him.

"Do you need something?" Gai asked. He could tell the young man was not a danger to them but he had a look on his face that said he needed help.

"My princess Chiyo asked me to get to Konoha and get help." He said, his eyes were widening and then stated," The village was attack and some of us escape at the orders of a kunoichi from Konoha. However, when she came back poisoned and no one of us know of to heal her."

"Who was the kunoichi?" Gai asked.


Neji had turned when he heard Gai talking to someone. He seen a civilian with black pants that were ripped and a torn shirt on him.

"The princess….only told me to say pink hair." He whispered as if he was in fear that someone would overhear him and strike him down.

Neji's eyes widen at his words. "Haruno-san."

"My Sakura-chan!" Lee yelled.

"Lee. She is not yours." Tenten chastised him again. Neji looked over to Tenten and then looked to Gai.

"What is your name? and let's go and help your princess and the youth full blossom." Gai ordered.

"Asahi." Asahi said. With that, Neji was racing after the young man. He is fast for a civilian. They raced back to where Asahi was from.

Hour later, they stopped to a rest. Lee and Tenten were asleep and Gai and himself were up with Asahi.

Neji listened into what he was saying and was still amazed. Haruno-san took on dozens of puppets, the puppet master and someone else with explosive jutsu. He worried about her as a ally from Konoha.

Two hours later, Gai, Asahi and himself were sleeping with Lee and Tenten guarding them.


Finally, when Sakura woke up. She was stiff and dread with sweat. She rolled onto her side to see the village had stopped for the night. She senses someone coming and fast. She stood on shaking legs and groaned in pain.

"Sakura-san." Shu called to her. He seen her moving and moved over to her. Sakura looked up to see them and sighed out in relief.

"Are you two, okay? And what about your people?" She asked.

"Hai, we are and some of my people are as well. "Princess Chiyo said as she came over to them. "However, you should be resting as you were poisoned."

"I'm aware that, I'm poisoned but I sense…."

"Haruno-san!" Sakura turned to see Gai and his team stopping near her. "Hyuga-san, Gai-san. Good…Hyuga-san. Can you tell if anyone is looking for us, by land or sky?"

"No, there is no one looking for you." Hyuga-san replied.

"Where is Tenten and Lee?" Sakura asked.

"They are a bit back with Asahi." Gai told her.


Neji looked over Haruno-san chakra system. Nothing from the poison was affecting it. What was a concern to him was that she was feverish and in pain? He walked over to her and dare her to say anything when he picks her up and looked at Gai.

His sensei was shock at this and grinned. Neji rolled his eyes at this and looked at Haruno-san.

"Haruno-san, did you need Tenten to help you with anything?" He asked, his pearl white eyes glanced over her.

"Maybe…" She muttered. She blushed a bit on this but he was concern that it was more noticeable as he felt the heat from her snivelling body. "Gai.."

"Go and send Lee to me and after Tenten helps Sakura. Send her here as well. You get Sakura back to lady Tsunade. " Gai ordered.

Neji nodded his head at him and raced back to the others. Moments he stopped and looked at the others.

"Asahi, Lee go to Gai-sensei. Tenten, could you help Haruno-san?" He asked.

The two males raced forward and Tenten took Sakura from his arms. She walked away from him and Neji sat down and rested.


"Sakura, what do you need help with?" Tenten asked. She was worried about her friend and fellow kunoichi.

"Help me stand stay, so I can bathe myself before I catch a cold. Next…." Sakura whispered the next part in Tenten's ear.

Tenten blushed but nodded her head. Walking towards the river, Tenten helped Sakura undress and then got undress herself. Both of them standing in the water naked. Sakura washing her heated body with cold and clean water. She quickly washed and had Tenten move her out of the water.

Tenten dried Sakura and herself down and then got dressed herself again and helped Sakura with her other problem and dressed as well. "That should last until you are in the care of Tsunade-sama." Tenten told her.

"Sorry, Tenten." Sakura uttered to her friend.

"Sakura, you would do it for me." Tenten stated. She took Sakura back to Neji.


Sasori glared at all his puppets that were destroyed by the kunoichi. Her strength was great but very annoying. Now he had to collect the new people to turn into puppets. This progress was going to dragged his searching down for months.

"Sasori…" He glared at Deidara as he was getting healed by Zetsu and Kakuzu with Hidan standing at the side. His large scythe resting against his shoulder, looking bored at this.

"Beaten by a girl…with what color of hair!? I would have gotten a taste then I would have sacrifice her to blood god." Hidan commented out.

"Shut up!" Deidara yelled at him. "I like to see if you could. She broke both arms on me. Sasori's puppets might have poisoned her anyway. She might be alive to take a taste and her hair was pink. Really pink like a cherry blossom pink."

Hidan's eyes narrowed at this but then he smiled. "Well, if she is alive… then I would taste her."


Neji looked over Haruno-san body as she was asleep on his chest. Him racing against time to safe her life again. Neji could see the Hokage's mountains. He was almost home now. He picks up his speed, breathing hard. Within a few minutes, he was able to see the gates into Konoha.

Not even stopping to say hello Neji race towards the hospital. He stopped as he got to the front and was breathing hard and his sides were hurting. Each breath he took shot pain up and down, making walking hard to do at the moment.

"Hyuga-san!" He heard; he looks behind her to see Shizune walking to him. "Sakura-chan! What happened?" Her questioned was filled with concern.

"She had a mission and…."

"Just get to the point. Hyuga-san."

"Haruno-san was poisoned." His said.

Shizune paled at this and quickly took Sakura. "You get Tsunade here now."

He nodded his head and turned towards the Hokage tower.


Shizune raced into the hospital giving orders." I need a room stat!" Two nurses looked to see her with Sakura. Both gasped and raced to get a room ready for them.

Shizune looked over Sakura taking in her condition. "Shizune!" She heard Tsunade racing into the hospital.

Both of them, hurried into the operation room with two other medic-nin's to help.


Sakura woke up the next day to see Kakashi leaning against the wall with his nose in that orange book.

"Kakashi-sensei." His eye looked up at her and he closed his book. "Are you doing, okay? Sakura." He asked.

"Hai. I take it, that I was treated in time. I remember having Tenten, Gai, Lee and Hyuga-san there. Hyuga…

"Neji got you here in time. That poison was new. Tsunade-sama and Shizune saved your life." Kakashi told her.

When the door opened up to see Tenzo and his team walking into the room.

"Tiger-chan!" one of them said. "We heard that were poisoned. Are you doing better now?"

"Hello, Kakashi." Tenzo said.

"Tenzo, how have you been doing?" Kakashi asked. He looked at his old teammate to his student. "You help trained Sakura?"

He nodded his head at him.

Minutes passed as Tenzo and his team walked out of the room when Shizune came into the room. Kakashi left as well.

"Sakura…what happened?"

A/N- I'm leaving it here. Until next time. See ya.
