Sakura-Neko

Chapter13

Sakura and Sasuke were waiting in the waiting room of the hospital, waiting for news from the doctor. The doctor suddenly burst through the doors with a worried expression on his face.

Doctor "Are you Sasuke Uchiha?"

Sasuke "Yes, I am. How are they?"

Doctor "Well, Itachi seems to be dealing fairly well with just a broken arm and a fracture to his left elbow."

Sakura "And Seiko?"

Doctor "Well, see, Seiko barely took any damage, but being just a baby, he took it fairly gravely."

Sakura "W-what do you mean?"

Doctor "I don't know how to put this but, he suffered head trauma, and the impact was fairly harsh to the back side of his brain. He might be paralysed for life."

Her eyes grew wide.

Sakura "What! This can't be! I can't lose my only family member!"

Doctor "I'm sorry, but there could be worse."

Sakura "Example?"

Doctor "Since the child is not even half a year yet, he was not able to absorb the small impact from his side compared to the big impact Itachi took, whom is doing fairly well. Unfortunately, being paralysed for the rest of his life would be one of the luckiest things for this child. Even luckier would be that for the rest of his life he would be autistic. Worst case scenario would be that he would only have a few days to live. But that is going to an extreme, even for this little guy. I believe that he might be paralysed. That is the most possible."

Sakura "So what are the dangers of him being paralysed for life?"

Doctor "Well, being only a child, he would have o be kept alive on a machine, since everything else wouldn't be able to function. He would have to stay in the hospital his entire life."

She gasped and her eyes went wide.

Doctor "I'm sorry, but there's nothing much we can do for the boy."

And with that, he went back in the room, leaving her to sob in Naruto's arms while Sai and Sasuke tried to comfort her with words and Naruto by rubbing her back. While the boys were trying to comfort her, they were trying to figure out how this whole mess happened in the first place.

Sasuke "Shhh, it'll be all okay. You'll see. I bet you that they're trying their best as we speak."

Sai "Yeah, and I betcha that by a few weeks, he'll be ready to leave the hospital and be as good as new!"

Sakura just sobbed harder at her friends' words, since she knew they were trying to convince themselves of this as much as her. When they arrived home, Sakura ran up to her room, well technically hers and Sasuke's room, and shut the door with a slam. The guys were left in the entrance feeling sad.

Sasuke "Well, I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow."

Naruto "Nah, you should stay here and watch over her, and maybe in case if Itachi needs your help to get home."

Sasuke smiled.

Sasuke "Yeah. Bye guys, see ya whenever."

Sai "We'll give you guys the work needed to be done. Bye!"

And with that, both guys were gone. Sasuke went upstairs to their room and went on the bed to try and make Sakura stop crying. When he tried to touch her she only moved away from him. Finally he managed to get her to calm down a little and she was holding onto him very tightly.

Sasuke "It's okay, they're gonna be fine. Trust me."

Sakura "No they're not! And anyway, how are your parents gonna react when they hear this! They're coming tonight!"

Sasuke hadn't thought of that. He sat there frozen while trying to think of what to do. Suddenly, a light bulb went on in his head and he knew what to explain to his parents. After a few hours, his parents came home and had obviously learned the news since his mom was sobbing and his father was quite grim looking and looked quite sad as well.

Mikoto "Oh I can't believe my baby and a little baby got into an accident!"

Sasuke "Yeah, the baby's name is Seiko by the way. Sakura's his sister."

Mikoto "Who?"

Sasuke "Sakura. Her parents have died and her brother, Seiko, is the only family she has left. Sakura's upstairs, crying her eyes out. She's been living with us for a while now. She's a transfer student and since she's in all my classes, I decided that we should help her and take her in. She's sharing my room with me."

Mikoto "Sasuke, you are the sweetest boy went you want to be. That was so kind of you. Itachi would be proud."

Sasuke "Itachi also agreed. She kind of came after you guys left."

Fugaku "No matter, she can stay. But for right now, we need to stay here for Itachi."

Sasuke "Will you have any trips to go on?"

Mikoto "Yes, but we thought we should cancel them all until Itachi was well."

Sasuke "No, you shouldn't. I could take care of them myself. Don't cancel any of them."

Mikoto "No, we couldn't impose that on you boys."

Sasuke "No, I insist. Besides, you need a break from all the stress and sadness of knowing Itachi is in the hospital."

Mikoto "You sure kiddo?"

Sasuke nodded.

Mikoto "Okay. Then I'll go to my room right now."

Sasuke "Me too."

So they went up the stairs and they stopped at Sasuke's room first.

Sasuke "Hey Sakura? Can I come in?"

Sakura "Yeah."

She sniffed. They went in and Mikoto saw her and sat down next to her.

Mikoto "Don't feel bad Sakura, it'll all be okay."

Sakura "But the doctor said Seiko might not survive!"

Mikoto hugged Sakura and brought her on her lap.

Mikoto "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Sakura kept sobbing in Mikoto's arms who was rubbing her back gently while humming a soft and low tune to try to calm her. After a while, Sakura calmed down and fell asleep in Mikoto's arms. That's when Mikoto noticed that Sakura had the same eyes, hair color, name and chocker as their cat.

Mikoto "Sasuke, where are the cats?"

Sasuke "Uh, well, you see, they died."

Mikoto "No, Sakura couldn't have died. She was much too young. What about her mother who was pregnant?"

Sasuke "What?"

Mikoto "She was pregnant. She was having a child and before we left she had that child. A baby boy we named Seiko. Strange coincidence huh?"

Sasuke "Y-yeah, really strange."

Mikoto "It's almost as if, Sakura has turned into a human, and Seiko too. Almost as if when she sneezed, she transformed."

Sasuke "Uh, yeah! What are the chances of that happening!"

Mikoto "You can't fool me. I know exactly what happened to her parents. They were our best friends and then one day, they sneezed and then somehow turned into cats. We kept them as our own and tried to get them back. To normal that is."

Sasuke was shocked to discover that his parents already knew. He was shocked out of his mind when his eyes turned towards Sakura, who was slowly awakening.

Sakura "So, you knew this whole time?"

Mikoto "You heard?"

Sakura "Yeah, I kinda did."

If this were any regular time, they would have all laughed a little, but this was no time to joke around.

Mikoto "Anyway, I'll leave you 2 be. We must go visit Itachi at the hospital, and don't worry, no school for you guys tomorrow."

And with that, she left them there to their own thoughts and each other's company.
