Mulan Shippuden
Sakura awoke in a blur. The first thing she saw when her eyes adjusted to the light was Naruto staring right at her.
"Naruto… where am I?" Sakura asked.
"Sakura, you were Sasuke all along?" Naruto asked, confused.
"How long was I out?" Sakura, ignoring Naruto's question. Then, she saw Lee.
"About half an hour." Lee answered.
"Lee…" Sakura said. Lee had a concerned look on his face and so did Naruto, Neji, and everyone else.
"Sakura, you know females aren't allowed on the mission unless the Hokage herself tells you to." Neji said.
"I'm sorry you guys…" Sakura said.
"You have to go back to Konoha and let us finish the job here." Naruto said.
"We don't know what the Akatsuki is planning on doing next, and they're not here right now, so we won't need a healing ninja at our side right this very instance." Asuma said.
"Fine, then, I'll leave" Sakura said disappointed, turning her back to leave.
"One more thing, Sakura." Naruto said. Sakura stopped in place, her back still towards everyone. "Why did you come? Why isn't Sasuke here?" Naruto asked. Sakura didn't answer and ran off, back to the village.
When she got back to the village, Ino was there to greet her.
"Hi Sakura! Where were you? I got lonely since everyone else left and Hinata and Tenten are training together right now." Ino said. Sakura forced a smile.
"Ohh! Umm… I just went to… the Sand! I wanted to make sure everyone was Ok there! Hehe..." Sakura, sweating all over.
"Oh! Ok! You wanna do something fun today? How about Ichiraku?" Ino asked.
"No, no! That's ok!" Sakura answered back. "I think I'm just gonna go home!" Sakura wanted to check on Sasuke.
"Oh! OK! See you, then!" Ino said as she walked away.
As soon as Ino was out of site, Sakura made a dash for it back home. She slammed the front door and ran back to the room where she had left Sasuke last.
"Sasuke!" She saw Sasuke looking slightly pale for not eating the few days she was gone.
"Sakura!" Sasuke shouted at her. "What have you done?! What was that liquid you gave me?!"
Sakura ran up to Sasuke and hugged him.
"Oh, Sasuke, I'm so sorry!" Sakura said. She reached on to the dresser and grabbed a bottle with an orange liquid inside of it.
"What is that Sakura?" Sasuke asked.
"Drink it, Sasuke. It will make you feel better." Sakura tolled him. Sure enough, Sasuke grabbed the bottle in a split second and drank it down in another. He immediately sat up and practically spit half the bottle out onto the floor of the house.
"My, god Sakura! What the hell did you put in that drink?!" Sasuke shouted.
"Hehe… sorry! It's kinda hard to make a medicine that tastes good and works! Did you get at least a little of it down?" Sakura asked.
"Ya, I got some down. I feel much better Sakura, thanks."
"No problem." Sakura felt very relieved.
"I need to go get dressed into my uniform so I can go help the group." Sasuke said.
"Oh, ok…" Sakura answered, trying not to sound so worried. "Be careful."
"Sure." Sasuke stood up, but stopped in his tracks. "Someone's at the door, Sakura."
Sure enough, there was a loud knock at the door.
"Sasuke, Sakura!" It was Lee's voice. Sakura ran to the door and opened it.
"Sasuke's in the back." Sakura said.
"No! Sakura- chan! We need you too!" Naruto shouted.
"Lots of our people need medical attention! Please Sakura!" Lee shouted.
"What's all the ruckus about Sakura?" Sasuke asked coming to the front door.
"I'll go right away!" Sakura said.
"Come with me Sakura." Shikamaru said. They both ran off.
"Sasuke-" Neji said, but interrupted by Naruto.
"We found out the Akatsuki are going to do next! They're going to-." Naruto said, but interrupted by Lee.
"They're going to attack Konoha!" Lee shouted.
"What!?" Sasuke shouted.
"Ya! We don't know why, but they are!" Naruto said.
"I'll get my katana." Sasuke said.
