1The room became hotter as he watches the medic lose her nerve, searching for answers for problems she wasn't too familiar with. Sasuke struggled to whisper in a dry voice, "Sakura...Marry me"
Then his eyes finally shut completely as she heard of what could be his final request.
The clipboard that she held escaped from her hand and met the floor.
She could not blink.
She could not budge.
She could not think.
She could not gather all her thoughts and arrange them in the appropriate location of her brain.
And...
She absolutely could not cry.
Nurses rushed inside the room panicking. She stood in between the nuisance as the nurses gaped at her, waiting for instructions. Still, her face did not alter.
"Sakura-sama?" one asked. And with that, she snapped out of shock and prepared to proceed.
The Uchiha's locked eyes twitched as he heard words spoken from a familiar voice. Reluctant to awake from a painful slumber, he ignores sweet voice.
"Sasuke-san, please get up"
His eyes slowly unfastened, annoyed at the voice. He sensed that he was not inside the hospital. The bed he awoke in was far too comfortable to be inside the hospital. He was...inside is own room. On his own bed.
Once his eyes had completely awaken, he was greeted by a dark haired lady with eyes just like his. Only...her hair was longer and her eyes were gentle. She set her self beside him on the bed, wondering if he had recognized her yet.
"Mom?" Sasuke muttered. The lady nodded her head. After a short pause, he asks "Am I..Am I..dead?"
Uchiha Mikoto answered "Do you want to be dead?"
An option. To live? To die? WHAT!
"I can choose to live?" he asks.
Then he felt a warm touch reach his hand. The mother looks at him. "Yes. But it's complicated."
You can be dead and be with me, your dad...and Itachi" He preferred to have a kunai plunged in his chest rather than hearing his mother's kind voice say his name.
"Why aren't they here?" Was it even possible to kill Itachi in this twisted realm? His mother laughed. Then Sasuke realized that he had killed Itachi. His mother knew.
"Mom...are you disappointed in me? For killing Itachi, I mean"
His mom gave him an unsure look. "A part of me is hurt that you've killed your own brother for revenge." she announced "A part of me believes that it was wrong for him to be an S-ranked criminal and would later be killed anyway."
The words spoken did not answer his question nor satisfied Sasuke.
"But mom! He killed you!" he exclaimed angrily.
"And you've killed Itachi." Uchiha Mikoto considerately replied. "And you still harbor that hatred for him. Itachi didn't kill us because he hated us."
I'm not saying that killing for power is better. But still, you've brought him to us"
"So, now you want me with all of you." Sasuke suggested
Again, the mother laughed. "Not necessarily" she answered. "I can see that you've fallen for a certain kunoichi..and she cares a lot about you"
You obviously care a bout her. You even asked to marry her."
"So, you don't think it was a bad idea?" asked Sasuke.
His mom smiled and said, "No. She's a good thing"
He nodded. "Now, if you want to live, just go back to sleep" the mother informed him. She planted a kiss on his forehead after sliding the warm blanket on his body.
"You don't belong here" she said in a hoarse voice. She then whispered, "Now, go to her"
Sasuke's eyes closed.
"Good job people" Sakura had told them as the procedures came to an end. It had been hours since Sasuke had nearly faced death. The medics who participated let out a sigh of relief and made their way out of the room. Sakura took one last stare at the Uchiha before she exited the room. She didn't exactly know what happened. What caused him to live or what made it simpler to cure him. She was too tired to even wonder. Sakura allowed the Uchiha to rest for a bit, knowing that he's suffered a lot between life and death. For the most part, she was just glad. The third floor didn't explode. The jutsu worked. And Uchiha Sasuke lived.
