With that in her mind, Sakura got to her feet. She swiped some of the blood from her chest wound, and placed it in her palm. With a summoning spell in place, she thought, if I needed one time for this to work, it would be right now. Please just give me that!
CHAPTER 13
Please... just once! Sakura screamed in her mind, while tears fell from her eyes. A tear fell onto the seal and lit it up. Thank you... A large, slivery pink dragon, emerged from the seal. Sakura looked up into the dragon's red eyes, Thank you so much for helping me here.
The dragon bowed its head slightly, as it turned to the cloud ninja. "You have hurt this land, and this child! I will not forgive you, for what you have done." The dragon snarled. In each of its claws, a fire ball was formed, one red, the other silver, both very harmful.
Each fire ball was being aimed at each of the 4 cloud ninjas. Sakura smiled as she fell to her knees, then to her side.
Sakura closed her eyes, hoping that her dragon spell hit its targets. Darkness was soon followed by the sound of birds. What? The fire should have scared all the birds away... could it be... Sakura opened her eyes to see a blue flash. Chidori... Kakashi-sensei, you came to help me.
She sighed, as she felt warmth around her suddenly. Sakura opened her eyes, only to see a worried looking Kakashi, with a deep wound in his shoulder. "K-Kakashi... l-let me... h-heal that w-wound... f-for you." she whispered, out of breath. She filled her hands full of chakra.
"Don't be stupid Pinky." Kakashi snapped, slapping her across the face. "You need all the chakra you have. Your wounds are more serious anyway." he mumbled with a smile.
Sakura smiled back, "Thanks Kakashi." With that, Sakura was picked up in Kakashi's arms. Sakura suddenly became frantic, "What about Sasuke and Fagaku-san? Are they alright?" she asked as she gripped his shirt.
"Don't worry Pinky. That's how I found you. Sasuke and Uchiha-san told me that you needed help. If I would have just left you, your little boyfriend would kill Me." he smirked as they started running to the hospital. "Rest Pinky, you're going to be out for a while, judging by how much blood you lost."
Sakura only nodded, as she blacked out in his arms. Kakashi only smirked, as she was willing to die just to heal his small wound.
WITH SASUKE
"Sasuke, calm down," Fagaku demanded, seeing as Sasuke was flipping out over the fact that he was forced to leave Sakura. "Sakura's strong, she can handle herself."
"If you were hurt that bad; what do you thinks going to happen to nee-san! She's strong, but she can't handle an ANBU, let alone four of them." Sasuke snapped at his father, as tears came to his eyes.
"Sasuke, what are you crying about?" Mikoto asked as she walked out of the house. She had heard screaming; so she went to see what was happening, only to find her husband and youngest son fighting. Mikoto gasped, seeing that they were both covered in blood, "What happened?" she snapped.
Fagaku gave her a look; and Mikoto almost dissolved in tears. "Where's Sakura?" she asked clearly, as tears started to escape from her eyes. She received no answer, "Fagaku-kun, please answer me!" she screamed. Sakura was like her daughter now, and the feeling that was inside Mikoto was hurting her.
Mikoto whipped her tears away, and went inside the house to her garden. Her safe place: where everything seemed normal. She fell into her flowers, and began crying. Sasuke came to her side, and hugged her. "Okaa-sama please don't cry. Nee-san will come back." He whispered.
Mikoto put a fake smile on; she only did as much, so that Sasuke wouldn't start crying as well. "Let's go help your father with the smaller wounds on his body." Sasuke nodded, as they all walked back into the house.
"Father... come sit down so we can help with the wounds nee-san couldn't heal in time." Sasuke said with a soft smile. Fagaku nodded, and sat down in front of his wife and son.
Sasuke and Mikoto bandaged all of Fagaku's wounds. "Now dear, go and rest while your remaining wounds heal." Mikoto ordered, while waving her finger in his face.
Fagaku nodded and walked to his room, still worrying over the pink haired kunoichi who had become part of his family. While Mikoto and Sasuke waited for news; from, or about Sakura.
"Okaa-sama, what will Itachi-nii-san do when he finds out about Sakura-nee-san?" Sasuke asked, with a worried look in his eyes.
Mikoto looked away, "Itachi is going to be very upset. He's probably not going to talk with your father for a long time."
Slowly, Mikoto heard the back door open. She knew it was Itachi, since he always came in the back door so no one would notice him. "Welcome home Itachi." she whispered sadly.
Itachi walked into the room and glanced at Sasuke and his bloody shirt, "What happened?" he asked quickly. He looked around for a second, and his eyes narrowed, "Where's Sakura?" he asked in a cold, but worried tone.
"Itachi, welcome back," Fagaku mumbled, as he walked out in his bandages. Itachi looked shocked; for this was the first time he'd ever seen his father in bandages.
"Father, you should rest." Sasuke whispered, with tears in his eyes. Fagaku shock his head, "But..."
A knock on the door sent Sasuke running. He hoped with all his heart that it was Sakura or Kakashi. "Ohayo Sasuke." Iruka mumbled with a wave. "Have you seen Sakura-san lately?" he asked.
Itachi came to the door, "Where is Sakura?" he asked again, with his voice low.
Fagaku swallowed hard and answered, "She is either dead, or in the hospital by now." he mumbled. Iruka looked like he'd been shot, and Itachi looked like he had died and gone to hell and back.
"What?" they both whispered, almost shaking.
Sasuke turned to his brother, "Nee-san got in a fight with some cloud ANBU; when she was healing father. She got hurt really bad." Sasuke whispered. "She told us to leave while she stayed and fought. Father told me to leave, so we did." he mumbled, even more sad about leaving Sakura.
Iruka looked away, like he had done something wrong, "She's a medic... her job was to help, so she stayed to fight. No wonder she's so kind." he whispered, looking down.
A silver haired ninja walked in, "You guys need to stop freaking out. Iruka, you know that Sakura wouldn't die that easily." he smirked.
Kakashi was suddenly against the wall, with Itachi holding his fist up, "What the hell do you know? Sakura could be dead for all we know."
Sasuke ran in with a huge smile, "Kakashi-san, is nee-san alive? Did you help her?" he asked, his eyes full of hope.
Kakashi nodded, "Yah I did kid. Sakura will be fine in a couple days." Again, Kakashi was slammed against the wall.
"What did you do Kakashi?" Itachi hissed, knowing that Kakashi was a trickster, and a person who only hated Sakura.
Kakashi glared down at Itachi, "Itachi, you should be grateful. I'm sorry, but I had to hit your girlfriend, so she didn't kill herself trying to heal me. She only tried to protect your family! She wouldn't want you flipping out like this." he said calmly, as Itachi lowered him to the ground.
Kakashi sighed, "Now that we have that straightened out. Sakura is in intensive care, for 24 hours. The nurses said you can see her tomorrow after, Sasuke goes to school." Kakashi turned to Iruka, "Iruka, if you want, you can be the one to take Sasuke and the others to see Sakura, since the hospital is close to the academy."
Iruka's head shot up, "Hai!" he said to the higher leveled ninja. "Uchiha-san, I hope you get better soon." he whispered as he left.
Itachi still stood glaring at the ground; upset for having left Sakura alone. He felt someone's hand on his shoulder, only to find that it was Kakashi's, "You're a lucky man. Sakura is strong willed, and she won't die, just because she has you." he whispered, looking down into the Uchiha's eyes.
