Hello! I know, this took so long to update. I'm sorry. I found this chapter a little tough to write, considering that its the last one. It's a little sad, but I enjoyed writing it. It was different compared to the other stories I have written. Anyways, thank you so much to all my reviewers! I really hope that you enjoy this final chapter!

Alfred (Neji's butler), Lee and Neji entered one of the rooms of Neji's estate. This room contained a file cabinet, a computer and a tape player. "Alfred, run this list of medical supplies that I found on Kabuto's desk. I want to know what this stuff would be used for. Cross reference it against all likely medical procedures," Neji said. "Yes, Master Neji." Alfred then approached the computer, comfortably sitting in front of it as Neji placed the recorded tape into his tape player. He played the phone conversation. Both Lee and Neji widened their eyes after they heard the loud noise of the foghorn for a second time. "That's a ship's foghorn. He's somewhere near the water," the brunette stated. But Lee cocked one of his thick eyebrows, "That's impossible… The police have sweeped every inch of the coast."

"Listen carefully. There's something else…" Neji added.

He was right!! Another noise could be heard.

"A bell?" Lee suggested. "Or a boi," Neji corrected him. "Right," Lee nodded as Neji advanced on his filing cabinet and opened it, revealing that it contained many different maps within. Neji then pulled one of them out, which was a map of the coast and the ocean beyond. Lee pointed at an area on the map in utter astonishment, "Hey! This is that abandoned oil rig that's located in the middle of the ocean! Do you think-" Neji interrupted him, "That had to be the place… No wonder nobody could find them. They're five miles off shore."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke loomed over his beloved Naruto. The blond remained on the machine bed as Kabuto prepared another bed beside his for Sakura. The operation would begin very soon.

Sasuke's hand brushed through Naruto's golden locks. Naruto seemed stable enough. Sasuke only hoped that everything would run smoothly at the time of the operation. If anything were to happen…

"Sasuke," Kabuto called. He turned his gaze towards that of the doctors, "Hm?"

"Everything is ready. I've got the bed set up along with all of the necessary equipment." Sasuke sighed, soon after taking a deep breath. He was becoming nervous. He so badly wanted to see Naruto smile again and hear his voice… and be able to look into the blonde's gorgeous sky blue eyes again.

But then Sasuke's thoughts drifted to that of someone else. Someone who's life was also in peril. His old comrade, Sakura. The words that she had said at one point struck him like lightning. "Konohamaru, you know what Sasuke is doing isn't right. Naruto wouldn't want this…" she had said to Konohamaru.

Sasuke may not have been in the room, but he had been outside of the door, listening.

"Dammit," Sasuke muttered, "Naruto just won't find out…" Kabuto eyed Sasuke worriedly, "Your not having second thoughts, are you?" Sasuke shook his head, insulted, "No! Of course not." If he had to choose between Naruto or Sakura, it would definitely be Naruto.

Kabuto smirked, "Shall we go and get her then?"

"Yes." Again Sasuke looked down to gaze upon Naruto. His expression looked so peaceful, yet his body was in anything but peace. He gently stroked a hand down Naruto's smooth, pale face. The blonde's skin colour looked so pale and fragile compared to his natural tanned colour. But Naruto was ill. Extremely ill, so of course he'd look cold and pale. "Hang in there, Naruto. Just a little longer and you'll be awake and well… I promise."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura yanked at the handcuff that was tightly put onto her wrist. Having Tsunade's power of super strength should have meant that Sakura could've broken them with no problem. But for some odd reason, her body couldn't summon it's chakra. Sasuke had probably done something to the room where she was kept. "Dammit!!" Sakura sobbed after another failed attempt of using her mighty chakra.

That's when suddenly the door to her room swung open, revealing both Kabuto and Sasuke. The nasty medic roughly grabbed Sakura as Sasuke removed the cuffs. "Its time to begin, Ms. Haruno," Kabuto informed as he began to drag her out of the room. She began screaming and thrashing, "No! Let me go!! Sasuke! Don't do this!! Naruto should just go to a hospital!!!"

"Shut up, Sakura! I already gave Tsunade a chance!" Sasuke yelled back angrily. "But now I've been trained in medics! I'm sure that if Tsunade and I work together-"

"Shut up!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lee and Neji rapidly went into a speed boat that they had rented. They were going to use it to get to the oil platform. Alfred stood on the dock, holding many papers. He then shuffled through them and formed a grim expression, "Master Neji, I think that you should get going. These results for the medical equipment are rather un-pleasant. Sakura is in danger!"

"Sakura!" Lee cried out worriedly. "We're on it!" Neji said hastily as they started the boat and zoomed out through the water.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kabuto tossed Sakura onto the bed that was placed beside Naruto. Both Sasuke and Kabuto held the girl down, who still continued to thrash around. "Stop!!" She yelled as Kabuto reached for a gasmask that was going to be put onto Sakura so that she'd fall unconscious.

But Sakura brought her fist up and punched Kabuto, sending him onto the ground along with the gasmask which hung over the bed by it's cord. Soon after she pushed Sasuke down onto the chilled floor as well, quickly getting up off of the bed. Sakura gritted her teeth as she moved to stand over Naruto's bed, "This is more then just a mere blood transfusion, isn't it?!" Her expression softened and she looked down at Naruto sadly, "Its more then that…"

Sasuke and Kabuto brought themselves back up from the ground. Sasuke glared at her with angered onyx eyes as Kabuto only smirked, showing her that she had guessed correctly. "Get away from him!!" Sasuke yelled as he activated his deadly Sharingan.

Sakura lifted her fist up in a threatening position, avoiding his eyes. "I'll do it… I'll punch him! Back off!" Sakura swallowed thickly. Threatening to hurt Naruto like that was beyond low. But that was the only idea that she had.

Sasuke and Kabuto hesitated, but then took a few steps back. Suddenly a plan formed within Sakura's head. It may have been a little cruel, but if she did it then she would have a chance to escape. There had to be a boat on this damned rig somewhere. How else would Sasuke and Kabuto get back and forth?

"I'm sorry, Naruto," Sakura whispered as she brought her fist down upon Naruto's bed. As soon as she made contact, the machine bed immediately stopped working. Sparks erupted from it. "Naruto!!" Sasuke cried. Sakura then withdrew her arm, turned around and began to run away.

Sasuke ran to Naruto, desperately trying to get the bed to work again. "You go after Sakura! I'll catch up with you later!" Sasuke said frantically. Kabuto nodded and began to take chase.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura had made her way outside. It was the area where she had reached the last time that she had ran away. As she desperately looked around, she noticed a ladder. The ladder went up a huge oil tank which had a platform that went all the way around it. The ladder led to this platform. She quickly began to climb up the ladder. Maybe from such a high view, she would spot a boat that she could highjack.

After she made it to the top, Kabuto emerged from the elevator, and run to the area below Sakura. "Get down from there!" He called angrily. "No!" Sakura screeched. Kabuto only became more annoyed. "COME.DOWN.NOW!" He then took out several kunai knives and began to throw them in a rage. Sakura dodged, causing the knives to pierce the vast wall of the oil tank behind her. The sharp knives punctured the tank, allowing thick, black oil to pour down onto both the platform where Sakura stood and the area below.

"Idiot! These are oil tanks!" Sakura cried. I was dangerous… If that substance came into contact with any form of heat, it could start an uncontrollable fire. It didn't help how the oil continued to ooze from the tank, covering much of the floor below.

Kabuto was about to throw yet another kunai, when quite suddenly Sasuke ran into the area and into Sakura's view. "Don't kill her!!" Sasuke hollered. "We need her for the operation!"

Kabuto sighed and turned to face Sasuke, "Don't you understand?" After what Sakura did, that would disturb him. He is no longer stable. We've run out of time. Naruto is as good as dead." Sasuke took Kabuto roughly by the collar and made the medic look into his menacing, Sharingan activated eyes, "Don't you dare say that! You will complete the operation! You hear-" Sasuke was soon interrupted as Neji and Lee appeared before them. "What? You!!" Sasuke hissed. Lee ignored Sasuke and looked up at Sakura, who continued to stand on the platform above, "Sakura!" She snapped her head around, "Lee!"

"Both of you leave," Sasuke threatened as he formed many hand signs. Kabuto gasped, recognizing those signs. "No! Stop Sasuke!" Kabuto cried frantically. But it was too late.

"Fire ball jutsu!"

The flames erupted from Sasuke's mouth like wildfire. Neji and Lee jumped out of the way, but that didn't matter. There was still much danger. The oil caught fire!

The fierce flames quickly spread. "Ahhh!!" Sakura screamed as the fire spread onto the platform. She'd have to get off! The oil tank could explode at any moment. Sakura quickly focused her chakra into the soles of her feet, running down the side of the tank and onto the floor below. But even here the fire raged and several crumbling objects fell from above.

"I'm outta here!" Kabuto cried as he began to head towards the elevator that would lead him back inside. "Your not going anywhere. The operation still needs to be done," Sasuke said impatiently as he grabbed Kabuto by the arm. Kabuto pushed Sasuke away from him. Sasuke was about to grab at the young medic again, but suddenly a large piece of the oil tank hit him, knocking the raven haired boy to the slippery ground. The metal piece buried one of Sasuke's legs underneath of it. He struggled to get free, but he couldn't get it off of him. The fire continued to blaze around them too, causing Sasuke to sweat.

"Kabuto, help," Sasuke begged. Kabuto turned around to face the trapped Sharingan user. "No, I'm outta here," Kabuto replied. Sasuke frowned as he used his Sharingan to knock Kabuto unconscious. Kabuto crumbled to the floor, "If I'm gonna die, Kabuto… hell, your coming with me."

After a few moments of thought and excruciating pain, Sakura, Lee and Neji approached and loomed over Sasuke. Sasuke looked up at them, allowing his Sharingan to fade away.

"My leg… its broken," Sasuke told them. "I won't be able to get Naruto or Konohamaru out of here… Could you please-" Neji cut him off, "Of course. We're going to help you too." Sasuke's eyes widened, "B-but why? After all I've done…" Sakura's eyes formed a sympathetic expression, "But it was for Naruto. It wasn't out of cold blood."

Sasuke groaned as Lee, Neji and Sakura lifted the metal away from his leg. Neji helped Sasuke up and allowed Sasuke to use him as a crutch. "Please hurry. The fire isn't too bad down there yet."

"Right."

Neji then handed Sasuke to Lee. "Lee, take Sasuke and get yourselves on the boat. Sakura is gonna come with me and we'll meet up with you after we retrieve Naruto and Konohamaru."

"Alright," Lee then dashed towards the rim, where the water was below and used his chakra to walk down the wall and towards their parked boat while holding Sasuke in his arms.

Neji and Sakura entered the oil rig. "Come on! I know where Naruto is!" Sakura coughed due to the smoke. "Okay." Sakura then led the way to the once chilled room. Now it was as hot as an oven. The once quiet room was now filled with crackling and snapping along with fire that whipped out at you. Also, the pale blue mist was now replaced by grey smoke.

As Neji neared Naruto's bed, Sakura followed the sound of coughing. She soon found the source of this wheezing and coughing. Konohamaru was hiding underneath one of the medical tables. Sakura gently pulled him out and took the frightened child into her arms, carrying him. "Let's get out of here," Neji said as he lifted Naruto up into his strong arms.

Sakura nodded and they began to run back outside.

They reached the outside area and both did as Lee had done. They focused their chakra and skidded down the crumbling wall. They jumped into the boat and as soon as they did so, Lee started the boat and rapidly began to get away from the dying oil platform.

When they reached the shore, they found out that the rig had blown up later that day…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- - - A Week Later

Sasuke sat within his jail cell. Of course he had been arrested for what he had done. But he was only charges for kidnapping, so he'd be set free soon enough.

Sasuke heard that Neji, Lee and Sakura had put Naruto into the hospital, in both Sakura's and Tsunade's care. He hadn't really heard anything about his beloved's condition though. Sakura would normally come and visit, telling Sasuke about how Naruto was doing. But last time she had come was around three days ago, and Naruto's health hadn't improved.

Just then a security guard stopped at the bars of Sasuke's cell. Sasuke looked up at him curiously. "You have a visiter," the guard informed. Sasuke nodded as the man left to bring his visiter to him. After the guard left, Sasuke looked down at the dusty floor. Hopefully it was Sakura. He wanted to know how Naruto was doing.

As the quiet footsteps neared, Sasuke snapped his head up once again. There, at his cage, stood someone whom he least expected. The figure had blond hair along with beautiful blue eyes. He also wore clothes that were a cheerful shade of orange. Sasuke could feel tears stinging the corners of his eyes. "Don't cry… its alright," his soft, gentle voice said as his own blue eyes began to fill with tears. "Naruto," Sasuke cried as he stood up and practically ran towards his ailing lover. Naruto slipped his hand through the bars, taking Sasuke's hand into his own. "Naruto… your alright." Sasuke began to rub his thumb against Naruto's palm.

Though Naruto were awake, Sasuke could still tell that he was ill. His hand was a little shaky and the paleness of his skin remained. He still had a bit to go. But he'd be okay. Sasuke would take care of him. And so would Tsunade and Sakura. One day, hopefully soon, Naruto would be at his full health again.
