Yay next chapter. Hope ya'll like it!
"What? What is it?" Temari impatiently asked.
"Well, there seems to be something in his system."
"You mean like drugs? 'Cause I'm pretty sure that he doesn't do drugs." Kankuro pointed out.
Sakura sighed. "No, not drugs. It could be some kind of poison, or even a virus. But from what I can pick out, it seems that it's in it's early stages so it's not harmful right at this moment. But if it stays in his system much longer, it could grow into something more harmful or even deadly."
"Well, do you have any idea of what it could be?" Temari questioned.
Sakura shook her head. "No. I don't have equipment with me that I need in order to figure out what exactly it is."
"But how did it get into his system in the first place?" Kankuro asked.
"Well, it can't be from kunai or any other weapon, because there isn't any stab markings or anything. So, really the only other options are through food or drink intake." Sakura stated.
"So you're saying, his food was tampered with." Temari clarified.
She nodded. "But seeing how much the virus has done to his body already, and it's been less than a week, it looks to be deadly."
"What do you mean? What has it done to his body?"
"Change of skin color, chakra basically depleted, and his heart rate is below normal."
Temari bit her lower lip. "I can do as much as I can, but if it doesn't help and the symptoms get worse, he needs to be seen by an expert."
"Is there anything else wrong, like broken bones?" Temari wondered.
"He has three cracked ribs, and a sprained wrist."
Temari and Kankuro nodded and left the room. Sakura started to get to work. She wrapped his wrist and torso up after she was done repairing the damage. Doing this took a few hours, along with trying to figure out what was in his system. She sat back and sighed in exhaustion. "What's wrong with you, Gaara?" she mumbled to herself.
"A lot of things."
Sakura jumped and noticed Gaara was awake. " I really didn't expect you to answer." she commented.
"I knew that." Gaara answered with a small smile.
"Wow, he even has a hot smile!" Inner Sakura squealed.
"Would you stop!"
"I am you."
"Looks like I'm not the only one with problems." Gaara commented.
"Huh, what do you mean?"
"Well you've only been staring into space."
Sakura glared at him and he returned it. Then he started to get up. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Going to bed. It is 11 o'clock."
Sakura glanced at the clock. He was right. "Fine, but don't push yourself."
"Hn."
Gaara then started to cough. Sakura looked at him, worried. "Are you okay?"
He didn't answer, but just kept going up the stairs. Sakura sighed. He can be stubborn at times. "I should get to bed." she yawned.
