Sorry for the delay..I was gone all day and didn't have time to type this chapter up. Plus school is starting soon which makes it worse!! Anyways...Enjoy

Sakura walked back to the waiting room where Kankuro and Temari were waiting. She gave them a sad look and immediately, Temari's eyes started to water, while Kankuro stared at the ground. "They say he has a very rare poison in his system that they don't have a cure for, but Tsunade is working on one. Unfortunately, the poison is effecting his system so fast that he only has about three weeks to live." Sakura hated repeating what Tsunade had told her, and after telling the Sand siblings the news, Temari started to cry harder.

"Can we see him?" Temari sobbed.

"I would think so."

Sakura led the two down into the emergency hall and to Gaara's room. Temari and Kankuro walked in while Sakura stayed outside. She couldn't go in. She didn't know why, but she couldn't. I don't know why I feel this way all of the sudden.

"Maybe you're finally realizing that you're going to miss him. Face it, you're falling for him and you've only been her for two days." Inner Sakura rubbed in.

'I am not. Yeah, I will miss him, but I know Tsunade will find a cure.'

"Hey, Temari. I'm gonna take a walk." Sakura called into the room.

There was no answer. She really didn't expect one so walked out of the hospital. Sakura walked through Konoha in deep thought. 'I hope she can save him.'

'See, you have grown a soft spot for him. But, how can you resist, right? Who wouldn't drool over the sight of his abs.'

'Would you stop. I don't like him.'

'Yeah, keep tellin' yourself that, hun.'

Sakura was to distracted talking to herself when she ran right into someone and fell to the ground. "I'm sor-Naruto?"

"Oh, hey Sakura. I thought you were on a mission to Suna?" Naruto said as he offered a hand to her.

Sakura gladly took it and stood up. "I was, but the situation seemed to be worse than what I was told, so I'm here." She replied.

"Really. What did you have to go to Suna for anyways?"

"I had to heal Gaara, but it didn't go to well."

"WHAT! What's wrong with him?" Naruto wanted answers.

"Well, to put it short, he has a poison in his system that's killing him."

Naruto looked at her shocked. "Isn't there a cure? I mean surely Grandma Hokage can fix 'em up."

"I hope so, Naruto." Sakura finished.

"Hey, let's just walk around." Naruto suggested.

Sakura smiled. "Okay."

It was dark out, but Sakura didn't want to go home. She enjoyed walking with Naruto. " So, what have you been doing while I was gone?" She asked.

"Nothing much. Training mostly."

Sakura giggled. Figures. That's all he ever does. "Hey, Sakura?"

"Hmm?"

"Can you come with me to the hospital? I really want to visit Gaara." Naruto asked.

Sakura knew he was going to ask her sooner or later. "I guess so."

"Great! Let's go."

Naruto grabbed her wrist and pulled her down the sidewalk.

At the hospital...

"Come on Temari, we should get going." Kankuro told.

Temari nodded. "You're right."

The two siblings walked out the door and left the hospital.

The window to Gaara's room slowly opened. "Finally gone."

Oh no who could that be!? Lol well I hope you enjoyed it. And again..sorry for the long delay.. R&R plz!
