I'm sorry. I had to. I know I said it was complete. I lied. The prospect of doing the same story from Sakura's point of view was just too tempting. So I'll warn you now that this is the exact same story as before, just from Sakura's mind and not Naruto's. I don't really expect it to be as funny, but it's hopefully still amusing.

Chapter Two: "And You Called Me Annoying..."

Rating: T (Mild violence, language, and a few suggestive remarks. Nothing really different from part I.)

Warnings: Mild OOC, because we know that when they DO find him again, Sakura probably WILL cry. More Karin bashing. Same ol' possible spoilers. Joking sasunaru references.

I would like many things to be known to many people. This is one of them:

Hyuuga Hinata, when she wants to be, is ridiculously fast.

Like, for instance, there are times when she walks into a hospital room to bring something to Naruto and accidently comes nose to nose with said object of affection. Although I feel sorry for her most of the time, It's pretty funny to watch her turn heel and bolt in the other direction. Or there's just about any time she hears Ino mutter the word "makeover". My point being, Hinata can run absurdly quickly when she needs to.

Now, I'm not saying I'm not pleased that she understands the fact that Sasuke probably needs medical attention as soon as possible. I'm just saying that it's awfully hard to keep up with her when she runs that fast.

And when she's the only one who knows where we're going, that's kind of important.

Nevertheless, we found him in time. And while I permitted Naruto to have his omgSasukealmostdied moment, I played hide and seek with his vital signs. Now, I'm not saying I wasn't freaking out on the inside. Hell, my mind was having a field day with Naruto. I mean really. But you see, there's one difference in between Naruto and I in these types of situations.

I learned a magical little trick called multitasking. Apparently Naruto hasn't discovered this yet, or I wouldn't have to yell at him all the damn time!

Well let's see, I could wait for him to come to his senses...no, no that won't work. Sasuke will bleed to death before that happens. Although it made for the fierce determination that I've grown to adore, that one-track mind makes me want to strangle him sometimes.

"Naruto, you idiot!" Quit gawking! He's not dead yet! "You're going to have to carry him!"

Honestly, do you really expect me to have the chakra to carry him back myself and heal him?

And if you start with the super-strength crap again, I will destroy you. Does this glare get that picture across? Go ahead, defy me. See what happens. But yet I heard this red-haired girl shout at him something about not touching her Sasuke-kun. Oh no. You did not. No, no Sakura, this is not the time for that. Save Sasuke now, beat the bitch up later. Yes. This is a good plan. I shoot Naruto another look just in case he may have found the other girl more intimidating.

Good boy.

This really tall guy that Sasuke-kun had apparently be traveling with told the other two that their leader was going to need a medic ninja, and that I looked fairly competent. You know, I like you. How on earth did you get stuck with these two?

Although, I'm not going to lie...the one with the white-ish hair is kind of cute. Oh for God's sake...this is so not the time!

And so I walked behind my best friend as he carried the unconscious love of my life over his shoulder into the sunset.

Wow...doesn't that just sound like bad yaoi? Well, I suppose a bad yaoi would have dramatic music. Either way, this moment is not really how I always pictured it in my head. But I suppose as long as I don't walk in on Naruto and Sasuke-kun making out passionately on the floor later, I can deal with it. Now maybe if it were Sai and Sasuke-kun...

...God, I love multitasking.

Well, I haven't left Sasuke-kun's side since we put him on this floor. Although I wish some of the other people had- it's way too crowded in here! Either way, I'm not about to leave Sasuke-kun until he's woken up. If for no other reason than somebody had to be here to beat off big red when he opened his eyes. I kinda wish he wouldn't though- he looks all cute when he's unconscious! Although, so do tigers, so I suppose that doesn't really say much, now does it?

I must have been looking at Sasuke weird, because Naruto's giving me that look. You know, the "do I have to go over there and kill me an Uchiha?!" look? Aww, you're so sweet Naruto, but no thanks. I'll do it when he's awake. It's much more satisfying that way. I vaguely recall some complaint from the red-haired girl, but at the moment I had more important things on my mind than to listen to her whine. Though if you want to kill her, Naruto, by all means- have at it.

"Oi, Sakura-chan? How is it going?" No, Naruto. I said punch the bitch, not make small talk. Though If you just feel led to make small talk, you may do it while you punch.

"Naruto, Let her concentrate." I always knew I liked you, Captain Yamato. Even if you do scare the blazes out of me.

I look up from Sasuke for a moment to see Hinata hovering over me with several cups of water. You have now been named my best friend for at least the next five minutes, and as such, I'm going to help you out. You see that other cup of water in your hand? Yes, that one. You're going to walk over and hand it to Naruto without fainting, do you understand? I don't need to treat another unconscious person. If you're on the floor, it better be with Naruto on top of you.

Hah. Like Naruto would ever have thoughts like that. Absurd. Although I haven't heard her hit the floor yet, so maybe it's not a total loss?

Sasuke-kun's eyelids flutter briefly and It's all I can do to keep from yelling 'it's about freaking time!' at him. All I do then is lace my fingers together and keep a calm expression while Naruto comes bounding up like someone just offered him ramen.

I heard an irritated groan as Sasuke-kun opened his eyes and looked at Naruto. That's okay, you just keep looking that way. Don't notice that I'm here. Pay no mind to the fact that you'd be dead without me. See if I care. No, no, Sakura. All in good time. Just keep smiling.

"You did it, Teme"

"Hn. Yeah." You see, this is when I have to keep from busting out laughing. Sasuke, darling, your injuries aren't there anymore. Yeah, that's right, I got rid of them. Okay, it's not funny anymore. Stop looking.

How hard did Itachi hit you on the head?

"Sakura healed you, idiot. You would probably be dead if she hadn't come along. Pretty lucky, huh?" See, this is why I keep you around. Well, other than the whole 'best friend' thing. Details, details.

"Sa..ku..ra?" I almost broke my smile and gaped at him. Have you gone st..u..pid?!

"You...healed me?" Yes, yes you have gone stupid. Either that or you genuinely cannot believe that I've actually become useful. I prefer the first. It's so much easier not to hit you if I pretend it's the first.

Now, if you hadn't known Sasuke-kun for as long as we have, you would have missed it, but the expression in his eyes is priceless. What were you expecting, dear Sasuke? Tears? Me to throw myself in your arms and spew adolescent declarations of eternal devotion?

Right, because that's worked in the past. Do I look thirteen years old to you?

"Sakura..."

Oh no... He's not going to...

"...thank you."

...say it.

SLAM!

You know, looking back at it, I was planning on waiting until we got back to Konoha to send him flying. But you know? This was just as good. Almost as good as the look on Naruto's face when he went through the wall, which, by the way, was priceless.

Shannaro, bitch. "You're welcome, Idiot." I thought the latter was a little more appropriate...at least for the audience.

That look of confusion in his eyes just got better as he looked up at me from what used to be the completing unit in a set of four walls. I imagined if he was capable of talking he would say something along the lines of "what the hell was that?". I just smile sweetly at him, sincerely this time, for as much as I hate him at the moment, I still ultimately love him at the end of the day. It's like some sort of infectious disease. I'm left pondering that as I walk out the door.

Oh I'm sure there's a penis joke in here somewhere. Where is Sai when you need him?

In the next room, I see that Hinata was thoughtful enough to set out a bed roll for me and waste no time in plopping on top of it with my eyes closed.

"WHAAAAAAAAT?!"

Hmm? Not now, Naruto. It's time to sleep. There are still three walls left for you.

"I don't EVER want to hear that I'm the weird one on this team again."

...the hell was that about?

I have one more chapter written from Sasuke's point of view. I may or may not post it, as it's not really as funny as the other two, and not nearly as long. We'll see.

The first person to tell me that the yaoi fangirl moment was out of character gets bonked on the head. Sakura is the original SasuSai fangirl. That one manga chapter totally proved it.
