Urgently, Sasuke hoisted her on to his back (much like a piggy-back ride), surprising both Naruto and Kakashi.

-"Teme! What they hell are you doing!"

-"Sasuke?" Kakashi asked.

-"Just follow me." And with that, Sasuke sped off, his two comerades in pursuit. Pumping indigo chakra into his feet, Sasuke willed himself to go faster towards his destination. In a few minutes, they arived to where'd they hoped to be. Stopping, Sasuke looked back to see if his comerades had followed him. Kakashi was standing there cooly, questions written all over the visible part of his face. Naruto however was no where to be seen.

-"What's wrong with Sakura? If you tell me Sasuke, I'll go look for Naruto while you take care of Sakura." Kakashi asked, staring at the large hospital in front of him.

Sasuke, who was edging to get in there and help his fallen comerade decided to comply. Sakura had fallen unconcsious anyway, so her dead weight was starting to make her hard to hold up.

-"Sakura coughed up blood so I'm taking her here to get help" And with that he walked inside the sliding doors of the hospital, leaving Kakashi shocked

'She has internal bleeding. But what could of caused it?'

Shaking his head to get rid of his thoughts, Kakashi sighed and started looking for Naruto, where ever he may be.

As Sasuke entered the hospital, he saw that it was nearly empty. The floor tiles were a forest green while the wall was a pale white. Pictures of nurse's and doctor's adorned its walls. The head nurse was at a square, light brown desk quietly reading a novel. Sasuke quietly cleared his throat to catch the nurse's attention. Which he did.

-"Yes how may I-" She stopped looking at him and Sakura and immediately jumped to her feet. "What happened!?" She exclaimed.

-"She coughed up blood and passed out. I think she needs medical attention."

With a nod, the nurse picked up a phone that was to her right and dialed a doctor's extention. She muttered a few words to the person on the other line before pausing and asking him,

-"How old are you and the girl? And what are your names?"

-"We're both 12. She is Haruno Sakura and I am Uchiha Sasuke."

She nodded and continued to talk for another few minutes before she hung up. Once she did, a doctor walked through the double doors pushing a lime green stretcher. He gave a nod and Sasuke carefully layed Sakura on the stretcher. The doctor then turned around and pushed the stretcher back through the double doors that serperated the hall buzzing with people (mainly doctors) to the waiting room that was nerarly lifeless.

-"Our doctors are going to test her to see what's wrong with her. But it's going to take a few hours so I suggest you do something to past the time. But you can stay here if you want."

Sasuke nodded and sat on a nearby chair and decided to wait it out. Any way, he could use some peace and quiet seeing that his loudmouth teammate and perverted sensei weren't here. But the peace didn't last. Only 10 minutes after he arived, Naruto burst through the door yelling like crazy.

-"WHAT HAPPENED TO-" he never was able to finish because a large hand clamped over him mouth.

-"Naruto we're in a hospital so no yelling, alright?" Kakashi mumered. Naruto nodded and Kakashi let go.

-"So Sasuke," Kakashi asked quite casually,"Where's our Cherry Blossom right now?"

-"She's being tested for whatever illness she may have." Sasuke answered.

-"How long will that take?" Naruto asked.

-"A few hours."

Naruto was left shocked. "A few HOURS!? HOW AM I-" This time Sasuke thrashed his head rendering him unconcsious.

-"Was that really necessary?" Kakashi inquired. Sasuke nodded in reply and did nothing more.

Three hours later...

Kakashi was reading Itcha Itcha Paradise while Sasuke was lost in his own thoughts when Naruto started to regain concsiousness. Slowly, his eyes opened up, revealing cerulean orbs.He than sat up and flinched when his head started throbbing.

-"Itai...what happened?" He muttered. Suddenly all of the memories of the day's past events flooded back to him, causing him to glare at Sasuke who just smirked in response. The small, one-sided glaring contest was interrupted when a doctor walked through the double doors, Sakura trailing behind, her coral bangs covering her eyes. Both doctor and patient looked very solemn. At once, all three boys noticed Sakura, each boy glad that she was "okay".

-"Sakura-chan! You're awake!" Sakura made no response to Naruto's comment.

-"Sakura?" Sasuke mumbled. Kakashi observed Sakura, how she was silent, depressed, and unresponding. All in all, Kakashi figured something was not right. The doctor was standing quite patiently, waiting for all comments to finish. When all had stopped, he cleared his throat and began speaking.

-"After many tests, we have come to the diagnosis of Haruno Sakura. What I am about to say may anger-" He was interrupted by Naruto who was getting ticked off.

-"Just hurry up and say it!" No one quieted him down because, they too, wanted to hear what was wrong with Sakura. The doctor just glared at Naruto (who glared back) and sighed.

-"Sakura has leukemia"
