Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto. If I did I would make it a high school setting instead. Haha!:D and if I did own Naruto, it wouldn't be so popular like it is now. Bottomline: Masashi Kishimoto should keep the ownership instead.. :D

Chapter 6: It's my turn to save you…

When they got there, the three were panting and the doctor asked, "Where's the one who has the O-negative blood?"

"Me." Sakura said, her eyes full of determination.

"Very well, this way please. All of you kindly wait here." He told Sakura and the others while Sakura followed him to the operating room. Wearing the necessary sterile suit, she followed inside and saw a pale-skinned Naruto. His hair was still in a mess, he was lying on his chest, his tuxedo cut at the area where the bullet was, and still unconscious. Sakura was about to breakdown but she stopped herself. She knew Naruto was gonna live. After a few observations of Naruto, she was directed to lie down at a spare bed and relax herself so they could go on with the transfusion. She did what she was told and closed her eyes to relax herself. She thought what she felt when she looked at Naruto's eyes. She felt nothing but pure love and a hint of loneliness that he was trying to hide. The doctors felt that she was ready so they began with the transfusion.

'It's my turn to save your life, Naruto.' Sakura thought with determination. Nothing could ever take away her determination from her right now, not even the sight of Naruto's bloody body because she knew he was going to live. She knew she would be able to look into his cerulean eyes that had nothing but pure love for her, and at that very moment, she knew it was her turn to return the favour to him.

At Heaven Restaurant where Naruto was eating…

"Another round of miso ramen please!" Naruto exclaimed with joy as if he didn't care that he was dying and all.

"Coming up!" The server answered him. So he waited. After some minutes of waiting, the server was coming to his table with his ramen. She put the ramen in his table and left him to eat. He was about to put the ramen into his mouth when suddenly, his chopsticks and ramen disappeared and found himself standing at the hospital. He was disappointed.

"Aaah!! What happened? Where did my ramen go? Waaaaaahhhh!! Wait, where am I this time? Naruto said particularly to no one. He continued to walk again saw his dad, mom, and Ino in sitting in the hallway.

"Mom! Dad!" Naruto called out and ran towards them but they didn't hear him. They were talking to one another.

"I really hope Sakura saves him. He still has a lot to do in this world. He can't just die and leave us yet." Kushina said.

"Don't worry auntie, I'm sure Sakura would save him. Before Sakura followed the doctor into the room, I saw her eyes and they were really determined. She was not going to back down from this." Ino said.

'Sakura-chan? She's saving me right now? How is she doing it?' Naruto thought. His thoughts were answered when Minato spoke,

"I just hope the blood transfusion works."

"Oh it will work out, honey. Sakura has O-negative type blood. Since the bullet has been removed, all they have to do is close the wound and everything will be fine." Kushina said.

"Yeah, don't worry yourself too much, uncle. It's all fine now." Ino said reassuringly.

"Yeah. It will be fine now." Minato said, giving a half-hearted smile.

Naruto went on walking inside the room where he was being operated. He saw his body and was shocked that at what he looked like.

'Tsk tsk tsk. How could Sakura-chan like someone like that? I just wish they put on some good clothes on me after this.' Naruto thought.

He turned to his right and saw Sakura with bags under eyes, still wearing her gown, and her eyes were closed.

"Sakura-chan, you still look so beautiful. Even if you didn't get any sleep yet you still maintain your beauty. That's one of the reasons I love you, Sakura-chan." He said, Sakura didn't hear it of course. Naruto leaned in closer to her,

"I love you so much, Sakura-chan." Naruto whispered to her and kissed her in the cheek.

Sakura suddenly opened her eyes in shock when she felt the kiss. She was sure it was a kiss, no doubt about it, so she called out, "Naruto?" but when she turned to the side, she saw Naruto's still unconscious body. The doctor told her, "Sorry, he's not awake yet. The blood you donated is okay now. You may go outside. He will be transferred in a room shortly. Please get something healthy to eat to regain the blood you lost." The doctor said. Sakura was about to go out when she heard the heart monitor's beep. "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…" She looked straight at it and was terrified.

"Shit! Get the defibrillator!" The second doctor ordered.

"NARUTO!!" Sakura ran to his side and held his hand. The first doctor was trying to stop her,

"Miss the transfusion is over. Please go out and get something to eat. We will handle this."

"NO! I won't leave him. Naruto! Please don't leave me! Stay with me please! Please! Naruto please! Don't leave me! Please!" Sakura said while crying heavily.

"Miss I said you're not allowed here! We will handle this!" The first doctor said again as they turned Naruto over so he was lying on his back. They cut through his white undershirt and began to perform CPR.

"Naruto please stay with me! Please don't leave me. You told me you never back down right? Please, do this for me. Please Naruto! Don't leave me! Please!" Sakura repeatedly said while she was holding Naruto's hand.

"You said you love me, right? Then do this for me, please Naruto! I don't want to lose you! Come on best friend! Fight it! I know you're strong. Please, don't leave me!"

Kushina heard Sakura yell Naruto's name and got a bad feeling about it.

"Minato! Go in there! I heard Sakura scream Naruto's name. I'm having a bad feeling right now." Kushina said, panic-stricken.

Minato opened the door and there he saw it, the doctors performing CPR on Naruto while Sakura held his hand while crying. Kushina ran towards the door and saw the things that she would never like to see done to any of her loved one, especially her son. She broke down and cried hard.

"Oh Minato! This can't be happening! Not to Naruto!" she sobbed in Minato's arms again while Ino also watched in tears as her two friends suffer.

The doctors saw Minato standing so the first doctor closed and locked the door. Minato couldn't do anything but burst into tears for his only son while Kushina sobbed in his arms.

Naruto watched as the scene inside the operating room was taking place. He was also shedding a tear for himself.

"One thousand one, One thousand two, One thousand three.. Clear!" the first doctor was performing the revival while Sakura was crying in the background, still holding Naruto's hand which is getting colder by the minute. Naruto couldn't take it anymore. He had to will himself to fight.

"Come on! Fight it! I won't let Sakura-chan suffer like this!" Naruto said to his body but it didn't even hear him and remained motionless.

"Naruto! Please stay with me! Don't leave me! Please! I need you, Naruto! Don't leave me please! I love you! Naruto! Naruto!" Sakura said.

'Sakura-chan said she loves me. I should fight this!' Naruto thought but found himself disappearing.

"No! No! I won't die yet! Not after Sakura-chan said she loves me. No way! No!! I've been waiting for her to say that for a long time! Please No! Sakura-chan!!" Naruto yelled.

"Naruto! I love you! Please, don't leave me." was the last thing Naruto heard from Sakura and everything disappeared from his sight and turned white.
