"This is it" Thought Shikamaru. He knew that if he brought this bloody boy to the hospital, they wouldnt help him. People everywhere hated him. Then something popped into Shikamaru's mind. 'Tsunade doesnt hate him... I NEED TO GET HIM TO HER OFFICE AND FAST... but how would i get there on time? i guess i have to chance it and run. I grabbed Naruto's limp arm, and quickly pulled him up and ran off, carrying him like a baby. He ran out the door, looking right, before running again. He looked down at the blonde who was seemingly happy in his comatose state, and frowned. I cant believe i never noticed how much he was hurting, and how much the village hated him. I mean, i knew he was a jinchuriki and all, but he wasnt the 9 tailed fox. He is Naruto Uzumaki of the hidden leaf. Nothing else. But im afraid if i dont get him to Tsunade soon, ill have to see who he was. No, i cant think like that. he'll be ok, right? He is the strongest person, and shinobi i know. Shikumaru gazed at the blonde as he started to turn pale. This isnt good. After all the blood he lost, his death was almost certain.
Shikumaru looked up, noticing the hokage's building was in sight. Shikumaru suddenly got a surge of energy and sped up. He reached the front doors and swung them open, running to the hokage's office. He was almost at her office, when a member of the masked ninja known as ANBU appeared and stood in his way.
"Get out of my fucking way! Can you not see this boy is dying!? Where's Tsunade?" Shikamaru asked hastily.
"He has no chance. I can see how much blood is on his clothing. Just that right there is enough to kill you. Not to mention the pool of blood that was probably underneath him." Said the masked man, without a care.
"Well than lets hope a fucking miracle he will pull through. Because im not letting him die, not now, not ever. now can you shut the fuck up and lead me to Tsunade!? " asked the very annoyed, and emotionally taken Shikamaru. All the ANBU member did was look down the hall and point, before vanishing leaving only a cloud of black smoke behind. Shikumaru quickly ran and swung open the door, to a half naked Tsunade.
"AHHH! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?! EVER HEARD OF KNOCKING OR THE TERM PERSONAL SP-" Tsunade stopped her words at the sight of an unconcious, bloody, pale Naruto. Tsunade instantly picked up on why Shika didnt take Naruto to the hospital. She threw on a robe, not even caring what Shikumaru just saw. She ran of to Nruto, tears welling in her eyes, but she quickly shook it off, knowing crying would do absolutely nothing. She instantly ran to the door. Shikumaru stared at her, about to yell. It looked like Tsunade was about to flee, then he realized all she was doing was grabbing Shizune. Tsunade grabbed Shizune by the arm and pulled her into the room. An extremely stunned Shizune stared, in shock. She didn't know what had happened, but if she didn't react fast, it would be too late. She looked at Shika, then stared at a table, telling him to lay Naruto on it. Shika doing so, started to cry.
I couldn't see anything, except a bright light that sone infront of him. 'Is this it? Is this what dying looked like?' Naruto asked himself. He looked at the light, hearing in stories and movies that this is how it looked like when you die. Naruto started towards the light, relieved that suicide worked for him. He started to pick up the pace as he heard crying. 'That crying couldn't be for me, could it? No, it couldn't be. Im better off dead. Im doing the people i care about a favour'. He continued on towards the light.
"Shizune, grab gauze, anti-bacterial wipes, and anything else you would think would be needed, and hurry!" Said a very worried Tsunade.
"Hai" Shizune said, rushing through her bag of emergency medical supplies. She ended up grabbing a hooked needle, string, and alot of gauze and cotton balls.
"His stats are becoming faint, hurry!" yelled a very scared Tsunade.
"His breathing has stopped completely!" cried a tear stricked Shizune
"I dont hear a heartbeat" said Tsunade, now starting to sob. Its over. Its all my fault. I could have run faster, i could have realized what he was going through, but i didnt bother to pay attention to the clearly hurting boy. Shikamaru started to bawl. He felt like he was falling to pieces. What was this god damned feeling he felt for Naruto? Was it love? Shikamaru hadn't really felt anything strongly on the emotional level for anybody, but his team mates and friends, but that was like a brother sister kind of love. Shika looked down at the peaceful, unmoving body of the blonde boy. The boy once named Naruto Uzumaki,
"NOOOOOO! NARUTO YOU CANT LEAVE ME! YOU JUST CANT! NARUTO C-COME BACK, PLEASE! I CANT LIVE WITHOUT YOU!" Screamed the broken boy.
All this did was made him, and the 2 balling ladies, bawl even more.
"AHHHHHHH" Shikamaru screamed. This would be the scream nobody in the building would ever forget. His scream echoed through the building, followed by loud sobs and pleading. This blood curdling, stomach twisting scream Shikamaru just let out, showed his true feeling for Naruto. It was love.
