Recap:
"Say goodbye, Sakura." Ino said, smiling evilly. Sakura writhed on the ground as Ino moved to deliver the death blow.
Sakura turned to the doorway with her eyes half-closed to see who would watch her die. "Sasu…" she whispered, before everything went black.
"Sakura!!" Sasuke yelled, running over and dropping down to cover Sakura from the shot. Ino had realized who covered Sakura too late.
And she pulled the trigger.
Sasuke kept his eyes shut tightly, waiting for the pain. But it never came.
There was a click, then silence.
He opened his eyes slowly, holding Sakura to his chest and turning toward Ino. She was staring at him in horror ad shock.
"Sasu…Sasuke? She said, lowing the gun, which was previously pointed at his head. "Ino… what…"
Before anyone else could say anything, the door to the roof opened. The principal, flanked by one of the weeping fan club girls, stepped into the midday sunlight.
"Tsu-Tsunade-Sama… I…" Ino dropped the gun. "Ino Yamanaka… come with me." Tsunade said, scowling.
Ino shook her head and dropped to her knees, sobbing. "I'm so sorry! What was I thinking?! Trying to shoot Sakura was a mistake!!" Tsunade looked alarmed. "Sakura! Where's Sakura?!"

Sasuke was running his fingers franticly over Sakura's wrist, trying to find her pulse. At first, he could find nothing, but soon enough he found a faint bum-bump.
Sasuke hugged Sakura closer when Tsunade came over to him, shutting her cell phone from calling 911. He was staring straight ahead, his eyes wide with fear. "He's traumatized." Tsunade thought, heartbroken.
"Sasuke…" She said urgently but gently, dropping to her knees. He gripped Sakura tighter and looked up at Tsunade. She could see the fear in his eyes.
"Sakura needs to get to a hospital, quickly. Can I have her, please?" Tsunade said, keeping her tone light. Sasuke stared at her, then shook his head furiously.
"Sasuke… We need to get her to a doctor NOW." Tsunade said, resting a hand on his shoulder, her expression intensifying.
Sasuke looked at her for a second longer before tears ran freely from his eyes. "Please, Tsunade-sama. Please, save Sakura!"

Beep
Shit.
Beep
Am I… Dead?
Beep
"Sakura…" Sasuke?
Bee-Beep….
Are you there, Sasuke?
Beep….
Am I dead?
Beeeeeeeee….

"Sakura! Don't you quit on me!!" Sasuke yelled, pounding his fists on the door, hearing the flat tone from the other side.
"Sasuke! Shut up and let the surgeons do their job!" Tsunade said, covering his mouth and eyes with her hands. Tears came to his eyes as he struggled against Tsunade's super-human strength.
"Clear." Sasuke heard a surgeon say. An electrical sound, and then a clunk came from the other side of the door. "No response." A nurse reported.
Sasuke struggled even harder. "Let go of me! Sakura! Hang on! I'm coming… don't give up!" He kept yelling out, but couldn't get free.
"Clear." The electrical sound and the clunk came again. All eight doctors turned to the heart monitor.
Beep. Beep. Beep
They all breathed a sigh of relief. "She's alive…" One nurse breathed, smiling. "But our work isn't done yet. There is still some bleeding to stop."
"One of the bullets is still inside." another added. "And there is severe muscle, tissue, and bone damage. We have a long night ahead of us."

-- Around 10:00 at night. --
A nurse walked into the waiting room to find Sasuke. As soon as Sasuke noticed the nurse was looking for him, he stood up and ran to her.
"Where's Sakura?! Will she be ok, did you do everything you could, and most importantly… is she alive?!" Sasuke ran on and on and on.
The nurse looked startled then smiled warmly. "Miss Haruno will be just fine. She's still in need of some blood, and …" "I'll give it! How much does she need?!" Sasuke begged.
"Well… what is your blood type?" The nurse asked. "Type O." he answered. "Perfect, then. Let's double-check, just in case."
--
A little later, Sasuke was a pint lighter and dizzy. "It's the least I can do…" he thought.
After giving blood, he asked the nurse, "When can I see her?" The nurse looked troubled. "Well… she's not awake yet, and she looks pretty bad and she needs your blood transfu…"
"Please, miss… Just let me see my Sakura." The nurse took one look at his pained expression and sighed. "Ok. I'll lead you to her room."
They walked down the hall in silence. When they got to the door the nurse smiled at him. "You're a very caring boyfriend."
"I'm not her… she's not my…!" Sasuke stammered, blushing. "Uh-huh. Then why did you call her YOUR Sakura?" The nurse giggled at his blushing face, opened the door for him, and walked back down the way they'd come.
Sasuke walked into the room being as silent as possible. When he pulled back the curtain, he wasn't prepared for what he saw.
Sakura was a mess… bandaged everywhere, her pink hair dyed red in some places, and a pained expression on her face.
Sasuke grimaced and walked forward. He pulled a chair to the side of the bed and took one of her hands in both of his.
The second his skin touched hers, her expression became restful. Peaceful. A small smile played on her lips.
He leaned in toward her ear and squeezed her hand. "You feel this?" he whispered, holding her hand tightly. "I'm not ever going to let go, Sakura."
