Past and Future Misfortunes

Chapter Two: The Waking of A Blonde

Recap:

Sakura smiled weakly at the now healed man. Wiping the sweat off her face with a damp rag. She started to feel as if only she could help this young man. She grabs wipes and towels to clean off his face. She moved the hair out off his face.

Sakura gasped, and dropped the cleaning items.

'Naruto.'

End of Recap

Beeping monitors filled the silent room. Sakura sat at the edge of Naruto's bed, holding one of his hands in both of hers. She sat there for an hour or so rubbing his hand, watching him sleep peacefully. Thinking to herself, 'Naruto, What happened? I never thought that we would meet again; it's been so long since we even saw each other. Damn it, he better be happy. I let him off the hook for pay, and let alone make him my patient. No one else is allowed through the door to his room, except for myself. '

Naruto's breathing turn to less longer breaths, to normal ones. His body shivered before he sat right up saying, "You assholes! You'll never take me alive!" Sakura sighed how was she supposed to handle any of this?

He looked around, and zeroed in on her, "Sakura-chan?"

Sakura froze before replying, "Yes, Naruto-kun?"

Naruto's eyes widen, and mouth set agape, "Oh my god! Sakura-chan!"

Naruto gave her a bear hug, "Is this really you? This isn't as dream?"

Sakura returned the hug, and tears rolled down her face, "If this was a dream, I couldn't do this." Sakura smile sweetly, and Naruto smiled back waiting to find out what it was.

Sakura punch him, hard. Naruto fell backwards back onto the bed, "OW! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?"

Sakura replied, "Baka! That's for being an ass being found like that, anyone could have notice who you were and did something." She punch him again, "That one is for making me pay for your doctor bills and you being my patient that no one else can be around. Unless you wanted to be threaten when your recognize!" She punched him again, "That's for being an idiot, and even if that's why were friends!"

Naruto waited with his arms held up in defense waiting for another punch. It never came; he looked up to see Sakura with a tear rolling down her face.

Sakura fell onto Naruto's lap silently crying on him. She was crying because she was happy, and the fact that someone you thought was dead, dying, or hurt in the worse ways possible, and then, they just suddenly come back into her life, and she never cried in months maybe even years. Now she could, and release all the building up emotions that she never had time to release.

Naruto held her, and whisper, "There better be ramen shops around here, I miss it so much."

Sakura giggled, she always missed that idiot and his attitude that she learn to love.

"I don't get off anytime soon, and you can't get out anytime soon unless you want to die of internal bleeding. So, I guess I'll have to get you the quick three minute made ones that are made downstairs."

Naruto's face lit up, "Can I have some now?"

Sakura kept her smile on, "If you promise not to leave with out saying a goodbye."

Naruto smile, "Of course Sakura-chan, now where's my ramen?"

Sakura replied, "What am I? Your maid?"

Naruto sigh, "Would you like some of my money?"

Sakura sternly looked at him, "Hell no, I'll up with your food momentary sir."

Naruto put on a grumpy face, as he dugged into his pocket. 'It's so hard to please women, especially Sakura-chan.' Naruto thought before handing over 336 ryo.

Sakura snatch it up, "Thank you, I'll should be back in a few. Take care."

'Easy for you to say 'take care' you don't have over twenty people that know your face and name out of this country wanting you dead. Or is it now thirty? At least I know the right people to keep me out of the bingo book, that's why Sakura, Sasuke, and I aren't in it…yet.'

He heard a knock on his window; it was a bird use to carry messages. Naruto opened the window and the bird flew on top of his shoulder.

Dear NU,

This is your friend for whom you work for. I am sorry to say but I couldn't stop them from putting you in the bingo book coming out in three months, so don't do anything to make yourself known. This includes pranks, and clumsiness. Before you step foot inside my house look around first, more and more ninjas suspect you to be hiding here. They are starting to check my mail now, from airmail or not. So next time say you're my grandpa or uncle. And write so only I know what it would mean.

You friend,

Boss

P.S. that was the first name that came o mind for nicknames. When you write to me as an unknown person, call me boss. When you're playing the part of an uncle or grandpa, just act like one and call me something a family member would say. And NU is your initials. In case someone gets a hold of this, I didn't want to mention your name.

P.S.S. Burn or somehow destroy this message as soon as possible. Many people would love your bounty.

Sakura came in noticing it was a few degrees warmer than usually, and there was a feather on Naruto's hospital clothes.

Sakura sat the two steaming cups of ramen down, "What the hell happen here Naruto?"

Naruto gulped, no matter how long they've been apart and all of his training; he sucks at lying, "Just r-resting here Sakura-chan."

Sakura eyed his suspiciously, "You think I can believe that?"

Naruto hung his head; "I got a message from a friend that says I'll be in the bingo book in the next three months or so. And then I had to burn it making sure no one would get a hold of it after I got it."

Sakura seemed furious, "You use your natural charka reserves, for burning paper instead of asking me for help?"

Naruto gulped, "But the bright side is that am living with you until he says its safe for me to return, if you'll let me."

Sakura glared menacingly into his eyes, "For an exchange to tell me what you've done to reach the bingo books, Naruto."

Naruto shivered in his bed sheets, hospital blankets are thin and they couldn't help his shivering even if they were thick.
