I do not own Naruto

All Sakura could see was darkness, at one moment she thought she had died, although that thought quickly vanished when she felt her side explode in pain. The only thing Sakura was wondering about was where she was. All she saw was dark, it looked like no one was around her and no sounds were being made. It had scared her a little bit, she was standing and decided that the best course of action was to move and try to find something or at least something. She couldn't just stand there and wait for something or someone to get her; it could be Freddy Fazbear for all she knew.

The rosette started running, trying to find something but the only thing that was going past her was darkness. After what seemed like forever she heard a voice, and although she was glad to finally hear something the voice made her spine shiver and she dreaded the voice because there was such coldness in the voice.

"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"

Sakura quickly turned around to see a fairly tall man with a false smile plastered on his face; he wore a simple white shirt and black pants with a purple long coat over top. His eyes were closed but Sakura could feel that something was off about the man.

"Who are you?" Sakura asked

"Why I am just a traveler, wondering seeking things that are rare, and you my young lady are quite rare" the man said in a fake cheery voice.

All the rosette could do was to take a step back, the man was giving her some bad vibes and she didn't want to be near him for long.

"Where am I?" the rosette asked again.

"Well that is a question that is hard to answer, we are in both in the land of the living and the land of the dead and it is the realm in between." The man answered.

Questions floated in Sakura's head, she knew she wasn't dead so why was she here?

"Because you are questioning if you should continue on living or not." The man answered again.

"You want to live so you can experience love or not, do crazy things, save life's, but on the other hand you want to pass on so you don't have to suffer anymore, you can end everything, so you don't have to see your old friends anymore, you just want your pain to stop and to be free" the man explained again.

Sakura listened to what the man said. Everything of what he said was right and she knew it. The rosette didn't want to leave Neko behind but if she wanted to free from this pain at one point, she wasn't sure if she was ready to fall in love with another man, hell she still had feelings for Itachi even though she hated to admit it.

"Although we are in the in between realm, do you wish to see how people are reacting to your coma state?" the man asked.

"I would please" the rosette answered.

The man could only let out a low chuckle as the darkness around them started to shift a little bit, the darkness was getting lighter, and lighter and after a few minutes the darkness was gone and Sakura felt like she was a ghost, she was watching her own body; tied up to a bunch of machines and Neko sitting a chair next to her, the raven haired woman's body was leaning onto the bed, her hands into a pray position, clutched tight and her eyes were tightly closed also. Sakura couldn't help but to feel bad for the pain she was putting Neko through.

Suddenly it was like hours had past and Neko was suddenly gone. Sakura didn't want her to leave.

"Neko!" Sakura cried out

The man behind her started to chuckle, Sakura swiftly turned to him and that same creepy smile was still on his face and the only thing the rosette could do was glare at him.

"What?" the rosette snapped.

"Nothing out there can here you, for you are trapped in your sub-consciousness"

"So what am I supposed to do?" The rosette asked.

"You are to heal and if you want to live then you will simply wake up when you want, however if you lose heart and do not wish to continue on then you will in other words just fade away"

"Now young one, do you wish to fight, or do you wish to fade?"

And with that the man just faded into the darkness and all Sakura could do was stare at the empty space where the strange man once stood. Sakura turned back to the window to where a new scene was playing out. It shocked her.

It was Hinata Hyuga.

"Sakura? I-I don't know if you can hear me or not but the nurses suggested talking to you for your sake…and mine."

There was some silence before the violet beauty continued on.

"I don't know what to do anymore. I-I thought that Karin was a nice girl but that proved to be wrong, and I know that I have no right to say anything…for what I did to you so many years ago, and Sakura you got to the place where you dreamed to be. I don't even know if I want to be a Detective or not"

More silence went through the room and the only thing that could be heard was the heart monitor.

"I stand outside of this door every day, thinking if today was the day to go in and visit you or not, and every day I would stand just outside that door hearing what Neko-sama had to say and I would always cry. When she first saw me there she gave me the harshest glare she could muster, but as days went by weeks, she I guess warmed up to me? She just now looks at me and nods but I would always catch her whispering 'she's waiting for you'"

Hinata then started to sob and her facade started to crack.

"I-I miss you so much Sakura, I didn't think I would but I do, you were a great friend and I wish I had never let you go. I'm so sorry!" Hinata sobbed

Sakura didn't know what to do at this point.

Fight or fade?

Hey guys,

So last time I updated was like may I think...?

I'm sorry but a lot of things happened.

I needless to say, I am fighting depression really bad right now.

A few months ago I was so bad and everything was going so wrong that I was starting to cut myself, and a month away I had almost killed myself. I almost went too deep and almost ended it.

My mom found out (after I left home for a week...I just...left) and I started to get help.

So I have battled life a lot so far because my dad's death hit me a lot harder than I thought it would.

I am going to try and update more often but now between Work, Doctor appointments, Therpist appointments, its getting harder.

I am so sorry for not updating thank you all for understanding!

~Neko~
