Both of them hated the hospital; it was the worst place to be. Sakura lay in her crisp white bed with only her undergarment dress on. The short dress was a spaghetti-strap kind with a V-neck, but the main problem was that it was see through. Kakashi disliked this because he could see the blood stains on her stomach from where she was scratched by a fence when she had fallen. He had immediately ran over to her but jet lag made it hard for him to maintain his speed. However, he had managed to lift her up and carry her slowly to the now-dirty-white-truck she loved so much. Whilst placing her carefully on the back seat he had begun to cry. He did not want this to happen, not now. Swinging one door shut and flinging the driver's door open, looking back to see if she was safe, and then glaring at the dying tornado as he sped towards the closest hospital made him anxious. Now, here he was in her hospital room, praying for the best. A lady in a white lab coat rushed in and asked if Sakura had woken up; Kakashi shook his head. She typed in a few things to the computer and then rushed out of the room again. Kakashi went to the bedside, kissed Sakura's forehead, and sprinted out of the room to the car. He changed quickly into his athletics shorts and shirt in the bloodstained back seat so that it was easier to move around in the hospital. Fortunately, there was nobody at the desk because everyone else was treating other patients so he could go straight back to the room without being questioned. The lady had returned to the room and was measuring Sakura's back. She sighed.

"Sakura has broken the lower part of her back in one place, but there are two other parts that are fractured; but don't worry they will heal up in time. However, there are some nerves so deep inside her spine that we can not fix, because of this her brain is dying," the male doctor said when he entered the room.

"What do you mean 'some nerves'? Why can't she choose surgery?" Kakashi was furious now.

"The nerves are too deep inside her back and they have also been connected with the other broken nerve links causing the brain to malfunction for her left arm and soon her whole left side. We cannot control this, instead, we will try to give her the best of care."

"Then let me take her home. That is the best care for her," Kakashi was trying to keep his cool.

"We cannot let you in case an emergency breaks out."

"What emergencies? How could it get worse than this? Oh, never mind... Then please let me see her every single day. We just got married today..."

"We can arrange for another bed in here by the window, but you must promise us that you will not take her away, because if her back cracks..." the doctor broke himself off as he could see that Kakashi already knew the procedures. "We'll leave you two be then. She should wake up soon," the doctor finished and walked out of the room with the lady in the white lab coat.

"What do they know? What do I know...?" asked Kakashi to himself. He paced for a while until he heard a groan coming from the bed. "Sakura!"

"Ugh... Where am I, Kaka-kun? Why does my back hurt?" asked Sakura as she slowly moved her right arm to touch her lower back.

"Stop! Don't touch that area!" yelled Kakashi. He hurried to her side and gently laid her back into her position. "I'm sorry, but you mustn't touch your back..." Tears welled up in his eyes.

"What's happening, Kakashi? Why are you crying, and why is my left side tingling?" Sakura was very confused, but he had to tell her the truth; she loved the truth and nothing but it, and if he lied she would be able to tell.

"Your... Your back has been broken in one spot and fractured in two other places, and your left side will soon be consumed in numbness because of the broken nerves." Kakashi was really crying now.

"I'm dying, aren't I, Kakashi?" said Sakura. She had always been good at figuring things out for herself. Kakashi couldn't take it anymore. He hugged her so tightly that his muscles popped up and it made Sakura cry. "I'm sorry for all of this..."

"Don't be sorry... We're both sorry, okay?" Kakashi wanted at least half of the blame she put upon herself. The next few days were going to be impossibly hard. Soon enough, Sakura's whole body became numb except for her face, and her parents came to visit with her cousins and brother. Kakashi's family visited the day after and every day after that one one friend at a time would come to visit. Kiba visited and the three of them talked about how they met in school and every little detail of drama they went through. Sakura took medicine that the doctor's were charging nothing for because the accident had happened on their wedding day. The medicine made her live a little bit longer, but it barely worked. The last person to visit was Naruto. By this time the room was filled with elegant flowers, cards, and of course pictures of Sakura's past. Naruto and Sakura relived every moment from when they met in the fifth grade to the wedding day that seemed to be so perfect. He made her remember every mistake she had made, every person she had met, and everything that was placed in-between. They had a few laughs, which were precious to the three of them, but it all had to end under God's will. By the end of the day, Sakura and Kakashi were in the room alone. The curtains were blowing in the wind and the sun was setting with the deep rays seeping through.

"I'm sorry, but I believe I die today," said the now fragile girl. Sakura had always been a strong fighter, but she could not keep up with this crucial fight.

"Please, don't say this now..." Kakashi began.

Sakura broke in "I had a dream about my past; little tiny flashbacks. I think it's my time." Sakura's heartbeat on the monitor had become very low now. Every second became even more nerve-wracking than the last.

"Don't do this to me... Promise me you will still live!" Kakashi burst into tears. He had waited so long to just be with her.

"I will still be alive, but in you."

"I... I don't know what to say..."

"Just don't say goodbye, because it really isn't goodbye."

"But..."

"I'll see you later then... Kakashi..." those were her last words.
