Ino smiled slightly, "Sakura, you rest. I'll help Kakashi." She help Sakura to a couch, "I'll be back in no time with good news."
Sakura's lifeless green eyes were glued to the floor, "It doesn't matter… there is no way to help him." She whispered, there was no change in her voice it was just a constant tone.
Ino blinked, "S-Sakura, you don't believe that. Wasn't it you who told me to believe?"
"There is no hope… Choji is dead… and now Hinata is dead. Soon… Kakashi-sensei will be dead too…"
Ino glared, "Sakura! Stop this! This isn't like you…" She said scared for her friend.
"Yes it is… I'm as helpless as when I was younger… I can't do anything. I can't help anyone. I'm just watching again. I'm-" Slap! Sakura looked up at Ino, her hand at her cheek, "You… hit me…"
Ino looked at her, "No, you're not like that anymore Sakura! You're not. You're strong and high spirited now." She smiled slightly, "We will figure something out. We will."
Sakura nodded, "O-okay, take care of Kakashi-sensei please…"
Ino's smile grew into a grin, "Of course!" She turned away. "You just relax okay?" Sakura nodded rubbing her temples, "I'll be back as soon as I can."
-!-!-!-
"I-I'm sorry Sakura…" Ino whispered, her head bowed, in her hands was a collection of things. A ninja headband, a vest, and the most familiar piece, a copy of Make-Out Tactics. "He said he wanted you and Naruto to have it…"
Sakura suddenly felt really sick, she clutched her stomach and suppressed a sob, "No… Kakashi-sensei… he can't be dead!"
"The… strange thing was that his strain was the same as Hinata's and Choji's strain. There's a pattern, we have to figure out how to cure this fast Sakura." Ino said sternly. "I had blood taken… if we try-" Ino felt dizzy and started to fall over.
Sakura jumped up and grabbed her friend, "Ino?!" She yelled, "Ino! Answer me! Ino!"
Ino looked up at Sakura, "It… has me too now…" She mumbled.
"No! Ino… not you too." Sakura whispered.
"S-Sakura…" Ino mumbled softly. "You have to find a cure Sakura. You have to."
Sakura shook her head, "I can't… no I can't! It's not possible… we'll all die."
"Sakura… please, Naruto has the cure somehow. Hinata saw something we didn't. Get Neji have him help." Ino smiled slightly.
"O-okay, Ino… please don't die…" Sakura whispered.
Ino half nodded, "Of course… I wouldn't…" She grew silent.
"Ino?! Ino!" Sakura yelled.
"She's not dead," A medic said quickly. "She fainted, whatever she has, its not life threatening… yet."
Sakura looked up, "So there is still time?" She asked quickly, the medic nodded. "Good, Naruto! Come with me, we have to find Neji. Now!" She grabbed Naruto by the arm and dragged him out the door, "How much time is there?" Sakura asked on her way out.
"A day, if she's lucky." The medic whispered.
Sakura nodded, "We have to hurry Naruto!" Naruto didn't object, for once he was taking things seriously.
-!-!-!-
"Where can he be!?" Sakura yelled angrily. They had checked all the common places he may be. Hinata's home, though no one was there now as the were grieving over Hinata's death, training fields, even a places he may not be.
Naruto looked at Sakura, "Calm down, lets think."
Sakura nodded, "Think… think, think, think…" She mumbled over and over. "Think… Tenten!" She said suddenly. "Come on! She'll know where Neji is!" She didn't wait for Naruto to agree or anything and was already running off.
"S-Sakura-chan…" Naruto whined softly and ran after.
Sakura found Tenten with her teammate, Lee, and her former sensei, Gai, "Why hello youths!" Gai said haply.
"Oh Sakura-san, it has been a while since I have seen you." Lee smiled, "And Naruto, I'm glad you are well."
"Neji!" Sakura spat out suddenly. "Where is he! We need to find him!" She yelled franticly.
Gai blinked, "Sakura, calm down. I know you are young and very youthful, but take a break."
Tenten gave her former sensei a annoyed look, "What's wrong Sakura?" She asked
"A cure, Neji can help find a cure!" Sakura said quickly.
"A cure… slow down explain to us the whole thing." Lee said quickly.
Sakura nodded and took a deep breath, semi-calmly explaining the situation up to now, "Hinata knew the cure, but died before she could tell us. Neji has Byakugan, he may be able to find the cure."
"Oh I see…" Tenten said softly. "Well… the bad news is, he left for a mission yesterday. I'm sorry."
Sakura felt like she would faint, "How long is the mission suppose to take?"
"A day or two. He might be home later today… When I see him, I'll send him to the hospital."
"No, he might get sick, send him to… the Hokage's office please." She said quickly.
"Okay, good luck Sakura." Tenten smiled slightly.
"Thanks." Sakura whispered, this is all hopeless… all of this…
