"Blah" Sayings.
'Blah.' Thoughts.
Recap
As my feet moved on their own accord, I jumped, moving between them. I could not get them hurt. I did not want them to die. I ran as could, my eyes tightly shut.
"Stop it!"
'Shit.'
'I can't!'
Then, without knowing, I felt a pain hit me and all went black.
End recap
Pain. I felt pain erupt throughout my whole system. My skin burned and I felt my insides sting. I could not scream in pain for it felt as if my throat was ripped out. All I could see was black as my body crumbled to the floor.
"SAKURA!" Naruto yelled as he ran to his teammate. His eyes were wide as he stared at her body, scarred and bloodied. Sasuke stared at her, eyes wide in shock. What was she thinking?
Her body was bleeding from one side to the other, making a pool of red surround her. There were cuts and gashes on her arms and face, her legs scarred. The biggest mark of all was the gash that went from her stomach to the middle of her chest.
The door to the roof slammed open, only to reveal a blonde women with brown eyes. She stared for a second and her eyes slowly widened.
"Shizune!" she called. "This is an emergency! Get here now!" All she could do was stare at the pink haired girl's body, her own body feeling woozy from all the red blood.
"What is it, Tsunade..." before she could finish her question she saw the body and let out a scream. "Get a medical bed now!"
People rushed to the roof, a carry-on (I don't know what it's called) bed with them. They gently picked Sakura up, making sure not to make her wounds bleed more.
"We need to stop her wounds from bleeding," Shizune instructed. "Get the best medical-nins in the emergency room immediately!" Shizune turned to Tsunade, who began to shake as she stared at the puddle of blood. "Are you alright, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked.
"What happened here?" Tsunade asked. She turned her head to Sasuke. "Why are out of bed? Explain this. NOW!"
"Tsunade-sama," Shizune said, putting a hand on the blonde women's shoulder. "Calm down."
"What have you done?.!" Tsunade yelled. "You nearly killed a teammate of yours! By the looks of the damage, there will be hardly a chance she will survive at all!"
Naruto and Sasuke picked their heads up, shocked by her words.
"Sakura...dead...?" Naruto murmured. Tsunade let out a brief nod before she turned.
"Be lucky if she does survive," Tsunade said and closed the door behind herself, Shizune following.
Sasuke and Naruto stood absolutely still, as if time had stopped. 'Sakura...die?' Naruto thought as he stared down at the ground. 'Why did she have to get in the way?' Sasuke thought.
"Teme," Naruto said as he picked up his head, earning the attention of his teammate. "We have to see Sakura... She could be... she could die."
Sasuke did not nod but he walked towards the door. It only took Naruto a second to know his answer and soon he followed Sasuke down the stairs. The two walked through Sasuke's room and then Lee's. Their eyes locked on the emergency room, the lights growing bright.
A nurse walked up to the two and gave a questioning look.
"What are you two doing here?" she asked.
"How is Sakura?" Naruto asked. The nurse rose a brow.
"Who?" she asked.
"Haruno Sakura!" Naruto yelled. "She is in the emergency room right now and I want to know how she is doing!"
"Please calm down, sir," the nurse said. "As for Sakura, I do not know yet. Patients in the emergency room are usually in surgery or seriously injured. Only after she is let out of the emergency room can I know how she is feeling. In the mean time, why don't you just sit down and relax?"
Naruto clenched and unclenched his hand and shook his head.
"Thanks but I'll stand and wait," he muttered. The nurse nodded and soon walked away. "Sakura..."
"Dobe," Sasuke muttered. "You don't have to worry."
"DON'T HAVE TO WORRY?.!" Naruto yelled. "SAKURA IS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM BECAUSE OF US! SHE COULD HAVE DIED! AND YET YOU DON'T CARE! YOUR RATHER HAPPY THAT SHE'S GOING TO DIE BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT SHE IS WEAK AND ANNOYING!"
"Shut up!" Sasuke hissed.
"Why should I?!" Naruto yelled. "Am I right? Do you hate her that much?! She's only a burden to you, right?! Am I right?"
"I said shut up!" Sasuke said, his voice getting higher.
"Excuse me," the two heard and turned their heads. A young woman with green eyes and brown hair looked at the two. "Is Sakura here?"
"Sakura is in the emergency room," Naruto answered. "Who are you?"
"I am Sakura's mother," the woman replied. "I was just informed of what happened and rushed in as fast as I can...please, tell me, what happened to my daughter."
"Sakura was," Naruto stopped and bit her lower lip. "She was hit by two powerful attacks. One was the Rasengan..."
"The other was chidori," Sasuke said, finishing Naruto's sentence.
"How did this happen?" She asked, her voice unchanging. "How was she hit by the two attacks?"
"It was our fault," Naruto said. "We were fighting and as it continued, Sakura stepped in the way to protect us."
"I see," she said, her head moving down. It was a strange sight. Was she supposed to cry? Wasn't she supposed to beg for Sakura to live? Wasn't she supposed to hate Sasuke and Naruto for hurting her child? Instead of all those choices, a sick smirk appeared on her face, but it was replaced again with an emotionless mask. "Then I suppose I shall wait. Then, I'll have a comfortable talk with her."
Sasuke rose a brow at her. 'Is this how Sakura's mother acts?' he thought. 'Isn't she supposed to cry or yell? Why is she just standing there, as if it's an okay thing to see Sakura hurt?'
A minute later, a doctor came out of the room, his outfit stained with blood. Naruto first shuddered but then ran to the doctor.
"What happened to Sakura?.!" he asked, his eyes filled with worry. The doctor could only sigh in return and look at Naruto.
"She's barely alive," he stated. "We managed to stop some of the bleeding but she has lost a lot of blood. There are some scars and wounds that we need Tsunade to heal but for now, this is the best we could do. Right now, their trying to stitch up some wounds...but for some reason, we found some that are not fresh but still opened, as if they were carelessly treated. Either way, I am not quite sure how she will end up."
"Thank you for the information," Naruto said. The doctor nodded and walked away. Naruto frowned and looked down at his hands, feeling guilty. He looked at Sasuke, and found him looking as cool as if nothing had ever happened. "This is how you react to this, eh?" Naruto said, a glare set on his eyes. Sasuke looked at his blonde teammate and glared in return.
"I thought I told you to shut up," Sasuke hissed.
"Would you two please be quiet," Sakura's mother said, an annoyed tone in her voice.
"Why do you seem so calm?" Sasuke asked. Sakura's mother stared at him for a second and then glared for a moment. She then turned her head and looked to her side.
"Sakura WILL survive this," she said. There was a tone in her voice as if saying it was a command. She looked forward to the emergency room and then walked forward towards the door.
"Miss," a nurse called. "Miss, I'm sorry but you cannot enter the emergency room."
The nurse ran over to Sakura's mother. She did not pay attention and instead walked towards the door.
"Miss!" the nurse said as she stood in front of the door.
"Step aside," Mrs. Haruno said.
"I'm sorry but I cannot allow that," the nurse said. Mrs. Haruno harshly grabbed the nurse by the arm and then pushed her aside.
"I had told you before to move," she said, her voice icy cold. In a split moment she flung open the doors, expecting to see her daughter.
Naruto caught his breath as he saw the sight in front of him, Sasuke stared at the horror in front of him, as if he had witnessed the massacre again.
The room was white and yet there were red stains around. Several doctors were gathered around, many filled with bloody hands and contraptions in their hands. Some doctors had moved to the side of the room, threw up for a second, washed their hands and put on new gloves, ready to go back to work. The air had a metallic taste that could make anyone sick. When the doctors heard the commotion, they turned, making Sasuke and Naruto feeling worse then before.
Sakura let out a scream as the pain of her insides stung. There was blood everywhere around her. The gash on her stomach to the top of her middle chest was way open, the blood flowing freely through. Her arms were bandaged but some red splotches of blood could be seen, as for the same for her legs. Her hair was dirty with dried blood, the tips red from fresh blood.
"Sakura," Sasuke whispered as he saw the sight. She opened her eyes and stared at them, her bitter eyes watching them with as much strength as she had. When she saw her mother her eyes widened. The stoic face of her mother scared her and all she could do was close her eyes, feeling the pain hit her again.
"I assume that you are almost finished," Mrs. Haruno said.
"What are you doing here?.!" a doctor yelled. "This is an emergency room! Please, miss, get out."
"I shall but," Mrs. Haruno paused and then glanced at her in-pain daughter. "Finish this quickly."
Then Mrs. Haruno turned and walked out, closing the door behind herself.
"What are you two still standing here?" she asked as she glared at them. "Nearly finished my job. Leave now, you shall see her when you're permitted to."
She walked away and left through one of the exits, her face once again emotionless.
"Sas..."
"Sasuke!" they heard and turned as they saw a nurse. "You must be in bed please. It's best if you rest up now." She gently took him by the arm and he complied, too buried in his thoughts to snap back. Naruto followed, his face down as he stared down at the floor. He had yet to notice the small tint of blood on his hands and some on his orange shirt. Sasuke looked at his hands and saw blood red, her blood. The blood on his shirt could not be seen, but he wanted to change it immediately. "Sasuke, what happened to your hands?" the nurse asked.
"..." He didn't answer but continued to stare at his hands, eyes growing wide. He stole a glance at Naruto's hands and then at his. 'Mine is stained more then his.' he thought.
"What is wrong with you two?" they heard and looked up, meeting their sensei's eye. Kakashi stared at the two, curious of the blood and the sad looks on their faces. He then noticed his last missing student. "Where is Sakura?" he asked.
Naruto looked down again and stared at his hands, feeling shame and guilt for what happened to her.
"She's in the emergency room," Naruto answered. Kakashi's eye widened, as he felt scared for his only female student.
"What happened? Why is she in the emergency room?" Kakashi asked.
"She had blocked us when we attacked each other," Sasuke said. "She was hit by the Rasengan and chidori at the same time."
"I did not teach you the chidori to hurt your teammates, Sasuke!" Kakashi yelled and then looked at Naruto. "And why did you hit her with the Rasengan?!"
"We were fighting…"
"That doesn't mean that you can use those powerful attacks!" Kakashi said. "The Chidori itself is strong. It can kill a person easily, and the same goes for the Rasengan."
"Do you know when Sakura will be let out?" Kakashi asked. Naruto and Sasuke shook their heads.
"We saw Sakura's mom before and she was in a worry," Naruto said. "It's like she didn't want to be there at all. She even barged in the room and told them to hurry up."
"Naruto," Kakashi said. "I would like you to wash your hands and go home for now. It's best if you rest up. I will take care of this," Kakashi commanded and then turned to Sasuke. "As for you, it's best if you return to bed and rest at least. Also, wash the blood away as well."
"But Sakura is hurt!" Naruto yelled.
"I know, Naruto," Kakashi said. "But it's best if you leave this matter to me. As I said before, I will take care of this."
"But…"
"Naruto," Kakashi said. "I know that you're worried, but please, leave this to me."
"Yes, sensei," Naruto said and slowly walked away, his face full of regret. Kakashi turned his head to Sasuke and put a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sure she'll be alright, Sasuke," Kakashi said, giving a small supporting smile. Sasuke took the hand off his shoulder and glared at his sensei.
"I…. don't care," Sasuke said and walked away, his blood stained hands in his pockets. Kakashi stared at his student and then shook his head. 'I hope Sakura will be alright…'
When Sasuke then thought it was safe, he took his hands out and stared at them, his eyes growing a bit wider then it was before. He closed his eyes and then clenched his fists, as I feeling some of the pain Sakura was. He then walked to the bathroom and washed all the blood off his hands.
It was the middle of the night he had heard the door creak open. It was the middle of the night when he heard a small bed moved, a body on it. It was then he heard a small conversation.
"You had barely survived," he heard and thought that the voice was Tsunades. "I could heal you, but the pain will be immense."
"Do whatever you want," he heard as a reply and then heard Tsunade sigh.
"Do you realize that you might die if I try?" Tsunade asked.
"If that is what will happen then so be it," the patient answered. "There will always be a chance that I will survive."
"Alright then," Tsunade said. "I shall perform it tomorrow night. Get plenty of rest and try not to use any of your muscles much, alright?"
"Ok," was the reply and then Tsunade left. He heard the bed creak and soon saw legs. He watched with attention as soon the body moved and she revealed her face through the moonlight. Sasuke's breath hitched in his throat as he saw the damage. The scars on parts of her body were immense and there will still some bandages, some of which were still being stained by blood. Most of all, her face was scratched and there was a small scar like scratch on her cheek.
She moved towards the window and stopped for a moment, wincing as she felt a pain hit her lower stomach. She looked down and noticed her once white bandage was growing red, as the wound reopened a bit. She looked back up and continued to move towards the window, moving slowly so no other wounds could open up.
"Ah," she whispered as she touched the wound on her stomach. She winced as she brushed her hand through it and then she put it back to her side. She looked up at the moon and gave a sad smile.
"It hurts a lot," she whispered as she touched her wounds. "Kind of scary to see me this way, right? I wonder what mother will think?" she let out a bitter laugh. "Guess I'll have to be prepared for what will happen next.
"I took the hit for those two," she whispered as she stared at the moon. "It was better for me to go then those two…after all, they had a much better path then I head. They are much stronger, and if they would go, so many people will have their hearts torn apart.
"I would never live without them. Their very special, the type of people who will achieve in what they believe in. Naruto has a dream to become the greatest hokage…I'm sure he will fulfill it one day."
She took in a deep breath and let out a bittersweet smile.
"Sasuke has to goals… he wants to kill his brother in revenge and restore the Uchiha clan."
Another sad smile went through his lips.
"I could never let him die… I would jump in before he could even be killed…"
Sasuke felt his breath hitch in his throat and turned his head. 'She would risk her life for me…?'
"I guess it's one of my life long dreams to keep him alive… to keep him safe until the end… no matter how many times he hurts me and pushes me, I'll always come back…hurt me, I'll always be back… Sasuke, if you could only hear me…"
She turned her head to him and saw him with his eyes closed, thinking that he was asleep.
"Night….Sasuke."
She limped back to her bed slowly and felt her eyes drift and close. Her body was long over exhausted and all she wanted to do was sleep. After all, she had a long say tomorrow. The pain will be strong but she will have to bear it. She could not die just yet… not till her goal is fulfilled.
She felt the warms wind brush against her sleeping form, making her hair move to her face a bit. She could not move it, her exhaustion was too much. Her eyes steadily closed and soon she fell asleep.
She did not seem to notice Sasuke as he got up from his bed. He moved to her sleeping form and watched her sleeping face for a second. Then, he moved a stray piece of hair away from her face. She let out a small groan but did not move. He stared at the damage that was caused and soon regretted his action.
His body moved to his bed and soon he felt his eyes drift and then close. It was over that night, but the fight wasn't just over yet. Not by a damn long shot.
So what do you think? Next chapter might come out soon! As for the other story, Stolen Smiles, I'll update as soon as I get some more reviews (XP) or just when I have it done.
Black and Green,
Goes to her homework...
