Chapter Six
It had been two days since Sasuke's curse mark had been sealed and he still hadn't woken up. Not even for a short time. Sakura's burn had been healed easily by Tsunade, but she insisted on staying in Sasuke's room until he was awake and able to leave the hospital. Tsunade didn't argue, knowing how stubborn Sakura could be. At the moment, Naruto was on a mission, Kakashi was out seeing the Make-out paradise movie again ("It's just such a beautiful movie."), Tsunade was helping out in the emergency room, and Sakura was of course tending to Sasuke.
To be honest it was getting boring. Sasuke's fever was gone, he was breathing normally, and his wounds were healing just fine. All he needed to do was wake-up! If he doesn't wake-up soon, I think I'll go insane. Sakura thought. She stared at Sasuke's unmoving figure for a minute then got up to go get lunch. That was practically the only time she left Sasuke's room. For meals. She had never been able to stand hospital food. She looked back at Sasuke one last time, then hurried out the door. Sakura decided that she would just go to the store instead of a restaurant. She bought a few rice balls and was about to leave when she ran into Kakashi.
"Yo!" he said.
"Is your perverted movie over already?" Sakura said.
"Yes, I was just on my way to see you and Sasuke," Kakashi replied.
"Don't bother, he's still not awake," Sakura muttered. "Tsunade says that he could wake up at any minute, but it's been two days since she said that and nothing has changed."
Kakashi hesitated for a minute, and then said, "If he doesn't wake up soon what will you do?" Sakura shrugged and shook her head.
"I honestly have no clue, but I promised myself that I won't leave until he at least wakes up," She said. "Which reminds me, I better get going. If he does wake-up soon I want to be there." She turned and ran out of the store with Kakashi's voice ringing in her head.
"If he doesn't wake up soon what will you do?" It disturbed her that she didn't have an answer.
