As time passed by Sakura think about the things that is happening to her right now. She's been kidnap by a member of 'Hebi' which is lead by Sasuke that been a missing-nin turn to be one of the deadliest traitor of the village and now she is kneeling beside the man that is lying in the bed, poisoned by an unknown poison. It is right if she help Sasuke? Does it makes sense if she heal him? Many thoughts are in my mind as I look at him, he didn't change a lot, he is still Sasuke, the boy I once loved, I once declare my un-ending love.
"EHEM!"- Sakura turn her gaze at the person on the door.
"Are you done?"-She said as she walk towards them. Sakura rose from her seat.
"Yes, are you the one the guy is teling me?"-Sakura said.
"Yes, his name is Suigetsu, I am Karin"-She said.
"Well, let's start what we have to do and finish it."-Karin said. Sakura just nodded and look at Sasuke for the last time before following Karin.
Is this the right thing to do?
Do I really have to do it?
If I save him, will it change everything? Will he come back to Konoha? To us?
So many thoughts.
So many questions, but nothing is answered. Sakura look at Sasuke again and feel his pulse. It's beginning to be weak. The poison that been in his body is definitely a strong one, made to kill the target immediately, but Sasuke's body is very strong, he is fighting.
Sakura walk towards the table and continue to work the antidote, good thing she once encounter this poison and definitely make an antidote on the past, and his 'TEAM' definitely and willingly search the ingredients immediately. As soon as Sakura finishes the antidote, Sakura put it in a syringe and walk towards Sasuke.
"Are you sure that that thing will help him?"-Karin ask.
"Yes"-Sakura said. Sakura slowly injected in Sasuke's arm.
"That would be better"-she said after she emptied the syringe Sasuke began trembling, Sakura expect it, actually she expected much more reaction on him, soon Sasuke's eyes open, looking straight at the ceiling straight but immediately close.
"What is happening to him?"-Karin asked in concern.
"It's okay, it's a normal response of the body when the antidote is beginning to spread, it's actually a sign that the antidote is doing it's purpose"-Sakura said.
"NORMAL? He looks like a dead man!"-Karin shouted as she shove Sakura at the side and walk towards Sasuke.
"I knew it! You don't have plans on helping him! You plan to kill him! I knew it!"-Karin accusingly said pointing a finger in Sakura. Sakura smirk.
"A Medic-nin is entitled to SAVE lives of who's in need of cure, not to kill"-Sakura said while returning in the table where she is working.
"And you think you are one of that kind MEDIC-NIN?"-Karin said sarcastically and cross her arms. Sakura look at her and smirk.
"Yes, and a HONORABLE one"-Sakura said. "and if you excuse yourself, the patient needs a REST and should not be DISTURB"-Sakura added.
"Huh? Ofcourse, then, excuse yourself"-Karin said. Sakura look at Karin and smile.
"Dear, if you've forgotten, I AM the one who is nursing HIM"-pointing Sasuke. "..here, and the one that is CAPABLE of healing him, so maybe you should be the one who is LEAVING this room"-Sakura said. Karin gave her and irritated loook.
"I can do that also!"-She shout.
"Oh! really?! That's why I am here? Doing the job that you CAN DO?"-Sakura said, touching her chin and give Karin an Innocent look, Karin is about to reply hen Suigetsu appear in the door.
"Karin, you should leave, She is right, Sasuke needs to rest, and she will nurse him, that's why she is here"-He said. Karin look at Suigetsu.
"But-"-she is cut by Suigetsu.
"Now"-He said with a serious tone.
"Fine"-she said and give Sakura a glare before walking towards the door stomping her feet. Sakura just shrugged it off and go back to the table. Suigetsu look at her and she look back at him.
"What?"-She ask.
"Nothing, I'm just amaze on you on how you handle her b*tchness"-Suigetsu said.
"Thanks to some b*tch friend of mine that teach me How to handle a B*tch 101"-Sakura said and back her attention on her work.
"Well, I should meet that 'Friend' of yours and learn from them"-Suigetsu said.
"Sometime, I'll introduce them to you"-She said still focusing on her work. Suigetsu smirk.
She's interesting. He thinks.
"Well, I'm gonna leave you both here, I hope he'll wake up and recover tomorrow"-He said and turn his back to walk away.
Sakura stop on what her doing and rub her temples.
What am I thinking? Helping some wanted ninjas? Healing a traitor of their village? Being friendly on one of them? I should not be here sitting, I should be leaving, planning to escape and run away, go back to her village.
Sakura bit her lower lip and look at the man who is lying in the bed.
But I can't leave him here, hopeless and dying, at least I should help him. I may hate him for betraying the village, for leaving them, her, for hurting Naruto, but still I don't want him to die, he still holds a place in my heart, he's my friend after all.
Sakura walk towards the bed and sit on the floor, she examine Sasuke's face, she tck some strands of his hair on his face and check his temperature.
"Atleast you don't have a fever now"-She whisper. She hold Sasuke's hand.
"You should get better, if not, I will not really forgive you"-She said before drifting to sleep.

"SHE WHAT!?"-Tsunade stand and struck the table.
"Yes, Hokage-sama, Haruno Sakura is not in her apartment, nowhere to be found, we can't even sense her chakra"-The shinobi said.
"But how? She can't be disappear just like that"-Tsunade said and massage her temple.
"I don't know Hokage-sama, but maybe she leave the village"-The shinobi said. Tsunade glare at the shinobi.
"Fool, Sakura will not leave the village without informing any of us, especially me"-Tsunade saaid.
"But Tsunade-sama, why did she disappear?"-the shinobi ask.
"I don't know yet, but I make sure I will know it"-Tsunade said. She look at the Shinobi and point at him.
"You! call Hatake Kakashi and summoned him here! tell him it's an emergency situation!"-She said. The Shinobi bows and turn back.
"And make sure that no one! As in no one will know about this!"-she added. The shinobi turn to her again.
"Yes Hokage-sama"-he said and make some hand seals and disappear in a smoke.
"Shizune! Bring me Sake here"-Tsunade shouted and slump in the chair.
"Damn it! Where are you Sakura"-She murmur.

Sunlight is hitting his eyes, he feels awful, his body feels sore, he tries to open his eyes to be welcome by the blinding light of the sun.
He is still lying in his bed. He remembers that the are attact by some enemies and he is poisoned, by an unknown poison. Then, day by day his body weakened, he stayed on his bed with a high fever, the poison is starting to spread on his body. He feels hopeless. But now, he feels a bit better. He opens his eyes and scan the sorroundings, he tries to move his hands but something is stoping his rigth hand, Sasuke turn his gaze at his right side and saw a familiar shade.
Pink.
He close his eyes and open it again to see the same shade.
"Sakura".
Why she's here?
Did she help me?
Sasuke look at the sleeping figure beside her. She is sitting on the floor, her head is resting on her arms that is folded. He remove his hand on her hold and attempt to touch her but he stop himself.
"Sasuke-kun! Awake!"-A shout from the door grab his attention. It was Karin. He just look at the woman, he felt small movements on the side of his bed indication that Sakura is waking up. Sakura raised her head and rub her eyes, she look at the man who is now sitting in the middle of the bed.
"Sasuke.."-she said in a low voice.
"I'm very happy that you feel better now Sasuke-kun!"-Karin cheerfully said and run towards Sasuke and hop on Sasuke's bed. Sakura just look at them.
Great, now there's a live show happening.
Sakura fix her hair and stands, she walk to the table and face the two.
"I think Sasuke feels better now, I've done my job, can I go now?"-Sakura said and put her hand on her hips.
"Oh, yes, sure Miss Pinky, no one will stop you the door is open, CHOW"-Karin said happily. Sakura shakes her head and walks towards the door. She was about to exit the place when Sasuke spoke.
"Stay Sakura"-Sasuke said. Karin look at him confuse. Sakura turn her gaze at Sasuke.
"I'm done here Sasuke, I don't have any business with you"-She said.
"You will stay."-He said.
"I won't"-Sakura said. Sakura turn her back on them and walk when someone grab her wrist, when she look at who it is, she is surprise that it is Sasuke.
Damn, how can he move that fast?
"You will stay here as I said"-He firmly said.
"Let go Sasuke, I need to go back to Konoha now!"-she shouted.
"Let her Sasuke-kun, she's no use now"-Karin said. Sasuke glare at Karin and she just bow her head.
"Do as what I say Sakura"-He said.
"No!"-she shouted. Sakura tries to break free from Sasuke's grip but she can't.
Sh*t. He should not be this strong. She said in her mind.
"LET GO!"-Sakura shouted. Sasuke full Sakura to him and hold her chin to look at him.
"You will stay"-he said. Sakura look at him in the eye and was about to shout the hell out of him but stop by his eyes, dark onyx orbs becomes red.
Wrong move.
Then everything turns black.
