We keep forgetting, we both do not own Sonic or Naruto. If we did all these couples would be real. xD

Chapter 3

The T-Virus

"God, how many ounces of blood do you think you lost???" Sakura exclaimed as Espio came back from the fifth time of coughing up his own blood in this day alone. He shrugged shakily and collapsed onto the bed. Pein was staring at him, not even minding that Sakura was on his legs again.

"Well we should find a cure...otherwise we'll never get you straight again!" she said importantly, standing up and going over to the computer. Espio and Pein sat on the edge of the bed that was closest to the computer. She opened a program and hacked into the facility that they had left of that Galaxina had looked up on when she was going to the store.

"Let's see...the T-virus is a virus that destroys the higher functions of the brain, replacing it with its own D.N.A. The host will appear to be dead for an hour or so and then the T-virus D.N.A will take over and will take over, waking the host and all memories and instincts are erased. The only instincts available is the ability to walk and the need to eat. If the host bites or scratches another person then the virus is passed onto that person. The only way to kill them is to shoot them in the head." she read. Espio slumped back the bars framing the bed.

"Then why isn't this happening to Pein?" he asked but Pein stayed silent.

"I'll check." Sakura said in a low voice and looked back. "Says here some people rather then it taking over it adapts to the body, making them stronger, faster, and smarter."

"Riight...any cure to it?" Espio asked, looking a little more pale in the face. Sakura looked back and then shook her head.

"But, I could try taking some of Pein's blood and giving it to you? Maybe some of the adapted virus will also adapt your system, holding it at bay for a little while..." she explained.

"Alright then, we'll do it." Pein said for the first time for about five minutes. Espio stared at him.

"No way! I'm not gonna let you sacrifice your blood just to save my brain." he cried.

"I don't care what you want to do or not. We're doing it!" Pein snapped back at him.

"But-!" Espio started, but to get interrupted by Pein.

"No buts! We. Are. Doing. It. Period!" Pein stated.

"Fine.." Espio muttered and held his hand out to Sakura. Sakura took an empty needle and took some of Pein's blood, then moving to put it in Espio.

Then Pein asked, "Sakura..why do you have so many empty needles?"

"I was a nurse!" She said with a smile.

"Oh..wait.."was?" Pein raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"Mhmm..I gave the wrong person blood..putting him in a coma for awhile." She muttered kinda embarrassed.

"Umm..should we be doing this then?" Espio asked, getting scared for his life.

"Nope!" Sakura said, just to screw with him.

"Oh god! Get away!" Espio yelled.

"Too late, I'm done."

"Shit..Am I going to die now?"

"I sure hope not.." Sakura muttered. Then some color returned to his face, making him a pale pink.

"Hey! You're pink again!" Sakura cheered.

"I'm not pink! I'm purple,woman!" Espio mumbled.

"Sure..think what you want.." She smiled at him.

Nilika all of a sudden walked in, "Guys, I have such wonderful news!"

"Your pregnant aren't you?!" Sakura asked, a bit afraid of what the answer was gonna be.

"Yes!"

"Whose the dad?"

"I don't know, just some random guy I guess..there was 7 of 'em."

"I feel bad for those guys..and the baby is gonna die!" Sakura yelled.

"It's not gonna die." Nilika glared at Sakura.

"You do realize you can't drink or have sex while pregnant, right?"

"What?!" Nilika literally started to cry. Then Sakura lifted her up and threw her into the closet, locking her in there. Which, causing her to either join or watch Tobi, Sasuke, and Vector's "activities."
