It was one of those rare occasions when he wasn't at the hospital. The university that had assigned him the project with her had wanted to see the progress of the assignment, and give a presentation on the cognitive thinking process of a child.

He surprised himself of the needy speed he was issuing to his legs, it's as if he wanted to be with her a soon as he could.

He didn't bother taking the elevator after seeing the frustrated looks of doctors and visitors waiting in front of the threshold of the elevator.

He climbed the stairs two by two, three by three, and almost four by four, until he heard the screaming mercy of his pants to stop, he cursed to himself.

The corridor was dimly lit, reflecting the time of day, half past eight. As he grew nearer and nearer to the door of her room, he could distinguish a figure.

A woman

Three more steps

Blonde hair, about 5'6''

Four more steps

Smartly dressed for a business gathering

Two more steps

Hand reaching the door

His pace quickened

And then he recognized her, his brows furrowed as her face turned to him, in that quick moment he grabbed her wrist before it could open the door.

Their eyes met and he exchanged an icy glare that could have even have old man winter flying south for the winter.

She bit her lips as she searched his eyes, though he stopped her there, ' I think you know your place, and one thing for sure is its not here.' He spoke idly

Her fingers crumpled away from the door knob, and she looked down her lashes a cabana of her tears and her fringe like a caressing mother.

By then they attracted the attention of some other passerbyers , her knees quivered and her purse fell of her shoulder, she shook, and her façade was crackled.

She looked like a child trying on her mother's makeup and a pair of reject heels, accompanied by a bag that could possibly swallow her whole.

'I'd don't really have a place then do I, I'm a nomad of the heart then?' she asked him

Her face arose to look him in the eyes, though he did not falter, 'You're not a nomad, I'll tell you that, you're the unfaithful lover who filters his way through others, leaving others empty, sucked dry like a sponge.'

She smirked at his raw answer, 'I guess you're right, I shouldn't be giving myself that many heirs, I've done the crime, but must truly do the time?'

'It's more like she's doing the time for you, you set her back, and you got set forward, in my perspective you haven't lost anytime, but she has.' His eyes glimmered scarlet of his next response, 'and if I'm not mistaken, if it weren't for your set back, well…' he looked to the door 'we wouldn't be here'

She could only give a sad smile, as she knew it was the truth , she picked up her purse and walked up to the dark knight, and stood on her toes, and spoke with her raspberry lips a hush in his ears. His eyes widened slightly, at her comment, as her heels clicked down the hall.

His figure lost it grace and his hands fumbled to the door, only to find a rush of strawberry cross his vision.

Sakura..

He touched his cheek to find a shedded tear his back turned to find her running down the hall , in her gown, and he could only run after her.

Her eyes batted away the tears, as she ran after her, 'INO!' she yelled

The said persons back stiffened and turned, and was soon toppled, like a janga.

She could only caress her in her hold, as the other cried, 'Don't leave! I forgive you, please stay.' She wailed

The blonde could only cry to the response of her companion, and stroked her hair, and they stayed that way.

Until the blonde detangled herself from the rosette, 'I'm not good for you; I promise you'll never have to see me again.'

Emerald crystals blurred, as eradication set into the air, she couldn't breathe, she crumpled to the ground holding her side.

Arms folding over her, 'Sakura! Oi Sakura!' the voice was frantic

She felt injections finding their place in her arm, they stung like of a mosquito on a hot summer's day, and her eyes glazed as the threshold swallowed her hearts pulse, along with her friend.

Her body was hoisted onto a gurney, and she once again felt as though she was falling back into limbo, just like the first day.

SHE'S GOING INTO SHOCK! HER LUNGS AREN'T FILTERING ANY OXYGEN

DOC, SHE'S ALSO GOT AN ERATIC HEART BEAT SHE COULD GIVE OUT ANYTIME NOW

WHAT ABOUT AND ORGAN DONATIONS? HAVE ANY COME IN?

DOC, THE DONOR'S ON PREMISISE SHE'SBEING PUT INTO THE THEATRE

GOOD GET THE OPERATION DONE SOON! WE CAN ONLY KEEP HER ON THE MACHINE FOR A BIT

'Sasuke…' she gripped his hand as she cried, 'I don't want to die anymore!'

His teeth clenched he could only do so much being her knight, with just his code of arms and sword, he can protect but not give the feeling of protection.

Miss Yamanaka, before you go into the theatre, you have to answer the following questions, also as a policy recognition, you do know, after this operation, you will be deceased?

Yes.

And will you be donating both kidneys along with the heart or just one?

Both.

We'd also like for policy, for you to write a letter of recognition and condolence for your family and the patient, you may ask one of us to write it for you if you'd like.

I have already written them, she reached into her purse and splayed out only one.

But Miss excuse me, there is just one, I'd understand if you're a bit-

Confuse this not, I only speak to those who listen, my family has enough to worry about. they only read credit debts or mortgage letters, lest I give them the trouble of reading a heart (she smiled of the irony of it) warming letter, I've already made my leave from my residence.

Yes Miss, do you have any last minute requests?

Yes, insure that letter gets received at all cost, thank you, now if you'll excuse me.

The young doctor looked down at the envelope addressed to 'Sakura Haruno'
