I own nothing and medical terms are from google. So, yeah.

Sarada's pov.

I felt eyes on me and I knew they weren't Bolt's. I facing Bolt, our chests flushed against each other, but his head was in my shoulder, I could feel his even breaths against my neck. My arms were wrapped around him and his were around me. I yawned and opened my eyes. The hokage, Himawari, Shikamaru and Papa were staring at us.

"Sarada. You better be fully clothed under those blankets." Papa said, I looked and saw Bolt was shirtless.

"I am. We didn't do anything." I yawned again, too tired and achy to fight with him. I pulled my arm out and began to shake Bolt. "Bolt. Bolt." I whispered,

"Boruto!" The hokage said, louder. Bolt jumped at his fathers voice, sitting up. Clutching his arm.

"Shit. This burns like hell." He hissed.

"Go see Sakura. She'll change the bandage and make it feel better." His dad shooed him out. Bolt nodded and quickly kissed me. Pulling back.

"Ew, morning breath." He teased, mushing my hair and bowing to Shikamaru, his dad and mine, scooping up his shirt and bumping Himawari, then walking out the door. I rolled my eyes and turned to face them, sitting cross-legged and Himawari sat next to me, pulling her knees up and wrapping her arm around them.

"Ok girls. I want to know what happened, every detail." Naruto asked, in full Hokage mode. He wasn't my uncle, nor her dad anymore.

"You moved Bolt off to go chase a cat, and we left like normal. Himawari lead first and I took up the rear, a few hours later,"

"I need exact hours." Shikamaru said, writing this down. I glared at him.

"I wasn't timing it. Maybe 2 hours. As I was saying, we switched and I was in the lead. Around noon, we breaked to let the clients eat and rest. I looked over everything while Himawari filled the canteens. We ate till maybe 1 and started out again. I took the lead and one of the clients, Zene, kept trying to talk to me and walk by me. I shook her off and something caught my attention, It was a bunch of paper bombs on the ground and I reacted, grabbing Zene and jumping back, they went off, and if we would've been closer, everyone would've been hurt, but I took the brunt of it, getting hit in the back. No one was hurt, bad, I just got hit. Himawari cleaned it and we got the whole story out of them."

"They told us about the treaty and some people weren't happy about it. They showed us the documents, and Sarada decided to take off, look around and send for help. I tried to stop her, but she took off, so I set up camp and waited."

"I looked around, using my sharingan and saw the chakra levels, it was weird, it was everywhere, yet nowhere at the same time. I sent Nani out and ran into three guys."

"Do you know their names?" Shikamaru asked. I closed my eyes, trying to remember.

"Two, Jinor and Hirato, but the leader never said his name. They did a weird freezing jutsu on me, and talked about papa. Taunting me with you. I got to my smoke bombs and got them in the face. I escaped and tried to get away, I heard the leader send Jinor after me, and Hirato after Himawari while he went after Nani. I confronted Jinor and we battled, but he did a switch with a clone and caught me from behind, knocking me out." I looked to Himawari to tell what happened with her.

"I saw, what was his name? Hirato?" I nodded. "Well, I saw Hirato coming and prepared myself. I made clones, which set up traps and I battled him. It was a long battle and I finally caught him and knocked him out, tying him up. I sat and waited for Sarada."

"I woke up to hitting the ground hard, landing on my glasses, breaking them. I was gagged and blindfolded. I heard the men in there. They talked about how Himawari got their friend and how he didn't catch the dog and they needed to hurry. I gripped a piece of glass in my hand and got my bindings off. I sat up and waited, building the fire in my stomach, waiting for them to take the gag off. The second they did, I hit them as hard as I could, ripping my blindfold off and swiping the flames and running. I fell from a tree, hurting my ribs and got up and searched for Himawari's aura. I followed it and when I got close to her, I called for her, and I tripped and fell and Himawari came to me. After that, it gets fuzzy." I looked to Himawari finish.

"I heard Sarada calling me, and I followed her voice, finding her. She was in pretty bad shape, and I helped her back to the camp and sat her down. I didn't know what to do. We were stuck. I knew we couldn't make it to the village with Sarada's condition and couldn't abandon the caravan. I felt a shift in the air and knew they were coming. I had the clients hide while I gave Sarada the papers. She changed them into a Kanai and took one from me, promising to defend them with her life. I took a breath and prepared myself. I made some clones and sent some out to look through the forest. The men popped out of nowhere and I went at them. One went for me, and I tried to keep the other off Sarada, but I had to focus on the big guy I was fighting. I felt a heat pass me as I hit him with mama's lions fist and defeated him. I turn to see Bolt protecting Sarada from the fire coming at her, I didn't know Hirato freed himself. I felt something grab my arm and jerk it. I passed out to Bolt coming to my rescue and that's all I know."

"Wait, I burned Bolt?" I asked, looking around. I felt my eyes burn with shame as they wouldn't meet my gaze. "I hurt him like that? I knew dragon fire was a stupid mistake." I buried my face in my hands,

"Hey, I'm fine and he had you cornered." I saw Bolt in the doorway, his arm still wrapped.

"Good, can you fill in the blanks?" His dad looked at him. He nodded.

"Inojin and I were deep in the woods, trying to find that stupid cat. Inojin had just got a grab on it when I heard a yelp and jumped towards it, seeing Nani and some guy. He was attacking her and Inojin and I went and helped her, the guy escaping. I didn't think to follow him till Nani told me that Himawari and Sarada were in trouble. She then went to get you guys and I went after the man. I arrived to Himawari fighting and some guy jerking Sarada around. He threw a powder in her eyes and she hit him with Dragons breath, he tried to jump out of the way, but it hit him, but she fell and with him standing so close, some of it ricocheted back, going for her. I threw my arm out and stopped it, burning me. I didn't know about the third guy. I watched Himawari finish off her guy, and I thought it was over. I went to check on Sarada and I saw something rush Himawari, grabbing her and snapping her arm. I didn't think, I powered up Reseagan, which hurt like hell, and hit him, he vanished and I heard a thunk and squish. I saw Sarada fall and a kanai in her chest. that's when you guys showed up." Bolt sat next to me, holding my hand, rubbing his thumb against the top of my hand.

"Wait, something you said earlier, they knew who your dad was?" Shikamaru asked. I nodded.

"Yeah. They knew I was Uchiha when I didn't have my sharingan activated. I don't know how they knew things about me, things that you wouldn't just know."

"I need to to be specific, what things did they know." Naruto urged. I glanced at my papa, who was staring at me, looking curious too.

"They said they knew my father by name, and that he's helped them in the past. I claimed my papa would never help them, then they threw in my face why is he always gone, why you didn't see me off before my mission yesterday. They even knew Bolt proposed to me. And that's when I fled the first time. I heard them talking about mom when I was tied up. I didn't understand how they knew that. Bolt only proposed two days ago, and I only told my mother and Papa." The hokage and Shikamaru looked toward Papa.

"I've never seen them before. I swear."

"Well, they knew some specific details." Shikamaru pointed out.

"I don't know how they knew that." Papa crossed his arms. Glaring at them.

"Well, I'm going to send some people to go check on the caravan, make sure they made it and see if they know any information about those men." The hokage shifted his cape. Papa nodded.

"I want to go." Papa said. The hokage nodded.

"You can take Konohomaru and Tenten, that boy is always bugging me at not giving him anything exciting." Shikamaru shook his head.

"Today is Tenten's alone day at the graveyard. I guess this was the day of the week she and Neji always hung out and trained. You need to send someone else." Shikamaru said. I saw the Hokage clench his fist at the mention of Neji and nodded, thinking.

"Ok. How bout Lee?" Shikamaru nodded and so did papa. " Alright. Let's head out. I know I have paperwork up to my neck in the office. Bolt, Himawari, I want you to head home now, Sarada, your mother will be in here soon to check on you." I nodded.

"Ok. I'm going home now." Himawari bowed and ran out the door. Naruto looked at her funny.

"What was that about?" He muttered, more to himself. Shikamaru shrugged.

"She's your daughter." He said. Papa shook his head and leaned over, poking my forehead, smiling at me.

"I'll be back tonight. I'll send your mother in here." He walked out the door. The hokage and Shikamaru nodded to us.

"I mean it, I want you home in 10 minutes." Bolt rolled his eyes.

"I'll be home. Don't worry." Bolt waved to him. I leaned into his side.

"Why didn't you tell me I hurt you?" I asked, he shrugged.

"I'm the one who blocked the flames. I caused it."

"But I knew it was dangerous to use it, especially since I couldn't see."

"Again, not your fault. Now, I have to go. I'll be back later, ok?" I nodded, laying back in bed.

"Ok. I'll see you later." I smiled at him and he leaned over and kissed me.

"Now, I want you to stop blaming yourself. I'm fine and so are you." he kissed me again. "And you still have morning breath." He laughed as I threw the pillow at him, tossing it back as he walked towards the door. "Still love you though!" He said,

"Love you too." I called as he closed the door. I sighed and leaned back, my chest hurting.

"Hey baby." I looked and saw my mom walking in, in her doctor's uniform and Granny Tsunade coming in behind her.

"Hi." I said.

"How are you feeling?" She looked at my clipboard.

"My chest in on fire. My ribs ache and I still can't see well."

"Well, you're father is picking up your new glasses. And the burning is temporary, you gave us a scare." My mom said, brushing my hair back.

"How? According to Bolt, I was fine."

"Well, sweetie. Your heart stopped. Twice. We didn't tell Bolt or your father, I didn't want to worry them. "

"Wait. My heart stopped!" I held my chest, scared.

"Yeah. I almost had to walk away and have Lady Tsunade take over, but I held it together. You had Cardiac Tamponade," I looked at her, not knowing what that was, she sighed. "Too much blood from your wound filled the area around your heart, preventing it from beating. We got it drained and I used my healing to fix it best I could, but you're going to have one heck of a scar." I pulled my gown down and looked at the covered stitches. I had a freshly healed cut right next to it.

"Wait, you said it stopped twice." I looked at them

"Well, the second time was after we had you stitched up. We don't know what caused it, One moment, you had a strong heartbeat, the next you were flat-line for a few seconds, but it started right up again and we ran tests, but everything came up normal." Granny explained. Looking at my healing stitches and feeling my ribs. I hissed as she touched a tender spot. She smiled and apologized and the area began to feel cool. I felt the pain fade. "Ok, I think her ribs will be fine, how's her wound?" My Mom opened the front of my gown and felt it gently.

"Healing nicely. I don't think I'm going to mess with it. Let it heal naturally. I'll rub some antibacterial ointment every day and change the bandage,"

"Sounds good. You, young lady, have your father's stubbornness, and your mother's spirit, not just anyone can get stabbed in the chest, have their heart stop and have a heated argument with their boyfriends within hours of each other." I blushed.

"You heard us?" I asked, looking at the ground.

"Sweetie, the whole floor heard you guys. When it went quiet, we checked on you. Saw you two sleeping. Left it alone." Granny Tsunade said, grinning. "I'm going to go check on other patients, you got this?" Mom nodded and Granny Tsunade left.

"And, I believe this is yours." My mom pulled Bolt's necklace out of her pocket. I smiled.

"I was wondering where it went. I assumed it was gone forever." I took it and put it on, twirling it.

"I saw your father on the way out, told me about those men." Mom sat next to me, pushing my hair back again.

"Everything?" I asked. She nodded, messing with my hair.

"Yes. you might think your father lied, but I know him, and he isn't the same man he was when he was your age, he's changed and would never betray us. He was upset with you yesterday, I admit, he's stubborn, but he would never hurt you. He just doesn't want to face the fact his little girl is growing up into a strong woman." I leaned against my mom, she wrapped her arms around me. "And when you have kids, you'll understand." She whispered in my ear. I squeezed her tightly.

"I'm sorry for fighting with Papa then leaving and almost dying." I whispered. My mom hugged me tighter.

"It's fine. "she said. I went to pull back, but my mom held on. "Little longer, please." She whispered. "Ok. I think I'm going to be ok now. I know you are almost an adult, but it's scary when you see your flesh and blood on that operating table. So scary and when your father came through those doors with blood all over him and you in his arms, I screamed, I admit, I lost it for a moment. But I had to pull it together."

"Do I have to stay here, or can I go home?" I asked, My mom took out her stethoscope and stuck it on my back.

"Take some breaths, Ok. Your lungs sound normal. Everything seems healing nicely." She moved to my front and listened to my heart. "Your heart sounds strong." She put the stethoscope back around her neck and sighed. "Fine. I think you can head home. But only Chocho or Himawari are allowed in the house and I expect you to know better, Bolt isn't allowed over when your dad's on a mission and I'm at work."

"I know I know. Naruto sent Bolt and Himawari home to their mother."

"Yeah, I know. Come on. I'll help you get ready." She helped me change and I saw a sticky pad on me.

"What's this?"

"Heart monitor." She said.

"I got the rest." I shooed her away, she rolled her eyes and pointed to the sticky pad on my chest.

"This will sound an alarm if something happened when you're here." She left the room before I could ask what would set it off. I shrugged and continued getting dressed.

Sakura's POV

I heard the hospital doors open. I glanced up. It was Naruto, full Hokage gear, Sasuke, minus his cape, and Shikamaru, who looked bored and Himawari, looking tired, but had a happy smile on her face.

"Hey. What's up?" I asked. Looking at them. Sasuke walked to me and gave me a quick kiss.

"Hey. We need to talk to Sarada. Is she ok?" I nodded.

"Her and Bolt got into a little argument, but everything seems ok with them now. A nurse just checked on them and they're fast asleep."

"Ok. I'm going to be sending Bolt down here, Could you look at his arm again? From what Hinata described it looked pretty bad and I want to make sure that there is no nerve damage."

"From what I saw yesterday, his arm was healing fine. Besides, I want to change his bandage again." I looked back down at my paperwork. "Oh, and she's in room 307." I said, not looking up. A few moment's later, I heard footsteps and Bolt came strolling around the corner, his face filled with pain.

"Sakura? Can you make it stop throbbing so bad?" He asked. I looked at it and saw it was inflamed, no pun intended. I lead him to a room and pulled my hair back.

"Come here. It looks irritated." I said as I unwrapped it, looking at the damage. "These blisters need to be drained."

"Well, Sarada did accidentally sleep on it last night." He cringed as I poked the blister, not enough to tear it, but get a little bit of the liquid. His arm was mostly second degree burns, but I could see around the edges where the third degree began.

"Well, that wasn't smart, was it." I said, grabbing the cooling bandages. He shrugged. I began wrapping it in two layers of bandage, the burns going from his hand, all the way up to his upper arm, stopping just 3 or 4 inches from his shoulder.

"She was very emotional yesterday."

"I heard." I pulled a bit too tight on his bandage, making him jump and gulp, looking at me.

"I didn't hurt her."

"No. You didn't. But letting that girl hang on you sure hurt her.""

"I didn't let Zene hang on me!" Bolt tried to defend himself, but I rolled my eyes.

"You and your father act exactly alike! He was the same exact way with your mother! He never saw what other girls hanging on him did to her!" I cut the bandage and let his arm go, putting my hands on my hips, but he interrupted me before I could continue.

"I may be like him, but I don't see other girls because no other girl is Sarada! I don't notice their pawning for me because I'm too busy wondering what the one girl who matters, Sarada, what the hell she sees in me. Yes, I'm dense, slow, and forgetful. I know this. I just don't know how she sees past it all." He sat down on the bed, running his fingers through his hair, making it stick up more."And you know what sucks the most?" He asked, looking at me, his eyes looking pretty dead, he let out a dry chuckle. "I almost lost her yesterday. I should've been there. I was suppose to be there. If only I ran just a little bit faster. I shouldn't have turned around! It's my fault she's in the condition she's in." He buried his face in his hands. I sighed, feeling bad for snapping at him, but I can see he truly loves her. I sat down next to him. Patting his back.

"Hey, it's not your fault. She's an Uchiha, she'll bounce back. It's just a few cracked ribs and a hole in her chest. It can and will heal. You got that man off Nani and got her help in time. You are the perfect guy for her." He nodded.

"I'm going to go back up there. I know they are getting the story out of the girls, and I know they're going to want mine, since towards the end, Sarada was blind and Himawari was unconscious." He smiled at me and hurried away. I blew my bangs and went back to my desk. I glanced up, and saw spike head of Shikadai, sitting in a chair, looked bored. I shrugged and assumed he was waiting on Shikamaru or Bolt. I looked back at my paperwork. Sighing. As much as I loved my job, I sure hated all this paper work I had to fill out. I heard the sound of feet running and I looked up just in time to see a flash of yellow and indigo hair. I looked and Saw Himawari kissing Shikadai, or Shikadai kissing Himawari. I don't know, but it sure as hell shocked me. I stared, for a minute before I heard a crash and Saw Naruto on the floor while Shikamaru had his hand over his face and Sasuke ignored it and came over to me. Telling me everything.

"Wait, they knew about me and Sarada and everything?" He nodded

"It's very scary all the facts they knew about us. They even knew about the proposal." I put my hand over my mouth.

"Sasuke, that happened two days ago. No one knows that." He nodded.

"I know. Dobe back there is sending me, Lee and Konohomaru to that village and seeing if the Caravan people know of them." I nodded.

"Be careful please? I don't think my heart can take much more." I warned him. He nodded and smiled, which may seem rare to most people, but I've seen him smile a lot.

"Is she really ok?" His hands went to my waist, pulling me closer. I nodded, glancing at Himawari trying to get her dad up while Shikamaru was just shaking his head at Shikadai.

"She is. You need to pick her up some glasses though." I pushed his bangs back. "You need a haircut." I smiled at him.

"I like my hair the way it is. Now I got to go. I love you." He whispered, kissing me quickly. I smiled.

"I love you too. Be careful. I'm serious!" I called after him, seeing Lady Tsunade coming in after them. Naruto lead Himawari out while Shikamaru had Shikadai. I shook my head at them and lead Lady Tsunade to Sarada's room. We checked her out and Lady Tsunade finished healing her ribs while I looked at her heart, which was really worrying me. There's no reason I can find on why it stopped like it did. None. I was worried that it might do it again, and no one would be there to help her. She came up ok and wanted to go home, and with no reason to keep her here, I caved, handing her clothes.

"I want someone home with you. I think I'll call Ino. She'll come by till I get off of work." I muttered to myself, helping her into her clothes.

"I got the rest." Sarada shooed me. I went to my desk and dialed Ino's number. Sai answering.

"Hello?" He asked.

"Hey, It's me. Is Ino there?" I asked.

"Yeah. INO!" Sai yelled. I waited.

"Hello?" Ino asked.

"Hey, you doing anything today?" I asked, looking at my clipboard, to see who I got to check on.

"Ummm, no. The shops closed today, I already gave Tenten her flowers. Why?"

"It's Sarada. Her health is scaring me and I want someone with her. I got to work and Sasuke is interrogating the men that attacked the girls."

"And you want me to stay with her?"

"Could you? Please?"

"She's a big girl, you can't baby her you know." I let out a sigh.

"Ino," I looked around making sure no one was listening. "Ino, her heart stopped, twice. The first time, it was cardiac tamponade, blood from her wound filled the area around her heart and prevented it from pumping, which I fixed, but it stopped a second time out of nowhere and for no reason. I told her it was for a few seconds, but she was dead for 2 minutes. No heart beat, no breathing, nothing, then it started again out of nowhere, and we ran every test we could on her to find what caused it. Lady Tsunade couldn't find a reason, I couldn't find a reason and I'm scared that it's going to happen again, and I need someone to keep an eye on her. Please." I begged.

"Ok, I'll be there. I didn't know." Suddenly a buzzer went off. I looked at the board of lights to see the room number.

"Shit shit!" It was Sarada's room.

"Sakura? what's wrong!" Ino asked, but I had already dropped the phone and was running to her room and Sarada was on the floor, not moving and I kneeled down and felt her chest, nothing. No heart beat and she wasn't breathing. I began cpr.

"Someone get Lady Tsunade!" I yelled, counting the compression. "Come on Sarada, come on." I muttered, stopping and listening again, and still got nothing. "And someone get the Hokage down here!" I yelled. Feeling my heart jumping around. "Sarada." I said, feeling her heart start again. "Help me move her. I need to get her on the bed." We moved her and I set her up with a heart monitor and breathing tube. She wasn't waking up. I leaned against my hands as lady Tsunade looked at her. But all we can do is wait.

Sorry to leave it on this cliff hanger, but I'm already pushing 4,514 words and needed to end it. REVIEW!
