Well, here it is. I hope it's worth being so late.

24 Hours Later
Today, Team 7 was out on their own, doing stuff they needed to do that day. Naruto was still in his room, showing no progress. Tsunade was in her office, talking with Shizune.
Suddenly, Narutos heart monitor was speeding up to a normal pace. His heart beat was steady. That means Naruto's head is straight. Tsunade quickly got up from her seat and ran to his room were she looked at him. She went over and checked on him.
Tsunade removed the bandages that were covering his body. What she didn't expect was them all to be healed completely, with no scars at all. No cuts, no bruises and when she checked his sprained ankle, it was fully healed. All his injuries were healed.
"The Kyuubi must be working again. A week and a half before he wakes up." Tsunade said, as she went to examine his head. It was still a totally mess. No improvement there. If anything, it was getting worse because he wasn't using his brain.
Tsunade left, after removing all the unnecessary wrapping, and went to give her report on Narutos condition.
Kiba, Hinata and Shino walked into the hospital, wanting to visit Naruto. They each signed in and checked where Naruto was staying. Seeing the room number he was in, the three of them left the waiting room.
Kiba was the first to enter the room, followed by Shino, then a very shy Hinata. All of them were very surprised to see that Naruto didn't have any gauze and such all around him. They all sat down and talked about all the good times they had with Naruto.
"I remember one time, when he and I were fighting and he totally tricked me by transforming into Akamaru." Kiba told them. Hinata was next.
"I-I remember one t-time, when w-we talked about h-how well h-h-he'd on the C-Chuunin Exams" Hinata stutters.
"One time, he and I talked about becoming Hokage (A.N. I made that up, so nobody needs to be confused)
They each took turns saying what they remembered. There was a knock at the door. Kiba and Shino said" Come in", while Hinata twiddled her thumbs. Team Gai entered the room, Gai sensei said that his wonderful student would like to enjoy a few minutes of their youth to visit Naruto.
Kiab and his team mates walked out of the room, while Neji, Ten-Ten and Lee came in with their sensei. They had also talked about their memories with Naruto, then had left.
Sakura went down to Ino's flower shop to buy flowers for Naruto. Ino was working there. When she got there, she looked at the white, red and pink flowers. Ino walked up to here and said, "Naruto would like the red ones the best."
"Do you think?" she said, eyeing the red ones.
"Yep, definitely!"
"Thanks Ino, could I get two red flowers?" Ino nodded and grabbed then for her. She brought them to the cash register and Sakura paid for them. The sun was shinning, with hardly any clouds. Birds were flying across the sky. It felt kind of peaceful to Sakura.
She walked towards the hospital wanting to give the flowers to Naruto. She walked in the waiting room, signed in and went to his room.
Sakura opened the door and looked at Naruto. She was shocked, as she dropped the flowers and noticed that all of the bandages on Naruto were gone. Everything was healed. Every cut, bruise and burn. Running over to him, she cried, "Naruto? Naruto wake up!!"
When she got no response, she yelled again "Naruto!"
"He can't hear you", a voice said behind her. She turned around to see Tsunade standing in the doorway. Tsunade noticed the confused look on her face, picked up the flower and walked in, setting the flowers in a vase.
"His mind hasn't healed at all. If anything, its getting any worse, cause theres no activity there. The kyuubi found a way around the barrier and healed him. He still won't wake up for another week at the least."
Sakura started crying. The thing she wanted the most at this moment was to see Naruto awake. She couldn't stand not hearing his voice yell in her ear, the hitting him in the head afterwords and him just talking about ramen all the time.
Tsunade walked out of the room and left Sakura with Naruto. It was a lot to handle for Sakura. She ended up falling asleep on the chair next to him.
Kakashi and Sasuke was heading toward the hospital for their daily visit on Naruto
When they got to Naruto's room, the had the same reaction as Sakura had earlier. It liked like Naruto was sleeping, they way that Naruto had all of the wrapping and gauze around him. They found Sakura still sleeping on the chair, with her arms out on the bed, her head resting peacefully on them.
Kakashi sat in the chair across from the bed while Sasuke stood by the window sill, looking at the flowers Sakura had brought Naruto.
'She did that with me also' Kakashi thought, also looking at the flowers. Kakashi took a pill that would help with the pain in his arm. It was still in the sling Shizune had given him. He didn't like the fact he couldn't train properly with anyone.
They all sat there, watching Sakura and Naruto sleep.
Again I am soooo sorry this chapter cam out so late. Please if I take so long ever again, let me know. For those of you who always are reading Two Lives, I will have that updated tomorrow.
