OH MY GOD! 38 REVIEWS! THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU MADE ME SO HAPPY! Here is Chapter 17! I hope you will enjoy!
Tsunade quickly checked Sakura's pulse. While some of her helpers ran to check on Karin.
It was slower than usual.
"Sasuke! Stop shaking her! Help me get her into the operating room!" Tsunade yelled.
Sasuke got up from the ground with Sakura in his arms and everyone ran to the operating room.
Tsunade yelled to a servant to get Shizune.
They ran in to the operating room and Tsunade ordered Sasuke to place Sakura on the table and leave.
"I won't leave her!" Sasuke yelled
"Leave! You will only be a nuisance right now. Do you want her to die?" Tsunade shouted.
Sasuke glared at her and left the room. He sat down on the floor as he looked at his blood covered hands.
His hands fisted when he remembered how he pushed Sakura. She was pregnant with his child and he did all those things. He didn't believe her when she was always telling only the truth.
He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.
He felt like a jerk. No. Even worse.
Shizune ran in the room with three of her medic students.
"Bring towels, hot water, and alcohol!" Tsunade yelled to one of Shizune's students!
"Oh God! What happened!" Shizune asked shocked.
"Now is not the time. We are running out of time. Check her pulse." Tsunade said.
"It is slowing down." Shizune answered.
Tsunade carefully turned Sakura to the side.
"I'll start healing in the front and will take out the sword you need to heal the back and hold her." Tsunade ordered.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama." Shizune answered.
Tsunade started healing and slowly took out the sword while Shizune healed the back.
Tsunade almost fully healed the wound but left it since she was running out of chakra.
One of the students brought everything that was necessary.
"Shizune come here and help. You. Wipe the blood from her back and disinfect it." Tsunade ordered.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama." One of the students answered.
Tsunade put her hand on Sakura's stomach to check the condition of the baby.
She closed her eyes and concentrated her chakra on the womb.
Tsunade's brows furrowed.
"Bring me a two pots with water. Hurry." Tsunade yelled.
"Shizune. She has internal bleeding. The womb is starting to feel up with blood and the baby will die. I need one of your students to give me chakra. While I take out the blood you need to heal her." Tsunade said.
Shizune nodded.
Tsunade concentrated and started taking out the blood in bubbles of water as one of the students gave her chakra.
"I need another pot." Tsunade yelled.
"Shizune. Check her pulse." Tsunade said as sweat rolled down her face.
"It is rapidly slowing down." Shizune said in a packed voice.
"We need to work faster or we will loose her. Apply more chakra." Tsunade said.
Tsunade took out all the blood while Shizune was finishing healing. She wasn't bleeding anymore.
Tsunade checked her pulse and her eyes widened. She could barely feel it and it was very slow.
"Shizune! Move!" Tsunade yelled.
Tsunade tore Sakura's dress apart in the chest area as she put her hands on Sakura's chest.
Electricity came out of her hands and Sakura's body went up and fell.
"HANG ON, SAKURA!" Tsunade yelled.
Sasuke rushed in the room and the door slammed into the wall.
When he saw what she was doing to Sakura he became furious.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO HER!" he yelled as he was about to push her to the side Itachi grabbed him and held his arms down.
"Calm down! She knows what she is doing!" Itachi said with a serious tone in his voice.
Sasuke looked at Tsunade and saw her serious face as the lightning came out of her hands.
"Shizune check her pulse. I hope this helped to make her heart go faster. I can't use more lightning since it will hurt the baby. And I can't take out the baby since it hasn't developed enough." Tsunade said as she wiped off the sweat from her forehead.
Shizune did as she was told.
When she touched Sakura's neck her eyes widened. Sakura's body was cold and there was no sign of her heart beating.
Tears built up in Shizune's eyes.
"S-She i-is d-" she got interrupted.
"DON'T SAY IT! SHE IS NOT DEAD!" Sasuke yelled as he ran towards Sakura's side.
He shook her dead body.
Kaoru cried into Itachi's chest as he hugged her.
Tsunade looked at the floor trying not to cry. Her hands fisted.
"SAKURA! WAKE UP!" he yelled as he kept shaking her.
He hugged her and her head was lifelessly laying on his chest. But she looked like she was in peace.
He hugged her tighter to his chest as he started crying.
He never in his life cried like that. Not even when his parents died.
"Sakura! Please! I need you. Don't leave me alone." He sobbed his head buried in her sweet smelling hair.
He felt something against his chest and looked at her.
Her chest was slowly rising and he felt her breathe against his chest.
"She is alive!" he said as he hugged her tightly.
Tsunade checked her pulse and it was rising with every second. Then she concentrated and checked the condition of the baby.
Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank god! Let's take her to her room. She needs rest." Tsunade said.
"No. Take her to my room." Sasuke said.
"Fine then." Tsunade said.
A medic entered the room.
"Tsunade-sama. I have news about Karin-sama and Kabuto-san." He said.
"Well?" Tsunade asked exhausted and wanting to quickly get to her room to drink some sake.
"They didn't make it. " the medic said.
Tsunade looked at Sasuke and saw how his hands fisted a bit and he closed his eyes.
"Thank you for informing me. You can go." Tsunade said.
Tsunade turned and motioned for Sasuke to follow.
Sasuke took Sakura from the table and headed to his room.
"What are you going to do now?" Tsunade asked as they were heading towards his room.
"Nothing." He said as he entered the room and shut the door.
He locked the door and placed Sakura on the bed.
He took off her dress and started to clean her wounds. Even though the medics already disinfected the wounds he wanted to make sure that everything was clean. When he was done he put on her one of his shirts.
He laid down next to her and wrapped her up in his arms and covered them with a blanket.
He softly kissed her on the forehead.
"I love you. And always will no matter what." He whispered and drifted off to sleep.
Something bright was hitting her eyes. And it was irritating her. Was she dead? She carefully opened her eyes scared to see where she was.
But when she opened her eyes she saw Sasuke's room.
Memories from what happened rushed into her head.
"THE BABY!" Sakura yelled as she sat up.
She winced when she felt the pain in her chest.
"Shhh. The baby is fine." Sasuke said as he gently patted her head and kissed her on the cheek.
"S-S-Sasuke!" she said surprised.
'He knows!' she thought as she clutched the bed sheets.
He stared at her with a smile but then it disappeared.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked as his eyes were boring into Sakura's.
"Because of Karin…" Sakura said as she looked down at her lap.
"Did she threaten you?" he asked.
"No…" Sakura answered.
"Then what did she do that you didn't tell me such an important thing!" he shouted.
Sakura winced.
"One time I passed by your room and you were with Karin. I heard your conversation and that you wanted her to give birth to your first child." She said as tears started streaming down her face.
"But you were both pregnant at the same time. How were going to hide it when your stomach would grow bigger? Plus it wasn't my child. It was Kabuto's." Sasuke said as he gritted his teeth.
"How do you know? Maybe she lied!" Sakura said.
"No. The next morning I went into Karin's room. On the table there was a glass with some green liquid in it. And near it lay a note from Orochimaru. 'Don't forget to drink the potion. You don't want to get pregnant from Sasuke. Right?' it said.
"Where is Karin?" Sakura asked mad and ready to go beat up Karin since she hurt Sasuke like that.
"She is dead." He said with emotionless voice and lowered his head.
Sakura gasped and covered her mouth from shock.
She gently touched his cheek and then gasped again.
A tear ran down his cheek.
"Sasuke…" Sakura said as she hugged him.
" I am sorry. Even though she did betrayed me. She was one of the closest people to me after my parents died." He said as he cried.
"It's okay." Sakura said.
She understood him. He loves Karin. Her gaze lowered as she held Sasuke in her arms. Even though she was gone he would still love her the most.
His head came lower and lay on her chest as she drew circles on his back.
"I realized something." He suddenly said as he stopped crying.
"What is it?" Sakura asked.
"The love I had for Karin wasn't love. I was just attached to her since she was there for me. I depended from her since she gave me emotional help when my parents died. But I found true love. The love that I never felt. The love that makes my heart beat faster and makes me nervous." He said.
Sakura lowered her gaze.
'He probably fell in love with some beautiful girl.' Sakura thought.
"You are my first true and last love." He said as he looked up at her.
Sakura's mouth hung open from shock.
"Who did you think I was talking about?" he asked amused.
"N-No one." She answered. Embarrassed that she didn't get the hint.
He smirked as he started unbuttoning her shirt.
"W-What are you doing?" she said.
"Showing you my love." He said as he started kissing from her stomach and up to her chest.
"B-But we can't!" she said as she turned red.
"Why not?" he asked as he gently bit her skin.
"B-Because I am pregnant." She replied and then winced.
"What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.
"You j-just touched the wound." She said.
"I am sorry." He said as he kissed her forehead.
"Tsunade gave me a cream for that wound but I have a better idea." He said as he gave a devilish smirk.
"What is it?" Sakura asked confused.
He licked the wound as Sakura winced slightly and turned pink.
He started to kiss up her neck.
She missed his touches so much.
His gentle kisses.
His strong arms.
The heat coming from his body when they made love.
"And we can make love when you are pregnant. Tsunade said so." He said as he smirked and passionately kissed her.
She gently pushed him away.
"Wait. I have to tell you something." Sakura said.
"What is it?" he asked.
"After I passed out I heard voices. I felt my body being warmed. But then I fell into darkness. It was cold there until I felt something warm embrace me and call out my name and cry. And it was you. You saved me. My angel." She said as she kissed him gently.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you too. Forever." She said as they started to make love.
