Heads up next chapter is the last one :( I'm sad and they will probably will not be a sequel.
" Come Together"
Chapter 29
" That Darn Punch"
It was now night time and everyone was over at Sai's house for the huge celebration. Sakura was getting ready in the bedroom while Sasuke was getting dressed in their private bathroom because Sakura wanted to surprise him on how she looked. She looked at herself in the mirror and figured that she looked good. She had on a pale pink mini skirt with a black corset top that matched.
Sakura then heard Sasuke knocking on the bathroom door, wanting to know if he could come in now because he was done getting ready. She told him to come in and turned around to see him wearing navy blue slacks and a black tee shirt. Sakura always loved how her boyfriend looked sexy in anything that he wears. Sasuke couldn't help but stare at her as she walked up to him with a huge smile on her face.
" Like what you see?"
Sakura smirked out then felt Sasuke wrap his strong arms around her waist and planted a kiss on her forehead.
" No, I don't like what I see."
Sasuke spoke out truthfully as he stared down at her emerald eyes. The comment started to make Sakura frown and Sasuke smirked.
" I don't like what I see because I love what I see."
Sasuke whispered into her ear then pulled back a little bit to see the smile reappear on her face then she hugged him even tighter.
" I love you so much Sasuke!" Sakura cried out with happiness as she let go of him and started to walk away with Sasuke following her.
" I love you too."
Sasuke replied as he wrapped his arm around her waist and started to walk out of the room when suddenly Sakura stopped moving and Sasuke took notice.
" Sakura? Are you okay?"
Sasuke asked out in concern as he watched her place her hand on her head and blinked really hard.
" I'm fine... I guess I got a little too excited. Now we should hurry up and go downstairs!
Sakura said with excitement and tried to pull on Sasuke's hand but he wouldn't move.
" Sasuke?" Sakura asked as she turned around to face her boyfriend who had a serious look on his face.
" You know we don't have to go down there if you aren't feeling up for it. I'm pretty sure everyone will understand." Sasuke told her in a worry tone of voice.
" I'm fine Sasuke and I promise if something happens you will be the first to know."
Sakura said with a smile on her face then leaned over to give him a quick kiss on the tip of his nose then dragged him by the hand out of the bedroom and downstairs.
The couple walked downstairs with their hands intertwined with each others and was immediately greeted by Sai and Temari.
" So there is the couple of the evening. I was wondering if you two were going to show up." Temari smirked out while Sakura blushed and Sasuke rolled his eyes.
" Sorry we took so long." Sakura replied.
" Do you want me to get you something to drink?" Sasuke asked his girlfriend.
" Punch sounds good. It's the only non alcoholic drink here besides water and I'm not in the mood for water." Sakura replied as Sasuke nod his head.
" Hey, I'll come with you and introduce you to everyone." Sai said to him as they walked over, leaving the two girls alone.
" So, Sakura, are you missing all of your friends yet?" Temari asked her as they stood around.
" Yeah I miss them a lot... oh before I forget, just to let you know, you got Shikamaru in so much trouble by Ino earlier." Sakura told the blond.
" Me? What did I do?" Temari tried to act innocent
" Yeah yeah..."
Sakura said while rolling her eyes then felt a chin being pressed down on her shoulder and looked over to see that Sasuke had came back with their drinks. He handed her over her punch while he was satisfied with water.
" Thank you so much Sasuke." Sakura chirped as she began to drink her punch.
" Hn." Sasuke replied as he glanced over at what Temari was wearing.
' Sakura was right... Temari does look like a who-'
Sasuke's thoughts were then interrupted by his lovely girlfriend.
" Come on Sasuke, lets go see who else is here."
Sakura said as Sasuke then wrapped his unoccupied arm around her waist as they walked over to the crowd.
About an hour later, Sasuke was hanging out with Gaara and Konkuro when he noticed that Sakura was a few feet away talking to Temari and the guy named Deidara, who he met at his house a few months ago. Now that Sasuke thought about it, he saw all the guys that Itachi were friends with at the party except for Sasori, he was not invited.
Sasuke and Kisame had a conversation not too long ago. Mainly Kisame was talking about the old days that him and Itachi used to get in trouble and would tell stories of how Itachi was while Sasuke would listen, keeping his eye on his girlfriend.
" So Sasuke, are you going to be a new member of our band now?" Gaara asked him, having Sasuke to shift his eyes from the pink haired girl to the red head.
" Pardon?"
Sasuke questioned him before taking another sip of his water. But before he could hear the question again he heard some commotion. He turned around to see Sakura crouching on the floor while throwing up blood.
" Oh God Sakura." Sasuke called out as he ran over to her and bend down to cradle her in his arms.
" What happened?" Sasuke asked Temari who had a worried look on her face.
" I don't know, she was fine one minute drinking her punch then all of the sudden she started coughing up blood." Temari answered.
" Maybe she was drinking too much, you do know that Hidan had spiked the punch earlier." Deidara replied which caused Sasuke to glare up at the blond.
' That darn punch! She had been drinking it since we came downstairs.' Sasuke thought to himself.
" What? Sakura can't have any alcohol in her system because her liver is failing!" Sasuke yelled out at the blond while Sai and his mother quickly went over to him.
" Sasuke, we need to get her to the hospital now! I already called Tsunade and she is expecting us."
Sai said and Sasuke nod his head and picked Sakura up bridal style and followed Sai out to his car and Sasuke and Sakura stayed in the back seat while Sai started to drive, leaving his mother at the house to make sure everyone goes home before coming to the hospital.
When Sasuke, Sakura and Sai arrived at the hospital, Sakura was immediately taken by the nurses who had a stretcher out waiting for her. They saw Tsunade join in as they ran into the emergency room. Sasuke and Sai then walked over to the waiting room.
" Don't worry man, this is one of the best hospitals, if you thought that Leaf hospital was great, this one is the Gods of hospitals. One of the reasons why Tsunade was asked to come back since she was one of the best doctors here."
Sai explained to the younger Uchiha as he noticed he seemed worried. Sasuke didn't respond to the male but instead he continued to stare at the floor.
" Sai! Sasuke!"
Both males lifted their heads up to see Sai's mother, Temari, Konkuro and Gaara rushing over to them.
" How is she?" Gaara asked.
" She is in surgery right as we speak."
Sai responded as he watched the others take a seat. There was a moment of silence until Temari decided to speak out.
" Hidan says he is really sorry about spiking the punch. He didn't know about Sakura's condition." Temari spoke out.
" But don't worry, Gaara took care of him."
Konkuro told Sasuke, trying to make him feel better even though it wasn't working while Gaara smirked to himself for beating Hidan up. A few minutes later, they noticed that a nurse was walking up to the group.
" Hey Kiki." Sai said seductively which caused Sasuke to look over at him and raise an eyebrow.
' Does he really have sex with every single nurse that works at whatever hospital Sakura ends up going to?' Sasuke thought to himself.
" Hi Sai! I wanted to let you guys know that Dr. Tsunade has decided to go ahead with the liver transplant now. Fortunately we already had a liver so hopefully if the surgery goes well, her body will take in her new liver."
Kiki said in a serious tone of voice. Sasuke looked at her then looked back at the ground. He was thankful that the girls that Sai did end up sleeping with made their work come first instead of trying to get into his pants.
" Thank you for letting us know." Sai's mother replied to the nurse.
" Not a problem now I must go back but I just wanted to share the news with you guys."
The nurse said before nodding her head and walking back down the hallway.
" Well at least we got some good news instead of bad news." Konkuro said, trying to make the situation better.
" Mom, you should go back home and rest. You have been up since early this morning. You all can go on home since I know the plane took off very early in the morning." Sai told everyone.
" I'm staying." Sasuke replied as he kept on staring at the floor while everyone else except for Sai got up from their seats.
" Okay well call us if anything happens okay?" Temari said then she began to walk away.
" Yeah don't worry, Sakura will get threw this." Konkuro said.
" I will let everyone else know on AIM on what's happening before I go to bed." Gaara said as they all started walking away.
" Now you two try and get a little bit of rest while staying here. Let me know what happens." Sai's mother said then walked off.
" This reminds me of the last time Sakura had an emergency, except that Naruto was with us."
Sai said with a fake smile on his face as he recalled the memory, hoping to get a response from Sasuke but received none.
A few hours went by and Tsunade walked out with a satisfied grin on her face. She walked over to the waiting room and saw Sai sleeping on a nearby couch while Sasuke was still surprisingly awake and was glaring hard at the floor.
' Poor boy, he has done so much for her. I can tell he really loves her.'
Tsunade thought to herself as she walked over to the younger Uchiha who happened to look up after he heard footsteps coming his way.
" How is she?"
Sasuke asked out as he stood up from his seat while Sai opened up his eyes up after hearing Sasuke talking.
" Tsunade?" Sai questioned out as he slowly sat up while rubbing his eyes.
" Sakura's surgery went very well and she is a sleep in her room at the moment. So far her body is taking in her new liver but I would like her to rest here for the next few days to see if anything changes."
Tsunade said with a smile on her face. Sasuke was speechless. His cherry blossom was going to be just fine and he was so thankful for it. Sai had brought a smile on his face but this time was a real one and not a fake one.
" Can I go see her?" Sasuke pleaded with the doctor as she stood there and thought about her decision.
" Of course, I figured you would want to be by her side now. I can't come with you because I have other matters I must attend to but her room number is 420. I will go check up on her in a few hours." Tsunade said as she waved off while walking off.
" Well I guess it's time for you to see your princess." Sai told the Uchiha as he got up from his seat.
" Aren't you coming with me?" Sasuke asked him but saw him shake his head.
" No, I'm really tired but I didn't want to leave you here alone but since she has her own room now, you won't be alone." Sai told him.
" Thank you Sai." Sasuke said as he walked off while Sai walked in the opposite direction.
A few weeks later, Sakura was finally allowed to go home and Sasuke drove over to the hospital to pick her up. He wanted to go buy her flowers so Sai had let him borrow his car. When he arrived at the hospital, he could see Sakura waiting for him inside near the check out desk, waiting for him. He walked into the hospital and quietly walked up behind Sakura who didn't hear him but instead was talking to the nurse behind the desk.
Sakura was smiling at her then suddenly she felt a chin on her shoulder and turned around to see it was her boyfriend. She looked down and noticed the red roses that were cradled in his arms.
" Sasuke!" Sakura chirped out as he leaned down and gave her a soft kiss, wanting her to melt instantly.
" Hello to you too." Sasuke said as he smiled at her while giving her the roses.
" Sasuke! These are beautiful! I love them." Sakura said as she held his hand and walked out of the hospital.
" I'm glad." Sasuke said the quickly went behind her and picked her up bridal style before she had the chance to protest.
" Sasuke, you spoil me." Sakura admitted while resting her head on his chest.
" Hn." Sasuke responded while smirking down at the girl.
" I love you Sasuke."
" I love you too Sakura."
