Chapter 15
Golden week (PART 4)
"Dear God, Minato. I knew I shouldn't of done what I did" Kushina weeped. she wasn't the one to bawl, but her mother instincts took over her mind and there she was sobbing into her husband's chest, sitting outside of KYoto Hospital, while Chiyo, Tsunade and Shizune were inside a room with a Kyoto cancer specialist.
Hinata sat next to Kyuubi, she blushed furously and couldn't help but frown.
"Kushina..." Minato whispered. "It's no one's fault. It was an accident."
"Still, things like this, should of happened" She cried. "Naruto wasn't supposed to feel abnormal, he was supposed to have fun with us and be like a noramal kid" Minato felt a sting to the heart. She was right, the whole plan for this trip was for Naruto to not feel like a burden and to have fun with his family. He kept himself from breaking down and crying, he had to be strong for his wife.
"I...I'm sorry, Minato-kun...Kushina-kun..." Minato and Kushina turned to Hinata. She was nervous, they could tell by her shaking.
"If...if I had done somthing...besides panic...then Naruto-kun...wouldn't be here." She bit her lip and Kushina hugged Hinata, alarming Hinata, but she hugged back.
"Hinata-chan...Thank you" Kushina cried.
Hinata blushed.
"So...what do you think happened, Chiyo-san?" Tsunade asked. Chiyo took the IV stand, brining it closer to Naruto, injecting fluids into his arm.
"I'm guessing he was short of breath, lots of Cancer patients go threw somthing like this. But what curiouses me, is that he didn't show any symtoms of this before. From what was told to me by Hinata-san, Naruto had suddenly started coughing and hacking, I guess that was the "red-alert" signal, but none of us were around to know." She lowered her head.
Then she sighed sadly. Shizune and Tsunade's eyes widened.
"Don't say it." Tsunade spoke quietly.
"Tsunade-san...you and I both know that this-"
"DON'T FUCKING SAY IT!" Tsunade screamed, this frightened Shizune. Chiyo sighed, looking over at the doctor, who sat in his chair at his desk, reading papers.
"This is my dear friend, Katsuya." Chiyo said.
A man turned, he smiled. He had jet-black hair, brown eyes and he was rather tall, slender and his white lab coat did make him look professional. Katsuya stood, walking over to Naruto's bedside.
"So, this is Naruto Uzuamki you've told me so much about?" Katsuya smiled.
"Yes...This is the boy who's suffering from Cancer." Chiyo sadly smiled. "I'm sorry, Tsunade. But you and I both know how difficult this task was and even with our medical staff and medicines-"
Tsunade kicked a chair. "I promised that kid that nothing would happen to him! Are you telling me that just because he was short of breath, that now he's not going to survive?!" The room was deathly quiet. Katsuya sighed and sadly smiled, he packed a few papers in boxes and Tsunade turned to him.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"I'd like to meet the boy's family. After all...I think I can save his life."
Minato and Kushina fumbled with paperwork while Hinata silently sat waiting for Naruto. Jiraiya and Kyuubi played a small game of poker, using Doritos and Pringle chips as money and Chiyo stepped out of the room. Kushina looked up, rushing to her.
"Well? What's wrong with him?" She asked.
"Kushina...he'll be fine." Chiyo smiled.
Kushina smiled and tears of happiness fell from her eyes.
"We can take him back to the hot-springs, but I suggest we cut this trip short and bring him back to Konoha Cancer Center. I'm afraid that if another insident like this were to happen again, then we wouldn't be ready, even with another oxygen tank." She informed.
Minato nodded. "Kyuubi, Jiraiya and myself will all go back and pack everyone's stuff. When we do that, you girls can wait for Naruto when he wakes up to tell him what we're going to do next."
Kushina nodded, then she turned to Hinata. "I'm sorry plans were cancelled, Hinata-san."
"Oh, no! As long as Naruto's alright, then that's what really matters" She smiled. Kushina's eyes widened and a good feeling went threw her head. She loved Hinata's attitude towards Naruto. She smiled. And After Minato, Jiraiya and Kyuubi left, the two girls sat in the lobby once again. They passed the time by talking about what would happen next and pretty soon the conversation somehow made it's way to Naruto.
"So...Hinata, if I may ask. How's Suck-er, Sakura in school?" Kushina blushed, seeing how she caught herself in her own mistake. Hinata smiled, then frowned.
"I guess she's okay. The other kids bully her on what she did to Naruto...and I won't forgive her." Slight anger went into her voice and Kushina grinned, evily.
"So...Naruto's cute, right?" She wrapped an arm around Hinata.
"W-WHAT?!" Hinata blushed.
"My baby's cute, right?" She tested. "He's gonna' need a good wife-someone like myself-to love him when he leaves this hospital."
"W-Wife?" Hinata tried so hard not to faint.
"What's your wedding dress size?"
"WEDDING DRESS?!" Hinata lost it there and she fainted in her chair.
Katsuya smiled seeing the small boy start to wake up. Katusay set down his clipboard and sat at the edge of the hospital bed.
"Hey, sleepy head." He smiled. "Are you feeling okay?"
Naruto was confused. He had no idea where he was, he knew in a hospital, but they couldn't be in Konoha Cancer Center, could they? And on top of that, he had no idea who this man was, he looked like a doctor, so he calmed down a bit.
"Okay...Where's my Kaa-san?" He asked.
"Would you like to see her?" Katsuya asked. Naruto nodded and Katsuya looked over at Tsunade, asking her to fetch Kushina. Shizune followed Tsunade out the door and Naruto turned his attention back to Katsuya. Katsuya smiled, holding out his hand.
"My name is Katsuya. I'm the Cancer doctor here in Kyoto. Chiyo and I have been friends for a while now, she's told me a lot about you, Naruto-kun." He smiles, shaking Naruto's hand gently.
Naruto blushes. "I'm not that special. Now Kyuubi-he's famous!" Naruto boasted with pride "One time my nii-san Kyuubi spraypainted the grat bridge of Konoha with his gang! He still hasen't been caught" Naruto smiled. Katsuya felt a sweat drop and he sadly smiled. Katsuya and Naruto talked for about two minutes before Kushina stormed in the room, rushing to Naruto's side.
"Oh my God, Naruto! Are you alright?" She asked.
"I'm fine, Kaa-san." Naruto smiled.
"I'm so sorry, Naru-chan. I couldn't have left you alone, I should of taken you back to the springs" Kushina felt awful, if she had only listened to Naruto, than none of this would have happened. Katsuya placed his hand on Kushina's shoulder, alerting Kushina.
"My name is Katsuya, I was the one to helped treat your son." He introduced. "I will say, Naruto's condition wasn't major, but he did have an attack. As for passing out, I'm sure that was a result from lack of nutrients. I'm not saying that you starve the boy, because I clearly see that you love him, but Tsunade and I have agreed to change his diet a little bit."
Kushina took in every word and Naruto's ear perked up, if anything involved food, he listened carefully.
"Some salts will be inserted to his diet and few sugars to keep his blood sugar normal."
"Ramen?" Naruto smiled.
Kushina laughed loudly. Yup, that's her son.
Meanwhile in Konoha City...
Sakura Haruno felt lonley. Her parents for the first time that month (after being grounded a month, they finally let her go shopping by herself again) let her go to the mall. She had about ten dollars to spend and she wanted to see the sale at the new Cosplay store. Everything would be seventy-five percent off. She thought she would have a little peace from the "drama" at school, but once she stepped inside the store she knew it was a big mistake. Inside was Sasuke Uchiha, her ex-crush along with Tenten, Ino, and Kiba. She tried to walk away from the store, as quickly and quietly as possible, but she bumped into a coat rack, knocking down clothes and behind the coat rack just happened to be the jewlery counter, she had busted a great amount of expensive cossplay jewls.
The quartette turned, all of them took one look at Sakura and glared.
Sakura gulped. The store manager came out, seeing Sakura on the floor, instantly pinpointing that she was the culpret.
"Mam' I'm going to have to phone your parents, come over here." He said.
Sasuke snickered and Sakura felt tears in her eyes, and they fell once she saw Ino video recording this.
"Going on Facebook and Instagram" She chanted away, playing with her iPhone. Sakura tried to cover her face from other students and adults in the room, but everything was embaressing. Exposed. Humiliating. Disgusted.
While the Manager began to talk to Sakura's father on the phone, asking for the amount of damage that needed to be replaced she couldn't help but think about Naruto. She remembered the face Naruto made once he found out the truth about her dirty joke. She knew exactly how he felt now. She felt so stupid. She felt blind from what she really was. She had to apologize to him, but the question was how could she? Then, as if by considance, she saw a map of city bus routes that went all over the city. She smiled, one went from South Konoha City all the way up to Northern Konoha. All she had to do was take the bus to Northern Konoha then it would be probably a thirty-minute walk to the cancer Center if she walked threw the town of Northern Konoha. She smiled, leaping from the chair, ignoring the manager calling out her name. She raced out of the mall, seeing the bus coming her way, she waved out her hand, grabbing her ten dollars.
"I'm coming Naruto." She smiled.
Part 4 of the Hot-springs vacation is complete And what's Sakura gonna' do?! Does anyone think she'll be forgiven? :)
