Chapter 14: Hospital
I wake up in a strange white room with monitors that won't stop beeping. The bed and clothes feel a bit scratchy. I try to get up only to get dizzy. I sigh and look over to see what else is attached to me besides the heart monitor ad IV. I find a thing of blood attached to me plus an oxygen mask.
I feel so numb yet I feel pain.
My eyes drift back shut so I can sleep in complete darkness.
'Where am I?" I hear someone rise from a chair not that far from me. I lift my head but before I can see the person I'm wrapped bup in their arms. I look over a bit to see pink and black hair I sigh its only my mother. Tayuya is in the corner by the window.
When my mother finally let me go I try to get up only to have her stop me.
"Sweet heart you lost a lot of blood you need to stay in bed ad rest." I look at her and see the worry on her face and realize something,
"Did my heart stop?"
My mother starts to cry and Tayuya looks away from my face well tears fall down her face. I look one to another.
"How many times?"
Tayuya is the one to talk, "three times you almost died three times. The doctors thought you were going to die because the bullet went through you and grazed some vital organs."
I let a tear fall from my face I was about to say something when my phone started to ring. I hate everything about you starts to play.
I sigh but smile when I realize its Sasuke's ringtone.
Before I answer I hear my mother's voice, "It's been going off since you got here. Is there anyone in your life Sakura?"
I smile and answer not caring that I feel weak and tired, "Hello…?"
I hear Sasuke's voice, "Thank god you answered the phone." I smile as he keeps talking, "I was wondering who the boy toy is?"
I smile and laugh at him even though it hurts, "I care about you too much to I hear a just have you as that status."
I hear a small chuckle, "I didn't know that you cared for me that much."
I hear a small sob, "So how are you Sakura?"
"Ok I guess they have me on a lot of pain killers. How did you know that I was here again?"
I hear him yell into the phone slightly, "I was the one who called the ambulance and had my brother drive around to find you so I can tell them where you were. When we found you I thought you were dead but Itachi said you still had a pulse so I ended up cursing at the emergency lady to have them hurry up. Itachi ruined a good coat to try to stop the bleeding."
I know that was supposed to be a joke to make me feel better for worrying them but it still pissed me off, "Shut up," great idea Sakura yell into the phone when you barely have enough strength to talk and stay awake.
My heart starts to go erotic for a second but it stops that and goes back to normal.
I look up to see Tayuya and my mother almost sweat drop my mother dropped back into her chair and Tayuya put her head on the glass.
"I'm in the hospital and I almost died last night. So can you just tell the guys to drop by after school?"
"FUCK NO YOU'RE IN THE HOSPITAL SO WE YOUR FRIENDS ARE GOING TO VISIT YOU, but since no one knows about me and you I'll have Itachi call them. Oh and him and the gang are already on their way there so don't' be afraid to say hi."
I laugh, "I will I guess you have to make the call. So bye."
I didn't mean for my voice to sound so sad but I couldn't help myself.
"Don't worry we'll be there in a few to see you, but man am I going to get yelled at for being there." I
laugh, "Yeah but please come."
Itachi and them appeared in the doorway of my hospital room not that far after I hung up on Sasuke.
I smile at them as they look real sad, "Hey guys."
I smile a weak smile knowing I look paler than I already did. Konan was the first to talk, "Oh god Sakura."
She ran over to me and her arms were right around me, "When Itachi sent that text to me I thought it was a joke but when I heard from your mom I just broke down we kept thinking we were going to lose you even though you are a fighter."
I smile at her as much as I can, "I'm more of a fighter than you think." I look up at Itachi, "Did you call my friends?"
He looks at me and snatches my phone, "I'm going to call them and their parents and have they brought them here."
I just nod and slip into sleep smiling, "Ok, wake me when they get here. Oh and don't forget to talk to Sasuke about everything."
I know Tayuya knows about me and Sasuke about how she was looking at me well I was talking on the phone and she was smiling not her evil you are in trouble but the smile what she gets when she looks at Kimimaro. That tells me she likes that me and Sasuke have found each other again. I told her when I was little before Sasuke's parents were killed that I wanted to be together with him like mommy and daddy wonder if she remembers that.
I walk up in a jolt when I hear Naruto's voice and I know that a nurse would come in and check on me.
Sasuke was in the open door and walked over to Naruto and smacked him in the head, "Idiot you scared her."
"No I didn't."
I sigh, "Naruto stop that please you did spook me."
Everyone looked in and saw me awake and ran in hugging me and I saw so many tears they must have told them the whole story well I was out cold.
Ino was the first of my friends to hug and talk to me, "Oh god when they told me what happened I thought my heart fall to my stomach I was so worried even though they said you were fine now. Well somewhat."
For the first time Ino was hit and who hit her no other than Tenten, "idiot you don't need to say that."
I looked up to see all my friends the boys looked said and the girls they were dating were hanging onto each other. Lee and Sai, Ino and Garra, Temari and Shikamaru, Hinata and Naruto, Tenten and Neji, Kiba, Kanakuro, Shino, Anko and Kakashi, Kyo and Hana, Choji, Haku and Zabuza, Suigiestu, Konohamaru, and Sasuke was just hanging out in the door way smiling over at me. Naruto looked from to him and pulled him out of the room.
I hear Naruto whisper to him, "Why are you hear?"
"To see that Sakura is alright dobe is that so wrong of me? God we use to get along so well we were the three musketeers."
I hear Naruto scuff at him, "Teme why would you care after her after all this time? Why let her think you didn't remember her? Why make her hurt so much? That's all she's been feeling when she thinks of you. It hurt her worse when you started to date her half-sister."
I sigh knowing Naruto is about to get more wordy and so is Sasuke, "Don't make me get out of this bed and knock heads together."
I see everyone else smile and someone whispered, "Just like old times huh."
They walk in shortly after and I see that Naruto has a slight bruise forming on his arm, "Sakura-chan."
I smile but it disappears when Lee starts to talk.
Tayuya is still in the room smiling at me and my friends. S
he looked like she was about to leave until she turned around, "why did you protect me this whole time I was a complete bitch?"
"You're family and that's what family do we protect each other from harm even if it means bringing harm to us even if the person is a bitch, ass, or whatever you would call them. Also I know he would beat you a lot worse than he was beating me so I took it. I protected you and in that I also protected my mother. So I will still protect you because we are family to no matter what end. In truth I hope we can be friends."
When I looked up everyone looked surprised that I said that Tayuya almost fell down and I heard a voice that ruined my mood of peace and happiness.
PyroNinja: He-he I left you with a cliffhanger
Sakura: who ruined my mood I'll kill them
PyroNinja: (Laughing but thinking of it)
