There You'll Be
It was like the world had stopped. Everything was moving in slow motion. She wasn't exactly sure what was happening. Everything had moved so fast, she had reacted without thinking. The only sound that she could hear was the loud beating of her heart beat. She was alive. She knew that much. For how long? She wasn't sure. Looking around her, she could see Ino who was being held back by Shikamaru's arm. Tears streamed down her face, her mouth was wide open as if she was yelling something.
The hammering in her chest continued. She as still alive. Her own vision was clouded by what she was certain were tears. She felt droplets of water fall on her. Looking up her jade eyes looked at the clouds that covered ahead. Such fitting weather for the day the shinobi of Leaf were having. How had she ended up in this position? She felt herself smiling as she remember. Her hearing started to come back and she could hear the dying down of birds chirping. That's not what it was. It was the chidori. It was the ending attack or what it should have been.
Sakura could finally hear what Ino had been screaming about. "No! No! Sakura! Sasuke you bastard!" Sakura coughed, blood splattered across the pale white chest of the man who stood in front of her. Her own blade was sticking in him. His whole hand was deep in her abdomen. She looked up to see blood red eyes staring down at her. Void of any emotion. She wasn't even sure if said man was able to feel any pain.
"Fuck you." sh bit out at the Uchiha. She closed her eyes and remembered that her love stood behind her. "Naruto-koi?" her voice sounded for foreign to herself. He stood behind her. His eyes filled with tears.
"Why did you do that? Sakura-chan!" Naruto cried out. Sakura smiled, the tears in her eyes fell freely.
"Because I need to." Sakura whispered. She looked back up at Sasuke. She eyes dark as she smiled at him. "Now. Kakashi-sensei." Sakura whispered. Sasuke's eyes widened for a fraction of an instant before the cold feel of metal touched his throat. Sasuke's body went limp first. His hand fell from Sakura's abdominal before he fell to the ground that was slowly beginning to collect water from the rain that was falling from sky. Sakura than looked at Kakashi who stood in front of him.
His sharingan eye was closed, a small tickle of blood fell from it. His head band forgotten. His silver hair was filled with dirt and blood. His mask was ripped in more than one area. Sakura smiled at him. "We did it." she whispered. her knees finally giving out from under her. She was caught before she hit the ground.
"Sakura? Sakura?" she looked up at the blonde haired boy who shook her body. Sakura's eyes opened so she could see him. His tears fell onto her face.
"Naruto." she smiled. "We did it. We can go home now." Nauto nodded as he held her close.
"We need a medic!" Naruto screamed. "Keep your eyes open. Stay will me Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelled. He looked around frantically. His eyes searching the group of shinobi looking for a medic nin. "Please hurry!"
Ino who had been held back through the fighting by Shikamaru quickly pushed past him. She didn't look much better than Kakashi did. She had scratches across her face and arms. "Hurry lay her down flat!" she tried to sound calm but her voice came out in a screech. Ino's tears were blocking her vision. Her arms shook. "Where are the other medics!" She voice was frantic. Her hands glowed green and she cut through Sakura's top and bindings.
"Why are you freaking out so bad?" Sakura asked.
"Just be quite." Ino whispered, her voice quivered she shook.
"Shhh. Sakura-chan." Naruto whispered. His voice was in the same position as Ino's. "Everything is going to be okay... Just breath. You'll be okay. I love you. I love you." Naruto whispered, as he placed his forehead against hers. He didn't know what to think. He didn't know what do to. One moment he was stuck staring straight at the final blow that should have killed him. And the next he was staring at the love of his life's back as he watched his best friend hand go straight threw her abdominal. He was terrified. He could already feel the nine-tails healing him.
He watched as Ino looked up her hands stopped glowing the green chakra. "I'm out." she whispered. "I don't have enough chakra." Ino cried. She looked at Ino. Horror written across her face. Naruto looked up at her. A look of being horrified crossed his face.
"No..." Naruto started at her horrified.
"Make room! Get the fuck out of my way!" Naruto and Ino looked up, as a group of shinobi moved out of the way. "Lets move!" Naruto's mouth grew into a large wide grin.
"Tsunade-baa-chan." He let out a chocked sob as the older woman made her way to them. She lowered onto her knees.
"I've got this Ino." she smiled. Ino let out a sigh of relief.
"Tsuande-sama."
