RECAP: Booyah
Sakura stayed a few more hours at the hospital. After that she left. Before she left the hospital she checked in on Naruto. He was playing with Gaara's hair and watching him sleep. She figured she should talk to him, Kankuro was already put back in his room so it had to be her.
"You alright Naruto?"
"Just fine."
"Wanna go get dinner?"
"Not hungry."
"...Any idea when he'll wake up?"
"Three days ago Tsunade said anywhere from an hour to a few days. A few means three so soon."
"...Naruto don't get your hopes up sometimes it take people longer, don't get worried if it takes a few more days."
"I know, I know. I really hope it doesn't though."
"So you sleeping here again?"
"Yeah. You?"
"I'm going to see my baby. You should get out of here too."
"And go home to what? You have Naru. Without Gaara my apartment is just a reminder of what my life was before Gaara. I don't want to see that again."
"Well, you know where the shower is and you know where the cafeteria is. Please use both."
"Ha, I will. Thanks Sakura."
"Night Naruto."
"Night."
Sakura walked away and back home. It was pretty late once she got there. She'd stayed with Sasuke too long. She walked in and Kiba wasn't on the couch. Worried that Naru was alone she walked in to view of her and Sasuke's room. Kiba was holding Naru. He was talking to her in a baby voice and rocking her back and forth. Naru was smiling and laughing and so was he. He still hadn't seen Sakura so she kept watching and leaned against the doorframe. He lifted her over his head spun around. Naru was giggling and so was Kiba. During his full rotation was when he saw Sakura. He put Naru back in her crib and smiled at her before he turned to look at Sakura.
"I was...just going to bed..."
"Yeah, that's what it looked like."
"She started crying and then she wouldn't go back to sleep. What was I supposed to do?"
"You did great."
"Mind not telling anybody that I'm basically a girl?"
"You think this is embarrassing?"
"It's not not embarrassing."
"Ha, OK fine."
"...Sorry I kissed you earliers."
"Apology accepted."
Kiba smiled and she smiled back.
"OK, I'm going to bed then."
"OK."
"So where are you sleeping?"
"Oh, yeah..."
"You can sleep on the couch with me again."
"Well actually you know it's only 9. You could probably go home."
"Oh...I...OK."
"Well I guess you don't have to leave."
"Um...no that's...I'll get out of your hair."
Sakura started to feel bad after seeing how upset he looked.
"Actually Kiba, I'm leaving pretty early so you should stay to watch Naru tomorrow."
"OK, I'll go get the couch set up. You sleeping out there too?"
"No, I think I'll sleep in here tonight."
"Oh...OK."
Kiba got on the couch and Sakura got on her side of the bed and she yelled out to him goodnight. He was just enjoying staying with Sakura as long as he could.
THE NEXT MORNING
It was very early the next morning when Gaara woke up. He had the worst headache he'd ever hads. He saw that Naruto was listening to their song asleep on his lap. He turned off the music and stroked his hair while he slept. Naruto was out cold.
MEANWHILE
Sakura was waking up. She needed to feed Naru and get back to the hospital. She started to get up but Kiba's arm was still around her. She figured if she got up fast enough she wouldn't wake him up. She readied herself and sprung up as fast as possible and sure enough he was still asleep. She went to feed Naru, luckily she wasn't crying yet so that didn't wake Kiba up either. Sakura was in the middle of feeding when Kiba woke up. A little let down that Sakura wasn't there he went to get Naru. Sakura was just pulling her shirt back up from feeding Naru. Kiba blushed.
"Kiba! You are so lucky you weren't like 5 seconds earlier."
"Not sure if you would call that luck..."
"OK well I'm going to the hospital."
"Aren't you gonna eat?"
"...Yeah OK."
Kiba made her some breakfast and watched her eat. Although it made Sakura a little uncomfortable she dealt with it. Kiba was in heaven. He cleaned her plate off and she went to get dressed.
"OK I'm going Kiba."
Kiba got up and opened the door for her.
"I think I'll come down there today too."
"Uh...OK."
"Bye."
Sakura walked to the hospital. She went in and put her stuff down by Sasuke's bed. She talked to him some more.
"OK Sasuke, I've yet to get a sign. Maybe it's not your fault, you might not be able to hear me or maybe you can't give me a sign. I'm probably being selfish. So take your time. I'll wait."
