A Twist in fate
Chapter four: The Visitor
Sakura ran up to Gaara's side, seems like she hasn't seen him in forever but the reality is she hasn't seen him since they were about six…and their 21 now.
She smiles softly at her old friend but his face was grim and dark, he face read of worry seeing how pale he has become.
She asks him cautiously, "Gaara? What's wrong…did something happen? Tell me why you came to me?"
He sighs unsure how to tell her, "I think I was poisoned, it's called Childes play…it's a deadly poison that spreads very slowly and a normal person would never detect it until it's too late…But sometimes I guess it's good to be a "monster" I was hit by a "few" poisoned needles."
Sakuras face went completely grim. She asks him hastily, "Who did this to you. Tell me what happened!"
Gaara reached up and wiped away the tears that had begun falling from her emerald green eyes. Gaara tried to comfort her, "Some bastards jumped me when I was going for a late night walk in the rain…they all ganged up on me I can't really say who was involved since I didn't get a look at them, my sister chased them off of me and my brother Konkuro carried me all the way here. I guess I was mumbling your name…"
Sakura regained her composure. She was unsure if she could save him, but she knew she couldn't just let him die.
Sakura looked at Kakashi and told him sternly, "Kakashi! Go get Tsunade! NOW! Go quickly I don't know how much time we have to work on this!"
He disappeared in a flash and in a matter of minutes he walked back through her door followed by Tsunade, the best Medic in all the ninja worlds around.
Sakura put Gaara to sleep as Tsunade walked into the room, Tsunade shooed Kakashi out of the room and into the living room.
They both start concentrating on using chakra to destroy as much of the poison as they can…after about five hours of fighting the poison Sakura started patching up the rest of his injuries while Tsunade continued to battle the poison. Sakura cleaned on the cuts on his face and neck, and then she put two IV's in his left arm.
Hours later Tsunade was finally finished cleaning out all the poison out of his body and blood stream.
Then Sakura followed Tsunade to the kitchen where she watched her start gathering random supplies to make a healing elixir. Then she put some kind of "medicine" from her pocket into the blender along with various fruits, berries and a few pieces of ice and a tiny bit of milk and then she walked over to the fridge and took out the sake and walked back to the blender…Sakura gave her a skeptical look as she opened up the sake then Tsunade put the lid on the blender and started drinking the sake, that was more like how Sakura knew her former Medic instructor.
After she was done Sakura walked back into the room where Gaara was just waking up. He woke up in a lot of pain, Sakura kissed him on the cheek and told him, "We got rid of all the Childs play….and we took care of the rest of your wounds as well."
Tsunade walked in and pinched his arm, and then smiled saying, "Looks like you're really awake kiddo…Sakura here took real good care of you."
Gaara smiles at Sakura and nodded at Tsunade, Kakashi walked in looking for Tsunade, "Hey…Sue, Dan's in the living room."
She hands the elixir to Sakura and runs through the house to the living room. All you can hear is her screaming, "DAN!" and something like a crashing noise as she yells, "I can pay for that! Maybe…"
