1zara-uchiha1 and I don't own the Naruto cast or anything else you might recognize. 1zara-uchiha1 owns Laura and I own Kahlan. Together we own the plot.
Chapter 108
Note: Your heart skips a beat for only one person.
~Laura's POV
Everyone really needs to run I mean really… DO NOT WALK WHEN SOMEONE IS DYING!
"Sassuukeeee~" I whine loudly while walking backwards at a fast pace to face him, he gives me a blank look as I bring my hands up a little to help with my puppy eyes, "can we run there pleaswse, pretty pleaswse," I whine to tug on the unknown heartstrings of his; Sasuke only gives me a blank look before scooping me up in one movement before nodding to his brother as I cling on for safety as he starts sprinting off in a direction I do not know.
"Keep your head down," he says as he jumps onto a branch of a tree as I try my best to keep my head down as he continues to jump from branch to branch like a ninja. I soon see what he means by keep my head down as I see many traps above our heads, all time of bombs and wires. I try my best to stay as small as I can as he soon gets out of the forest and drops down to the floor, I look up to see the back entry of a huge hospital which Sasuke walks into like he… owns it.
"What are we looking for," Sasuke questions as I follow after him through the collapsing hospital, many bits are collapsing inwards and some are collapsing outwards.
"A IV line, some needles and an IV stand I think," I shrug with a nod, I know this stuff from the IV show Scrubs, "I'll know what we need when I see it," I say with a smile as he eyes me for a second before taking a sharp right and opening a room where all the supplies are.
I glance round the room and quickly jog over to the IV lines, two stands, some bags of nothing which are probably for liquids, most likely blood, and some wires that you use to make sure you don't overload it all. It good in a sense since I've only used this IV thing once when I broke my arm by getting hit by a car… yes… people are horrible drivers in London but yeah… I was about fifteen when I got hit so I'm fine now.
I watch as Sasuke walks over to it all and pulls out a scroll which is white with blue lining before placing it on the floor, puts the large stand and wire-y stuff on it before making it go 'poof' into the scroll. I nod my head with a tiny smile as he picks up the scroll before walking out of the room, picking up some bags of liquid, bags of plants and boxes of bandages for some strange reason, maybe he needs them?
"You guys have the stuff?" Kahlan calls from the exit of the hospital as I nod and sprint over to her, dragging my Uchiha with me who doesn't seem to neither mind nor care.
"Yes," I say while waving the scroll slightly as Sasuke has his hands full of boxes and the bags which I do not know what they contain. "Let's go quickly," I say while jumping my chakra to my feet and jumping up onto the tree branch unsteadily before steadying myself on the thin branch.
"The trick is to land on a thick branch and to push your chakra off of the branch after you stick to it for a second," Itachi calls up to the branch as I nod my head and kick off of the branch and unsteadily jumping onto the next one, it takes me a few minutes to get the chakra right and the landing another couple of minutes but I soon get the gist of it.
I soon come across the trap covered area and carefully land and jump with caution till I get out of the area and start sprinting home, pushing chakra as I do it which only seems to wear myself out more.
By the time I get to the house, I'm breathing heavily and my side hurts a lot, a lot-lot-LOT!
I lean against the door for a second only for it to be opened and I fall flat onto the floor, my nose hitting the floor first.
"Owwwieeeee!" I whine while sitting up from the floor and painfully rub my nose; that really-REALLY hurt! I slowly look up and see Sasori at the door, his arms on his hips while giving me an unimpressed look. "Do not sass me Sasori; I tree ran here for the first time," I say with a small huff and puff as he shrugs his shoulders and walks inside, I quickly follow after him even if my lungs are killing me. I give Konan a smile as I see her bandaging herself up in the parlour but what really hurts my heart… is Deidara lying on one of the parlour sofas; he looks really-really-super pale.
I rub my eyes a little as Sasori stands beside a chair and mentions me to sit in it as I pass him the scroll which he opens as soon as he gets it.
"This does look like the Intravenous therapy or the 'drip' in the text book," he says while picking up one of the needles which is attached to a IV bag before turning to me and pulls my dress shirt sleeve up, causing me to tremble a little at the huge giant needle in his hands… needle… this brings back memories when he has the needle with the purple stuff in it. "This isn't going to hurt at all," he says as I eye the needle carefully before nodding my head a little, putting my trust in Sasori as I clench my eyes shut only to feel a very painful stab into my vein!
"Ouch! You said it wasn't going to hurt!" I yell at him as he puts the needle in a little more before rubbing my skin carefully with some wool before taping the needle onto my arm.
"I lied," he says without an emotion as I use my free hand to rub my eyes, tears forming in them again. "for future information… what blood type are you," Sasori asks as I put my other hand down and watch Sasori as he holds my hand, making my IV-ed hand clench and unclench slowly as I feel a little dizzy.
"Negative AB," I say while putting my face into my other hand, feeling a little dizzy all of a sudden. I get the blood type from my parents; my Mum is also negative AB while my dad is negative AO, no idea what my siblings are… I think my brother is positive AO like my dad and I also think that my sister, Angela is negative A meaning two As so it's positive AA… I know my blood type from when I got hit by the car; my mum gave her blood to me since we have the same blood type.
"A good match for Deidara then," he says with a nod before slowly removing the needle from my arm before putting a piece of wool on the spot where the needle was before taping that wool onto my arm, "stay seated while your body adjusts to the loss of blood," he says while doing some crazy stuff with the IV wire before taking the IV stand with him over to the sofa which is opposite me. I watch him replace the needle in the IV before slowly placing it into Deidara's wrist like he did with me but with… in the middle of my arm.
I rub my eyes a little as Sasori checks Deidara's wrist and neck before nodding.
"His pulse is slowly getting stronger," he says before taping the IV to his wrist and putting his arm back into the most comfortable position for Dei. I smile softly as I see Itachi, Sasuke and Kahlan walk through the Parlour door slightly out of breath.
"We're back," Kahlan says with a small smile before sitting down and I watch as Sasori picks up the other IV stand before walking over to Kahlan, "I'm ready," she says with a tiny smile before taking off her coat and sitting back down, "I've donated blood before," she says while positioning her arm the way Sasori put mine as he nods and slowly pricks the needle into her vein which makes me look back to Deidara, his colour is slowly coming back and he doesn't look very pale right now… which is very good.
I slowly look up as I see Konan with a glass of orange juice with a small smile; she looks fine now though Konan has some bruising all over her arm and a small bruise over her right eye.
"Thank you," I say while slowly taking the cup, my head feeling a little light headed as I take the cup and slowly drink the juice before giving it back to her. "Are you feeling okay Konan?" I ask as she blinks her eyes for a second before nodding her head softly.
"I'm fine; this is nothing to what has happened in the past," she says with a smile before saying something that has been bugging me since she got back with Deidara.
"Leader… Pein and Kakuzu aren't coming back… are they," I ask while feeling my eyes tear up a bit as her eyes shadow over a little before nodding her head softly, her eyes a little watery before blinking them once and they seem normal again. I give her a small smile before giving her a quick hug which she returns automatically.
She soon pulls away while giving a small sad smile before walking off and over to the kitchen, opening the door before widely before going off into it.
With a deep breath, I slowly steady myself off of my chair before walking to the sofa and slowly sitting down beside it. I rub my eyes a little as tears start to water in my eyes as I smile a tiny bit, Deidara seems to be getting a lot of colour back into him and I can see him steadily breathing, meaning he is getting better.
I look up as I hear Sasori walk beside me and remove the empty bag from the IV line thingy before doing some weird stuff… before putting another bag of blood into the line; I watch the line as the blood flows down the tube and to Deidara's wrist… I have no idea how long the bag has been empty.
"Once this bag is empty, I'll check on him," Sasori says before sitting down beside me, slowly turning to face me as I slowly do the same.
"What are you doing," Kahlan questions while watching as Sasori watching me for a second before talking.
"Your chakra nature is water, am I correct," he asks as I slowly nod my head, where is this going? "You have a good chance of learning medical Ninjutsu; I'll teach you this one, Mystical Palm Technique," he says while showing me his hand as it glows blue for a split second before disappearing.
"Isn't Mystical Palm Technique the one that heals your wounds," I ask which makes me get stared at before I add, "Sakura used it on Kahlan before," I add as he nods his head before holding my hand up before letting it go.
I see Kahlan nod as well, probably remembering the jutsu, "I remember," she says as I nod as well, see I am not lying! Meanie!
"All you need to do it level your chakra right to speed up the cell's natural healing process but the amount of chakra depends on how dire the wound is," he says before pulling out a kunai and pricks my finger causing me to wince at the burning feeling.
"Send a small amount of Chakra into your prick, and remember the feeling of the healing, once you remember that feeling you should be able to heal any wound since Kisame had trained you well in chakra control.
I nod slowly and flow a small amount of charka to my other finger before letting it hover above the prick which bleeds and flows slowly down my finger.
"More chakra," he says as I ever so slowly add chakra till I get a funny feeling in my chakra and in my cut, I watch as the cut slowly heals before my eyes as I blink my eyes… that was a weird feeling in my chakra and my cut. "Do you remember that feeling," he asks as I nod my head slowly before he stands up and pulls up Deidara's shirt to his chest, making my face burn up and I avert my eyes away, I'm blushing I can feel it. "Oi don't look away," he says as I close my eyes a little while looking back, there is a huge gash on Deidara's side where it looks like something zapped him… maybe a chakra weapon or something. "Heal this wound, it will speed up his healing," Sasori says like it's very easy as I nod slowly and place my hand slowly onto his side, flinching while doing so.
I take a very deep breath before closing my eyes and remembering the weird warm feeling I got when my chakra healed the small prick on my finger. It takes me a second to gather the chakra needed and I slowly hover my hand over the wound with chakra covering my hand, it takes me a few moments to build up the chakra to the right level till the warm feeling comes again and I keep it at that level while opening one hand.
I stop slowly as the wound closes up and I feel so tired now, my chakra feels like it's almost all gone now.
"That's good," he says as he pulls Deidara's shirt back down as I stare at Deidara for a couple of minutes, his colour is finally, mostly back and I notice he has a split lower lip and a bruise appearing to the side of his right eye as well as a small cut where the bruise is coming from.
"Laura you should take another nap," Kahlan says with a small smile from the sofa opposite me, she has a cup of juice while Itachi is standing beside her, holding her shoulder to keep her steady as she looks a tiny bit pale, probably from the blood loss as well.
"I… will," I say slowly while slowly grabbing Deidara's un-IV-ed hand which is limp, in his sleep. I lean my head on his arm but soon I am picked up by Sasuke which causes me to struggle a little in protest, "Nuuu," I say sternly in protest while giving Sasuke puppy eyes which seem to work since he sighs and puts me down on the spare part of the sofa, it's quite big since I can lie down and spread out on it.
I yawn a little while using Deidara's shoulder as a small, slightly comfortable pillow while holding onto his un-IV-ed hand with both of mine, bringing it up to my chest as I hold his hand near my heart, Deidara you are not leaving me now… no… you promised you wouldn't leave me… you promised me you wouldn't… you promised.
My mind soon clouds over with sleep as I slowly close my eyes.
"Night Laura," I hear Kahlan call as I yawn a little and murmur a night, giving Deidara's hand a small squeeze before curling up a bit into him.
But what really makes me blush right now… is his hand slowly closing round my smaller ones. My heart starts to speed up as I hear it in my ears and my face heats up a bit more. Pushing it all to the side, I let my sleep take over, hearing Sasori say something about 'letting them sleep' before footsteps leave the room, probably Sasori's'. With one last yawn, I finally drift off to sleep, cradling Deidara's hand to my heart as I slowly drift off again.
