It didn't take long for us to get back to Konoha. And when we did we I ran straight to Sasuke's hospital room. I swung the door open and hopped onto the empty bed. Tsunade, Shizune, and Jiraiya came in shortly after. Tsunade summoned some chakra and pressed it against Sasuke's forehead. I walked up and waited for my friend to open his eyes. Tsunade stopped and yawned.
"All finished." she said, exiting the room. I shouted after her as she left.
"Hey! Remember! You need to heal Kakashi-sensei too!"
"yeah, yeah... freaking brat." I heard.
"I HEARD THAT!" I shouted. Then, Sasuke groaned. I looked over.
"Sasuke? Yo! Are you awake!? Sakura! Get in here!" I smiled. Sakura entered.
"What's up Naruko?" She asked, tossing me an apple.
"Sasuke's waking up!" I told her, she pushed in next to me.
"Really!?"
Sasuke's POV-
I woke up to screaming. What a horrible dream I had just had. But, when I did wake up, I saw a smiling Naruko at my bed side. Next to her, was Sakura, who immediately threw herself on me when I sat up. She started crying about something. I looked back at Naruko, I missed her to be honest. She took a big bite out of her apple and pounded her fist into mine. She smiled.
"Bout' time!" She said, finishing off the apple. Then, she headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" I asked, my voice was horse and under used... how attractive. I cleared my throat. Naruko laughed. I miss that laugh.
"To tell everyone!" She smiled. "And you two are having a moment!" She said slyly before running out of the way of my glare.
Sakura sat and peeled an apple for me. People came in and out. Obviously sent by Naruko, who hadn't come back yet. Lee said something about Kakashi. She's probably checking up on him. I wanted to see her. I finally woke up and all she did was say hi and leave. Sakura handed me the apples. I set them on the table near my bed. Sakura gave me a look.
"What?" I asked.
"What's wrong?" She asked. I looked away from her.
"Nothing." I lied.
"I can go get Naruko, I thin she might be at the ramen shop with Neji. They've actually become pretty good friends." Sakura said. My face heated up with anger. "Gotcha!" Sakura giggled, poking my back. I swatted her hand away and glared.
"Shut up." I muttered again. Sakura got up.
"I'll get Naruko." she smiled. Then, she stopped at the door.
"What?" I asked.
"She really does care about you. Naruko does." She smiled as she turned around. I was blushing. She giggled.
"She fought a Sannin for you, you know." Sakura pointed out, that I didn't know.
"Naruko did?" I said. Sakura nodded.
"Two of them! She told me all about it! Ask. Her. Out." Sakura said before slipping out the room.
Naruko came in about an hour later. She smiled.
"Sorry! I just had to finish my ramen!" She plopped into a chair. "So full!" She stretched. Yep, this was my Naruko. Then she looked at me. "So, what's up?" she said. I sat up more.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Sakura said you wanted to ask me something." She shrugged, pulling an apple from the basket near my bed. I let out a yell of curses and punched a wall... on the inside. HOW DARE SHE! Sakura... damn her.
"Yeah, anything happen while I was gone?" I asked. Naruko thought.
"I learned a new technique!" She said. I smirked at her.
"Is that so?" I said, leaning back. I had already learned the Chidori. What could have her so excited?
"Yeah! The Rasengan!" She cheered. I heard of that before. I chuckled.
"You'll have to show me later." I told her. She nodded.
"Sure!" she smiled.
Naruko and I talked until it was dark. The nurse came in.
"Visiting hours are over. Are you going?" She asked Naruko. Naruko yawned.
"Nah, I'll stay the night, I'm really tired." Naruko yawned. The nurse nodded and brought in a pillow and blanket. Naruko settled down on the other bed. The nurse left after a quick good night.
"How long have I been out." I asked for the first time. Naruko shrugged.
"About a week." she yawned. "But I wouldn't worry!" She smiled. "We still have about two months until the exam!" I nodded as she threw her sweater on the end of her bed. Then, the room was filled with silence.
Naruko started snoring softly.
"Naruko?" I said, no answer. "Are you awake?" I tried again. No answer. I sighed. I sat up and looked over at her. I noticed a bandage sticking out from the bottom of her shirt. It surround her whole stomach. Was she hurt? What happened? I pulled the blanket over her. She grabbed it and smiled softly before sighing. I put her forehead protector on the desk next to her bed. Naruko rolled over and yawned. I went back to my bed and smirked. I took another looked at my Naruko before closing my eyes.
That's right MY Naruko. It makes me mad that she became better friends with Neji. At least she'll want to hang out with me more now that I'm awake. Right?
