Chapter eight of Deidara and Sakura

"Sakura-chan, Sakura-chan, wake up." Naruto said as tears flowed down his eyes as he cradled Sakura in his arms. Sasuke stood behind him in shock and in horror. He didn't want to believe that she was dead. She just couldn't be!

"Naruto, let me see her." He said as he bent down next to them. He looked at her closely and notice that she was still slightly warm, if he act quickly then he might be able to save her.

"Naruto, run and get me a cup of water." He instructed. Naruto was not sure why he was asking him for such a thing considering the situation, but he knew better then to question him and did as he was told. While he was gone, Sasuke placed Sakura on the floor facing up. He then tilted her head back and pulled out his bag and took a small bottle from it.

After a few seconds Naruto returned with the water and gave it to Sasuke. He then opened the bottle and took out a small blue pill and gave it to Sakura and gave her the water. He then check her thort and notice that it was shalldowed.

"Now we wait and pray that this is enough." Sasuke said as he watched Sakura intently. Naruto sat down next to him and also watch Sakura. His eyes then traveled to Sasuke.

"Hey Sasuke, what kind of pill did you give her?"

"A reveal pill."

"What?"

"It's a pill that solders take in the battlefield where medics can't reach them. They say that it has the power to bring back even the dead."

"No way! Where on earth did you get them from?" Naruto asked with a look of shock.

Sasuke then looked away for a belf moment before giving Naruto his answer. " I brororowed them from Tsunade-sama…when, she wasn't looking."

"You stole it, is more like!" Naruto said as he ponted an accusing finger at him.

"Shut up! You should be grateful that I was even able to get them!" Sasuke said in his defense.

Naruto was going to say something more when both him and Sasuke heard something. They both brought their attention to Sakura who was gasping for air. She coughed and took in her first deep breath signling that she was alive. Both Sasuke and Naruto give looks of joy and relief to see her alive again.

"Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan!" Naruto said as tears flow down from his eyes. After a few moments Sakura slowly begain to open her eyes. She looked at Sasuke frist and then at Naruto.

"Sasuke-nee-chan…Naruto" She said in a raspy voice as she tried to get up but intestly stopped.

"Don't move, your inured." Sasuke said as he motioned for her to lie back down.

"Come on, Sasuke, she can't lay here, the floor is cold. Come on Sakura-chan, lets go find you a bed to rest on." Naruto said as he picked her up and went to find a bed to place her on.

Sasuke stayed behind and fully begain to notice the situation that she was in before their arrival.

'There's blood stains everywhere and these katanas and kunais are stained in blood…someone, torchured her…but when we fround her, she was covered in banages…could it be whoever did this to her, had a change of heart??…no way!!'

"Hey Sasuke! I found a bed for her!" Naruto called out a minute later thus pulling Sasuke momentarly away from his thoughts. He turned his head in the direction of Naruto's voice and called out his reply.

"Coming." He answered as he stood up, turning from the scene to walk towards the room where Sakura and Naruto were in. When he reached the room, Sakura was lying down on the bed, her head turning to look at him as he walked into the room. For a moment he was silent as he took a good look at her….the scene that he saw fresh in his mind. His eyes narrowed slightly as he drifted off into his own thoughts.

"What are you thinking about Sasuke?" Naruto asked out of curiousity as he looked at his best friend with concern.

For the second time Sasuke was brought out of his thoughts by the sound of Naruto's voice. He looked at him for a moment and then turned to look at Sakura, whome he kept his focus on for quite awhile. "Sakura," He begain in a serious tone, "Can you remember who attacked you?"

Sakura gave him a blank look and for a while didn't say a word. Her face scrunched together in thought as she tried to remember but much to her dislike….she couldn't remember a thing…

"I….I can't remember." She whispered as a frown came across her face. "The last thing I honestly remember was being with Naruto under the cherry blossom tree…we were talking and then we kissed…" A slight blush crept up her cheeks at the thought of that, Naruto blushed as well and Sasuke….was inwardly happy that Naruto finally made his move, outwardly just gave him his usual blank look. "Then we got into an argument and….I did something I shouldn't have….and he left." She then turned to look at Naruto…a very sad look on her face. "Naruto…I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that to you."

"No…it's my fault as well. Maybe I deserved it. But don't worry about that now, it's all buried in the past. To me seeing you alive and getting better…means so much to me…" Once again tears started to swell up in his eyes and he took her in his arms and hugged her gently. "I don't know what I would have done if I lost you….espcially since we parted on bad terms. I never want to experience that pain ever again." He whispered softly.

Sakura was some what startled by the sudden hug…but gladly accepted it regardless. With what little strength she was getting back, she raised up her arms and wrapped them gently around Naruto who cried even harder upon that touch. For a few moments there were like that until Sasuke desided that the scene in front of him had gone on for long enough.

"Hey." He said in a slightly firm voice thus gaining the attentions of both Sakura and Naruto. Once having their attention, he continued. "We're going to camp out here for awhile until Sakura regains her strength. It would be pointless for us to continue if our only Med Nin is injured. With that said, we will also take turns guarding her. If the person who attacked her had a change of heart to repent….who's to say that he won't change his mind and come back to make sure that she's really dead? I won't take any chances on that happening. Upon arriving back to Konoha, we will report our findings for our intinal mission and we will report this incident with Sakrua as well."

Both Naruto and Sakura nodded there heads in agreement. Just then, a soft rummbling sound was heard. Both Sasuke and Naruto looked at Sakura with a raised eyebrow and in turn Sakura blushed as she looked down...rubbing her belly. "Hehe...is there anything good to eat around here? It feels as if I hadn't eatten for days!" She asked softly as she let out a soft laugh.

Naruto and Sasuke smiled warmly. Really...it was a miracle to see her alive again. But little did they know that this was only the begining...and what would lie ahead for all three of them would test them in ways they were yet to imagine...

As Deidara and Tobi continued to run in the opposite direction, Deidara suddenly stopped...landing on the next tree brench in front of him. Shortly behind him, Tobi also stopped...giving his parter a curious look.

"Sempai?" He asked in a questioning tone as he tilted his head to the side looking at him.

For a moment Deidara stood still not saying a word. The silence around them was thick and Tobi who wasn't accustom for staying quite long could no longer take the silence. "Sempai wha-" He begain but was quickly cut off by Deidara.

"Be quite." He said in a low and firm tone not looking at him.

Tobi as confused as he was really had no choice in the matter but to keep his mouth shut as he was told. A minute or so passed by. With his back facing him...Tobi couldn't tell what his partner was thinking about or why he stopped in the first place...was it something that only he could see ahead of them? Just then, Tobi heard a sound he'd though he'd never heard in a million years, especially from the man standing in front of him.

Though it only lasted less then a second...

Tobi's eyebrows scrunched together...it was then he felt the same chakura that Deidara must have felt. So...that was the reason he had stopped? As Tobi continued to look at him, he suddenly started to move again...in the same direction they were going. Without a word, he followed behind...only once looking back in the direction in which they came from. One thought crossing his mind...
