So I have decideded that the ending for this story makes me too sad. And that needs to change. So, right here, is the alternate ending. Please hold your applause =3 haha this is really more for me than the readers. I don't like my stories having sad endings =P so here I'm going to start with the end of chapter 10 (slightly changed to fit the new plot) and then the start of chapter 11. It's 12 at night, so idk if I'll type it all up right now. We'll see! My iPod makes this easy to do without my parents knowing I'm on here X)
End of Chapter {10}
"Can you take me home?" Cameron whispered, looking pale and fragile. "Can you take me back to the Leaf?"
Kakashi smiled, picking her up. "Sure," he whispered, crying as he smiled.
And he carried her all the way back.
Beginning of Chapter {11}
"Naruto, you should go home. You need to get some sleep." Kakashi watched his student closely, but Naruto didn't move a muscle. He had been sitting outside Cameron's surgery room for six days now - patiently waiting to hear how she is doing.
Kakashi let out a sigh. He turned to look down the hall as he heard footsteps coming towards them. Sasuke and Sakura were walking determinedly towards them, both carrying two take-out containers of ramen each.
"Hello sensei." Sakura said, holding one of the to-go cups out in front of him. "Would you like some?"
Kakashi gave her a small smile as he took it from her, along with two chopsticks. "Thanks you two," he said, taking a seat next to Naruto.
Sasuke placed a cup in front of Naruto, who made no sign of knowing that his favorite food was within reach. Sasuke sat down next to Sakura on the other side of the hallway. It was quiet, and everyone was watching Naruto. Finally, Sasuke broke the silence.
"Naruto, if you don't eat the ramen we got you, I will shove it down your throat."
Sakura rolled her eyes, then whispered "Be nicer, he's going through a lot right now." Sasuke merely started to eat, hoping Naruto would follow his lead. Sakura turned to face her friend. "Naruto, you need to eat. Cam wouldn't want you to do this to yourself." Naruto looked up at Sakura. They stared at each other for a moment. "Please Naruto. For Cameron."
Naruto closed his eyes. Slowly, he picked up the ramen and began to eat. The tension in the group lessened, and everyone relaxed. They had a bit of small talk over their ramen, but Naruto kept silent, peeking over to the door that Cameron was behind every few seconds. He finished the ramen, but refused to eat anything more.
Why should he be enjoying himself with the luxury of food while Cameron suffered?

So this isn't all of 11, but I'm just going to tack in the rest of it with chapter 12 when I upload that. But you really don't need to concern yourself with that I don't think... well anyway, I hope you enjoyed this! There will be more to come! Vote/comment
