Changing Fates

Rescue

*Udyan's pov*

We got to Sunagakure only to find out Kankurō was poisoned. Sakura and I worked hard to cure him. Naruko stood next to Temari and calmly put her hands on Kankurō's head.

"I'll keep him stabilized for you." Naruko says calmly. We nod and continue to heal him.

-time skip-

"That's the last of it. He should be out of danger now." Sakura says. I wipe my brow and sigh. I see Temari lean against the wall and sigh.

"Thank you." She mutters lowly. I nod and Naruko stands there watching Kankurō.

"Go make that cure." She says simply. Sakura and I both nod.

"Naruko, is he okay?" Naruto asks walking in.

*Naruko's pov*

"He will be fine." I say looking  away from Kankurō. He nods.

"Can we talk?" He asks pulling on my arm. I nod, we're the only ones in here besides Kankurō who can't move and is asleep.

"What is it Naruto?" I asked lightly sitting near Kankurō's bed.

"Why did you leave? What's going on that you can't stay with me? Why did you shut yourself off to me? Do you know how much I've missed you?" Naruto starts to cry and my heart shatters.

"I'm sorry Naruto. I know no matter what I say I'll never be able to apologize enough." I choke on some sobs. "I've missed you all this time, but with whatever is about to happen I had to leave." I hug him crying. "I love you big brother, I always will no matter what happens." I sob even more. He wraps his arms around me and sobs too.

"I love you too sis." He says in my ear.

-time skip-

"We did it!" Sakura yells coming in with the cure. "Here, drink this." She puts the medicine to his mouth and makes him drink it.

"That should do it." Udyan says calmly leaning against me. Temari sighs a breath of relief.

"Hey Kankurō." I say lightly to him. He looks at me and sighs.

"You're here." He says slightly annoyed but coughs.

"Take it easy idiot. You're still not fully healed." I scold. "Now, why wouldn't I come? You guys are some of my favorite people after all." I say smiling lightly.

"It was Deidara and Sasori who took Gaara. Naruko, you guys need to get him back." Kankurō says looking away from me. I giggle at him.

"Don't worry Kankurō. We'll bring him back." I say putting a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm going with you." Temari states.

"No." Sakura says strictly. "You need to stay here."

"I'll go." An elderly lady says walking in. "I'm Lady Chiyo, I'm Sasori's grandmother."

"Udyan, Sai stay here and watch over Kankurō." Kakashi-Sensei says demandingly.

"Alright." They say.

"Naruko, you too." Kakashi-Sensei says glancing at me. I can tell he doesn't trust me.

"Not happening Sensei. If I have to I'll go myself and save him. I'm stronger then all of you right now, don't test me." I say glaring. "I made a promise to Gaara that I'd come and save him. That's what I'm going to do."

"She's not a threat Sensei!" Sakura yells.

"It's okay Sakura. Kakashi just doesn't know how to trust me after so long. Look, I'm the current Oracle, well in training. I have the Sharingan, mangekyou and Eternal, I also have Byakugan. I will be of more help with you then if I were to stay here." I state simply.
