Nichiro's Story

Battle at the hospital

Sakura's P.O.V

       I head to the hospital and see that Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi sensei are on the roof of the hospital. I approach Sasuke slowly feeling my cheeks heat up as I get closer to him. He stands there watching Naruto pestering Kakashi sensei about teaching him the chidori.

"That's not fair Kakashi sensei you taught Sasuke a new move I wanna learn it to", Naruto yells.

"Ok ok Naruto stretch out your hand like this", Kakashi says to him demonstrating with his own hand. I stop paying attention to them as I stand side by side with Sasuke as he continues to stare at Naruto.

"Um...Sasuke", I start feeling my cheeks heat up more.

"Yeah", he says.

"Thanks for saving me before", I tell him.

"He didn't save you", I hear someone say. I turn to see Nichiro coming towards us.

"What do you mean", I ask "How do you know".

"Naruto saved you not me and Nichiro knows because Naruto told her what happened", Sasuke says. I look at Naruto staring before whispering to myself.

"Naruto saved me".

"Yes he did", Nichiro says "You know Sakura you shouldn't make assumptions that Sasuke saved you all the time".

"What!", I exclaim at her.

"You do that a lot but Sakura, Sasuke isn't always gonna be the one to save you", Nichiro says to me "Naruto may be a knucklehead at times but he protects the people he cares about no matter what and you are someone he cares about so don't think he won't save you".

I look at Nichiro one last time before putting my attention back to Naruto still trying to learn the chidori.

I turn worried to Sasuke as he starts to clutch his neck in pain.

"Sasuke are you alright what's wrong", I ask him worriedly.

"It's nothing just a little pain that's all", He says.

--------------------------------

    I head to the hospital to visit Sasuke. I'm really worried about him. I hope he's not in too much pain.

I go there and bring Rock Lee a flower before heading to Sasuke's room which is room 252. I walk in and see him looking out the window not caring that I just walked in like he already knew it was me.

"Hey Sasuke", I say. He answers me with silence but I just dismiss it and continue talking to him.

"Are you feeling any pain right now?", I ask him and again answered by silence. I take a seat. He actually replies to this but his reply has nothing to do with what I asked him.

"Where is Naruto?". He continues to stare out the window not even acknowledging my presence. I reach over and open a pack of apples.

"Like I know that knucklehead is not always in one place", I say putting sticks in the apples so I can feed him. I take one of the apples and reach up towards Sasuke.

"Here", I say. Just then the same knucklehead we were talking about comes in with that childish happy smile of his.

"Nar-", I start before getting cut off.

"Naruto let's fight right now to see who is stronger", Sasuke says looking over at Naruto as I look up at him in surprise. I look over at Naruto seeing that the childish smile he had just a second ago is now gone replaced with a very serious expression as he nods.

As Sasuke starts to get up I try to stop him but just fall and drop all the apples in the process.

"You guys",I say only to see them shut the door behind them completely ignoring me. I get up and run to the door hoping to catch them only to find them no where in sight.

I run around the hospital searching for them hoping to find them and stop them. I check rooms, closets, ledges, balconies, outside the windows. I can't find them anywhere and I have been searching for them for almost 10 minutes now where haven't I checked yet. I sit there thinking waisting even more time before half yelling.

"The roof!". I head to the roof and find Naruto and Sasuke coming at each other Naruto with the rasengan. Sasuke with the chidori. I stand there staring as they get closer to each other not knowing what to do before running as fast as I can to stop them.

Before I can even get close to them Kakashi sensei comes and stops them making them hit something else with the justu both of them have conjured up.

I stand there tears running down my face at what they just tried to do. Why?
