Another Kankuro Love Story

Chapter 44

~Kankuro's POV~

I watched Akemi stop breathing. I grabbed her sisters hands and made her push on the stab wound then started CPR. I was breathing hard after a few minutes and my body was wanting to quit but I wasn't going to let that happen. Tears were blurring my vision and I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Kankuro enough." I heard my sister say to me but I couldn't just let her go. I just got her back and I wasn't going to loose her. 

"Kankuro I said enough you can't do anything for her." Temari said stopping my hands. "No! I am not giving up! I can't loose her!" I yelled pulling her limp body to mine in a hug. I sat for a second and then my mind realized and just broke. Everything I felt since she left this last time and everything in this moment just became too much. I felt her pulled out of my grip and when I tried to get her back Naruto grabbed on of my arms and Gaara grabbed the other one. I sank to me knees as they held onto me. I watched as Sakura addressed the situation and then hung her head. 

I cried so hard I felt as if I had put my head in water. "You can't just let her die!" I told her trying to get loose but they just held tighter onto me. I felt a soft hand on my shoulder and looked up Tsunade the hokage was looking down at me. I just looked back at Akemi's body. She moved to look and then did what she did best she healed. The next few moments went by quickly. Tsunade declared she got a pulse but it was really weak. I went completely numb with happiness my whole body went limp and I fell on my butt in the dirt. They quickly got her on a stretcher and to the hospital where they immediately took her into surgery. 

I walked behind and stopped as I seen her sister walking with Temari. I caught up to them. "This is your fault. I hope you're happy with yourself and I hope it was worth it. Be happy that she is alive because if she wasn't there is no telling what I would have done to you." I watched as her face fell and the mask dropped from her face and all of the pain washed over her and at that moment I seen what I saw in Akemi all these years. She was just a girl who was trying to find her place in this world just like Akemi it was not her fault she was born into the life she was. She started crying as every emotion she kept in came out. I moved to quickly and my sister tried to stop me for fear I was going to hurt this poor girl.

I wrapped my arms around her pulling her into a hug. She stiffened but then relaxed and let herself be comforted. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen." She said to me. I lightly rubbed the back of her head. "Shh...it's fine I know you were doing what you thought was right and Akemi made her choice to save you from that choice. It is not your fault that you were forced to make a decisions most adults would struggle with." I told her and she held on tighter. When she was done crying she pulled away from me and looked around. "I think they left us." She said laughing a little. "Yeah they probably got over all of the drama." I told

She sniffled and nodded to me. "I'm gonna go. I need to leave before anything else happens." She said and I looked at her confused. "No stay be here when she wakes up." I pleaded but she shook her head. "I can't. I don't think I can be that strong plus in a few hours I will forget her and all of this so just let me go please. I can't be around her because when I look at her I see how much I have lost . I just wanna leave it's probably for the best." She said. I nodded and hugged her once more then let her go as she walked away. 

Once she was gone I quickly rushed to the hospital to be by her side until she wakes up. 

~little time skip~

After the surgery Tsunade informed me that she is in a coma because she isn't strong enough to be awake on her own. I stared on her. "For how long?" I asked her she sighed and shrugged. "I don't know when ever she decides to wake up...if she decides to wake up. She has been through a lot it is really hard to say in her case. All I know is for now she sound asleep. Would you want to wake up after the decision she just made? She just lost her sister maybe not physically but in other ways she lost the one thing she has had all her life and she is scared to wake up and realize what she has lost." She explained. I felt happiness wash over me I moved on my own as I hugged her tightly.
