I'll Be There For You

After Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji, Neji and Kiba , were assigned a mission to bring Sasuke back to the village. They did the best they could but came back unsuccessful and badly injured. Kiba healed quicker than the others due the food pills he and Akamaru consumed before they fought, and so he woke up first.

Kiba P.O.V
When I woke up I felt an intense pain in my stomach, it felt like I was beaten up by Rock Lee on steroids.

I scanned my surrounding and realized I was in the a hospital room, turning to my left I saw Akamaru, sleeping in the doggy bed next to me. He had a surgical cast wrapped around his body, and apparently so did I, but not as much as him.

At that moment I remembered the fight we had against the Sound Four Ninjas. Akumaru and I, would've barely made it out alive if it wasn't for Kankuro showing up and helping us out.

"Wow, those guys were tough. Hope you're doing okay buddy." I thought as I reached down and scratched Akumaru's ear gently.

I saw flowers and get well cards on the nightstand, and in the corner of the room, they must be from my family. There was also a box of ointment, I chuckled, it must be from Hinata and the rest of my team.

"Where are the others?" I paused.

I got up out of the bed, kissed Akamaru on the head and walked out of my room to search for the others.

I walked down the hall and saw Choji and Shikamaru in one room, Ino was there too they were all sleeping. The guys looked really beaten up from what I could see, they must've really put up a fight out there.

"They must be exhausted. I know I surely am."

"But, I'm glad you guys are okay, please continue to rest well."

I continued moving down the hall until I saw Neji in another room his eyes were wrapped with one of those hot towels, he must've over used his powers. Him and Choji fought before me, I didn't get to see how they are held up against them.

" Take it easy Neji" I mumbled, pressing my hand against the glass.

It didn't take long for a realization to hit me though.

"If these guys are this badly injured then, what about Naruto?"

I immediately moved as fast as I could to look for Naruto, swiftly limping down the hall and check the individual rooms in hopes of finding him.

I shouldn't have let him go against Sasuke by himself, but I was just too weak. Why did I have to stop and fight that guy? If I had just kicked his ass, I could've been by Naruto's side.

I came to a halt and stopped at a door that had the most beautiful view I've ever seen in this hospital, and inside of it I saw Naruto.

I opened the door and moved closer to where he laid , he looked so beautiful. The moonlight just glistening on his skin, his hair slowly moving with the wind and the smell of ramen that lingered in the room. Just beautiful.

"It's all my fault you're in here. I should've been there to fight with you, to protect you. If I did then maybe we would've gotten Sasuke back. If you could hear me right now you'd probably think I'm weak too" I said out loud.

A single tear ran down my face and landed on Naruto's cheek and started to slide down his chin, I lowered my face to his and kissed the stray tear away.

"Naruto, I love you. I can't imagine you feeling the same way towards me, but I'd do anything for you. If going after Sasuke is what you want then I'll be there for you, every step of the way. "I mumbled against his cheek.
