Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Death By Love ❯ Dirt In His Hair ( Chapter 2 )

Death By Love

Gaara was in her house. Her house.

How did this happen to him? She thought as she rushed into her house, carrying him. Didn't he have sand protecting him?

Shukaku was still inside of Gaara and there were some rumors going around that he would be Kaze kage in about a year.

She placed Gaara on the living room floor and took out a kunai to cut open Gaara's shirt to inspect his wounds.

She gasped at what she saw. There were multiple cuts across Gaara's chest, it looked like someone was playing tic tac toe with a kunai there.

Sakura healed those ones first, and then turned him over on his stomach to check if there was more. There was. A large gash was across Gaara's back.

It was enough to make even a medic nin flinch. She immediately began pouring her chakra into the wound. She watched as it began to heal up, but not completely.

She panted slightly. She was beginning to get tired. She bandaged him up and moved him into the guest room.

She placed him on the bed and sat across from him. What happened to you? She thought as she gazed at the red kanji above his right eye.

I'll tell Tsunade that you're here in the morning…they'll probably take better care of you than me.

It was hard to believe that he had just escaped death. The way he lay there, looking so…peaceful.

Sakura didn't realize that she had fallen asleep until she heard a BEEP BEEP kind of noise. She opened her eyes and glanced at her clock. It was 7:55.

Sakura jumped up and scrambled around looking for clothes. She started work at 8:00, and she couldn't be late.

``I've got to hurry!'' She thought aloud. “It won't be long until I-''

WHAM WHAM was heard from the door. Great…Ino's here…She thought bitterly.

Every morning, Ino and Sakura would walk to the flower shop where Ino worked, and then Sakura would walk the rest of the way to the Hospital.

But today, Sakura wasn't ready. And there was another problem, Gaara. I was supposed to bring him to Tsunade today, but I can't now. It's way to late.

Sakura grabbed her handbag and opened her front door to an angry looking Ino. “What took you so long?!” Ino screeched. “Sorry.” Was all Sakura had to say as she walked out of the front door.

Sakura was physically at the Hospital. But, mentally was somewhere else. She was constantly thinking about Gaara.

What if he woke up? What if he's outside right now on a killing spree? What if I didn't heal him properly last night and is bleeding to death? The “what if's” were on going.

And today just had to be the day that the janitor didn't show up to work, and left Sakura to do his job.

Sakura was more than happy when 6:00 rolled around. It was time for her to leave. She calmly walked over to Tsunade's office and said, “I'm leaving.”

She wasn't sure if Tsunade had even heard her, but frankly, she didn't care.

She all but ran home and threw open her front door almost ripping it off it's hinges.

She fast walked into the guest room only to find him lying in the same position she had left him in. She sighed. He was fine.

“All that worrying for nothing.” Sakura said to herself. She kneeled in front of him and noticed a few pieces of dirt in his hair.

She brushed the dirt out, and while doing so, noticed how weird his hair felt in her fingers.

Suddenly, his eyes shot open.
