Sakura's Path Chapter 6

A/N: Here is Chapter six. I decided to change the Main pariing becuase with my Idea I realised That I couldn't interpret a NaruXSaku pairing in, so Instead now, It's NaruXIno my favorite couple hehe.....Enjoy!

"Get him into a room now!" Tsunade yelled "We're not going to lose him!"

"Yes Hokage-Sama!! Go! Go now!!" A medical nin yelled at his team.

*********************

Outside of Naruto O.R. Shikamaru and Kiba were waiting when Ino, Hinata and Ten Ten showed up.

"What's....Going...on shikamaru?" Ino questioned her former teammate.

She was answered by Silence.

"Who's in there?" Tenten asked.

"....Naruto...." Kiba Murmured.

A wave of worry came over the group Hinata's expression was one of pure horror.

"Is he alright!?" Ino Shouted

"They....They say he's in extreme condition....They don't know if he'll make it...." Shikamaru said almost in tears.

The whole group had gone silent with the excpetion of small sobbs from Shikamaru and Ino not a sound was made.

"Ino....why are you crying? I thought you didn't even like Naruto." Kiba asked her.

"I don't know...I really don't but I feel like something is wrong..." The Blond Kunoichi said. "By the way...where is forehead-girl?...."She questioned

Shikamaru had all of the sudden gone from sorrow to anger.

"She's with that Bastard Sasuke! It's her Fault this Happened! All her fault!!" he yelled as he punched the wall, Cracking it.

"What?....Sa...Sak..Sakura's...with Sasuke? Where are they?" she asked afraid to cross a boundry.

"On their way to the Sound Village...Naruto couldn't stop them....that damn fool...he thought he could take them by himself....heh, natually not thinking before doing anything." Kiba informed them.

"Naruto....I'm sorry." Ino announced out loud and then ran from the hospital

"Ino! Wait!" Shikamru yelled and took off after her.

*************************

"Is he stable?" A med-nin asked her colleauge.

"Yes...The Kyuubi no Kitsune's power helped greatly in his healing process." another med nin said.

"Good now leave him to rest." Tsunade said. "He needs it..."

*************************

"Ino!....INO!!" Shikamru yelled looking for her at the training grounds.

Ino was sobbing behind a tree wondering why she was doing it....

'Why am I sobbing over Naruto? Is it becuase of Sakura....or is it something else?'

She heard Shikamaru's voice in the Distance

"Ino! Ino....come out tell me what's the matter!" he pleaded to her.

She came out from her hiding place still sobbing.

"Shikamaru....why? Why did those two have to do this?.."she asked him

"I don't know....but Naruto is going to need some company when he wakes up..." he said.

"What are you insinuating Shikamaru?" she questioned confused.

"I mean when he wakes up we should go see him...all of us....and tell him what happened."

"He already know's doesn't he? I mean he was there." she muttered

"I mean about Chou...." He trailed off.

"Chouji...What happened to Chouji!?!?" She yelled at him.

"Ino....he's dead...." Shikamaru was now crying again and Ino with him.

"No....Chouji...." she breathed "Sasuke-teme, Sakura-teme....YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!!!!" She hollered at the air.

***********Several Days later************

"nnn....ahh...My head..." Naruto murmured as he woke up, looking over to his left and seeing Ino, Shikamaru, and Kiba sitting, and sleeping.

"Hey...guys..." Naruto said to the sleeping bodies earning a stir from Ino.

"mmm...Naruto....Naruto!" she yelled awaking the other two, she ran to him and embraced him with out thinking.

"Ahh! Ino you're hurting me...Gack!" he Choked out.

"oh...I'm sorry Naruto-Kun." She said sweetly

Naruto was taken aback by the 'Kun' put at the end of his name, she only ever called Sasuke that.

"Hey, what's up sleepey-head? hehe." Shikamaru asked Jokingly his Expression turned alightly grim

"Shikamaru...what's wrong?" Naruto Asked.

"Naruto....do you know that Chouji is dead?" He asked the Blond boy.

"No...I didn't....damn it...SASUKE!!!!!!!!" he Screamed making all of the other three Shake

"Naruto Calm down!" Kiba ordered

"No....I can't just calm down...." Naruto said fumbling with his Fox powers

"Naruto-Kun..." Ino said hugging him "It's okay...please don't get upset...."

Immediately Naruto calmed down and returned the hug earning a suprised yelp from Ino

"You're Right Ino...excuse me...Ino-Chan..he...I should calm down....but I will get them back!" Naruto Said angrily

"And..we'll help you Naruto-kun." Ino said into his ear nipping at it.

"Ahem! Um...Can you two stop feeling each other up so we can visit now?" Kiba said trying to break them up.

"Oh! Yeah, sure..." Naruto said blushing and slightly embarrassed.

"Good...now then.." Kiba was interrupted by a *BING BONG* and an announcement

"Attention Visitors....Visiting hours will be ending in 5 minutes...repeat 5 minutes. Thank you."

"Damn! We'll be back tomorrow okay Naruto?" Shikamaru told him.

"Okay...you guys have a nice night." Naruto Told them.

"I will...." Ino said with a smile.

"Okay....Let's get going before they get mad." Kiba said.

********Later That night*******

Naruto was Laying In bed Thinking about what had transpired earlier that week and was reflecting on things when he heard a rustle in the tree.

"Who's there?" He questioned "Come out!"

"Shh!! Naruto It's just me!" Ino said coming out of the tree.

"Ino? What are you doing here?" he asked her.

"I wanted to come see you...I want to make you feel better about what happened with Sakura...and I wanted to get your mind off of it." she admitted. By this Time she was sitting on his bed next to him.

"Really? And just how were you going to do that?" He asked interested.

"Like this..." She whispered and Pulled him into a Kiss.

Naruto's head was spinning, He didn't know whether to return the kiss or push her away. In the end he followed her slipping his tongue into her mouth after a while. After reluctantly breaking the kiss Ino looked into Naruto' big blue eyes.

"Naruto...has anyone ever told you how beautiful your eyes are?" She asked.

"No...No one has ever told me anything....I have always been shunned, and now to be getting all of this attention is a welcome change...but I don't know if I want it...." he admitted.

"Why?...Why wouldn't you be wanting the attention of your friends and of a girl of all things?" She asked confused.

"It's just that I failed....Failed bringing back our friends....and I don't think I am deserving or even worthy to receive it." Naruto said slightly depressed.

"You idiot....you need to realise that you have friends that care for you, more than you think....and to be tottally honest I feel a little guilty about all of the things that I have said to you....or done to you in the past...." Ino muttered to naruto.

"Why? Why now of all times?" He asked.

"Because, Seeing you almost dead reminded me how precious my friends are, no matter how remote from me they are." She said almost in tears.

"Ino...for the longest time....I have always had a crush on Sakura...and to be honest on you too...but I figured as long as Sasuke was around I could never have either of you....but now....I'm at least glad I have you..." Naruto said.

He Grabbed Ino and Hugged her tight, not wanting to ever let go. when he heard a sound from outside the door.

"Wait! A sound! Ino, Hide!" he ordered.

"But I didn't hear anything...." she said.

"Just Hide!" he hissed.

Sure enough, a nurse came into Naruto's room to Check him.

"Uzumaki....Naruto....Patient #137B. Are you okay? I thought I heard voices from out there." the Nurse asked him.

"Uh...Yeah I'm okay and you must be hearing things because I'm just sitting here thinking." he lied.

"Oh, okay then. Get to sleep soon okay?" She said.

"Okay I will!" Naruto answered.

Ino came back up relieved that Naruto heard the sound.

"Naruto...how did you hear that?" she asked amazed

"Okay...I didn't want to tell you this... but....do you remember the Kyuubi no Kitsune that attacked the village 13 years ago?" he asked her

"Yes I do...." Ino answered

*Naruto went on explaining about The Kitsune and the powers it had granted him and about* *how he tapped into it in the forest and how it led to his failure.*

"Wow....Naruto....I had no Idea...." Ino said still slightly in Shock about it.

"Yes...That's why I was always shunned and left behind by all of the villagers...." he said Tearing up.

"Well...at I'm here to help make it better Naruto-Kun." She said reassuringly

"Thanks Ino-Chan." he said gratitude in his voice. "You'd better get going...."

"Okay..." She kissed him passionately. "I'll be back tomorrow with Shikamaru and Kiba okay?"

"Okay Bye!" He waved to her.

'Ino....Thank you for Finally acknowleging me....because I really need the Comfort' Naruto Thought to himself as he drifted off into Sleep
