Hey it's me, sorry for taking so long. I know I haven't updated or written anything in a whiiiiiilllle, so I apologize, and I hope you will forgive me as soon as you are done reading this next chapter:

Fallen For You..Chapter 4 (Part One)

The sky was crying. Crying happy tears and crying sad tears. Happy because someone was found. Sad because a couple of lives had to be taken away in order to save that person. But isn't that how it is in life? You have to lose some to gain some. It is a horrible thing, killing someone to save someone, but that's how it is in the ninja world. You can't take the easy way out and you can't always do it the way you want. There's a price you have to pay if you really want something. It's the truth, and sometimes, the truth can really hurt.

The group was walking back to Konoha. Kiba was walking along side Akamaru and Hinata and Sakura were carrying Sasuke and Naruto on their backs. After that blow to the stomach that Naruto had given him, Sasuke had passed out, and was out pretty cold..he won't be waking up anytime soon. As for Naruto, being in Sage Mode took a lot out of him. He had passed out too. It was a long and tiring day, after going on a simple two day mission...

Can you believe that though? Naruto didn't even want to go on that, ''Little boy mission'' as he called it. But he ought to be glad he did now. He has got his brother back. His comrade. His friend. Sasuke.

..-..

"Hey Hinata, how close are we to the village?" Sakura asked as she re-ajusted Naruto on her shoulders since he was starting to slip off. The purple kunoichi activated her bloodline. "We're only about a half mile away, we'll get there in a few minutes,"She said quietly, exhausted. "Thank Kami,"Kiba mumbled to himself as he clutched his battered up arm.

They trudged on, wishing their bodies weren't hurting so bad. But soon, in a couple of minutes like Hinata had said, they were walking through the Hidden Leaf's gates. As they walked in, they people at the gate were just staring. It was Sasuke Uchiha, THE Sasuke Uchiha. The one no one has seen in the past couple of years. The one who ran away. The outlaw. People see him as a stereotype. He's like some type of germ as they walk towards the hospital. They quickly get out the way, not wanting to be anywhere near the group. They whisper horrible things about Sasuke, instantly recognizing him. His Uchiha looks just give him away.

They finally make it to the hospital and as they walk through the doors Sakura takes charge and starts shouting out orders.

"Get these two men in the ICU stat!" She yells as she lays Naruto on one of the stretchers that the nurses had pulled out, Hinata laid Sasuke on the other. "Get Kiba to the Radiology room and get an X-Ray on that arm!" Kiba follows another nurse and she takes him down the hallway."Hinata here needs stitches, she's a bloody mess. Get it done." Hinata then follows the last nurse to a room.

Sakura sighed and looked around gruelingly, her vision slightly blurry. She had used up almost all of her chakra and right now, she was down to nothing.

Akamaru had followed Kiba and the nurse so she was alone, or so she thought. She heard a familiar drowsy, deep voice. "What's with all the shouting, Sakura? I mean, knowing you it's nothing new-"

"Oh shut it Shikamaru. It's called doing my job. On our mission, we had found Sasuke," Shikamaru's eyes widened and Sakura continued,"Naruto hit him with the Rasengan after going into Sage Mode, so they're both out cold, Hinata is bleeding like crazy, and Kiba's arm is smashed." Shikamaru sighed,"How troublesome. Sasuke Uchiha is back. Does Lady Tsunade know?"

"She probably does by now, the way that people were whispering about it, it's definately not a secret, but I could go let her know, so she knows where everyone is," Sakura muttered. As she was about to walk out the door, Stumbling around, Shilkamaru grabbed her arm,"Hey, hey, hey. You need some rest right now. I bet you used up all of your chakra, and you look like a mess. I'll go." He got a small laugh out of her then.

"Of course Shika, what every woman wants to hear," She smiled softly, tiredly,"Thank you."

"Don't mention it."

..-..

"Lady Tsunade, we have got some pretty interesting news." Shizune says, coming through her office door with Shikamaru behind her, not bothering to knock since of the news and its urgency. "What is it?" She asks, looking up from her papers, glad that she has an excuse to get away from her work. Shikamaru steps up and clears his voice,"Lady Tsunade, Sakura, Hinata, Kiba, and Naruto just came back from their mission and they brought back this scroll.." He handed her the sacred scroll. Tsunade raised an eyebrow. "Let him finish my lady," Shizune says as she looks over to Shikamaru. He looked at the Hokage,"..As I was saying, they brought back this scroll, which Sasuke Uchiha was after. He and Naruto fought, Naruto won and now the Uchiha is currently in the hospital in the ICU."

It looked as if someone had stolen all of Tsunade's Sake. The look of surprise and slight anger on her face. She then cleared her throat and stood up, looking out the window. "Naruto finally brought that Uchiha kid back, huh? My, my.. I'm impressed," She sighed and ran her fingers through her golden bangs,"This is just great. Now I have to deal with those old farts. They're going to be bothering me about this whole situation. But I suppose worrying about that can wait until later, I should figure out what to do with him now..his punishment can wait." She turned from her window and walked towards the door. "Lady Tsunade, are you headed for the hospital?" Shikamaru asked. "Yes, I am. So if you two could stay here that would be great. Thank you." She said as she click-clacked past the two, leaving them back in her office.

..-..

"Sigh.."

She looked around the room with her large lavender eyes. It has been a couple of hours since they had come back. She was laying down on the light blue sheets that sort of matched the whole white background..not really. She lightly touched her stomach, hoping that the stitches there wouldn't leave a scar, even though she was conservative and never showed off her stomach..but that's another thing about the ninja world..sometimes you're scarred for life.. She cringed when she remembered about earlier. Standing right in front of Sasuke at that time was absolutely terrifying. She had never been that scared in her entire life. His eyes looked lifeless and dark, and it wasn't just because his eyes were an onyx color, it was like starring at a starless night sky. It was like they could just eat her soul. She had always wondered why Naruto wanted Sasuke back. When they were hanging around each other, all they would do was fight, and argue, and compete. But hey, wasn't that how Ino and Sakura were? They hated each other. Or, at least it seemed like it. They have a love-hate relationship. Like sisters.

"I suppose that's how Sasuke and Naruto are..like two brothers who compete, fight, argue..but deep down, they love each other and they just need that other person to help them along the way.."

..-..

'I cannot believe I'm just laying here..I'm suppose to be helping people, not the one getting the help.'

Sakura was just thinking as she laid on top of the sheets of the hospital bed.

'Oh I wish I knew what was going on with Naruto.. I'm so worried about him..after being in that dangerous state and all, he could've died back there. I could've lost Naruto..Naruto Uzimaki, the guy who would, and still will, do anything for me... And I use to treat him like dirt..It took me so long just to realize what an amazing person he is... Someone that I want in my life, he can't leave me..I..'

She shook her head, trying to rid hersself from the negative thought.

'And Sasuke..Oh Kami Sasuke..I will pray for him and his soul..My friend..the man I thought I was in love with.. Is a monster, and I hate to say this but, I'm afraid of him and I hate what he has become...'

*sniff* *sniff*

Tears slowly rolled down her porcelain face. She started crying and this time she just could not stop. She would not stop. She just let the tears flow from her eyes without a care. She laid in that hospital bed balling for a couple of minutes, soaking her pillow. After a while, she started to calm down, and it was perfect timing too. There was a knock at the door and the person came in. It was Tsunade. She walked over to her bedside and gave Sakura a questioning look, looking at her red puffy eyes. The pinkie smiled, pretending that she didn't just cry, "Hello my lady, what brings you here?"

"Well Shikamaru told me what happened during the mission so it's not that, I just thought that you would like to know about your comrades? I haven't told anyone else yet, and since you're closest to them, I thought you should know first."

Sakura smiled brightly and hugged her,"Oh thank you my lady! You don't know how worried I was about the two-"

She held her hand up to stop her from talking anymore,"Slow down, Sakura. I haven't told you their conditions yet, so don't get excited." Sakura smile fell and she put on a small fake one instead, deciding to hide her worry. She had this curious Tell-Me-Now-I'm-So-Desperate look in her eyes that she couldn't hide though. They were glistening with tears. "..Sasuke will be fine, he'll be out of the hospital in about a week or so, but since he cannot officially be trusted, I am going to temporarily take away his chakra and seal his Sharingan." Sakura's eyes were surprised and shocked, but she was going to keep all questions until the end like Tsunade always asked her to do. "As for Naruto," She paused, hesitating. Sakura motioned for her to continue.

"...He's in a coma."
