Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Make Me Immortal 2 ❯ chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Naruto was running to the hospital faster than he ever gone before. (Him rushing to a hospital, who'd have thought?) He had just gotten back from wherever he went with Jiraya, and as soon as he'd heard about Sakura being in the hospital, he wanted to see her as soon as possible. And he probably would have if Tsunade hadn't somehow managed to restrain him and explained the whole situation.
 
 
`He hurt her. And how could she have kept it from me?' These thoughts circulated in his mind.
 
 
Naruto finally reached Konoha's local hospital, he dashed to the reception's desk and asked frantically, “Which room is Haruno Sakura?”
 
 
The nurse flipped through a clipboard while Naruto tapped his foot impatiently.
 
 
“Haruno, Haruno… ah, here it is, room 313 on the second-“
 
 
Naruto ran off.
 
 
“-floor.”
 
 
Naruto rushed to his destination as if he was trying to fly. He burst into the room like a hurricane. What he failed to notice as he excitedly opened the door was that it was not 313 but 315. Of course him being Naruto, fate decided to make him pay for his hasty action, and so that was how Naruto found himself in front of an angry woman in labor.
 
 
Naruto slapped his hand over his wide, innocent eyes. “Sorry, sorry, wrong room,” he apologized as he backed out of the room before he could face the wrath of an fuming woman in pain. (Not to mention the doctor and nurses.)
 
 
Once in the hallway, he shuddered in an ineffectual effort of forgetting what he had just seen. He looked around and his eyes landed on room 313. He made his chaotic (and loud) entrance and found the occupants of the room staring at him strangely.
 
 
Every time before you open the door, you imagine what it's like on the other side. For example, when you open the door to your room, you expect to find your desk, dresser, and bed in the same exact location you left it, right? Right. When Naruto opened the door, he did not expect eleven people gaping at him. Asuma's Kurenai's, and Gai's team were all there, along with Kakashi and the (barely) human block of ice known as Sasuke Uchiha.
 
 
“W-what are you guys doing here?” stammered Naruto in surprise.
 
 
“Same as you, visiting Sakura,” answered Kiba.
 
 
“All of you?!”
 
 
Kiba sighed and nodded.
 
 
“Gee, I didn't know all of you were so close,” commented Naruto.
 
 
Shikamaru shrugged, “Ino dragged me, Shino, and Chouji here…besides, we are her comrades.”
 
 
“We decided to drop by after Hokage-sama told us…what had happened,” Tenten explained.
 
 
“Oh.”
 
 
Naruto pulled up a chair next to Ino who was sitting against the by the window, “How's she doing?” his voice was barely above a whisper.
 
 
Ino sighed depressingly, “She's okay for now, but anything can happen,” she looked at Sakura, “I just wish I knew.”
 
 
“Yeah, same here, then this probably wouldn't have happened,” Naruto shook his head sadly.
 
 
“I wouldn't be so sure of that.”
 
 
They looked up. Kakashi was standing next to them `Icha Icha Paradise' in his hand but for once, he didn't seem to be interested in reading it.
 
 
“This whole thing was inevitable. Don't you think Sakura would still be like this even if you knew? You wouldn't have been able to stop her. Both of you should know how stubborn she can get,” there was a hint of amusement in his voice as he said the last part.
