I awoke to feel firm hands gripping my side.
I felt my head loll around.
I saw Naruto and Sasuke supporting me while we were running.
"Guys, I forgot to tell you I have three scrolls now." I croaked.
Sasuke had an anime vein.
I would've burst into laughter if I hadn't felt like I was dying.
No, scratch that, dying would be better than this.
"You couldn't have told us before I just fought off a guy for his scroll?!?" Sasuke exclaimed.
"Well SORRY for engaging 3 ninja myself and winning!" I snapped.
I groaned and grabbed my head.
It was hurting so much!
I prodded my fingers against the side of my head.
Dried blood came off from my fingers.
"Um I don't remember hitting my head guys." I stated.
"That's because before Sasuke could catch you you hit your head a bit." Naruto explained.
I moaned and tried to stop the furious pain in my skull.
"You okay?" Sasuke asked kinda somewhat concerned.
"I'm fine, lets keep going but I will need your support. You too, Naruto. I guess I forgot to mention I have a broken leg, a broken hand and I think a fractured skull." I said sheepishly.
Sasuke face-palmed and started grumbling to himself.
Naruto sighed and put his arm around my waist while moving my broken hand carefully around Sasuke's shoulders.
I spotted the tower.
"Tower's right there." I nodded in that direction.
"Way to point out the obvious." Sasuke said sarcastically.
"If I could point I wouldn't need your help and-oh Hi Shikamaru, Choji, Ino." I smiled in the direction of a large bush.
They clambered out.
Sasuke looked confused for a second, and then went back to mumbling.
"Hey whoa. Sakura are you okay?" Choji asked looking truly concerned.
"Just fine!" I responded with a close eyed smile.
Mostly to cover up my tears threatening to spill.
Who knew breaking bones hurt like hell?!?
"Um Sakura, why are you crying?" Shikamaru asked boredly.
I wiped my tears with my bad hand.
I grunted in pain but smoothed out my expression.
"Just hurts a little but I'm okay." I reassured.
"Forehead, you sure you're okay? It looks like you ran into some pretty tough ninja." Ino remarked while eyeing my broken hand.
"You guys don't look so good either." I replied looking at their bruises and scratches.
"We ran into Gaara. We wacthed him from a distance but he looked like he was ready to kill us. We encountered some other squads but thats it." Shikamaru informed.
"Yeah and the other squads took our scrolls." Ino added, looking a bit forlorn.
"Here." I sighed.
I tossed a few scrolls with my left hand. Also known as my messed up hand.
Did you know I was left handed?
I guess I need to practice using my right hand.
Sasuke glared at me.
"What? Its not like we get a prize for having more than 2 scrolls. And plus, life's always better with a little competition." I winked.
Naruto grinned.
"Yeah and I'm going to beat my competion in the next exam believe it!" He yelled.
Everyone sweatdropped including me.
Someday I'm going to have to bet him he can't go a day without saying 'Believe it.'
I have a feeling I'd win that bet.
"Thanks." Shikamaru nodded in my direction.
"No prob." I replied coolly.
After they left to go to the tower in a different direction, we used, well Naruto and Sasuke, used their ninja speed to appear at the tower.
They dragged me along since well, you know my condition at the moment.
In a few seconds the door in the tower revealed itself to us.
We opened the door into the dark room and stepped in.
