Tsunade sighed in relief when Luna's heart beat went back to normal.
It had been a long night.
She had managed to heal Luna, with the help of Sakura.
Yet... They still didn't like her. Tsunade noticed that.
They disliked her.
At least they didn't hate her?
But the two questions Tsunade asks herself are...
Why do they dislike her?
What did she do?
_____
Luna sat in her hospital room boredly.
It was super boring.
No one visited her.
Not that surprising.
Someone opened the door, and sped in.
Luna couldn't see who it was, due to how fast the person was going.
She looked next to her, and the unknown person was Gaara, "Ah. Gaara-Kun." Luna smiled.
Gaara hugged her tightly, "You're still alive! Thank Kami!" He sighed in relief.
Though, he didn't notice tears were streaming down his face.
Luna smiled and ran her fingers through his hair, "Shh, I'm all right, Gaara-Kun... It's okay... It's okay." She said lovingly.
_____
Naruto, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Choji all struggled to peek through the window, due to it's small, tiny size.
They actually weren't expecting that.
Honestly, they just wanted to see how she's doing.
_____
Finally, after a few days, Luna was released from the pris- hospital.
She walked out of the hospital in her usual attire, and almost immediately, Shikamaru and Choji ran (or walked) to her hurriedly.
Choji started to spin her around, looking for any signs of injuries, "Ah!! Luna are you okay!?" He asked when she fainted due to getting too dizzy.
Shikamaru sweatdropped, "What a drag."
_____
Gaara teleported to her quickly, and grabbed her arm.
Then, he teleported away.
_____
Gaara appeared in Luna's apartment, and checked if she was all right, "L-Luna? Are you okay?"
Luna stood up shakily, "Yeah, yeah. I feel better..."
_____
It's been 7 days since the incident with Luna.
Tsunade requested to meet her.
Luna was shaking, then Gaara teleported her over.
_____
"Gaara-Kun! You traitor!" Luna said dramatically as they appeared onto the Hokage's Tower's roof (if that makes sense).
Tsunade sweatdropped at their strange appearance, "Luna... I have gathered everyone here... So you can sort out this situation. It's irritating to see everyone hating you."
Luna fake smiled, "Ne, it's okay. I don't mind." She avoided everyone's gaze, and noticed Shikamaru, Choji, and Sai weren't there. Sasuke too, of course.
Tsunade sighed, "That's an order." She said, "Now. Tell them how you feel."
"Hai... Let's see... How do I feel? Uhm... Okay... It started when Gaara-Kun and his siblings were staying in Konoha for 3 days after assisting everyone with the failed retrieval of Sasuke-Kun... When the last person who tried to grasp the last of our friendship... Gave up on me. That was you, Kiba-San... That's when I realized... When I realized that I wasn't any use to any of you. I was a burden... To all of you. How I think about it, is like this..
We are all flower petals... Flying in the wind.. You all flew higher than me... You touched the clouds, then soon touched the sky... While I'm here... Nearly touching the ground...
But then Gaara-Kun let me stay in Suna...
Then... I thought.. Who cares if I cant fly? Maybe... Maybe I'll never touch the sky, either. I cant be like the other flower petals, that left me. I can start a new life... Right? I just want to run... A little more... Reach out to grab opportunities...
When Kakashi-Sensei told me to stay in Suna to be a Sensei... It hurt... A lot... I endured it..." Luna's smile wavered, "It hurt so much.. The pain was unbearable. Then, I realized something else...
This is my fate... My destin-" Luna was interrupted by Naruto, "What are you!? Another Neji!? You cant predict the future!! You don't have to stick to what you think!!"
Luna's smile disappeared, "Ah. But... That's where you are wrong. I tried to touch the clouds... You all kept pushing me away... And now... I'm here. On the ground... Looking up at you all. Watching you fufill most of your dreams. I knew at that point my dream was worthless. Like me... Gaara-Kun and his siblings, Shikamaru-Kun, Choji-San, and my stuadents are the last few people who care about me." She gave a small smile.
"I cant run from this any more. I'm stuck here. I cant get out. No matter where I am... No matter what I do... I am shunned. Dissed. Ignored." Luna said, "I no longer care about my own life anymore... That's why I let myself go on the last day... I kind of wish Gaara-Kun didn't take me here when I was about to die..."
Kiba clenched his fists.
Luna smiled, "If you are confused, let me explain.
When Kiba-Kun left my house...
I felt all ties snap.
It was like a room full of lit candles... And a gust of wind blew out the flame... So I decided it was best to live in Suna... Because if I stayed here...
I would've killed myself." Luna gave a real smile.
Naruto couldn't take it, so he punched her, "Stop talking trash about yourself!!!"
He didn't expect her to fly off the rails.
Tsunade stood up, "Naruto what are you doing!?" She shouted in anger.
"I.. I didn't mean t-" Naruto stared at his fist.
Gaara disappeared almost immediately when he realized what had happened.
_____
Luna laid in a small crater.
The back of her head was bleeding.
Red tainted her white hair.
Blood dripped from her mouth.
Her back was obviously bleeding...
Probably broken.
Why was she so injured?
Because she didn't try to save herself.
_____
Gaara appeared onto the ground, and searched for his girlfriend.
He sped around the tower, and found her lying there. She was pretty far away.
"Luna!!" He shouted and raced over as fast as he could.
She turned her head, and tried to stand.
It was strange that she could stand, but Gaara didn't question it.
Gaara held her bridal style, "How'd you get so hurt?! Why didn't you try to save yourself!?" He asked her.
"B..Beca..use... I-I didn't w-w-want to." Luna coughed.
Gaara held her like a piece of glass that can break anytime.
Luna held up a shaking hand, "I'm s-s-so w-weak. D-Don't b-bring me... To... Tsunade... If... She's l-late.. It's o-okay. I-It's okay if... If... S-She's h-her." She smiled.
"How could you be smiling!?" Gaara asked, tears streaming down his face, reluctantly staying there.
_____
Tsuande appeared there quickly, "Give her to me!"
_____
Naruto was the only person on the roof.
He couldn't believe he did that.
It wasn't like him.
"Why'd I do that!!!!" Naruto screamed in frustration, tears running down his face, "I might not be able to say sorry!!"
_____
Luna lay on the hospital bed, sleeping.
Tsunade had healed her, again.
Gaara appeared into the room, "I wont be taking her to Konoha anymore, unless it's for an emergency." He declared.
Tsuande's eyes widened, "I... I understand, but..."
"I don't care." Gaara's eyes turned cold, and so did his voice.
Like when he was 12.
Tsunade nodded sadly.
_____
Gaara took Luna home, and placed her on the bed gently, before leaving.
He couldn't believe Naruto of all people would to such things.
