Chapter 8
A/N: I'll just admit it, I couldn't end this fic and thus, this fic is taking a very strange turn. I'm going to try to revise it some, but I dunno, I might not be able to save it. Lmao. But anyway feel free to leave an honest review, if you have any tips, I'll gladly take them.
Thanks for reading! -Ani
Chapter 8
He woke that night to flailing arms. He put up his arms to block the blows that were coming at him. He shook her shoulder, "Temari! Wake up!" Nothing, no response, just the muffled sounds that he was sure were full screams in her dream. He tried to grab both of her wrists, but could only catch her left one. Her right fist caught him in the side of the head.
"Goddamnit! Wake up!" he yelled louder, trying to snap her out of it. He jumped up to prevent the next blow from landing. He shook his head, swearing he could see stars, what the hell? he thought. What's going on here? The next scream was full on blood curdling, it sent chills down his spine.
He grabbed her left leg by the ankle, only to get kicked in the ribs by her right foot. This isn't good, I can't snap her out of it, he frowned and tried to get off the floor. This really is a drag, I think she broke my ribs, he thought as he tried to take shallow breaths. He straightened up and almost blacked out from the pain.
She screamed again and he pulled her off the bed and held her in front of him, pinning her arms down. She fought and kicked, slamming them into the wall. The room dimmed and rocked and he fought to keep consciencous, he could taste blood in his mouth. I can't let go, I can't. If I let go, it's going to be bad.
"Temari, please wake up!" he screamed, trying to ignore the pain. He felt her body go limp. The sudden dead weight caused them both to fall. He twisted his body so she wouldn't fall face first. When he hit the floor he both felt and heard the bone in his wrist snap and the room went dark.
***
Her eyes snapped open and the first thought that went through her head was, that's odd, when I went to sleep I was on the bed. The second thing she noticed was that she was partially laying on Shikamaru.
She got up to her feet and turned around to look at him. What she saw sucked the breath out of her, there was blood seeping out of his mouth and she was pretty sure his wrist wasn't supposed to bend that way.
"Shika-kun," she said, crouching down next to him and pulling up his eyelids. Not good, she thought, not liking how dialated his eyes were. She tries to think, his dad was on a mission, his mom was on duty at the hospital, but Sakura's house was a little over 1.5km down the road. She pulled him up on her back and took off for Sakura's house.
***
She pounded on Sakura's door until she thought it would splinter and break. Please answer the door, she thought, becasue she couldn't carry him the rest of the way to the hospital. If she was 100%, it wouldn't be a problem, but she hadn't been sleeping well and her plevis was still bothering her when she was over tired, which was always these days. She kept pouring what little of her chakra she could to keep the pain under control. She was still learning basic medical jutsu. Finally, she heard movement behind the door.
Sakura looked out the peephole and saw Temari and Shikamaru, so she opened the door.
"You gotta help him, he's hurt," she said, panic rushing her words.
"What happened?" Sakura asked, helping her bring him inside. "That wrist is broken, for sure."
"Yeah, and he's wheezing badly," she said, watching Sakura examine him. She was a nervous wreck, "I Started basic pain management jutsu, my chakra reserves are a mess still, so I'm afraid it wasn't much."
"Un-huh, let's see, broken ribs, feels like 2 and a concussion. What the hell, Temari?" You know this has to go on record," the pink-haired medic nin said, giving Temari a hard look.
Temari was the first to look away, "No, it can't. Please, for a friend? I don't know what happened. I was having the strangest dream, it was horrible. All I remember is smoke and being chased."
Sakura was shocked, Temari never talked about her nightmares, "Do you remember anything else?"
Temari jumped slightly at Sakura's question, she hadn't realized she'd said that out loud, "Ah, no...not really."
Sakura looked at her friend from Sunagakure, she had dark circles under her eyes, her hair was pulled back in two ponytails and her face was pale and thin. She probally wasn't eating either. Sakura finished repairing the major injuries and went into the kitchen. She put water on to boil and got some of her secret chocolate chunk cookies stash out. She knew Temari couldn't resist the cookies. Sakura thought about her company in the bedroom, she didn't want to be too long. The kettle whistled and she turned the burner off and made the tea.
She put the cup in her friend's hand and set the cookies on the table. She watched as Temari took a sip and eyed the cookies. Sakura turned her attention back to Shikamaru, she needed to set his wrist.
Temari picked up a cookie and dunked it in the tea and took a bite. She winced as the medical ninja snapped the bone back in place and holding it there while her green chakra penatrated the bone, healing it from the inside out.
Sakura gave her a sharp look, "You need to sleep alone if you're capable of this, or maybe, you need to talk to someone about your nightares, they might get better, you know," she said, frowning at her.
"I would, but I hardly ever remember them. Just bits and pieces that don't make any sense."
"Yeah,un-huh. You should be thankful his mom wasn't home, 'cause she'd kick your ass. She's mean," Sakura giggled, Shikamaru's wrist healed.
"Yeah, I know. Is he gonna be okay?"
"Yep. Good as new. He's going to be sore for a couple of days. It's a good thing he's on vacation."
***
He groaned as he sat up, what happened and where the hell am I?, he thought, trying to identify his surroundings. He could hear female voices. "Temari-chan, where am I?" he asked, silghtly annoyed.
"Shikamaru, good you're awake. How does your head feel?"
"Sakura, is that you? I feel like I got hit by a train," he groaned.
"Yeah, the Temari express. What happened? Do you remember?" Sakura asked him.
"I couldn't snap her out of her nightmare," he said, sitting up and taking a sip of Temari's tea.
Sakura looked at Temari, "I thought as much, you had two broken ribs, broken wrist and a concussion."
"What a drag."
"I'd say. Well, I'm going back to bed. You guys can crash here if you want," she said, heading towards the back of her house.
"Huh, she rushed off quick," Temari said, looking at Shikamaru.
"Yeah, she probably has company. Let's just go home," he said.
