“Kamizaki!” Temari ran to the bloodied body. Taking his head in her hands she cried over her friend.

“Tsunade-sama what happened?”

Tsunade exhaled, “We have no idea. He came to the gates this evening like this. I am surprised he was even able to get here in his condition.”

“What is wrong with him?” Temari looked at her through tearful eyes.

“He had a ruptured spleen, multiple stab wounds from kunai and swords, a concussion and that isn’t even the worst of it. He has so much internal bleeding that we were only just able to stop the major wounds. Sakura has been working on him ever since he came in. She had to call for my help. The only thing that surprised me is the fact that all of his bones are intact. Most people would have had multiple fractures. There is more than meets the eye with this boy.”

Temari looked back at him. Naruto couldn’t see her like this. Wrapping his arms around her, she fell into his embrace.

“It will be alright Temari-chan. I know he will pull through.”

Sakura looked at Naruto and Temari sadness filled her eyes. Tsunade saw this, but didn’t say anything. “Naruto and Temari, Sakura and I still have work to do I would appreciate it if you two left.”

Naruto just nodded, Temari walked over to Kamizaki and kissed his forehead. Turning back to her husband they both walked out of the room.

Tsunade looked at her pupil, “They seem to be doing alright.” Moving back to where she had been before Naruto and Temari had come, she continued to work. Sakura just nodded. “Sakura I know that you are going to find someone like that. Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if he was in this very hospital.

Outside in the waiting room. Naruto and Temari had found a spot to sit.

“Temari-chan are you sure you are alright?”

“Naruto-kun I am sure of it. I am just worried. Kamizaki was one of the few people to actually get close to me before Gaara had his issues.”

Naruto nodded. He would have been lying to himself if he didn’t like the fact that she had kissed Kamizaki.

“There isn’t nor was there anything romantic between Kamizaki and myself. We were just good friends. I am sure you understand what it is like to be all alone in the world. Kamizaki was like that before coming to Suna.”

Naruto knew that feeling all too well. He may not have known why Kamizaki was alone, but he knew that Kamizaki was special in Temari’s eyes so maybe he should jest let it go.

A few hours later Tsunade came out of the ER. Making her way to the Waiting room she stopped right before opening the door. She smiled at what she saw. Sitting in chairs side by side were Naruto and Temari. Temari had her head resting on Naruto’s shoulder, while Naruto was resting his head on her head. Both were out cold. Tsunade turned around and walked away trying not to disturb the moment.

Temari’s eyes shot open. Jumping up and running into the ER room, she never noticed Naruto fall and hit his head on the arm of one of the chair.

“Naruto quit messing around Kamizaki isn’t in the ER we have to find out where he is.”

The couple basically ran to the receptionist upon finding out that he had been moved. They rushed to where they had been told. When they had found the room, Temari burst through the door. Sitting upright in the bed was Kamizaki, though he had bandages on a substantial portion of his face. She could still see the blond hair poking out from them. Sakura was standing next to the bed talking to Kamizaki. However when he had heard Temari crash through the door his attention turned to her.

Temari hugging him, “You idiot of course I was worried. You come here half dead and all you can say is you must have been worried?”

Shifting nervously, Kamizaki smiled, “I guess I was slightly idiotic.”

“Ah Kamizaki, you are awake,” said Tsunade. “So you mind telling us what happened?”

Kamizaki nodded. “I was on my way back to the village hidden in the mountains. When I saw smoke coming from that direction. I increased my pacer only to find the village had been burnt to the ground and all of the villagers and ninjas have been slaughtered.”

“Who would have done this?” asked Naruto.

“It was the Hidden Rock village. They were behind Sato and his attempt on your lives. They didn’t like that fact that I was sent to kill Sato.” Looking at his bed sheets, “I have to leave Hokage-sama. I need to kill the Tsuchikage.” Moving to get out of his bed, he was slammed back in. looking up he saw Sakura’s arms holding him down.

“Kamizaki,” Tsunade began, “You are not to move! There are two options you have. You can either join the hidden leaf village or help us or you can be considered an enemy nin and either be executed or left in prison. If you decide to join us we can move forward and prepare should the hidden rock attack. The choice is yours.”

Kamizaki sat there for a minute before saying anything. “I guess you leave me no choice but to join you.”

“Good now all we need is a place for you to stay until you can find a suitable place to live. Sakura doesn’t you apartment have a second room?”

Sakura was about to answer, but Naruto spoke up first. “Granny Tsunade since Kamizaki is staying in Konoha why not have him stay with us?”

Tsunade was quick with her answer; it almost seemed to Kamizaki that she had thought this through, “Because as Kamizaki recovers he will need the help of a medical nin.”

It made sense to Temari and Naruto nodded in slight agreement even though he didn’t like the idea of Kamizaki with Sakura, but who was he to say anything.

Sakura couldn’t believe that her mentor had done this, but only nodded. Besides she didn’t even know this person, let alone share her apartment.

“Alright then it is settled Sakura I think you should get Kamizaki straight to your apartment because some of these fumes might irritate the wounds he has received.” Tsunade left the room; everything was going according to plan as far as she was concerned.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The walk back to Sakura’s apartment was quiet for the most part. It may have been due to the fact that Sakura had to make sure Kamizaki didn’t fall over and reopen any of his wounds. When they got there she leaned him against the wall as she opened the door. Once inside she laid him down on the couch.

“Thanks Sakura-san.”

Sakura smiled. “It’s really no problem, Kamizaki-san. It is not often that I have a guest in my apartment ever since Naruto got married.” Turning she began to walk away.

“You miss him don’t you?” Sakura turned to see Kamizaki smiling at her. “I envy you. I have never known that feeling, but it is of no matter.” Closing his eyes as pain course through his body.

“I’ll get you some pain relievers Kamizaki.” Turning she walked away.

Whispering to himself, “Once again you have my thanks Sakura-chan. You have saved me a debt that I cannot fully repay.”

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

“Can you believe Granny Tsunade? She has Kamizaki staying at her apartment! Who give her a right to tell Sakura what she must do?”

Temari had had it with his complaining. “Naruto-kun I’m sure Tsunade –sama had many reasons why she had Kamizaki stay at Sakura’s. Besides why are you so worried?” She eyed her husband with one of those looks that says say something wrong and you are on the couch for a month.

“I’m just worried about Kamizaki; Sakura has this thing that she absolutely hates perverts and besides she doesn’t even really know him.”

Temari laughed at Naruto, “Kamizaki couldn’t even get girl to kiss him. Albeit he isn’t that bad looking he just has absolutely no experience when it comes to those sorts of things. Now I think you have worried enough for one night and I think we should go to bed.”

“I hope you are right about him Temari-chan, I hope you are right.”

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sakura slowly opened her eyes. The events of last night came back to her far more quickly than she would have liked. I wonder how he is doing. Getting out of bed she opened her door to see Kamizaki sleeping on the couch.Well he isn’t half bad looking. Shaking these thoughts from her head she went to get a shower.

About a half an hour later she walked from her bedroom to find the couch vacant. Oh shit where did he go?
