[no no no it's everything he'd been privy to before. it was naruto's capture, it was the fight with that ice wielder, it was fighting gaara to save sakura's life, it was his entire family and the arterial spray that haunted fitful nights. this was why he shouldn't have let himself get attached. this was why he left konoha. i'll never watch another important person die in front of me again.]

Sara- [his voice drops the way his body does, and without checking if the man is dead from the attack he slips both arms under the king, picks him up and leaps out of the battle. the distance isn't safe, nothing around here is safe, but they aren't underfoot and the fallen alcove is enough cover for him to set the king down.

his hands are shaking when he checks the blond's pulse- weak, barely there- and a small explosion happens in his chest. unbridled panic, and all at once sasuke feels like a child again. he grasps at his training, trying to get his wild mind under control.

saralegui can't die.

there's too much blood, and sasuke is ripping his shirt off before he can fully process what he's doing, reaching down to create a compress around the gaping wound and the steady spill of crimson. distantly, he watches himself fix the bandage, watches the colour stain his hands and catch on his wrist guards. he'd done this, he'd known sara couldn't fight this way, why had he pushed?]

It'll be fine. [he says it even though he knows saralegui can't hear him, but either way his voice doesn't sound like his own.] You'll be fine. [but his gaze is off the king, even as he once more picks him up, smearing blood across his bare chest, breath sticking his throat with the taste of iron and madness on the air, and he runs]
