She was probably going to hit him. All things considered, it could almost be interpreted as a greeting where Sakura was sometimes concerned. Hey there, Naruto, here’s a concussion.

Not that he generally minded, at the least it meant she usually followed through on what she promised, which was a good quality!

In this case, he was vaguely tempted to see if he could enter into Sage mode just to lessen any potential damage. But the holes Pein had left behind were enough and he didn’t much want to add a cracked skull to the list and when he had tried it earlier it had felt strange. The chakra- or the natural energy in this place, a lot of it … wasn’t that natural, for lack of a better term. Naruto didn’t like it. It made him edgy. And he didn’t know what it would do if he tried to use it. Which made him doubly edgy ( ... )

Sakura looked up at the flash of orange in her vision, unable to keep her face from breaking out into a wide smile of relief and happiness as she hopped down from the edge of the fountain. She didn't want to keep the smile off either, though the stupid, girly tears she felt threatening the edges of her vision were unwelcome ( ... )

She seemed to move okay. And she definitely looked okay (but Sakura would look good to him covered in sticks and mud and bruises, simply because she was Sakura) and Naruto’s squinted look eased off a little though he was not completely convinced yet. He had felt her chakra back in Konoha when he had arrived. Hers had been the first he could focus on, and the relief then was echoed now.

She was okay. Okay enough to sock him in the shoulder, forcing him back a few stumbled steps-

Were those tears in her eyes?

“OW! Sakura!” The protest came out as a sulky whine, his hand moving up to rub his shoulder and though the complaint was reflexive he was glad for it. No sense in telling her what injuries lingered. She’d only hit him again. And harder! The wounds in his hands had almost healed. The ones in his shoulders, abdomen and thighs were more reluctant but in a few days he guessed they would be gone. Which was fine by him. And he moved well enough. Not exactly as well as he normally might but again, the difference was hard to discern. ( ... )

Just as he stepped forward Sakura reached to grab one of his hands, turned it over to examine with a frown, reaching up quickly to wipe at her eyes with a free hand, on reflex. "Don't give lame excuses." She scolded without really meaning it ( ... )

And he fought the reflexive recoil as she took his hand. Not because he did not trust her, because his trust for Sakura was absolute but because she had warm hands, smaller than his (killers hands) healers hands and he didn’t need it. To be healed. The wounds weren’t that big a deal and he wanted to deal with them himself. He wanted to feel them close without Sakura’s aid. He wanted it to be normal for once and it wasn’t disregard. It was penance.

I’m sorry I failed. He’s dead, an errant thought as Sakura scolded him. He won’t be making any more excuses. I dunno how to tell you. But outwardly Naruto let her look as he shifted on his feet in subdued awkwardness. “Oy, it wasn’t a lame excuse!" The token protest. For once in Kakashi’s defence. He still sounded sullen. It was a very real emotion. “It could’ve happened.”

It could have…

“It’s fine,” he murmured then, gaze locked on her expression, the clear determination in green eyes. Something was up. More than his wounds. Naruto took the opportunity to pull his hand away. “They’re ( ... )

Sakura sighed, giving Naruto the look of a long suffering teammate. But there was nothing really annoyed in her glance, either. She knew there was something bothering him--it was the way his smile didn't really reach his eyes, the slightly sulky way he responded that wasn't quite the bratty tone he used when he was whining without reason.

They had a lot to talk about, and she wasn't sure she wanted to talk about it. Ever since she'd arrived she'd been keeping busy and trying not to think of where she wasn't--because she was needed back home in Konoha and so was he, but she couldn't get them there. And if she thought about it too much she'd go insane. So she focused on everything she could do here, in World's End, a strange place that scared her but at least had enough going on to keep her completely occupied.

"You're not fine. I said I'd heal them." And she would, thank you. It would be the least she could do--it seemed more and more it was all she could do sometimes. Wait for the battle to finish and heal the wounds after ( ... )
