Author's note: this is a longer chapter, but I hope you enjoy it as is.
Jiro was as easy to play as a radio. Anko had him alone which meant Sakura’s job was to find Kagome and get her out of the building. She finally located the nobleman’s daughter sitting on a bathroom floor cutting the skin of her forearm with a razor. There was a significant amount of blood, but not enough for her to die. Clearly, it was not a suicide attempt, but another terrible problem plaguing the young lady. “Kagome” Sakura began gently, knowing the girl was distraught and depressed, “please let me help you.”
Kagome dropped the razor and tried desperately to hide her wounds. “It-It’s nothing. I’m fine.” She jumped to her feet quickly and then nearly passed out from low blood pressure.
Sakura put her arm around her, steadying the gaunt young woman. “We are getting you out of here right now.” She poured a measure of chakra into her hand and placed it on the young woman’s bleeding arm, quickly healing the cuts.
Kagome screamed, “No! You don’t know him! You don’t know what he’ll do!” Sakura held her hand over the young lady’s mouth too late. She did manage to drag the reluctant healing beneficiary out of the bathroom and into the bedroom just as Danno stormed through the door.
“Well shit.” Sakura exclaimed as Kagome wriggled in her arms. “This is for your own good.” She pulled out a hairpin doused with sleeping potion and injected the young lady feeling her quickly collapse in her arms. Sakura stepped aside and assumed a defensive stance, Neji’s warning ringing in her ears, “He’s a class S criminal in the bingo book. Do NOT engage him alone.” Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
The fearsome Danno came at her with a flurry of punches and kicks. Sakura dodged them and threw her own; she’d have to thank Sasuke and Naruto for their tutelage later. But right now what she really needed was back-up. She made a quick hand sign behind her back, though it meant she failed to dodge a kick in the ribs. Danno didn’t even notice the tiny pink beetle that slipped out the window as Sakura flew against the wall. Damn. 2 broken ribs. Sakura through a quick Chakra heal on herself to stabilize the bones as she dodged Danno’s full scale attack and jumped to her feet. She tried to use genjutsu, but Danno just sneered at her, “What kind of weak minded fool do you take me for, bitch!” She managed to dodge a rain of 6 kunai knives, picking one up for herself.
“Thanks for the weapon.” She taunted as she dove in to her opponent. He dodged as well and they resumed their taijutsu dance of punches, kicks, blocks and dodges. Seconds felt like hours as Sakura’s aching ribs were beginning to slow her ever so slightly. Danno landed a punch to her gut sending the kunoichi crashing through the wall into the next room. As he ran in to finish her off, Danno was suddenly stopped by searing pain as several dozen insects stung his back, neck, and arms.
He turned furiously to face Shino Aburame who taunted the criminal coolly, “Now, that’s no way to treat a lady.”
Danno threw another flurry of kunai at the insect user who deftly dodged and blocked them. “That ain’t no lady; that’s a ninja whore.” He taunted back diving in with his fists after the calm shinobi. Sakura jumped to her feet, knowing her ribs were now in shaky condition as she was gasping for breath. Shino was buying her time and she was damn well going to use it. She pulled the hairpin loaded with neurotoxin just a Danno landed a hard kick to Shino’s knee, knocking him to the ground. “Perfect” she exclaimed as she released the toxic missile, hitting her target precisely in the back of the neck.
Danno kicked Shino in the gut as he began to lose control of his body, “Fucking bitch!” were his last words as he collapsed on the floor and died.
Sakura dropped to her knees as she desperately tried to stay awake. Shit. She had a punctured lung. It hurt like a bitch and breathing was nearly impossible. She felt strong hands on her shoulders as she blinked and found herself looking into Shino’s very worried face. “Sakura! Focus! You must heal yourself now. Your lips are turning blue. Listen to my voice.” Sakura nodded as Shino’s eyes held her gaze. His voice was so calm even though his face was distraught. It took everything she had to focus her chakra as she placed her hand on her side, sealing the hole in her lung. Finally, she took a long deep breath and would have collapsed entirely but for Shino’s support.
She could clearly see Shino’s knee was broken, but he was still trying to stand. “Shino, he’s dead. Now lay down, your knee is broken. I just… need … to catch… my breath.”
Seeing the logic in her words, Shino sat down next to the pink haired kunoichi just as Neji and Kiba ran in. Shino gave a quick report, “Danno is dead, Kagome is drugged, and Sakura and I are both in poor condition.”
Anko popped in next. “Jiro down. Damn. Looks like I missed a good party.”
Sakura’s breathing was still labored, but at this point she was just happy to be breathing. “I have some broken ribs. Just patched a punctured lung, but it’s only a patch. Shino’s knee is broken in three places. He’s not walking on that for a while. I had to drug the girl. She flipped out at the idea of being rescued. That’s how Danno found us.”
Neji nodded, “hmmm. That does happen sometimes. I take it this was your first such experience?” Sakura nodded. “Can we carry you safely, Sakura?” She nodded yes. “Anko, you take Kagome, she’s emaciated, so should be easiest. Kiba, carry Shino and I’ll bring Sakura. Let’s get to the camp quickly.”
The shinobi nodded their ascent and they sped off as fast as they could go into the night.
A half hour later they were at the campsite where Neji had prepositioned tents, a ready to light fire, food and medical supplies.
Sakura started her instructions as soon as the camp was in view. “I need myself, Shino, and Kagome in one tent along with the medical supplies. Get ice on Shino’s knee right away and elevate it. Shino, you WILL lay down. I need three, no four food pills and some water. Shino gets nothing by mouth but water until I’m done with him. The girl will need an IV, please get the kit out next to her and I’ll start it as soon as I can. I’ll also detail her condition as I learn more.”
The three able bodied shinobi followed her instructions promptly. Shino simply watched in awe as Sakura transformed into the powerful medical ninja making sure everyone’s needs were met, even her own. He knew she would rather heal the others first, but they all knew Sakura had to heal herself to have the strength to treat the others. Her wounds were the most dangerous.
As Sakura sat on her bedroll eating food pills as quickly as she could and still keep them down, Shino reached out his hand and touched hers. “You’ve got this. Take a breath.” There was something so soothing about his deep, calm voice. “Thank you, Shino.” She took a deep breath. She knew he was right. This was what she did best; field medicine. She knew it inside out and upside down.
Once the food pills hit her system a few minutes later, Sakura had plenty of chakra for the work ahead. She set to mending her own broken ribs, cursing often as it really did hurt like a bitch. Once she had the bones mended, she had Anko wrap her snuggly with a bandage for extra support. She took a moment to examine Shino’s knee more carefully. She frowned at her findings and looked Shino in the eye. “It needs surgery. Tonight, if you want to walk on it again.”
Shino nodded, “Well, then, I suppose it’s good that you are an excellent surgeon.”
Sakura turned to look at Neji, “since you can see chakra flows, you will assist me.” Neji swallowed hard and nodded.
She started Kagome’s IV and examined her thoroughly. Her torso was covered with bruises of various ages, her forearms were scarred from the cutting she was doing to cope, she’d had a broken wrist that wasn’t set properly and… shit… the poor girl was pregnant. Sakura set to mending the wrist properly and giving what relief she could from all the bruises. She motioned Neji over and quietly gave him her full report. “Her family will have to make that call.” Neji said sadly. “It is not ours to make such decisions. I just feel bad for the poor girl. She’s been through hell already.” Sakura nodded knowingly. She certainly understood that the physical wounds were much easier than the wounds to the soul.
But she couldn’t dwell on that now, or she wouldn’t be able to heal Shino. As mixed as her feelings were for him, his little pink beetle and his cunning jutsu had just saved her pretty little ass. She was not going to fail him now.
Sakura explained the procedure to Neji, so he would know exactly what to do and when to do it. Kiba was charged with the lighting and Anko with any needed errands. Sakura handed Shino a sleeping potion. “Bottoms up and goodnight.”
Shino downed the potion quickly, “Bottoms up and…” he was out. “Goodnight.” Kiba finished for him “See ya walking in the morning, buddy.”
They completed the procedure successfully, exactly as planned. Although Neji was clearly a bit squeamish about blood. Odd for a ninja, but oh well, he made it through without passing out. It was 2 am now, and they were all tired. “Another food pill for me please and inject this into Kagome’s IV port.” She handed Anko the sedative. They did not need the girl waking first in the morning. She looked up at Neji as she bit into the food pill, “All yours now captain.” And she saluted just for grins.
Neji picked up the baton seamlessly, “Kiba first watch, Anko second, and I’ll take third.” Sakura was already asleep.
