[A-Alright?
Really? Was there anything alright about this?
Sure, he was holding Sakura's shirt or whatever which was helpful, right but Sasuke...
His face contorted a few times whilst he stood by... struggling to know where to look, mostly. His eyes wandered up... briefly, and then back down again.
Only to look again.
Which is when he notices the bruises and he almost reaches out to touch, but that would be a stupid thing to do right?
No. He knows what to do. Er. In a bit.
When Sasuke isn't there.]
You think she'll try somethin' else?

[ well making a big deal about it isn't going to help anything. which is why sakura is pointedly not looking at either of the boys, though she reaches her hand towards naruto. ]
I don't know. I wouldn't think so, now that she knows we'll kill her.
[ sakura closes her eyes as a sudden tiredness comes over her. but she doesn't want to show weakness right now, not when she's feeling like shit, so she pushes it away. ]
Hand me the antibiotic salve when you're done, Sasuke?
I don't know. I wouldn't think so, now that she knows we'll kill her.

If she tries anything, I'll deal with her. [No.] We'll deal with her.
[Including you in his plans for revenge murder if that doesn't spell teamwork I don't know what does.]
[He continues to wrap her torso in silence, knotting the bandages and giving a slight tug to make sure they are secure before he reaches for the ointment, handing it over.]

[He'd actually been about to interject, right before Sasuke corrected himself, and he felt his muscles relax, the tension that built in his spine freeing.
Well, that was a good feeling.
It seems to have made him forgotten about his sort of almost naked girlfriend, too.
Sort of.]
Yeah.

Yeah.
[ she stares at sasuke a little wide-eyed as he finishes wrapping her ribs. the ointment is taken from him with a fond smile and a quiet, ] Never thought I'd see the day...
[ it's safe to say any doubts she still had about him being back for good are gone now.
she turns and walks away from them, brushing her fingers against naruto's arm and taking her shirt from him as she goes. ] I'll be out in a few. [ and then she ducks into the bathroom.
it's easy enough to start rinsing out the small cuts that litter her body. though as she works, she finds that the sudden tiredness keeps getting worse. it's not until she reaches for the faucet to turn the water off that she realizes, oh, her head's a little fuzzy and her vision's swimming. she stumbles backwards, hitting the wall with her shoulder before falling to the floor. breathing is nigh impossible and her chest--there's something wrong with her heart.
sakura coughs and curses mentally. she thought she'd checked all of kin's weapons before she limped home. but apparently she'd missed one. ]

She picked the wrong people to mess with. [The statement wasn't directed at anyone in particular, though it serves to back up his thoughts. Reality was that he'd thought of reasons to do something about her for a while and now the opportunity had presented itself.
As Sakura disappears to the bathroom he busies himself with repacking the first aid kid, now that they don't need it anymore.]

[Despite how he might feel about killing people, for the sake of war, or any other reason... he struggles not to see that Kin deserved this, and any other fate she might suffer as a result of it. He'd tried talking to her, but she was too damn stubborn... too jaded.
Idly he handed Sasuke one of the plasters that had dropped out of the kit, eyes flicking up to the ceiling when he heard a thud.]
... Think she's okay?

[ she is really not okay. like, at all. breathing is nigh impossible and her heartbeat keeps doing funny things. trembling and without the strength to do much of anything, sakura kicks the wall in hopes that the noise will bring one or both of the boys running before her heart gives out.
one more shallow gasp for breath, two, three, and the light goes out of her eyes. ]

[The thud catches his attention too and ordinarily he would have dismissed it, but there wasn't really anything in their shared bathroom that could fall and create that much of a sound. That paired up with Sakura's injuries- did she trip or somthing?
He's glancing in the bathroom's direction for a couple seconds as goes through the thought process, before standing to go investigate.]
Let's check.
[Just a short walk to the bathroom and not hearing much from inside, he knocks twice on the door.]
...Sakura?

...Sakura?
[It's as if Sasuke's concern his the switch that confirms there really is something wrong.
He follows, right behind Sasuke, leaning un under his hand to press an ear to the door, but when she doesn't even reply he shakes his head, pulling at the handle of the door.
It's open--]
No! Sakura.
[Like a flash he's there on his knees, leaning over her, shaking her shoulder - touching her forehead.]
Sasuke she--!

Sasuke she--!
[Entering the room behind Naruto and finding Sakura's unconscious body there on the floor, he crouches down too to check the pulse on her neck, and then at her wrist.]
Nothing...
[No sign of breathing either. She's dead. What could have caused it though, the injuries they'd seen hadn't seemed that severe.]
That sound bitch must have done something...

[He's quick to look up at Sasuke, eyes alert - fixed on him as if he had the answers to everything.
Only, Sasuke had to go and say that and he sank back onto his heels - staring at Sakura's body on their bathroom floor.]
... But she--
I'll kill her.

She's already dead, remember?
[Though that won't stop them from doing something about it once she reappears.]
People take a few hours to come back. [Referring both to Sakura, and the Sound girl here.] We can wait at the castle.

Well I'll kill her again
[Stairs at soccer is body for a while before looking back at Sasuke standing to use feet he know she is dead and he Novoselsky is right still it doesn't make it any easier to deal with the fact eventually when her body disappears he turns around completely nothing wants up Foskey]
Let's go get home

[He stares at Sakura's body for a while before looking back at Sasuke and standing to his feet. He knows that she's dead, he doesn't need to feel her pulse or check if she's breathing - it hurts to look, but he waits until she disappears, turning around completely and nodding once at Sasuke.]

[A silent nod and he turns to exit the bathroom, stopping by his room to grab his sword and ready to leave once Naruto is ready. She will pay for this, he will make sure of it.]
