So blood loss can be fatal....who knew?

[ramen4free.livejournal.com]

Characters: Naruto, Sasuke, Okami and Yoruichi.
When: July 25th
Where: The streets of Nesreca.
Rating: Uh...PG-13 for blood and possible language?
Summary: Sasuke has been bitten by Kamui and drained near the point of death. So it's Naruto, Okami and Yoruichi to the rescue!

Naruto had been giving Sasuke CPR ever since he made sure help was on its way and shut off his communicator. He grew more nervous and upset the longer he repeated the steps with no result. No matter what he did Sasuke's breathing wouldn't regulate right and he could tell the Uchiha was fading fast.

"Come on you guys, you're supposed to be here helping me," he muttered to himself as he pressed down on Sasuke's chest.

"I like to think that he was won over by my charm in the end." He laughed softly, shaking his head, "No...I try not to think about why he stopped, I'm just glad that he did." He shook his head again, "He's still not used to being able to do as he pleases..." Okami paused, smiling again, "I'm sorry...it must be a little confusing for you to hear all this..."

He sighed, stretching out his legs and following his gaze, "You don't sound so sure about that." He smiled softly, tilting his head.

Naruto chuckled in return and grinned. "I know what you mean. Not to boast or anything but I think a lot of people changed their lives around because of my charm." Amongst other things. He knocked his shoulder softly into Okami's and shook his head. "Nah, it's...strange, but in a good way. It's not every day I talk to someone from a different world. Though...I guess it is an every day thing now."

He crossed his legs indian style and rested his elbows on his thighs, supporting his weight on them. He stared straight ahead for a long moment, trying to figure out a way to word what he was thinking.

"It's just...he's different now. I'm different now. I still consider him a friend but...it's like he doesn't even care anymore about anything. And I guess maybe he doesn't. I...I just wish I knew what to do to help."

Okami laughed into his hand, "I'm glad you understand." He smiled softly, tilting his head back and staring up at the ceiling, "Coming here is sort of like a little dream come true for me, getting to meet a bunch of different people without really going anywhere. I wanted to travel when I was younger but, my body is too weak for that sort of thing." He shrugged, glancing at him, "I mean, how many times does something like this happen?"

He shifted, glancing back at him and studying his expression in silence. "I never thought people could change...it's either, they're suppressing their true feelings or, the real person came out in the end." He sighed, shaking his head, "Maybe he needs something big to happen, to realize there are things worth caring about." He smiled at him, resting a hand on his shoulder, "Just try to be there for him when he needs you, that's all you can do."
