The Kekkei Genkai Curse
By Shiroihato
(Chapter 4: Letters Vol. 1)
Gaara,
Hey, this is me from Konoha. I’ve got a favor to ask. A BIG one-
I need to stay in
Konoha, for Sakura-chan. I’ll probably need to be here about seven months. I’m
already staying until I get the letter with your answer. Tenten-chan has her own
apartment, and I’m crashing in the guest room. Please Gaara! Sakura’s dying
I just want to be there for her. Gaara, her body… how do I phrase this? Her body’s killing itself. She used her Kekkei Genkai, a suicidal technique, or at least that’s what Hina-chan says. I haven’t seen Sakura since before she was released from the ICU two days ago. (She had an attack, and nearly suffocated until she rammed this funny pill down her throat. She was coughing up blood, Gaara, BLOOD!) I think she was with Naruto yesterday; he certainly looks depressed. But the thing is, (I heard this from Hina-chan who heard it from both Saku-chan and Hatake-sama) there’s no cure. Even Tsunade can’t find one.
Please, Gaara, grant your big sister a favor, I’m begging you! Let me stay for seven months! That’s all she’s got left. After that, you can keep me reigned in Tsuna for the rest of my life if you like, just, please, let me stay!
-Temari

Temari,
Stay in Konoha. If the Godaime wants, I’m willing to send a medic nin from Tsuna to help out. Enclosed is money for any expense. Give my best to her, Temari. Kankuro sent a not to, but I left it out, as the thing he said should be, ah, censored.
-Gaara
Shikamaru,
Shikamaru, you’d better
get your lazy butt back to the village, ASAP! I don’t care about your mission,
get it done quick and come home! Tell Chouji the same thing! I promised I
wouldn’t tell
Ugh, okay, now how do I say this with out breaking my promise? You know what I can’t. I’m just gonna have to bend it a little. Something’s wrong with Sakura, and you need to get back here. It’s serious, and none of us are handling it well! Pass the message on to Lee and Neji, too. They’re on your mission, right? Hurry!
-Ino
Ps. I didn’t break my promise! I didn’t tell you WHAT'S wrong with her, and she said, specifically, “Don’t tell any one I’m, um, ______ (one word, verb) ____ (preposition) ____ (article) _____ (noun, two words/ compound)!”
-------
Ino,
Fine, fine, we’re on our way back to the village. What a drag. Neji’s curious, Lee’s sobbing, and Chouji’s… being Chouji. Ino, tell me those words are what I think they are! Does the first one start with a D? I guess I’ll see when we get back; I won’t have a address for you to send this too. But, please, tell me the first word’s not “dying”! What a drag, writing that all out!
-Shikamaru
Ps. Next time, make your hints a little harder…that was way too easy… and now I’m freaking out…what a drag.
-------
Ino,
Gai-sensei’s team+ rookie nine=12 12-Sasuke= 11 Do I have to subtract Sakura, too? Shikamaru got a weird look on his face. Please, do not tell me the new total will be ten! 11-Sakura= BAD
-Rock Lee

Kakashi,
As I haven’t been able to get a hold of you any other way, I suppose the ANBU with this letter will suffice, you ------! Sakura’s having an experimental surgery, Monday. There’s not guarantee it’ll work. In fact it might drain her some, if you know what I mean. But we’ve really got no other choice.
You Sakura’s guilty that she made you upset. Your not showing your face routine (I’m not talking about your damn mask!) has got her scared and upset. She’s a medic nin, and therefore has studied the theory that depression and suicidal impulses are, in some cases, genetic. She also knows parts of your past, you damn ------. Imagine how she mush be ------ feeling! You better ------ be in that waiting room when she comes to.
You’re not the only one who’s scared here, you have to ------ realize that. What the hell do you think you’re doing? Extra stress over a ------ isn’t what any one needs right now!
-Tsunade
-------
Godaime-sama,
Okay.
-Kakashi
A/N: Short, I know, but I just wanted to try it. Hey, I need your opinions on minor pairings. PM me, or review to vote. (I’d prefer the reviews!) I’ll only be taking votes for the next three days, because I’m going to visit my Grandparents in Mississippi next week, and I’m not sure if they have internet, or even a computer.
1. ShikaTema Or ShikaIno?
2. Hina? (I will not do HinaSasu, sorry. Sasuke will not appear until the last couple chapters, if at all. I’m leaning towards KibaHina, or HinaOC, but I want to hear from you.)
3. TenNeji? Let me know if you prefer a different pairing with those two!
4. TenLee or LeeOC or Lee single? (Note, I will take TenNeji over TenLee if it’s a tie)
5. No pairings involving Sakura or Naruto other than SakuNaru
6. No Shohen Ai/Shojo Ai/Yuri/Yaoi
7. If not TemaShika, then who do I pair Temari with? (No incest, people!)
Thanks, sorry about the crummy chapter!
