The sun was nearly at its peak when a pair of dark eyes opened wearily. The blurry world slowly came into focus for the owner. The young boy stared blankly at a wall while his thoughts rearranged themselves.
For a few minutes he was blank, but then it all surged back to him. He was obviously in the hospital, after the effects of a strange new jutsu that none other than Naruto used on him.
//Kuso! I lost to him??// The boy thought angrily, blood pounded painfully throughout his whole body.
He attempted to sit up, but his body acted as if it was not his own, and it barely responded, allowing him to only move a few feet before he gave into the pain and slumped against the wall.
The boy eyed his surroundings through his dark bangs, it looked like a normal hospital room, only. . . his eyes fell on a second bed. Another occupant lay motionless on it.
His body was small beneath the sheets. Stray strands of spiky, blonde hair littered his pillow. The other boy's eyes were closed and a placid look was on his face.
A small smile touched the dark-haired boy's lips. //I knew I didn't go down alone, take the wrath of the chidori Naruto, haha. . .// he thought to himself.
He stole another look at the sleeping boy. //Fool, probably dreaming about ramen. . .//
Before he could think anymore, a high pitched squeal broke the silence.
"SASUKE-KUN! YOU'RE AWAKE!!" the all too familiar voice yelled as a blur of red latched itself onto Sasuke.
"I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU! I DIDN'T KNOW WHEN YOU WERE GOING TO WAKE UP . . ."
Sasuke felt fresh, hot tears fall onto his aching muscles as he groaned and shoved the girl away. "Sakura, I'm fine."
"Not really, seems like you took a rasengan head on, I'm amazed you survived." The ever calm voice of their silver-haired jounin sensei spoke up.
Sasuke turned and looked at him standing in the doorway. He simply nodded and walked towards the still unconscious boy's bed.
"However, seems like Naruto is still out cold, Sasuke, you shouldn't use the chidori on your allies." He warned and looked to his other two students. "If Naruto doesn't make it through this, you'll have only yourself to blame."
Sasuke's heart skipped a beat, and he was sure his face had paled. "W . . What?"
"Masaka sensei. . ." Sakura started, a slight quiver in her voice. "Sasuke-kun didn't just . . kill Naruto like that, that's not possible. . ."
The elder ninja shrugged. "There's a lot of things that a powerful jutsu can do, but Naruto is strong, so let's hope he'll be okay."
Sasuke looked away, he was starting to get sick to his stomach. They'd always fought, him and Naruto, but he never guessed it could be life-threatening.
"Sakura, let's go, Sasuke still needs rest, his body is practically going to be useless for another week." Kakashi motioned for the door as he spoke.
Sakura nodded. "I'll come visit you Sasuke-kun" she sounded hopeful and looked at him.
Sasuke said nothing, he just looked back at Naruto, who had not stirred once.
* * * * * *
The click of the door shutting indicated that they were gone and Sasuke let out the breath he was holding. Naruto had to be okay, he knew Naruto wouldn't just die without a fight, but in the back of his mind worry still plagued him.
//come on you dobe, you can make it through this, just don't die on me.// He thought bitterly.
Seconds ticked into minutes and minutes into hour,s all the while Sasuke watched Naruto, even the slightest intake of breath seemed like a sign.
Finally however, even staying awake seemed too much of a strain for Sasuke's body and soon sleep tempted him, his eyelids closed slowly and he yawned as he lay down, hearing one last sound before he drifted away... a slightly irritated voice. . . "Sasuke, I told you you'd get your ass kicked."
//Sounds like Naruto// he thought to himself.
//NARUTO?????//
