"I can't continue to live like this dammit!" I screeched out at my best friend. "I'm useless! I'm completly, fucking useless! I couldn't even save him Naruto! I couldn't even save him...!" My words echoed down the abandoned hallway and my body began to shake with sobs.

I slowly slid my back down the pristine hospital wall. I pulled off my surgical cover and flung it to the floor. I began to scream.

"Damn it! Fucking damn it! He died because of me Naruto! Sasuke died, because he protected my useless ass. I couldn't save him either! All those years of training with Tsunade, and I couldn't do a damn thing to keep his heart beating... It was all my fault... All my fault..." I punched and banged my head against the wall, blood covering the stark white wallpaper as my forehead busted open and my knuckles bled.

Naruto said nothing as I ranted and sobbed. Sasuke had been severly injured while he protected me, and he had died because I couldn't defend myself. It wasn't fair... It wasn't fair to myself, it wasn't fair to Naruto, and it damn sure wasn't fair to Sasuke...

Right now, his body lay in a closed operating room. His body cold, and dead. A blanket now covered his once alive body, cutting off his corpse from the room. I had tried to stop the bleeding, but there was nothing that I could do... Sasuke had died... Kakashi sensei was in the intensive care, but Sasuke... Sasuke was dead.

He would never go on to have a family, or avenge his clan's death. He would never get to fall in love, or graduate to Jonin. He would never get to see any of his friends anymore, or acomplish anything in life. He was dead. Stupidly, and forever dead. It was all my fucking fault.

"Damn it..." I sobbed, breaking the words up.

Naruto said nothing, but I could see the small tears fall from his upward direction to the floor, starting a small puddle. My heart broke as I knew that he had lost not only a best friend, but a brother. Something like a bond that ran deep through your being and soul. It was my fault. There was no way that I would come back from this to forgive myself. Hell, Naruto would never forgive me. I had killed his rival, brother, and best friend. I had killed him with my uselessness. It was all my fault.

"Sasuke..." Naruto mumbled brokenly.

That did it.
