👉 Hello, this will be my first official published story. Sorry for the inconvenience and let's go on and continue ... *curtain raises* 👈

Chapter 1: Flashback and Regret.

" Give the girl back, and your life shall be spared. " One of the four black coated people said.

" Okay, okay but please do not kill me ! " the rebel ninja cried. He then let the girl go, but smirked at the same time.

" Fools ! " he yelled at the black coated people, as he threw a bomb right after the girl had ran.

One of the black coated men ran for the girl, and the other one revealing a spark of raven hair. He grabbed the rebel ninja and threw him to the ground. " Naruto ! " another black coated person yelled, revealing bright pink hair. " He's unconscious, we need to get him to a hospital quick ! " She screamed.

The raven, seeing his blonde companion on the ground unconscious by the rebel ninja's bomb. Made his blood boil with anger, drew out his shiruken and shoved it deep in the stomach of the rebel ninja. " Hehehe.. " the ninja laughed. Which made the raven angrier, and finally slit his throat. He continued to stab the dead ninja's body.

" That's enough, Sasuke. " a man said.

Sasuke couldn't stop, this man had hurt Naruto, and he had the decency to laugh.

" Sasuke.. stop it, we need to get Naruto to a hospital. " the pink haired ninja said, while the she blushes lightly.

Sasuke finally, stood up and took Naruto into his back then started running towards the konohoa hospital.

- Sasuke P.O.V. -

" If I had been a second faster, he wouldn't be in this condition. "

" Sasuke-kun, there is no one to blame. Naruto wouldn't want us to be sulking and taking pity in him. In fact, he would want to hear us- "

Sasuke interrupted her, " Sakura do you not understand ? Naruto, CANT HEAR US ANYMORE ! "

- 1 hour before. -

" Are you the team members of Uzumaki Naruto ? " the doctor approached the four ninjas.

" Yes we are. " Kakashi - sensei said.

" Uzumaki will be alright, but because of the explosion he has lost his hearing. There is a chance of him hearing again, but it's a small chance. " the doctor said.

I could feel it. A mixture of sadness and anger overflowing my entire body. I had leave, I had to see Naruto.

" Dammit ! " I yelled as I punched a wall.

" Why ? If only I had been faster, Dammit ! "

- Present. -

" I'm sorry, Sasuke-kun. " Sakura said in a low voice.

" I only wanted, to make you feel better. " she added.

" You did the opposite. " I stared at her codly. I started walking up to the receptionist.

" Uzumaki Naruto, I would like to see him. " I said, more like demanded instead of asking for permission.

Her cheeks burned up bright pink, " S-sure he is in room 105, T-take the elevator and up the- "

" I know where the room is. " I interrupted her.

The way to the room, was painful. Not physically, I imagined Naruto in bed. Unable to hear anything reminded me of how I failed terribly.

*Knock, knock* I didn't hear a word or noise in response. Of course, ' Naruto can't answer you idiot. ' I thought.

I opened the door and before I could stop myself the words came out of my mouth.

" Hey, dobe. " I said.

" Sasuke, Can you speak a little louder ? " Naruto asked.

I couldn't help but frown. I walked up to his bed and sat next to him.

I took his palm, and was overwhelmed by his warm and smooth hands. I then, started to trace letters on the palm of his hand.

H-E-Y D-O-B-E

" Geez, Sasuke just tell me don't make such a scene. " Naruto said.

He then gripped my hand.

" S-sasuke ?! I can't hear my voice! Sasuke, what's going on ! "

I wanted to cry. I couldn't stand to see him nervous like this. So I took his hand again.

Y-O-U C-A-N-T H-E-A-R A-N-Y-M-O-R-E

I waited patiently for a reaction. And when I did get one, I wished I never told him.
