This is not a sequel to Two Hearts, but a continuation. Reason it's under a different fic is because I have a feeling that some people like the ending of Two Hearts just the way it is. For the new readers, I supposed you can go ahead and read this without reading TH first; most questions will be answered eventually in here (and just ping me if there's any curiousity)

Warnings: Expect some OOCness, unexpected things and unexpected pairings in this fic (will be revealed as we go along). And yes, there will be some yaoi goodness in later chapters, so don't read on if you have problems with it.

Summary: (cont. of Two Hearts) Find out how Sasuke and Naruto's lives turned after the accident (AU, multi-pairings)

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto & co- they belong to Masashi Kishimoto. Unbeta-ed.

Chapter 1: Awake

The news travelled fast; not even the rainy day outside could dampen it. It's probably expectable since the one involved in the accident was none other than one of the heirs to the Uchiha Customized Watches. The handsome young lad was not only famous due to his ruthlessness in business but also for his designs of the watches the company made.

Of course, it was always being compared to the next-in-line heir, Uchiha Itachi; who was also Sasuke's older brother and the first born in the Uchiha family.

However, amid the news about the accident whispered and talked about in the first class society, none of them bore the information about one Uzumaki Naruto.

It was like he was never existed.

With the news of the accident, people came and went to visit him in the hospital. But the whole 3 and half weeks Sasuke floated in and out of consciousness; never once he stayed awake long enough to acknowledge his visitors. He's being given the first class treatment and management at one of the best private hospital- even the wing that he's been placed was named after the Uchiha for the contribution they gave to the hospital to save the young Uchiha's life.

It was sunny outside today, but inside one particular room, the machines beep eerily; wires and tubes attached, almost crisscrossing on the arms, chest, nose and mouth of Uchiha Sasuke. He was no longer in the Intensive Care Unit and in fact had been stabilized for a couple of days. But still, he was still heavily monitored by the nurses and doctors.

There was no visitor yet today. The soft blue room was a bit colder than usual albeit the bright sunny day outside. A sudden intake of breath was heard beneath the oxygen mask; eyelids fluttered opened slowly and painstakingly-

Only to reveal warm black underneath it.

His throat was raw; hoarse and dry. Sasuke coughed as realization hit him- something had been shoved down his throat making his gag reflex kicked in. The moment the violent movement took place, his head and his whole body ached; ribs pushing his lungs inwards painfully.

Sasuke panicked.

Flashes of images ran before his eyes; choppy, blurry and too fast. The headache and aching and pain all over making him trashed- or at least he tried to trash against the memories that were being presented to him too fast; choking and drowning him till his eyes were prickling and tears gathered.

"Naruto!" he gasped; hands trying to reach out for something but his battered body refused to follow his every command. The panic and fears escalated.

The sudden changes made wild beeping noise, alerting the doctors and nurses outside the room. It was too loud for Sasuke; like something heavy was pounding against his eardrums, thumping against his skull and his headache worsen.

"Stop!" he pleaded silently; vocal chord refusing to produce any kind of sound.

Not a moment later, doctors and nurses rushed in, hovering over him and busying about him; checking every little thing. Something must have been given to him as his eyes suddenly rolled back and eyelids fluttering close again.

He fell into that blackness again, noises were shut down as everything ceased into non-existence.

Only one word he remembered before he gave into the slumber-

Naruto!

The next time Sasuke's eyelids fluttered open, blurry images of someone stepped into the room greeted him. He focused his eyes and it became clearer. The two figures in front of him suddenly stopped as he blinked his eyes.

"Sasuke… you're awake…" Iruka-sensei greeted him with a warm smile.

"Welcome back, Sasuke," Kakashi who was right behind Iruka nodded to him.

The raven-haired wanted to greet them too but his throat was raw. "Water…" he croaked and the teacher quickly helped him to get it. Iruka handed the glass as Kakashi propped Sasuke a bit higher on the bed.

Both males sat down on the chairs next to Sasuke's bed, waiting for the raven-haired to settle down.

Sasuke wetted his chapped, dry lips; noticing that he's wearing the same shade of soft blue hospital gown and the blanket that was drawn up to his chest pooled above his waist when Kakashi helped him up. He also felt a tight but comfortable bandage on his head, tubes and IV drips were present on both of his arms.

They were irritating but it couldn't be help at the moment, so Sasuke shrugged it off.

It took him a moment before he realized something was horribly wrong; he couldn't feel his legs. The touch sensation only gave him feedback till about his lower hips and then it's gone.

Sasuke gulped, swallowing the tears.

But even as the realization dawned on him, his mind was more worried about something- or rather someone else. Sasuke looked at Iruka pleadingly; black orbs fill with worries, fear and dread.

"Naruto…"

The room was suddenly eerie silent. Iruka bowed his head and Kakashi looked away. That alerted Sasuke as panic shot up.

"Naruto, where is he?! Is he okay?! Answer me!"

Tears gathered as Iruka and Kakashi kept silent. Sasuke feared for the worst; something inside him wilted away- very fast.

Please no!!

"Iruka-sensei… please! Tell me, where's Naruto?!"

"I'm sorry, Sasuke…" Iruka made strangle and chocking noise. "I'm so sorry!" he whispered in agony.

Sasuke's eyes widen at this. No… No, this couldn't be happening! This was not real! Naruto was here somewhere!

When Iruka and Kakashi still giving him the silent treatment, Sasuke's black eyes dimmed. He didn't even realize that tears fell onto his ivory cheeks and down to his chin. It didn't matter if he could no longer walk anymore. It didn't matter if he was still alive.

It just didn't matter anymore. Nothing mattered.

Because from that second on, Uchiha Sasuke had just died.
