Beautiful Eyes

Chapter One: Contact

Sometimes I hated myself, hated my looks, hated my life and hated my existence. I sat on this bed all day, everyday, tied to this bed. The man with blond hair, (A teenager?) always came around this time when the sun begun to set. He always brought me flowers and spoke gently to me. Why was he so nice? Why did he bring me such things that I did not deserve?

I sometimes gazed at the flowers he brought, they were always the same flowers, the same scent and the same colors. Always the same pattern as if he feared that if he broke the pattern, I'd remember something I wasn't suppose to. The flowers were beautiful, they were always beautiful, he only brought me the most beautiful ones. I wondered how long he took to pick them for me, I wondered how much times in wracked his hands through those golden locks perplexed for a while before calling over the florist. I sometimes wanted to wrack my own fingers through his hair but, my hands were tied to this bed.

I can't remember his name. Sometimes I'd ask him and he'd tell me in the most gentle voice that I knew his name but because he loved me, he'd keep on telling me what it was. "Naruto" I could not remember his last name but his first name was written in all the books the nurses brought me. I didn't want to forget that name since sometimes I felt that I loved him too. I wanted to make him happy, I wanted him to be proud of me.

There were days that he'd untie me, with the help of a nurse, and I'd whimper as his arms lifted me into a wheelchair. I didn't know why I needed a wheelchair, I often moved my legs. But, when I asked Naruto, he always told me that he wanted to wheel me around and show me different flowers and that if I were walking, he wouldn't be able to show me things. Yet, they still tied my hands to the arm rests of the chair. When I asked him why, he didn't answer.

One time, I was looking out the window and that familiar blond hair walking with someone dressed in a uniform. The man looked mean from what I could see before they disappeared into the building. Where was I? I did not know but I knew this wasn't home, it didn't feel like home. Naruto felt like home and I felt warm when he walked in with the man beside him. He took Naruto's seat and Naruto held my hand.

"Sasuke," Yes, my name is Sasuke. I can't remember what comes after that but the template outside my room has a 'U' inscribed in it. Sasuke U. must be my whole name. "How have you been?" His voice was oddly sweet, why was it so sweet? Not like Naruto's who was warm and hard. I looked over to the blond, who nodded at me to speak to the man.

"I don't know..." I responded, confused at the question. Naruto held my hand tighter, patting it gently before kneeling beside me. "Tell him how you've been please, Sasuke." He said my name so softly and so nice that I couldn't help but think of the flowers and how beautiful they were and how healthy they looked.

"I've been...healthy." I answered, not sure that my answer was okay but the man looked satisfied. I was healthy like the flowers looked. "That's wonderful. Do you remember me, Sasuke?" He asked yet another question and I thought for a minute before shaking my head. No, I don't remember him.

"My name is Kakashi Hatake, you and I have met a couple of times but I do not blame you for not remembering me." He smiled and I stared on. Never recalling meeting such a man before so I held on tight to the tanned hand, feeling nervous and jittery like someone was shaking my brain. "Naruto told me that you've been enjoying the hot weather, I'm glad to hear that." I calmed down, thinking about the warm days the blond would take me out.

"It's very pretty outside. The flowers are nice." I said, humming a bit under my breath. I felt a hot hand brush my bangs away from my eyes, a soft smile on Naruto's face. The man (Kakadhi?) smiled at us and pulled out a little note pad from his back pocket, I looked at it in wonder. Had he (Kakathi?) been sitting on that the whole time? Once I slept on a book and it hurt when I woke up. Naruto tells me that I didn't move the book away because the doctors had put me in such a deep sleep that nothing could take me away from my dreams.

"Do you mind drawing something for me?" He (Kakami?) asked and I smiled, I did want to draw something but, my hands were tied. Naruto's hand pulled away from mine and he mumbled that he'd go ask the nurse. I watched him leave, feeling cold.

"That boy sure is dedicated," the man chuckled and gazed at me. "What are you going to draw for me?"

I thought for a bit, "Beautiful eyes.

Bells rang loudly in my ears, awakening me from the slumber I did not know I had fallen into. My head snapped up and my eyes went wide as the students around me began to clamber up and run out of class for the end of the day. I straightened myself on my seat and glanced outside for a brief moment. A car was oddly parked there, usually, cars weren't allowed in that section but I didn't pay any mind to it as I kept my books.

Class was half empty by the time I was done keeping my things and my phone rang. I had received a message from my friend, Naruto. I read it quickly, he asked me if I was going to come watch him during football practice. I had nothing better to do so I told him I'd meet with our mutual friend Hinata who was dating Kiba, a player on the football team, and then, we'd both come watch them practice.

I walked to my locker where I knew Hinata would be waiting, fiddling with her bag and trying her best to stay out of the bustling students way. I waved at her the moment I saw her with a smile on my face which she returned happily. "Hey, have you been waiting long?" I asked, seeing as I was usually much quicker at getting out of class but falling asleep held me back.

She smiled and shook her head, "I was talking to a teacher so I just arrived." We talked casually as I reached for the lock only to find that it was hanging my it's thin metal, unlocked. I raised my eyebrow and showed Hinata my mangled lock. Someone had broken into my locker.

She held it between her pale fingers, inspecting it. "It looks like someone forced it open." She said

I sighed, "I'm going to have to get a new one now." This usually didn't happen but in a high school, anything could happen. Kids liked to feel rebellious and do things to breach the barrier of their morals. I opened my locker and found that nothing had been taken but, something had a left.

I pulled out the small envelop, it was neatly closed, my name written in italics on the white top. I furrowed my eyebrows and showed it to Hinata who looked flustered and curiously asked me to quickly opened it.

The writing outside matched the inside of it and I felt my heart flutter as I read the note. 'What beautiful eyes you have, my angel. So unfortunate how they do not solely gaze at me.' signed by an M followed by a U.

"The nurse said we can untie him." Naruto came back into the room and I pulled my gaze away from the wall and towards the man who stared at me in confusion. "Sasuke?" He asked and I looked over at him. "Are you alright?"

So many questions, why did he ask so many questions? I felt my heart beat rapidly. The sun was so low in the sky that I felt my eyes droop. "What happened?" Naruto's voice felt distant.

"He zoned out, his eyes were completely blank. I almost called the nurse but I feared that if I left him alone something would happen to him." He told the blond who immediately was at my side, kissing the top of my head and cupping the sides of my face.

Sometimes Naruto gave me these kisses because he told me when someone is scared, small amounts of affection would put their hearts at ease. I heard my heart monitor, the beatings were quick but I did not feel scare, I felt uneasy. Like something was tickling the back of my neck but I could not reach it.

"Naruto...?" I wondered, why was this man here? Was he just here because he wanted me to draw for him? That seemed odd to me. I patiently waited as those strong hands removed the leather straps from around my wrists. The moment they were gone, I reached for the notepad which was carefully handed to me along with a standard pen. Sometimes the nurses would let me write with these, so they were not unfamiliar.

"Kakashi, what are you making him draw?" Naruto wondered as he peered at the beginnings of my work. Oh, so that was his name, Kakashi. I made sure to write it down at the top of the page so I wouldn't forget again. For safety measures, I wrote Naruto's too.

"I'm not making him draw anything," I drew the bridges of eyes, putting in the pupils and the irises. "He said he wanted to draw 'Beautiful Eyes'" Suddenly, the note pad was ripped from my hands and my head snapped up to see why. Naruto looked angry, he looked afraid and he looked like he wanted to rip up my drawing. I didn't understand why.

Kakashi got up from his seat and faced the blond who calmly yet passive-aggressively handed him back the note pad. I begun to cry silently. "I think that's enough." He said, his voice rough and chocked up.

I continued to cry, why wasn't Naruto letting me draw for the man? He got up and bid us both a farewell, promising to return but I no longer wanted him to return. Naruto was angry because of him, and seeing him angry made me sad so it was best if he stayed away.

Naruto kissed my cheek when he was gone and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry we're late!" Hinata said as we entered the gymnasium to find that practice had already ended and Naruto and Kiba were changing out of their clothes. We were really late, we had to go see the principal after reporting that the locker had been broken into but I kept the note to myself, it didn't seem like an issue to me. I got my new lock and new code. By then, it was pretty late.

Hinata kissed her boyfriend and I headed over to Naruto who was pulling his shirt over his head. "Gonna hit the showers?" I asked him with a smile seeing as he was sweaty from his workout. He shook his head, putting on his deodorant. Such a nice smell. "Nah, I wanted to head home quickly so I'll shower when I get home."

"Why are you in such a rush?" I asked and he blushed a little bit, "Sai is waiting for me there." Oh. Sai was Naruto's on and off again boyfriend, often Naruto and he would get into fights and break up but they would always get back together. Sometimes I wondered why they bothered but Naruto always brushed me off and Sai always told me 'the sex was good'.

They were both my friends so when they broke up, we had to hang out separately. Sometimes I'd be with Naruto and he'd talk about how much Sai pissed him off and sometimes I'd be with Sai and he'd tell me how quick he'd find someone else. All I could do was sigh and listen. The note felt heavy in my pocket, my hand twitched over it.

"Someone broke into Sasuke's locker." Hinata announced and all eyes were on her but mine were glued to my pocket. "Oh really?" Naruto said, not sounding too interested.

"Destroyed the lock and all."She said and Kiba asked if they had taken anything. She shook her head and asked me to show them the note so I did with shaking hands. Naruto took it and read it with his eyebrows slowly pulling into a frown.

He glanced up at me and Hinata before balling up the note and tossing it into the nearby trashcan. "Some freak that guy is, want me to walk you home, Sasuke?" He offered, clearly trying to hide his worry but I shook my head. "You need to meet Sai, right? I'm going to head straight home, it's no big deal." I smiled and Hinata touched my shoulder.

"Kiba and I can walk you." I smiled but shook my head, backing away from them before waving. "I'll be fine, see you guys tomorrow!" I called before bolting out of the gym to commence my walk towards home. I lived a good twenty minutes from the school but the weather was nice so I didn't pay any mind to it.

My walk was going as it always did, my feet automatically carrying me in the intended direction but somehow, I felt uneasy. I felt hot in the back of my neck as if someone was staring holes into it. I stopped in my tracks and turned to see the car from earlier a little ways off from me. I turned into the park and I heard a car door close. My heart was jumping in my throat.

"Hey, young man!" A man called me and I kept on walking. "I say you walking a little while ago and how fortunate that we came to the same place." I ignored him and kept on walking.

"My name is Dr. U, I'm a pediatrician from a clinic not to far from here. Are you already seeing a pediatrician?" He asked but I quickened my pace. "Silly me, you look a little too old for a pediatrician but luckily I don't mind taking you in. You have such beautiful eyes."

I took off in a run, I could see my house and my heart was pounding so hard. I fumbled with my keys and slammed the door open and then close behind me.

It was late at night. Naruto was gone already. He said he had to study for the finals that were coming up so he couldn't stay the whole visiting hours. I missed him already, they had tied me hands once again. They thought that if I fell asleep, I'd become violent during my dreams. I didn't think so. The doors opened and someone sat down beside me. I looked but didn't recognize the boy. His hair was black and short.

"Hi, Sasuke." He smiled at me and I smiled back tiredly, it was getting late. "Hi." I replied not knowing who it was but willing to learn. "Do you remember me?" He asked and I shook my head and he looked sad, I wished I had remembered his name.

"My name is Sai, I went to school with you." School, I missed school I think. Naruto went to school, I want to go with him. "I want to go to school." I whispered and he ruffled my hair, looking sad again. Why did everyone look sad?

"I also want you to go to school, baby. But, I don't think you're ready for it." I looked at him in confusion. But he continued on, "You might not ever have to go again. Naruto has a bright future ahead, he wants to be a criminal lawyer. He said that when he graduated he'll marry you and make sure you never have to sleep here again." Sai said and I blushed. The thought of Naruto marrying me felt nice. I wonder if he'd bring me lovely flowers like he always does.

This man – Sai – was really nice. He told me many stories about school, a time when I was there and the current times. He said back then, things were fun. We watched Naruto and someone named Kiba play football often.

"Why did I stop going?" I asked as he spoke about a particular match and his eyes widened and he looked down at his lap.

"Because he came." I don't remember what happened after but when I woke up the next day, my wrist were raw and my throat was sore as if I had been screaming. I don't recall screaming but the doctor came and told me that I had gone into a fit and they had to calm me down so they'd be keeping me on medication for a couple of days. I cried, I didn't want to be gone for a couple of days. I apologized but did not remember what I was apologizing for. All I knew was that, they wouldn't be letting me see Naruto for awhile. I was alone.

I was alone at home, my heart pounding as I looked outside the window between the shutters but found nobody outside so I did my best to distract myself. I sat at the kitchen table, shaking hands scribbling on my homework, everything I wrote was probably wrong but I couldn't stop.

I only stopped when my father came home from work, on the phone with my mother most likely. He was talking about how they would open up a new bottle of wine tonight for dinner. I rushed to my dad who frowned at my face before telling my mother he'd see her when she gets home.

"You look pale, Sasuke. What's wrong?" he wondered and I spewed everything that had happened. My father was a private investigator working for the police, he must have came across many weird ones like the one I had met today but he told me to relax, the man was probably crazy. He said that my older brother, who just got his license would drop and pick me up from school the next day.

I calmed down considerably after that, erasing all of what I had written before and restarting the homework. Mother cooked a good dinner and I ate with my whole family. My brother spoke of university like it was the best thing in the world, my father sipped the wine he was talking about and my mother smiled. Nights like these made up for horrible days like the one I had today.

After dinner, I cleaned the dishes with my mother who told me not to worry. God was here, protecting our family and protecting me. All I had to do was be careful, be very careful and I was going to do so. I was never going to see that man again. Never again.

A week passed and another paper appeared inside my torn open locker.

A week passed before I was open for visitation once again. Naruto was here again with twice the amount of flowers. They were so beautiful, he kissed my tied up hand. He told me he was angry that someone named Sai had cause me pain. Had caused me sorrow but I didn't remember. He wrote the name down and told me not to talk to this person again so I nodded and received a peck on the top of my head.

"Why do you always have flowers?" I asked one rainy day as Naruto dressed the flowers in the vase. He was wearing his usual clothing, he came from school. Oh how I wanted to go too. He looked at me with his dark hazed eyes and said that he always brought flowers because he knew how happy they made me and how when he wasn't there, I could look at them.

"Can you take me to school with you?" I asked and the nurse entered silently, giving me my pills and untying me. I could finally move, I must be calm enough now. I took my pills and waited for his response as the nurse left seeing as I had taken what she had given me. I didn't know what, but they helped me drift to sleep.

He looked at me and sat down, "Why do you want to go to school?" He asked and I thought for a minute or two, "I went before, I remember, I did things like you do. I studied for tests and watched you play," I thought again, "I watched you play football. I want to do that again."

He smiled and patted my knee, "One day, you can go back but not now. Things are difficult now. And it's too soon but you know what, if you'd like, I can bring you a friend who can teach you somethings."

"Is it that Sai person?" He frowned and shook his head, "No. Someone else, you'll love her. Her name Is Hinata."

Hinata was the one who found the letter in my once again busted open locker, I was in the yard with Naruto. He was smoking with Sai and I sat a little ways away from them when I received her message. I started running and I heard them call after me but my ears barely registered the sound of their voices. I stopped when I saw how violently my locker had been ripped open.

'You do not understand how much I want you, how I've always wanted you. To be with you, to be inside you. I love you so much and I know you love me too.' signed M followed by a U.

There was also a flower in the locker, I was shaking and Hinata was trying to comfort me but the image of the man from the other day was vivid in my mind. It couldn't be...there was no way. I hadn't seen hind or hair of him since that day. Was someone messing with me, was it Naruto? Or Sai? Or maybe someone else? I was so afraid.

Naruto and Sai hurried over and the letter was ripped from my hand. Naruto read it. "What the fuck." He whispered,his face turning green and I begun to hyperventilate. "Whoa whoa whoa calm down." He tried to calm himself to calm me down and I shook my head.

"The other week, there was a man." I paused to breathe, "He said strange things to me, he was following me. I think he's the one who keep breaking into my locker."

"Did he tell you his name?" Sai inquired and I told him that the man had simply introduced himself as Dr. U. Sai thought and looked at the paper. "The last name signed starts by a U."

"That's it. We're going to see the principal and I'm taking you home from now on." Naruto snarled, grabbing me by my shaking shoulders and leading me towards the office. Sai said that he'd walk Hinata home now, knowing her father was strict, just in case I wasn't the only one being followed.

The principal, Miss Tsunade had us wait outside for an agonizing thirty minutes while she was in a meeting with another professor. Naruto bit his nails as he passed in front of me, he was worried. It made me worry. "A fucking stalker." Naruto mumbled under his breath and I shivered. "What could he possibly want with me?" I shook, tears pricking my eyes. Naruto pulled me into a hug.

He told me that he'd never let him hurt me, that he'd protect me and that he loved me. I asked about Sai, he couldn't love me because Sai was there. The door pushed open and the professor left, Tsunade asked us to come in and we pulled away from each other.

We told her about the two letter and the person who had followed me. I told her that I thought someone was breaking into the school before the end of the day to put things into my locker. She grabbed the remote and called us around her desk. There, monitors showed recorded videos of the school. She re-winded it and so enough, a man appeared at my locker, his face turned away from the camera. He jammed a crowbar into my locker and ripped it open. He reached in, grabbed my scarf and pulled it to his nose, he smelled it. I cringed. He carefully placed it back along with a letter. She stopped the video.

I was shaking. "It's him! It has to be him! It's Dr. U. Naruto! He's trying to get me!" I cried, wailing and backing away in fear. Naruto grabbed me and held me to his chest. I was shaking uncontrollably.

"I'll take care of this Sasuke. For now, we'll call your father and have the police patrol the area for suspicious activity. He might just be some hooligan trying to bother you, maybe someone angry at your father or perhaps a friend of your brothers. Just calm down for now, and trust me, I'll take care of it." She told me and I nodded numbly.

Naruto and I waited for my father to come, he came and hugged me, telling me that he was going to sort this out and I believed him.

A week passed and everything was fine. Police often patrolled the area and my locker place was changed to a locker deeper inside the school. If someone wanted to come in it, he'd have to come through the school. Tsunade had made sure that the school security patrolled the halls, awaiting anyone looking to hurt students.

A month passed, and I came to school feeling at ease. That was until I came face to face with my friends huddled together. All agitated and angry. I pushed through them and saw Kiba holding Hinata. She had a black eye, her phone was stolen and she was attacked by a man. Hinata was crying.

"Hi, Sasuke!" A cheerful girl came through the door with Naruto. Her face was familiar, I smiled widely, a familiar face was a good thing! I knew this was Hinata, the girl Naruto was talking about. He brought over a second chair and they both sat at my bedside. My hands were untied today, I felt blessed.

I couldn't stop smiling the whole time. She was so nice and she complimented me, told me that I looked better and that she was sure that soon she'd be able to bring me to a place I would love. I asked her what kind of place it was and she showed me a picture that she pulled out of her bag. There in the picture, I stood with her, Naruto and two other boys. One was possibly Sai but the other, I did not remember but I did not ask.

Now, I couldn't wait to get out of here. "When Naruto marries me, do you think he'll come with us?" I asked her and she looked at Naruto who blushed and looked at me confused. "Who told you that?" He asked.

"I think Sai did." I answered and he nodded, not asking any further questions. "Of course, I'm sure Naruto would love to go there again." Hinata finally said and I was ecstatic.

I couldn't wait to get out of here.

Her phone rang.

A/N: I know this is a really horrible move, writing a new story before doing anything about my zombie fic but I started writing a romance in order to get inspiration for the romantic scenes in the survival but then I missed that horror inspiration so here it is. My romantic story is about 14 chapters long and just let me know if I should post it!
