Bold means flash back Italic means thought

Chapter Two: Casted Memory

"You can run but you can't hind! Where ever you go I'll find you and bring you back, you can't get away from me Sasuke!"

The words echoed in Sasuke's head as he lay in the hospital bed.

The words were Naruto's, Naruto who had tried to stop him, Naruto who had tried to understand him, Naruto whose blood was all over his hands.

He had tried so hard to forget the battle that happened only two days ago, the battle that could have cost him his life, or worse Naruto's.

The memory ran though his head yet again and the more he tried to forget the more it consumed him.

"Move out of my way Naruto!" He spat out through gritted teeth.

"NO! Not until you come back!" Naruto stood his ground firmly and stared back at Sasuke, his blue eyes etched with determination.

"MOVE NARUTO!" His words echoed through the air leaving poison in their wake as they moved toward Naruto.

"Or what! What Sasuke, what will you do?!" Naruto's words were fierce, cutting even.

'Kill him!' The words were fresh and comforting even. 'All I have to do is kill Naruto!' The thought scared him, as much as it was comforting to think he could just dispose of Naruto and walk away, the truth was he couldn't.

Naruto who was his best friend, Naruto who had tried to save him, Naruto who would have died saving him.

"I'll kill you Naruto! I'll destroy you!"

Naruto's eyes filled with shock even hate, but Sasuke couldn't even believe his own words. He was willing to kill his best friend all for power. All to be his bastard of a brother.

"Then so be it!" Naruto whispered dangerously lunging at him, his katana in hand.

Sasuke let out a sigh he hadn't realized he was holding in.

'I almost became a killer!' The thought cut at him, it was almost as bad as losing his clan.

At that he gripped the sheets his knuckles turning white.

'Itachi killed my clan! That bastard!' Sasuke closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.

The flare of chakra outside of the door caused Sasuke to be on alert and when the door opened two voices were heard. One Sasuke knew as Kakashi's but the other was different soft yet mesmerizing it was female, but before Sasuke got a chance to finish analyzing the second voice the door shut.

Sasuke's eyes were closed and he hoped that Kakashi would get the hint and leave, but of course he stayed.

"You know if you really want a convincing act I suggest something else." Kakashi's tone was light, playful even but Sasuke felt seriousness radiate off his Sensei that wasn't there moments ago.

"You didn't get the hint…" Sasuke murmured quietly.

Kakashi was quiet for a minute as if deciding whether or not to leave, but seemed to decide against his better judgment.

"There are things that need to be discussed Sasuke…" It wasn't a question bidding Sasuke to argue but a statement.

"Like what happens next? I'm already considered a missing-nin." Sasuke said tightening his grip on the sheets.

"True yes…and if they wanted to they could call this-" Sasuke cut him off already knowing the answer.

"An act of treason…" Kakashi nodded and stared at him.

"But since there was no real damage, no one was killed, nothing was exactly lost or destroyed they can't be to hard on you. And the Hokage herself knows exactly how easy it really is to be manipulated by Orochimaru." Kakashi watched as Sasuke winced at the sound of Orochimaru's name.

"And you?" The question was dry and Sasuke himself seemed to be losing interest in all of this.

"I'll do my best at…helping and protecting your case at all cause's." Sasuke nodded and turned away from his Sensei.

There were several moments of silence where Sasuke had hoped Kakashi left, but upon opening his eyes he found Kakashi staring right back at him.

"What happened Sasuke?" It wasn't a question but more of a statement and he knew he had no choice but to answer Kakashi.

"You mean with me and…wait! Where's Naruto!" His last words were tumbling out of his mouth before he could help himself.

Kakashi smirked. "Naruto is fine, he's in Intensive care but seems to be recovering quickly." Kakashi watched, as Sasuke seemed to sink back into the bed.

"I almost killed him…" Sasuke whispered.

Kakashi sighed and looked at him.

"We fought and he tried to bring me back…" He sat up quickly and rubbed his eyes.

"He told me I was being selfish, told me Orochimaru was only using me as a container and that I would…never beat Itachi like this! That he would destroy me before I could even get to Orochimaru."

"And so you fought?" Kakashi eyed Sasuke as he lied back down.

"Yes. I slammed a chidori through his chest and stomach."

Kakashi nodded, that was the main reason Naruto was in ICU. And from what the nurse had told him, it was a miracle Naruto was alive. But this had not surprised Kakashi at all; Naruto was the Kyuubi carrier after all.

"And that was it? You fought?"

Sasuke nodded.

Kakashi sighed and looked at Sasuke seriously yet in a fatherly manner.

"You have to make a choice Sasuke."

"I know…" He murmured quietly.

Kakashi shook his head.

"No I don't think you do. You have two choices as of now, you can give up and go to Orochimaru and be used as a container or you can do this the hard way work and train."

Sasuke sighed.

"I'm not running away again." He murmured softly.

"Good then I'll see you tomorrow at noon, we have a appointment with the Hokage." Kakashi stood and started to walk out the door.

"Oh and Naruto's room number is 302…"

Sasuke looked at Kakashi questionably.

"Just in case, you know."

And with that the door shut.

A/N: There it is! Take it or leave it! Personally I like this chapter, with Kakashi being all fatherly. So don't FORGET to R&R! PEACE! Love you all 4ever!

In Near Future: "You tried to kill me…" Naruto's voice was soft, sad even.

And now Sasuke was wishing he hadn't even come.
