Mentally Yours Chapter Two:
Naruto was being gently rocked back and forth as he sat on Iruka's lap. Iruka was humming a small calming tune, and was really surprised that a sixteen year-old boy could very light. Naruto had stopped crying a few minutes ago, but he was still clearly upset. He would hic-up every now and then. Shizune had dropped off Naruto's pills, and food a few minutes ago. She also informed Iruka that all the other kids were safely in their rooms.
"Naruto," Iruka started, "you should eat something." He said.
"Why?" Naruto asked in a whisper. "Why didn't he help me?" Another whisper.
"Naruto, are you talking about Kyuubi-sama?" Iruka asked.
Naruto nodded, "He always used to help. But he didn't do anything." He sobbed. "He won't talk to me either. He just keeps laughing when I ask why." Naruo informed Iruka. "Iruka onii-chan, can I stay here tonight?" Naruto asked.
Iruka smiled, "You can stay until you fall asleep. Okay?" Naruto nodded.
Naruto was already feeling tired; when he cried he usually got tired afterwards. "Can you hum that song again?" He asked in a whisper as his eyes drooped.
Iruka nodded, and began humming the lullaby his mother used to sing to him. Naruto was asleep in a matter of minutes. Iruka smiled when he saw how peaceful Naruto looked when he was asleep. Iruka lifted Naruto up bridal style once more. Iruka carried him down towards his room. When he opened the door Kiba's head shot up, and he growled. He stopped, however, when he smelt the familiar scent of Iruka and Naruto.
"He just shaken up a bit Kiba. He'll be alright." Iruka informed.
Kiba looked sadly at Naruto, "I should've been there." He whispered. "But I was already in the cafeteria when the commotion started." Kiba sighed, "Now the fucked up Uchiha marked him."
"It's not your fault Kiba. As you said, you were already in the cafeteria when it happened." Iruka said softly.
"Yeah, but I told him I would protect him." Kiba growled softly. "He won't trust me now."
"He will." Iruka said. "He doesn't blame anybody. Now go to sleep Kiba. I have some unfinished business with Uchiha Sasuke."
Kiba nodded and smirked, "Give him Hell Iruka."
Irua gently closed the room door as he walked out. He silently walked down the hallway towards the stairwell that led upstairs. Before he could reach the stairwell he was stopped by Sakura, the pink haired nurse Ino dubbed: 'Forehead'.
"Iruka-sempai, I was just doing checks and I found Lee in Gaara's room again." She said.
"Just leave them be, Sakura. The bonding is helping them." Iruka said.
"But it's against the rules." She muttered.
"Forget the rules Sakura, and continue your checks." Iruka sighed, and began stomping up the stairs. Sakura just nodded, and continued her job. Iruka walked down the long hallway of the seclusion area. He came to the last, heavily guarded room, and he saw Ibiki, Anko, Asuma, and Kurenai guarding the room.
"Good evening everyone." Iruka greeted. He stopped in front of the door that led to the room in which Sasuke was placed. "I'm going in there." He said as he unlocked the door.
"I'll go get Kakashi, because God knows you'll beat Sasuke to a pulp." Kurenai said, and walked towards the staircase.
Iruka entered the white room, and stomped over to the figure who was in the corner of the room. Sasuke was gazing lovingly at the picture of Naruto Iruka let him have. Sasuke would occasionally kiss the picture, and he continuously stroked it with his fingers.
"Uchiha Sasuke. I see they don't even bother to put you in a straight jacket anymore." Iruka said. Sasuke looked up, and smirked at Iruka.
"Good evening doctor. How are you this fine, fine, evening?" He asked; he was still stroking the picture.
"Pissed." Iruka said angrily. "And you are going to be very sore this 'fine, fine evening.'" Iruka hissed.
"I'm already sore Dr. Umino." Sasuke grinned evilly. He spread his legs apart, "Down there." He laughed.
Iruka scowled, and picked Sasuke up by his shirt; he then slammed him against the wall. "You are to stay away from him! I warned you Sasuke!" Iruka whispered harshly to Sasuke.
Sasuke was still smirking, "Iruka. Iruka. You didn't mention when I couldn't stay away from him." Sasuke informed.
Iruka slammed Sasuke against the wall again, "Don't play that game with me Sasuke! You will stay away from him. He is already scarred enough, and he doesn't need your perversion to add more." Iruka said.
"Iruka that's enough." A voice called from the door. Iruka turned around to see Kakashi standing there. "Come on, leave him be."
Iruka slammed Sasuke into the wall one last time, and left with Kakashi. Kakashi led the fuming Iruka down to his (Kakashi's) office. Once in there, Kakashi made Iruka sit down in the chair facing the desk. Kakashi sat down behind his desk. "You need to calm down Iruka. Don't take your anger out on Sasuke. We're all very angry at him now." Kakashi started.
Iruka looked depressed know, "I guess I should apologize." He said. "I really don't know my own strength." He added.
Kakashi looked at Iruka, "Don't apologize. It'll go right to Sasuke's head, and inflate his ego." Kakashi said. "As for your strength, I knew Tsunade had monstrous strength. I just didn't think she would pass it down to you." Kakashi said.
"I'm sorry." Iruka said quietly and lowered his head.
Kakashi got up; he stood in front of Iruka, and lifted his head up. "Don't be Iruka. You know I love every little part of you. You should know that by now." Kakashi smiled.
Iruka blushed, and gave a shy smile. "I knew, but I just wasn't sure."
Kakashi stroked Iruka's cheek, "Iruka-chan, would you like to go on a date with?" Kakashi asked.
Iruka blushed brighter, "Sure." He agreed quietly. Kakashi smiled brightly on the outside, but on the inside he was doing a victory dance.
-------------------------------Scene Break-------------
The clock on the wall in the small room ticked annoyingly, and Kiba wanted to tear it off the wall. Kiba was awake for a reason: He was watching out for Naruto. Kiba didn't want anything else to happen to Naruto. However, Kiba was working against the pills. So right now he was very tired, and his body just wanted sleep. But Kiba was stubborn and refused to sleep.
That didn't last long as Kiba was snoring a minute later. A few minutes after Kiba fell asleep the room door slowly opened, and silently clicked shut. A tall figure hidden by the shadows walked in between the two beds, and turned to face Naruto's. The tall figure crawled onto the bed making it dip under his weight. He slinked over to Naruto's body, crawled under the covers and snuggled up to Naruto.
The movement caused Naruto to stir a bit, but he ignored it and tried to go back to sleep. However, when Naruto felt something wrap around his waist he started to panic. Since he was now fully awake he rolled over to see what was behind. When Naruto saw who was behind he let out a earsplitting scream. It was the creepy guy who attacked him earlier.
Sasuke opened his eyes, and gazed into Naruto's. " Hello Poppet." He greeted with a smirk.
Naruto pushed Sasuke off his bed, and ran towards the door. Sasuke tried to get up to stopped Naruto from leaving, but he was tackled by the now fully awakened, growling Kiba. They wrestled for a bit until Kiba came out on top. By this time, Naruto was running down the hallway.
"I'll do it Sasuke." Kiba growled. "Don't you dare go near him!" He warned.
Sasuke smirked, "You wouldn't do it Kiba. You'll know what I'll do to you if you do."
Kiba smirked back at Sasuke, and let out a sharp, loud howl. That howl caught the attention of the nurse doing the checks. Though, that nurse was all the way down the hall which gave Sasuke plenty of time to pummel Kiba until he was knocked out. Sasuke slipped out of the doorway, and went on the hunt for his prey.
Meanwhile, Naruto was running blindly down the hallways. He was too frightened to scream, and didn't have any breath left to use. Naruto rounded the corner that led to Iruka's office, but he bumped into some one. Uchiha Sasuke.
Naruto gasped. He then pushed Sasuke back, and continued to run down the hallway to Iruka's office. Sasuke, though, grabbed Naruto around the waist. Sasuke hoisted Naruto over his shoulder. Naruto started flailing his arms hitting Sasuke's back. But Sasuke refused to let go.
"It's best if you just cooperate Naru-chan." Sasuke advised.
Sasuke heard rushed footsteps coming down the hallway, and he started to slink away. He snuck his way into the art room with a flailing, screaming Naruto. Sasuke closed the room door, and laid Naruto on the floor. Naruto tired to get past Sasuke, but Sasuke held him back. Sasuke took out some gum he bought early when he escaped, and popped it in his mouth. He chewed it for a while, took it out of his mouth, and stuffed it into the keyhole.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Naruto wailed frantically. He tried to scratch Sasuke, or anything else to get free.
Sasuke patted Naruto on the head, "Sorry Naru-chan, but I can't do that." He said.
Naruto swatted Sasuke's hand away, "Don't touch me!" He shouted. "Let me go!" Naruto demanded.
Sasuke, however, got distracted when he decided to barricade the door with tables. Once he was done Sasuke focused his attention the quivering Naruto. When Sasuke advanced on Naruto, Naruto retaliated by kicking Sasuke in the leg.
Sasuke tried to pout, "Everyone is abusing me today. I wonder why?"
"I hate you!" Naruto shouted. "You hurt me, and scared me! I hate you!" He continued shouting. "Iruka and the others will get in, and take you away again." Naruto said.
Sasuke chuckled, "No, I don't think so." He said as he took out the art room key form his pocket. "They'll have to fin the spare key first. Then they'll have to try to the key through the bubblegum lock. Finally, they'll have to get past my barricade." Sasuke grinned like a madman.
Naruto glared at Sasuke, "You're lucky Kyuubi doesn't come out. He would kick your ass." Naruto huffed.
"Kyuubi?" Sasuke repeated. "Oh, I see. You're like Gaara." Sasuke gripped Naruto's chin, "Maybe Kyuubi doesn't come out because he likes me." Sasuke suggested. "You should ask him." Sasuke said.
Naruto bit Sasuke's thumb as it skimmed over his (Naruto's) chapped lips. "Stay away from me!" Naruto commanded. Naruto sat down in a corner far away from Sasuke. He pulled his knees up to his chest, and hugged them. Naruto kept his eyes on Sasuke though.
There was a sudden jiggling of the doorknob, and a frantic voice from the other side could be heard. "Naruto! Are you in there?" It called.
Naruto recognized the voice as Iruka's. Naruto's head perked up, "I…mmmph!" His voice was cut off when a hand covered his mouth.
Sasuke whispered in Naruto's ear, "Keep quite little Naru-chan. I wouldn't want them to know you're in here." He chuckled softly.
Naruto tried to wiggle his way out of Sasuke grip, but no avail. The door was kicked open by Iruka with his monstrous strength. "UCHIHA SASUKE!" He yelled. "Let Naruto go!" He ordered. Other nurses filled into the room behind Iruka.
"I didn't harm him." Sasuke mentioned as he stood up. His grip on Naruto was firm. "All I wanted to do was spend time with my love." Sasuke said in an innocent sounding voice. Sasuke was smiling like he always did.
Though, Sasuke's smile didn't last long when a pink haired blob attached itself to his waist. Sakura clung to Sasuke, "Sasuke! Thank God you're not harmed!" She cried.
"Sakura get your hands off of me." Sasuke ordered. "Why would I be harmed? I'm never harmed." He pointed out.
Sakura sobbed into Sasuke's shirt, "I read Uzumaki Naruto's file." She whispered. "He is a monster like Gaara." She said in the same whisper.
This did not pass by Naruto. He heard what Sakura said, and felt the area arounf his belly button bubble. He hated when people called him a monster. Monsters were things that hid under beds or in closets. Naruto was not a monster. Anger flooded through Naruto, and he felt himself losing control.
Things happened in a flash. One moment Sakura was clinging onto Sasuke, and the next she was on the ground. Naruto had his hands around her throat, and he was laughing. His eyes narrowed gaining a sinister look.
Kyuubi had come out.
-----------------------------------------------------------End Chapter Two----------------------
Man I feel bad. I really picked on Sasuke in this chapter. Hope I didn't make any people hate Iruka. don't worry, Iruka plays a major part in Sasuke and Naruto getting together. I always feel like I rush Kakashi and Iruka into a relationship. Oh well.
Next chapter: Iruka and the others have to find a way to contain Kyuubi. Tsunade comes to the hospital. Something happens with Gaara and Lee. And Naruto and Sasuke finally begin to connect.
Thank you to all who reviewed. I was surprised I got thirty-some reviews for one chapter. I'm glad you all like it. Even if some of you didn't like the Lee/Gaara pairing. But I like it than Neji/Gaara. I'm more of a Neji/Tenten fan. Sorry. It's your opinion, and I'm not trying to change it.
I hope you all had fun reading this chapter. Naruto fought back, and I couldn't resist putting 'hello poppet' in here because I saw the second Pirates of the Caribbean. Remember to review, and constructive criticism is always welcomed. Thank you!
