Sanity: Chapter Three: Level two
"Why can't I have my clothes?" Shikamaru asked, as a gray-haired man handed him one of those ghastly hospital gowns.
"That's the way it goes on this level. You'll get your clothes back in a week, unless your behavior is bad." The medic informed him. "Follow me, I'll show you where everything is."
The man began walking down a hall, and the brunette followed a bit hesitantly. "These are the rooms, dorms, more or less. Nobody gets their own room, unless a patient leaves, at which point we'll either bring in someone else, or move someone in from a different level. If you're caught in another person's room without permission, you'll get your doors locked at night. Which means no bathroom breaks, no matter how bad you have to go."
Shikamaru nodded, he didn't think he'd be in anyone elses room anyway. "Where am I staying?"
"I'll show you that in a bit. But first, this is the shower room. Notice there's no curtains or walls? That's so none of you get the idea that you can hide in the shower and hurt yourselfs. Also, it makes it easier for me to keep an eye on all of you. You don't get to do anything by yourself here, not eat, not sleep, not bathe, not even piss. And if you step out of line, it'll get worse."
Kakashi lead the boy into a bigger room, almost like a living room. There were several couches, and a television that was off. Quite a few patients sat on various couches, including a dark haired boy with trance-inducing light eyes.

"N-neji-san.. F-father wants you.. t-to.. come.. down f-for dinner.." The Hyuuga girl finally spit out from the other side of Neji's door, touching her index fingers together shyly.
"I'de rather not come down tonight, tell him I'm not hungry." Came the quick, monotone reply.
"Well, I-i.. brought you..some.. f-f-ood, incase you didn't want to come." The door clicked, obviously the brunette had unlocked it. "H-here.." She offered as she pushed the door open, avoiding her cousin's gaze as she held out the plate she'd carried.
"Hn.." Neji replied softly, turning back to his desk and setting down the plate. He rarely left his room anymore, he didn't need to. He had a bathroom connected to his room, and he didn't even go to school anymore. If the Hyuuga did go, people would bump into him, and he wanted to avoid all other human contact as much as possible.
-
The noise in the hall was too much, the hustle of everybody around him was too much. Neji could feel his walls falling down, that was a bad thing.. He couldn't be safe if people could touch him. A student walking to class bumped into his shoulder, and without warning, the Hyuuga sat on the floor, tucking his knees against his chest in an attempt to shield himself from everyone else.
"Hey, are you ok?" The same student put his hand on Neji's shoulder, and he flinched, pushing away from whomever it was.
"Go away..! Don't touch me, go away..!"
-
(I don't really know what to do with neji.. but just so you know, he's a sociopath)
"This is the sitting area, you'll all eat here, watch TV here, sit here.. do stuff here. And its were you come when we do the med call."
"Med call?"
"Yes, med call. You all take medicine, every day, three times a day."
Shikamaru sighed.
-
Shikamaru couldn't help but feel unnaturally naked as he stood in the middle of the shower room, he couldn't belive he was naked in a room full of naked guys. This was horrible.. He knew he should have killed himself. His shoulders tensed as he felt a cold finger run along his lower back, whatever this pervert's problem was, Shika didn't know, but he was about to kick the guy in the balls if he didn't quit.
"You have a nice ass.." The sultry voice whispered in his ear. That did it, the brunette turned around.
"What the hell is your problem? Fuck off, would ya?"
"Only if you watch.." The black haired teen stated, some kind of smirk playing across his lips. "Would you like to watch? Or would you prefer to do it for me?"
"Get the hell. Away. From me." It was bad enough that Shadow had to watch him bathe.. but now he had this perv? Shikamaru turned back around, leaning under the warm water. A gasp caught in his throught as he felt a strong hand slipping around to touch him.. there. He couldn't help his reaction, his elbow flew back into the pale teen's stomach.
"Uchiha. Nara. Stop it." The gray-haired medic called from the doorway, his nose buried in an orange book.
"Fucking chill, Kakashi.. I'm just having fun. He's a noob, what else am I suppoused to do?"
"You're suppoused to leave him the hell alone like he asked.."
The Uchiha sighed, rolling his eyes and stalking back over to where he previously stood, which was next to a very strange looking teen with long brown hair and enticing white eyes. The same teen Shika had first noticed. He felt a bit of sympathy for the boy, as the dark-haired pervert who'de just harrassed him moved to push their bodies flush together.
"Stop it, Sasuke.." Neji commanded, his voice barely above a whisper. He really didn't like Sasuke.. sucks they were roomed together..
"Oh, but Neji.. Your skin is so soft.. let me touch you." The pale teen stated in a deep voice, one that highly resembled that of a perverts, which matched Sasuke very well. Sasuke's gently pushed Neji into the wall, clawing his nails down his soft chest.
"I said stop it.." The Hyuuga pushed his hands between them, making any and every attempt to get the younger teen off of him. "Leave me alone.."
"I wanna kiss you, Neji.." And Sasuke did just that, he caught Neji by the chin, holding him still as he roughly crushed their lips together.
Neji felt something deep inside his stomach snap, and he dug his nails deep into the side of the Uchiha's neck, pushing his face away. "I SAID DON'T TOUCH ME!!" He screamed, his voice startling himself, along with the rest of the males in the shower room.
Kakashi stuffed his book into his pocket, padding through the small puddles of water over to the two teens. "Uchiha.. you've showered, now dry off and get back in your room. Stay there for the rest of the day, I'll bring your dinner to you."
Sasuke grumbled something incoherent and made his way over to the stack of towels by the door, wrapping one around his waist and walking down the hall to his room. What the fuck did he care if anyone saw his ass?
"Hyuuga, you alright?" Kakashi asked, Neji seemed a bit frightened at the moment.
"Yeah.. I'm okay, I guess.." The Hyuuga answered, his eyes on the ground. "Do I have to go back to my room tonight? Can't I stay with Uzumaki or something?"
The gray haired man nodded, he wouldn't want to stay in a room alone with Sasuke for a whole night either. "Alright boys, hurry up. Water's going off in one minute.."
-
(Sasuke's a delusional pervert.. does anyone else see the irony in that? lol)
Shikamaru took a seat in his usual place in the small cafeteria, next to the skinny boy he was roomed with. Over the past week he'd made a habit of watching the brunette not eat, just pushing around the food and glaring at it with distaste. It wasn't like Shika was stupid, he knew what was wrong with him..
"Yaknow, the foods not so bad. You should try it." He offered, scooping up some of the soup he'd been given with the plastic spoon.
"Nah.. I'm not hungry."
"They'll only keep you here longer if you don't eat."
Chouji looked away, he knew the rules. Every day he didn't eat was another day he'd be stuck there. "Yeah.. I know, I just don't really have any motivation.."
"Motivation? You mean they don't try to convince you to eat?" The brunette asked, his hair fell just to his shoulders. Kakashi had taken away his pony-tail holder, something about harming one's self with it.. Who could possibly hang themselves with a rubberband?
"Not really.. I mean, they're always like.. "Eat, Chouji.. you're only making yourself skinnier.." but.."
Shikamaru sighed, shrugging his shoulder's visibly. It was wrong, wearn't these places suppoused to help people get better? For some reason, he felt it was his responsibilty to make sure this kid got some food down his throat. "Well, I'll motivate you.. For every meal you skip, I'll skip one too.. and maybe my body will just give out one night and I'll die. How does that sound?"
The skinny-teen looked up at the other. The last thing he wanted to do was kill someone along with himself.. "No, thats not.. good."
"Then eat something."
With a sigh, Chouji picked up his spoon, pushing around the contents of his soup for a brief moment before scooping up a bit and practically forcing himself to eat it. He wrinkled his nose to show his dissapproval of the meal, but swallowed it none-the-less. It felt weird sliding down into his stomach, and he had to resist the urge to gag.
-
(yeah, I know Shika-kun was suppoused to be the main focus, but.. I can't seem to want to leave Sasuke alone, I just gotta have him like.. lose it or something..)
The sheets underneath him were cold, he wasn't too pleased with that. Sasuke turned on his side, his dark eyes searching for the blonde idiot he knew was around this damned room somewhere. He felt like trying to piss one of Naruto's personalities off, he hadn't had a rise out of the horribly scarred teen in a few weeks.
"Naruto?" He called into the room. A few seconds later, a shuffling was heard from underneath the bed, and Sasuke leaned over the side of the mattress to see what the bother was. Of course.. it was the idiot curled up, trying to sleep on the damned floor. "What the hell are you doing, moron?"
Blue eyes peeked up at him. "I can't sleep with you.. and Neji's in my bed.. it seemed nice under here."
"Yeah, and you're a fucking moron."
"Shut up..! You're the one that invited me over here anyway, bastard."
Sasuke climbed from the bed, reaching underneath the metal frame and pulling the moron by his arm out. "Get the hell out from under my bed, go sleep in Neji's, and be the fuck quiet so I can go back to sleep.."
"But you're the one that started the conversation..! What the hell are you talking about?"
"Nothing.. I'm not talking about anything.. just.. be quiet."
Naruto sat up quickly, a odd gleam in his eyes. "Do you wanna do something?"
"Yeah, sleep.."
"No.. I mean something."
"No.." The pale teen replied stoicly as he climbed back into his bed.
"Why not? I mean, arn't you like.. super horny all the time?"
"No.."
"You're a bastard.. I'm going back to my room.."
-(oh god, its the angst oh no!)
Sasuke turned over in his bed, the sun filtering in through the barred window burned his eyes. He glanced over into Neji's bed, seeing a familiar tuft of blonde hair sticking up out of the blankets. He could've sworn that idiot had left last night.. something was wrong, he could feel it.
"Naruto?"
The body didn't move, and Sasuke pushed up in his bed. "Naruto?" He called a bit louder. He slid from the bed, his blankets falling to the floor behind him. "Naruto, answer me, idiot. You're not being funny."
Still nothing. "Look, fucking moron. I hate your stupid games, you better fucking answer me now." He stepped closer to the bed, and gently shook Naruto's shoulder. His skin was colder than normal. Sasuke's breath stopped in his throat.
No, this wasn't real. He rolled the blonde over, the tan expression calm and somewhat peaceful. "N-naruto?" His voice was cracked. Blood was pooled around Naruto's stomach, his wrist craddled against himself. There were visible gashes all along the tan arms.
"No..." He breathed, "No.. Naruto, wake up.."
He backed up, turning and heading to the door. He quickly pulled it open, stepping out into the hall way. "Kakashi!! Fix it, fix it now!!" He screamed, his fist balled by his sides. He wasn't going to cry, because he knew Naruto could be fixed. All it would take was some stitches and a blood donar, and the blonde would be back to his normal self.. "Kakashi, dammit, I know you hear me! Fix it!"
The gray-haired medic approached the screaming teen, concern evident on his features. "What happened?" He asked, pushing past the pale boy into the bedroom. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary..
"What do you mean 'what happened'? He's fucking dying!" Sasuke screamed back at him, gesturing to Naruto's lifeless body in Neji's bed. "Make him okay again, dammit! I like to talk to him!"
"Sasuke, what are you talking about?"
"No, shut up! Shut up and make him better!" The Uchiha could feel his tears stinging his cheeks, and he wiped at them furiously, storming over to the blonde and climbing into the bed next to him. He pulled the limp body against his chest. "Please just make him better." He whispered, biting his lip hard enough to draw blood.
"Come on Sasuke.. Lets go see Iruka." Kakashi offered, making an attempt to roll the pale boy, clinging to nothing, over so he could figure out what he was talking about.
"No.. Just make Naruto better.. That's all I'm asking for, I'm not being bad!"
The taller male pulled him a little harder, pulling him out of the bed by his arm. "Come on, Sasuke.. Let's go see Iruka."
"I said I'm not being bad! Naruto's hurt and you won't make him better, make him better dammit!" Sasuke tugged his arm, hoping to slide out of the grip, but his attempt was unsuccesful, only resulting in hurting the bone in his wrist. "I'm not being bad, let me go!" The pale teen used his free hand to repeatedly punch Kakashi's arm, trying desperatly to get back to the blonde he only pretended to hate.
"Sasuke, calm down. I didn't say you were in trouble."
The struggle continued, the pale teen grew more violent by the second. After nearly a minute, a nurse had heard the shouting and came to see what the bother was. Thinking quickly, she pulled out a syringe. Kakashi seemed to have the boy still enough for her to sedate him, so she went for it, getting the side of his arm and injecting in the clear fluid.
After a few more seconds of kicking and punching, Sasuke relaxed against Kakashi's body, his tears visibly flowing. "I just wanted you to fix him.." Was the last thing he managed to force out before he went completly limp.
-
The first thing Sasuke tried to do when he woke up was rub his face, only to find his arms strapped to the bed he was on. Several needles where shoved in his arm, one in his hand, and another in the bend of his arm. He didn't like them there, and if he had function over his arms, he'd rip out the damn things. His thoughts strayed to Naruto, hoping the blonde was alright, though he knew deep within his heart, he was dead. This knowledge disturbed him, and he struggled against his bindings.
"You're awake.."
The voice startled him, and Sasuke looked up, half expecting to see a nurse or someone. But it was far worse than that. "I-itachi..."
Cold hands brushed his hair out of his face, fingers lingering on skin of an equal shade. "Please don't start screaming, I'm not here to hurt you.." He stated softly. The last time he'd been for a visit, he'd caused Sasuke to just.. loose it, and freak out, screaming at him about how he'd killed their parents.. but it wasn't true, their parents were still alive.
Sasuke's dark brows furrowed, turning his head away from the cool fingers. "I hate you.. you know that?"
Itachi pulled back his hand, looking away to hide the hurt in his eyes. "I.. I know that. I heard what happened, you're friend's fine."
"Don't lie to me.. I wouldn't doubt that you had something to do with it.."
The older Uchiha reached out, grabbing Sasuke's chin and turning his head to face him. "Listen to me, I haven't killed anyone.. Mom and Dad are still alive, that kid's still alive. Nothing even happened to him.."
"Then I'm crazy.."
"Why are you here?"
Silence swallowed them, Itachi released his grip, only to stand up and press a soft kiss to his brother's forehead. He couldn't do this, he couldn't watch his brother's sanity slowly wither away. It wasn't fair..
Just as he was about to open the door, he heard the younger teen speak.
"Itachi.. am I crazy?"
Itachi didn't answer, he just left the room. How could he tell his brother he really did think he was crazy?
