Night Watches and Early Mornings
By: Silverwolf
Sasuke glances towards a bed. Itachi sleeps along the bed. The younger Uchiha watches as Hana enters the room. Sasuke watches as Hana takes a seat at the older Uchiha's desk. "Another seizure?" Sasuke nods lightly, "while he was sleeping." Hana nods, "are you planning to keep watch all night now?" Sasuke nods. Hana shakes her head, "that's not practical considering you have school in the..." Hana glances at the clock, "later this morning." Sasuke nods, "I'll survive school." Hana sighs and leaves the room after tapping Kioshi on the head lightly. The older Inuzuka doesn't understand how watching the older Uchiha could possibly help in the situation.
Hana understood the point of a seizure watch if it is someone's first seizure. The veternarian had placed some of her animal patients on seizure watch before. But it was possible for an animal with a history of seizures to not even be admitted to the hospital. And from what she knew of Itachi the history of seizures went back five years; they came about after a tragic accident. Her mother had told her to never mention her knowledge of the accident to eitherof the Uchiha brothers, considering there was probably still some buried pain.

Kailani races through the street in the morning dark. At her side is a Pyrenean Shepherd. The silver canine keeps pace with the teen. The sixteen year old meets up with Naruto during her run. The blonde teen grins at her when he sees the canine. "He's awesome looking." Kailani grins, "he's still a baby, his name is Zero." The Pyrenean Sheperd starts its way towards a lounging sienna feline. Naruto grabs the cat up by the scruff of its neck. The cat narrows its eyes at the blonde teen. "Back inside Kaname. My sister-in-law would kill me if you become Zero's dinner." Naruto shuts the door with the feline inside. Kailani smirks and then starts out again. Naruto joins her. The trio continues the run for almost a half hour. After that the blonde teen walks with Kailani back towards her house. The blonde teen then walks the two blocks home. Shoes are left in the corner as Naruto begins to get ready for school. The blonde makes his way towards his room.

Naruto and Kailani step through the school halls happily. At the sight of Sasuke Kailani grins, "Kangaroo!" The response the teen receives is a lazy wave. Kailani frowns, "something's wrong." Naruto nods, becoming concerned because of Kailani's concern. "He's probably just annoyed Kai." The teen shakes her head, "no something happened and it's still affecting MY Kangaroo." Naruto makes a jealous face. The female teen looks at the blonde, "there's no time to be jealous."
Kailani steps past her closest friend and towards Sasuke. She doesn't see any bruises along the teen. Though she does notice the raven teen shows signs of lacking sleep. "What happened?" Sasuke doesn't look at her. Kailani sighs, "your brother?" Sasuke nods. The raven teen buries his face against Kailani's shoulder. The other teen stiffens a bit. Sasuke nods lightly, but Kailani feels the action. Kailani places an arm around Sasuke, "another seizure?" Once again Kailani feels the slight nod. She sighs lightly and pulls Sasuke a bit closer to her.
The raven teen places an arm around Kailani. The other teen once again stiffens a bit. Kailani kisses the top of Sasuke's head lightly. Sasuke raises his head slightly. Kailani can see the tears. She wipes them away lightly with her thumb. The teen moves slightly to shield Sasuke from Naruto's sight as the blonde teen moves forward.
Naruto looks at Kailani, "he and his dad fight?" Kailani shakes her head, "no. He's been awake I would say most of the night. Which means it's not his father. It's his..." Naruto sighs, "his brother?" Kailani nods. "I would say he sat with his brother all night." Naruto makes a face, "why?" Sasuke remains hidden from Naruto's sight, "he had a seizure."
Kailani turns towards Naruto, "will you help me take him down to Carver's class?" Naruto nods. The female places her arm around Sasuke. Naruto moves forward to help support Sasuke. The pair take the sleepy, raven teen down the stairway to the art class thetrio once slipped into to escape the crowded cafeteria. This time Sasuke sleeps at the desk with his head along Kailani's leg. Naruto and Kailani sit snacking after buying a couple of Pepsi from the teacher. Kailani slips a frozen bottle of water into the pocket o her cargo jeans. "he'll want it later." Naruto nods.
