NEWS LOVE chapter 10

Sasuke finally took the last few steps and entered the bright room. He closed his eyes and opened them slowly, waiting for them to adjust. He felt hands on him and he immediately freaked. He thrust his eyes open and looked around. People were looking at him, eyes full or worry and some of horror.

"Hey! Sasuke!" Kiba came rushing forward, he quickly closed the door behind them, preventing the warm air in the room from escaping. A few other came forward, whispering about their condition and observing the blood marks on Sasuke's back.

"Some one tell the chief that they're here! Move it!" Sasuke saw a few scramble down the hall. He sighed and gently set Naruto down off the floor. The blond was breathing rapidly, a fine sheen of sweat coating his brow. Kiba came forward and looked over him.

"Shit, we need a first aid kit and fast! Neji, there should be one in the supply room, get it will ya?" Neji nodded and went down another hallway. Sasuke looked at Kiba.

"How did you know we were going to be here?" Kiba looked up from the panting Naruto.

"Believe it or not, we figured you would immediately leave the elevator, we heard it crash. It shook the whole damn building! Honestly, I was scared shitless when I thought you guys were still in it. From the way you were running up the stairs, its hard not to hear you. Some of us came running when the last shake of the building went off. We thought you guys were goners! What happen to Naruto?" Sasuke looked down at the blond. He brushed some of the blond's hair out of his eyes.

"The halls below us had a major power surge. Destroyed lights and caused all the glass to break from the vibrations. Glass came down every where. I only got small cuts, but Naruto's leg didn't get so lucky..." the raven frowned and gently wiped the sweat from Naruto's face away from his sleeve.

Come on dobe, you have to relax. If you don't...I won't let you go in to shock!

Not long Neji returned with the first aid kit. Tsunade came running down the hall way, face red and eyes blazing.

"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU TWO? I WAS WORRIED SICK YOU SON OF A BITCHES! WHAT THE HELL- N-Naruto?" she wheezed. The blond's pant leg was covered in blood. Neji removed the tie holding it and hissed at the look of the cut. Carefully, he started to search through his first aid kit, bringing out the necessary equipment for the job. Tsunade looked quietly from Sasuke to Naruto and vise versa. She came forward and bent over the blond, feeling his forehead. She frowned and looked at the group of people behind her.

"Alright drag your asses. Move these guys to the break room and set the blond on the couch. Get the other aid kits and look over Sasuke and the runt. Naruto is in for a painful night and they're probably dehydrated. Get them some water." Tsunade watched as Neji finished wrapping the leg. Gently she bent over and looked worriedly at his face. Naruto barely opened his eyes. She scooped him up in to her broad arms and walked down the hall way. Kiba went to Sasuke and slung the raven's arm over his neck. Sasuke was grateful and stood up shakily. His legs hurt from running up steel steps and carrying the blond on his back. His cuts and bruises ached, leaving him tired and warn. Kiba led him to a room that branched off in to the other hall. From the look of it, they were in the business area of the building, Sasuke rarely came up here. Only to take business calls or plan out next weeks weather schedules. All in all, he only ever came to the top level maybe twice every three months. Sasuke was walked in to the break room and set in an arm chair. Tsunade set Naruto down gently on the couch, using a pillow to support his injured cut leg. She turned to him and looked him over. She picked up another first aid kit and walked over to him.

"How are you holding up?" she asked, flattening his collar and examining his neck. Sasuke bent forward a little, giving her room to work.

"I'm more worried about Naruto. Is he alright? I moved as fast as I could. My adrenaline sorta kicked in and helped about half way up the stair case." Tsunade nodded and carefully took out some cotton balls and medicine. She swabbed the area and cleaned the cuts. Sasuke hissed and held still to hopefully get it done faster.

"He is alright, just shaken up. I'd stay here with him. Don't leave his side for a second, got that brat?" she warned more than asked. Sasuke gave her a look.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Of course I won't leave his side! He knows...He knows how I feel now..." he whispered, looking over at his beloved on the couch. Naruto was asleep, looking far too pale. He breathed steadily now, every soft breath moving his chest gently. Sasuke watched him breath until Tsunade put the last bandage on his neck.

"So, he knows huh?" she gave him a cheeky grin. She raised her hand and slapped him hard on the back. Sasuke nearly fell out of his chair. "Finally! Maybe know I can get some grand children..." she chuckled, walking out the door. Sasuke blushed and watched her leave. He stood up and walked over to the blond. He sat on the floor and gently touched the blond's face. Letting his thumb run over the blond's bottom lip. Naruto didn't stir and Sasuke frowned. A clash of thunder went across the sky. Lickily on the top floor, it seemed like it was nothing. He felt Naruto flinch at the sound. Sasuke stood and walked over to the window and looked below. It was a mess. He could see up rooted trees flowing down the river that used to be city road. Other buildings were dark and Sasuke wondered if there were others in their situation. Others trapped and waiting out the storm. If others were hurt and scared. He looked over his shoulder at the sleeping blond, no longer able to take the view outside. He walked over and shifted the blond over slightly. He slipped on to the couch and wrapped his arms around the blond's waist, careful to keep his leg propped up. He buried his head in the blond's neck and smelt his scent. Naruto made a small noise and snuggled against the raven's chest. Sasuke smiled and kissed his forehead.

"Sleep well, Naruto..." he breathed. He closed his eyes and listened to the thunder outside. Wondering when this nightmare would end.

"I can't take this anymore! I just can't! I don't care if it flooding outside! We could go, we could leave! We could get help!" a red haired man yelled. Kiba and Neji looked at each other.

"Are you crazy?" Kiba said, raising an eye brow.

"You will surely die. It is too dangerous, please stop speaking nonsense. If you can't take it then please get some sleep or something. Before you know it we will be done and over with this situation." Neji spoke calmly, letting his gaze wander to the panicking man.

"We could be dead! The building is flooding, we are going to drown if we stay here!"

"Bernly calm down!" Kiba yelled, grabbing the man's shoulders. Bernly shrugged him off and backed up.

"No way! No fucking way am I staying! Fine, you stay and die! I'm outta here!" he shouted, voice border line hysterical. Neji stepped forward and blocked his way.

"And where will you go? There is no fire escape. Do you plan to jump? Thats suicidal." Bernly shook his head and pushed past him, walking down the hallway he disappeared in to his office. Kiba looked away from him and sighed.

"He's been this way ever since we were evacuated up here. Seriously, the guy must be on something or he is really losing his mind." Neji nodded and looked at Kiba. They had known Bernly since they started working but rarely spoke to him. He was one of the busy bodies around the office. Other wise known as a gossip whore. People had quit their jobs because they had one soul purpose to them. Getting the hell away from Bernly. It looked like the gossip whore wasn't all that until he lost his cool. There were some days that people just wanted to punch his lights out. Those who were true friends with him, were the higher ups and to say...Ass holes. He knew better to mess with Neji or Sasuke rumors wise. Especially when Sasuke got in to the fist fight with the reporter from SAND. Neji threatened him to shut his hole or else. Same went with if he ever told any one about Kiba's break up with his girlfriend. That was messy enough with out Bernly stepping in and making up some bogus story. Neji didn't put up with that type of shit.

"I bet you he'll be one to snap. We should lock him in his office or something..." Kiba mumbled to himself. Neji nodded.

"As much as I agree with that, I think we should at least warn the chief. This was at least we can take turns watching him. The others are scared enough with out him running around saying we are all going to die. True or not." Kiba nodded and walked out of the room. Neji turned toward the window and watched the rain fall. It was sad really...

It looked like crying.

Tsunade was furious. One was because...This was her last cigarette and two, she nearly pulled her hair out waiting for her step son and fellow weather man to get their ass up on to the top floor. Her heart nearly froze when she heard the elevator crash a few floors below. She had to punch the wall a few times just to quell her rage. Leaving nothing now but a huge hole in the middle of her temporary office wall. Who ever owned this office was going to be mad at her when this was over. Tsunade lifted her hand and counted all the people on the floor with her.

"Lets see now...There is Sasuke, Naruto, Kiba, Neji, Bernly from the upstairs department, Susan, Charlie, Keith, Ronald, Fred and Diana. Thats everyone counting myself here. Good, thats everyone in my station of the building not including Bernly. I wonder if the others left?" She heard a knock on her door and turned to it. Kiba nodded to her and she waved him inside.

"Whats up? Something wrong?" she asked. Kiba shrugged.

"I'll tell you know before I regret it later, Bernly is acting suspicious and jumpy. I think he might do something stupid if we don't watch him..." Tsunade nodded and growled.

"That little bitch? Can you believe he wanted to play group leader? This isn't even his department of the building staff! The little bitch is trying to play god before he even knows what the hell he is doing! He actually suggested that we sit on the god damn roof and wave to the sky for passing planes! We at that height would be fried to a crisp. If he wants to go on the roof then fine! Let him! I don't give a rats ass about-!"

"That little bitch. Ya I know, you only said it like three times..." Kiba interrupted, rolling his eyes.

"And am I right?" she asked, leaning with one arm on the desk and giving him a smirk. Kiba chuckled and rubbed the back of his head.

"Yeah, you're right chief. Absolutely right."

Bernly paced his office, he was trying with all his might not to jump out the door and strangle that white eyed freak and tattooed sports jock. He sat in his chair and glanced in all directions around the room. Acting as if sitting there was going to give him an answer.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, I'm not going to sit here and die like everyone else! They must be hiding a life raft or something! They're being selfish. That bitch Tsunade thinks she is keeping us safe! For gods sake, the first three floors are flooded! There could be dead bodies down there! Oh damn it! I got to get out of here!" he all but growled. He got up and resumed pacing through his office. He stopped and slowly turned his eyes toward his desk. His eyes were wide and haunted, staring at the desk as if it had caught fire. Slowly he sat down and stared at his desk top. He slipped his hand under the lip and pulled out a hidden draw. He slid it all the way open and gulped in nervousness. This was it, the fight for survival, only the strong one's would make it know. He wasn't going to die here like some trapped animal on a fox hunt. He put his hand in the draw and carefully wrapped his hands around the cool metal. He shivered in anticipation and lifted the item up to face level. He moved his hands over the device, sticking in a round her held it up as if it was meant to be worshiped.

In his hands...Was a gun. He breathed deeply and looked at his office door.

He'd force his way out!
