Sasuke was able to move his arms even though they hurt a bit. Right now he was planning on how to leave the hospital without any of the ANBU noticing him gone. But he still couldn't do anything since his Chakra was caged in that stupid mark on his chest.

He took a deep breath and activated his Sharingan but he could just use the normal type since Amaterasu and Susano'o used up more of his chakra. He sighed and sat back down on the bed, he hadn't seen anyone today and he was getting hungry.

Tsunade walked in a few minutes later and looked at his arms. She shook her head and started healing his arms before he could say anything "You can't leave the hospital, yet" she said simply but he didn't look at her "Team 7 needs you" now that made Sasuke turn.

Sasuke bended his arms, they didn't hurt anymore.

"Rest up Uchiha." she said, "you have a long road ahead of you."

"..." Tsunade waited for him to speak but he barely even moved an inch. "Typical Uchiha." Tsunade said storming out of the room and slamming it behind her.

He was tired of being in this bed. It gave him too much time to think. Too much thinking of how he screwed himself up. Glancing down at the chakra straps that kept him strapped to the bed didn't help much nor did the seals on his chest, and arms, he sighed. What was the point of even being alive if he couldn't even go outside of this place? He simply wasn't allowed because he is a prisoner; he just didn't see the point since all the villagers scorned him, even the doctors and nurses. Heh, now I guess I have a small feeling for what Naruto must have gone through as a small child.

Come to think of it, he should be getting the title of Hokage someday in the future or so he heard from rumors. He had gotten his childhood dream. Looking up at the ceiling he found his thoughts drifting back to her…that's where they always ended up nowadays. She had crawled underneath his skin so long ago and was there now always. Sasuke was tired of wondering about her.

Wanting to see her was becoming annoying. She was still in a coma so he had heard. He wasn't able see or contact or have any communication with Naruto or Sakura since he woke up here. What had he become? Just a hollow shell of his former self. No, he had been that way from the beginning. Or at least from the time his family was murdered. Again he looked over the plain walls, back up to the equally plain white ceiling. His eyes closed. Within moments her face filled his sight.

Her soft pink hair, and those eyes, green orbs. Emerald's that filled with so much pain because of him.

He brought his fist to the wall, causing it to crack. Funny how his emotions could numb the pain even as crimson droplets fell from his knuckles. Sasuke drew a kuni from under the mattress he had hidden not too long ago. Don't ask why Sasuke did, Sasuke was sly, after a couple of incidents of almost getting killed in his sleep he found it necessary after a couple of assignation attempts to have one. He had stolen it from one of the Anbu who weren't looking. He was going to get out of here. He had no idea where he was going, but couldn't stand to be in that hospital any longer. It was too depressing even for him. Sasuke closed his eyes, opened them and activated his sharingan.

(Tsunade's Office)

"You what!" she shouted standing up. Team of Anbu were standing there in front of her "Uchiha!" she growled.

Sasuke's escaped?" she shouted.

"Hai"

"Idiots!"

"How could you let this happen? You're an elite Anbu Squad!"

"Do you not know the danger of this situation of one of Konoha's most wanted criminal wondering loose?"

"I'll find Sasuke."

Tsunade stopped shouting at the Anbu looked up toward the door upon seeing Naruto. "We believe he hasn't gotten too far" One of the anbu said standing straight.

"We didn't know." The other anbu said backing away from the desk "He's too strong to control" another anbu said.

"He's an Uchiha, what did you think?" Tsunade sighed frustrated "Find him and I don't want any information to leak out" they all turned to leave, leaving Naruto and the Hokage in the room."Naruto haven't I told you to knock before entering? Anyway, find Sasuke that is your mission."

"Don't worry, grandma Tsunade" Naruto said "I will make sure of that" he said and left the room closing the door behind him. Tsunade sighed and fell back into the worn out leather chair, just when everything was getting calmed down. More paper work "I need more Sake" she frowned at her already empty bottle. "Shizune!" she shouted.

He walked from down the hospital halls, studying the security of the place but it looked like no one was around at this time of day. The anbu who were guarding outside his window and the entire building didn't even know he was gone, but he couldn't say much for the anbu who stood outside his door. He had knocked them unconscious.

Sasuke went deeper into hospital that was slowly being rebuilt after Pains attack, and stopped in front of a door, he didn't know why he went into this direction or why he suddenly stopped in front of this particular door something inside him led him to this door. Some lights were on and without thinking of it he walked into the hospital room looking towards a bed in the middle of the room. There was Sakura she had a breathing mask on as she slept restless and you could see that under her eyes were dark circles as if she were slowly dying.

He shook his head it was a hospital after all, the patients were sick, wounded, etc. Sasuke was about to leave the room but stopped when a nurse was walking down the hall, he closed the door seeing the nurse and waited for light clicking of the shoes leave echoing down the halls.

Sasuke turned back to watch her sleeping face. What was running thought that girls head? Where was she inside their? Had she given up? Those thoughts drove another shard into his heart and he didn't understand it. All his powers could not save him from himself, they could not save her. He supposed all the Uchiha's had to be damned.

Sasuke sat by the bed side in a nearby chair, crossed his arms over his chest and laid his back against the wall. He stared at her thinking, thinking about everything about team 7, Itachi, the war, everything and how it was his entire fault.

While Sasuke was lost in thought someone opened the door to Sakura's room, he froze in his spot but didn't look up or make a move but kept staring at Sakura, and it was Naruto. "Sakura" he whispered and memories of team 7 flashed through his memory. The missions they had gone on, the dobe shouting believe it, his training with Kakashi and the feeling of belonging somewhere.

"Sasuke." Naruto's voice brought him back to the presence once again.

Sasuke glanced at him and then back to Sakura again. He knew he should say something but didn't know what. Sakura probably thought of him as psychotic. He had tried to kill her in the past more then twice.

"I've been looking all over for you! You don't know how worried I was! wha…?"

"Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty…This hatred…How did it find us? Did it steal in to our lives or did we seek it out and embrace it? What happened to us? That we now send out children in to the world like we send young men off to war…hoping for their safe return…But know some will be lost along the way…When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows, swallowed whole by the darkness…Does this darkness have a name? Is it my name?" Sasuke said very seriously as his expression darkened while he looked at his hands in hatred, and guilt.

"Sasuke…" Naruto said looking at Sasuke sadly.

"Why did you come here?" Naruto finally asked. Sasuke just blinked but didn't look at him. Naruto had not expected him to contribute to the one-sided conversation.

"I came here to see her." He's bangs were hiding his eyes.

"Why did you save us, Sasuke?" He became the interrogator trying to find the answers to the questions currently burning through his tortured mind. Silence passed through the room it was uncomfortable.

"I thought about team 7." Sasuke said simply breaking the silence in the room.

Naruto nodded he understood Sasuke's meaning behind the short sentence and he smiled and crossed his arms behind his head. "Ya, know everyone's looking for you, every ninja in the village is actually, and boy is Granma Tsunade mad."

None of the Konoha eleven wanted to see you dead Sasuke." Key word: Wanted. Now they all probably wished he were dead. "Though a lot of the villagers do…" Naruto said.

"Not to mention the hospital staff." Sasuke said.

"What? Really? It will get better with some time, Sasuke." Naruto said.

"Are you really that blind, Naruto? It's not going to be like the old day. They do not let S-class criminals walk freely; all S-class criminals receive the death penalty if caught." Sasuke said.

"I won't let that happen, no matter what Sasuke I won't you die that way. Whatever happens you're stuck with me through thick and thin you hear me? You're my best friend, and I won't let granny tsundae or any political leaders, or anyone for that matter to kill you." Naruto said seriously.

"I just always wondered what had happened…everything just went to hell. No matter how close we got to you, you always were out of reach." he spoke sadly.

"You didn't have to leave that night…" His voice trailed off as he probably relived it. Hell, he thought about it all the time now. Time was all he had anymore. Back then he thought Orochimaru had been his only option left. Boy, had he been mistaken. As he thought about that time, the spot where the curse mark once was suddenly itched.

"I had too." He simply excused. The curse mark would have consumed him wholly and he would have had no control. That was the worst feeling in the world, or so he thought.

"Yes, I know," Answered Naruto, "But this case is quite unique, you had control over yourself before and slightly after the curse seal. What you did was unworthy for another chance."

"Naruto, now is not the time, we have visitors" Sasuke said, unlike Naruto Sasuke could sense others presences as they quickly approached. That was another thing he learned with Orochimaru, Sasuke could since anyone anyone's presence even if it was three miles away they'd enter his consciousness. He felt multiple other chakras nearing him, not very strong, meaning they had just come back from a mission, but strong enough to tell him they were all ANBU...

"What?"

BAM!

Suddenly Anbu busted through the door surrounding them while blocking off possible escapes. Naruto's eyes were wide and alert. An Anbu stepped forward and spoke "Uchiha Sasuke, we are obliged to place you under arrest and take you directly to Interrogation. For questioning."

"…" Sasuke stayed silent.

"Wait! What do you mean by that, what is going on here?" Naruto demanded.

"…" Silence was his answer.

Sasuke rose slowly to his feet willingly from where he sat as the Anbu slowly approached him grabbed his arms tightly and tied them and applied the CRA seals to keep him in his place and then tied chakra stings in case if he fled.

"You will atone for the lives you destroyed, Uchiha," an Anbu spat at him.

"I don't care," Sasuke said, "I know what I've done." he replied.

"If you make a wrong move, Uchiha, understand that you will be forced by the chakra strings and forcefully take you to Interrogation," obviously the one in the rabbit mask.

"Sasuke!" Naruto went to grab the back of his shirt, when an Anbu stepped in between them. "Naruto Uzumaki, you are not to interfere on strict orders. Your mission is complete return to the Hokage for full report.

Come on, Uchiha," the leader ordered.

Naruto forced himself to keep his gaze trained on the, white door.

The Anbu led Sasuke out, when the door closed the noise echoed in Naruto's ears, instinctively causing his heartbeat to race at a hundred miles a minute. Something wasn't right, Naruto had a feeling this wasn't over yet.


Sasuke is being taken to Interrogation! Will he be tortured? Will he crack under the pressure? Find out int the next chapter.

When I was thinking about what to write for this Tenth Chapter, nothing came to mind! I was literally hitting my head against a wall. Totally lost inspiration for this due to the fact I have had my nose stuck in a book for a long period of time, since I have just started college and all...and today in one of my class's my mind drifted off into la la land thinking about Naruto. I couldn't stop thinking about what to write and also I had a brain freeze witch kinda helped in a way XD Its not done. There'll be plenty more chapters. To tell you the truth I don't know when it will end. So many idea's! I just need to put them in the order of the story before I forget! . Reviews and ideas much appreciated!
