A/N: Hey everyone! Okay so this is going to take place in several places in the hospital. It will start out in the waiting room in Kakashi POV. Okay I want to know who you think is Sasuke's inner. I have two people I am considering but I want you to tell me!

Hospital Waiting Room

Kakashi POV

"What is taking so damn long?" I asked frustrated as I punched the table sitting next to me. Anko wasn't here yet but most of the other adults were.

"Kakashi you have to relax. You have to let Lady Tsunade do her job. She was brought back to lead the medical core and right now she is leading them and helping Sasuke at the same time." Genma said trying to put some reason in the situation.

"I don't care. Sasuke is my son. I deserve to know what the hell is going on with him!"

"Kakashi children come here too. You shouldn't be using such fowl language." Kurina lectured trying to calm me down. It wouldn't work. My son could be being examined or being tested on and I had know idea. It is my job to protect him but I can't do that without knowing what is going on!

"Sorry that I want to know what f"

"Kakashi Hatake! I know you aint going to say that word!" I heard Anko scream as she and the others ran in. "Now how is he?"

"I don't know! No one will tell me anything! Why do you think I was about to say"

"I swear if I hear that sound come out of your mouth one more time you won't have to worry about Sasuke because you will be dead. Now what do you know?"

"In a nut shell…nothing." You could hear the sarcasm in my words. Lucky for me Anko didn't seem to care. I knew she meant she would kill me if I pushed her hard enough.

"Well then I guess we will just have to wait." Kushina signaled for us all to sit down. I didn't want to wait. This was my son we were talking about. I can't just sit by and wait to get news of him going mentally insane.

"NO! I can't sit by and wait for that! Mom dad is the freaking Hokage doesn't that count for anything?!? We shouldn't be standing by! He's my best friend!" For once in my life I actually agreed with Naruto.

"Naruto honey. You have to calm down. We will do no good to Sasuke by sitting in there. In fact it is best we wait out here or the doctors and Tsunade can do their work."

"No. Mom I need to see him. Sasuke and I have been best friends forever! We promised to never abandon the other! Mom he is more then my best friend he is my brother! And brother stick by each other no matter what!" Tears were forming in Naruto's eyes. You could tell he meant every word he was saying. He wanted to sit by Sasuke telling him it would be all right and bring him his homework from school. Even though we all knew Sasuke would end up doing both Naruto's and his own homework. And if they got caught Naruto would claim it was a way to keep Sasuke from getting board.

"Naruto I know but as Sasuke's best friend you want what is best for him. And what is best for Sasuke is letting him be taken care of by people who know what they are doing."

"I agree with Naruto." Everyone shut up and looked at me. They were in shock including Naruto. "I can't sit back and let people be pocking at my son without me knowing exactly what is going on. If they don't come out in the next ten minuets with news then I'm sorry but I am going in. Sasuke wouldn't take kindly to this if he knew I was waiting that long so be happy I gave that time limit." I said getting up and walking over Anko and whispered in her ear, " He is watching. I feel it." Anko immediately stiffened.

"Which he?" She whispered back.

"Doesn't matter. They are both dangerous." She knew I was right. Truth was I didn't know which one it was myself. I only knew that someone who wasn't supposed to be near Sasuke was watching. Now she understood the real reason I wanted to be near Sasuke. She nodded her head and I walked by her and went to the vending machine and bought some chips. I hadn't eaten for a while and would need to get food in now if I was going to watch Sasuke. After all the boy could be very sneaky and I had to be on the top of my game. Sasuke hates hospitals! No one knew why they just knew he hated them with all his heart and would do anything to get out of one.

"Ugh hem." We all turned to see a very tired and frustrated Tsunade. "He'll make it if that is what you all are thinking. He is in a lot of pain though. A strong genjustu was preformed on him and it wasn't easily broken. I have to say I am impressed Kakashi. The kid took everything and didn't scream once. Most joinin (?) would finally give up and scream in the middle but the kid didn't brake. I estimate he will have to stay about a week so I can monitor him. I want to know who did this to him but I'm not prepared to send him home and have that person attack. When I do send him home I want Ibiki and Gai with you at all times. Sasuke is safest with all of you but Gai and Ibiki can't leave him until I say to stop."

"Yes Lady Tsunade." Ibiki and Gai said at the same time. I knew she was doing this because she knew Anko and I wouldn't be able to protect Sasuke and care for him at the same time. She also knew I didn't trust many when it came to my son. Hell I almost didn't let him go to the academy because I thought Iruka got didn't work there anymore. Turns out it was a sick joke made up by Genma and Asuma.

"Can we see him?" I asked. It was a stupid question really. She knew even if she said no I would still go in.

"Yes but be quiet he is finally sleeping. And I know him and that won't last for long so let him get his rest." I nodded and we all headed to Sasuke's room. It was funny really his room number was 1719. (S is the 17th letter in the alphabet and U is the 19th. Or at least that is what happened on my fingers.) I opened the door and looked to see a sleeping Sasuke. His eyes were clenched in pain but he had a sense of peace in his expression. It felt like you wanted to ask him what was wrong but you couldn't wake him up because he looked happy. You could see that his face was a little bruised and his body looked beet up. How could a genjustu do this to him?

"How? Sasuke is so tough. How could something happen to him like this?" Naruto looked so confused. "Who did this to him?" So much anger now filled his voice. He wanted to kill the person who did this. It was to bad Naruto wouldn't be able to touch him. Not even I could put enough damage on this guy there would be no way Naruto could not even with the help of the nine tailed fox. He may have great power but he hadn't mastered that power yet.

"We still don't know who but we figured out the range. They were at least ten meters away. (U.S. and one other country use Standard so I guess I should put metric.) I can't give you time without examining Sasuke further but he doesn't want to. He is refusing and I can see why. His body is in need of rest. He told me he hasn't been sleeping lately. Any ideas why?"

"He's been having nightmares." I said. Anko didn't think it was a good enough answer.

"It got so bad he would scream and wake up in tears, and it looked like he was hurting himself in his sleep."

"So even in sleep he couldn't rest. No wonder he has such damage his body hasn't had anytime to rest and heal itself. Any small wound would be doubled in damage without sleep. I think I might have to put him on a sleeping pill to help him." Tsunade said only it seemed more to herself.

"He won't take it if he knows. He is a very picky boy. If he finds out he won't except the outside help. He will want to fix it himself." She knew I was right. She also knew that Sasuke would figure out if she snuck the drug into a drink. It would have to be some other way and I couldn't tell what she was thinking. All I knew was that it wasn't good.

"Fine you give it to him." WHAT! Was this woman crazy?!? Sasuke would never do that even if I tied him to his bed and covered it in chocolate!

"WHAT! NO! He will never do that!"

"You're his father. He has to listen to you."

"But he doesn't. He is a teenager. You know they are the type of species that don't do what they are told and have anger issues!"

"Yes I am well aware of him and his issues. But you were in trusted with him and I expect that you should be able to do this. You're his father and I suggest you act like one." Tsunade said her eyes showing she was annoyed. God the nerve of that woman! I do act as his father but him and his stupid stubborn ways.

"Now Tsunade that was going a little far. Kakashi has done nothing but save that poor boy time after time. He has acted as a wonderful father and a good uncle." Kushina said defending me. I mentally thanked her hoping she knew. She was such a kind and deadly woman. It was hard to see her as the Leaf's number one assassin.

"Whatever. Just get him to drink it when I say so."

"And how do you want me to do that?"

"Figure it out." I tried my best not to roll my eyes but the urge was too difficult. When she finally left the room I went over and sat at Sasuke's side. I wouldn't let him go at this alone. I would be right next to him the entire time.

"Ugh." We all looked to see Sasuke struggling. His eyes some what fluttered open and those two deep onyx eyes stared right at me. "D-dad."

"I'm right here son." A small tear found itself in my eye.

Sasuke mad a grunting sound as he tried to get up. "Sasuke sweetie you shouldn't be moving." Anko said with worry all over her face. She had found herself right behind me as everyone else crowded around the bed. Sasuke finally gave up and just settled with lying down.

"I should've known you would do something like this. You just enjoy scaring the living crap out of me don't you!" Naruto shouted.

"Shut up looser. You're giving me a headache." Naruto immediately shut his mouth and smiled at his nickname. Sasuke had been calling him that for as long as he could remember. I smiled and laughed as well as the rest of the room. We were all just happy to see Sasuke so well. "Umm Asuma?" Now the room became tense. Sasuke had done many things in his life but apologizing never came up often and when it did the room would become silent. " Listen I didn't mean to loose control and attempt to hurt you and Shikamaru like I did. I guess I am trying to say" Everyone knew this was hard for Sasuke so Asuma stopped him there.

"It's all right Sasuke." Sasuke's head shot up and off his blanket.

"You mean it?"

"Of course. Have I ever lied to you?" Asuma laughed.

"Yeah I was three and you said I wasn't a good boy when you babysat that an old man would come and steal me during the night and I could never find my way home." Kurina hit Asuma in the chest and the rest of the women glared. Naruto laughed and I let out a subtle growl.

"Did he now? This explains why you wouldn't go near Santa at the Christmas shop that year." I said.

"Yep when he asked me if I had been a good boy Asuma just flashed in my head." Asuma's jaw dropped at how good Sasuke was at remembering crap from when he was three.

"ASUMA! I can't believe you ruined this poor lads youth by giving him such awful visions! It is no wonder this boy has so many issue!" Gai shouted.

"One will you shut up? I just told Naruto that gives me a headache. And two what issues? I mean I have one and that is watching my clan die and that is it. What other issue is there?"

"Hearing a voice inside your head." Naruto muttered. It didn't go unheard though.

"I was put under a genjustu. That isn't insanity."

"Yes but it can lead to insanity and destroying your youth!" I am not even going to say who said that. This whole time I didn't notice that Sasuke had grabbed a hold of my hand was squeezing it.

"Gai that is enough. All of you shut up and let Sasuke rest." I commanded. Everyone did as told and Anko came up and asked if Sasuke wanted anything to eat. Sasuke nodded and asked for rice balls. Anko walked out the room with all the other women deciding it was time to eat. Anko knew I would eat anything Sasuke had. "Sasuke listen to me. Tsunade said that you are suffering from insomnia. Lack of sleep." I knew Sasuke knew what that meant but I was just too nervous. How was I going to tell him he needed to take a sleeping pill? He is your son get a hold of yourself. He has to listen to you. You are his father.

"You want me to take sleeping pills don't you?" Damn this kid was smart.

"It's for the best."

"Fine." He said shrugging his shoulders.

"Wait. What?"

"I said fine. I trust you dad and if you say it is for the best then fine I'll take them."

I checked his temperature with the back of my hand. "Who are you? And what have you done with my son?" I asked. Sasuke just laughed. I missed this. It felt as if he were a kid again. And not a thirteen year old who could almost take care of himself. Anko still refers to him as her baby and that's how I saw him. But he wasn't anymore. I mean you can tell seeing as I see a thirteen year old who had great talent and poetical sitting in a hospital bed because he heard voices in his head. (Gee that wasn't a run on sentence!) I couldn't look at him as my little boy anymore. He was more of a little man now. And when he does become a man I will have no idea what the heck I am going to do.

"Dad."

"Hum?"

"I miss this. You know. You and me. Just laughing and having fun."

"I know exactly what you mean." By then Sensei had cleared everyone out to let Sasuke and I have a moment alone. I would have to thank him for that. "Listen son when Tsunade tells me you are going to have to take that pill."

"I know. I'm not stupid. I'm not going to agree to something and then not do it. Just promise me one thing." Tsunade entered the room.

"What?" She gave him the pill and explained what it would do and how long he would be out. Sasuke drank the pill with some water and before he fell asleep he whispered.

"Be there when I wake up." I smiled. I wanted to say I promise when some random shinobi (?) ran through the door.

"LADY TSUNADE. HE'S BACK IN THE VILLAGE!" Before she could say anything I jumped from my seat and out the door to see my old squad ready to fight.

"Asuma and Kurina I want you guarding the hospital doors. Genma and Kushina cover the floor! Anko, Ibiki and Gai guard Sasuke." I began to walk away when I heard Naruto shout.

"And what about me?!?"

I turned my head. "Stay out of the way. Go and find Sakura and stay with her." By the time I was done I was out of the room ready to find him.

A/N: Can you guess which him it is? Tell me what you think! Bye! ;)
