"Don't touch me!" Sasuke pushed the doctors hand away from his face. "Sasuke how come you didn't say anything?" Kakashi asked him. All this attention was starting to get on his nerves. The boy attempted to pull himself out of bed once again, but was pushed down by Itachi. The coughing had finally subsided and now he was laying there breathing heavily. Sasuke refused to have anyone touch him, this was making it very difficult for Itachi to stay calm.

"Itachi, why don't you let me talk to him alone for a bit. He seems to get upset when you try." Kakashi whispered to his partner. Itachi looked upset but agreed, telling Kakashi he'd be right outside the door.

Once everyone else was gone Kakashi looked back at Sasuke, the kid seemed better than before. How could they not have noticed he was blind, he was sure that had happened after Itachi left he wondered how it happened. The detective pulled up the chair to the bed sitting down and took out a pad of paper and a pen.

"Sasuke its just me now. Everyone else has left." He told the kid. "I know." Sasuke snapped at him. "Why are you still here?" "I want to talk to you, ask a few questions then I'll be gone. In a few days we'll have a social worker come and interview you and then we'll try and find you a place to stay."

"I'm not staying with Itachi?" Sasuke sounded confused. "No why would you think that? You didn't seem to get along very well with him." Kakashi was trying to confuse Sasuke a bit just to make him easier to talk to. "How long have you been blind?" He looked up in the direction of Kakashi's voice. "Do I really have to tell you anything?" "No but it would help you more if you did." "I just want to leave." Sasuke whispered.

Kakashi knew this was a lot for Sasuke but he couldn't be so easy on him just because he was Itachi's brother. Kakashi could see Sasuke was shaking a little and one of his hands was pulling at the blanket and at his wrists. The kid was anxious and probably going through drug withdrawals from whatever he had been on.

"There going to hurt me." Sasuke whispered quietly. "Who?" "If I'm not back…hes gonna be so mad." "Who Sasuke?" "Kabuto…told me wanted to try something new out with me." "Drugs?" Sasuke nodded a bit. "Sasuke you are safe in the hospital I promise you. They have guards all over the place and you need an ID to get in here anyway no one is going to hurt you." Kakashi could see tears in Sasuke s eyes, he felt so bad. The kid was miserable and terrified and nothing he said would calm him down.

"I'm going to get you some food, you haven't eaten in a while." Kakshi told Sasuke before stepping out of the room leaving him alone. Itachi looked so tense as he came out into the hallway. "Dis he say anything?" He was immediately asked by his boyfriend. "Calm down Itachi. No he didn't say much, hes scared…more terrified. Hes scared to tell me anything."

Itachi sat down on the bench he looked really upset. "Tachi whats wrong?" Kakashi asked sitting down next to him. "Why does everything have to be so difficult?" Itachi asked him, his voice broke as he said this. "Look, Sasuke is safe now, hes away from the people who hurt him and hes with you." "He thought I was dead! Why would he even think that!" The younger man sounded almost hysterical. "Kakashi…can you take me home?" Kakashi was about to respond when he was interrupted. "Please I just need some time to think." "Fine, you have to get some rest."

Kakashi brought Itachi home then he came back to see Sasuke again. When he entered the room the boy was fast asleep. He looked so young and innocent like this. He set the food tray on the table he saw Sasuke's eyes blink open from the sound that woke him.

"Sorry I woke you, I got you some dinner. Do you want it now?" Kakashi asked the boy. "Why are you being so nice to me?" Sasuke asked quietly. "I care about you and I want you to heal." Sasuke shut his eyes, Kakashi could see tears dripping down his cheeks. "But no one cares." He whispered. Kakashi sighed, the kids self esteem was at rock bottom right now and he had to do something about that. He knew this was from the years of mistreatment and abuse. But he still couldn't help but be upset over this.

Kakashi set the tray of food on the pull out table in front of Sasuke. "Here's your food do need any help with anything?" "No." Sasuke reached out Kakashi watched as he traced his hand on the table till he found the roll. He picked it up and took a small bite, chewing slowly.

Kakashi was intrigued watching Sasuke. He had never really met a blind person unless they were really old or something. Minato was a teacher for the blind, he had been interested in it since he met his wife when they were kids. She was blind as well and that made him want to help people like her even after she died in labor with Naruto. Maybe he would be able to help he knew a lot more than either of Kakashi or Itachi on this kind of stuff.

Once Sasuke had eaten as much as he could Kakashi could see he was falling asleep again. He smiled, the kid was finally safe from the evil world that wanted to do nothing that hurt him.
