Naruto put his head back and sighed. It was too much. He couldn't keep his mind from the situation at hand, no matter how much he tried. He tried not to think of carrying his best friend to the hospital with his other best (female) friend next to him with her hands on the dark-haired boys chest, desperately working to keep his heart beating. He tried not to think of the same boy lying helpless beyond the doors of the emergency room. He tried not to think of the guilt that was creeping in on his mind. He had been stupid. He had thought the young prodigy would be strong enough-strong enough to realize what was happening, to realize that he needed help.

But he hadn't.

And now he was…he was dying. And Naruto had just watched him destroy himself with his memories of his brother, not just that but had helped him. He hadn't told anyone. He had done everything he was taught not to do when a friend was in trouble-and then some. The guilt was in the back of his mind-whispering in his restless mind, squeezing at his heart. The woman sobbing against his girlfriend's side was proof of his guilt. He leaned forward and placed his face in his hands. He was aware of Sai next to him and Hinata against his hip, with Sakura against her own. He was aware of the smell of blood and the beep of machines around him (times like this he cursed his shinobi senses) things he wouldn't have cared for or noticed before were screaming in his head and driving him crazy.

Naruto growled and stood up to pace in front of them, his fist clenching and unclenching. He felt a tug on his pants and glanced at his girlfriend. She pointed to the doorway and Naruto turned to see a figure-anger radiating from him-coming towards them. He stood up in front of the angry Kakashi (for he was obviously angrier than he had been in a long time) and looked to the ground.

"Look at me." The boys teacher demanded quietly. He did.

"Kakashi." That was the only word he was able to say before a fist was thrown across his jaw. Naruto hit the ground and Hinata tried to go to him but Sakura held her back. "Don't." Naruto pushed his body off the ground, then stood in front of his sensei. There was a large red spot on his cheek and a trail of blood down the corner of his mouth but he made no move to wipe it away. He was sent flying with the next hit and ran into the desk.

A few men ran over to restrain the angry jonin who struggled and yelled at his student. "Are you stupid?!! What's wrong with you?! You knew about this all along didn't you, Naruto?! And you didn't do a damn thing to help?!!!" Naruto stood back up and this time wiped away the blood coming from the corner of his mouth. "I'm sorry…Kakashi-sensei." The boy murmured. Kakashi watched his student for a moment then stopped struggling and let his form relax. He was released and promised to not cause any more commotion. He walked over to stand next to Sai and pulled out his book. To him the writing looked greek.
