Chapter 10: The Sick Will Let Slip.

"Somebody get some help!"

Sasuke burst into the hospital, Naruto in his arms, and eyes bright with barely controlled panic. The nurses behind the counter looked up and gasped. Two ran over to him, examining the blonde while a third went to call more. The two present reeled over a nearby stretcher, and Sasuke gently placed Naruto onto it.

The blonde looked terrible. His normally tan skin had gone pale, but his cheeks were flushed. He had his eyes closed tightly, fighting off a major headache. He was panting. It felt like someone was squeezing his chest, constricting his lungs. His whole body was wracked with shivers and his temperature was slowly increasing. And he couldn't move a muscle. He was too weak.

"Out of the way! Coming through! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY!" Sakura burst into the room, staring wildly around before her jade green eyes locked onto the stretcher. She rushed to Naruto's side, going over and taking note of his condition.

"What happened?" She asked, beginning to roll Naruto away to an emergency room. Sasuke fell into a quick step beside her along with several other nurses.

"I don't know. We were walking back home, and there wasn't really anyone out. When we were only a few meters away from our front gate, he started acting strange, like he was completely worn out. When I turned to him he was so pale and strained. I tried to help him home, but the closer we got the worse he seemed to get. Finally, he collapsed right beside the gate, so I picked him up and brought him here."

Sakura listened to his story carefully, at the same time placing one hand over Naruto's forehead. Her hand glowed green with chakra, and she did her best to try and help make the pain go away. Naruto let out a small whimper as the pain began to recede under her care.

Whatever was causing this, it was strong. He never whimpered from pain.

They arrived outside the room and two nurses quickly opened the doors, allowing them in. Their faces looked grave as they studied their Hokage. Sasuke stood back, allowing them to work without getting in the way, but still able to watch over his blonde.

"What's wrong with him?" he asked when Sakura finally stopped her examination. She turned and brushed some pink hair out of her eyes, sighing.

"It's strange. It's almost like he had a bad case of pneumonia or something similar, but I've never seen something like this. But it's going away. Fading just as fast as it seemed to have started. It's almost like a three minutes illness. Just starts, takes a chunk out of you and goes away." Sakura shook her head in confusion.

"I have no idea what's causing it. It's not natural." She finished. Sasuke looked at Naruto. His face was still flushed, but his breathing was beginning to even out, and he didn't seem to be in much pain.

"Do you think it might have something to do with the seal?" Sakura thought about his question, looking at Naruto's stomach area intently.

"I can't say. Perhaps if Naruto could ask the Kyuubi, or something. But I can't do much." She said slowly. Sasuke nodded and stepped forwards.

He leaned over Naruto, levelling their eyes. Then he gently placed his fingertips on Naruto's eyelids, pushing them up slightly. When he saw the blue iris, he activated his Sharingan. It only took a second.

Sasuke blinked. He was standing in a dimly lit corridor. The floor was flooded, and there was an eery yellow glow to the place. He knew where he was. It wasn't his first trip to Naruto's subconscious.

With a purpose in mind, he walked down the corridor, each footstep splashing as he went. After what seemed like ten minutes but was probably shorter, he arrived in front of a large cage. The inside was dark and he couldn't see anything. But he could hear the distinct growl of the Kyuubi as he approached.

"Well, look at what we have here. If it isn't the Uchiha brat."

Sasuke's face remained impassive. He had a mission.

"Kyuubi. What happened to Naruto's body just now? What did you do?" Sasuke waited for a minute, before Kyuubi finally gave up his silent treatment.

"I did nothing. His condition was caused by a jutsu."

Sasuke blinked his surprise. A jutsu? What kind of jutsu could do that to a person? Or more importantly, who the hell used it on his blonde dobe?

"Do you know who did it?"

Kyuubi laughed; a terrifying sound. Sasuke would've flinched. But he didn't. He was an Uchiha after all.

"To think a member of the once proud Uchiha clan is asking me. Well, I don't know who it was, but they were close by when the brat collapsed. The jutsu they used is a forbidden jutsu and it needs to be activated within a certain range for it to work. I'd guess that's why it's not affecting him anymore." Kyuubi went back to his slumber as Sasuke simply turned around and walked away. He'd gotten what he needed. There was no reason to stay.

When he opened his eyes he was back in the hospital room. The nurses and Sakura were watching him expectantly. He straightened up, blinking in the brightness.

"It wasn't the Kyuubi. It was a forbidden jutsu, apparently. And I'm guessing Mizuru was the one to use it." He said coldly. He was pissed.

Sakura's fists were clenching tighter and tighter. He sincerely hoped he wouldn't have to restrain her again.

He really didn't want to get almost kneed in the crotch, again.

"It seems she needs to be close by for it to work, though. She must have been hiding near the house, and the jutsu became stronger the closer we got." Sasuke informed.

Sakura nodded stiffly, turning back to Naruto who was asleep.

"Sasuke, I'm going to go arrange for a search with the ANBU. Stay here and watch over him. If he starts getting worse, it means she is nearby. I'll get someone else to come here too and help with the watch, so if she does come you won't be alone." Sakura left without leaving room to speak.

Not that Sasuke was planning to anyway.

He dutifully took his seat next Naruto and slipped his hand into the blonde's.

"Don't worry love, I'm here." He whispered.

Shikamaru gave a heavy sigh as he walked towards the hospital.

'Why the hell do I have to join them? It's so troublesome.' He thought.

"It is our duty to our most youthful Hokage to keep watch! We must take on this mission with youthful passion to protect our comrade and leader!"

'And why him? Why did they send him? It would have been fine with just Shino and me, but no. They have to send the second most hyperactive ninja in Konoha. What a drag.'

Shikamaru glanced at the two beside him.

Rock Lee, clad in his usual green spandex and his chuunin jacket was still rambling on about 'Youthful protection' for their 'most youthfully youthful leader'.

If he heard the word 'youthful' one more time, he was going to kill someone.

Thankfully, Shino was quiet.

Then again, it was no surprise. Shikamaru hardly heard him speak.

"Oi, Lee. Can you calm down a bit?" Shikamaru sighed when the boy broke out into another rant of god knows how many youths.

"But, Shikamaru-kun! We need to be motivated and keep our guards up! Who knows when that fiendish fiend will return to take advantage of our you- "

"We must be quiet. Why? Because we are in a hospital and it is evening. We must respect the other patients who wish to rest, as well as Naruto." Shino cut in calmly.

Lee immediately fell silent, his eyes widening in understanding. He jogged ahead, going up the stairs as silently as his 'youth' would allow.

Shikamaru sighed and turned to Shino.

"Thanks. I was about to snap."

Shino nodded and kept walking. Shikamaru really liked working with him. It was always so peaceful.

When they arrived at Naruto's room, Sasuke was reading a book in one hand, his other still clasping Naruto's. Shikamaru knocked lightly before entering.

"How is he?" Lee asked. Sasuke let out a breath.

"He's stable. The jutsu took quite a bit out of him. His energy levels dropped like a stone and he's really fatigued. But he should wake up sometime tomorrow. As long as the jutsu isn't activated again."

The others nodded and took their respective seats. After that they fell into a comfortable silence.

Well, Shino, Shikamaru and Sasuke did. Lee looked ready to explode, but every time he was about to burst Shino would shift ever so slightly. That reminded him of where he was and he would settle down again.

It amused Sasuke to watch the green clad boy constantly swell up before deflating. He knew Lee was probably dying to say something about 'the springtime of youth' or some shit like that.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Excuse me, but I need to check Hokage-sama's vitals." A nurse with short, silver hair entered. She was still young, despite the hair colour, and her uniform was a bit too short for their liking.

If she bent over they'd see a full moon early.

"Sure." Sasuke said, returning to his book. The nurse stared at him for a moment before shuffling towards the bed. Shikamaru was sitting by the window, watching nothing in particular. Lee was by the door, and Shino was against the furthest wall.

There was no talking as the nurse fiddled with the few machines that Naruto was hooked too. She then turned her attention to him and started examining him, pulling back an eyelid and such.

She checked inside his mouth, before wiping her fingers and deeming him fine. She turned to leave with a smile.

Bt when she tried to reach for the handle, her arm wouldn't cooperate. In fact, she couldn't move.

"W-what the –?" she stuttered. The was a snicker behind her.

"Kage mane no jutsu, Success."

Shikamaru smirked as the woman began shaking.

"Nice try. Now, what did you put in Naruto's mouth?" he asked. Lee jumped up and grabbed her, allowing Shikamaru to release his technique. Shino stood and Sasuke quickly opened Naruto's mouth again. He reached in and only just managed to grab the 'item' that was heading down the blonde's throat.

"There! It's a...what the fuck is this?" he yelled, showing them the 'item'. It was a small, insectile creature, with six, spindly and nasty looking legs, two sharp pincers on a pointed head and hundreds of beady black eyes. It made a small hissing noise as it twisted it's stick-like body around, trying to get free.

Sasuke stared at it in disgust. This thing was going to crawl down Naruto's throat!

"That is what is known as a Shidoku Konchu, or Death Venom insect." Shino said from his spot in the shadows. He quickly walked forwards and grabbed the bug by its head.

"If it bites you, the venom spreads in less than a minute and paralyses you before slowly killing you. Its species is almost extinct, and they are very dangerous. You can only get them on the black market, or if you are a bug user."

Sasuke glared at the black insect before turning to the nurse. She was watching him fearfully, her arms held tightly by Lee.

"What the fuck were you doing?" Sasuke demanded in a deadly voice. The nurse gulped.

"I-I was f-forced! I d-didn't w-want to d-do it! B-but s-she would have h-hurt m-me!" The woman started sobbing towards the end.

"Who forced you and when and where did this happen?" Shikamaru questioned. The woman sniffled and wiped her eyes.

"I-I don't know w-who she was, but s-she cornered me b-behind the h-hospital before m-my shift started. Sh-she had brown h-hair, but h-her f-face was all d-disfigured and b-burned. The e-entire left s-side was burned and the r-right had s-scars. And they l-looked f-fresh as w-well! A-as if she'd o-only been b-burned t-today. She s-said that she w-would b-beat me and break my a-arms and l-legs if I didn't l-listen to h-her!" The woman wailed, shaking with fear.

Sasuke frowned in agitation. Mizuru had resorted to using the civilians to try and hurt Naruto. Although Sasuke had no sympathy for the civilians that would cooperate.

But he knew if he did anything to a civilian, Naruto would never forgive him.

But that didn't mean he couldn't make the woman feel just a little bit guilty.

"So, you mean to say you would rather kill the Hokage, than possibly get hurt yourself?" he spat. The woman looked up at him, her eyes shining with tears and guilt.

"I-I-I'm s-so-sorry!" She whimpered. Sasuke scowled and turned away from her.

"Lee, take her to Sakura and tell her what happened. She'll handle this woman." He ordered. Lee saluted him before leading the woman out.

Shino had put the Shidoku Konchu into a sealed jar and was examining it carefully. Shikamaru was watching the moon again. Naruto slept on, despite everything that had happened.

If Sasuke could not visibly see his chest rise and fall, he would have been concerned. But Naruto was just a heavy sleeper.

"Shikamaru." Shino called. The lazy nin looked back at him, raising an eyebrow in response.

"I'm curious to know how you knew what she had done. I did not detect any ill intent from her when she entered." Shino said in his usual, monotonous tone.

Shikamaru shrugged and turned back to the window.

"Actually, neither did I. But it was suspicious how she didn't put any gloves on before shoving her fingers into Naruto's mouth. I'm pretty sure there's a rule about that. Nurses and Doctors always wear sterilized gloves when doing those types of examinations. That's why I figured she was up to something."

Sasuke sighed.

If they had to be careful of civilians as well as Mizuru herself, it was going to be a long night.

Sasuke was not a morning person.

He hated the mornings.

Passionately hated them.

And yet here he was, awake at the crack of dawn.

Dammit, the sun hadn't even fully risen yet. And he was awake and grumpy.

Very grumpy.

He needed coffee. Strong. Black. Sugarless. Coffee.

"How long have you been awake?"

Sasuke glared over at Shikamaru who was stretching after his nice, long sleep. Right now, Sasuke didn't like him very much.

"Since you fell asleep. At half past eleven. It is now twenty to five." He growled. Shikamaru blinked lazily, before heaving a heavy sigh and dragging himself to his feet.

"How do you like your coffee?" He asked lazily. Sasuke quirked an eyebrow.

"You're offering to bring me coffee? The laziest ninja in Konoha is bothering to carry an extra cup of coffee?" he asked sceptically. Shikamaru frowned.

"If you keep that up then I won't bother. It's less troublesome for me. But I don't want to have to deal with you being a grumpy old troll all day either." He said boredly. Sasuke was silent. Shikamaru shrugged and turned away. He was about to open the door.

"Black. Strong. No sugar."

Shikamaru smirked and waved a hand over his shoulder as he left. The Uchiha was so predictable sometimes.

Shino had left around two in the morning. He had said something about seeing if the Shidoku Konchu could reveal any clues as to Mizuru's plans or whereabouts.

Sasuke sat in the chair next to Naruto's bed, staring at nothing in particular. It had been about five minutes since Shikamaru left to get coffee.

Yes. He was timing him. It's not every day the lazy guy did something like this after all.

"S-sasuke?"

His whole body moved to face the bed where Naruto was slowly opening his eyes. Sasuke leant over him, wiping away the sleep and hushing him.

"Hey love. How are you feeling?" he asked softly. Naruto yawned a bit and blinked, trying to focus his eyes.

"Eh...I feel fine, I guess. Still kind of tired but that'll go away." He mumbled sleepily. He tried to sit up, but found his arms were still rather shakey.

"Need some help?" Sasuke offered, using an arm to support his back. Naruto smiled and leant against him.

"What exactly happened? I remember arriving at the complex and then everything hurt. After that it's kind of fuzzy. I think I remember Sakura talking and the feeling of moving on a stretcher, but I'm not sure."

"You collapsed after we got home. It seems that Mizuru was hiding somewhere nearby and used some forbidden jutsu to cause the pain. If we hadn't left the area as quickly as we did, you may have been a whole lot worse." Sasuke explained softly. Naruto pouted.

"Great. So now the Sasuke-obsessed fan girl is after me. Man, why'd you have to be so popular with the girls?" he complained. Sasuke felt a slight tug in his chest.

Naruto had a point. Mizuru was only after Naruto because he was with Sasuke. It was all Sasuke's fault. What if Naruto hadn't pulled through? What if Mizuru had succeeded? What if she –

"Earth to the teme! Hello! Anyone in there?" Naruto wrapped his knuckles on Sasuke's shoulder, earning him a glare.

"What was that for?" he asked huffily.

Yes. He huffed. But he was upset. He was allowed to. And it was morning. And he hadn't had any coffee. Seven minutes since Shikamaru left.

"Because I know you were probably thinking all these 'What if' thoughts and blaming yourself and shit like that." Naruto said matter-of-factly.

Damn, he knew him too well. The blonde was definitely a mind reader.

"Sorry."

"Don't be sorry. I was kidding. It's not your fault. Mizuru has some serious issues. We'll get her, and she'll be locked away, and then we can get married and you can spend every day basking in the glow of my awesomeness!" Naruto grinned.

Sasuke snorted, but smiled. He leant forwards and gave the blonde a chaste kiss.

"That's not fair. You mean I actually bothered to bring you coffee to cheer you up and then you're already happy by the time I get back. I knew this was going to be troublesome and useless."

And cue the lazy genius.

Sasuke looked at his watch.

"It took you ten minutes to bring the coffee. I have to say that I was betting on twenty, so I'm impressed." He said calmly. Shikamaru frowned before shoving the coffee into his hands and returning to his seat by the window.

"Hey Naruto, feeling better?"

"Yeah. Thanks Shikamaru."

The lazy genius grunted and turned back to the window, sipping his coffee and watching the clouds.

Sasuke took a gulp of his coffee, when suddenly he was staring at his blonde.

For some reason, Naruto looked...really sexy.

Not that he wasn't always sexy but...damn!

His hair was ruffled and stuck out at odd angles, his azure blue eyes were slightly glazed with tiredness, and his shirt was hanging loosely off one shoulder, revealing an exquisite neckline for Sasuke to view and drool over.

And drool he did.

He gulped his coffee down in record time before setting his mug down. Just as he was about to ravish his fiancé, he remembered the other presence in the room.

He turned to the window and glared at Shikamaru.

It took the lazy nin a whole minute to notice the eyes boring into his head, but it took less than a second for him to figure out who and why he was being glared at.

He sighed before taking another sip of coffee and standing up.

"Well, I should go report to Sakura that you're awake. No doubt it'll take me about..." he looked directly at Sasuke, meeting the onyx gaze with a meaningful stare. "roughly twenty minutes." He finished.

Sasuke nodded and Shikamaru left without another word, closing the door tightly behind him.

"Hm? Shikamaru left rather quickly. I wonder why tha- WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?"

Naruto didn't know how it had happened. One moment he was talking and the next his hands were tied above him with Sasuke's forehead protector and his pants were gone.

Oh, wait. Scratch that. He knew exactly what happened.

An Uchiha happened.

"Naruto." Sasuke's voice was husky and laced with need.

A very horny Uchiha happened.

"Sasuke! I just woke up! Can't your hormones settle down until I've eaten at least!" Naruto whined. He struggled to untie his hands, but Sasuke was a master at bondage.

Yeah, don't ask.

"Sorry, Naru, but you just look so fucking sexy right now. And after my heart nearly gave out last night, I need to be inside you. Now!" Sasuke leant down and claimed the pouting lips. He thrust his tongue into Naruto's cavern, exploring and taking in the unique taste that was Naruto.

Naruto moaned into the kiss when Sasuke's hand reached down to rub his groin. He arched into the touch, pulling his head away and gasping for air.

"Mmmnn...Sasuke." he panted. Sasuke smirked and gently stroked Naruto's once limp shaft. By the time he was finished, Naruto would be screaming his name.

"Does it feel good, Naru?" he asked huskily. Naruto let out a small sigh before kissing him lightly.

"I'm sorry for scaring you, Sasuke." He whispered. Sasuke kissed him again, but it was sweet and gentle.

"It's okay. Just...don't ever leave me. I wouldn't be able to survive if something happened to you." He said softly. Naruto stared at him, before nodding to himself. Concentrating, he used his wind natured chakra to slice through the material of his bound hands. As soon as the bond was gone, he took three fingers into his mouth and began sucking.

Sasuke watched in confusion as Naruto sucked on his three fingers.

"What are you doing, Naru?"

Naruto shook his head, removing his fingers and examining them. After deeming them worthy, he reached down and shoved one into his own entrance.

Sasuke jerked back in surprise. Naruto never prepared himself so willingly before.

"N-Naruto? What are you d-doing?" he asked. The sight was so arousing he had trouble thinking straight. Naruto was panting slightly as he inserted a second finger.

"Isn't it o-obvious?" the blonde panted. "You're obviously s-sexually frustrated or s-something. Y-you always g-get all m-mushy and...AH! E-emotional when you're r-really horny. So the o-only way t-to..mmnnh... get you b-back to normal is ...ooh...to get you i-inside me...ah...right n-now!" With that Naruto added a third finger, stretching himself even more.

Sasuke watched in wonder as Naruto thrust his fingers into himself, moaning every time.

Finally, he'd had enough.

He moved forwards, unbuttoning his pants and sliding them down. He reached down and smeared his pre-cum over his cock before removing Naruto's fingers. He positioned himself and looked into the lust-filled blue eyes. Naruto nodded once and he pushed forwards until he was fully sheathed inside the blonde.

"Aah...Sa..suke..." Naruto arched at the penetration, his eye going to half mast. Sasuke resisted the urge to thrust, giving him time to adjust.

"Naruto."

"It's okay. M-move."

No need to tell him twice. He pulled out until only the tip was left inside, before thrusting back in and starting a rhythm. Naruto tried to stifle his moans. They were in a hospital after all. But he couldn't stop the sharp cry when Sasuke's shaft struck his prostate.

"Ah! Shit!...Sasuke!" he panted, writhing. Sasuke groaned at the movement before thrusting deeper, hitting his blonde's prostate with every jab. The bed was creaking slightly under them, and for a split second Sasuke wondered if they would break this bed as well.

The thought was gone in an instant when Naruto moaned his name before he came all over their stomachs. When his muscles clenched around Sasuke, he gave a grunt before emptying his load into Naruto.

They collapsed, worn out and satisfied. Sasuke gently kissed Naruto's eyelids, the corner of his mouth and the tip of his nose before claiming his lips fully. When they broke apart Naruto smiled.

"So, has the pervert within you been satisfied?" he asked lightly. Sasuke chuckled allowing a smirk to cross his face.

"No. He needs at least another round before he's finished. But since you're in a hospital, he will have to hold out for a bit longer." He gave a mock sigh and smiled when Naruto laughed.

"Oh how sweet. I guess I'll have to reward him later."

"Yes, you will."

They lay together, cuddling a bit before Sasuke found the strength to get up and clean them both off. He pulled his pants up before reaching down and retrieving Naruto's which he'd thrown on the floor.

When he reached over for his forehead protector he sighed. The material was slashed near the metal plate. He would need to get a new one.

"Dobe, you owe me a head band." He muttered. Naruto looked up from fixing his pants and pouted.

"It's your fault. I had to get my hands free somehow, and you chose to use the head band, not me."

"Sorry to interrupt your little argument, but there are more pressing matters."

They both turned to see Sakura in the doorway. She looked tired and there were a few cuts and bruises adorning her arms.

"What happened, Sakura?" Naruto asked, sitting up straight. Or at least, attempting to.

Sasuke couldn't quite hold back the smirk when Naruto flinched and slumped forward slightly, the blue orbs glaring at him for a moment before turning back to the pinkette.

"Well, firstly Mizuru is still loose. Secondly, she set up a few traps around the outskirts of the village where we were searching. No one got seriously hurt, but a few got minor injuries. And then there's the fact that Mizuru threatened that nurse. This is getting annoying." Sakura growled as she slumped in the nearest chair.

Why was it so difficult to catch one kunoichi? After all, Mizuru wasn't exactly the most skilled ninja, and yet she was successfully avoiding everyone searching for her. Even Kiba, Hinata and Neji were struggling.

Sakura really hated the girl right now.

"Naruto, what should we do? How are we going to handle this situation?"

Naruto sighed and closed his eyes in thought.

"Where and when was the last time Mizuru was officially seen?" he asked.

"Around three this morning. A guard said they saw her running through the trees towards the outskirts of the village. That's what prompted me and my team to search that area."

"Okay, I want ANBU guards spread around the walls of the village. At least three at every gate. Also, I want Neji, Hinata and a few more of the Hyuuga clan to do a search of the village. They must scope out every inch of the village interior. Get them into groups of two and have them start at all three gates and move into the village before stopping in the centre.

All citizens must be warned of her appearance. Get a description from the nurse who was threatened and send out the information to all the villagers. That way if they see her, they can avoid her or report it.

On top of that, tell the Aburame clan to send out their bugs to search the area outside of the village. It must be done inconspicuously. If we can take Mizuru by surprise then great.

If anyone finds a trace of her, they must send a report immediately to me. If they have the chance to confront her, they should do so, but also send out the word for back-up just in case."

Sakura nodded and left to fulfil the orders.

Sasuke sat down next to the blonde and wrapped his arms around him.

"You're so cute when you get in your Hokage-mode." He said, nuzzling the blonde's cheek. Naruto sighed and leaned into him.

"I'm not cute, dammit. And this whole thing is really frustrating. The sooner we find her and take her down the better."

Sasuke pecked his cheek and held him closer. He was also annoyed with the situation. They were supposed to get married in just under two weeks. But if Mizuru wasn't caught by then, they may have to postpone the ceremony.

After all, they didn't want to risk her busting it up.

"Can I go home? Or do they still need to run tests or something? I'm really hungry too." Naruto turned his pouting face to Sasuke, who couldn't resist the urge to nip the offered lip softly.

"Sure. I'll go get some Ichiraku Ramen and then find out if you can leave. Just stay put for now, okay?" he stood, stroking Naruto's cheek once before leaving to get the blonde's favourite meal.

Naruto lay back down once Sasuke had left to go and fetch his ramen.

Honestly, he thought his idea of throwing ramen toppings instead of confetti was brilliant. But Sakura had insisted against it. He had a feeling Sasuke wouldn't mind as much, especially if Naruto said he could eat the toppings off of him afterwards.

Naruto chuckled when an image of Sasuke in a suit covered in those little fishcakes popped into his mind.

Frankly, he knew Sasuke would probably agree if it meant he could eat off of Naruto's stomach. He was perverted that way.

"But he's my pervert." He thought aloud. Then he smiled and closed his eyes. He fell into an easy sleep with thoughts of his fiancé. Nothing could ruin his slumber.

Well, that's what he'd hoped.

His senses only managed to pick up the whistle of shuriken before several crashed through the window. He rolled off the bed just in time and crouched on the floor.

He didn't even need to guess who his attacker was.

"Come on out Mizuru!" he called. There was a blur of movement before a she appeared. Most of her face was hidden behind a scarf, leaving her eyes to be the most revealed.

"Hello, Hokage-sama."

"Hello to you Mizuru-chan. That was quite a rough greeting, don't you agree?" Naruto stood straight, trying not to wince at the pain in his backside.

"It was a failed greeting. After all, you're still breathing."

"Aw, you make me feel so unloved. Oh, wait. Never mind. That's the complete opposite of the truth. After all, Sasuke loves me, doesn't he?"

Oh yeah, he did enjoy fucking with people just to rile them up. It was fun.

And she deserved it.

"I'll admit that the spell you out on Sasuke-kun is formidable. But I will find a way to break it and free him. And then he shall be mine."

"Wow, he wasn't kidding about that. You really believe me to be some sort of hoodoo magician? Did you forget your meds somewhere during your last mission?" Naruto tilted his head to the side.

Okay, so she'd broken a window to get in. The crash had been rather loud, so no doubt someone was going to pop up soon to see what was happening.

So that meant she wasn't planning on staying.

Even she wasn't that stupid.

"What do you want with me?" Naruto asked. She mirrored his head tilt and placed a hand on her hip.

"I want your death. I want the man you are marrying. I want your head on a stake for taking Sasuke away from me." She said coldly.

"He was never yours to begin with. You only came to this village a few years ago. So I don't really get your logic." Naruto said slowly. She just huffed.

Of course. Psycho fan girls never base anything on logic. It's all hormones and lust with them.

She-devils, the lot of them!

"Sasuke-kun is in love with me. He just can't admit it because of your spell. But I'm going to save him and we'll be together." Mizuru said. She sounded pretty sure of herself.

"Right, well, you keep telling yourself that. In the meantime, I'll get the nurses to bring you a nice straight jacket and we can take you to a nice padded room. Does that sound good?" Naruto said mockingly.

He was still pretty weak from last night. Plus he was starving. His stomach was growling and he felt dizzy.

He didn't want to waste any movements.

"Die!" How subtle. Mizuru threw several more shuriken at him, and he dodged them in time to block the fist aimed at his face. Grabbing it he twisted, sending her into a spin before she pulled back. Naruto moved forwards, grabbing the sheet off the bed and flinging it up. It created a cover, hiding him from her sight. Using that time he jumped clear over her. She was too busy pushing the sheet away to see him sail over her. When he landed behind her he swung his elbow back, aiming for her temple. It contacted with a loud smack and she jerked to the side violently.

Naruto swung around to face her as she crashed into the wall. Maybe he could keep her busy until someone came with proper subduing techniques.

Mizuru stumbled to her feet, tossing a shuriken randomly. Naruto caught it and flung it back.

His aim was off. The shuriken embedded in the wall next to her.

So close. He had to sigh.

The sound of footsteps before the door was thrown open.

"Naruto-ku-er-sama!" Ah, good old Fuzzy Brows. Perfect timing.

"Quickly, grab her!" he ordered as Mizuru darted for the window with a curse. Lee was on her like a hawk, streaking forwards and following her out the window. Naruto ran to the ledge and looked out to see Lee trying to grab Mizuru.

Damn, was she always that good at dodging? Lee was just as surprised as Naruto when the girl dodged most of his attacks.

She was good. They had to give her some credit.

"Konoha Senpu!" Lee twirled, his foot colliding with Mizuru's side. She crashed into the wall of the hospital. Naruto jumped out the window and landed beside her. He grabbed her arm and beckoned for Lee to do the same.

"Does Sasuke-kun know the truth? Does he know what happened all those years ago, back when you were training with Jiraiya?" Mizuru snapped vicously through the scarf. Naruto glared down at her.

"That's in the past. It has nothing to do with the present." He said in a low voice. She scoffed.

"I'm pretty sure it does. After all, this is now your second wedding is it not? Sasuke-kun isn't the first person you've planned to marry is he? Does he know the truth? Did you even bother to mention it to him?" she chuckled under the scarf when he growled. Lee had finally come and gripped her other arm.

"Fuzzy Brows, take her to the –" he stopped when there was a blast of smoke. Mizuru disappeared, leaving two rather confused men staring at the space between them.

"...SHIT! It was a clone! When did she replace herself with a clone?" Naruto yelled. Lee shook his head in defeat.

"I don't know. I'll start looking for her. Naruto-sama, you should get some rest. You look a bit weak." With that Lee jumped away, starting his search. Naruto sighed and turned to go inside the front doors.

"You have some explaining to do, dobe."

Sasuke stood, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a bag that undoubtedly housed a bowl of ramen. His face was set in a frown and his onyx eyes were boring into Naruto's surprised blue ones.

"Sa-Sasuke? What are you talking about?" 'Please not have been there the whole time. Please not have been there the whole time.'

"What is this 'truth' that I don't know? You were married before? To who? And why didn't you tell me?"

'Shit!' "Sasuke, please don't be upset. It's not what you think!"

"Oh really? Then why didn't you tell me? Who was it, Naruto? When was it?"

"..."

"Naruto!"

"It was during the time I was with Jiraiya, training to become strong enough to bring you back from Orochimaru and –"

"Naruto. Who were you marrying?"

"...Kamurou. I was getting married to Kamurou..."

There was a slight breeze in the air, and a single leaf fluttered past the two silent, still figures standing outside the doors to Konoha Hopsital.

Hehehehehehe! And so, the Secret begins to unveil! The truth shall be told in the next two chapters! MUAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
