A week had passed since Sasuke was informed about Naruto's self induced coma. Naruto was still in his coma and Sasuke never left his side except for bathroom breaks. He had a nurse bring him up some hospital food.

Sakura visited Naruto; it was a pattern of every other day. Iruka would come in almost everyday but work kept him from coming all the time. Back to Sakura, she didn't act weird around Sasuke the two times she came in she didn't talk or look at him. But finally on her third visit she looked at him and said a couple of things.

Iruka had just left the hospital and it was Saturday so Sakura was coming in soon to visit. Sasuke's head was dropping and he was resisting the urge to fall asleep.

"Sasuke-kun?"

Sakura tapped Sasuke on the shoulder, causing Sasuke to blot his head up. He stared at her with his emotionless eyes.

"You look tired, Sasuke. Why don't you take a little nap? I'll stay here until you wake up." She smiled.

Sasuke shook his head.

"No, I'm fine."

Sakura pouted and crossed her arms. She stood like this for a minute before sighing and taking a wheelie chair and rolling over to Sasuke.

"I understand why you'd have doubts about having me watch Naruto, especially after what you told me" She let out a stress relieving laugh. "And I'll admit it after you told me I did try to think of a way to change your feelings."

She glanced up at Sasuke, his eyes still emotionless, she bowed her head and continued.

"I thought of so many ways, that I thought would work but...I couldn't do it. The first day I came here I was going to throw a fit and...just do all these horrible things. But when I walked in and I saw how weak Naruto looked and then I saw you and how you just looked like you were in agony."

"I couldn't do it. I wanted to, my mind was screaming at me to throw things and yell things but I just couldn't. I love you Sasuke...I always will. But maybe, in time the love I have for you now will turn into a brotherly love."

She looked back up at Sasuke; she inhaled deeply then put on a smile.

"I'm not the type of girl to ruin someone's life just so I can have my happy ending. So I will not tolerate you putting Naruto at risk. You're taking a nap so that you won't just doze off when no one's watching. Something could happen to Naruto."

Sasuke looked at her and smirked; then nodded his head, agreeing to take a nap.

"Good now here," She walked over to the closet and pulled out a spare blanket. "Use this."

Sasuke grabbed the blanket, yawning. He wrapped it around himself and dozed off to sleep.

Sakura rolled over closer to Naruto's side. She grabbed his hand and rubbed a small circle in it with her thumb. She looked him over, and then checked his stats.

"Wow Naruto," She looked at his face. "You're healing quickly."

She put the papers away then began talking to Naruto. After a couple of hours, Sasuke woke up.

"Well I'm going to go." Sakura stood up. "Hey Sasuke do you want me to bring you back anything, just sitting there talking to a non-responding person can get boring."

She gazed at Naruto then turned back to Sasuke. Sasuke shook his head.

"No." He stated, she smiled then left.

Sasuke looked at Naruto and took the wheelie chair Sakura was on.

"Hey dobe." He fell silent looking at Naruto's face. He picked up Naruto's hand, the one that Sakura was holding before. "I'm sorry."

The image of Naruto covered in blood resurfaced in Sasuke's memory, he clung to Naruto's hand even more.

"I'm so sorry." Sasuke refused to cry but he did let one tear fall.

Kit pay attention!

Kyuubi yelled. He had been working all week trying to heal Naruto as fast as he could. For that to happen though Naruto literally had to shut off his mind. So now Kyuubi had repaired all of Naruto's major injuries, not all of them but the main ones.

Kyuubi? Are you done? Naruto asked. Not completely, but you better listen to this, and if you don't get it after this, I'm taking over.

Kyuubi allowed Naruto to access his ears; there was no damage to repair there anyway. So now Naruto could hear whatever Kyuubi wanted him to hear.

"I'm a failure, I'm...weak." Sasuke said, rubbing Naruto's hand against his cheek.

i What?...Sasuke/i Naruto listened.

"It-Itachi's still alive, he could still come and..." Sasuke didn't want to say it. "I won't let him hurt you...I won't I'll protect you, I'll make sure you're always with me."

Inner Naruto wore a sad face. I'm such a burden, I'm sorry Sasuke.

"I'm pathetic!"

Sasuke let go of Naruto's hand and pounded his fist on the hospital bed. "I failed again!"

I'm the pathetic one Sasuke! I shouldn't rely on you so much, it's hurting you. I'm sorry!

Kyuubi continued to silently heal Naruto as Naruto kept listening to Sasuke beat himself up.

"I can't defend you, I can't keep you safe. I tried and..." He looked at Naruto's still body. "I failed!"

Stop it! Stop beating yourself up/i Naruto turned to Kyuubi. i I don't care if I'm not healed, wake me up! No, how I'm healing you now you should be out of here in a couple of days. You'll just have to wait.

I don't care! Brat! I'm healing you so that once you wake up you'll be perfectly fine. So be grateful and just wait! Kyuubi yelled.

Naruto turned away from Kyuubi, and went to see if Sasuke had said anything, he didn't.

After that day Sasuke hadn't really talked to Naruto. He just sat in his chair and watched him, looking for any movement. Sakura stopped by more frequently and let Sasuke sleep while she watched Naruto. Iruka still came over at his usual times with Kakashi too.

There you go kit, be grateful you're all healed up. Now I'm going to bed. Kyuubi gave Naruto control over his body again.

Naruto opened his eyes fully and turned his pupils to scan the room. No one was in it except for Sasuke who was currently drinking a glass of water the nurse had given him.

Naruto kept staring at him out of the corner of his eye not moving his head yet. Sasuke hadn't talked to him since that one time he was beating himself up.

"I failed!" Sasuke's words rang in Naruto's head. Naruto swallowed silently closing his eyes then reopening them and looking at Sasuke again.

Sasuke set down the glass of water opening his obsidian eyes. Then a noise caught his attention and he turned glaring to see what it was.

Naruto threw off his blankets and pounced on Sasuke.

Sasuke blinked a couple of times, no longer glaring. His mind drew a blank.

Naruto jumped over the arms of the chair and sat himself on Sasuke's lap. He clung onto the youngest Uchiha. Then presumable sobbed into Sasuke's shirt.

Sasuke looked at Naruto's hospital bed. It was empty and his heart skipped a beat. He instantly wrapped his arms around Naruto.

"Naruto!" He clung onto him tighter. "I'm sorry Naruto. I'm so sorry!"

He pet Naruto's head and nuzzled it with his cheek. His other hand was making circles on his back to try and calm Naruto down.

"I'm sorry!" Sasuke kept repeating this the whole time Naruto cried.

Naruto was still crying but just not as loud now. Sasuke kept repeating his apologies.

"Sa...Sasu...ke." Naruto sniffed.

Sasuke grabbed Naruto's head and pushed it into his neck.

"It's ok. I'm here. I've got you. You're ok." Sasuke kept reassuring him.
