Sigh, the poll of obsession is out. Apparently, I am going to make the next chapter of obsession the last one. But, it will be longer. Please vote! And, there is a chance of a sequel!

Alrighty, perhaps a few more chapters and Bitter Silence will end as well. But you guys can tell me if you want a side story about Neji and Gaara!

Chapter 13

Naruto's eyes blinked as he regained consciousness. He blinked his eyes again, to realise that he was in a different place. Turning his head to the side, he saw Iruka sitting at the side of the bed, sleeping lightly. Naruto tried to sit up and Iruka awoke at his action.

''Naruto! Thank goodness! You are awake! It has been three days!" Iruka said joyously. Naruto looked around the room. His vision was still a bit blurry. The last thing he could remember before he ended up in this foreign-looking place was that he collapsed at the steps of his house. He also noticed he was dressed in some sort of medical apparel and his legs were bandaged.

''That...Where am I?'' His father was starting to cry tears of joy.

''Hospital.''

''Hospital...huh..Sasuke..where is Sasuke?'' He remembered his lover all of sudden. He was not here. Upon hearing Sasuke's name, Iruka seemed to be crestfallen.

''What- Oi! Dad, don't scare me!'' Iruka's eyes glistened with tears as he stared at Naruto seriously.

''Naruto...Sasuke...He snapped. He snapped.'' Naruto's mind was filled with running thoughts. He only hoped that Sasuke did not succumb to insanity completely. Without a thought, he pulled the cables that were connected to him and bolted out of the door.

''Naruto! Where are you going! Naruto!'' Iruka tried to catch up to him but he could not. The blonde's running ability was as fast as the speed of a cheetah.

xoxo

''Sasuke. Sasuke. Where is his room?'' He said, frustrated. Several people in the hospital turned to look at him as if he was crazy. He was running with a limp and maybe some of his dressed wounds had reopened. He did not care. All he cared about was the raven.

As he passed a room, he heard a familiar voice.

''Don't touch me! Go away! Go away!'' Sasuke!

He burst the room door open and was met with the sight of a quivering raven and a nurse who was attempting to calm the raven down. Naruto wanted to cry. The expression on Sasuke's face was heart-wrenching. His eyes were wide and alert with his hands covering his ears. He slowly walked into the room and told the nurse to let him handle the situation. The nurse did not leave the room and remained at the corner just in case.

He crouched down and crawled towards Sasuke, trying to seem as non-threatening as possible.

''Sasuke,'' He started in a soft and gentle tone. ''Come here.'' Sasuke flinched when Naruto tried to reach out to touch him. Sasuke was in turmoil inside. He could not stop thinking about the rape. It was much more traumatising than the first one. He allowed them to violate him for Naruto but he felt dirty, filthy.

''Sasuke...''

Sasuke recognised the voice of his beloved and looked up. Naruto smiled gently at him and reached out to touch him again. Sasuke's eyes widened.

'No! Naruto! You will dirty your hands! I have to clean myself! Have to be clean!' Sasuke ran into the bathroom which was inside his hospital room and locked it.

''Sasuke! Open the door!'' Naruto banged on the door hard. He heard the sounds of water splashing and sobs. Desperate, he turned to the nurse who was standing by the side and told her to quickly get the key to the bathroom. The nurse acceded to his requests and came back a few minutes later with a key in her hand. This time, Iruka had followed her as well. He wanted to chide and scold him for leaving the room but as he saw the sad expression on Naruto's face, he decided not to. When the door was opened, Naruto hesitated a bit before looking inside. The raven was in the shower, scrubbing at himself with a sponge.

''Sasuke...'' Sasuke looked at him with his glassy eyes. He was completely drenched with water.

''Naruto..I am dirty. I am filthy. I don't deserve your love.'' He continued to scrub himself. Naruto shook his head profusely and ran to his side, not caring that the water was entering his reopened wounds. He tried to hug the raven but he struggled.

''NO! NO! NO! DON'T TOUCH ME! I AM DISGUSTING!'' He yelled and screamed at the top of his voice repeatedly. Naruto enveloped him in a hug against his will and held on while the raven bit his shoulder and raked his nails down his clothed back. He will not let him go again.

''You are not dirty. You are not filthy. You are my boyfriend and I love you no matter what, Sasuke.'' Upon hearing those words, Sasuke broke down and he wrapped his arms around Naruto as well, trying to comfort himself. They were clinging onto each other desperately as the water from the shower came down on them like rain. Iruka and the nurse watched the scene and cried for them as well.

''Sasuke. I love you.'' Naruto said one last time to Sasuke as Sasuke fell asleep in his arms again.

XOXO

After a few days, they were ready to be discharged from the hospital although the raven visibly has not recovered from his mental state. They wanted to keep Sasuke in the hospital longer to run a few more tests on him but Naruto managed to convince them to allow him to take him home. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

''So , Sasuke. Is it ok if you stay with me at my house for a while?" Sasuke was latching onto his arm like a child. Sasuke nodded. Naruto sighed. Now, the raven was more reclusive than ever. Naruto had to rely on his crutches to walk in a more stable manner. Luckily, Iruka was fetching him home and he mentioned that his boyfriend was coming alone as well. They were waiting for them inside the hospital room.

Naruto stared down at the raven. He seemed so broken. It was like he depended solely on Naruto now.

''Ah! Naruto! Sasuke! Let's go! Oh..before I forget, this is Hatake Kakashi, my boyfriend.''

'Hatake..as in Hatake- sensei?' Naruto thought. He turned towards them and saw Mr Hatake standing next to Iruka, with his arm wrapped around his waist. Iruka's cheeks burned brightly.

Naruto pointed at him in disbelief.

''Hata- Hata- Hatake- sensei!'' Sasuke just stared blankly before burying his face into Naruto's shoulder again.

''Yo!'' Kakashi put his hand up in greeting. ''Let's go! We are riding in my car! Isn't it fun!''

Naruto was narrowing his eyes. When they were not in school, he sure was hyper.

''Come on, Sasuke.'' He stood up along with the raven.

XOXO

''Ah! Home sweet home!'' The blonde was happy to be back home.

''Yeah, later. we are going to have dinner together!'' Iruka exclaimed. Dinner with his teacher? Boy, that was exciting. Not to mention that he was his boyfriend.

''Yeah, I love your cooking the most! Honey!.'' Kakashi said before kissing Iruka. Naruto stared at them, his face contorted to that of disgust. Sasuke just stared at them boredly.

'Spare me the mushy crap, please.' Naruto thought silently. If he were to say it out loud, his dad would probably lash out at him for being 'impolite'.

He pulled Sasuke along with him and went up to his room. They put their things down before Sasuke tackled him again. They fell onto the ground harshly with the blonde below. The blonde groan in pain but Sasuke nuzzled his neck lovingly. All Naruto could do was just hug him and wait for Iruka to finish preparing dinner.

XOXO

''Boys! Time for dinner!'' Naruto could hear Iruka from below and sat up with the raven still lying on top of him. He was sleeping so cutely. He nudged Sasuke gently.

''Sasuke...Wake up. We have to go downstairs to eat.'' Sasuke yawned and stretched. He got off the blonde and they went downstairs together.

Naruto's mouth watered at the sight of piping hot chicken soup with some of his favorite dishes. Sitting at the table was Hatake Kakashi. Guess they had no choice but to sit next to him.

''Cool! Thanks dad!'' Iruka came back carrying a plate of vegetables.

''You need all the nutrition! Eat up!''

''Yay!'' He grabbed a piece of roasted duck with a pair of chopsticks and wolfed it down. Then, he noticed the raven was not eating.

''Sasuke. Here.'' Naruto put a piece of fish on Sasuke's plate. Sasuke shook his head. He did not want to eat even though his stomach was growling.

''No, you have to eat. Here.'' Naruto said sternly. Scooping up some soup, he held a spoonful of it to Sasuke's lips. Sasuke opened his mouth a bit and drank the soup. For the rest of the dinner, Naruto spoonfed Sasuke, only eating after Sasuke felt full. Kakashi and Iruka watched their interaction while eating.

Then, after dinner, they settled down on the couch to watch some television. Kakashi sat at the couch opposite them and striked a conversation.

''So... Naruto...I never knew that you and Sasuke are dating.'' Naruto shifted his gaze to him.

''Well, you never told me that you and dad are dating.'' Kakashi's eyes twitched in annoyance. Was this a jibe at him? Nevertheless, he continued,

''So...How did you guys end up in the hospital in the first place.'' This sparked a reaction in Sasuke as the raven started to hyperventilate. He screamed and kicked around.

'Oh no...He thought of it.' The blonde tried to calm him down but it was futile. So, he had to think of a painful way which could only stop him. He punched him hard until he was knocked out. The sobs ceased and the raven dropped into his arms. Kakashi could only regret asking that question while Iruka and Naruto stared at the limp body sadly.

''Sorry, Sasuke.'' The blonde muttered brokenly before cradling the body in his arms. That was when the tears fell free. It would seem that Sasuke is not in a suitable condition to go to school tomorrow. It is also time that Naruto had a few words with the Hyuuga

XOXO

Haix...Extra loooooooooooong this time eh? I should think that the next chapter might be the last one. But chances of a sequel which focuses on NejiXGaara is highly possible! Well, tell me about it! if ya want it! Review this pathetic chapter if you wanna! Thanks :DDD

Ja!
