Chapter Twnety one- Time of Dying Final Part
Naruto's POV
When Temari came running back crying for help, yelling that Sasuke had been abducted, I immediately knew by whom. As quick as I could I contacted my father and explained him the situation leaving out most of the detail cause I didn't want to freak out the whole camp. It was Kakashi who came to pick me up, and Temari insisted on coming with us. In the car I gave them both more detail about Sasuke's past and Kakashi retold the story to Yondaime by his cell.
Both me dad and Kakashi had already suspected that something wasn't quite right due to Sasuke's behaviour and had an FBI agent watching Itachi and Fugaku movements, but without any physical evidence, none of them could do anything, and each time my dad or Kakashi had tried to get Sasuke to confess, he wouldn't cooperate.
During the begging of the party at the hotel, the FBI agent sent a message to my dad informing him that Itachi had vanished, but he still had watch over Fugaku. After I contacted my dad, he replied to the agent to keep a closer eye on Fugaku. Not long after the agent replied saying that Fugaku headed somewhere to the base of the hotel. Father sent him back a message to wait for back up.
I was happy. So happy that I even started crying at a point, and when I walked into the room to find Sasuke alive and standing I felt so much joy. I had made it in time.
"Sasuke…" I smiled weakly.
"Naruto…" Sasuke straitened up and our eyes connected. It seemed as though he was trying to smile. He made a gesture to walk forward but suddenly froze. The happiness I had on my face changed into confusion when I noticed his eyes were turning darker than usual and they became unfocused. Something clear fell out of his hand and landed on the floor with a surprisingly loud crash for something so small.
"Sasuke?"
Unrecognizable eyes met mine and his body fell forward and landed on the floor with a heavy thud.
"S-Sasuke!" Around me Sasuke's name echoed in a wave of chorus from everyone who realised what was happening. I ran for his body and rolled him over onto his back. "Sasuke!" Kakashi and Temari followed behind me, but they didn't kneel down beside him like I was. Kakashi immediately took out his phone and no doubt was phoning for an ambulance. Temari stood motionless with her hands cupping over her mouth. I had the feeling she was trying hard not to scream.
"Sasuke…" I pressed my head to his chest and listened to his heartbeat. I froze as I heard it slowing done till I couldn't hear it no more. "Damn it…Sasuke…" I placed my hand to his neck feeling for a pulse, but there was none. "Now's not the time for this! Don't you dare leave Sasuke! You hear me Sasuke? Oy Sasuke get up! GET UP!"
"Hn…" I heard two smirks behind and faced the two remaining Uchiha's.
"It's useless," said Itachi. "Where he is, he can't hear you."
"Shut up!" It wasn't me, but my dad who had said this. "Get those two out of here!" he instructed.
"Shit…" I focused back on Sasuke and noticed the shattered remains of the vial. Sasuke had been holding ii in his hand. He couldn't have drunk any it… "Bastard!" I grabbed onto his shoulders and shook him slightly. "Don't you dare die or I'll kill you myself!"
"Naruto calm down!" Kakashi gripped me by my shoulder, "we arrived to late-"
"NOO!" I shook him off. "SASUKE BASTARD! DON'T YOU DARE GO TOWARDS THE LIGHT! Next to me Temari had fallen to her knees with tears dripping from her eyes like a leaking faucet.
"Kakashi," my dad approached us. "Please take her out of the room. I don't want her to see when we remove the body."
Kakashi nodded. He placed his hands on Temari's shoulders.
"Come."
"NO!" She screamed. "NO, NO, NO, NO SASUKE!!!" She took a deep breath and just screamed.
Her scream deafened me as I tried to listen for Sasuke's breathing, but I hadn't been getting anything.
"Damn it!" I opened his mouth further and preformed CPR. Again, and again, and again, and again, until…
"Son…" my dad placed his hand on my shoulder. "The ambulance is here, stop now."
"I refuse…"
"I'm sorry."
"I refuse to believe it…."
Temari had gone into silent sobs.
"Well even if you choose not to accept it, he's gone." Said Kakashi, "crying about it won't bring him back."
I stood up so fast, my head got dizzy. "How can you guys be standing there so calmly?" I yelled, "Sasuke…he…we…we couldn't do anything! And I knew about it to…I knew about the horrible shit he went through and I didn't say anything…" I broke off crying…."I could've saved him….but I didn't say anything…I could've stopped…."
"Now don't try to put the blame on yourself!" said my dad.
"Excuse us?" The ambulance people stood by the door.
"He's this way," said Kakashi, leading them to the body. "Time of death, I'd say for nearly ten minutes. We have evidence that the cause was from poison."
"Anything else?" Asked the person in charge, the other's loaded the body onto a stretcher.
"He was given CPR and a sample of the poison was sent to a lab for identification."
"Please let us know the results."
"As soon as I can."
"Thank you."
We stood aside as they passed with the body.
"We should go…" said my dad. "Kakashi, please find Temari's parents and return her to them and stay with my son at our hotel."
He nodded.
"Come on you two."
This time we obeyed. Deep down we knew there was nothing else that could be done.
45 minutes later
Blamed for his mother's death, rapped by his brother, and abused by his father. Was there anyone who could save him from his living hell? The answer is no. I had the chance to save him though. I could've prevented it from happening, but I didn't. Thanks to my foolishness today a good friend of mine lost his life. Sorry Sasuke…
My thoughts were interrupted as the phone rang. I didn't answer because I knew Kakashi would. I rolled over on the bed onto my back and stared out the window.
"Sasuke…wherever you are…may you rest in peace…"
