===========================================

When they arrived, the screaming nurse was against a wall as her eyes filled with terror and shock. The other nurses came to help her stand when the doctor asked her something

"Nurse? What's wrong?" The doctor asked

"In ... In there!" The nurse pointed at the door that was a little closed

The doctor turned towards the door and opened it in one movement as he quickly placed his hand over his mouth and stepped back.

"What's wrong?" Sakura as ked as she was about to join the doctor when Kakashi blocked her way

"Sakura, stay there" Kakashi ordered her as he took a look to what was behind the door

The moment Kakashi looked in the room, the floor was covered by a red substance, blood. Two bodies seemed to have been ripped apart by a savage animal. Kakashi looked closer as he saw the heads had been severed from their bodies.

A nurse stepped next to Kakashi as she took a quick look to know who the bodies belonged to.

"It's that bitch and bastard from last night ..." The nurse murmured to Kakashi as she walked out quickly ready to throw up

"Naruto ..." Kakashi thought as he stared at the horrific scene

============================================================================ ======================

*Konoha Hospital*

The evil nurse and doctor entered a dark, but empty hospital bedroom. The doctor wraps his arms around the nurse as he lifted her so she could sit on the bed.

As both doctor and nurse locked lips and let out a few moans, they stopped kissing immediately the moment they heard some noises coming from within the closet.

"What the hell?" The doctor said as he stared at the closet door

"Forget about it ... Let's just ignore it and continue where we left off dear ..." The nurse replied as she grabbed the doctor for another kiss

At first they ignored it and continued they little activities until it became quite clear they weren't alone at all.

The door of the closet slowly opened as it was still pitch black. From within dark darkness, two clear red eyes glowed.

"What the hell? What are you doing here?" The doctor suddenly asked with an angry expression

"I want ... Your blood ..." The creature answered

When the doctor was about to move, the creature disappeared to only reappear as he slashed the doctor's throat. The doctor's blood splattered as he fell on the ground, and bled to death.

The nurse was shocked as her lover's blood had splashed against her face. She was about to scream, when a hand wrapped his arms around her neck and squeezed until he finally broke her neck.

The creature then slashed continuously the bodies with it's claws and then cut off their heads. He then stood in the darkness, as he licked the blood off his fingers and gave a grin with a evil laughter.

============================================================================ ======================

*Naruto's Apartment*

Sasuke was in the bathroom as he took several bandages here and there. He then walked to the kitchen to get some water for Naruto as he crossed the bloody wall. He stood there as he remembered the feeling he felt the moment he found the blond twice covered in blood.

"What happened Naruto ...?" Sasuke thought until he heard a loud scream coming form Naruto's bedroom

"Aaahhhhh!!!" Naruto yelled out form his bedroom

Sasuke dropped what he was carrying as he rushed immediately to the blond's room and side. The moment Sasuke set foot in Naruto's room, he saw that something was very wrong. Naruto's blue eyes were covered with such a fearful expression, as his body trembled.

Without a second thought, Sasuke grabbed a warm blanket as he stood beside the blond and wrapped him securely in it. As he was about to place his hand on Naruto's shoulder, the blond immediately slapped it away and gave Sasuke a cold stare.

"Get away from me! Leave me alone!" Naruto yelled out as he looked angry

"Baka. I'm only trying to ..." Sasuke started when Naruto threw the blanket straight in Sasuke's face

Sasuke tossed the blanket aside easily, but it never prepared him for what Naruto was about to do. Naruto tackled Sasuke as the boy slammed into the wall at a great force.

Naruto was on his knees as he managed to get up. Naruto felt a slight pain on his worse wounds as he heard the voice talking to him.

"You idiot, we both haven't regained our strength! This isn't the time to ..." Kyubi told him

"Urousai you stupid fox!" Naruto yelled out

Sasuke stood up as he looked at Naruto as he wondered who he was talking to. Sasuke tried to approach as he noticed that one of Naruto's wound opened.

"Snap out of it !" Sasuke yelled out as he tackled Naruto on the bed

Sasuke was on top of Naruto as both his hands pressed firmly on Naruto's wrists, preventing him from doing anything to him.

"Dobe" Sasuke told the blond

"Sa ...Sasuke?" Naruto let out as he stopped struggling

Sasuke looked carefully into Naruto's eyes to see the fear and anger had suddenly vanished.

"Why are you on top of me?" Naruto asked

Sasuke's face suddenly turned red as he jumped off the blond and sat next to him instead, trying to cover up his face.

"Can't let him see me like this." Sasuke told himself as he felt the redness go away

"Itai ..." Naruto let out as he sat up on his bed and touched carefully his wrists

Sasuke immediately looks to notice his grip had been a bit more stronger than he thought, as the bandages started to change in the colour of red once more. In a weak attempt, Sasuke placed his hand over Naruto's wrists, as the blue eyed boy turned his head to look at Sasuke.

"Why are you doing that?" Naruto asked innocently

"Because ..." Sasuke started as he rolled his eyes

"Because what?" Naruto asked

"Why the hell am I doing that!?" Sasuke mentally asked himself

"Are you ok?" Naruto asked a little worried

Sasuke withdrew his hand quickly as he stood up and took a certain distance from Naruto.

"Nightmare?" Sasuke asked as he changed the subject of conversation

"Huh?" Naruto replied

"You were practically screaming your lungs out" Sasuke stated as he leaned against the wall behind him

"Oh ... Nothing, just forget it ..." Naruto replied as his expression changed from confused to sad and a bit scared

Naruto simply lowered his head and stared at the ground as Sasuke carefully watched every move Naruto made to try and understand.

============================================================================ ======================

*Konoha Hospital*

The Anbu squad were taking care of the bodies, as other Anbus gathered information concerning the scene. Another Anbu walked up to Kakashi as he asked him several questions.

Sakura on the other hand was so shocked by the event, that she stood there silent, as she had a firm grip on Kakashi's right sleeve.

"Hokage wants to see you immediately." The Anbu informed him

Kakashi nodded as the Anbu left to go back to the scene. Kakashi then looked down to his right, seeing a very much shocked Sakura.

"Let's get you out of here." Kakashi told her as she followed him without any hesitation

============================================================================ ======================

*Konoha Streets*

Kakashi dropped Sakura off to her house, as an Anbu team stayed with her until he could come back.

"Sakura, I know you're shocked and want an explanation but this time even I don't know much, so please stay here until I come back." Kakashi told her as he disappeared in smoke with the sound 'poof' accompanying it

Sakura stared outside a moment as she ten walked inside her house, worried about Sasuke and Naruto.

============================================================================ ======================

*Hokage Tower*

Hokage met Kakashi privately to talk about the murders that took place at the Hospital.

"Honestly Kakashi. What do you think happened?" Hokage asked staring at the sun

"Honestly, Hokage-sama, everything points towards Naruto that killed those two. After all, the staff people talked about those two saying quite some bad things about our hyperactive boy. But then again ..." Kakashi started as Hokage finished for him

"We would of felt the Nine Tail's chakra." Hokage finished

"Hai, even though the seal is damaged, we would of detected the moment Kyubi's chakra leaked out. Naruto isn't the one who did this." Kakashi stated

"I agree. So now we have a beast roaming in our village and we know nothing of these new enemies." Hokage informed the teacher

"Your orders then Hokage-sama" Kakashi asked

"Currently, we need to keep a close eye on Naruto and find out what we can about these ninjas. Find out what they really want." Hokage mentioned

"Understood." Kakashi replied as he vanished

"This could get ugly ..." Hokage thought as he turned around to sit back at his desk

============================================================================ ======================

*Naruto's Apartment*

A long silence filled Naruto's room as both boys stared at each other while several thoughts crossed their minds.

"What the hell is this feeling!? I want to go over to him and comfort him, but then I'm suppose to be cold and his my rival ..." Sasuke told himself as he looked at the blond

"Why? Why did I felt actually better when he was close to me? All I had to do was lean a bit and ... What the hell am I thinking!!??" Naruto mentally told himself

' Knock Knock '

Both boys turned their heads towards the sound.

"I'll go get it" Sasuke said as he walked out of the room to go answer the door

Sasuke opened the door and was surprised by the person that stood there. There stood Kakashi with his Come Come Paradise book in hand.

"What are you doing here?" Sasuke let out

"How's Naruto?" Kakashi asked as he placed the book back into his pocket

"How did you..." Sasuke started

"I know where my students are at all time, and that includes when they sneak out of my house at 5 a.m." Kakashi pointed out with a smile

"Whatever" Sasuke responded as he tried to hide his emotions

Kakashi walks in as Sasuke closes the door behind him.

"Naruto's awake, but something is definitely creeping that idiot out" Sasuke told his sensei as he leaned against the door

"I heard that you bastard!" Naruto yelled out as he stood in the door frame and used it for support

Kakashi and Sasuke immediately turned their attention towards the blond, as he slid down to land on his butt. Sasuke immediately rushed over, as Kakashi closely watched Sasuke and the blond.

"For someone who doesn't seem to care, you sure move fast when it comes to Naruto." Kakashi thought

Sasuke kneeled next to Naruto as he gave him a hand to help him stand up. Kakashi couldn't help but give away a little smile.

"Baka, I told you to stay in bed, you're injures haven't healed up yet." Sasuke warned as he helped to boy to his feet

"Naruto, I need to know what a certain nurse and doctor were talking about." Kakashi asked and waited for an answer

Naruto looked at the ground, as his hand twitched a little due to the question. Kakashi notices that Naruto seems angry in a way with his question so he steps forward to placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"It's best if I know what they were saying ..." Kakashi spoke softly

"They're dead aren't they?" Naruto asked his sensei as he looked straight into his eyes

Kakashi's eyes showed that he was surprised by Naruto's answer as Sasuke merely tried to understand the situation.

"What are you talking about Kakashi?" Sasuke asked

"At the hospital, a nurse and doctor were found brutally murdered. And they happen to be the ones that talked badly about Naruto. Am I wrong?" Kakashi asked the blond

"Leave me alove ..." Was the answer Naruto gave as he pushed himself away from Sasuke

"I'm serious Naruto" Kakashi repeated with a much more serious tone

"Hey you're not seriously thinking that dobe here could of killed him? Hell he can't even kill a fly" Sasuke pointed out

The moment Sasuke finished his phrase, he felt a punch land right next to his head that came from Naruto. Sasuke stood still as he stared into the eyes of Naruto that seemed really angry.

"You're just like the rest of those bastards Sasuke. I'm good for nothing, you all see me as someone useless, pathetic. And you probably wish the same as well. Just like the whole Village wished I'd just die last night. Maybe it would have been better if I did, I bet you'd all be happy if that happened" Naruto stated

The next thing Naruto saw was Sasuke's fist connecting to his jaw. Naruto hit the ground fast as he didn't even bother to stand up. As Sasuke was about to land another blow to the blond, Kakashi stopped him form doing so.

"I may not know what happened Naruto, but not everyone hates you. I'll come back later to check up on you." Kakashi said to the blond as this one evaded his teacher's eyes

"You're just going to leave like that!?" Sasuke shouted

Kakashi leaned down to whisper something into his student's ear.

"Watch over him carefully. His mind is very fragile right now. I'm counting on you." Kakashi whispered into his ear as he vanished once again in smoke

"You're leaving me alone to deal with him!? Man I like him better when he's annoying than like that." Sasuke told himself as he turned around to have a look at Naruto

Naruto pressed his hands against the floor to help himself up, as his look didn't change, he was still furious over what Kakashi had asked and told him. Sasuke found the courage as he walked back into Naruto's room and kneeled before the blond.

"I don't want your pity! Deep down you're laughing at me like you always do, so just leave me alone already." Naruto demanded as he stood up

"Naruto, do you see me laughing right now?" Sasuke asked calmly

Naruto looked over at Sasuke to see the boy was serious when he said that phrase to him. Naruto thought for a moment as he looked away from Sasuke, until the boy forced him to look at him.

"Naruto, I don't hate you and I would never laugh at you, so please can't you explain to me what's wrong or went wrong?" Sasuke asked with serious eyes

"Yeah right. I'm starting to wish I did die, this Village would be better off without me anyway. And I'm about to grant their so desired wish." Naruto said

Sasuke didn't quite understand until Naruto pushed him back a little, as in his other hand he had a kunai in hand. Naruto pointed it towards his neck, as Sasuke's eyes widened.

"Naruto don't do it!" Sasuke yelled out as he froze in place from the shock

"Get this in your head Sasuke, no one cares, and I'm tired of having these awful feelings." Naruto responded as he prepared to give himself a fatal blow

"Why do I feel like this? Even though he's an idiot, he's my idiot. I don't want to loose him ...he the only person in this forsaken Village that didn't put me on a scale like everyone else... I can't loose you ... Naruto ..." Sasuke's thoughts trailed in his mind as he looked with horror at what Naruto's action was about to do

Sasuke quickly rushed towards Naruto, as the kunai pierced Sasuke's left hand. Even though his left hand was injured, Sasuke wrapped that hand around Naruto's wrist as he stopped the kunai from going near the blond's neck.

Sasuke used his other free hand to hold down the free hand of Naruto, as Naruto was both shocked and surprised by what Sasuke just did.

"Naze...?" Was the only word Naruto let out with eyes wide open

"Because ... I care about you ...and I don't want to loose you ..." Sasuke whispered to the boy while he ignored his wounded hand

"You ... Care ...?" Naruto mumbled as his eyes showed a very sad expression

"I'll prove it to you Uzumaki Naruto ..." Sasuke spoke as he felt Naruto's grip on the kunai loosened

The kunai fell to the ground, as Sasuke's wounded hand grabbed hold of Naruto's. Sasuke used his other hand to slide from Naruto's arm all the way to his neck. Once his hand reached the blond's neck, he pulled the boy closer to him as their lips finally met.

At first, Naruto didn't know quite what to do, until he felt Sasuke's grip get more intense, drawing him closer to his body.

After a little while, Sasuke pulled back his lips as he gazed into those blues eyes.

"You really care?" Naruto asked

Sasuke placed his hand on Naruto's cheek and smiled.

"You really are an idiot ... Guess I'll have to prove it again then" Sasuke said as he leaned forward to kiss Naruto's lips again

The difference is, this time, Naruto reacted to Sasuke's kiss, as the blond kissed back and closed his eyes.
