Itsu Made Mo, Dobe
By Monkan
Chapter 7 - Two souls connected by fate
Sasuke blinked as the sun light hit him when he opened his eyes. He let out a low groan as the pain went through his head. Why did it have to be so bright when you open your eyes? The next thing Sasuke knew was the flash of memories. He had fallen down, somewhere and...
"So you're awake now."
Sasuke looked toward the voice and tried to make out the shape of his saviour. All he saw was a man coming closer and that he had bright pants and a black shirt.
Sasuke tried to sit up but found it rather painful as the muscles in his shoulder and leg protested and he got light-headed.
Groaning as he felt a pair of hand on his chest that pushed him down again.
Sasuke's throat felt dry when he tried to speak. The other person edging closer he lifted Sasuke's head up carefully and brought the bottle to Sasuke's lips. Sasuke drank thankfully of the water he was given. It tasted incredibly good. Never in a long time had he tasted something this good, at least in that moment he thought so. Then the next thing he felt was the soft touch on his head. He then realized how close the other person sat to him and it was enough for him to choke on some of the water.
Sasuke coughed as he felt some of the water spill down over his chin as he tried to get the water that was stuck in his throat to disappear.
Once he stopped coughing he was laid back down with his jacket under his head.
Then he knew nothing again.
******
Sasuke woke up to the sound of voices around him. They sounded familiar but he couldn't quite place them. As he felt he was about to sink back into the comfort of sleep he heard a high piercing voice.
"SASUKE~KUN."
Ok, he was awake. There was no way he could go back to sleep with that voice around him. Sasuke groaned as he tried to open his eyes. Finding it harder then he was used to.
"He opened his eyes." Some one said.
"Stay back so I can check on him again." That should be Iruka sensei, so they found him. Next Sasuke knew was some one touching his face and then felt around his chest, arms and leg. It didn't hurt but it felt. Wait hadn't he just fallen down into a pitch or something? Then why was he feeling better then he did the first time he woke.....
Sasuke's eyes opened wide as he came to stare into Iruka-sensei's relieved face.
Iruka smiled down at Sasuke. "You're finally awake." He was about to say more but when he saw the look on Sasuke's face the words died on his tongue. "What's wrong? Does it hurt somewhere?"
Sasuke didn't reply or seemed to actually see Iruka so he made the older man extremely nervous. "Sasuke? Sasuke are you all right?" When he still got no response from the black haired boy he slapped him across the cheek. Earning a loud protest from the girls behind for slapping their Sasuke-kun. But it did have an effect for the boy focused on him.
"Sasuke?" Iruka tried again.
Sasuke looked around to see that he was back at the meadow with his class around him. "How did I get here?" He asked Iruka. Sasuke couldn't see much for the sun was still right in his eyes.
"He brought you here." Iruka pointed at some one over his shoulder. "We were going to go look for you when we couldn't find you anywhere when he came out of the woods carrying you."
After that the rest of the class came closer and everyone of the girls started to talk about how worried they had been. Sasuke raised his arm to take a look at his saviour. Before him stood a blond boy that Sasuke only had whished to see again. Their eyes locked as they just stared at each other without hearing what the others said.
Iruka had to push them back along with the other teacher Saehara. Naruto and Sasuke didn't seem to notice it. "Nice to see you awake again, Sasuke." Naruto had the ghost of a smile on his lips.
"Naruto." That was all Sasuke could get out, his mind was racing. Naruto was here with him again. He was still around.
"You two already know each other?" Iruka asked when he walked back to them.
"We've met before." Naruto just said as he took a few steps closer to the other boy. Sasuke's breath caught in his throat.
Naruto stopped just as few steps away from Sasuke before he kneeled down, never breaking eye contact with the older boy.
"Can you tell me what happen to Sasuke?" Iruka asked Naruto.
Naruto looked away from Sasuke and at Iruka instead. "He fell down an old animal pitch. The roof on his had probably gotten weaker with time and when Sasuke stepped on it, it couldn't handle the pressure and he fell down and hit his head. Luckily for him I was near by and hear him when he fell down."
Naruto looked back at Sasuke. "You were pretty lucky you didn't break your spine when you hit the ground. It was covered with stones."
Sasuke began to feel a little strange as his head once again began to hurt. Iruka noticed it. "We should get you back to Konoha's hospital. It could be serious when you hit your head."
"He'll be fine, I healed most of his wounds once I got him up." Iruka looked back at Naruto along with everyone else.
*Are he a medical nin?* As if sensing what went through Iruka's head Naruto answered his silent question.
"No, I'm not a medic nin. I'm self learned on how to survive." Naruto stood up again. "Even then you should see a doctor. You should be fine except for the fact that you will be..."
Any more Naruto was about to say to Sasuke was washed away roughly as a wave of nauseous came over Sasuke making him hold his stomach and crawl quickly to the other side of the tree he was leaning against and vomited. Iruka followed Sasuke while another teacher held back the rest of the class. (AN: The fan girls of course... -_-;)
"... ill for a few hours." Naruto finished as he stood still for a moment before walking around to Iruka and Sasuke.
"Are you alright?" Iruka asked once Sasuke was done emptying his stomach.
"I fell awful." Sasuke said in a dry voice.
Naruto sighed. It felt like his heart would die. It really hurt him so see Sasuke like that. *If only I could hold him and make it better for him...* The next moment he was beating himself up. *Where the hell did that come from? I've been mentally affected by Kyuubi and his lovesick ex. boyfriends. It must be that. It have to be that.*
As Naruto had a mental debate with himself Iruka looked into Sasuke's face for a moment. Sasuke looked more pale then he normally does. "Do you think you can stand up?" Sasuke nodded. "Good, you and I are going to make a visit to the hospital. To make sure nothing is wrong with you." Iruka then gently but firmly grabbed Sasuke's arm to help him stand up. The world swayed as Sasuke tried to catch his balance again. Iruka put one of Sasuke's arms around his shoulders. "Can you lend a hand?" Iruka asked Naruto, dragging him out of his mental debate.
On the outside Naruto just shrugged. "Sure." He took Sasuke's free arm and laid it around his waist. His own arm came to rest around Sasuke's, helping him to keep his balance. Neither realized that they were both blushing at their closeness. They then walked back tot he others.
"I'm taking Sasuke back to the village, you stay here and continue your field trip with mr. Saehara."
Most of the girls sighed in disappointment as Sasuke and Iruka walked back to the village. Some of them wished they were that blond haired stranger. Just to have their Sasuke-kun arm around them. The rest of the girls had slightly dreaming eyes as they watched the stranger leave with Sasuke. The rest went back to their work.
********
Later Naruto was walking back through the forest and back to his mission. *Time to complete it.* He thought back to after they reached Konoha. They visited the hospital just to have the doctor giving Sasuke a clean bill of health. Except for the nausea he felt alright.
Then they had seen to it that Sasuke got home before both leaving. Iruka told Sasuke that he should stay home tomorrow and if he felt just a little dizzy in the morning. Naruto just said a low good bye before just walking back toward the clearing and headed back to his work. Work, is it that he call's his missions? He had been doing this far to long to think of it as missions anymore. It was after all his life. He then reached into his bag to grab onto his holster and strapped it back onto his leg. It had been a good thing he had removed it before finding Sasuke's friends. Or else he probably would had had more questions from both the guy's and girls if he really used it and more on subjects he didn't want to talk about.
He never thought he would see the day when girls would practically drool over his shoulder. He had made it a habit not to be the one standing out. He never thought of himself as a gorges guy. Not taking to much time with his appearance, he really didn't think it was important. Besides, hadn't all the guy's that fall for him when he expressed Kyuubi's feelings told him how envious they were of him. His hand came within touch of something that didn't belong in his bag. He pulled out a book. When he looked through it he saw that it was full of drawings. Then it hit him hard.
*Kuso, this is Sasuke's. How did I forget to leave this?* Naruto sighed as he held it closer to his chest. Naruto still felt the shiver that went down his spine as he had pushed Sasuke back down on the ground when he tried to get up just a few minutes after Naruto had gotten him back up out of the hole.
*I can't have it around when I'm working or else they will be able to find it and I don't want to think of the out come it could get. If worse they could find and kill Sasuke and that is the last thing I would ever want.*
\\You can just burn it to save you the trouble.\\ Kyuubi suggested.
*I know but I can't do it to him, he spend too much time with this to just let it go to waste.* Naruto thought through his options when he started to walk toward Hidden Leaf.
But he stopped as he was at the memorial. He looked at the stone surface. In the top left corner was the smiling face of a man with short spiked hair and he was looking down toward the opposite corner. An ANBU tattoo was by his side. In the other corner was the face of a smiling man with strands hanging around his face as the rest stood out in spikes on the back of his head. His face tilted slightly up as if he was watching the other man too. The sign of the Uchiha clan was behind him. On the edges around them were soft craved flowers. They where blooming like in the spring when they are most beautiful. In the middle was the word that would stand for eternity, the words that would survive time and never be completely forgotten. It wasn't words of their courage or lives. He heard that when they did the memorial they didn't knew what to write so they wrote down the words of a song they knew both of their friends liked.
Sotto, sotto hitomi tojite kimi wo kanjite iru
mata kaze ni sasowarete hito wa sora wo miageru aenai yoru wa hoshi ni negai wo kakeru no
hontou no watashi ga ite daremo wakaranai kedo
koko ni iru kara matte iru kara kimi dake wa kitzuite!
zutto, zutto yume wo miteru omoi ga itsuka todoku you ni
sotto, sotto hitomi tojiru
kiete shimawanai de...
Naruto read the words and he felt that they hit something inside of him, something deeper then he could understand. It felt like he was falling back to a time when he was truly happy, some place where he had felt he had belonged and was needed, where he was loved. Only he had never lived something like that in his whole life. Always a fight to survive and live with what he was destined to carry by him. To be the outcast that didn't belong anywhere.
What was more was that he could feel the light of the place as he heard laughter and the friendly air as it surrounded him. Somewhere he wanted to be even if it just was a moment in time. He heard name's in the laughter and knew they where spoken in sincere emotions from who ever said them....
... Naruto, you've gotten better. If I didn't know you better I would say you are finally growing up, dobe....
... You only wish, no matter what I won't change who I am. I will only get stronger so I can beat you, baka...
... In your dreams, dobe...
... You are always in my dreams...
... And I'm happy for having you in my life...
... I won't leave you, Sasuke...
... Never?...
... Never, you are stuck with me...
... I wouldn't want it any other way...
... Forever, Sasuke...
... Forever, dobe...
................bastard................
Just as sudden he had fallen into the memories Naruto was back at reality. Shaking his head as he turned to go after Sasuke and return the sketch book. Leaving what just happen in the back of his mind.
Meanwhile at the graves of Konoha's greatest hero's, the lines that made the image on the memorial began to change. Some of the flowers dropped their blades like they do in the late summer, both face's smiled more at each other then they had before. While the tree near by moved with the wind making some of the students that sat closest to it raise their head's and look at it. It sounded like it was crying. Most chock their head as they left it as a part of their imagination. Little did they know that on the other side of the trunk that always lay in the shadow, an old mark began to come back into view after it had been forgotten for so long by history.
Tbc... Author Note: I'm really in the mode right now as I write. I have made 3-4 new chapters already. Since this one was the last one I made before I started to post here, I think it was pretty well done of me. I just have to change them a little and polish them. Well then it's what 11.06 pm and I'm soon going to sleep. But it won't take to long to update next one.
My other story on the other hand, What You Left Me, chapter 3 is not even started yet. I wrote the first chapter the day I got the idea and posted it right away when I got to school. Then I just was lucky I made chapter 2 so soon. *Scratches my head*
Well to answer one of the reviews I got. I don't have a beta-reader. I'm doing this totally solo. I sometimes ask my English teacher about some words and how they are spelled but that's it. Sorry that my gramma is really bad sometimes.
Preview: I'm not going to tell you much of the next one other then this. The title of the chapter speech pretty well everything about it. Chapter 8 – Watch Your Steps.
I didn't know where I was heading until I throw Kyuubi's first sentence in that story at myself. That was the key for me.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, Kishimoto Masashi does.^_^.
