Kiba sat back down still staring. Everyone's attention in listening to this man had gone up about 50 miles. Even Shikamaru was listening with rapt attention.
"Now, as I was saying, our company needs to see if this place is able to inhabit humans. We are willing to pay one million U.S. dollars to the people that go there to take a look."
"One million for the whole group," breathed Shikamaru. "So we'd each get $83,333 dollars."
"Damn, that's a lot of money. Why so much?" Naruto asked.
"Are you familiar with the organization Akatsuki?" the thin man asked.
Most of the people in the room shook their heads. Naruto, on the other hand, froze and his eyes went wide. Sasuke yelled, "WHAT THE FUCK?! YOU MEAN WE'RE GOING TO BE STAYING WITH THE AKATSUKI FOR A MONTH?!" (A/N: I know that it never directly says anything about Sasuke knowing about the Akatsuki in the manga or anime, so we're just going to pretend that Sasuke made Kakashi tell him, ok?)
"It'll only be one of them," said the fat man. Sasuke relaxed a bit. Then he frowned.
"Which one?" he asked.
"Uchiha Itachi."
Sasuke blanched. $83,333 was not enough to risk his life and/or sanity for.
"Forget it," he said. "I'm not spending a minute, let alone a month, with that person. Not even for $83,333."
The fat man blinked. "$83,333? I'm afraid you're confused my boy," he said.
"No, you're confused. You said you'd pay us one million, right? Well, divide that by twelve and that's $83,333," Sasuke said.
The fat man smiled again. "Yes, I said we'd pay you one million. What I meant was one million each."
Sasuke froze, as did everyone else. One million each? That was crazy! Did the company even have that much to give away?
"One...million...each?" Sasuke said slowly.
The fat man nodded. "One million each."
Sasuke thought. One million dollars would support him for life. He could probably hire all of Konoha to go kill Itachi for him, and still live into retirement. Then again, there was no guarantee that Itachi wouldn't kill him whole they were together, and even if he didn't he would probably drive Sasuke insane. Was one million dollars really worth his sanity?
The fat man seemed to notice Sasuke debating. "If you're worried that he's going to kill you or drive you insane, I can assure he won't. I have his name on a contract saying that he will not kill anyone while he is at the castle. Or drive them insane."
Sasuke looked skeptical. "Show me the contract, and then I'll believe you. Maybe."
The thin man reached into his briefcase and pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Sasuke. Sasuke scanned over the paper. It stated that the people who signed this contract were to inflict no physical, mental or emotional harm upon the people that would be staying with them in Ishiyama castle for the month, and if they did, then they wouldn't get the million dollars. That was good. He looked at the signature at the bottom of the paper.
Sasuke knew the signature instantly. Yes, this was his brother's signature. Sasuke relaxed a little. Ok, one million was worth staying in an old castle with Itachi for a month, seeing as he could do him no harm. He handed the contract back to the thin man and sat down.
"Now, seeing as you are all children, and I doubt that the world's strongest missing nin is going to look after you, we are going to send along some chaperones as well," the fat man said.
"What kind of chaperones?" asked Neji.
"Your sensei's, the Godaime and Jiraiya," the thin man said.
Sasuke let out a small sigh of relief. Itachi wouldn't have been able to do anything to him anyway. Maybe. The Uchiha sat back down.
"So, now that you know all of what is going on, we have a sheet that you need to sign," said the fat man. "Your sensei's, the Godaime and Jiraiya have already seen this presentation, so they were informed that you wouldn't bee attending mission's today. They have already signed the sheet, as has Itachi. It is simple a contract that stats you are going of your own free will to Ishiyama castle, that we are not responsible for any injury that you may gain while there and when the month is over you will get one million dollars, if you are still alive. Which, I do not doubt, you will be. Just sign at the bottom, we have a pen to pass around."
The thin man took another sheet of paper out of his briefcase along with a pen. He gave it to Chouji, who signed it then passed it to the next person. There was no surprise that no one had any hesitation to sign the contract as it was passed from one person to the next.
When the last person (Sakura) had signed the contract, she gave it back to the thin man, who put it back in his briefcase.
The rest of the meeting consisted of slides showing the rooms, grounds, and surrounding landscape of Ishiyama castle. It was quite large, even by a castle's standards. It had enough bedrooms to fit all of the people who had agreed to go, a large kitchen, dining room to fit 50 people at least, two area's that could be dubbed as lounge and a third that had been made into a living/T.V. room. There was also an attic, basement, tea room, dungeon and boiler room. Out on the grounds there were a bathing quarters, outhouse and dojo with a training area. There were four major courtyards, on each side of the castle. The was a small lake at the edge of the west courtyard that was mostly surrounded by Sakura trees. There was also a pond in the south courtyard. The castle and gate were surrounded by a forest, and there was a door in the gate that led to that forest and the mountains. Possibly the nicest feature was the hot springs that lay only about a two minute walk from the castle. The only bad thing was that there were five graveyards scattered about the grounds that gave the areas they were in a slightly grim touch. Other that that everything was fine and no one could wait until the set off for the month.

-Normal Pov-
Sasuke groaned as he felt himself regain consciousness. His head was throbbing. He struggled to remember why he had fainted. Images of Kakashi and echo's of his voice filled the Uchiha's find.
Sasuke shivered and closed his eyes again. 'First Sakura, then Kakashi. What's wrong with me?' He wondered. Al least now he knew that Sakura's image had not been a hallucination. He had distinctly felt Kakashi's hand on his skin. He shivered again. Kakashi's hand had been like ice, and it had been rotting.
The ebony eyed boy opened his eyes and looked around. Several more I.V. tubes had been put into his arms. He swore. He hated I.V. tubes.
Sasuke looked out the window to gaze at the moon. It was half full waxing, covered by clouds in some places. Sasuke sighed. There would be no star gazing tonight. That was something he often did to pass the time, as he still hadn't regained full use of his arms, so he couldn't read and he didn't like to watch T.V.
Thinking of nothing else to do, Sasuke let his gaze drift over to the other person that was in the room.
Naruto was lying in the bed next to him, still in a coma. When they had first come here, the doctors had tried to separate the two boys, insisting that it would be better for both if they were separated. But Sasuke had refused to let go of Naruto. For some reason, he wanted to be there when the blonde woke up. He wanted to see those blue eyes again, those beautiful eyes that danced with laughter and happiness.
Sasuke blinked. 'What the hell am I thinking?!' He was about to mentally hit himself for thinking like that when...
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! SASUKE!!!"
Sasuke shot bolt upright and started. Naruto eyes snapped open and he too shot upright before falling back, panting heavily and gasping.
Sasuke went onto autopilot. He didn't even realize that he was getting out of bed when he wasn't supposed to use his legs. He didn't feel the I.V. tubes ripping out of his arms, or the commotion outside of doctors. All the knew was one thing: Get to Naruto.
For someone whose leg was broken and ankle sprained, Sasuke still was quick. He came to the edge of Naruto's bed and put is hands on either side of the blonde's head. Naruto looked at him.
"S-Sasuke?" he said.
Sasuke smiled. "Hai," he whispered.
Naruto sat there stunned for a second. Then, without warning, he pulled Sasuke into a tight embrace and sobbed into his shoulder. Sasuke wrapped his arms around the smaller boy's back and just held him. He heard Naruto whisper against his shoulder...
"I'm not the only one alive. Oh god, I'm not the only one. Thank you Sasuke. Thank you..."
Sasuke rested his chin on Naruto's head and said a silent prayer to whoever was listening:
Thank you for keeping Naruto alive for me.
