Chapter 2
It felt so cold. To Sasuke he felt like each step, each move he was making, it was getting colder. He knew in his heart, he was worried about his blonde conterpart, his rival. But his pride would not allow the Uchiha to express his feelings of worry, of hurt, of a guilt that knawed at his soul, saying that it was his fault for his friend getting hurt. The nurst guided him through the wards, expressionless and devoid of any emotion. Sasuke looked at a calendar on the wall, his thoughts had been confirmed....
So, I was out for at least a week....
Sasuke sighed as he started to notice that the wards were getting eerily darker. The cold, empty feeling deep inside Sasuke seemed to become larger as he continued on into the wards, passing the 16th, 17th, 18th, each ward lacking light, giving Sasuke that cold feeling, hurting the raven haired-boy one level at a time. It was as though the spirits that existed in the hospital were blaming Sasuke for Naruto being here, almost cursing him.
It seemed like forever when they had reached the 20th ward, a place with a light so dim, it was almost dark. The nurse stopped at the main desk, picking up a piece of paper as she did. She read through the sheet then placed it down onto the desk, before signing it with a pen that had been in her pocket, all of which was done in silence. She turned to Sasuke, and her once emotionless face was well covered with a warm, almost calming smile.
"It seems that others are here to see your friend," she said as she slipped the paper back into a designated slot. "Follow me please. He is in room 20." Sasuke nodded as he followed the nurse again. He looked at the room numbers, counting down all the numbers before reaching the room 20. No sooner did he reach the room, he was stunned to see that he wasn't the only person there to see Naruto.
Sakura, Kakashi and Iruka were also at the door to room 20. It would've been a pleasant surprise for Sasuke to see the three people, if it wasn't for the current emotional states they were in. Sakura was rocking in her chair backwards and forwards, her hands clamped together. Kakashi looked distraught and was crying, which was almost un-natural. The Jounin's head rested on the wall beside the door to Room 20, his tears falling to the floor like rain. Iruka, Kakashi's partner, was beside the Jounin, his head resting on his lover's shoulder, rubbing his back, whispering and soothing Kakashi the best he could.
"Shhh...Kakashi, it will all be okay, you'll see."
"How could I have let them go like that, Iruka. They were my responsibility, and looked what happened??? Now Naruto's here...instead of playing one of his pranks....And Sasuke..." This made the Jounin cry even harder, and Iruka tried his best to calm his beloved.
"Kakashi-sensei," Sasuke blurted out, the words coming out all harsh, as the sight of his broken teacher nearly broke the black-haired youth, but he had to keep his composure. He couldn't let anyone see his sadness.
"Sasuke-kun, you're alright," Sakura whispered as her eyes showed Sasuke nothing but fatigue and sorrow. Iruka walked over to Sakura and gently placed a hand on the pink-haired girl's shoulder.
"Sakura, I think it's best if you go home and get some sleep," Iruka suggested, trying to sound composed, when in truth, he was close to breaking point. Naruto was like his little brother, and seeing him in such a state was like a cold knife slicing the Chuunin's heart. Sakura just shook off the Chuunin's hand and became instantly, to Sasuke's shock, agressive. Her fists were clenched, and her face soon changed from showing sadness, to showing frustration.
"NO!!! I WON'T LEAVE!! NOT WHEN NARUTO'S STILL SUFFERING!! HOW COULD I EVER GET ANY SLEEP WHEN MY TEAM-MATE IS IN HERE OF ALL PLACES!!!!!!" Sakura had worked herself up into a state of hysteria and her face soon became a tint of red in the dim light. "NO I...won't go, not until he's back with us..." She collapsed into the chair, grief overcoming her. Iruka pulled her into his arms as Sakura weeped. Sasuke turned to the nurse, who had been watching the events unfold. He then turned to Kakashi, who had all but stopped crying.
"Is it alright if I see him, Kakashi sensei?" Sasuke asked respectively as the nurse stepped up to Sasuke's side.
"Very well, but prepare yourself..." Kakashi warned, every word sounding more like his throat had cracked. He then turned to the nurse. "Thankyou for bringing him here, Mahomaru-san." She smiled as she opened the door for Sasuke, leading the young chuunin inside. Sasuke on the other hand, had a new question wondering in his thoughts.
Mahomaru....could she possibly be one of them?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Three mysterious figures walk through the village, 2 girls and a boy, all foreigners, and each bearing marks of a demonic nature. The boy has the mark of the demon shark of the west. The youngest member of the group, a female, bears the mark of the demon tiger who is believed to reside in the East. And the eldest of the group, also a female, bears the most frightening of the demonic mark - the demon eagle of the south. As they walk through the village, the townspeople steer clear of this group, afraid of what might happen if contact was made.
"Lady, could he possibly be here?? This place...it's so not fitting, even for a demi-demon." The young demon shark groans as the demon eagle princess sighs. The demon tiger just smiles and licks her hand, like a cat cleaning itself.
"For a demon shark, you're quite picky, Nakaziu," the demon eagle says as she looks at her nails. "Just look at all the prey here. And I was the one who cursed him with the eagle's wing, I can sense him from miles away."
"Miaaaaaooowww. Miaow Miiiiuuuuu?" You seem like you know this place. How is this so? The demon tiger mewls, as the demon eagle starts giggling.
"This is the same town that rejected me when I became the demon princess, Mao-Neko," Her smile was instantly replaced with a look of spite, of hatred. "I was stripped of my Kyuubi brother..."
Nakaziu knew what exactly the demon eagle was talking about.
"You're talking about the demon king, aren't you... Lady Chitose...."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sasuke's face went white as a candle was turned on by the nurse. On a white bed, covered with marks, laid Naruto. His eyes were wide open, however instead of the crystal blue eyes Sasuke familiarised himself with, they were glazed with a blood-red colour that made the blonde almost...inhuman. And at the centre of his newly formed markings, was something that would frighten the usually composed Uchiha. On his stomach, where his seal was placed, were two crimson symbols glowing on each side of the seal. They were shaped in the form of wings, and they glowed in an eerie, almost horrific way, each flash of red piercing Sasuke's soul. The nurse walked towards Naruto and examined his seal, a sigh of worry escaping her lips.
"So, she's returned to claim what she's desired...And on the eve before the red moon too, what a time to choose..." The nurse said as she looks at the seal, worry etching her youthful face. Sasuke hesitated, but took a cautious step forward, the sight of his comrade in such a state almost causing him to break into pieces.
"She...who's 'she'? Who are you talking about?" Sasuke interrogated the nurse, who only smiled in acknowledgement.
"Uzumaki Chitose, once a Hiragi, but had changed her name after she found Naruto," The Nurse began....
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hiragi Chitose, one of the most gifted girls to have ever graced the Konohagakure. She came from the country of the Sand after being exiled, at the age of only 5. She was raised by the Hiragi clan, and she was instantly recognised by the village as one of the villagers. Her talent as a ninja was hard to ignore, and she did her new family proud. However, the Hiragi clan were wiped out when the demon fox attacked the village. Chitose was all that remained of the Hiragi empire, and she was desperately alone, as she was only around 10 at the time. It was at this point she found Naruto, and she swore that, despite him having the fox inside him, she would raise Naruto as her little brother, performing a blood ritual to change her name from Hiragi Chitose, to Uzumaki Chitose. She was with Naruto for the first 3 years of his life, then the unthinkable happened...
She was possessed by Aki-shiro, the demon eagle.... The village had ordered that she was either exiled, or executioned...
The Hokage himself took Naruto away from her, and as she watched her only reason for living stripped away from her, she swore before she disappeared, that she would take back her brother, and burn the Konohagakure to the ground....
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The nurse sighed before turning to the door. "I'll leave you to have some time with Naruto..." As she headed for the exit, Sasuke spoke, his voice clear as glass.
"About your surname...are you...." The nurse turned around, a smile gracing her face once more.
"Yes, I am from the Mahomaru clan, the clan of the spirits..." With this she opened the door and left Sasuke. As soon as the door closed, Sasuke turned to Naruto, a flashback of his fight with Itachi returning to him...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Naruto look OUT!!!! - Itachi was about to kill Naruto...
I closed my eyes, I didn't want to watch Naruto die...and...when I opened my eyes...
There was a woman....she protected him....and then turned to give him some of her Chakra...
Chitose....Uzumaki Chitose... you protected Naruto...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The Uchiha sighed as he sat down on Naruto's bed, a sigh escaping the raven boy's lips. How could such a lively boy wind up like this? Someone filled with so much love.... Slowly the tears began to flow, all the emotions and feelings that he had hidden from others around him claiming their release. He stroked Naruto's hair...
Soft...
He stroked Naruto's cheek gently with the back of his hand, despite knowing that Naruto's eyes were fully open. Sasuke smiled through his tears, as he lowered his head and cried at Naruto's hand. He buried his head into the matress and screamed, the matress suppressing the shrills of pain that came from the raven-haired boy.
"You baka, why? Why risk yourself...for me? I should be the one carrying this burden, not you...You're too innocent... The Uchiha fought hard to try and hold his tears, but to no avail. He sobbed inside Naruto's sheets, all his anger and pain poured into those screams muffled by Naruto's bed. He cried and cried, the tears never ceasing, that is, until Sasuke felt a hand rest upon his head. Sasuke looked up, only to find that the hand belonged to....
"Na...Naruto???" Sasuke was in a state of shock. Naruto was moving, he was truly alive. However the same ghostly wide-eyed look still glazed the blonde-youth's face, and his eyes were still a blood-red colour, making Sasuke question as to whether this was really Naruto or not. But when a hand placed itself on Sasuke's face, wiping his tears, all questions were silenced.
"Sasuke...is that you? Don't cry...It hurts me to see you cry..."
