Chapter 3
Chilled in Mid-Motion
Naruto hated waiting.
If the time it took for his ramen to cook annoyed him, the six hours his rival had been motionless had been excruciatingly painful. He twitched irritably and shifted in his chair again.
Sakura had left ages ago to seek medical attention for herself. She had wandered off, casting glances back at Sasuke leaning heavy and limp off of Naruto's shoulder. Blue eyes turned to the object of his thoughts, frowning slightly.
The strong boy he'd seen everyday for the past three years of Team 7's existence looked so small now, lying in a hospital bed. The slight coloring the prodigy had seemed to seep away under the sheets. The eyes usually so emotionless, but that had been too painful and lost the last time he'd seen them open, were closed now. The blonde shivered, remembering the girl and the fight, and how quickly Sasuke went down. The way violent shivers had gone over the other boy's body, the way his head snapped back before he went limp.
Deep in thought, his tanned, callused fingers found their way to a bit of stray hair hanging in front of his rival's face. Letting his skin brush with Sasuke's in contrast before he tucked the lock to the side, the blonde pondered to himself. His face, usually contorted into a fox like grin, look a more solemn and jaded look.
"You idiot." He muttered into the air. "And you call me stupid." He trailed off for a second, his fingers finally pulling away from Sasuke's skin and clutching the stiff sheets instead. In truth, he didn't really know what he was scolding the other boy for, but it made him feel better about the situation, so he kept at it. "Always acting so sure of yourself, so much better then anyone else…"
"Nice to see you think so highly of him, Naruto." The genin jumped with a start, before turning in his chair and seeing the familiar half covered face of his teacher.
"Kakashi-sensei." The man glanced at the blond in recognition, before turning a solemn gaze on Sasuke.
"How's he been?"
"Hasn't moved since we brought him here…" Naruto muttered, rotating his shoulder until he heard a satisfying crack. He stood, doing the same to the other arm before walking towards the door. "But since you're here now I can finally leave and get a meal. It was torture enough having to stare at Uchiha's face for that long, but add in hospital food and you've got one ticked off Naruto." The fox spun on his heel and walked swiftly down the hallway, trying desperately to rid his mind of the practically dead protégée.
Back in the dull room, Kakashi listened to the footsteps fade away, before he leaned over and placed his hand on his pupil's head. Closing his eyes in concentration, the Jonin reached out with his own chakra to Sasuke's mind, trying desperately to salvage the young boy.
Each mind is different. It's molded into the shape to fit a personality, judging on experiences and views. Given that this was a fairly unknown fact, many medical specialist had gotten lost inside their patient's minds, not only killing themselves, but the poor soul they'd invaded. However, it was found out that those who knew the person better, could travel inside their mind much easier.
He hadn't expected Sasuke's mind to be a maze of hallways, though.
Gritting his teeth, he plunged deep into the darkness, noting bitterly how much evil had consumed the child's mind.
"Get out." Echoed through the corridor. Kakashi turned, and did the exact opposite the voice wanted. He dashed down the tunnel like hallway, rushing past doors that varied being open or closed. "Please leave me alone." He skidded to a stop, his breath coming out in misty clouds. The temperature dropped considerably, and Kakashi rubbed his arms while jerking his head any way he could.
Finally, he saw a small figure huddled against a wall. He relaxed, a painful feeling growing in his gut as he drew closer.
Sasuke sat with his face buried into his knees, his arms wrapped around his ankles.
Reviews wanted and appreciated!
