Chapter Two
"Neji!" Itachi exclaimed. A part of him was too shocked while the other part urged him to quickly approach the boy and check if he was alright –of course he wasn't, but this one meant whether his life was on the line or not-.
Bending beside the limp figure of the pretty long dark brown haired boy, Itachi picked his wrist up and checked for his pulse like a professional acupuncture master.
Sighing with relief after he sensed the pulse, he let down the boy's wrist and looked around, looking for a sign of the ambulance. It arrived not long afterwards, and Neji was quickly taken to the hospital.
"Excuse me sir," a woman who was wearing all white asked, "Do you happen to be this boy's relative or something?" she asked as her head turned a bit to point at Neji who was being laid on the bed carefully.
"No, his relatives are abroad with mine," Itachi answered as he shook his head, "Where are you taking him?" he asked.
"To the nearest hospital," the nurse answered lightly, "Can you please tell his relatives about this?" she asked, looking at him expectantly –clearly not the type to be expecting the answer no-.
"I will," Itachi nodded with a sigh. He watched as Neji was put in the ambulance and then the ambulance went to the nearest hospital from that place.
He turned around to check on his band mates and his brother. He wasn't surprised at all at the shocked expression plastered on Sasuke's face. He knew that he was shocked because what he wrote really happened. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Sasuke had made the male main character died.
Not that Sasuke dared, either.
By that time, the crowd had dispersed, and only several people were left around the place of the accident, including the five of them. None looked pleased. They hadn't expected an accident, especially not the one where the one guilty ran away by speeding off to avoid being caught.
"Sasuke…" Itachi started softly. He heaved a sigh when Sasuke didn't reply. By the looks on his face, he was too shocked to say anything at the moment. The traumatized look on his eyes… the shocked look on his face… Itachi feared that he would be scarred for life by this accident.
"Sasuke-kun…" Kabuto called softly as he patted Sasuke's shoulder. "It's okay, he's going to be okay," he added reassuringly. He took medics when he entered college, and he is very knowledgeable.
Itachi shook his head and sighed once again. He urged the younger Uchiha to walk back to their car while motioning for the others to follow. The others complied without saying anything, knowing that seeing someone having an accident wasn't fun, and it was worse if you knew that someone.
On their trip home, they all kept silent. None dared to speak even one word. Itachi drove the car silently, as the others felt awkward, not knowing what to say.
When they had arrived at the Uchiha residence, Sasuke rushed upstairs and to his room while the other four stayed downstairs.
"What are you all going to do now?" Itachi asked the other three.
"I'll be going home, I guess," Kakashi mumbled, "Ja ne," he added as he waved a bit at Itachi before he walked out of the house, followed by Kabuto who had muttered a small 'ja' as well.
"Well?" Itachi asked, turning to face Naruto who kept standing beside him. Apparently, he had made no move to leave the Uchiha residence anytime soon.
"Ah…" Naruto mumbled. For once, he looked thoughtful. He tapped his chin with his index finger while his thumb rubbed over his chin in a thoughtful pose.
"You liked my brother don't you?" Itachi asked suddenly. "Then… maybe you can do something for him," he added.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Itachi-sama, what happened to Sasuke-sama?" Iruka asked anxiously as he sat down across of Itachi who was sipping his cup of coffee, leaning back on the wooden chair.
"It's alright," Itachi replied lightly as he took another sip of his coffee.
"That's not an answer!" Iruka protested. "What happened to him?" he asked again.
"Nothing really, he'll be over it by tomorrow," Itachi shrugged, "Just expect him to go to the hospital tomorrow morning carrying a bouquet of flowers," he added. Putting his cup down, he stood up from his chair in the kitchen, and walked back to his own room. Maybe trusting Naruto wasn't the best idea, but it was the best for the time being.
He stared at the phone he had installed in his room –Sasuke had protested about it because he couldn't use the phone freely that way- and debated with himself whether to call Neji's parents right now, or when he had gotten better.
Of course, telling them right away would be the best, but it would make them anxious and such. If he told them when he'd recovered –even a bit-, they'd be at least relieved…
The latter then.
He sighed and plopped himself on his bed. He knew that Neji is important to Sasuke, but he didn't expect him to have a mental breakdown or something.
Maybe he'll recover a bit when Neji recovered… or maybe it'd be faster than he expect.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Morning, Aniki," Sasuke greeted his older brother as he went downstairs from his bedroom. It was the morning after. His mood seemed to lighten up a lot. His eyes didn't look that blank anymore. He sat down on his chair and waited as Itachi put down some plates of food in front of him.
"Morning," Itachi greeted back. "How's your sleep?" he asked as he himself sat down on one of the chairs and took a bowl of rice along with a pair of chopsticks. He clasped his hand together and muttered something that sounded like 'itadakimasu'.
"Fine enough," Sasuke replied with a smile. He hadn't known any of his brother's band mates for long, but he had taken a liking to one of them already, especially after yesterday's incident.
-.-.-.-. flashback -.-.-.-.-.
A boy with shoulder-length raven black hair was standing on his knee in front of his desk, one arm bent on the desk while his head rest on said arm. Soft sobbing could be heard, and on the monitor of the computer, could be seen an empty Recycle Bin icon. Obviously, he had just deleted something permanently from the Recycle Bin.
The door creaked open slowly, and a boy –older by three years or so- stepped into the room silently. The boy sighed, and walked over to the other boy.
"Sasuke-kun," the boy who had just entered called softly, tapping the first boy's shoulder softly with his right hand. "I know I don't know what kind of relation you share with that boy, but," he stopped for a while, "If I could help, I'll help,"
They sat in silence for a while, none daring to speak even a word. The only audible sound was the sound of the rustling leaves, blowing breeze, and the soft sobbing of a boy.
"I- I was- it was my fault," Sasuke finally said, startling the blond boy quite a bit, but he didn't show it. "I- I wrote something about him having an accident, and- and it happened," he finished softly.
His tears had been wiped up by himself –he had wiped them with his sleeve earlier- but his eyes were all red and swollen because of the cry. His nose had turned into a rosy color, and his face became paler –if possible-.
"It wasn't your fault," Naruto said as he raised his hand and placed it on Sasuke's left shoulder. "It isn't," he added so softly it was barely audible but Sasuke managed to hear that.
"It is!" Sasuke insisted. "You don't know how it feels so you can speak like that!" he added angrily, tears started welling up at the corner of his eyes again.
"I know," Naruto sighed, "I know how it feels, I've been through it once, and even worse," he finished, his baby blue eyes showed sadness and sorrow.
"Eh?" at this, Sasuke couldn't say anything.
"I was playing with my father. We were supposed to play something like a war, and I hoped that he'd die in the game so I could win…" Naruto muttered, tears started welling up in his eyes as well as he fought the urge to just stop. He didn't like it whenever he had to recall those memories of his.
Sasuke listened with interest. He wasn't an empath, but he could feel his feelings as well.
"I wrote my wish on a piece of paper, and- and the next day… my father died," Naruto choked a bit, trying to fight back his tears, "Many people said that it wasn't my fault, that I was only kidding and such… but it hurt, to know that we're the one that caused it," he finished.
"I'm… I'm sorry," Sasuke muttered.
"Don't be," Naruto shook his head, putting up a forced smile on his face, "We're in the same shoes for the time being, so don't be sorry," he added.
"Uzumaki-san…" Sasuke murmured. Itachi had introduced the three of them to him earlier today. Hatake Kakashi, Yakushi Kabuto, and Uzumaki Naruto.
"Naruto," Naruto said, "Just Naruto is fine," he finished. He heaved a sigh and slowly, encircled his arms around the smaller boy's body and brought him close. Surprisingly enough for him, the smaller boy didn't fight back. Maybe he was too tired to do that.
"Sorry, and thank you," Sasuke murmured as he himself encircled his arms around the older boy's body. It felt like he was being embraced by his brother. He was reminded of the days when Itachi would always hug him and cradle him whenever he cried –when he was still a child, of course-.
"You're welcome," Naruto grinned at the younger boy toothily, feeling a sudden surge of happiness coursing in his body when he heard the light tone the younger boy had used, indicating that he was slightly better, at least.
-.-.-.-.-. end of flashback -.-.-.-.-.
"Ah, it's good to see you like this," Itachi said with a smile.
"A- ah…" Sasuke blushed, "Ah stupid aniki!" he cursed as he ate his breakfast rather greedily.
They had finished breakfast, and were going together. One to school, one to his college.
"I'll take it that you're going to the hospital this afternoon?" Itachi asked as he looked down, looking at his little brother. "I'll be home then, Iruka-san said that he had to go for a while," he added after Sasuke nodded as an answer.
Itachi dropped Sasuke off at his school –they were going by Itachi's car- before he himself went to his college –of course after saying goodbye and such-.
"Morning, Sasuke-kun," Haku greeted as Sasuke walked into the main building of their school. Sasuke merely waved back at him as he continued to walk towards the main building.
"Have you heard it? Hyuuga-senpai got an accident," Haku said as they walked down the corridor.
The corridor was filled by students who were gossiping about the captain of the main team's accident and how the team wouldn't make it to the tournament without him.
"I know," Sasuke nodded his head. His mood had lighten up considerably since the time he saw Neji lying on the ground bleeding, but he wasn't in a good enough mood to continually discuss about the matter. He didn't show it though.
"I wonder if the team would go on with the tournament," Haku added as he stared at the group of boys standing in front of their classes. There were four of them. One is a boy who has a dog with him –why the staffs let him bring his dog to school is still unknown-, one is a boy with round body, one is a boy with spiky black hair and wide-collared jacket, and the last one is a boy with funny face paint –and why he isn't suspended is still unknown as well-.
The four of them –along with Neji- formed the main team. They were known for their abilities in basket, and for their hard work. They trained regularly, and they had won nine out of ten championships.
"What should we do? Neji-san is bedridden until the preliminary matches are finished," Kiba said worriedly. "I've never thought he'd get an accident, he seemed careful enough," he added with a frown.
"I know that," Shino grunted. "It wasn't his fault, it was the driver's," he added, and at this, Sasuke's stomach knotted a bit. The driver's fault, or his fault? Whichever is the true one, they're both guilty.
"Anyway, we can't enter the tournament like this, so we…" Kiba mumbled. "Do you think- I mean, Neji-senpai asked us to- ah well, it's not that perfect of an idea, but-"
"Say something straightly, or has your way of speaking swung that way as well?" Chouji asked teasingly as he munched on his snack, having nothing better to do since classes wouldn't start until thirty more minutes.
"Hey dammit! I have a girlfriend out there!" Kiba shouted, defending himself. It wasn't a lie, though, he does have a girlfriend from another school –yeah, what can you expect from an all-boys school?-.
The girl is shy and not aggressive –unlike all those lunatic fangirls waiting outside their school gate wanting to ravish every single pretty boys-, quiet and yet charming. She has short violet hair and small lean body.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Chouji replied lightly, waving his hand dismissively before he continued eating his snacks that he had brought from his home earlier this morning.
"About what Neji-senpai told us to do," Shino stated, "We'll have to ask for confirmation from him, before from the said person," he explained. "I guess tomorrow will be good enough for us to visit him, all of us don't have any extracurricular activities tomorrow," he reasoned.
"It's decided then," Kiba grinned.
"We'll be going to the hospital tomorrow, and wait for his answer before we start our training," Shino nodded his head.
"Alright," the other two merely agreed before they parted way. One to the class at the left, one at the right, one in the middle and one across of the middle one.
"I wonder what they are talking about," Haku mumbled.
"Your eavesdropping skill is incredible, Haku, have anyone told you that?" Sasuke asked almost sarcastically, though there's humor in it.
"Nope, you're the first one, thank you for the compliment," Haku shook his head.
They were leaning onto a pillar, one standing with his back pressed against the pillar, ears all ready to listen to whatever they were discussing while the other one squatted with his side pressed against the pillar, ears all ready to listen to whatever they were discussing as well.
"I guess they're going to recruit a substitute for Neji," Sasuke shrugged.
"For…?" Haku asked, not really believing what he had heard.
"For Hyuuga. Did I just say Neji?" Sasuke blinked his eyes several times, trying to look innocent –and was failing miserably since he looked far from innocent-.
"Whatever, let's just get to class," Haku asked and they were seen walking side by side down the corridor to the locker area to take their books, before they walked towards their classroom –since they are in the same class-.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Sasuke-kun!" a boy with bobbed hair called out as he made his way to Sasuke, who was sitting all alone in his seat by the window. It was his favorite spot after all.
"Ah, yes, Lee-kun?" Sasuke asked at the approaching boy. Lee is a member of the side team, meaning, he's a member Sasuke has to take care of.
"I- I heard that Hyuuga-senpai got an accident," Lee stuttered a bit, knowing that Sasuke didn't feel comfortable whenever people talk about it right to his face. "I'm sorry," he added.
"You don't need to be," Sasuke shook his head, "Ah, by the way, Lee-kun, how has your training gone?" he asked as he smiled a bit at the boy. He knew the boy is a hardworking person, and he was proud to have him in the side team, though he really thought that with that ability he had, he should've joined the main team instead.
"It's fine," Lee answered with a toothy grin as he gave Sasuke a thumb up. "I've perfected my lay up and jump shoot," he explained eagerly, feeling happy whenever he could talk about his progress with the captain of his team.
The reason why he had joined the side team is because he wanted to be acknowledged. He wanted to be able to tell the captain what have he achieved these past weeks and such. If he joined the main team, he wouldn't be able to, but he knew he would be able to if Sasuke's the captain.
"That's good to hear," Sasuke exclaimed as he smiled at the boy yet again, "Maybe soon enough we could join a tournament," he added with a laugh.
Lee merely grinned. He liked to do discussions with Sasuke. It was fun.
"Ara, Lee-kun, what happened to your hand?" Sasuke asked suddenly, abruptly changing the topic of their conversation in a matter of seconds, "It's bruised," he added as he pointed at a spot on his arm, near his wrist.
"Oh, it's nothing for you to be concerned about," Lee said quickly, hiding his right hand behind his back, "It's a bruise I got when I did a dunk carelessly," he explained.
"You shouldn't be careless," Sasuke stated flatly, "A simple bruise could be a greater threat later on, here, let me see your hand," he insisted as he reached out his hand to take Lee's hand in his and examine the bruise.
"No, really, it'll heal soon," Lee said hastily as he backed out of Sasuke's reach.
"Are you hiding something from me, Lee-kun?" Sasuke asked in a dangerously sweet tone, "If not, surely you won't mind letting me see your bruised hand, will you?" he asked, still in a dangerously sweet tone.
"F- fine, have your way," Lee huffed as he let Sasuke examine his right hand. He was always manipulative towards the side team's members –though it was his way to show his care-.
He had heard rumors about students wanting to join the side team only to be cared for by Sasuke –the prettiest student in school- and he even heard that the main team members were slowly turning to join the side team –of course, not the main team in the main team, they are loyal to Neji-.
"It's a simple bruise, but I suggest you take care of it soon," Sasuke said as he let go of Lee's hand, "Do I need to accompany you to the infirmary?" he asked as he tilted his hand to the side a bit.
"No, I'm perfectly fine with myself!" Lee shouted rather hastily and Sasuke raised an eyebrow at his sudden outburst, "I can go by myself," he added, grinning toothily at his captain.
"I'll take it as a yes, so let's go," Sasuke smiled sweetly and Lee froze.
Soon, screams were heard as Lee was dragged down the corridor to the infirmary by the one and only Uchiha Sasuke.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Excuse me, Gekkou-san?" Sasuke called out as he opened the infirmary door slightly and took a peek inside. He looked around to find any visible trace of said man, but none was found.
"He's out to buy a cough medicine," a voice answered from his behind and Sasuke sighed. No wonder.
"What are you doing here, Yakushi-san?" he asked after he took a good look on the person answering his call earlier. "Don't you have something to do?" he asked again as he eyed the blue haired boy suspiciously.
"The medics student got home earlier today," Kabuto shrugged, "I was asked to take over for a while until Gekkou-san come back," he answered matter-of-factly.
"Oh, alright then," Sasuke nodded his head absently, "Can you please take a look on his wrist? He injured it during a practice session," he explained as his head motioned towards Lee.
Kabuto turned to look at the boy who was trembling slightly, but not from fear. It looked more like excitement or joy rather than fear. No. The soon-to-be grin twitch on his lips told it all.
"Are you a friend of Sasuke-kun?" Kabuto asked as he eyed the boy in green suit.
"Yes!" before Kabuto had the chance to let the inside, Lee was already answering energetically. "And I'm your fan! I'm a fan of the Four Gods but I like you the most!" he added, not believing that he was able to see his favorite personnel this close. He was slightly envious that Sasuke was surrounded by the four of them, but what can you expect from the little brother of the vocalist of the said group?
Pardon the excess use of the word the in the last paragraph. And in this one as well.
"I- I see, can we go inside first?" Kabuto asked, a bit panicked as students who were passing by started to stop and look at him. If this kept up, he wouldn't be able to exit the infirmary later.
"Okay!" Lee grinned as he opened the door to the infirmary and stepped in, followed by Sasuke and Kabuto.
Once inside, Kabuto let Lee took a seat on the chair before he took a look at the bruised arm. It was nothing serious, but if not given a treatment soon, it'd turn out worse.
"Here, this should be good enough," he said as he handed him a little bottle of ointment. "Apply this on the bruise and it'll fade in about two to three days," he explained.
"Thank you," Lee said as he took the ointment and stored it inside of his trousers' pocket. He looked at Sasuke and bowed his head in appreciation, "Thank you too, Sasuke-kun," he said.
"Nah, it's my responsibility," Sasuke waved his hand dismissively.
"Thank you, really, and that's why the side team members don't quit," he added with a grin before he dashed outside, probably to the cafeteria to have lunch since it was lunch break.
"You're the captain of a side team?" Kabuto asked. Most teams –including cheer leaders- have both main team and side team in that school.
"Yes, basket's side team," Sasuke nodded his head.
"That's great," Kabuto stated, "It's not like anyone can be a captain," he added as he smiled at the younger boy.
"Thanks," Sasuke smiled slightly at this. He wasn't unsatisfied by the fact that he's only a captain of the side team, but he was unsatisfied by the fact that the main team looked down on the side team.
"Now go, surely you won't want to miss lunch, no?" Kabuto asked as he ushered Sasuke out of the infirmary, right when Hayate had just come back from his short trip to buy the cough medicine for the students, and for himself.
"Afternoon, Gekkou-san," Sasuke greeted as he quickly sprinted down the hall and to the cafeteria, following Lee who had left earlier while Kabuto and Hayate merely stared.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
The clock ticked oh-so-slowly as Sasuke glared at the damned clock. It was five more minutes until the school ended, yet even the time had decided to pull tricks on him as well. He could swear that the longest arm that indicated seconds didn't move from its spot at all.
He let out an almost inaudible sigh as he tried to concentrate on the lessons instead of the clock hanging innocently on the wall, but it was to no avail.
His mind was highly distracted at the moment. He was dying to go to the hospital to check on Neji, whether he had recovered or not, and the time surely didn't help.
He stared at the blackboard in front of the class and decided to take notes of what was written. Looked like his teacher had explained something he missed.
"Sasuke?" a voice called from beside him and he nearly screamed. He mentally scolded himself at that. Was he that distracted to the point where he could no longer hear someone call him?
"Yes, Haku?" he asked as he slowly turned to look at his friend.
"Something wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing, nothing's wrong," he answered as he waved his hand slightly, "I was just waiting for the bell to ring," at least he wasn't lying about that.
"Okay," Haku nodded his head and went back to taking notes.
"Eh, Haku," Sasuke called out again, "Can you lend me your notes?"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
The bell finally rang, and the students were filing the corridor. Haku quickly gave his notes to Sasuke –as he had promised earlier- and went out of the classroom rather hastily after muttering a low 'see you tomorrow'.
Sasuke stared at him as if he had just grown a third head or something, but decided that maybe Zabuza had told him to go home earlier than usual that day. It wasn't strange at all… right?
Well, okay, it is strange since Zabuza had never gotten home earlier than four o'clock in the afternoon, and it wasn't even half past three. He decided to shrug it off –it wasn't his business, really- and proceeded to putting Haku's notebook away in his bag before he slung it over his shoulder.
He went out of the classroom, and was soon walking down the hallway to the locker area. There was no training that day, he had informed the members of the side team several days before, so he didn't have to stay at school. There was no reason to, anyway.
Usually, he'd stay at school whenever there is training, or whenever the main team had training. He liked to watch them practice, the way they played… it was professional.
He walked out of the building, and into the main gate, where he met a man with silver hair waiting for him. He stopped dead in his track, and called out for the older boy. "Hatake-san,"
"Konnichi wa, Sasuke-kun," the man replied as his eyes arc up as a smile made its way to his face –though it was concealed by his face mask and all-.
"What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked as he stared at the older boy. He knew that there wasn't any practice that day due to Iruka's absence, but why was he here?
"Itachi asked me to," Kakashi answered simply, "He asked me to take good care of his dear little brother," he added as his smile slowly turned into a smirk –though it was concealed by his face mask, again-.
"Thank you," Sasuke nodded his head. "But-"
"You need not say it," Kakashi stopped him, "I know that you wanted to go to the hospital, right?" he asked, his eyes still closed as he smiled at the younger boy.
"Yes," Sasuke nodded his head.
"Very well, I will take you there," Kakashi said and they were off to the hospital, making a pit stop at the flower shop to buy some daisies for Neji.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Excuse me, there's someone wanting to see you," a nurse walked into the ward Neji currently stayed in, clipboard in her hand as she announced the arrival of the aforementioned guest.
"Let them in," Neji replied lightly. He had been having a lot of visitors since morning, and he had wondered whether there was actually school that day.
"You are allowed to come in," the nurse said to the person behind the door before she went out, and let the person come in.
"Sasuke," Neji nodded his head towards the other boy in acknowledgement as he watched the younger boy put the daisies in the vase beside his bed.
"Neji-nii-san," Sasuke replied as he put the flowers in the vase and sat on the stool beside Neji's bed, "How are you?" he asked, eyeing him from his hair to toe –the lower part was covered with the blanket, but still- and back to his face once again.
"Fine enough, thanks," Neji replied as a smile graced his feature.
"I'm sorry," Sasuke muttered lowly. Though he was convinced that it wasn't entirely his fault, he still thought that it was his fault at times, and he usually ended up on a guilt trip later.
"What for? Not being able to come earlier?" Neji asked as he laughed lightly, "Thanks for coming, Sasuke," he added.
"You're welcome," Sasuke smiled back.
"Where's Itachi-san?" he asked as he looked around, but seemed to not find the older boy.
"He's at home, I come here with his band mate," Sasuke explained, "He's downstairs right now," he finished.
"I see, please say my thanks to him," Neji said with a smile though he was rather disappointed that Itachi wasn't there.
"Him? Who him? My brother or his band mate?" Sasuke asked jokingly as he laughed lightly. It was so much fun tricking the older boy.
"Both," Neji replied rather sarcastically, but soon broke into a smile. Ever since they were little, they were like a family. Itachi would always take care of them, while he would always take care of Sasuke. He didn't know since when did it start, it just ended up that way.
"Get well soon, Neji-nii-san," Sasuke said as he stood up from the stool.
"Thank you," he said as he straightened up, and kissed Sasuke on the forehead.
Too bad they didn't hear the sounds of approaching footsteps, and of the door swung open. The only sound they heard, was the sound of a bouquet of flower being dropped down onto the floor.
The both of them turned around to see a figure standing on the doorway, shock visible on his face as his eyes widened at the sight.
"Haku?"
End of Chapter Two
Hope you enjoy! Now, for the Q&A section…
Q: Is Iruka in love with Kakashi?
A: Why, I wasn't about to put it up before but since it's asked by one of the reviewer, I'll asnwer it. Yes, Iruka is in love with Kakashi, so he became a bit hyperactive whenever Kakashi came over for band practice.
Q: So Neji is actually Sasuke's childhood friend?
A: Yeah, that explains the use of nii-san there.

Q: What did Sasuke do in his room before Naruto come?
A: He deleted the document
Q: Which personnel does Sasuke like the best?

Q: Why did Itachi have the phone installed in his room?
A: Because he had to make appointments with many people, and he was too lazy to walk to the living room to pick the phone up
Q: How does Naruto's father died?
