Ch.2 Another day in the Loony Bin
A few hours passed and Sasuke woke up. He really wanted to rub his eyes but he wasn't able to. He let out a sigh, and his tummy grumbled.
He sure hoped that the nurses would let him eat.
It was hours before they came..
Sasuke was frowning a little at them. One of the nurses helped him up.
"Can you please take this off?" he asked the other nurse that was there. There was no way that he was going to be fed by someone else when the reached the mess hall.
"...I can't." she answered as they walked.
Sasuke frowned as they lead him down the hall, the sounds of people talking reaching Sasuke's ears.
When they reached there, some of the talking stopped. There were some people that were staring openly at him, while others were shaking their heads at him in disappointment. They started talking to each other again. Sasuke felt his stomach burn with embarrassment, lowering his eyes to the table then the nurse sat beside him.
The sitting nurse looked to the other.
"Hey...how bout you get his plate for him..." she said politely to the nurse.
She nodded and went off to get it
Sasuke continued to looked at the table intently, it was better than looking at the people staring at him. The nurse looked somewhat concerned.
"Are you okay Sasuke?" she asked. Sasuke didn't answer her.
The other nurse came back and set the food down. "...I hope you like chicken soup." said the nurse a little nervously. "...I...can get you something else..."
Sasuke looked at the food pointedly, his stomach growling. He didn't care; he could eat just about anything now. And why did the nurses care anyways? What he really wanted was to get out of this place...but it wasn't possible. He saw other people try before, and it never went well when they did.
Besides...he liked in better in the padded cell than in Isolation.
"..." he looked up at the woman, silently asking her 'well, aren't you going to feed me?' with his eyes.
She sat and sighed before getting a spoon and got some of the noodles and bits of chicken in it and waited for Sasuke to open his mouth.
Sasuke obediently opened his mouth taking the food in. It didn't taste that bad. But he still didn't like it. He didn't like the fact that he had to be fed like baby in front of all the people. Some actually started laughing. Sasuke took another bite as the nurse continued to feed him.
The nurse felt a tinge of guilt for him.
After he was done he looked at the empty bowl, silent.
"I feel dirty..." he muttered.
She sighed. "Don't..." she said softly.
Sasuke was silent.
"I want to shower..." he said, looking up at her with his dark brown eyes.
"u-um..." she paused and looked at the other nurse.
"I guess that we have to wash him, ne?" she asked the nurse.
Sasuke was silent.
The nurse sighed and helped Sasuke up. "Can't we just...remove the coat and have him wash himself? I think he's suffered enough embarrassment from me feeding him." she muttered to the other nurse.
The nurse seemed to be thinking over this.
"We could..." she said sounding a little unsure.
"Well..." she said standing to her feet.
"Well come on Sasuke..." she said. Sasuke wordlessly stood and he stood at her side. She and the other nurse ushered him to the showers.
She started to take off the straightjacket, and Sasuke groaned a little, trying to stretch, his muscles stiff from disuse. She removed all of it and she took him to the bathroom area. It was empty, since everyone else had already showered earlier. "You have fifteen minutes..." she said to him, handing him a bar of soap and a rag.
He took them and she turned around, trying to give him some privacy, taking his clothes when he handed them to her. She looked to the other nurse.
"Look after him while I go get some clean clothes for him." She said. Sasuke turned on the water and cringed when cold spray started to hit him. Well, it was better than nothing. He shivered as he washed himself.
She did. But made sure to keep her eyes off him. "...Sasuke I'm so sorry." She said, her green eyes were soft. She began fiddling with her pink hair.
Sasuke was silent as he tried washing his hair.
"What are you sorry for? You didn't have me put in here..." he said quietly, not really in the mood to talk.
"...just tell them...why you did it...and they'd let you go." she answered. "If you did...they'd punish you...but not treat you like a maniac..." she said her green eyes soft.
Sasuke frowned at her, shutting off the water, teeth chattering.
"I don't even remember doing it...or why..." he said, wrapping his arms around himself, shivering. He looked at her back, before lowering his eyes.
"Why do you care anyways...I need a towel..." he muttered.
Sakura got was hugging a towel in her arms. She looked up at Sasuke before handing it to him. "Why...why wouldn't I care? We're...friends...aren't we?" she asked and she looked up to Sasuke with light green eyes.
Sasuke wrapped the towel around his waist after drying himself as good as he could. He looked up at her.
"Sakura..." he started before the other nurse came in, holding fresh clothes. Sasuke went silent. The nurse walked over to him.
"Here you go..." she said, handing them to him.
Sakura looked down at her feet before looking over at the other nurse. She looked back to Sasuke. "Um...We'll wait outside till your finished dressing?" she asked suggestively looking at the other nurse.
The nurse nodded her head to Sasuke and Sakura.
"Hai..." she said. When they walked out of the room, Sasuke sighed, letting the towel drop to the floor. He pulled on the black cotton pants and the white socks, and he pulled the white t-shirt that had the asylums emblem on them. He walked over to them, silent. The nurse looked to Sakura.
"Well have to put him back in the room...don't we? With the jacket?" she asked.
Sakura looked at her before glancing at Sasuke. "He...won't do anything without the jacket. Sasuke...wouldn't do that to himself..." she said softly. "Let's just try it."
The nurse sighed.
"Okay..." she said softly, still sounding a little unsure.
"We'll have to inform the doctor of Sasuke's good behavior...maybe he'll arrange to put him into a regular room..." she said to her. Sasuke narrowed his eyes a little. Normal? There was nothing normal about this place. He crossed his arms over his chest.
Sakura looked at Sasuke before she looked at her feet a sad look over taking her face and her eyes. "Alright." she said and grabbed the jacket that Sasuke was to wear and held it before she looked at Sasuke.
"...Come on Sasuke..." she said meaning for Sasuke to walk in front of her and she followed while he followed the other nurse.
Sasuke shoved his hands into his pockets, resisting the urge to glare at the nurses back. He did anyways. She led him to the room he was previously in and stopped sighing. Sasuke stopped.
"Well..." she started. Sasuke didn't move, he was staring at the room.
Sakura was behind Sasuke she reached over and touched his shoulder softly. "Onegai, Sasuke-kun. Please...just go..."
Sasuke flinched, moving away from her, looking at her with a glare.
"Don't touch me." he stated. The nurse opened the door.
"Just get in there Sasuke...for you sake..." she said. Sasuke gritted his teeth in anger.
Sakura watched Sasuke before lowering her hand. Her eyes were wet now. She couldn't stand seeing him like this. In this place.
She lowered her head and she clutched the jacket tighter.
The nurse frowned at him.
"Don't make me restrain you..." she warned softly. Sasuke looked at her with a glare still, his shoulders tensing. The nurse stiffened a little looking to Sakura.
"Haruno..." she said raising her voice a little.
Sakura looked at Sasuke. "Sasuke-kun...Onegai...onegai...just listen...onegai." she said softly.
"They'll make us put that jacket back on you...onegai...just get into the room." she whispered her green eyes pleading him too just listen.
Sasuke slowly turned to look at her, his Sharingan flashing in his eyes, before vanishing. He continued to look at her, before he slowly looked away, and walked into the room silently. The nurse sighed, shutting the door after him.
"Goodness...I thought that we were going to have to restrain him!" she said with a small nervous laugh, rubbing the back of her head.
Sakura looked at the ground before the nurse. "It's...It's not funny! This isn't a place for helping. It only makes people worse! Do you honestly think people will be cured by being strapped up, put in a dark room and forced to take pills everyday?" she snapped tears swelling up in her eyes before she turned and hurried off.
The nurse followed after her.
"Haruno-san!" she said, placing a hand on her shoulder when she caught up to her.
"This facility does work, people do get better..." she said to her.
"If this job is too much for you...' she started softly.
"I...I just can't stand to see him this way. I took this job, because i wanted to help him..." she said her eyes watering. "..." she shook her head as tears fell. "He's...just so cold...now...more than before..."
The nurse sighed a little. She didn't really know Sasuke like Sakura did.
"Well...The only thing that we can do is hope that he'll change for the better...and talk to the doctors..." she said.
"Tomorrow...he's going to have a session with one of our Psychiatrists...I unfortunately won't be here on that day..." she said to her.
Sakura looked at the nurse before nodding her head. "I understand." she said before sighing. "Thank you..." she said before she started off.
The nurse nodded her head and she went the other direction, going to tend to some other patients.
It was quiet down the hall.
