Sasuke Has a Fever!

I don't own Naruto.

Oh yeah, my username used to be Sacred Star, but I changed it to Chise of Wind... just so you know... so yeah... just read!

Chappy Two

Naruto and Sakura slaved away all day on the farm. Well… not ALL day. There was just enough time for Sakura to find Sasuke and make sure he was alright. Naruto didn't want to spend the evening alone, so he decided to come with Sakura, even though it was almost fact that he'd only annoy Sasuke instead of making him actually feel better. But it didn't matter. Who cares about Sasuke anyway?

Luckily, the farm wasn't too far away from the village. It was far, but not TOO far. See, there's a significant difference between "far away" and "too far away". Naruto and Sakura still had to walk a great distance, but at least it wasn't TOO much of a great distance.

Naruto, as usual, was being very annoying to Sakura on the way back to the not too far away village of Konoha. Ignoring him was made impossible because it seemed like his mouth never closed. Not even for the shortest second would he shut up. What made it worse was the things he talked about were the most incongruous, ignorant things Sakura ever heard in her life.

Sakura almost cried out in glee when they entered the village because she thought she could finally leave Naruto… Wrong. He was only going to follow her to Sasuke apartment to get on Sasuke's nerves, which he really knew just how to do. She was just about to sprint off into the far distance when…

"Hey, Sakura-chan?"

A rain cloud of grief and despair.

"What is it, Naruto?"

"Are you going to Sasuke's apartment now?"

"Duh…"

"Well… I'm going too!"

"You're wha…?"

She hadn't the time to protest because Naruto already took off to Sasuke's apartment. He'd better not do anything wrong to him!

"Don't mess anything up…" She knew he would

Fairly more than 10 minutes later, Sakura arrived at Sasuke's apartment. She figured Kakashi had already put Sasuke to bed because all of the lights were off. Seconds later, it occurred to her that Naruto wasn't anywhere around either. He did know where Sasuke lived… Right? Of course he did! If he didn't, then he wouldn't be able to come over Sasuke's apartment so much just to get on his nerves. Sakura didn't want to put her hurry in vain, so she forgot about Naruto and carefully knocked on the door in case Sasuke was in there asleep. After two minutes went by of her knocking, the door finally creaked open and a (pathetically trying to sound) low voice came from the darkness.

"Who dares knock on my door?"

"Uh! Um…!"

"For this you shall pay… WITH YOUR LIFE." The figure in the darkness gestured a death threat with a kunai before jumping out in front of Sakura. It was only Naruto and his dumb jokes again. As you can most likely bet, Sakura was not the least bit pleased with this information.

"NARUTO! DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT MORON!" She practically knocked him into 1000 years following the weekend after October 22nd of the year 2009. (And trust me, from experience, that stuff can H.U.R.T.!)

Coming from the darkness of the apartment, a soft moan of a familiar voice came to Sakura's ear. Obviously, Sasuke was sleeping in there and her yelling was disturbing him. Oops!

"Naruto!" She started in more a whisper. "You made me disturb him!"

"No I didn't! It's not my fault that you started yelling at me, Sakura-chan!"

Sakura was not in the mood to play around with Naruto, especially since he almost got her to wake Sasuke up. If that should happen, he'd never forgive her for the rest of their days alive on the planet. She simply pushed past the babbling Naruto and turned a lamp on in the apartment. There, she saw Sasuke asleep on his couch. She quickly turned around to shut the door in Naruto's face, but as usual, Naruto was quicker and managed to get inside. Sakura just didn't want Naruto disturbing Sasuke while he was sick.

"Why isn't he in bed?" Sakura asked herself, trying to forget that Naruto was even an existing organism in universe. She wanted to take Sasuke into his bedroom, but knowing him, if you so much as breathe on him, he'll wake up.

"What if that's where Sensei wants him?" Naruto asked with a little innocence in his voice.

"…" She began to think, still forgetting the existence of Uzumaki Naruto. "If this is the way he'll be treated then I have no choice but to take care of him myself!"

"S-Sakura… chan?" Naruto was beginning to become a little confused. But then again… Naruto usually always became a little confused. It was apart of the norm with Naruto now. Someone says something and he doesn't understand a word of it like someone was speaking a foreign language to him. That was just Naruto's incomprehensible self.

Now acknowledging that an Uzumaki Naruto in fact, does exist, Sakura looked at him with a sense of urgency. "Naruto, we seriously have to help Sasuke-kun! Whoever put him here on this couch has no nursing skills whatsoever and we can't stand for it!

By now, Sasuke had long ago waken up from familiar voices in a place where they were supposed to be unfamiliar (if you know what I mean). He was just a little amused at seeing Sakura look so serious as if it was a serious situation (which it was not!). Although he did wonder who exactly put him there on that sofa instead of letting him enjoy the comfort and luxury of his own bed. He had the most uncomfortable sofa in the world! He'd reserved it from his old house, when he was still with his clan. It was lumpy, a little torn, and baggy all from age and the days when he used to jump up and down on it when he was little or when he and Itachi would horse play around the house in those far, far memories…

Aw, but who cares about that now anyway? Sasuke sat still on the couch waiting for Naruto or Sakura to realize his consciousness. His dizziness from the fever hit him like Mike Tyson only in a matter of seconds from regaining consciousness. He rested his head on the arm of the sofa to keep from just passing out again. He closed his eyes tightly and began to take deep, steady breaths.

Sakura still ranted to Naruto about the poor care Sasuke was receiving. She soon suspected Kakashi of this "ever so wrongful" act, but then the two (three, if you count Sasuke there on the couch) heard the voice of the real culprit…

"Hey! It isn't my fault Tsunade made us do this stupid mission."

"Na-" Naruto started.

"ni…" Sakura finished.

Out of the dark halls, into the lamp-illuminated room stood a slightly angered Inuzuka Kiba.

WHOOHOO! Sucky chappy, but #3 will be a lot better! Oooh! Why did Kiba come to the rescue of our sickly Uchiha friend! I'll have the next chappy (oh boy, I just luv that word! I could say it all day! Chappy, chappy, chappy!) up by either later today or tomorrow. R&R 4me!
