After a couple minutes of silence, Naruto and Kakashi went downstairs to leave Sasuke and Sakura alone.
Sakura sat in front of Sasuke, who's head was still hidden behind his hands and hair. "Sasuke-kun…" Sakura began carefully. Sasuke slowly lifted his head a little to eye her. "Who burned your back?" Sakura asked. Sasuke didn't say anything, but Sakura stayed patient for an answer. "It…was an accident .. I ..uh…" Sasuke whispered. Sakura leaned closer to Sasuke and pulled his hands out of his hair to hold them in her own hands. She was shocked to see Sasuke's face. It was paler than usual and his eyes were a little red. (not from the sharingan) Also his sad expression was heartbreaking for Sakura. He looked so weak and broken…
Sakura didn't care about Sasuke's reactions as she took him in her arms and hugged him. "Go on, what happened?" Sakura said. Sasuke first was a little shocked by Sakura's sudden movements, but later he relaxed. "I… I thought.. Itachi was standing behind me and…well…that was just my imagination..so I did some kind of fire jutse I haven't done before…and….more I can't…really..remember.." Sakura first wanted to rub Sasuke's back but instead she placed her hands in Sasuke's thick black hair. "It's okay, Sasuke-kun.."
That night, when Sasuke was finally asleep, team 7 went to the dead body to investigate the murder.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was morning and the sun blinded Sasuke who woke up annoying because of that. He finally opened his eyes. 'hn! that wast a nightmare I don't want to have again. I can't believe I dreamed about that! Come on, a dead lady looking like my mother and me almost killing Kakashi, burning my own back and crying in front of everyone. ' Sasuke smirked. 'tss how stupid!'
Sasuke sat up straight only to flinch from the sudden pain from his back. Sasuke's eyes grew wide as he glared to the bandages around his waist. "Wha.." He mumbled frustrated. 'NO WAY?'
"Sasuke-kun? How are you feeling?" Sasuke shot his head to the doorway only to see a worried looking Sakura standing there. When there came no reply Sakura walked towards Sasuke and sat on the floor in front of him. "Are you okay?" Sakura asked carefully. Sasuke couldn't help but shrugging. He really had no idea if he was okay.
Sasuke stood up with much effort and almost fell back to the ground again because of the pain. Sakura grabbed his arm just in time and supported him back to a standing position. Sasuke clenched his teeth and pulled away. "Leave me alone." He hissed while stumbling towards the doorframe. "Well, that's not really nice Sasuke." A voice sad. In the doorway, in front of Sasuke, Kakashi was standing. 'Sigh, not another one..' Sasuke thought as he grabbed the doorframe because he felt really dizzy again. His shut his eyes tightly and hoped the dizziness would go away soon, but it only grew worse.
Soon, Sasuke felt two big strong hands grabbing his waist and lifting him up. "No.." Sasuke mumbled with his eyes still shut. "I don't care what you've to say. You really aren't all right and you need to stay in bed today." Kakashi said. Sasuke soon felt his soft bed again and he felt a hand on his forehead. "Yeah, that's what I am saying, you really aren't all right." Kakashi spoke as he removed his hand again. "I'll get some water and towels for him." Sakura said as she stood up and left the room.
Sasuke finally managed to get his eyes open, only to see five Kakashi's circling around his head. "Argh!" Sasuke wrapped in his eyes with his hands. "You dizzy?" Kakashi asked. "Hn." Sasuke replied.
Sakura soon was back with a bowl of water and some small towels. She placed one of the wet towels on Sasuke's burning forehead.
