Notes before we start: This chapter is from Sasuke's point of view a few days after the last chapter
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, and any of the characters in this Fan fiction. I'd love to, but it's not going to happen any time soon.

Sasuke sat up completely, only his right arm hurting now. He wasn't hooked up to any machine to keep him alive now, and he could get up and do things. Well, he would do if his right arm didn't hurt so damned much. Now he could ask more questions instead of wondering. He could get answers to problems that had been bugging him the last couple of days.
Speaking of problems, Sakura entered the room with a bright smile on her face. She was going to be the first one to ask.
"Good morning Sasuke-kun, how are you this morning?" Her voice rung through his head before he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her.
"I'm fine. However, something's been bugging me." Sasuke asked the pink haired girl with his usual cold look on his face. "Are you seeing Kakashi-sensei?" He said this quickly, but Sakura blushed anyway.
"I-I guess it's pretty obvious. You were going to find out sooner or later…" Sakura looked away.
Sasuke was a little shocked, but a little happy too. He had gotten used to Sakura being obsessive over him, but now she had matured and was going out with their ex-Sensei… This would take a while.
"Okay. Also, what's the deal with Naruto?" Sasuke asked Sakura again, who was staring out of the window.
"I don't know. Ever since you've been in the hospital, he's been a little depressed." Sakura sighed slowly.
So, Naruto was depressed because he was in hospital? That was one thing that was going to have to be asked from the source. He stood up and tried putting his hand on Sakura's shoulder to thank her, but his arm hurt too much and he had to sit back down again.
"Shit, that hurts." Sasuke swore, grabbing his arm in pain.
"Don't try to move it yet, we still have to get you into a cast. We can do it for you right now, and then send you on your way." Sakura turned around smiling. Sasuke nodded right away, sighing slowly. A cast would get in the way of his training, but that would have to be put on hold for a little longer while he tried to find the answer the questions that were running though his mind.
Later that afternoon, Sasuke had been checked out of the hospital and was on his way home. Well, that was until he saw Naruto sitting down by the river they used to all meet up at. Sasuke bit his lip, plucking up the courage to go down and see Naruto. He didn't know why he was being so nervous, or even why he was blushing slightly, but he wanted to know a couple of things."
"Oi, Naruto." Saskue said, standing behind the mentioned boy. "I saw you and I wanted a chat with you." He could see in Naruto's eyes that he was flustered, and he seemed to be blushing a lot. What was his deal..?
"S-Sasuke! You scared me then." He smiled, but Sasuke just grabbed him round the neck.
"Don't you dare put on that fake smile, I saw you when you left when I woke up for the first time." Sasuke watched Naruto's smiled drop, and he felt a little saddened by this, but it was necessary for him to be telling the truth.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to act so depressed, but I was too happy to see that you were alive." Naruto's voice was quiet, and Sasuke sat down followed by Naruto. "So, what do you want..?"
"I wanted to ask you something." Sasuke picked up a small pebble and threw it into their reflections.
"Y-yes..?" Naruto gulped as he watched the ripples of the reflections.
"Why are you acting so depressed? You're normally a hyperactive but annoying dobe, and now…" Sasuke looked away, not wanting to see the expression on Naruto's face.
"It's because I l-"
"Hello there Sasuke!" Kakashi shouted, breaking Naruto's speech.

I'm sorry! I was going to have him say it, but I couldn't help but make Kakashi and Sakura a part of this. x.x Don't eat me.
