Insanity

Chapter 5

'Naruto…T-this…It can't be! IT'S NOT REAL! NARUTO-KUN!'

The boy couldn't stand the pain. All his emotions, overflowing and uncontrollable. His surroundings went black. Everything was focused on the unbearable sight. The sight of his love, helpless and weak.

He got up from the floor with trembling feet. He steadily walked toward the bed where Naruto had lain silent and unconscious.

'N-N-Naruto…'

Sasuke stretched out his shivering hand as he was about to touch Naruto's face. But he stopped before his palm came in contact with Naruto. He brushed Naruto's hair back away from his face.

'Naruto…I'm back… So wake up already…'

Tears rolled down from the boy's eyes and droplets gently fell upon Naruto's pale face. The fact that he cannot be heard did not stop him from speaking. All he wanted at that time was for him to wake up.

'Wake up… please…'

After a while, Sasuke wasn't able to wake him up. His hands were shaking as he put them on Naruto's arm.

'If you won't wake up… then I'll wait for you Naruto… I-I-I'll protect you… No one's going to get you. N-N-No one's getting near you… N-N-Naruto-kun.'

His voice was stuttering as he said those words. Sasuke remained at Naruto's bedside all day.

'swish'

the door slid open behind them. the Godaime entered the room. She looked stunned. Sasuke was still there. It seems that he didn't leave Naruto since yesterday.

'Hey Sasuke, you should eat you know. Naruto's not going anywhere.'

Sasuke's head turned and glared at the eyes of the Hokage. His eyes were serious and focused. It showed no sign that Sasuke was leaving his chair.

'I promised Naruto… that I'd wait for him till he wakes up… till then I'm not leaving… I won't…'
'Suit yourself then…'

the Hokage just walked out of the room, leaving them there.

'I guess… we could force him out. It's not good if he won't get out that room. We already lack people to do missions.

The following week, Sasuke still hasn't eaten or drink anything at all. Since he never took in anything, there was no need for him to go the men's room. A human can only live 2 months without food. If he continues this, he would die.

In the Hokage's office, the Godaime was thinking of how to get Sasuke out. They can't afford to lose an excellent jounin, especially now that they're short of people of do missions.

'I guess we really just should drag him out. Talking to him won't do any good.'

2 weeks have passed and Sasuke still hasn't left Naruto's bedside. His insanity is gradually getting worse. Even the nurse can't get near Naruto since Sasuke has become hostile and attacks anyone who tries to come near Naruto.

'swish'

The door slid open as Iruka went inside Naruto's room, room 328. He only wanted to check how Naruto was. He didn't know about Sasuke and his being hostile.

'Sasuke? I see you've come to visit Naruto too.'

As Sasuke had heard the sound of Iruka's voice, he quickly turned around and gave Iruka a frightening glare which sort of says 'get out now!'.

'grrrrrrrrr'

Sasuke growled a Iruka like a hungry lion waiting for its prey to move. Iruka was stunned at this and was surprised as well.

'H-H-Hey Sasuke, take it easy… I'm just here to visit.'

Sasuke ignored Iruka's plea. He didn't hear anything. To him, all the people who went inside Naruto's room are out to kill him.

'grrrrrrrrr… rrrrrrrr…'
'Sasuke… calm down'

Iruka slowly and steadily approached Sasuke while telling him to take it easy. As Iruka came nearer to him, he jumped on Iruka and beat him, punched him and kicked him repeatedly.

Hearing the noise, Kakashi hurriedly opened the door to see what was going on.

'SWISH!'

'Sasuke! Iruka!'

Without any second thoughts Kakashi quickly restrained Sasuke. He gripped both his arms tightly so that he wouldn't be able do get to Iruka. Sasuke was trying to get off Kakashi's grip, moving around, trying to shake off his arm from Kakashi's hand.

'LET GO! AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!'

Kakashi didn't let go of Sasuke or even loosen his grip. He knows that if he will let him go that he would attack him. Iruka was still on the ground, barely able to move, bloody and full of bruises, but he was still conscious.

'Hey Iruka, you alright?'
'Bruised and unable to move, but still alive.'
'That's good.'

Kakashi then gave Iruka a smile, a smile that says that he was happy that Iruka was fine.

'LET GO OF ME! LET GO!'

Sasuke was still struggling in Kakashi's stong grip. Shaking his arms endlessly just to his arms loose.

'STOP SASUKE!'
'NO! LET ME GO! I WON'T LET YOU GET HIM!'

Kakashi was surprised with those words. With that his hand sub-consciously loosened the grip on Sasuke's arm.

'He thinks we're going to kill Naruto…'

Feeling life back in his arms after being under restraint for so long. He then stepped back and went nearer to Naruto's bed. He stretched out his arms trying to stop Kakashi and Iruka from getting closer.

'grrrrrr……'

Sasuke was growling at them once again, accompanied with a burning glare. Kakashi stepped back a bit trying not to incite the boy.

'rrrrr… GO!'
'Alright Sasuke… I'm not going to hurt you or Naruto… so calm down…'
'G-GET BACK! YOU WON'T LAY A HAND ON NARUTO!'
'Sasuke… calm down… no one's going to kill Naruto… okay?'

Kakashi's attempt to calm down the boy was in vain. It wasn't getting anywhere. It didn't reach Sasuke at all. The only way to get Sasuke to stop being violent was if Naruto would wake up. But what are the chances of that?

'LEAVE! GET OUT! I'M GOING TO PROTECT NARUTO!'

Kakashi just stood there. It seemed that he was waiting for some sort of miracle. Sasuke was breathing heavily. He glared at Kakashi, conveying a message that he should leave already.

Behind Sasuke, lying down on the bed, Naruto was slightly regaining his senses. He could hear their conversation and Sasuke's attempt to protect him.

Sasuke turned to Naruto for a while… kneeling down on his bedside, he took hold of his hand and held it close to him.

'Naruto…I'll protect you'

He got up and turned to Kakashi again. He seemed to have calmed down a bit, his blind fury had already left, but the thought that everybody's out to kill Naruto hasn't.

'Leave… If you go now… I won't have to hurt you.'

Seeing as Sasuke had calmed down, he went nearer instead of leaving despite the warning. Sasuke saw Kakashi approach, he was struck with fear, he was trembling, he didn't want to get hurt.

'S-S-STEP BACK! I-I-I WON'T LET YOU GET NEAR HIM!'

Behind him, Naruto was slowly regaining consciousness.

'Hnnnn'

Naruto slowly sat up and looked around. He saw Sasuke, Kakashi and Iruka beaten on the floor.

'S-S-Sasu….ke…'

Sasuke was stopped. He turned and saw a pair of cerulean eyes looking at him. Naruto was awake. After a long time, Naruto finally awoke from his deep slumber.

'N-Naruto…'
