Naruto's POVThe sight I was met with made my body become completely still. No noise, no sound filtered through my mind, for it was struck with the one thought of: "How is that possible?" "How is that possible?"
"How is that possible…"
For hanging above me, in midair was…the ghost of a spirit. The spirit was holding a dripping knife.
His face…
'That face…'I don't think I will ever forget that expression for as long as I live.
The features on his face are so distorted; I can only squeeze one word out of my brain to describe them…insane. His face…is definitely one of a murderer. The knife in his hand, dripping with blood only backs up my assumption.
Actually…it's not an assumption. I am almost positive this spirit is out to kill someone.
That someone…being…
Me.
----
I had grown so accustomed to silence, when suddenly, a shrill laugh cut through my peace. I recognized the laugh immediately; it was the one I had heard clearly ring through the hallway earlier…
Blood dripped from his torn clothes, his jet-black hair: tainted with a burning red that stood out so immensely…dripping; dripping all over the white of my blankets…but also my sanity.
The spirit licked the blood clean off the knife, staining his tongue an even deeper shade of red. He laughed louder, manically, before staring threateningly into my eyes.
I guess I'll be with you soon, Hazel…
Sasuke's POV
What my eyes were met with was so intense, that I could have never imagined it.
'There was a spirit…'I turned the corner quickly, hoping I wasn't seen. My nervousness was unprecedented in that moment; I couldn't help but shake violently.
'with a bloody knife'.
'Do spirits even exist?'
From what I saw before hiding, the spirit licked his knife clean of blood. My stomach lurched, as I remembered the coppery taste. My mind was urging me: 'Look again, look again!'
I peered around the corner…and the sight I was met with…oh God. The spirit was about to kill someone! I involuntarily gasped, stifling a cry in the same breath. Tears rolled down my face; I didn't want someone to die! Ducking back around the corner, I gathered my wits and pieced them back together. 'Can I help? If I don't…his victim will die! What should I do?.!'
I took a deep breath and…
Yelled.
Naruto's POVSomehow, my mind worked on it's own accord and told me to move…and somehow I am on the ground, and I am alive. I successfully missed the slash of a knife that would have ended my life.
My teeth are clenched together: trying to ward off the pain. After falling out of my hospital bed, I crushed my left leg even further. And…I looked down. Blood had begun to pollute the fierce white of my bandages.
"WHY!!!" My eyes grew with shock. 'Who was that?' Sobbing followed this question. Intense sobbing that made both the spirit and I become immobile.
Is that…It's…the…
Uchiha.
I couldn't believe his audacity. He was actually willing to speak up for me…
And maybe…
'Save me.'
I'm not worried at all about why he's crying.
But…
Really.
Why is he crying?
Sasuke's POVI am so relived that the blonde-boy made it out of the way in time. I don't know what I would have done to myself if I knew I could have saved him and he ended up dead…
Blondie…
"Blondie!!!"
His bold eyes stared into mine.
Was that…concern?
Suddenly, he fainted.
I needed to reassure myself that he wasn't dead. 'Please, don't fade away…' In that moment, I couldn't care in the least if the spirit was to strike me down. That's why I courageously sprinted over to his limp body. Feeling for a pulse, I was assured that he was alive. I sighed a deep sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.
"Well if you want to know why…big brother…"
His voice sent shivers down my spine. 'Big brother? What is he talking about?'
That's when I saw it. The deep resemblance the spirit and Takuto shared…
'Oh God.'
'Please don't let it be…'
Springing to action, I made a human shield in front of the blonde-boy. I turned to face the spirit, and his eyes glowed with a passion before he started to speak.
"Ah, I figure I'll humor you for the time being and explain things to you. First of all…I am most definitely a devil sent straight from hell to assassinate the little creature named "Naruto" behind you. I figured I would use this body to do my dirty work, but as you can see…it's starting to disappear…so I must take this boy to the master quickly. He is needed for a very special purpose…for you see…he is the other fabled angel of light."
I finally knew his name. Naruto…"What? Angel…of light…what the hell are you talking about?"
"Just what I said." He licked his teeth clean of blood before throwing a menacing smile my way. "He is the other angel of light we need to morph with the one we already possess. My master wants this boy more than anything else…because he is the last key to destroying all the pain in this world. And after we kill him…" He took a step towards Naruto and I.
"Then his soul…" He was becoming dangerously close…
"Will be sent to my master…" His knife gleamed in the candlelight.
"And you wouldn't want master to be angry…would you?"
The devil swung his left leg, getting ready to kick me aside. I was so focused on guarding an attack on my left side, that as he swung his right leg, he successfully moved me out of the way. He took a few quick steps and reached the object of his desire.
I squinted, trying to inch along the floor to save Naruto from his almost certain death, but my side was hurting like hell. It was hard to even breathe. I was most likely suffering from a broken rib…but that doesn't matter right now…
Naruto…
All my struggles ended in vain as I watched the dagger penetrate Naruto's chest cavity in almost slow motion. Blood spurted out, all over the devil, and he basked in the glory of his victory.
My eyes stretched so wide I didn't think they would stay in their sockets much longer.
Naruto!!!
I whimpered, pitifully lost and feeling so unlike myself. At that moment, I couldn't bring myself to care that Takuto was dead…all I was worried about…
Was Naruto.
----
I couldn't help but watch as Takuto gave one last sickening lick to his knife before completely disappearing, the knife scattering to the corner of the room, leaving a trail of blood.
In his place, I could of sworn I saw the real Takuto's spirit giggle and give a little wave, saying, " I LOVE YOU BIG BROTHER!"
I smiled at the illusion and whispered back…
"I love you too little brother. And I always will."
I tried, but couldn't stop the single tear from rolling down my cheek.
----
All too suddenly, the world seemed to come back into focus, Naruto being the main thing showing in my mind.
Naruto…
All desperation was drained from my soul and only nauseating uneasiness thrived.
What if…I slowly inched my way towards him…
'Am I moving so apprehensively because my ribs hurt so much… or because I'm afraid of what state Naruto is in?'
What if…he's dead?
Reaching for the material of his shirt, I pulled myself near him, being careful to stray away from the color of red that seemed to of manifested itself all over him. With tears fresh in my eyes, and my body shaking hysterically and not stopping, I gripped his wrist.
He was…
He was…
Alive.
I didn't realize it when it was happening, but somehow all of my muscles had tightened themselves. Releasing my neck from its stiff position, I dropped my head on his soaking chest, not minding the wet sensation pooling on my forehead at all.
'He was ALIVE.'
All I cared about at that moment…and all that I had been caring about for most of the day was…
The boy I was currently resting on.
----
"HELP!!!" The echo of my voice sounded utterly hollow and weak. My voice was starting to become quite scratchy, as I had been shouting for help, from anyone for the past two hours, but to no avail. No one had come to our aid.
I had done all that I could without releasing the contents of my stomach. I couldn't bear to take out the dagger…so I had stayed up with him and tried to stop the bleeding as best as I could for the last two hours.
When I felt his breaths become slower and slower, I started to panic.
Without hesitation, I ripped up my shirt and wrapped it around his middle.
I looked as far as the candles would allow me to and saw a wheelchair not too far away, but definitely a long walk from where I was currently resting. I decided it would probably be easier to bring the wheelchair to Naruto and push him to a nurse.
Smearing the blood off of my cheek, I stood and more or less limped to the wheelchair, but got it to Naruto okay. Gingerly, I set him into the contraption. His face was one of agony and I could almost feel his pain.
Takuto…
Pushing a wheelchair with a sleeping angel in it, I made my way to someone that would save my…friend?
----
Walking was slow at first, but I finally gained control over it and made my way through the dim hallways, candle light being my only source of illumination. Suddenly, I spotted a head of red further up ahead, and almost pushed the wheelchair straight into it.
"Hello?" A pleasant voice said. Getting a better look at the nurse, I saw that she was actually quite attractive. She had two red, silky, long braids down her back, and the most piercing yet calm green eyes I had ever seen.
How she had managed to look so good after the recent disaster was beyond me.
She realized I was pushing a wheelchair, and with one glance at the occupant…her hand flew to cover her horror stricken mouth.
"What…WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM!!!"
----
I knew that I couldn't tell her the truth…well it wasn't like anybody would believe a story that closely resembled what I just went through…
I instead told her that he wasn't being careful and had tripped and fallen with the dagger in his hands, and it had pierced his chest as he had fallen.
I saw the look of disbelief on her face, but she accepted the story and treated his wounds all the same. Removing the dagger proved to be a difficult task, but the agile nurse handled it very well. Once she had gotten him situated in a bed and he was no longer fatally injured, the nurse decided to talk to me.
"My name's Lelani. What's yours?"
"Uchiha Sasuke." I could see the look of shock that came over her pretty features as she finally came to the realization…that I was indeed a member of the Uchiha family, owners of this very hospital.
It was quite amusing to see her scramble to make sure everything was presentable for me…but at the same time I despised it. Just because I am rich doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to be treated the same as any other person.
Without noticing, I sighed in melancholy. "What's wrong, Uchiha-san? I probably already know the answer to that question however…" (1)
"It's just…my…my brother just died." I hated to see the look of sadness that marred her beautiful face. She was obviously a very caring person.
"Well, Uchiha-san…"
"Please. Just call me Sasuke."
She blushed and started her sentence again. "Well, Sasuke, I'm really sorry for your loss…but you really must move on. You have such a bright future ahead of you…and I'm not only saying that because of your last name. I really think…that you have the potential to become something of great importance…like the support for a lost soul that needs what you could give. Please…don't give up on them when the time comes, Sasuke."
She closed her eyes and frowned, looking down at the ground. I let her words effect me too much…I think…
"I won't let them down. Don't you worry about it. And if I do...I'll be sure to make things right again." My brain seemed to provide the words best needed for the situation. I really didn't understand what she meant…but I have a feeling some time in the future I will remember her words.
"So…is this boy…your friend? Or…a stranger?"
I didn't know how to quite answer that question…I mean…with all the hate he feels towards me…I don't even know what I did!!!
And her question made me realize…
How much it pissed me off.
Then…why was I so compelled to save him? He is just a nobody…a nobody that I don't even care about…
"I don't know him. But…if he wakes up…" I got ready to leave. "Please don't let him know that it was me that saved him." With one final glance at Naruto, I left the room.
I missed the knowing smile Lelani gave me as I left… 0000000000oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo0000000000
WHERE IS IT!.? Why can't anyone do ANYTHING correctly!!! I need the other one, damnit!!! YOU WILL BE MINE SOON!!! Don't think I would give up so easily…
