Two chapters in a day ;)

Chapter 8

The prisoner got pushed inside and was sat, not too gently, down on the single chair in the room.

"Just for your records, I'm not telling anything" The man smirked and looked straight at Sasuke.

"We could make a deal with you. If you give us some information on who your employer is and what poison you used on one of our men, you'll be released. That sounds good right?" Kakashi started out.

"Oh no, there's something much more pleasant than that" Sasuke felt unnerved by his behaviour. The captive kept looking at him with that smirk as if he knew something Sasuke didn't.

"And what's that, maybe we can give it to you" Kakashi tried to convince him with treats first before they would threaten him.

"It's already happening, so in a way you're already giving it to me" Kakashi had no idea what the man was talking about.

"Just tell me who you work for" He said a little firmer.

"Let's just say he's too dangerous for me to just give his information away like this"

"We could offer you protection"

"Naw.. I think I'll just sit back and enjoy what's going to happen" Sasuke and Kakashi looked confused at each other.

"It's just a shame.. He was so young, but that's what'll happen when you're foolish enough to play hero" The man's laugh was quickly cut of by Sasuke's hand. The force of the hit sent the man backwards and Sasuke jumped onto him and hit him again and again. The anger made him blind and he couldn't feel the pain in his hands from the burst knuckles. Kakashi suddenly got over the shock and grabbed Sasuke from behind and pulled him away from the man. Sasuke fought against the hold and tried to kick the man on the floor.

"You bastard. You know nothing about him." Sasuke spit at him

"Tell us. What did you do to him?" Sasuke elbowed Kakashi and was soon on the other man again, knocking a few teeth loose. He grabbed his collar.

"Say it" He yelled and bashed his head against the floor. Kakashi managed to get Sasuke of their captive again. Kakashi tried to pull him out of the room.

"If he dies, I promise you, your days will very soon be over too. I will guarantee that, even if I have to go down here and do it myself." Kakashi got him out of the room and pushed him hard against the wall. Sasuke slowly came too and rubbed his sore head. He couldn't explain what had happened to him there. He had just lost it. He felt something slick rolled down his cheek and when he wiped it away, he noticed it was blood. He had apparently hit so hard he had gotten blood from the other man's face on him.

"You fucking idiot" Kakashi yelled. "How do you think we will get anything out of him, when he's unconscious. You didn't think about that, did you?" Sasuke just shrugged, but inside he was a mess. His feelings was all over the place and it was all too overwhelming. This was all Naruto's fault.

"I think it's best you leave and go cool your head." Sasuke quickly left. He had to get away from here. He had to forget everything.

Soon after Sasuke looked up and sighed. He had apparently walked back to the hospital without noticing. He decided that now he was here, he could see if Naruto was any better. He slowly walked through the hospital and into Naruto's room. He stood beside the bed and looked down at Naruto. He still looked so pale and cold. It was weird seeing him like this. Naruto was always so warm, so vibrant. His fingers slowly moved down Naruto's cheek. It felt cold too. Sasuke sighed. This was bad. He couldn't just stand there and touch his cheek, that seemed so intimate. He sat down into the chair again and relaxed, this was probably going to take some time.

Sasuke got woken up by the slow beeping from the heart monitor that quickened. Sakura rushed through the door and looked at him. "Kakashi managed to find out what is wrong with him, it's some kind of genetic modified snake poison. We don't know how to stop it yet, but hopefully we will soon" She went over to see what was wrong. Naruto suddenly started shaking uncontrollably and thrashing on the bed.

"Find something to put into his mouth, so he won't bite his tongue off" She said worried. Sasuke just looked around confused. He couldn't think. Not anymore. The incisive beeping from the heart monitor and the sound of panic in Sakura's voice as she ran around yelling orders out was all too much. Everything was just happing so fast and he didn't know what to do.

"Sasuke wake up and do something" The yell woke him up from his frozen state. He put a finger on each side of Naruto's jaw and pushed hard to open his mouth. He then put his flat hand half inside. He had no idea what to do and just did something.

"Help me get him to lie still. With all this trashing he's reopening his wounds". Sasuke looked down and saw the blood slowly seeping through Naruto's gown. He used his other hand to push down on his chest, but even with the two of them it was hard. As he was using all this strength to keep him down, he heard a weird noise over the others. Almost like a gurgling sound.

"Wha-" He was just about to ask about it when he felt something thick and sticky against his hand. Sasuke immediately pulled his hand out of Naruto's mouth. He examined it with a frown. Blood. But why was there blood on it.

"He's choking on his own blood. Get him up!" Sakura yelled and quickly grabbed one of Naruto's shoulders and pulled. Sasuke quickly got a hold on the other and helped. They got him up in a sitting position and Naruto started coughing and hacking the blood up all over his gown.

"The poison makes the body reject its own blood. It's going to leak out from everywhere until we have it under control again." He noticed a red trail running down from Naruto's ear.

"Is that blood?" Sasuke asked horrified.

"Yeah, as I just said the blood is going to leak from everywhere it can. Mouth, eyes, ears and so on." A look of disgust and worry overtook his face. After a while, Naruto fell limply back into the pillows and lay still. Sasuke sat heavily into the chair beside the bed and sighed.

"Is it over now?"

"Maybe... Hopefully. We have to run some test on what kind of antidote could cure him. The man who had made this have used a lot of time making this and it's not reacting like normal poison is. We don't even know if he can find a cure.." Sakura said and couldn't completely hide how her voice shook slightly.

"But don't worry, it's Naruto we're talking about. He is always out getting hurt, but he is strong. I'm sure he'll be out of here soon" Sasuke nodded but he easily heard the fear in her voice. She wasn't really sure if he would make it. She tossed a sponge to him.

"I don't have time, so could you clean him up?" He nodded slowly and went to the little bathroom and filled a bowl with hot water. He came back and looked down at Naruto. All that blood. It was making his stomach churn. Sasuke wasn't afraid of blood. It was not unusual that at least one of the team members would be injured on a mission… But this time. This was different. He began wiping the blood of Naruto's face first. He washed the trail from his eyes. It almost looked like he had been crying red tears. What the fuck. What had just happened in here? His brain still hadn't really processed it all.

Sai opened the door and went to the bed.

"What happened?" He looked shaken. It was understandable, it wasn't like the usual wounds. Sasuke didn't say anything. He just kept on rubbing on Naruto's cheeks.

"Why aren't you taking care of his wound first? Wouldn't that be the best choice?" Sai asked, pointing at the wound on Naruto's upper stomach that was still gushing blood.

"Maybe… I… I just couldn't handle seeing his face like this. Wounds are normal. All who know Naruto knows that it isn't weird for him to get into trouble. But this" Sasuke gently touched Naruto's face.

"This shouldn't happen." Sasuke began rubbing his chin and neck to get the blood of. His movements got more and more desperate the longer he worked on all the blood.

"If I can just get it all off. I can treat the wound in the stomach like any other. It will just seem like any ordinary day after a mission." His voice said a little shaky.

I hope you still like it so far. What do you think of this turn of events? I hope I haven't made Sasuke too OCC in this chapter. I have released two chapters tonight, because there might be a little while before the next one can be uploaded (But fear not, it's only a little more than a week or so)

Please review, so I know what you think of it.
