Sasuke had fallen completely silent. His eyes were wide in shock, this explained a lot. He comfortingly placed a hand on Kiba's shoulder. Hinata placed hers on the other. "Kiba-kun even had a crush on her back then.. it all happened so sudden." she shook her head.

Uchiha Mikoto's fiminime senses told her to come in at exactly that moment witha plate with some drinks and something that probaly was root pretending to be a sandwich.

"Here you go!" she said happily before leaving the room again. Sasuke poked his sandwich, wich moved all flubbery. Hinata and Kiba did the same with the same results. "I'm going to die, ain't I?" was kiba's comment. Hinata looked like she was going to puke. "The bathroom is the first door left" Sasuke said helpfully. He then threw the flubbery sandwich substance in the bin close to the door, doing the same with Kiba and Hinata's flubber sandwiches.

Then Kiba asked something really surprising. "Do you... want to meet Mamoru?" Sasuke looked surprised at the other, before nodding. "The institute is close by" Hinata said.

"Mom we'll be going" Sasuke said, before they left the house.

((Konoha Institute/long term hospital))

Sasuke followed Kiba and Hinata into the big grey cube formed building. In the garden it really became clear this was an institute as well as a hospital for people who had to stay hospitalized for a long time.

When they entered the building it also became clear to him that Kiba and Hinata came here oftenly since the nurses greeted them warmly. "Mamoru-kun will be glad to see you, oh, who is this handsome boy?" The nurse that spoke to them winked at Sasuke, who lookes at the wall, uninterested in the woman. "He's a friend of ours" Kiba said. The nurse nodded and they stepped in an elevator. When they came out on the third floor they went left and took a door on wich a label with 'mamoru.'was pasted.

When they came in Sasuke saw a boy sitting in front of the window.

Kiba pulled Sasuke with him. "Mamoru... Me and Hinata have come to visit you, and we took a new friend with us"

The person named Mamoru turned around really quickly and looked at Sasuke. When their eyes met Sasuke felt like choking for the second time that day. In against to Naruto's eyes Mamoru's were completely empty. Or that was Sasuke's first thought. Since the other boy kapt staring at him he noticed more emotions soon.

Fear.. and Sadness and soon enough also pain.

They say the eyes are the windows of the soul

that scentence echoed through Sasuke's mind like an annoying fly through an echoing room.

"Uchiha Sasuke" he introduced himself. Mamoru nodded at Sasuke and smiled at the others. Then he motioned to the couch where the four of them took place.

Sasuke felt comfortable with the other. For a mentally unstable perrson Mamoru was very stable. A nurse came to bring them some tea while Kiba and Hinata told Mamoru about all that had happened on school since their last visit. Sasuke observed Mamoru quietly. After about tem minutes he noticed that Mamuru's eyes got an insane daze over them and that his hands started to shake victiously.

While the other two where chattering on he saw Mamoru reach out for a spoon. He recognized the look the other had on his face. It was the same Itac... that person always had when he was going to hurt someone after overdosing himself with all kinds of drugs. When Mamoru aimed the spoon at Kiba and threw it both Hinata and Kiba noticed that Mamoru wasn't himself anymore.

Sasuke grabbed The spoon before it could hit Kiba and held Mamoru's wrist with one hand, soothing the boy by petting him on the back with his other hand. Two nurses came in looking surpised to see that Mamoru had calmed down already. Hinata and Kiba looked surprised as well.

When Sasuke looked Mamoru in the eyes he saw how sad the other looked. Mamoru placed his head on Sasuke's shoulder as an appologie and Sasuke rubbed his back. Then both guys sat down again.

"Kiba-san, Mamoru's medicine is up, would you go to the storage roomto get new? You know the way" A nurse asked. Kiba nodded and looked at Sasuke as a silent gesture to come with him. Sasuke nodded and followed the other boy as the nurses soothed Mamoru.

When they walked through the halls Kiba spoke up. "When they found Mamoru he was all covered in cuts and bruises. His body has healed but his spirit didn't. Well actually his body didn't heal completely. He still has the scars of words being written in his stomach skin. Those words were 'be mt Valentine'... Kyashi always leaves those words behind at her victims.

Mamoru used to smile oftenly but it took him three months to even let someone come near him when he was conscious. He can talk but he doesn't want to. And noone will force him to.. But Mamoru never reacted that emotional with someone after that happened. Well that is to say, no one did untill you just did that" Kiba looked at Sasuke who just shrugged. "I'm used to comforting people who are like that" He said softly.

Kiba looked at him weirdly. "You mean with the boy from the pictures in your house?"

Sasuke stiffened and stopped. "Please don't talk about him when anyone from my family is around" He said softly, almost regretting. They kept silent for the rest of the walk towards the storage room. Kiba quickly took the pills they needed and then they walked back.

Sasuke had noticed that in every hall always were people but there was one wich had been completely empty. He asked Kiba about it. "Ah, that hall.. That is the hall where the people who are in a long term coma are stationed. Since someone in a coma doesn't talk ist's always silent in there. It's the hall around this corner." When the two boys turned around the corner they both stopped abruptly.

There...

Turning around the corner at the opposite of the hall not noticing them at all..

Was Valentino Kyashi..

"Wha.. wat is she doing here?" Kiba asked with a tiny voice "You don't think she's here to finish the job don't you?"

Sasuke looked around in the hall for a reason for her to be here. Then he answered with a question. "Do you think some people in this hall are not in a real coma? Just faking one for unknown reasons?"

Kiba looked at him like he had gone mad.

"Wha..?"

Then Sasuke pointed at a sign on the wal next to a door. It was the same kind of name label as was on Mamoru's door. On;y on this one the written name was.. 'Valentino Kyashi"

Kiba's eyes widened in shock. "It can't be..."

MKS: Short and annoying chapter, I know, it was jus neccesary for the plotline. Naruto's gonna make a big appearance in the next chapter. Plz keep on reviewing, it'll inspire me to write on.
