A/N: So I got more time to update! Yayz! And now, this takes its almost drama turn. This is quite an odd fic. Sorry. First it's emo unicorns, and now it's hospitals. Anyway, please enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any portable nurses.

Sasuke yawned and opened his door. He stepped out into hallway, only to hear another all-too-familiar crunch. "What now?" he asked, bending down to pick up the note.

Little brother,

I just got home...from my mission...my wound re-opened...and it's bleeding bad..really bad. And I really overused my eyes...I can't use my sharingan anymore..and not for a while. So yeah. I was in the middle of a battle and I used my Mongekyou Sharingan and...the next thing I know..I'm bleeding from my previous wound and I'm bleeding from my back as well. Then I couldn't open my eyes and then Zetsu (my partner in my mission) helped me walk home. I can open my eyes now, but I can't use my Mongekyou Sharingan for a long time.

So ...I'm sorry little brother. I don't know how long I will not be able to give you piggy backs, but I will try. But please understand if I have to put you down or I say 'no.'

I will be able to talk the rest of the day. Hug. I wuv you.


Sasuke, I just find out that I'm going to be in the hospital because my injuries are so horrible.
I will still be able to talk.


I love you.


And I'm sorry, but I will only be in the hospital over night.


 Well, I'm at the hospital. It's not serious, but im gonna be in there overnight.


 3333

I'm sorry, otouto.


Brother, if I'm not there when you are, it's because the doctors are looking at me (not like that). And while I'm here, I'm trusting you to keep Orochimaru away from me.

Love,

Itachi

As Sasuke's eyes traveled down the paper, he got more and more concerned. When he read the part about Orochimaru, he uttered "Done and done," aloud without realizing.

When he was done reading, Sasuke dropped the note, and teleported in a poof of smoke to the hospital. Ignoring the nurses, he made his way towards the room Itachi's chakra was coming from.

Bursting in, Sasuke looked upon his brother and launched into a speech. "Oh, poor oniisan! I lament for you and your horrible wounds. Please get better. I shall find whoever attacked you and I shall Chidori them, for I am an avenger." The Avenger music played in the background. "Remember to eat a balanced meal, as it will help you with your wounds. Be good. Get better. Understood? Good."

It was then Sasuke realized Itachi was unconscious and he had wasted his words on nothing.

Falling forward onto his knees and so his arms were on the bed, Sasuke started clutching the sheets. "Oniisan! Don't die on me! If you do, I'll be SO SAD! I shall cry forever! Your otoutosan looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooves you!"

At the end of Sasuke's outburst, Itachi twitched. "Oniisan!" Sasuke yelled, jumping on the bed like he was trying to wake Itachi up for school. "You're up!"

"Thank you for that speech, Sasuke. Just please don't lean on my side." Sasuke shifted himself, noticing that Itachi's eyes were black instead of their normal Sharingan.

"I'll be alright," Itachi reassured him. "It just hurts a lot, but I'm on medication for that." He smiled slightly.

"You're going to be alright? You promise you won't die?" Sasuke asked again, his eyes growing huge.

"Yes," Itachi said again. "The doctors bandaged me up. I'm better, or at least I'm getting better. I'm not gonna die." He leaned forward and hugged Sasuke. "I'm sorry, Sasuke."

At this, Sasuke tried to pull away, but he had forgotten how strong Itachi was, and was stuck halfway between a hug and running. "I'm so sorry! I wasn't strong enough and I made you worry!"

"It's fine, oniisan," Sasuke responded, patting Itachi's head. "I'd rather you not be strong enough. Last time you were, you killed off the entire clan."

"But I'm not strong enough."

Sasuke pulled away and puzzled for a bit. "Maybe it's your hate that's not strong enough."

Itachi shook his head. "No. The flu's been going around the Akatsuki. But you're right. If I was feeling well, I'd be killing people."

Sasuke made a mental note to not let Itachi get stronger.

"It'll be a while, but I'll be stronger again."

Sasuke made another mental note to get stronger before Itachi did.

"But I know I'll be here again tomorrow." Itachi was still speaking. "Leader's got three more missions for me this week."

"Ho no," Sasuke stated firmly. "No more missions for you, little mister. Call them off for sake not dying of bloodloss."

Itachi shook his head. "But I have to go on the mission."

Sasuke looked at him pityingly. "How can you go on a mission when you're blind, bleeding from the side and back, and can't use the Mangekyou?"

"If the leader said I have to go on a mission, I have to go," Itachi responded, sitting up against a pillow.

"If the leader said to jump off a cliff, would you?" Sasuke mumbled to himself. "You shouldn't go. You're gonna die."

"No, I'm not," Itachi protested, but Sasuke had already clung to Itachi's leg.

"Yes you areeeeeeeee! You're gonna diiiiiiiiieeeee! I just know it! Then I'll be avengeless! WAHHH!" He cried like a toddler.

"SASUKE!" Itachi pushed at his brother, trying to pry him from his leg. "I won't die!"

Sasuke looked up, sniffling. "Realllllllly? Promissssssse?"

Itachi rolled his eyes. "Would you like to stay in the hospital with me tonight? I'm sure I can get you a bed."

"SURE!" Sasuke yelled, sitting up. "I'll just get myself hurt, and we can be roomies! Oh, Naruto! Oh, Orochimaru!"

"Stop that!" Itachi biffed Sasuke around the head. "Ouch!" Itachi cluched his side.

"NO PAIN FOR MY ITACHI!" Sasuke attempted to attach himself to Itachi again, but he had moved.

"Just stay here and be good, okay?" Itachi asked, getting up.

"Fine!" Sasuke replied, smiling. "Sasuke is a good boy!"

Itachi chuckled, patted Sasuke's head, and gave him a cookie. "Yes you are. Now stay here while I get a nurse. She'll watch over you. I don't need to be worrying about you when I'm on these missions." He rand his hand through his hair. "Don't even join the Akatsuki."

"But I thought you offered me a spot?" Sasuke asked, rolling around on Itachi's bed.

"Yeah. Leader said you can join, but I don't want you to. Just my protective older brother side kicking in. I don't want you to end up like me."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "You didn't really care for my other childhood experiances before, now did you? It doesn't matter."

Itachi shook his head. "Fine. The Leader said you'll be my partner for a while, too. And I've got your robe (in midnight black) and straw hat (in goldenrod) and ring (in a random color), too." Suddenly, Itachi fell over on the bed, clutching his side. "OW! PAIN! LOTS OF PAIN!" He started rolling around on the bed.

"Oniisan!" Sasuke shot up, looking around for something to help him. He grabbed a pillow and started hitting him with it as if it was shock paddles. "LIVE!"

"AHH!" Itachi grabbed the pillow and the blanket and started rolling around in them.

"Itachi! This is no time for a Moulin Rouge refrence!" Sasuke ran around the bed, trying to help. Then, suddenly, Itachi went still, his eyes closed.

Sasuke looked over at him. "DEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAADDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!"

Itachi opened one eye and looked at Sasuke. "Sasuke, come here." He grabbed Sasuke's hand and squeezed it. "I think it was just the meds acting up. Go get me a nurse."

Sasuke wiped away his tears and nodded. Focusing the chakra in his feet, he took off through the door. "NURSE! NURSE! NURSE!" He ran as if he was on fire. "NURSSEEEEE!" He found a nurse, standing and looking quite bewildered in the hallway.

"Nurse!" Sasuke bent over, picked her up, and ran towards Itachi's room. "MAKE WAY!" He burst through the door. "ONIISAN! A NURSE!" He deposited the nurse on the ground next to him.

The nurse looked at Sasuke. "Wtf?"
