Chapter 5 What I Wish For Part 2

"Naruto what are you—"

Sakura covered her mouth as tears flowed from her eyes. Everyone was shocked by Naruto's wish that they couldn't even think anymore. Sasuke too was shocked walking towards Naruto as he grabbed the hospital gown holding Naruto up.

"Are you an idiot!? Why do you want to die so badly?!"

'I can't take anything any more…'

"Why would you care?"

Naruto said looking back at Sasuke who was still in anger. Naruto grabs Sasuke's hand pushing it away. Sasuke took a step back and growled when he saw Sakura come closer to Naruto.

"Naruto-kun is it because Iruka-sensei died…"

Naruto became quiet and looked at Sakura whose tears were wiped away. Naruto just stared in disbelief as Sakura continued.

"Naruto please let us help you move on with life… I know that you have been lonely since the kyubii resided inside but we won't make you lonely anymore…"

"You don't understand…"

"What Naruto I can't hear you?"

"You don't understand since you have everything you ever wanted in your life…"

"Then please make us understand Naruto…"

Naruto held the pain in his heart but still tears flowed through his blue solemn eyes. Naruto grabbed his face in surprise seeing small drops fall to his hands since he thought that he was just being cold not the other way around. Sakura and Sasuke looked at Naruto in concern when they saw him fall backwards in sleep.

"Well then I guess it's time to go home for today but we really need someone to watch him…"

A doctor said entering the room seeing everyone in tears and an eerie presence took hold of the room. He told them that someone needed to watch Naruto so that he can be able to eat something rather than starve himself.

"Well I can't take him since I am not good with kids. Sakura's parents will kind of allow her to stay but not at night plus she is assisting Tsunade most of the time. Plus Iru—"

Kakashi stopped on what he was about to say scratching the back of his head. Sakura saw Naruto on his bed peacefully asleep. Sasuke looked up from his stand point and suggests that he would be available to take care of Naruto. Sakura said that she has to ask Tsunade if she will agree to the terms when they left to the Hokage's office.

-------------Hokage's Office------

'Knock' the door went as Tsunade was carefully looking through the documents as it piled up on her desk. Her mind couldn't concentrate on her work since she was worried about Naruto. She looked up from her desk and said that they can come in. The door opened showing Sakura and her teacher as well as Sasuke. Tsunade looked at them with confusion.

"Shishou is it okay that Sasuke can watch over Naruto… Plus Naruto… he is doing fine right now…"

"That's good I guess…"

Tsunade felt better knowing that Naruto was okay since they put him in the hospital. 'The Kyubii's chakara must have kept him alive' she thought closing her eyes taking a deep breath in. Sakura looked at her with a questionable look when she coughed out loud to make Tsunade to come back to reality. Tsunade then went out of her thoughts and then tried to remember what Sakura asked.

"Oh, that's right Sasuke staying with Naruto umm its fine… As long as they don't kill each other."

They all nodded in agreement and walked away. Sasuke went straight to the hospital saying that he will stay with Naruto. The nurses brought him a small mattress to sleep on. He then went to sleep on the hospital cushion.

-----------Next Day-----

Naruto woke up to see the ceiling up above his head. 'Man, I can't take anything anymore but….' Naruto stopped his thoughts when he saw a small bed next to his showing a pale skinned boy with a raven hair. He recognized that it was Sasuke when he got up all of a sudden in surprise. A young nurse came in to check on Naruto as she quietly entered. Sasuke then woke up in an instant sensing another presence inside the room. He got up to see Naruto being checked up by a nurse.

"Good morning dobe."

Naruto was still silent when the nurse radios other nurses to bring in some food. Naruto didn't care when he saw Sasuke was up.

"Naruto you should eat and you will be checked out later this afternoon…"

The nurse reported to Naruto who just turned his face away. Another nurse came in to hand a breakfast to Naruto. Naruto stared at the food in disgust pushing it away making Sasuke angry.

"Dobe eat your food…"

Naruto pushed it closer to Sasuke.

"DOBE EAT YOUR FUCKING FOOD!"

Naruto looked at him and saw his dark clothes on a table next to him and grabbed it changing his clothes. Sasuke then took the fork and instantly shoved the food in Naruto's mouth making the kitsune gag. Naruto threw up in the sink feeling disgusted by the food.

------Later

Naruto's teacher and his other teammate came in at the door seeing Naruto and Sasuke being silent. They all went to Naruto's home taking a small seat and saw how neat his house was. Naruto walked to his own room closing the door behind him when he went to sleep. Sasuke and everyone left the house shutting the door when they thought on what they all would do tomorrow.

"Ne, Sasuke what do you want to do tomorrow?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know but let's check what will happen…"

Sakura nodded and then spoke up.

"Sasuke, Naruto hasn't been eating since Iruka left…."

"What! How then you didn't come tell us?"

"Because if I did Naruto will…."

"He wills what?"

Sakura then told on how she knew of Naruto's habits as she recalled after Iruka left.

------------Before--------

"Sakura call on Naruto…"

"Yes, Shishou…"

Sakura left the room walking down to Naruto's apartment. Standing in front of the door she knocked. There was no answer but the door was open. She walked in calling Naruto's name over and over again. She saw that the cupboard hadn't been touched and that plates were not being used. She then saw Naruto in his bed asleep when Sakura stepped in and Naruto woke up quickly wondering who it was.

"Iruka-sensei…?"

"Naruto it's me Sakura… How have you been and have you eaten lately?"

Naruto looked at her from eyes of joy into colder eyes. He turned over in his bed with his back facing Sakura. Sakura walked closer putting her hand over Naruto's shoulder. Naruto grabbed her arm and snapped it when he growled.

"Get out of my house!"

"Naruto, I am just asking if you are okay…."

"I'm fine… Sakura…"

"Did you eat?"

Naruto looked at the floor and turned away.

"Naruto! Go now and eat! You don't want Tsunade-sama to worry about you!"

Naruto grabbed her wrist again and then grabbed a kunai quickly putting it to Sakura's hand where he puts it up to his neck. Sakura's eyes widen in shock when accidentally sliced Naruto's throat almost cutting Naruto's vocal cords. Sakura rushed to his side.

"Sakura if you tell anyone I will kill myself by your hands!"

-----------Present--------

"So that's what happened?"

"Yes Sasuke that is what happened…."

"Well I guess it's my job to take care of him since we will be doing missions together again right?"

Sakura then tears up hugging Sasuke. Sasuke just looked at her and stood there until Sakura was satisfied. Sakura was done crying when she said that she will meet him tomorrow on the bridge. Sasuke waved back walking home with his thoughts on Naruto.

"Dobe, what can I do to help?"

------------Tomorrow------------

Everyone was present in the meeting where Naruto was still silent as usual as Sakura would smile brightly trying to make a chat with Naruto. Sasuke sat in the branch watching his teammates on what they were doing. Kakashi popped out holding his book to his face when he spoke up.

"Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke we will be sparing on another. So you guys go train and I will be watching you…."

Kakashi finished staring at Naruto who had no expression upon his face. They walked to the training grounds where Naruto stood there looking up at the sky when Sasuke called out to him.

"Hey dobe let's have a spar right now…"

"I'm tired…"

"What dobe?"

"I don't want to…. Spar…."

Naruto managed to walk away past Kakashi who stopped him in his tracks.

"Naruto how about you go spar… Teachers orders."

Naruto grumbled walking back to Sasuke who was in fighting position where Naruto just stands there. Sasuke ran towards him as his fist was ready to punch him but Naruto was already behind him with a kunai at his throat. Everyone was shocked with Naruto's speed when Sasuke kicked Naruto away to find out that it was a clone. Then two hands grabbed his feet pulling him down to the ground where only his head was sticking out and Naruto was coming out of the ground dusting him. Sasuke growled as he poofed showing that it was a clone right behind Naruto.

"Come on is that all you can do dobe…"

Naruto then poofed being right behind Sasuke with no emotion with wind chakara swirling around him. Sakura stood in shock dropping her kunai to the floor as Sasuke's eyes widen. Kakashi dropped his book with his one eye open in shock. Everyone just stood there as Naruto walked forward going home.

--------------------------Naruto--------------------------------

He walks away with no expression going towards his home. Entering his home he walked to his bed going to sleep. 'I can't take anything anymore…. Someone please….. Help me since I can't take anything anymore….'Naruto thought remembering that Iruka died where his chest started hurting. He growled holding his chest in pain when he had violent coughs and he started crying. 'What is this?' Naruto questioned since he forgot how to neither smile nor cry for that matter. The door then opened revealing two people being Sasuke and Sakura enter the room. Naruto was still in his thoughts as tears fell from his pale blue eyes.

"Naruto are you okay?" Sakura asked noticing the small droplets from Naruto's eyes.

Naruto saw them and looked at them with no expression once again. Then Sakura sat beside Naruto when Sasuke told her that he will handle it. Sakura nodded and left the room leaving Naruto and Sasuke alone.

"Dobe, why do you want to go so badly?"

Naruto was still silent.

"I know it was about Iruka and you being alone but you aren't anymore…"

Naruto looked up.

"Naruto, I…."

Naruto still stared.

"Naruto, I care about you…. Just please give me back the old Naruto…."

Tears soon fell from Sasuke's face.

"I came back Naruto so that I can see you being your clumsy self…. But I couldn't see the real you…. Naruto just bring back the Naruto that I used to know….."

"You don't understand…."

"Make me understand Naruto…"

Sasuke leaned in front of Naruto who still had a blank expression. When all of a sudden he screamed with tears coming from his eyes. Sasuke then became scared as he called Sakura outside.

"Sakura!!!"

"Yes Sasuke…. What the hell is going…..? Naruto!"

Sakura rushed to Naruto's side where Naruto was just scared when he began talking.

"No, leave me alone!"

"Naruto, please calm down."

"No! Please leave me alone…. Iruka-sensei is gone…. Gone forever…. No!!!"

"Dobe, calm down!"

Naruto passed out where Sasuke and Sakura brought him to Tsunade's office. Tsunade looked at them where Naruto was in Sasuke's arms. Sakura told her everything that happened as Tsunade picked Naruto up from Sasuke's arms examining him.

"Well there is no physical injury…."

"So Hokage-sama what is wrong with Naruto?"

"Well he is mentally unstable as of now…. However, he is a fragile case plus we can't make him stay at his home anymore…. I can't put him in Sakura's place since Sakura is a girl which is not safe…."

(Sakura has her own home)

"Well Shishou what can we do with him?"

"Well Sakura I don't know what caused him to become shocked but just slowly treat him nothing different and I'll see what I can do…"

Naruto opened his eyes slowly not knowing what happened when he saw Sasuke in front of him. Tsunade went to his side to check how he was doing and kept asking questions on his condition. Naruto would just be quiet soon getting up from the table. Tsunade told him to sit down and asked him on what's going on.

"Naruto, how long have you not even eaten?"

Naruto became quiet not even showing any action. Sakura took a step forward when she spoke up.

"Naruto hasn't been eating for a year now Shishou…"

"What! Naruto are you trying to kill yourself?!"

"That was what I wish for…"
