Authors' Note:
Yeeaaa, I'm back with a new chapter finally. And I haven't decided yet if this chapter is the last one of the past stuff or back to the present...I don't know, you'll just have to read and see what my hands type out...Happy reading and reviewing! And it might sound like I'm repeating but it's just a shortened version of the little...long paragraph from chapter one so no one would be either confused or think I'm repeating everything...x.x
Why can't he know?
Sasuke and Iruka sat in the emergency room for about two hours before they were told they could go to the waiting room in the main loby, but Iruka insisted that they stayed there incase Shizune came back and didn't know where they were. So they sat there, Iruka sleeping again and Sasuke working on Naruto's project, he was now happy that the hospital had wifi that the public could use...but didn't like the fact that some sites were blocked so he had to pull some strings and hacked into the search engine for a website that Naruto's note had listed down and went there. Naruto's project was easily done within thirty minutes and Sasuke had no problem at all in making it sound like Naruto was the one that typed it up, he was proud with himself.
While Sasuke was saving Naruto's project, the woman Shizune walked into the area and Sasuke woke Iruka up, "Hey dad, that woman's here."
Iruka made a small snorting noise and woke up, straightening his form to sit in the chair correctly as Shizune sat down in the chair next to him.
"Hey Iruka, Naruto's surgery was a success and he's in recovery now." She said. "But it's going to be a little while before any visitors can see him, do you want to move to the fourth floor where his room is?"
"Yea, we'll be in the waiting room." Iruka said and stood up stretching. "As a matter of fact, I think we're going to go home for about four hours..."
"That's fine, I'll tell lady Tsunade you went home and will be back shortly." Shizune nodded as Sasuke started packing up his things.
"Ok, and thank you so much Shizune." Iruka yawned and held his hand out to be shaken.
"Always welcome Iruka." Shizune smiled and shook his hand firmly before she left to go back to Tsunade.
"Why does she say lady Tsunade?" Sasuke asked as he picked up his bags and small things like his flash drive and Ipod.
"She's the most respected doctor in the city." Iruka answered and the two went to the car.
"Alright...and you going to wait until we're home to tell me about Naruto right?" Sasuke asked, still remembering that Iruka was going to tell him about it.
"Yea...I can't have anyone else hearing it..." Iruka said quietly and dug into his pockets for his keys.
"..." Sasuke was quiet, he didn't want to agravate Iruka on telling him why all the time because then he'd never be told.
When they got home, Sasuke put his things in his bedroom and put Iruka's laptop in Iruka's bedroom next to his night stand and went to the living room where Iruka was sitting down on the couch. Sasuke decided to sit in the chair on Iruka's left instead on the couch cause he figgured Iruka would fall asleep any minute again, he was tired and Sasuke couldn't blame him...it's been a hectic day.
"Ok...about Naruto...you obviously know his last name's Uzumaki...but that's his mom's maiden name. His dad's last name is Namikaze..." Iruka started explaining, then was interrupted by Sasuke which was rare.
"Wait, so you're telling me that Naruto's the son of the fourth president!" Sasuke asked as he jumped to his feet.
"Yes now be quiet." Iruka whispered, his hands beaconing him to sit back down.
Sasuke sat back down slowly, now his interrest in the story was at it's highest peak as Iruka went back to the story, "The car accident that killed Naruto's parents...wasn't no accident, it was supposed to be an assassination that was supposed to have killed all three of them, but Naruto was miraculously saved. He was dragged out of the car...he was covered in his parents' blood head to toe and his legs crushed, they didn't know his spine was injured until they went in to get x-rays of his body."
"How old was he?" Sasuke asked when he knew Iruka was done talking.
"He was two years old...I adopted him when he was just a month away from turning three in mid October." Iruka answered.
"I see..." Sasuke said as his head lowered a little bit, he now felt sorry for Naruto completely...his best friend was the son of the fourth president, the most famous one out of them all while he...Sasuke...was the Uchiha's heir...the last living survivor.
"Well go and get some sleep Sasuke, you look tired and we gotta get going in less than four hours...And Naruto can't know about this at all..." Iruka yawned stretched before laying down on the couch and immediately passed out snoring lightly.
Sasuke nodded and smiled a little and stood up to go to his room. Sighing, he set his alarm for six since it was almost three in the morning and he threw himself in bed, passing out as he said, "Why can't he know?"
