Sunny. Warm. Quiet. The complex beige mansion stood proudly in the distance, surrounded by green fields of grass, blooming narcissus, daisies and wildflowers. Overflowing with cherry blossoms, stooped a lone tree, with two brothers lying quietly underneath. The younger of the two, only about 6 years old, turned toward the older, with a questioning look on his face.

"...Nii-san?"

"Yes."

"Where did Papa and Mama go?"

"...I told you already, they went to fight."

"I know, but where?"

"...ah."

"...Nii-san?"

"...They went to a place far away from here. They aren't coming back."

"Why?"

"They don't have a choice."

"What do you mean nii-san?"

"...Mother and Father went to Heaven."

"...Oh… well why didn't you just say so?"

"...?"

"Mama and Papa said to me right before they left that they might have to go to a place called Heaven and won't be able to see us again. I asked them why, and they said that if they went to Heaven, you were the one that was supposed to take care of me. And if you somehow went to Heaven, I'd have to be in charge of myself."

"...ah."

"...Nii-san?"

"...yes."

"...Mama and Papa aren't coming back?"

"...no. They're not."

"...If I wanted to...can I go to Heaven and see them?"

"...yes...but you couldn't come back."

"...oh."

"...Don't go to Heaven or Hell. Stay here. Someone will need you someday."

"Really? A boy in my class said that I was just a 'pain in the ass that should do us all a favor and burn in the pits of Hell.'"

"...hn."

"What does that mean?"

smirk

"...nothing."

"...Nii-san?"

"...yes."

"Is it true?"

"...Yes. Someone will really need you there someday. So stay alive... foolish little brother."

"NII-SAN!!"

...splurt...

"WAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

"NII-SAN, WHERE ARE YOU?!"

-static-

"...Sasuke…"

"Nii-san, what happened? Nii-san..."

...RRRRRIIIIIIPPPP...

"NII-SAN!!"

"NII-SAN, I'M SCARED!!"

"ITA—"

"ITA—"

"...run..."

"…God dammit run..."

"FUCKIN MOVE YOUR LEGS SAS—"

"Teme? Teme, are you alright?"

"...what?"

"You were sweating like crazy, even though it's been only half an hour since I left. The sheets are ruined."

The injured raven haired man looked down at his bedspread and grimaced in annoyance. Apparently, his 'tossing and turning' not to mention 'sweat' had wrangled the sheets up into globs of damp, uncomfortable blobs.

"Teme...you really are something. Here, I'll move you to this bed, throw these sheets in the laundry room, and then we can unbandage your hands."

"...hn."

"Aren't you even the slightest bit excited? This might be the day that we can remove those nasty bandages from your hands forever...well, for the rest of the time you have to stay here."

The green eyed nurse smiled a childishly happy smile and pulled up a wheelchair to move the injured male. Unfortunately, the stubborn patient refused the aid of the man-made object and struggled to get up himself. But, as expected from a still healing veteran, his legs weren't ready to pick the body up.

"Really, here. Let me help you."

(grunt)

The stubborn man finally got to his feet. As he lifted his head, a wave of dizziness passed over, his legs buckled, and suddenly he was on the tile covered floor.

"Jeez. I told you to let me help. Here."

The pink haired kunichi offered both hands to her patient, who grunted but accepted her aid.

"Okay. One, two…three—"

Sakura pulled and managed to get the male up halfway, before she felt a sudden slip. The bandages that binded Teme's injured legs were very effective...and extremely smooth...which was probably one reason why the nurse and patient started slipping on the tiled floor.

Oh shit—

Before either of them could react, Teme lost his footing and fell, while Sakura came crashing down on top of him.

"OOOOOOWWWWW…"

"What the hell—"

"Jeez…I think I landed on your knee."

"What are you complaining for? I'm the one who just got crushed by a hundred-something pounds."

"Uh…why didn't you just sit on that wheelchair in the beginning? It would have been totally easier!"

"Whatever."

"You—"

Both heads shot toward the doorway as a gasp and a couple giggles broke the fighting atmosphere. Ino and Hinata were standing in the entrance, the blonde giggling mirthfully and the other staring and blushing at the scene.

"What the hell are you laughing at Ino-pig?"

"See for yourself."

Sakura, confused looked down and blushed with embarrassment. Though it had been an accident, when the pink haired kunichi had landed, he somehow managed to get each leg on either side of her patient. Teme had cushioned her fall, but was leaning on his elbows to keep his torso up. Haruno may be dense, but she knew that this was not a position a nurse and patient should be seen in.

Quickly, Sakura jumped to her feet an managed to pull her patient upright. Though still red in the face, she put forth a proud stance and forcefully glared at the two nurses standing in the doorway.

"This was a complete accident. I was helping Teme up from the bed, and he refused to use the wheel chair, so he fell, and then I tried to help him up and—"

"—somehow ended up straddling your patient? Hm?"

"Dammit, if you don't shut your fat larded mouth I'll—"

"Kidding! Kidding! Jeez, real nurses don't resort to violence."

The blonde sweat dropped as her long time friend sent her a death glare. Sakura turned back to Teme's sheets and began changing them, just as she intended to do before.

"You two can go now. There's nothing here for your curious eyes Ino."

"All right. Just pull that stick out of your ass and we'll—"

Two panicky nurses could be seen flying out of room 627, with strange objects (clipboard, vase, bedposts) propelled at the blonde. Strongly worded phrases soared out of the room like bullets, so inappropriate that many of the older men and women nearby walked away, too shocked to stay around and watch the queer scene.

"Sorry bout that."

"…hn."

The kunichi had finally calmed down, and was silently unwrapping the pieces of cloth that shielded her patient's hands. Though the male seemed to be unaffected from what happened just a few moments ago, the nurse was quite embarrassed. As dense as she way, Haruno knew that if a man and woman were seen in that…position…it usually resulted in certain…opinions…that soared through other people's head like wildfire. Just thinking about all the gossip that could have reached Tsunade-sama's ears made the girl go red with mortification.

"…you done yet?"

"Huh? Oh, almost."

"…now?"

"…now."

The last of the dirty bandages fell from Teme's hands onto the tiled floor. Sakura gasped as the male stared at his two appendages that were now in full view.

"Jesus Christ…"

"…Aa."

"You're hands…wow…you are a really fast healer. No, extremely fast healer."

Both of them stared wide eyed at Teme's fully recovered pale hands. Though slim and graceful, the strong appendages gave off an air of power and masculinity. The only sign of injury was a permanent, 6 inch long scar running down the man's palm.

"Wow…if your body keeps this up, you'll be new in no time."

"…hn."

"But that scar…I wonder…"

Gently, Sakura ran her delicate fingers along the curved mark. Her touch was faint, and yet it sent a chill up Teme's spine. Then, everything went black.

"Man down, man down!"

"Lieutenant, we've lost over half our men!"

"Step back, step back I tell you!"

"What ha—HOLY SHIT ANOTHER ONE'S CO—"

"Sergeant Hyuuga went missing after an ambush from the north."

"Dammit, this is—"

POOM-POOM-POOM-POOM-POOM

"AMBUSH!!"

"Dive, dive! Grab your weapons!"

"WATCH OUT LIEUTENANT SAS—"

-static-

"Hehehe."

Clash

Clink

"Aww, the poor soldier doesn't have his guns. What's he gonna do?"

"…son of a bitch."

The sound of metal colliding with metal could be heard.

"TEME, WATCH OUT!"

"Shut up! Watch your own ba—"

Smack.

"…kid, you better pay attention to me and me only if you want to live...for a while."

"Shut up."

"WATCH OUT SAS—"

-static-

Blood spilled from a deep cut on a pale hand.

"…Dammit."

"Ha. Even if he is one of your men, you should have let him die instead of grabbing that sword with your bare hands. You'll bleed to death with that cut."

"…Shut up."

"You wanna give up yet? That last move you made ended you up right under the tip of my blade."

"…as if."

"…you know what, I kinda like blonds. I think I'll keep your friend over there and…you know…"(smirk)

"…I think I'll make him my own fucktoy. Too bad he won't last long. I like blood when I play. Lots of blood."

Laughter.

Cackling.

"TEME…DON'T LISTEN TO HIM! HE'S JUST—"

"Shut up you stupid idiot. You're worthless; look at what your stupid actions did to your lieutenant."

CRUNCH.

"Hehehe…hehe"

"Hehe…hehe"

-static-

"…Teme…get out of here…"

SMACK…

CRACK…

RIP…

"DAMMIT I'LL KILL YOU ORO—"

The male fell to the ground, hands covering his face. The room was spinning again…spinning…red…blood…screaming…

"Teme? Teme? Hey what's wrong?! Teme?!"

-static-

"GET OUT SAS—"

"YOU FAGGOT, I'LL KILL—"

Red. Blood. Bodies.

"OROCHI—"

Cries. Hysteria. Screaming.

-static-

"ORO—"

Red.

"ORO—"

Blood.

"NARUTO!!"
