Oh wow, could you believe I'm actually updating? Wow…
Okay, well I'm working on some other stories (that's not going to be posted in FF but who cares). But after reading some heart breaking story of a good writer, I really wanted to continue with this. Seriously, it's not me…
Chapter 6: Accident (such an original name eh?)
He couldn't believe it. He just couldn't. Kakashi actually abandon him in a time of need. The blonde sulked and the teacher chuckled lightly. Naruto leered at his teacher.
"What's so funny?" He said impolitely. Mr. Uchiha didn't say a word and opened the car door for Naruto to get in. Naruto didn't want to follow but what other choice does he have? He's lost.
The car seat curved from the weight of their passengers. The engines started roaring and the car sped off.
While the car was humming in motion, Mr. Uchiha glanced at his student. The blonde was staring at the sceneries out of the window. His eyes were misty but blue and every once in a while his head jerked from the bumps underneath the car. Uchiha sighed and focused on his driving.
Naruto watched the other cars falling behind. He didn't really focused on anything at all. He was thinking about the previous incident in Star city.
'I wonder what's going on lately… I've been losing my mind (literally) since last month. I couldn't think straight. Heck, maybe someday I won't even notice myself!' The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he got.
'Maybe it's just temporary. I think I'm just over stressing is all…' He stayed with that decision feeling more comfortable. They were now through a bridge.
Mr. Uchiha noticed through all this mess as well. It's like something is eating away Naruto. Like everyday, his memories are being chipped off. This made Uchiha concerned.
"Naruto?" The blonde looked up to his teacher.
"Yeah?"
"Any problems you want to talk about? Love life? School? Parents?"
"Uh… no"
"Any peer pressure?"
"I'm fine."
"Fine.", Uchiha sighed.
But Naruto really wants to talk about these things. He just couldn't hold it in forever. He has to talk about it to someone. The blonde wonders if he could trust his teacher on these problems.
'He seems reasonable' He thought…
"Mr. Uchiha?"
"Yes?"
"Um… there is something I want to talk about." Uchiha's eyes watched the boy; his ears perked up.
"You know… Well… Um… Ah… Let's just say… um…" He laughed nervously, "It's pretty hard to explain…"
Uchiha made no comment. Naruto swallowed.
"Well, um there have been things like I've been forgetting some stuff."
"Go on…"
"Like today in Star city."
"Why were you there in the first place?" Naruto was puzzled.
"I'm not sure exactly…" He stared at his bags "I guess I've been shopping"
"And you didn't know?"
"Yeah, I guess so. But it's not only today. It's been happening more frequently these days"
'Yeah, I noticed.' Sasuke pondered.
"Well, like the time I lost my wallet, but that seems reasonable. Everyone loses their belongings sometimes. Or the time I forgot about the popcorn and drinks. Or the time when I forgot about my book bag. And, I think you should know, that I've been doing pretty badly on my education." The blonde's head jerked "Do you think I'm having problems?"
"Well, I couldn't really say that you're having problems. But if you remember what you forgot, than that's a good start to recover." The blonde smiled. It made Uchiha's heart flutter.
They stood there silent, watching each other. There was no tension here; it was just to enjoy one another's company. Until…
"Mr. Uchiha the wheel!" The blonde screamed. Uchiha broke eye contact once he remembered he was driving. A large truck was in the way. He stepped on the brakes hard making the car screech in protest. But it was too late. They braced themselves.
The car smashed right in the side of the truck, making a large dent on both vehicles.
The impact was so strong, that the airbag only stopped a quarter of their fall.
Uchiha's forehead had a stream of blood flowing on his face all the way to the chin. He groaned, pressing his head to stop the pounding headache. He choked a bit of blood, one of his ribs are broken. Uchiha was very fortunate. But Naruto was not…
The blonde was unconscious. His head lay on the bloody airbag. His entire body went limp. Uchiha panicked.
"Naruto! Naruto!" The teacher shook lightly to the blonde but he heard no reply. He gently pressed his hand on his head. When he drew back, he gasped; his hand was coated with fresh blood. The blonde's hair is not becoming so blonde anymore.
Knowing that the boy won't last long, Mr. Uchiha groped under his car seat for his cell phone. His fingers rapidly dialed 911. After answering the phone, he opened the front lid of the car and took out a large handkerchief.
Picking up the blonde's head, he laid him on the car seat and wrapped his forehead with the piece of cloth to stop a bit of the bleeding. The blood soaked right through the cloth which made Uchiha even more worried.
A car stopped at the accident and a person with gray hair tied to a ponytail and large round glasses appeared.
"Any problems?" the person quickly noticed the blood dripping from Uchiha's forehead.
"YES there is a problem! I need help!" The teacher was agrrivated.
"Do you have anything to help stop the bleeding?" He asked impatiently. The person rushed towards his car and brought a wrapped large white T-shirt. Uchiha snatched it away from him and wrapped it more on Naruto's forehead. The person saw Naruto in poor condition and gasped.
"What happened sir?" The teacher ignored him.
The ambulance arrived with a stretcher ready. Both the teacher and student were brought out from the busted car and into the ambulance. The person with grey hair followed them with his car.

Sasuke Uchiha was in room 233. His head and chest was bandaged up from the previous accident lying in bed.
'This is my entire fault. I should've watched the road' His teeth clenched and his hands formed into fists.
The room was completely white. Uchiha's dark hair seems to stick out from the light color.
The door knob was opening. Uchiha sat up. It was the doctor.
"You're healing very well Mr. Uchiha. Just a couple of weeks and you'll be out."
"Where's Uzumaki?"
"The boy?" Uchiha nodded. The doctor sighed.
"He's in the examination room."
"Will he be alright?"
"We'll see once we get the information about his progress. Oh, and there is someone here to see you." The door was opened entirely to show the man from Uchiha's encounter from the accident.
"Hi" He smiled. Uchiha glared.
"What do you want?" The teacher said venomously. Normally, he would be polite to everyone but he's down right pissed to even care now.
The person laughed nervously, "My name's Kabuto. I see you're recovering well."
"Yeah." He turned his gaze away. Kabuto looked around.
"Um… how's the boy doing?"
"None of your business." Kabuto gave a discomforting smile but he can understand. With the mess he's been to.
"Okay, well I'm just here to say good luck to both of you guys. I'll be waiting in the patient room." He waved a little and started leaving.
"Hey.", Kabuto stopped.
"My name's Uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha." The gray man smiled and left.
A busy nurse came bustling in Uchiha's room informing the doctor the news. Uchiha strained his ears to hear, but they were whispering quietly. He grunted.
When the nurse left, the doctor was surprised. Something must've been wrong.
He went towards Uchiha, "Mr. Uchiha, are you related to this boy?"
"I'm his teacher." His heart began to pound nervously for the news.
"The boy is going to be alright. He has some serious injuries but will be taken care of." Uchiha sighed in relief.
"But…"
Uh-oh, there's a "but".
"Sadly, the boy seems to be having problems not concerning the accident. It appears he has a fatal disease. A disease that will quickly shorten his life span." Uchiha's breath hitched.
"I'm very sorry, but the boy contains Alzheimer's disease."
Okay ending it right there. Yay! We got to the part when the disease is known woot! I doubt that the disease topic thing will EVER show up but it did!
Chapter 7 is when Naruto sees that blank blank about the blank, blank. Sorry that's all. Heheh…
