XxXWeAsHumanXxX: Guten Tag! I don't own Naruto. Thanks for reading! :33
I found a way to copy and paste it! Yatta!
Please, tell me if you see any mistakes so I can change it!
Cockkashit-I mean Kakashi's POV:
In my apartment, my 'Make out Paradise' book sat untouched on my bed stand. I couldn't read right now. Hell, I could barely think right now. This has to be some cruel joke that Naruto pulled. I already lost Rin and Obito, and I'm going to loose Naruto too. Naruto, who reminds me so much of Obito.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." The door opened and Guy walked in on crutches. His smile was wide, a little too wide, like it was forced. He made his way toward me, avoiding all the trash on the floor and other hazardous obstacles. I sighed and put my head in my hands. "What is it Guy?"
"Can't I check on my number one rival?" I eyed him suspiciously and he fidgeted under my stare. His smiling face turned solemn. "How's Naruto?" My stomach dropped and I turned away from him.
"He has a terminal illness." I heard one of his crutches drop and I twisted my neck to face him.
Guy was collapsed in one of my chairs. His face was pale and his bushy brows were furrowed.
"Your joking..." I shook my head. he put his head in his hands. "He's so young... Do you know how he contracted it?"
"No, I was planning to see Tsunade-sama tomorrow." Neither of us spoke for a while. The silence was painfully quiet.
"I'll be going..." I didn't respond. Guy hobbled out the door and softly shut it behind him.
Tsunade's POV:
There was a knock at the door and Shizune popped her head in.
"Hatake-San is here to see you." I took a swig of my sake.
"Let him in." Shizune opened the door wider and let him in before shutting the door on her way out.
Kakashi had bags under his eyes and his grey hair was ratted. "What is it Kakashi?" My voice was slurred slightly.
"How... how did Naruto contract it?" I sagged in my hair and rubbed my temples,
"That's the thing, I don't know... I've never seen anything like it before." He looked angered and he took a small step forward with his fists clenched.
"How do you not know?! Your suppose to be the best medical nin around!" I stood up angrily and slammed my hands on my desk.
"Shut the hell up!" I dropped back into my chair. "I've done the best I can do... It pisses me off that I can't figure it out." I placed my head in my hands.
The door opened.
"Tsunade-sama. Your presence is requested
in the conference room." I stood up and downed the rest if my sake.
Kakashi formed hand signs and disappeared from the office as Shizune and I exited.
Naruto's POV:
The hospital is too quiet. I'm used to all the ruckus from neighboring people in other apartments to lull me to sleep.
Sakura visits every day when she thinks I'm sleeping and drops off new sunflowers. I flicked one of the yellow petals making it flutter to the ground at an agonizing slow pace.
Growling, I shoved the vase roughly off the dresser. It clattered to the ground and shards of glass scattered over the tiled floor.
A nurse with blue hair and green eyes burst into the room with wide eyes.
"Naruto-san!" She looked at the shattered glass and sighed. "I'm going to call the cleaning crew. don't move a muscle."
She sped out of the room and returned shortly with a portly man behind her. The man knelt to the ground and swept up he shards of glass as well as the bright petals.
The nurse sat on the edge of my bed. Her blue hair was wrapped neatly on the top of her head in a tight bun. The janitor left the room and closed the door behind himself.
"Naruto-san... You remind me a lot of my younger brother." I turned to look at her with a curious gaze. "My brother was two years younger than you when he contracted a terminal illness."
Her hands clenched and her shoulders shook slightly. "He died a little over three years ago. When he died, I decided to become a doctor so I could help people like him." Her green tear filled eyes met my blue eyes. "But... It seems like I'm still unable to so anything, but watch as patients slowly die..."
She wiped her eyes and stood. "Sorry, I shouldn't say such things." She shuffled out of the room.
Sakura came by later with three vibrant sunflowers and an apple in her possession. Her green eyes met my wide blue ones. She placed them on the bed stand at sat on the chair besides me.
Sakura took a knife and began to slowly peel the apple.
"Sakura..." I sat up an extended my palm. "Here, I'll do it." She looked up and before giving me the apple and knife. She sighed and tucked a strand of her pink hair behind her ear. I peeled the green skin off the apple for a while before she finally spoke.
"Naruto..." She fisted her red skirt. "Did Sasuke come by earlier?" I stopped peeling the apple and almost face-palmed.
"Yeah, he did. Why?" She hesitated and then gave me an awkward smile.
"I was just curious, that's all." I started peeling the apple again. Sakura suddenly stood up and I sliced my thumb. "Ah! S-sorry Naruto!"
She placed her hands over my thumb and green chakra healed the cut on my finger. "There. "
She walked over to the window and pulled it open. The wind brushed over me making me shiver.
"Sakura-san, visiting hours are over." Sakura turned and bowed to the nurse.
"Of course. I'll be out in a second." The nurse turned to leave but paused at the door.
"Naruto-san." I turned to look at her. "I'll be back with your prescription." The nurse left and shut the door soundlessly behind her. Sakura fiddled with the hem of her shirt.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow..." I nodded.
"See you then." The pink haired ninja left without another word, and the open window left me shivering. I shakily stood on my legs and hobbled over to the window.
My clammy fingers fiddled with the latch to the window and shut it. I rubbed my arms quickly in an attempt to warn them as a brown haired man entered the room.
"Hello Naruto-san. My names Satou, I'll be dealing with your medication from now on." I shuffled over to me bed and gently sat.
Satou pulled a needle out of his medical bag and rubbed some disinfectant on my forearm. "This'll only sting for a second. " He inserted the needle and quickly applied a bandage.
Afterwards, the doctor soundlessly left the room.
The bowl of oatmeal steamed on my beside table.
"I wish I had some ramen..." I looked at it sourly.
"Naruto, you have to eat it, to build up your strength." Shikamaru sighed and moved the black pawn a space forward. "It's unhealthy, and your not allowed to eat ramen."
"I don't see why not," I jutted my bottom lip out in a pouting manner. "I'm dying anyways." Shikamaru's shoulders stiffened and he rubbed his temples.
"Naruto, ramen has 2,858 mg of sodium, and consuming too much sodium can increase a person's risk of heart failure, osteoporosis, stroke, high blood pressure, and heart disease."
"Fine, fine I get it. I still don't see why I can't eat it though." I looked at the chess board and moved my horse. The pineapple-haired nin took down my white horse with his bishop.
Outside my hospital window, which is locked so pink haired ninjas don't open it, the rain drizzled at a light pace and the wind blew the branches of the tree lightly against my window.
After a one-sided chess match, Shikamaru checkmated me with little casualties in his part.
"I swear, your cheating!" Shikamaru rolled his eyes and bit into an apple that was in a fruit basket besides my bed. A hawk pecked against the window.
"This is such a drag..." He stood and pulled on his vest.
"The Hokage's summoning me. See you, Naruto." I gave him a lazy wave and a small smile, which was slightly turned into a grimace from a sudden sharp pain in my chest.
"I'll be here... Tell Tsunade-baa-chan I said hi." He nodded and closed the white door behind him.
The chess board rested on a foldable table besides me with my white king toppled over.
After Satou finished my injections, a green haired nurse came into the room with a wheel chair in tow.
"Hello, Naruto. How are you feeling?" I opened my blue eyes and looked at her with an annoyed expression on my face.
At the moment, my chest was throbbing in a painful manner.
"Fine..." She gave me a wide, if slightly forced, smile as she rolled her chair closer.
"Well, I thought since your birthday is in two days, I could roll you outside a bit." I looked at my thin legs that could barely hold my weight anymore. I've only been in the hospital for a month and some days now, yet my legs are practically all bone.
"Okay..."
She assisted me into the wheel-chair, clipped some of my medical equipment to the chair, and places a heavy quilt over my shoulders.
When we finally checked out, the scent of rain and dirt filled my nose. The rain had stopped, but the dirt was still moist and the leaves where still dripping. The hospital always smelled of disinfectant, and looking at the same four white walls for weeks was starting to irritate me.
Sakura was approaching the hospital entrance with two vibrant sunflowers in her possession when she spotted the nurse and I.
"Hello Hana-san." I assumed that was the name of the nurse.
"Oh, Sakura! I haven't seen you for some time, how are you?"
"I'm good, are you walking Naruto?" I gritted my teeth, but kept my expression neutral. She was talking as if I was being walked like a dog...
"Yeah, since his birthday is in two days and all." Sakura looked shocked.
"Really? That soon?"
"So Sakura?" I cut into their conversation. "What brings you here?" The pink haired ninja seemed to suddenly remember my presence.
"Oh!" She gestured towards the two sunflowers in her possession. "I was about to stop by your room, but your already out." She trained her green eyes on the nurse. "Do you mind if I walk him around?"
"Of course not!" Sakura handed her the flowers.
"And can you take these to his room?"
"No problem. It was nice seeing you again, Sakura." Hana walked back into the hospital and Sakura replaced her behind the wheel chair.
After a few moments of silence, Sakura spoke.
"How are you feeling?" An irritated expression crossed my face. I'm sick of people asking me this god damn question. My chest ached and I clutched my shirt.
"I'm fine." The passing tree's branches swayed in the wind and sprinkled me with water. I shivered slightly and pulled the quilt closer to me.
"Have..."
"Hmm?" I turned my head to face her. Her forehead was scrunched and she was frowning slightly. Sakura met my quizzical blue eyes.
"Have you seen Sasuke-kun recently?" She timidly put her head down.
"Sasuke? No, no I haven't... Why?" She looked away at anything and everything else.
"Nothing important." She stopped the wheelchair near a pond. The water gently waved with the wind and the area surrounding the pond was thick with mud.
Sakura sat on a bench and gently rubbed her belly in a soothing manner. She put her head into her hands and sighed.
"There's actually something I have to tell you too..." She trailed off and gazed at the pond.
"What's up?"
"The reason I've been so avid about finding Sasuke-kun recently... Is because... I'm... pregnant. With Sasuke's baby."
I froze.
How was I suppose to react to that?
I've liked Sakura since I met her, and that ass can just try and kill her, and he still gets to fuck her?!
I lowered my head so she couldn't see my face. She wasn't looking anyways.
Why would she like me? I'm dying...
Who would like a ticking time bomb?
"I see..."
Good for her... Jolly fucking good for her.
I faked a smile, and looked up at her expectant green eyes.
"Congratulations!" She smiled and patted her tummy.
Sasuke's baby... Not mine...
"I haven't told anyone else yet. I figured I'd tell Sasuke first, then you and Kakashi-sensei, but I can't find him."
She turned towards the lake again with a relieved expression.
She deserves to be happy... I'm just being selfish.
I looked up at the sky and watched the white clouds. In my peripheral vision, Sakura rose.
"I better take you back to the hospital, it's chilly!"
She started to wheel me back to the hospital and talked frequently and excitedly about what she'll name Sasuke's baby, and when she's going to start designing the room.
Back in my hospital room, I rested facing away from the door on my bed.
I peered out my window and watched the blue sky and white clouds.
"Naruto-san, you have a visitor." Someone entered the room and the nurse shut the door behind them.
"Naruto." A bored voice called for me and I sat up while turning to face him.
Shikamaru...
"Shikamaru... It raining pretty hard, isn't it...?" He looked confused.
"Huh? It's not- Oh..." He looked down. Salty water was running down my cheeks in a constant flow. "It is..."
He sat in the stool besides my bed and I laid back down on my bed, but I was facing the pineapple-haired ninja.
"Do you want to play chess?" I looked at the set up board.
"Sure... I'll be black."
Sakura's visits are a little more lengthy now that I know about her pregnancy.
"What do you think? If it's a girl should we name her 'Sarada' or 'Emi'? No- wait 'Sarada' is just precious!" I just leaned on my bedpost in deep thought.
"Naruto? Are you even listening?!" I rubbed the back of my head apologetically.
"Sorry Sakura! I just spaced out for a second."
"So anyways, if it's a boy I think he should be called 'Kosuke' or 'Sachihiro', what do you think?"
"Sachihiro." I answered simply. She squealed in excitement.
"I thought so too!"
"Sakura-san, the visiting hours are over." a nurse poked her head in the door.
"Already?" She stood up and grabbed her jacket and scarf. "Time really flies..." She gave me a quick hug and my heart lurched painfully, not physically but emotionally. "I'll be back in two days since I have some planning to do."
"Bye Sakura." I gave her an awkward smile and wave while she shut the door behind herself. I let my arm fall limp and the smile drop from my face.
Early the next day, a raven-haired man knocked his knuckles on my window, successfully waking me from my slumber.
"Sasuke...?" I shakily stood and walked to the window. After a few unsuccessful attempts, I managed to pry open the window.
"Dobe." I gave him a glare.
"What do you want teme?" I sneered. "Are you here to talk about your new baby coming up?"
"What are you talking about dobe? I just got back from a mission." My blue eyes widened. He doesn't know?
"You didn't hear?" He gritted his teeth.
"If I heard, I wouldn't have asked."
"Ask Sakura." I turned around quickly, planning to stalk off to my bed angrily, but I nearly fell in the process but ended up being caught by Sasuke.
"Wait a second..." He was still supporting me as I caught my footing. "Are you trying to say that... Sakura's pregnant?!" His cool facade seemed to crumble and he ran his hand through his hair.
I walked to my bed and sat down. He paced my room and eventually slammed his fist down onto the foldable table that had the chess board Shikamaru had gotten for me falling towards the floor. Some of the pieces cracked, and others shattered completely.
"Why her?" I heard him mutter under his breath and I shot out of bed slamming him against the wall by his collar.
"Do you realize how lucky you are?! I wish I was in your situation right now!"
"Naruto-"
"You don't deserve her!"
"Naruto-!"
Shut up-!" I started to cough and I fell down towards the ground, still clutching the fabric of Sasuke's T-shirt. I didn't cover my mouth in time, so the blood caked the floor making a decent sized puddle.
Some of the iron scented fluid dribbled down my chin and I attempted to wipe it away, succeeding to smear it all over my face.
My eyes filled with tears and some trailed down my face and mixed with my blood on the white tiled floor.
I glared up at him.
"You don't deserve her you... you BASTARD!" I coughed harder and threw up some blood. My heart lurched and I started ripping at the fabric of my hospital shirt. It burned and beat in an irregular way and I collapsed onto the tiled floor unconscious.
In the blackness, I could hear Sasuke yelling out to the nurses with a panicked voice, after that it was as if water had filled my ears. All the voices were distorted and indistinguishable.
When I opened my eyes again, my vision was blurred and my body felt numb. I couldn't move my head, but I could make of a blond haired women in green... with ginormous boobs...
Tsunade-baa-chan? What's she doing here? The last I remember, I was arguing with Sasuke, and then- oh...
I must have passed out.
I could also make out a women with brown hair and some... pink animal of some sorts in her possession.
That must by Shizune and Tonton...
How long have I been out?
"Tsunade-baa-chan?" My voice cracked noticeably. She turned quickly and rushed over to me.
"How are you feeling?" I smiled slightly and my lips felt dry and cracked.
"Thirsty, and numb." She lifted my head slightly and tipped the cup so I could drink some of the water.
"The medicine should wear off in a couple of hours, until then you won't be able to move. Honesty, I'm surprised your awake. Most people would be out for another day or two."
"It-" I licked my lips. "must be Kurama..." Speaking of that fox, where has he been?
Tsunade jotted something down on her clip board. "That makes sense, get some sleep." she gestured Shizune to follow her out of the room, and they closed the door behind herself.
Kurama... My eyes felt heavy and I closed them.
My eyes opened again to a dripping wet, dimly lit chamber. A few dozen meters ahead if me, a large bony fox rested.
"Kurama?" His normal thick, bright orange fur was falling out, and his rib cage was showing through his skin. His eye cracked open.
"Kit?" He tried to lift his head, but he was too weak.
"What happened?!" Kurama snorted and twitched one of his nine tails.
"To hell if I know..." I approached him and brushed my hands against his coarse fur. Up close, the bones and bald spots were more prominent. "This is pathetic... Me, the mighty Nine Tailed Fox, reduced to this pathetic state..." He chuckled.
"This isn't funny." He stopped chortling and sighed.
"I'm well aware, Kit." Kurama's ears perked up slightly. "It was nice seeing you, it's time to wake up it seems."
"Wait! I have a few more questions!" He just barked out a laugh and my vision blackened again.
My eyes opened and I discovered the close proximity of a pale-eyed female. Her face flushed and she backed up quickly.
"I-I wa-s just seeing if you were a-awake is all!" I nodded and put my arm over my eyes. The bright white light was giving me a headache...
"What brings you to the neighborhood Hinata-chan?" Her face turned a brighter shade of crimson and she turned away from me. "Do you have a fever or something?"
"N-no, I was just checking to s-see if your okay... I heard y-you passed out..." I gripped my blankets so tightly my knuckles turned white.
"Where is that Sasuke-teme?!" A scowl appeared on my face and I held my fist up. "I outta punch him!"
"Calm down, your not punching anyone anytime soon." Satou walked in with his usual bag of medication. I rolled my eyed and glared at the tubes sticking in my arm and the ones that were hooked to my heart.
"How long have I been out?"
"Only Four days, most patients are out for at least another week after they've had a heart attack."
I cocked my eyebrow.
"Heart attack?" I stared at my shaking hands.
"Naruto-kun?" I came out of my daze and focused on the Hyuga.
"Hmm?" Satou sighed and opened his bag.
"Time for your injections." I rolled my eyes.
"Oh joy!" He disinfected my shoulder and expertly inserted the needle that was filled with a light blue liquid.
"Go back to sleep, Naruto. You must be exhausted." I grumbled slightly, but I obeyed and laid back down onto the mattress.
