Lizzy: Yo, peoples!
Suki: Hello and Welcome to the 5th chapter!
Hiroshi: Nice... god, Suki-chan, what has Lizzy-chan done?
Suki: Nothing. I was just welcoming them!
Jiro: Wow... this chapter came out fast.
Lizzy: Yeah, well I finished it fast. So... deal with it. :P
Taiki: Yeah, Jiro-chan who I've never met yet, deal with it!
Lizzy: Shut up, Tai-chan.
Suki: We're not going to talk as much as we usually do, are we...?
Lizzy: Nope. Sorry. I'm kinda tired and stuffs... plus, I want to get this chapter out ASAP.
Suki: Awwz...
Lizzy: Well, lets start. This chapter will only have one part to it.
Note: Alrighty then. Hmm... I like this chapter. Aren't you happy it came out a hell of a lot faster than the last one? I certainly am! But the next one will be tricky, so be patient! It might take... a very long time. It's going to be the first chapter of Sasuke's story. Hmm... this is weird... I'm halfway through with my story... I should celebrate!! I feel like I'm nearly finished with it, for some reason. o.O Oh well! Hope you like it!
P.S: I couldn't help but add a few parts that make it seem less serious than it starts off to be. o.O Sorry. But I think it's funny. -nods-
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. Deal with it.
Chapter 5: Switch to Sasuke
Recap:
"Alright, alright, calm down." Kakashi said calmly. "I'll switch you all back if you just shut up." immediately it grew silent. Kakashi sighed and undid the jutsu. Everyone immediately ran like crazy. Well, except for Naruto and Shikamaru. Shikamaru thought it was too troublesome, and Naruto needed to settle things with Kakashi.
"Kakashi-sensei." He said coldly.
"Yes, Naruto?"
"So... tell me... Why did you do that?"
"-shrug- I was bored." He said, grinning under his mask. "Now that you asked me a question, I get to ask you one. Why are you acting so... out of character?"
"I'm not." Naruto said, swiftly turning on his heals and stalking off. Kakashi sighed.
"Oh well." He said, and went home.
Recap over.
Naruto was on his way to check how Hinata was, when his thoughts burst their way through again, reminding him how alone he was.
"No. I'm not alone. I have plenty of friends." He told himself. (Through thought)
"Friends? Like who?"
"Well most of the people I was just with are my friends."
"Friends... are not the same. They didn't help you so long ago when everyone detested you, so why now?"
"Well... Now they understand, earlier their parents just controlled them.."
"Their parents... You have no parents."
"But I have friends. Plenty of friends."
"Friends aren't family. They might be your friends, but none of them will be there for you if you need them desperately. You still feel alone around them, if you've noticed?"
"I... noticed." But what Naruto didn't notice is that these thoughts were so painful that he had fainted quite a while back. He felt so alone that it hurt like hell inside. He couldn't take it anymore.
"Sasuke-chan..." Naruto muttered in the hospital bed, still fainted.
"Oh... Naruto-chan..." Sakura said, sitting in the seat next to the bed. "What happened?" She asked the sleeping ninja. Everyone else in the room was wondering the same thing. Everyone there was the whole group that was in the forest, Kakashi and Tsunade.
"He... should wake up soon. I don't know whats wrong with him. I checked, and there seems to be nothing at ALL wrong." Tsunade said, walking over to Naruto. "He wasn't even the least bit tired."
"Oh... Naruto-kun..." Hinata whispered. She was the one who had found him. He was fainted and twitching near a tree only a bit away from the Hyuga's place. She picked him up with only a little effort, and attempted to run to the hospital. She got there and they immediately took him and put him in a room. Tsunade herself came, because she was concerned for the boy. She had come back earlier that day.
"S... Sasuke..." Naruto breathed. No one knew what was going on in his head, they only knew that they wanted him to wake up. They were all worried sick about him.
"How can you live like this?" Naruto asked Sasuke. There was a hole in the glass wall, like an open window. Sasuke glared at Naruto.
"I can ask you the same thing! -hmph-" They still had the other's personality. "This... I'm going to die, Naruto-baka."
"Why would you die, dobe?"
"Orochimaru's gunna kill me! Take your personality back!! Please!!"
"I will. I can't... live with this pain. You much more used to it than me, I avoid it with my personality."
"Hmm...? What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked stupidly.
"Never mind." Naruto said, shaking his head.
"Lets switch, then."
"Sure."
They approached the glass wall and-- nothing happened.
"Uh... how did we do it last time?" Sasuke asked.
"Just by approaching it." Naruto said, then blinked in confusion. How come it hadn't worked?
"Hmm... Maybe... we... have... to... I donno..." Sasuke finished, confused.
"What was the point of you rambling on, if you had nothing to say, dobe?" Naruto asked in frustration.
"Well I was trying to think of something really quick!! Don't blame me, its YOUR personality." Sasuke said, crossing his arms across his chest.
"Hey... why'd you go to Orochimaru anyway?" Naruto asked.
"Well... You have my personality, right? What do you feel like?"
"I feel like my life is a living hell. Like I want to destroy whatever caused it to be so horrible." Naruto explained, winching in mental pain.
"Exactly. My Aniki, Itachi, is the one who caused my pain. I'm going to do whatever it takes to kill the bastard!" Sasuke said over enthusiastically.
"Hmm... Ok then..." Naruto replied dismissively. "So. Where are you?"
"Eh? Oh. Well I usually sleep after I train for a long time, so... I'm in my bed and stuff. What about you?"
"Uh, no clue. The last thing I remember is I was walking to Hinata's and thinking depressed thoughts that lodged them selfs into my head, then all the sudden... I fell asleep, or something. I don't know. I bet I'm still in front of Hinata-kun's house. Maybe I fainted from the mental pain...?" Naruto said thoughtfully.
"What? Were you saying something, Naruto?" Sasuke asked. Naruto sighed.
"No. But I can see why everyone got so annoyed by me a lot of the time..." He muttered.
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing. My personality is just... a bit annoying, ok? Now shut up so I can think more clearly!" Naruto commanded.
"Fine!" Sasuke said, crossing his arms on his chest and sitting on the floor in a huff. He glared off into space as he waited.
"Sasuke? Was it a living hell for you, or Orochimaru, the most??" Naruto finally asked. Sasuke looked up. After a bit, he shrugged.
"Him, I guess... I was the reason I was getting treated so badly. -sigh- hurry up and figure it out!!"
"Well, If you would help it would go along a lot faster!!"
"Naruto, I'm sure you can figure it out." Sasuke said dismissively. Naruto glared at him.
"Well, I have an Idea, but I'm not so sure if it's right..."
"Well? What is it?" Sasuke asked.
"I think... now that we understand ourselves a little better, thats why this window is here. So if we learn more and more about each other, maybe it will open all the way."
"Ooh!! I have an idea!!" Sasuke suddenly yelled. He jumped up and climbed through the hole, or "window".
"What the hell are you doing that for?" Naruto asked.
"Well, My thought was right, Naruto-baka. Now shut up. And I think your right." Sasuke said calmly, his regular voice back. (Meaning it wasn't all hyper and stuff, like Naruto's usually was.) "See? Even with your personality, I can be smart, Naruto." He said, causing Naruto to glare at him.
"Lets get this over with. We both know that if I just go over to your side while your on this side, and we both wake up, It wont fix anything. You'll just be in Konoha as me, and I'll be in Orochimaru's lair as you. And that wouldn't be a good thing. I've had enough of this switching game."
"Switching game? Whatever."
"I think we should tell each other what happened while we switched personalities. That might help a bit."
"Un, but I think the hole is there because of a different reason. You go first, Naruto-chan." Sasuke said.
"Alright." So Naruto told his story that we already know.
"Hinata? You finally realized that, and all it took was us to switch personalities." Sasuke said sarcastically, shaking his head. "Thats sad. I mean, with your personality I still know that Orochimaru is a pedophile freak, and that Kabuto is his bitch."
"If you knew that to begin with, why did you go with him?"
"Power. I have to kill Itachi. I have a special lock to my door, don't worry. I installed it as soon as they told me what room was mine. All I have to do is say a certain thing, put a hair sample down, put my finger print down, say a couple more things, then type in a certain thing that only I know. It's never been hacked at all. The alarm has gone off plenty of times, but no one has succeeded in breaking in my room."
"Ok then... That was just a bit too much information. What's the thing that only you know?"
"Eh, Well... I have this birthmark on my ankle that looks like the mangekyou sharengan, and I glare at it a lot and once I stabbed it with a kunai."
"Well that was stupid."
"Un..."
"Funny, though."
"Shut up. Plus, why else would I wear these bandages all the time?" Sasuke asked, tugging at the bandages.
"I thought it was because you thought it looked cool..." Naruto said, turning his head to look at the bandages.
"Whatever..."
"Damn it! Why aren't we switching yet?" Naruto asked extremely frustrated.
"Maybe you can't wake up yet, or something. You said you fainted, right?"
"I thought you weren't listening..." Naruto accused.
"I wasn't. I just caught that last part."
"Ah. Of course. Well, maybe that is it... maybe I have to be able to wake up for us to switch back..."
Meanwhile in the hospital they were all growing a bit impatient, so Tsunade checked over Naruto again.
"He seems to have a fever now... Sakura-"
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Sakura immediately got up and started trying to get Naruto's fever down. First thing she did was put a small, cold, folded up towel on Naruto's forehead.
They all watched anxiously as Sakura rushed around trying to help.
"Damn... it..." Naruto muttered. Tsunade sighed in frustration and annoyance. She had no clue why he wasn't waking up at all, with all the noise in the room. I know what you were thinking, that the room was quiet? Nope. Far from it. They were all talking about what could be wrong with Naruto, and were making a hell of a lot of noise by doing so. Tsunade wished they would all shut up.
"Excuse me...?" a quite voice from the door said, drawing everyone's attention. "Um... visiting hours are over, if you would please leave the room you can come back tomorrow." The nurse said. Everyone but Tsunade, Sakura and Hinata left the room. Hinata stared at Naruto for a while, wishing he would wake up. She glanced at Sakura and Tsunade and left. They understood this to mean she trusted them and hoped they could help her Naruto-kun.
"So, Sasuke... Are you going to tell me what happened?" Naruto finally asked.
"Huh?"
"You know... with my personality in Orochimaru's lair?" Naruto said, smirking. "You said it was funny."
"I said it was HORRIBLE! I nearly got killed, is what I said!!"
"Same thing." Naruto said shrugging.
"Fine. Ok, well... after we switched--"
