Saving You

Chapter 2: It's All Your Fault


He sighed and pulled his out his head phones, placing them in his ears and scanning through the songs on his Ipod, picked 'PlAy DeAd' by H.I.M. As he walked through the courtyard to the main building where the nurses office was, the drum beats pounded against his eardrums.

..a moth into a butterfly

and a lie into the sweetest truth,

i'm so afraid of life,

I try to call your name but i'm silenced

by the fear of dying in your heart-

As he pushed open the door that led into the nurse's office, he lifted his head and found himself staring into icy blue eyes that could only belong to one person, Naruto. Before he could react he was punched directly in the face, and sent flying. His ear phones fell out and he lost his grip on his Ipod, and watched horrified as it skidded across the floor. Time seemed to slow as his Ipod came safely to a stop, only to be crushed under the foot of the nurse who had just walked through the door, his nose buried in a book.

Sasuke froze, his hand still reaching out to catch his Ipod, his fingers quivering as blood dripped down off his nose onto the floor. With an eerie sounding growl, he whirled around and jumped to his feet in one quick move. He threw himself at Naruto who was staring down at the crushed Ipod with a smug expression on his face. It quickly disappeared when Sasuke collided with him, sending them both flying to the floor.

They were punching at any part of the other's body they could reach when all of a sudden they were lifted off the floor, hanging by their shirt collars/hoods.

"Will you two knock it off?! I'm trying to read here!"

They both froze and turned their heads to look at the nurse, who had a murderous expression on his face. At almost the exact same time they started shouting out excuses, pointing at each other.

"Enough!!" Silence echoed through the small room again, as both boys' quieted and looked down at the floor solemnly. "I've had enough of this! You both are going to the principal!"

Naruto spoke up, closely followed by Sasuke. "But what about my nose?" he asked.

"Yeah, I cracked my head open. I think that deserves to be looked at." Sasuke stated blandly, twisting around to stare at the nurse.

The nurse stared down at them for a moment before saying, "I don't care. I come into my office, and find you two rolling around on the floor, trying to re-enact the WWE Smack Down and now you expect me to care? Well, think again. The only person who you're gonna be talking to is Principal Arai. He'll figure out what to do with you two idiots."

With that said, he frog-marched them out the door and down the hallways to the front office. When they got to the office, he shoved them down in a couple of seats saying, "Don't move a muscle."

With that, he walked down the hall and knocked on the last door before pushing it open and disappearing inside. As the door shut behind him, the only sound that could be heard was the shallow, and clogged breathing of the two teens sitting in the chairs.

"This is all your fault." Naruto told him out of no where, slumping in his chair.

Sasuke looked over at him out of the corner of his eye, before replying quietly, "How?"

Naruto sighed and let his head fall backwards to thump against the wall. "It's your fault because you sat behind me today in the cafeteria, and spilled your-whatever the hell it was, onto my shirt."

That finally got Sasuke's attention and he slowly turned his head to look at Naruto, blinking as he did so.

"Say that again?" he said, giving Naruto his best glare. Unfortunately it was ruined by a sudden wave of dizziness that crashed over him, sending him reeling backwards against the wall. He clutched his head and fought back black dots that were suddenly all over his vision.

He jumped when felt a hand on his shoulder, making his head jerk up, bashing his hurt forehead against Naruto's, sending sprawling to the floor. Sasuke hastily got to his feet, ignoring a new wave of nausea, an extended a hand to help Naruto to his feet.

"Sorry, you startled me."

Naruto looked at him before nodding slowly. "Yeah, sure, okay….so….are you alright?" he asked, hesitantly.

Sasuke looked up from where he had slid down the wall to sit on the floor. This was the first for him, no one had ever cared whether or not he was alright. Even if he thought back as far as he was able and there was never anyone who cared. He stared at Naruto for a moment before looking down and fiddling with his sleeves while replying, "Yeah,….I-I'm fine."

But apparently this wasn't his day because as soon as the words passed his lips, a new wave of dizziness washed over him. He sighed and leaned back against the wall fully, resting his head on his knees, which were pulled up against his chest. He turned his head to the side when he heard Naruto slide down to sit next to him, and looked at him with eyes dulled with a hazy fog.

With a deep, heaving sigh Naruto copied Sasuke's position and asked, "No your not. What's really wrong, and don't lie to me."

With an emotionless scoff Sasuke turned away and started fiddling with his sleeves again. "Trust me, you don't want to know. And even if you did, " Sasuke added when Naruto opened his mouth to comment. "my problems are way more than your pretty, blonde head can comprehend." He told him, not unkindly.

Naruto opened his mouth to reply, but was unable to say anything because at that very moment, the door to the principal's office opened and out walked the principal saying, "Thanks again for bringing them in Kakashi. I really appreciate it."

Coming out behind him, Kakashi laughed and rubbed the back of his neck in modesty. " No need to thank me, the way they were going at it, it seemed this has been going on for some time."

Completely ignoring the two boy's staring at him, Kakashi walked over to the door and pushed it open. Before walking out he looked over his shoulder and said, "And if you ever need anything, Iruka, you know where to find me." With that said, he walked out the door, letting it swing shut behind him just as the bell rang, muffling the sounds that started to pour in from the hallway.

Both of them stared horrified at the door their nurse had just walked out before turning their creeped out gazes on their principal. They looked almost exactly the same, the same position, the wide-eyed expression at what just happened between their male principal and their male nurse, and the blood smeared faces. Naruto was the first to speak up.

"Wow, so…..you and Kakashi huh? Now that's something new."

Sasuke snorted in agreement, before burying his head in his arms once more as his ears started ringing. He was soooo not feeling good.

Iruka laughed softly, his face terrifyingly serious. "You two seem to be getting along better as well. Last time both you were in my office you were shouting obscenities at each other."

Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other for a moment before noticing how close Naruto had sat to Sasuke, which sent them both scrambling backwards. Sasuke sent a glare at Iruka that could kill and pushed himself up onto his feet, swaying slightly as he did so.

Naruto copied him and slouched against the wall, while asking, "So, what's our punishment this time?…Iruka." He smirked as he added that last part.

"Well Naruto since none of my other punishments have worked on you two, I've decided that I'm not gonna do anything. I'm gonna give you a choice and it's up to you whether or not you choose to take it." He paused to beam at them, obviously incredibly happy about his plan.

"Both of you are in danger of failing this grade and having to repeat it. I have a proposition for you, if you two can work together to finish it, I'll count it as enough credits for you to finish out this year and graduate with your….friends."

Sasuke finally sighed and rolled his eyes, "Will you please just get to the point already?"

"Yeah, stop twinkle-toeing around the subject. Tell us what this project is so we can leave. I have to get to football practice."

Iruka sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Fine…I want you two to do a report on how living with someone the complete opposite has changed you."

Naruto stared at him, his brow furrowed in confusion, while Sasuke understood at once, his eyes going wide with horror.

The principal smiled when he saw Sasuke's horrified gaze and said, "Remember this is completely optional. You don't have to do it."

"Do what? I don't get it. What do you mean, someone who's our complete opposite? You know I don't live with anyone like that."

Iruka's smile got even wider and he told Naruto, "You two are going to live together for the rest of the year, which, significantly, is about 2 months. At the end of those 2 months, I want both of you to write a report on how it will have changed you. If it's really good, your going to present it at the graduation ceremony, if you want to of course."

All Sasuke heard was them having to live together for two months, and his ears started ringing. He stumbled back, his back slamming into the wall, as a new wave of nausea and dizziness crashed over him. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up into Naruto's rather concerned face.

"Hey….are you alright?"

Sasuke gave him a quizzical look, wondering why he sounded so far away. He sighed softly as he was finally able to let the darkness overcome his vision. He slumped forwards, his head falling to rest on Naruto's shoulder, leaning heavily against him.

Right away, Naruto stiffened, and was about to shove him off of him when he noticed how shallow his breathing was. Making sure not to jostle Sasuke too much, he slowly lowered him to the ground, kneeling down next to him. He looked up when he felt someone's gaze on him, and met the thoughtful gaze of the principal.

"Um, don't you think you should be calling an ambulance or something?" He snapped, mostly just to hide how nervous he was.

"Oh, yes, right."

Iruka turned and walked briskly back to his office where he picked up the phone and called, 911. From the front of the office, Naruto could hear the strains of their principals' conversation, as he stared down at the face of his worst enemy.

As he looked down at Sasuke's bloody face, he started thinking. 'What's wrong with you? Is it some kind of illness or something? Or is it something to do with what Iruka-sensei said? Does the thought of me repulse you that much?' As he pondered, he realized that the red-head's face was crusted with dried blood. He reached to grab the water bottle he had placed on the side table when they were brought in. He looked around for a rag and spotting none, he sighed and poured some water onto the sleeve of his long-sleeve shirt that he was wearing under his jacket.

He gently started wiping the blood off his face, being careful of his bruises. He exhaled largely when he finished and was about to get up and see where that ambulance was when he noticed that Sasuke also had blood on his hands, from wiping them down his face.

He reached down and pulled his hands into his lap and set to work, cleaning them. He frowned when he noticed that the blood had trickled down his arms, under the sleeves of his hoodie. He sighed in defeat and started to push up the sleeves.

Naruto froze when he saw the scars criss-crossing over his forearms.


Naruto: why the hell am I being so nice? I thought I hated him?!

Twitch: because he's so cute… and you can't resist him! Mwahaha!

Naruto: Shut up! I do not!
