"Cancer"
Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Nor do I own Sasuke in any way, shape or form. I do own, however my OC Miyuki.
It was almost mission time, but I couldn't help but worry about Sasuke instead of worrying about the task at hand. He just finished the scroll; but he was still staring down at it.
"Sasuke."
No answer.
"Sasuke.."
Still no answer.
Wait, he's starting to lean to the side a little bit. Uh-oh.
As he fell to one side, I was quick to catch him.
Drip, Drip.
Wait, what is this warm sensation I'm feeling? Turning him from his side, that warm feeling was blood dripping from his nose. I scrambled, picking up my sick companion while turning to the others.
"Guys, you're going to have to go without us! I need to get him to the Medical Corps stat!"
Disappearing with Sasuke in tow, I appeared in front of the doors to the hospital.
"Someone open the damn door! This is a freaking emergency!"
The nurse behind the desk quickly made her way, opening the door for me.
One look at Sasuke and she panicked.
"Get a wheel chair! We need to take him in quickly! Ma'am, you must stay behind. I'm sorry."
I watched as they took him away, rolling him as quick as they could down the hallways.
"I have to be with him! Let me be with my partner!"
Those sitting in the waiting room helped the nurse hold me back.
"SASUKE!"
I cried out; tears streaming down my face.
I fell to my knees, starting to sob.
"P-Please be okay... PLEASE!"
Hours passed, and the ticking clock was only overwhelming me more.
I fumbled around with my fingers as tears stained my face. He was worse than I thought. So much freaking worse! Who was I to let him slide?!
"DAMMIT!"
I slammed my hand on the chair beside me, shaking with anxiety.
I noticed a shadow draping over me. When I looked up, it was the nurse from before.
"Miss,"
She said.
"You are now able to see Sasuke. Please step this way."
I got up slowly with clenched fists, following the nurse. I was scared; so scared. What was I going to see when I stepped inside his room? Was he going to be hooked up to a bunch of machines? Would he be so sick that I couldn't bear to look at him? My thoughts raced until the nurse spoke once more.
"He's in this room right here."
She moved over, allowing me to pass through. I slowly approached his bed with a bit of hesitance. But, it was my turn to take care of him.
Sitting in the chair beside his bed, I hid my face in my hands, trying my best not to cry anymore. Shinobi are not supposed to show emotion. It was a basic rule.
"…hey." said a weak voice. Lifting my head slowly from my hands, his onyx eyes looked into mine.
"Sasuke," I sniffled. "H-How long have you been awake?"
I was ready to cry again—my lips quivering and my eyes watering.
"Long enough," He said.
Sitting up to the best of his ability, his hand reached my face as he wiped away my tears gently with his thumb.
"I told you this before, Miyuki. I don't like to see you cry…"
