Chapter 2 finally! : D
(Rated M for a very sexy scene later on)
Ps; I don't own Naruto or anyother trademarked names that might apear in this story! ENJOY.
Nothing in Konoha had changed since Sasuke had lived there. Even the cracks in the cheap linoleum floor of the hospital's emergency room were the way they had been back then. The orange chairs, the only burst of colour in this whole place were still there, hard and unwelcoming as if telling people they weren't welcome after visiting hours. Sasuke had spent a lot of time in these chairs before he had left Konaha and he was disturbed at how easily he got used to them again. The singer tried to push memories of this place out of his head, although the visuals were strong. He looked up quickly when Kiba stepped into the hallway. The boy glanced at the singer resisting the urge to walk over and punch him. "Is he okay?" Sasuke asked, standing up. Although he towered over Kiba he felt small under the boy's hate filled glare.
"I wouldn't know would I? He's still unconscious." Kiba replied sarcastically, looking Sasuke over. It had been three years since he had seen the boy. His hair was almost the same but he had grown taller and managed to keep his slender figure. "You're not going in." Kiba added crossing his hands over his chest, hoping he looked menacing. It wasn't that Kiba didn't want Sasuke to see Naruto but he knew it was in everybody's best interest if Naruto didn't see Sasuke.
Sasuke looked at Kiba in disbelief. "I stopped the whole show to see if he's okay!" He protested, glaring at the boy. Sasuke had in fact stopped the show, much to his fans disappointment and his band's anger. Everyone had been confused when he had slid off the stage, fighting through his crowd of fans to help the blonde boy. Sasuke didn't really care that he had stopped the show. He was more concerned about the boy Kiba was keeping him from seeing.
"If it wasn't for your concert, this wouldn't have had happened in the first place!" Kiba retorted.
"It's not like I planned for this to happen! I didn't even know you knew of us or that you'd be coming!" Sasuke snapped back. He could tell Kiba was running out of comebacks already, Sasuke had made a good point. There was no way for him to know Naruto listened to them, no way to know Naruto would be at the concert tonight and he had stopped the show and sat with Naruto in the ambulance all the way here, who was Kiba to stand in his way now?
"Why did you even come back here?" Kiba asked slowly, knowing his words would cut right through the raven haired singer.
Sasuke stopped, surprised at how much that stung. He hadn't been home in three years and the band had never been to Konoha. They forced this on him, telling him they wanted to see where he had grown up. He hadn't liked it, practically begging them to choose another route for the tour but they had already made up their minds. "I don't know...." Sasuke replied after a few minutes of angry silence. Sitting down on the orange chair he had abandoned, the singer frowned looking up at Kiba seriously. "We both know I'm not leaving until I see him." He said slowly, making the statement sound final.
Kiba tried to think of something, anything to say but he was drawing blanks. He knew Sasuke would win this anyways; it seemed the singer always go what he wanted. "Fine." Kiba said calmly, turning away. "And when you destroy him...." He added pausing at the door to the stairwell. "You can run away and leave the pieces like you did three years ago." He mumbled just loud enough that Sasuke could hear, turning into the stairwell after deciding he needed a coffee and making his way to the all-hours cafeteria, where the coffee was old and the food tasted like what hospital food should taste like.
--------------
Sasuke looked around the hospital room, biting down on his lip. It looked like it did in his memories only there was no blood and instead of screaming and kicking Naruto looked like he was sleeping, which Sasuke thought he kind of was. There was a brace on Naruto's neck and a bandage on his head. The doctors had said there was nothing fatal about the injury but they'd put him in the emergency room just in case, it was a slow night anyways.
Taking a seat beside the bed Sasuke looked the boy over. He seemed to have matured over the three small years he had been gone and his hair was definitely longer but underneath that he still looked like the Naruto Sasuke had known, brilliant and full of crazy ideas. Sasuke smiled, although he was still wounded from Kiba's words and he reached out, running his fingers through the blonde hair resting on the pillow. "I'm so sorry Naruto..." The singer whispered looking around to make sure the room was empty.
When he looked back he could see Naruto, surrounded by doctors with needles and machines Sasuke couldn't name. The boy was screaming as if someone had set him on fire, there was blood everywhere. Sasuke could almost smell it like he was there again but when he opened his eyes Naruto was breathing lightly, perfectly fine except he was unconscious. Sasuke buried his face in his hands, shutting his eyes tightly as if he could make the memories disappear. "I'm so sorry." He repeated into his palms. "For everything..." He mumbled looking up at the blond as he stirred. Sasuke sat up, heart racing. He watched Naruto intently, running through all the possible things he could say if the blonde woke up.

When Naruto did wake up he was alone and looking around a brightly lit room, which wasn't his own. He was confused, groggy and his memory was a little hazy. He was starting to panic when he realized his whole body was heavy and it hurt to move his head too fast, he looked around the room seeing nothing but a blur of white. White walls and white sheets, everything except the pile of clothes next to the bed was white. "Good morning sunshine." Kiba grinned, leaning against the door frame. In his hands was a tray of food which he placed in front of the boy and sat down in the chair next to the bed. "Ew." Naruto said glancing down and immediately recognizing the tasteless glop as hospital food.
"Hey, that was the best looking stuff down there, don't bitch." Kiba laughed leaning back in the uncomfortable looking white chair. "Blegh." Naruto said sticking his tongue out. "How did I get here?" He asked stuffing a spoonful of unappealing goo in his mouth, it tasted like mashed cardboard, although he assumed it was supposed to be some sort of potato.
"Uhm, you fell at the concert." Kiba replied with a slight shrug, kicking his feet up onto Naruto's bed in attempt to get a little more comfortable, although that was practically impossible.
Naruto stayed quiet as his memories pieced themselves together slowly. "Oh! Yeah! The concert." Naruto laughed stuffing food his mouth, despite the bland taste. "Did you see the lead singer?!" Naruto added suddenly, sitting up further and nearly causing his food to fall from his lap. "Ooow." He moaned holding he head and resting it back on the bed to avoid further dizziness and pain.
Kiba had sat up as well, startled by Naruto's sudden movements. He relaxed laughing nervously. "You saw him then?" Kiba asked face falling slightly. He had hoped Naruto hadn't seen the raven haired boy at all. "Sasuke I mean...?" Kiba confirmed as Naruto went back to his food. After swallowing, Naruto looked over at Kiba, confused and as if he had no clue what his friend was talking about. "Who?"
