Welcome to the fifth chapter and I didn't think I will be doing this now.
Anyway, things will start fast-forwarding in here… I hope you can appreciate some time skip.
I can't wait to start the College Days! XD Kyaaaa! I hope I will reach that in no time!

It's already thirty days since that day and Naruto hasn't show up before me even once. And yeah, Mother did invite Auntie for Christmas but it seems like Naruto didn't come with her. But I'm giving up thinking that… damn, maybe he's just a fat liar. I'm supposed to be focusing on our PE but my thoughts about Naruto are ruining my mental rhythms. I sigh and then something suddenly feels wrong.
A hand shoots to my mouth as I feel like puking everything out. My vision starts to blur and my head feels giddy all of a sudden. I stagger in my seat and Koyama seems to notice my actions. He asks in a whisper, "Sasuke-chan, what's wrong?" I ignore him and concentrate on controlling my mouth from suddenly throwing up.
"Sasuke-chan?" He makes it a little louder and my seatmates look at me… seeing probably a sick me. They chatter around and more of them begin asking about my condition. More seconds after, even the instructor notices the crowd. He makes his way to me and asks, "Uchiha-san, is there something wrong? Are you okay?"
I shake my head and try to gesture that if I speak… I might just puke. My body starts to feel bad and weak… my system wants me to throw something up and give it almost all energy I've got. I try to stand and the instructor and Koyama help me up. The whole class is intently watching me go… hand locked at my mouth and legs staggering without rhythm.
But the worst starts to come when my mouth can't hold it any longer. I start puking at the gymnasium floor and everyone starts chattering louder. The instructor calls a student to call the nurse to help them with me. I then feel so weak and I try to talk, "I… need to… talk to Mother…"
"Okay, Uchiha-san. I'll contact your mother as soon as we get at the Nurse Room." I nod at what my instructor has said. I suddenly fall to the side and I think Koyama caught me. They have tried calling me… but… I… can't—
NARUTO!

"Dear? Are you awake now?" I hear Mother speak as my eyes try to open. I listen further but only worried whispers follow. I open my eyes and see Mother and Auntie whispering away from me. My mother is in her work attire of red blouse and dark pencil-cut tight skirt and Auntie is wearing almost the same attire but with an orange-striped blouse and doctor's gown. I think I just got myself hospitalized. For puking too much?
"Dear! Oh God! What happened?" Mother then flings to me and sees my dark orbs are staring at her already. She coos at me, "Sasuke-chan! You're awake! How're you feeling, dear?" I shake my head and Auntie says, "I'm waiting for the results that the machine would be giving me. Just rest for now, Sasuke. Okay?"
"I… I want to see Naruto." I say without thinking about it and Mother looks at Auntie. She then answers as she strokes at my locks, "I'm sorry, Sasuke…" I then sigh and the two of them whimper their concerns and then I gaze out the building…
In two months, we will be graduating and things will be more complicated than usual. Mother has already discussed things about my incoming craziest college year and she's readying everything else just in case. This experiment is surely racking my mind and I can't simply ignore a certain feeling.
I want to see Naruto…
Hours have flown by and the two women has resumed back to their work. With my bed folded at an 11:15 angle, I gaze at the simple clock at the wall and it says 4:15… probably classes are already finished. I sigh and close my eyes for a moment… and then somebody opens the door, "Sasuke-chan?"
It is Koyama and I refuse to greet him and a number of friends he has in tow. He walks near and tries to see if I'm feeling fine or what, "The monitor seems to be telling me you're fine. What happened?" He sits at the chair beside the bed and the other classmates crowded at the side. He places his hand above mine and I pull my hand away, "Don't touch me."
"Sasuke-chan, you don't have to be so grouchy." He chuckles to himself and then says, "We came here to see if you're fine—"
"You've seen me. You can leave." My body starts feeling something yet again. This drug is making me puke after every now and then. I place another hand before me, covering my mouth, and stifle the feeling of nausea. Koyama starts to run his hand at my precious hair… but I have to focus on stifling the vomit rather than swatting his hand away. I keep my eyes closed and keep fighting the incoming disgusting effect of the drug.
The feeling of someone affectionately stroking at my locks comes to me… I remember how Naruto does it. The scene beneath the snow fall sky comes back and I seem to feel somewhat comfortable daydreaming about it. It feels relaxing and I know my lips are curling beneath my hand.
"Sasuke-chan!" A loud yell breaks apart my daydreaming and by then I feel a warm liquid damping my tummy downwards. I look down and see what I have been doing. I may not be doing a violent vomit but the liquid has been seeping out from my lips! I've done a mess at the sheets but I'm not in the mood to do anything about it. I just stare down it… until something not good comes after.
The liquid becomes red… redder than tomatoes. I blink and mostly everyone starts going a little hysterical about it. Blood is seeping from my mouth and all I do is stare. It doesn't hurt, though. And to be honest, I don't feel nauseous anymore, too. Koyama runs out and calls to a doctor he can find.
Is this another effect of the MPB drug? I clutch the blanket beneath my free hand as I frown at the blood at the sheets…
Naruto.

I'm supposed to be at the hospital right now but I have to escape and find Naruto ASAP. We're hiding behind a post and keep track of whoever passes out the gates. I asked Koyama to find him for me… lying that Naruto has owed me something that he needs to repay. And in just less than a day, he led me here at Konoha Northern High. And from this very corner, I yearn to see my blond.
My eyes then squint as they see a trio of blond, brown and pink hairs walking out the school. Koyama then whispers at me, "That blond man. He's Uzumaki Naruto, isn't he? He better repay what he owes you, princess." I glare at him for calling me with that lousy nick name. Then a friend of his points out, "Princess, they're walking out of sight!" We look and see the three them turn at the corner.
Naruto doesn't look like what he used to right then. His facial expression is different and no matter how I try to look at it… his eyes don't tell me it's the same Uzumaki Naruto I love. I frown and we follow them without raising suspicions and uproar… until a somewhat secluded alley lies before us.
The other two run pass them and stop them from walking any further. Naruto twitches and says, "Hey, what is this about?"
"Uzumaki Naruto!" Koyama starts and then I hide behind the corner… away from their sight. I bit my lip and do a deep breath… I need to tell Naruto this right now. I ball my fist and try to condition myself…
I have to…

"Hello, Sasuke. How are you feeling?" Auntie comes in and she catches me spacing out somehow. I then look at her, hearing what she has said but fail to make it sink in. She smiles and settles at the seat at the edge of the bed. She cups her hand at my cheek and asks me again, "I said how are you feeling?"
"Not good. And what was that blood dripping from my mouth?" I answer and she says, "Oh, that was uhh… a way the drug disposes of excess blood in your body. You see, it's creating an atmosphere for the baby and—"
"I'm really pregnant?" I cut her off and gape out. A month of lack of reaction seems to make me believe that this drug is stupid and unbelievable yet I still hope for it… but right now— my Cinderella shoes… it's… it's REAL! I place my hand at my mouth again. So I was thinking of the real thing! Wait I have to tell Naruto! I need to find him, I— I—
"Sasuke!" Auntie calls me and snaps before me, causing me to twitch and break free from my daydream. She gives me a pissed off smile and she says, "Sasuke, I always thought you never had anything from Fugaku. But I see, you love daydreaming as well." I cock my head to the side and then she chuckles, "But you do act uniquely cute. Now I wonder what kind of grandchild will I get!"
"Is this for real?" I murmur and look down at my tummy. So that's why Mother has already arranged things. She knew this drug won't fail. And based from things that Auntie has told me after… the drug is starting to ready my body for a some more conception and she estimates that the first three months will be the crucial point for side effects…

"And you must endure those." I gulp and listen to the people right there. Naruto speaks with a somewhat pissed off tone, "Seriously what do you need from me?" Koyama smirks and raises his hand as if asking for something, "We're here to take the payment from a debt you had."
"I don't have debts from anyone." He answers and Koyama seems to signal his boys for something. I step out from the corner and say, "Stop it. I just wanted to talk to him anyway." I then look at Naruto and stay in my so-called Ice Prince atmosphere. He widens his eyes and looks at the side. His friends look at him as well and I say, "Naruto—"
"We can't talk." He cuts me off and starts running away. I twitch and run after him, yelling once, "Oi!"
I chase him until we reach the free streets of the district and I follow him as he crosses the lanes. But my feet suddenly refuse to move and I start slowing down until I reach the middle of the lane. I feel like collapsing and I see him running away… away from me.
Why, Naruto? Why are you running away? Where are you going? I suddenly feel like my legs stagger and my body feels so heavy, too heavy for me to move. Then I hear a crazy beeping far away… a truck must be on its way to me. Damn, I can't move my body…
The nicest place to suffer from creeping hyperventilation…
He turns to me with anxiety and I see his eyes as if hesitant to look back… "Naru… to…"
—Naruto's POV
Fuck, dammit! What's Sasuke's doing in here? He's supposed to be— A loud beeping takes my attention and I manage to turn back to Sasuke… who is standing at the middle of the lane, staggering in his position. I twitch and see the approaching truck and he's not moving… his eyes looking as weak as he can be.
I'm not allowed to talk to Sasuke… I am not allowed to even see him. I didn't plan on ruining Mom's experiment… nor exposing Sasuke to more of its side effects. It'll be very dangerous to meet now. I don't want to run… but Sasuke, I have to! What are you doing? Run! Go back!

"Mom." I welcome my mom as she gets home that day. She's supposed to be home all day but Auntie has called her over. And I'm very sure she came to check on Sasuke. She waves her acknowledgement and I ask her, "Mom, how's Sasuke?" She turns to me as if how I know that's about Sasuke. She tries to make an excuse, "That's nothing—"
"Mom, I know you're just giving that kind of anxiousness ONLY to your experiments." I grumble and she comes near me, "I thought I have made it clear that you won't be meeting Sasuke again. You are not allowed to. Emotional instability is one of the factors I have to watch out for… so no, Naruto. Whatever happened is none of your concerns, okay?"
"Yeah, right." I sigh and walk to my room. But she calls me when I am on the stairs, "Naruto!" I look at her and she smiles, "Thank you for waiting for me."
"I just wanted to ask about Sasuke. It's not like I'm waiting for you." I walk off and I know she'll be standing there for some more moments. Then I see Dad walking down and says, "I heard your mom's voice. And you're not supposed to answer her that way. I can't imagine you—"
"Dad, Mom doesn't care anyway." I walk pass him, "Good night, Dad." I hear him calling me and Mom calling him. They seem to chat for a while. I then hide at the bathroom when they are now walking towards their room. Dad says, "I can't believe Sasuke would keep up with Naruto as he is."
"Don't be silly, Minato. I'm very sure he changes attitude like how Sasuke changes his. And his body is showing more and more effects of the drug. I wish Sasuke can keep up with those changes in his body." Dad chuckles aloud and says as if consoling her, "I know you're doing everything to take care of your volunteers. You can give them some good back-up… and they will always live on. Sasuke is just like Naruto…"
"But you see… emotional instability can make the drug destroy his body." She sighs loudly, "Unlike Naruto's case, Sasuke's body can malfunction any given time… and meeting Naruto can make my estimated 50% higher…"

I'm sorry, Sasuke. Just by seeing me, your body is reacting differently. I don't want to kill you! So please turn back now!
Sasuke motions to fall down and the truck will be running him over in a matter of seconds! Everyone comes to the scene and the leader of the guys yells, "Sasuke!" Sasuke finally collapses and the truck doesn't seem to have its brakes functioning well. I run back to where Sasuke is… not caring if we get hit…
To be honest… it's better that way.
"Naruto!" "Sasuke!"

I gaze at my fractured left shoulder and remember how I get to get it. I did manage to save Sasuke… but my stupid landing broke my shoulder. I then gaze at Sasuke who is sleeping at his hospital bed… away from danger as what my mother has said. I then change seats from the chair allotted to the edge of his bed to run my knuckles at the contours of his face, "You shouldn't have chased after me. Mom was right… our meetings will only lead you to danger. I'm so sorry… I have to break our little promise just to keep you safe…"
"Naruto." Mom calls from the door and walks in as I haven't bothered to acknowledge her greeting. She then places a hand at my shoulder and says, "Naruto, Sasuke will be fine. See what I mean about meeting you?" I just brood at my seat and finally ends it with a sigh, "I'm heading home…" I grasp at Sasuke's hand and give it a firm squeeze. I stand up but then something surprising happens…
His hand is weakly hanging on with mine and his eyes are open half-lidded, expressing weakness… much more weakness. He whispers but there's something that seems to amplify his soft voice, "Naruto… don't leave." Mom twitches loudly and I can't help but to sit down and run my fingers through his raven hair, "Hi, Sasuke."
"Naruto…" He chokes and— fuck, is that blood? I use my hand to wipe off drops of blood from his lips, "See what happens when we meet. I'm sorry…" Mom motions to get to that chair and sit down, observing the two of us. He chokes again and then he says, "Naruto… Naruto…"
"Sasuke…"
"Naruto, the drug is working…" he chokes again… "I'm… preg…" He blushes and his eyes blink in embarrassment. I look at Mom and then back to him, "I know…" I near my face to his and peck at his cheek, "But we can't stay together, okay?" He grabs my hand with all he can manage and he— Sasuke's… crying…
"It's the first… time I've… I've felt this so much anxiousness whenever I'm not with someone." Mom takes out a handkerchief and pats the corner of his eyes dry as I pull back from getting too near. She says, "Sasuke, stop it. The drug is reacting too much…"
"Kushina." Auntie opens the door and calls Mom to join her outside. She hesitates to come but Auntie tells Sasuke, "Sasuke, I know what you are trying to say and what you wanted to do. But let me make things clear…" Mom comes to her and she closes the door with a very motherly smile.
"Naruto…" He says yet again and he motions to get up. I stop him from doing so by holding down his shoulders gently. I press my lips against his and it does seem to me that the drug is making him overly weak. Now he has to stay longer in the hospital… just because he wanted to see me. He responds to my kiss and we start making out until our old women catch us kissing.
Mom clears her throat and Auntie claps as if going to announce something very good. She then squeals and coos at the both of us, "Kushina and I have reached a decision. And since this is an experiment and I know Sasuke's— practically Sasuke's dying wish if ever something bad happens— I am willing to take the risk!"
We stare at her and she makes an announcement I will never forget…
"I'll get the two of you… MARRIED!"
[End of Chapter 5]
O.O Hey! What did Mikoto just say? A marriage!
Mikoto: That's part of the script, young lady.
Of course it is, Mikoto-sama. Anyway, something very big is up… and it seems like surprises had been taking Sasuke 'by surprise' most of the time! And it happens almost consecutively!
What will be the young couple's reaction!
XD I'm really excited… and forgive me if the chapter sounded sloppy… and a failure.
