'' Why! … Why did you leave me … all alone? '' Naruto screamed with sadness, laced in his voice.

Outside of Naruto's room a large group of students had gathered, among them Iruka, he had listened to the pained cries of the young man. Iruka's heart clenched at the pain inside those cries, he quickly walked back to his own room. Iruka entered his room and closed the door quickly he leaned against it and slowly let himself slide to the floor, he dropped his head on his knees and cried.

Kakashi looked up at his lover, something was wrong, Iruka only cried when absolutely necessary. Kakashi quickly stood up and walked to Iruka.

'' What's wrong? '' Kakashi asked concerned.

'' I … I screamed … like that when m-my p-parents … where murdered. '' Iruka said in between sobs.

Kakashi was relieved, at least he understood why, but now a new question arose.

'' Iruka, who is screaming? '' Kakashi asked.

'' N-Naruto is. '' Iruka mumbled.

'' Come, we'll go see him together. '' Kakashi said, holding out his hand for Iruka to take. Iruka took Kakashi's hand and then stood up.

Kakashi and Iruka walked to Naruto's room. They could hear his screaming, crying and throwing and they also saw the group of students.

'' Go away, this is none of your business. '' Kakashi said sternly. The students only looked at his, silently saying 'So. '

'' Go! '' Iruka said. The students turned to the panicked sensei and immediately scurried away. Kakashi looked at Iruka with a look that said: 'How do you do that?'

Then Kakashi knocked on the door. '' Naruto. '' He said, but he didn't receive an answer so Kakashi decided to knock again. '' Naruto. '' He said somewhat louder this time.

'' Go away! '' Naruto yelled.

'' Naruto open up, let us in. '' Kakashi said, his voice raised but still calm, unlike Iruka next to him, who was slowly breaking down.

'' Go away! It was my fault, I was meant to be alone! '' Naruto yelled.

Iruka and Kakashi heard him crying and mumbling as well as what seemed to be slamming something against the floor or wall.

'' Naruto … '' Iruka said softly, he sounded desperate.

'' Leave me alone. '' Naruto said.

'' Naruto, promise me, if you need something that you will come to us or call your grandparents. '' Kakashi said, but Naruto didn't answer.

'' Promise me Naruto! '' Kakashi yelled.

'' Go away! '' Naruto yelled in return.

'' Promise Naruto, then we'll go away. '' Kakashi said, it was silent for a while.

'' I promise, alright I promise. '' Naruto said sounding defeated, Kakashi sighed.

'' Thank you. '' Kakashi said and then left with Iruka by his side.

Several hours had passed before Kakashi had finally calmed Iruka. It was now almost 1 am and Iruka's cell phone rang. Iruka grudgingly got out of bed and walked to his bag and took out of his phone and answered it. Iruka frowned as his only response was heavy breathing, he found it weird, but then …

'' Naruto? … Naruto is that you? '' Iruka asked, but he didn't get a response only the heavy breathing. Iruka hung up and then quickly walked back to the bed.

'' Kakashi wake up. '' Iruka said as he jumped into his clothes.

'' Kakashi hurry up. '' Iruka said somewhat louder, now fully clothed and shaking Kakashi back to life.

Iruka heard Kakashi groan and silently complain about being woken up at 10 past 1 in the morning.

'' Hurry up, Naruto's in trouble. '' Iruka said urgently.

This made Kakashi jump out of bed and rush into his clothes. After he was dressed, partially, Iruka dragged him to Naruto's room while Kakashi put on his shirt. They tried to open the door, but it was locked and they didn't have the time to get a spare key, and they figured that Sasuke wasn't there or Naruto didn't have to call Iruka.

So Kakashi did the only thing he could think of at the moment, he broke down the door. They entered the room and looked around, the room was trashed except for Sasuke's stuff. Kakashi saw Naruto in front of his bed, shaking badly, he ran over to the blonde and picked him up, and sat down on the bed with Naruto in his lap.

'' Where is your medicine? '' Kakashi asked. Naruto tried to answer, but the shaking of his body and the heavy breathing made it impossible.

'' Use your sign language. '' Kakashi said. So Naruto did just that, only his signs where a bit shaky.

'' Iruka in his desk, top drawer. '' Kakashi said.

'' How much do you need? '' Kakashi asked, he waited until Naruto answered.

'' A whole syringe, Ruka. '' Kakashi said.

Iruka quickly filled a syringe and injected into Naruto's arm. They had a couple of minutes before Naruto would pass out.

'' Did you eat today? '' Iruka asked, he had noticed that Naruto's body had already been calming because of the medicine.

'' B-break … fast. '' Naruto replied.

'' Did you drink enough today? '' Kakashi asked. Naruto only shook his head, no.

Iruka walked to the kitchen and filled a glass with water and walked back to Naruto and Kakashi. Iruka tilted Naruto's head a bit and let Naruto sip from the water, a bit was spilled and Iruka couldn't help it but follow the drops to Naruto's hands, where he caught the sight of something red.

'' Oh Kami …What have you done? '' Iruka asked making Kakashi look as well to Naruto's hands.

Naruto's body had almost stopped shaking and his breathing was almost back to normal.

'' I-I'm s-s-sorry for m-my be-behavior today. '' Naruto said slowly.

'' I-it was i-inapro … priate. '' He said.

'' That is not important right now. '' Iruka said. Kakashi noticed that Naruto was trying really hard not to pass out on them.

'' Do you want us to stay? '' Kakashi asked.

Naruto nodded. '' P-please. '' He said.

'' Will you explain that when you wake up? '' Kakashi asked, nodding towards Naruto's hands.

'' I'll try … '' Naruto replied softly, his eyes slowly closing. Not long after he said that he passed out due to the medicine.

Iruka stood up and walked to the kitchen he grabbed some paper towels and made them wet, then he returned to Naruto and softly and gently cleaned the boy's hands.

Sasuke walked through the empty hallways of his school, it was almost 2 am. He automatically reached for his keys when he approached his dorm room, but once in front of his room he saw that someone had broken down his door. Sasuke entered his room in full alert, hoping that the thief had already gone and wasn't still there, but what his eyes found he feared worse.

Naruto lay unconscious in Kakashi's lap and Iruka was bandaging Naruto's hands. Their room was trashed, like a bomb had exploded … but only on Naruto's side.

'' What happened? '' Sasuke asked.

'' We … don't really know. All we know is that he had been crying this afternoon and that he just passed out from what we know the worst attack ever. '' Iruka replied.

Sasuke looked at Naruto's hands and then his face, he didn't look really peaceful, he looked rather sad, his eyebrows knitted together, his breathing still slightly labored.

After staring at Naruto for awhile Sasuke walked to his bed, where he noticed one of Naruto's sketchpads, the pages where all ruffled and it was open on a white page, suggesting it had been thrown on his bed. Sasuke carefully picked up the sketchpad and straightened the pages as he did he found a black and white coloring of a young man he didn't recognize, he also noticed that this young man looked a bit like Naruto, maybe they where brothers. After Sasuke was done staring at it he turned it around for the others to see.

'' Do you know him? '' Sasuke asked.

'' No, I don't. '' Iruka said, while Kakashi just shook his head.

'' Hn. '' Sasuke grunted and set the sketchpad on his night stand.

Kakashi gently gathered the blond in his arms some more to get a better grip on the boy, so he could stand up and then lay him back on his bed, but it only got Naruto to tighten his grip on Kakashi's shirt and mumble a few words. Kakashi leaned closer to the blonde so he could hear what he said.

'' … on't leave me… '' Naruto mumbled.

Iruka had been gathering Naruto's stuff and laid it all on his desk.

'' Did you say something? '' Iruka asked.

'' No, I didn't that was Naruto. '' Kakashi replied.

Iruka blinked a couple of times. '' What did he say? '' He asked, after he had gotten over his confusion.

'' On't leave me. '' Kakashi repeated Naruto's words.

Iruka looked at Naruto. '' He's scared that you'll leave, maybe you should just hold him and try to sleep like that. '' Iruka said softly a considering look on his face.

'' I was scared, terrified, but eventually I had you and Minato … my best friends. '' Iruka said. Sasuke looked up surprised.

'' Wait, Minato as in Minato-sama, Lord of Konoha. '' Sasuke said. Iruka turned to Sasuke and nodded, they were quiet for a while.

'' Iruka-sensei? '' Sasuke asked.

'' Yes. '' Iruka said, turning towards him once more.

'' You can sleep on the other half of my bed if you want. '' Sasuke said.

Iruka smiled and nodded. '' I would appreciate that. Thank you. '' He said as he walked to the foot end of Sasuke's bed and sat down. Sasuke and Kakashi turned out the lights on the night stands and then went to sleep.
