::Chapter Six::

::Just For Now::

::Sasuke's POV::

I blinked once... a bright light burned my eyes. I blinked again, seeing the white ceiling above me. I turned my head to the side. Where was I? A hospital? Yeah... it looked like one. But... why the hell was I in a hospital? I looked to my other side and spotted a couple of chairs against the wall. One of them was occupied by a black-haired man. He appeared to be sleeping and I hated to disturb him, but I wanted to know why I was here.

"Excuse me? Are you awake over there?" I questioned with a weak voice.

The man looked up immediately "Sasuke?!" he exclaimed, getting up and walking over to me quickly.

I hadn't gotten a good look at his face until now. His raven black hair... his dark obsidian eyes... I knew him...

"Itachi... brother?..." I asked just to make sure.

He nodded, "Yes, I'm here Sasuke. Hinata called me a couple days ago and told me you were going through a hard time, so I decided to come see you. You have no idea.... We've been so worried! You've been in a dead sleep for three whole days! I-"

I turned away from him, "I hate you."

"What?" he paused and put his hand on my arm, "Sasuke?"

I felt tears well up in my eyes, "You choose now of all times to show up? I haven't seen you for three years Itachi... since mom and dad were murdered... why?... Why did you abandon me. I don't understand!" I tried to sit up, but fell back again.

"Sasuke, don't move. Your probably still weak from the blood transfer." Itachi told me, worriedly.

"Blood transfer?" I questioned.

Itachi sighed deeply "That's right. You don't remember what happened, do you?"

I shook my head in response.

"You cut yourself.... So badly that you could have killed yourself. You bled so much that you passed out and..." he pointed to my other arm. I looked at it. There was a bandage around it. "You needed stitches and a blood transfer. In fact, I was the one to give you the blood you needed."

I closed my eyes, "I don't care if I did die now. Anything would be better than living without him..." I said quietly.

A look of concern appeared on Itachi's face, "Who are you talking about?"

I turned away from him again, "Why would you care? You've never cared before..."

"Sasuke, don't be like this. Please, won't you forgive me?" he asked.

"You were never here for me and now you expect me to just trust you again?" I glared at him.

"I'm sorry... back then I just... I didn't know what to do in that kind of situation. It was so hard... I-" I cut him off again.

"And you think it wasn't hard for me?! What the hell were you thinking Itachi?!" I yelled, hearing my heart monitor speed up. "You left me for dead in that stupid academy! You could have cared less what happened to me! Because I was stuck in that hell I was beaten by someone who I thought loved me! Those two years were the WORST years of my entire life! It got so bad that I had to do everything I could to transfer schools! And!..." I paused, realizing something, "That's when I met Naruto..."

Itachi suddenly smiled, "I'm guessing Naruto is the boy you were referring to. He must be very important to you if you can't live a life without him."

I only nodded.

"By any chance..." I looked at him wondering what he was going to say, "Is his full name Uzumaki Naruto?" Itachi asked.

"How did you know that?" I asked curiously.

Itachi's smile grew, "Sasuke, we've known Naruto since we were young."

I starred blankly at my brother, nearly speechless, "W-what?"

"I know it may be hard to believe for you, but it's true. Me, you, and Hinata all met Naruto eight years ago... There was never a day when you and Naruto weren't together." Itachi laughed a little, "You even proposed to him once. It was the cutest thing. Hinata gave you the idea to steal mother's wedding band and give it to Naruto. You two promised each other that you would always stay together." he explained, "Tell me little brother... what is he to you after all this time?" I couldn't believe what he was telling me. It was so unbelievable...

"He's my boyfriend... I love him so much Itachi... I really do. But something went wrong and right now we're not together. It's making me go insane, and that's why I did this to myself." I replied lifting up my injured arm.

"Sasuke-san!" I heard Hinata's worried voice, and looked to the doorway as she came running into the room. She hugged me gently, "How are you feeling?"

"A little tired, but I'm fine." I reassured her.

Relief came over her, "I'm so glad you okay, Sasuke. We were so worried. Everyone came to visit you. Temari, Shika, Gaara, Sakura, even Karin..."

"What about Naru?" I asked.

She shook her head 'no', "I'm sorry Sasuke... he couldn't bear to see you like this... so he never came."

I sat there thinking for a short moment, "Hey, Hina..."

"Oh, yes? Is there something you want me to get for you?" she asked.

"No... I was just wondering... Do you remember Naruto from when we were younger?" I asked in return.

She glanced at Itachi before replying. He nodded at her and she looked back to me, "Y-yes... I've known who he was even since we met him at the school last year. But... I knew you wouldn't remember him. After what happened, you completely repressed your memories of him to make the pain go away. It was right after Makoto and Fugaku were killed three years ago, that you and Naruto ended up separated. Itachi decided to leave you and I and enroll us into the all boys and all girls academies. And that's where the whole Kai thing began..."

"So I forgot about Naruto in three years?..." I muttered, "It's no wonder when we met him last year in school that I felt like I knew him from somewhere... he was my childhood friend..."

Itachi coughed, "Don't you mean childhood fiance', little brother?"

I felt my face heat up, "Shut up, Itachi!"

"Oh come on, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. I thought it was cute." he said, "And I think it's amazing that you two are still together... even if you aren't exactly with each other right now..." Itachi smiled at me again, "Believe me Sasuke... he'll come back to you. I don't know what happened, but I know everything will turn out okay."

"I hope your right..." I said, sighing.

Suddenly another voice that I didn't recognize entered the room. "Itachi, how is your little brother?"

I glanced to the source of the voice and seen a man with long blonde hair halfway in a ponytail and blue eyes walking into the room.

"He's doing fine, Dei. Thankfully." Itachi replied.

The man stood next to Itachi, and put his arm around his waist, "That's good. Hmm..." he leaned down and looked me right in the eye, making me slightly uncomfortable, "Now that I can actually see him when he's awake....." he paused and studied my face.

"Errr... hi?" I said, inching away from him.

"Your absolutely adorable!! You look just like Itachi did when he was younger! So cuuuuuuuuute!" he exclaimed, pulling me into a death grip.

"Deidara! Your going to hurt him!" Itachi yelled, pulling him off of me.

Deidara clasped his hands together, "I couldn't help it! He just reminded me so much of you when you were that age! It really makes me miss the old you... you know, the nice, compassionate, loving you who actually had a sense of humor and everything."

"Whatever! I'm still like that. You just-"

"Um... excuse me?" I added in, trying to get their attention.

"Oh, I'm sorry Sasuke." Itachi apologized, "Allow me to introduce Deidara, my boyfriend."

I raised an eyebrow, "Your boyfriend?"

A big grin appeared on Deidara's face, "That's right! We've been together for about 2 years now!" he exclaimed, waving two of his fingers around in the air. This knucklehead kind of reminded me of Naruto in a way. With that silly smile of his. It was probably the blond hair and blue eyes as well.

"Alright... that's enough bouncing around, Dei... let's leave Sasuke to rest awhile longer." Itachi said, trying to calm Deidara down.

Deidara pouted, "Aww, okay... See you later, Sasuke-kun!" he bounded out of the room to wait for Itachi.

"We'll be back tomorrow to discharge you from the hospital. In the meantime Hinata is going to stay here with you for a while longer." Itachi explained, as he headed for his awaiting boyfriend. "Try to get some more rest okay?" he added, exciting the room.

Hinata smiled at me, "He really wants to make up for all that time he was away, you know. He loves you alot Sasuke..."

I sighed, "I know... It's just going to be hard to trust him completely again." I replied, turning over on my side.

It was weird... I suddenly had a brother again... But I wasn't too worried about that at the moment...

Just for now...I only wanted to see Naruto.


Kiko- I love Deidara. He's so entertaining. :D And I also love ItaDei much, so I had to put them together.
