Sleep In Sunlight
SasuNaru
Chapter 5: Last Chance
Previously:::
"Because he was playing with candles and lit his room on fire. He ran downstairs without telling our parents what happened. The fire spread and they both were badly burned. They were taken to the hospital... Sasuke, in general, doesn't handle guilt well. He wanted to stay with them the entire time. They said they were alright and told him to come home with me. He got upset and said a few things that he regrets. They died that night. The fact that he couldn't apologize face to face really tears him up inside. Which is why he has difficulty being in hospitals, let alone someone who is… not well."
"Well why the hell did you send him to a place like this? He's probably going insane just being here!"
"I know. I thought it would help him. But… I think I was wrong. Which is why I'm going to take Sasuke out of this program and have the judge decide something else."
((Next Day...))
"No!" Naruto snapped, crossing his arms and pouting his lips in a childish manner. Shizune sighed. "Naruto, you have to see him."
"No I don't!"
"He's already here. He really wants to see you."
"Tell him I'm dead." The young blonde muttered.
"Don't say things like that." The petite nurse gathered the rest of Naruto's dirty clothes, threw them in the cart and headed for the door. "I'll send him back." She said quickly as she shut the door.
'Damn it...'
Naruto laid his head back and stared at the ceiling for what seemed like the millionth time he had done so since he had first went into the hospital.
FLASHBACK
"Naruto, I think it'd be best if you were to take residence in the hospital." A taller, older version of Naruto smiled.
The younger blonde sat in a wheelchair staring at the ground. "No." He muttered. Minato sighed lightly. "It would be better-"
"Better for you! I know! You don't want me because I'm sick." Naruto yelled.
"You're acting like a little kid, Naruto."
Naruto stayed silent still staring at the ground. "Fine." His father said. "Think what you want to think." With that he left.

"I'm not staying." The irritated blonde murmured. "If he wanted to see me, he wouldn't have left me here."
He leaped out of his bed and stumbled a little over to the door. He slowly opened it and stuck his head out to scan over his surroundings. After making sure there was no one out there who could get him in trouble, he walked down the hall to the elevator. As the doors shut he frowned at his reflection in the medal doors. He was wearing the white hospital gown with the little blue dots all over it. He hated it. Mainly because the back was only made up of three thin strings, which showed off his orange boxers.
The doors opened and he stepped out onto the sixth floor and made his way down the hall. When he got to his destination he stopped and listened to the faint 'beep... beep... beep...'
He slithered into the door and closed it behind him. His smile grew when he saw his best friend Kiba.
"Hey. You're not rolling in your chair." The brunette said as he flipped through a book he was reading.
"I didn't feel the need to." The blonde glanced over at the curtain that separated Kiba from the other side of the room. "How's Shikamaru?" The blonde asked. Kiba sighed closing his book and looking over at the same curtain. "He still hasn't woken up yet. I heard the doctor say they might take him off life support."
"Man, I remember when he used to be the one guy everyone wanted to hang with."
"Yeah," Kiba chuckled. "Always getting everyone in trouble... So who are you hiding from today? Your dad?"
"Yeah." Naruto took a seat next to Kiba on the bed.
"You should see him. You never know, it could be your last chance."
Blue eyes shifted down. "I know."
"You wanna play Xbox or something?"
"Yeah."

"What the fuck are you talking about! Why would you do that?"
"I think it would be better for you if you didn't have the fact that Naruto is dying hanging over you all the time." Itachi pleaded as he watched his younger brother fume trough the kitchen.
"It wont bother me!"
"I'm just afraid that if... he died... it might trouble you."
"Trouble me? What the fuck! It''s different!"
"It's goona be like-"
"It' is not going to be like Mom and Dad!" Sasuke yelled. "Why does everything go back to mom and dad?"
"Because thats how stuff works!"
"Not all the time!"
Sasuke grabbed his jacket and ran out of the house.
"Sasuke!"
