Chapter Twenty one
After hearing the news both parents of Sasuke and Naruto dashed to the hospital. Naruto's friends were informed and Itachi took the day off from college classes. A flabbergast Itachi was the first to reach the front desk where a lady sat speaking casually on her cell.
"What room are Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke in?" He asked anxiously tapping on the counter. The lady peered up with a noticing bad, attitude.
"Hold on just a second" She placed her cell to her chest burning holes into Itachi's eyes.
"You can't find the waiting room no?" She smiled stupidly. "Well, take a couple of steps back and turn around"
It didn't take much for Itachi to explode and nearly jump over the counter to show this lady he wasn't up for games. But before he could even do that his mother yanked him behind her.
"Now you look here lady, Uchiha Sasuke is my son who I plan to see RIGHT NOW, so if you'd hang up your damn phone before I shove it down your throat and tell me what room Uzumaki and Uchiha are in!" She raged scaring the lady. She promptly hung the phone up and scanned a notebook.
"Uchiha Sasuke is in room 203 while Uzumaki Naruto…is in room 204" She glanced up. "Just so you know…Uzumaki is in a coma"
Mrs. Uzumaki covered her mouth to muffle her loud sobs. Her husband reached out for her but she was already running down the hall followed by everyone else. Mrs. Uchiha and Mr. Uchiha went to check on Sasuke first. He was asleep and would be up shortly. He had huge bruises on the skin revealed, a black eye and a busted lip. Then they headed over next door where Mrs. Uzumaki cried over Naruto's hospital bed. The doctor stood in front of the bed telling her when he'd awake.
"Maybe a couple of months, hopefully not a year" He sighed before escaping out of the sad, atmosphere of the room.
"God, Naruto" Garra sucked in another breath of air and let it out for the fifth time. He was feeling a bit heavy about this, and he couldn't breathe much because of all the breath taking sobs. Kiba hugged him in the corner and told him to breathe as he counted. Shino sat quietly in a chair, tapping his foot nervously. Itachi leaned his head against the wall watching the parents sob to each other and ask why. Mr. Uzumaki complained about how he should've just understood in the first place. Mrs. Uchiha regretted yelling at Sasuke about Sakura. The room door suddenly opened and in walked Sasuke, dressed in the hospital uniform. Mrs. Uchiha rushed to her son and hugged him tightly.
"You aren't suppose to be up, what-what if something bad happens, lets get you back in bed" She blocked his view from seeing Naruto. He stared down at her and grips both of her shoulders.
"I'm fine" He mumbled before gently as possible pushing her aside. Itachi and the rest stared at him. He wobbled his way over to Naruto's bed. The blonde's eyes were both closed, his skin was a bit pale and it looked as if he was dead. Sasuke's heart sunk and pained for him as he kneeled down beside Naruto's bedside.
"Hey you" He spoke a raspy voice grabbing Naruto's hand. He played with Naruto's fingers before pressing them against his face. It wasn't long before tears of his own streamed down his face. "Wake up dobe" He mumbled sobbing. "I'm sorry for hurting you..this much" He apologized as he father rested a hand on his shoulder.
"Go back and rest a bit" He spoke calmly. Sasuke shook his head no.
"I'm not leaving his side" He argued. And that came out to be true. Weeks passed and Sasuke was released out of the hospital while Naruto stayed there. Sasuke often skipped school and came to stay beside Naruto hoping he'd wake up. A month passed and hope was still tense as ever. While Naruto slept a lot of drama happened. Sasuke shared arguments with his family and even Sakura who was claimed by the doctor's 'NOT pregnant'. She had lied and regretted it. She was upset about Naruto's coma but this didn't stop her from trying to get Sasuke back. Sasuke didn't care about Sakura anymore and ignored her every time she came switching up to him. And with Itachi? Some days he didn't eat and others he'd walk alone on the beach until one day he came upon a familiar guy. Sasori.
"Look'a here" Sasori smiled burying his feet in the sand. "Thought I'd never see you again"
Itachi didn't respond. Instead he stood beside Sasori and gazed out towards the sunset.
"Sad as I first met you I see" Sasori frowned. "Something going wrong with blonde?"
"He's in a coma" Itachi instanty replied.
"He's in a coma eh, and you're worried about him, lucky him" Sasori muttered kicking up the sand. Itachi stood statue stiff and resisted not to cry. Sasori saw water forming up in Itachi's eyes and stood in front of him. Itachi glanced down. Sasori reached up cupping Itachi's face in his hands. He rubbed Itachi's eyes then pulled the raven haired down into a kiss. He pulled apart staring at a dumb founded Itachi. Sasori laughed a bit as he shed a tear.
"Now look what you've got me doing" Embarrassed he turned his back to Itachi and rubbed his eyes. Itachi grew this overwhelming urge to hug. He wanted to hug and to be hugged back. He wrapped his arms around Sasori and buried his face into his neck. Sasori stood stiff and then relaxed. They stood there for minutes, hugging. After that Itachi and Sasori grew close and became the best of friends. Itachi could at last take his mind off of Naruto for awhile…
Five months later (June)
The sun beamed down on Sasuke as he, Kiba, Shino and Garra walked to the hospital.
"God it's hot like shit" Kiba cursed wiping the sweat off of his forehead.
"Yeah it is" Garra agreed.
"Then walk up faster" Sasuke growled as his legs moved as fast as possible.
"Someone's got their period" Shino chuckled.
Sasuke glared at him from the corner of his eyes but then joined in on the laugh. He hadn't laughed in awhile. "It must be you cause I saw you last night buying pads"
"It was for my sister GOD!" Shino explained as Kiba and Garra laughed too. They all entered the hospital doors. Cool air blasted on their skin. It felt pleasurably good. Everyone sighed, relieved before walking towards Naruto's room. The door was wide open so they walked in staring around. Naruto's bed was empty and a nurse was changing the sheets. She stopped in her tracks and stared up at the four boys.
"Can I help you?" She asked dusting off her uniform. Sasuke stepped forward.
"Where's the blond boy who use to be in here" Sasuke demanded.
"He's gone somewhere" She simply answered picking up a pair of hospital clothes that were folded on the bed.
"G-gone?" Sasuke stammered.
"Yeah, he left a few minutes ago" She rephrased before guiding the boys out of the room. Sasuke stared at Kiba, Garra and Shino. They stared back sadly.
"I can't believe he died on us" Garra groaned leaning on Kiba weakly. Sasuke pounded an angry fist on the wall before sinking down to the floor.
"Damn you Naruto, fuck!" He cursed covering his face. "How could you be so selfish?"
"Selfish?" Naruto's voice answered. Sasuke believed Naruto's angel was answering back to him.
"Yes selfish! You go and die on me without saying goodbye!" Sasuke sobbed loudly.
"Sasuke" Naruto moaned dropping down beside him.
"Get out of my head Naruto! Go to heaven where you choose to be!" Fly away or something!" Sasuke pounded the sides of his head. Naruto grabbed Sasuke by the wrist causing him to stare up into the sapphire eyes once again. Kiba, Garra and Shino burst out into a hysterical laugh. They were happy Naruto was awake and remembered them but Sasuke was extremely sensitive. Obviously he cared deeply about the blond. Sasuke jumped back for a minute.
"You-You aren't dead?" He stammered. Naruto shook his head no and touched the raven's skin. His lips quivered and his body vibrated. He wrapped his arms around Sasuke and squeezed him tightly. He squeezed the life out Sasuke almost choking him.
"I hate you so much!" Naruto exclaimed. "I hate you so fucking much; I HOPE YOU DIE OLD AND LONELY"
Sasuke smiled widely in return hugging the blond back. "I'm glad you're alive too" He laughed. The blond was so much thinner then before. It felt awkward. Naruto ran his fingers through the raven's hair. It felt so good to be awake again and to feel this kind of body warmth.
"Guys we better get home to inform everyone" Kiba interrupted. Sasuke nodded standing up and helping Naruto up. They all walked towards Naruto's house. When they arrived the porch light was on. And so were all the lights. Sasuke knocked on the door twice before it was answered by Sakura. She stared at him then behind him. Garra. Kiba. Shino. Naruto. Her mouth dried and she brushed past Sasuke to jump into her brother's arms. She hugged him and told him how much she missed him.
"I-I missed you too" Naruto responded as they made their way into the house. The Uchiha's were in the kitchen with the Uzumaki's. Mr. Uzumaki and Mrs. Uzumaki burst into tears of joy as they embraced their son and daughter both. Then Mr. Uchiha and Mrs. Uchiha hugged Naruto. "So glad you didn't forget us" Mr. Uchiha grinned.
"This calls for a celebration" Mrs. Uzumaki and Mrs. Uchiha both said at the same time. "I'll make Naruto's favorite dish" Mrs. Uzumaki recalled her famous ramen. "Come help us in the kitchen Sakura" Mrs. Uzumaki commanded. Sakura gawked at Sasuke before disappearing into the kitchen.
"Oh goody, now we have the TV to ourselves" Mr. Uzumaki and Mr. Uchiha laughed flipping the food channel to sports.
"Mom! I brought him over like you asked!" Itachi's voice echoed through the house as he came in through the front door. Naruto turned his attention to Itachi as he walked in. His hair was past his neck but he still had the same eyes. Just like Sasuke's of course. His stare made Naruto's bones twitch. He slowly walked over to Naruto. Sasuke watched closely and hid a sign of jealously as Naruto too walked over to him. They stood before each other before grasping one another.
"Either you're alive or they cloned the real Naruto, either way I'm beyond happy" Itachi whispered making Naruto laugh. Although they had gone through a lot and Itachi still had feelings for Naruto they both put that behind them for just once second. Naruto noticed a beautiful boy looking at him dead in the eyes. Pure jealously. Mrs. Uchiha came into the room followed by Mrs. Uzumaki and Sakura. Itachi released Naruto and backed up beside Sasori.
"Guys this is Sasori" He introduced. Mrs. Uchiha dried her hands on a dish towel before examining the boy.
"So this is the legendary Sasori who Itachi just can't stop seeing eh?" She cracked a smile making Sasori blush.
"Mom stop it" Itachi groaned.
"I was only kidding"
"No she's not" Mr. Uchiha spoke keeping his eyes on the TV.
"Hush up will ya" Mrs. Uchiha swung the dish towel at her husband.
"Anyway, as you know that's my mom and dad, Mr. Uzumaki and Mrs. Uzumaki, that's Sakura, This is Sasuke my younger brother, this is Kiba, Garra and Shino"
"Nice to meet you all" Sasori slyly bowed.
"And this is Naruto" He pointed to the blond.
"Heard all about you" Sasori winked.
"Mom is something BURNING?" Sakura panicked.
"Oh shoot!" Mrs. Uzumaki rushed into the kitchen then came back up. "Who wants pizza?" She shrugged smiling.
"I do!" Garra punched in numbers on his cellphone dialing the nearest pizza place.
"Half cheese, half pepperoni!" Mr. Uchiha ordered.
Naruto grinned at how happy everyone was. Moments like this should last forever.
"Blonde" A voice whispered behind him. It was Sasori.
"Yeah?" Naruto turned facing him.
"Just so you know, I really like Itachi so please don't get in the way or you'll wish you never woke up from that coma" Sasori patted Naruto's shoulders before walking past him to go chat with Itachi…..
