Sasuke slowly opened his eyes to the white ceiling and the scent of disinfectant odor and a faint scent of dried paint that seem to fill the whole room. He didn't remember how he got here in the first place or why. It didn't make sense to him. His mind was completely blank. The little Uchiha slowly moved his eyes to the door as he saw the entrance being open to show a tall, gray haired, masked face male, covering his entire face except his left eye.
"Good morning. My name is , your doctor. Now how are you feeling..."
He took a moment to look at the clipboard that he held in his hand. "Sasuke?"
Sasuke only stared at him.
"Cat got your tongue?"
Sasuke continued to stare at him. Kakashi sighed and sat down at the end of the bed, next to Sasuke's legs, with the clipboard on his lap.
"Mind if I ask you some questions, Sasuke?"
Again, Sasuke only stared but Kakashi took this sign to ask anyway.
"If you like, you can just shake or nod your head since you don't want to talk." Kakashi propped up his clipboard and grabbed a pen from out his white pocket coat.
"Do you remember what happen last night?"
Last night? Sasuke lowered his head, making his bangs hide his eyes, unsure how to answer. After a moment of silence, he shook his head. Kakashi scribbled some info on the clipboard and turned back to the boy.
"What's last thing you remember?"
Sasuke bit his lip, trying to recall the last memory he had. "Playing in the woods."
"Do you remember who you were playing in the woods with?"
Sasuke shook his head.
Kakashi continued to ask him questions. While questions were being asked, Sasuke was beginning to get annoyed. He had a feeling that these questions were things he should know but didn't. A nurse came into a room with a wheelchair in her hand. She smiled at the Uchiha lying in bed. The nurse lifted Sasuke, with a blanket on top of him, and sat him on the wheelchair. Kakashi rose to his feet and handed his clipboard to the nurse.
"Where are we going?"
Kakashi took hold of the chair handles while the nurse held the door open. He rolled Sasuke out the room and into the hallway full of patients, doctors, and nurses. Some people in the in the hallway took a glance at the boy in the chair who appeared to have a look of sympathy on their faces. They knew something that he didn't know.
"A shame what happen to the little guy…" a nurse had whispered to another nurse, making it sound low for Sasuke not to hear. Kakashi rolled his eye. Sasuke asked his question again.
"My office."
"Why?"
"I want you to do a test."
Sasuke remained quiet, thinking when he was going to get out of this hospital. He never liked hospitals. People always died in hospitals and the smell wasn't pleasant. Worse place ever. He wanted to see his mom and dad. Where were they anyway?
"Sensei, where are my mom and dad?"
"I wonder that too."
Now at the office, Kakashi pushed the chair in front of his desk and walked around to the other side of the workspace, and sat down. The nurse placed the clipboard onto the desk and left the two.
"Let's get started."
Kakashi pulled out a writing utensil and a sheet of paper fill with questions and under those questions were multiple-choice answers that had to bubble in. Sasuke indicted he was done when he dropped his writing utensil. Kakashi took the paper and looked over the answers. Sasuke watched the gray haired man write down some info and looked up at the boy when he was done.
"Something is wrong with me right? That's why I'm here?"
"Nothing is wrong with you." Kakashi smiled at him.
"Then can I go home?"
"There's no one living at your house."
"Then… what should I do?"
"Would you like to live with me?"
Sasuke took a moment to ponder about this. He didn't know the man but then again, he didn't know anyone. Besides, he didn't seem like a bad person.
"…Ok."
