When Sasuke woke up he was in pain, this was nothing new to him but the sting of medicine was. He felt a blanket wrapped around him and his clothes had been removed and replaced with bandages and another shirt to cover him up. He tried pulling himself up but that only caused more pain so he just lay back down shutting his eyes, feeling tears rushing down his face the pain was so bad he coughed pitifully into his arm. He heard footsteps and then the door opening.

"Sasuke, how are you feeling?" It was Jugo. He had always been nice to Sasuke. Him and Suigestu had found him one day when he was about seven. The two wanted Sasuke to stay with them but Sasuke was to scared to really stay anywhere for to long a time. Jugo was 22 and Suigestu was 20 the two had been friends since they were kids.

He flinched when he felt Jugo laid his hand on his shoulder. "Sasuke please say something." His voice was pleading. Sasuke then felt the hand go to his forehead, it felt nice on his burning face. "Suigestu!" He shouted into the other room. A moment later Sasuke could hear more movement. "Yeah what's up?" "Can you get Sasuke some water he has a fever." "Yeah sure." Suigestu walked over to Sasuke feeling his forehead. He gently brushed the sweaty hair out of the boy's face; Sasuke made very little response.

Kakashi couldn't help but stare at the sleeping Uchiha; he had been secretly in love with him for years now. But Itachi could care less about that so why even bother. All he cared about was finding Sasuke. Kakashi knew the kid was either dead or a sex slave to some pedophile who probably picked him up off the street.

Itachi was curled up on the couch fast asleep; Kakashi stood up walking over to him and lifted him up gently carrying the older Uchiha to his room noting his weight was way too light for a 26 year old. He laid him on the bed and covered him with a blanket pulling it over to his shoulders. Kakashi looked around the room; it was so dull a bit of decorating wouldn't hurt. He smirked to himself thinking of the responses Itachi would come up with.

Sasuke glanced at the food placed on the small table beside the bed. "I'm not hungry." The boy muttered annoyed. "You need to eat Sasuke. It will keep up your strength and help you heal faster." Jugo tried to talk some sense into him. "You know I'll just leave when I'm better so it really doesn't matter." "Sasuke, were not joking this time Suigestu and I are taking you to the police if you don't cooperate with us." "Don't be stupid." Sasuke growled at the larger man. "I'm not maybe they'll find some of your family and you can live with them."

Sasuke pulled the covers off sliding his feet out of the bed and making his way across the room, but he tripped on some books laying on the floor and fell. "Sasuke!" Jugo was beside him immediately. "Leave me alone! I don't need your help!" Sasuke was pissed now. "Your knee is bleeding, let me help." "So what? Just another injury to add to the list." "Well maybe if you would stop taking those drugs, you wouldn't be so nasty. You're never like this unless you're going through withdraws." "Shut up!" Sasuke shouted standing up and managed to get to the door; he walked through a hall not really sure where he was going.

"Sasuke?" It was Suigestu. "What are you doing out of bed your hurt." "I'm leaving." "What? No you're not Sasuke. You're in no condition to be walking around." "I don't give a damn, I should just die there's not like I have anything to live for. "Don't say that Sasuke, if you were dead Jugo wouldn't be able to live with it. He treats you like his own little brother." "Don't say that! My brother is dead!" "Sasuke…you know what I mean." "Fine I'll stay, but I don't want you guys bothering me."
