Chapter four
Tragedy Ruins Everything pt. 2
"Itachi-niichan! Are you home!?" Sasuke called out as he hurried through the door with an unconcious Naruto. (S/N I don't need his help!) (I/N Yes you do.) (S/N SHUT-UP ITACHI! NO ONE LIKES YOU!) (A/N & N/N We do...)(S/N Traitors.)
"Yes. What's... What happened to Naruto-kun!" Itachi said as he hurried towards Sasuke and took Naruto from Sasuke.
"He has a high fever..."Sasuke muttered sadly. Itachi looked at Sasuke for a moment.
"Tell me everything," Itachi said as he hurried towards Naruto and Sasuke's room, where he laid Naruto on his bed (A/N Naruto has his own bed like Sasuke. Just wanted you to know.) and laid a soaking cloth on his forehead. In the room, Sasuke told Itachi what had happened, from the fan club incident to the slamming door. The whole time Itachi had been listening, soaking Naruto's cloth in cold water once in a while. After Sasuke finished, Itachi stood still, deep in thought.
"Itachi-niichan?" Sasuke said. Itachi didn't answer and remained deep in thought. Sasuke was about to call him again when he heard some rustling from Naruto's bed. Both Itachi and Sasuke looked up to see Naruto sitting on his bed, sweating and slightly panting.
"Naruto!" Itachi said in surprise. He then stood and pushed Naruto gently back to bed. (S/N Grrrr.) "You shouldn't be sitting up."
"Itachi-san...Sasuke...where am I?" Naruto said weakly.
"Home," Sasuke said. Naruto looked at him with half lidded eyes and let out a soft 'oh.' Sasuke looked at Naruto worriedly.
"Get some rest Naruto-kun," Itachi said. Naruto nodded slowly before he coughed. Naruto looked at Sasuke and Itachi for one more moment before he closed his eyes. The next time Naruto opened his eyes, it was already dark. Naruto looked from side to side, but didn't see Sasuke or Itachi. Naruto sighed and sat up. His head throbbed in pain and he felt dizzy. He swung his feet over the side of the bed and sat there for a moment. Naruto then heard voices from down the hall where the kitchen was. Naruto slowly got out of bed. He winced when his bare feet touched the cold floor. Naruto stood up and swayed a bit. He quickly grabbed the edge of his desk to keep himself from falling. Naruto panted as he got even more dizzy and weak. He then slowly made his way towards the door, using anything for support. When he was at the door, he weakly grabbed the door knob and slowly started to open the door. Suddenly the door swung open by itself. Naruto fell to the ground from the sudden and quick movement and from fatigue. With his eyes half lidded, Naruto looked up weakly and saw Sasuke with a bowl in his hand and wearing a horror stricken face. Sasuke quickly and gently put the bowl on the floor and crouched by Naruto's side.
"Naruto!" Sasuke exclaimed as he helped Naruto into bed. "What did you think you were doing!? Getting out of bed in this condition! You could have gotten worse! Imagine if I hadn't found you out of bed right now!? You shouldn't do that Naruto!"
"I know, I know," Naruto said weakly. "But I wanted to get out of bed, Sasuke."
"Why would you do a stupid thing like that!?" Sasuke asked.
"I wanted to be by your side..." Naruto whispered, before he closed his eyes and fell asleep. Sasuke blushed at what just Naruto said. Sasuke watched Naruto's peaceful face before he grabbed the bowl and soaked a piece cloth in its water. He then put the cloth on Naruto's forehead, to bring down Naruto's fever. Sasuke sighed and quickly changed into his pajamas, then jumped into bed. Sasuke laid on his right side, facing Naruto. As he watched Naruto, he realized that the young blonde was smiling. Sasuke smiled as well, as his eye lids got heavier. Before the young Uchiha knew it, he fell into a deep sleep.

"Sasuke?" Naruto called out. Naruto was walking down a hall in the Uchiha's. The hall was really dark, so it had to be night time. Suddenly, Naruto heard running feet. He looked from side to side, but saw nothing. Naruto had a terrible feeling swelling up in his chest.
"S-Sasuk-ke!?" Naruto called out in high terrified voice. Naruto started to jog down the hall, looking around frantically as he did so. "S-Sasuke!?"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" (N/N Oh my.)
Naruto froze, his eyes widened in fear. He had only heard that terror striken scream once, and only once.
"Sasuke," Naruto whispered, as he started to run towards the source of the scream. "SASUKE!"
Naruto ran and ran, but he seemed to be getting no where. After what seemed like forever, Naruto finally made it to two doors. Naruto stood there for a moment, scared to go in and find what's inside. Naruto then heard a whimper come from inside the room.
"Sasuke!" Naruto said, grabbing both handles of the doors and swinging them open. Naruto looked around frantically and saw nothing but darkness. He heard another whimper from inside. "Sasuke?"
Naruto slowly entered the room. As soon as he did that, the doors behind him shut closed. Naruto gasped and turned around to see them closed.
"Naruto," came a soft voice. Naruto frozed for a moment, before turning to face the source of the voice. Right there in front of him on the ground and covered in sweat, was Sasuke.
"Sasuke!" Naruto cried in relief as he ran towards Sasuke, but before he could reach him, Naruto found himself unable to move. "Wha? What's going on?"
"Foolish demon," came a voice, that Naruto knew so well. Naruto looked around and saw a figure standing in the dark. Slowly the figure walked out of the dark, to reveal non other than, Uchiha Itachi. (I/N ... O/.\o) Naruto's eyes widened in shock and fear. The Itachi before him, wasn't the Itachi he came to know. No, this Itachi had blazing blood red eyes and had a dark aora surrounding him.
"I-Itachi-san!? What a-are you d-doing?" Naruto said a high voice. Itachi ignored the question and slowly walked towards Sasuke. He picked the young Uchiha by the collar and held him out in front of him.
"Don't hurt him!" Naruto shouted as he tried to move, but couldn't. Itachi looked at Naruto, his blood red eyes glowing menacingly in the dark. Itachi then reached out for his sword he had with him, and before Naruto could say anything, struck Sasuke in the chest.
"NOOOOOO!" Naruto shouted as Sasuke yelled in pain then became limp. (N/N NOOOOOOOOOO!) (S/N WTF!) (I/N... O/.\O) (A/N Shut-up! It ain't over yet!) Tears started to pour down Naruto's cheek, as Itachi pulled his sword out from Sasuke lifeless body and dropped him. Naruto then fell to his kness and cried into his hands. Suddenly, he was yanked from the floor by the collar and was brought up to Itachi's face until they were an inch apart. As tears streamed down, Naruto looked into the eyes he hated and feared so much.
"Good-bye Naruto-kun," Itachi as raised his sword. Naruto shut his eyes shut and let a scream.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Naruto! Wake up!" Sasuke yelled at the screaming blonde. Naruto's crystal clear eyes snapped open as he panted.He frantically looked around; he was in his room and in his bed. Naruto noticed that his face was wet from tears. (N/N Oh. Thank god.) (S/N Ditto.) (I/T ...) (A/N See! I told you!) "Naruto! Are you alright!?"
Naruto turned his head to see a pair of worried onyx eyes.
"Are you okay?" Sasuke said, putting a hand on Naruto's head comfortably. Naruto looked at him with his tear stained face.
"S-Sasuke," Naruto said as his lower lip began to tremble. Suddenly, Naruto threw himself into Sasuke's arms, causing Sasuke to slighlty stumble backwards, pulling Naruto out of bed. Naruto burried his face into Sasuke's chest as tears began to stream down again. "S-Sasuk-ke."
Sasuke was cut off gaurd and well, didn't know what to do. So he just stood there. After he was past the state of shock, Sasuke tried to comfort Naruto by stroking the blond's soft hair and hugging him back.
"It's okay Naruto. It was just a dream," Sasuke cooed. Naruto shook his head in Sasuke's chest, before looking up at Sasuke.
"S-Sasuke," Naruto said in a choked voice.
"Yes?" Sasuke replied.
"P-promise me...y-you'll n-n-never leave m-me," Naruto stuttered, tears still pouring down. Sasuke looked at Naruto with a surprised look. He then smiled warmly and wiped a tear away from Naruto's face.
"Promise," Sasuke said. Naruto smiled and hugged Sasuke a bit tighter. (A/N So...perttyful...) (S/N For the love of god! You created this with your own hands, and you're crying!?) (A/N An a-author could get e-emotional with their stories too!) Sasuke ruffled Naruto's hair. "You're lucky that Mother, Father, and niichan are heavy sleepers."
Naruto looked at Sasuke with his tear stained face, and smiled weakly. Sasuke suddenly brought his face closer to Naruto's until their foreheads touched. Naruto slightly blushed and was glad that Sasuke had his eyes closed.
"Hm, your fever went down a bit, that's good," Sasuke said , pulling away from Naruto. He then pointed at Naruto's bed and looked at Naruto with a stern look. "But not good enough to get out of bed."
"What are you, my mother?" Naruto said with a pout. Sasuke shook his head.
"No, your body gaurd. Now get into bed," Sasuke said. Naruto pouted once more before he climbed into bed. Exhaustion swept over him, as he felt his fever take on full affect. Sasuke smiled at Naruto, before heading towards the door. As he left, he said to the blonde, "I'll be right back. I need to get some more cold water."
Naruto stared at the door for a moment before staring up at the ceiling, breathing slowly. He closed his eyes and listened to the clock tick away.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Naruto's eyes snapped open. He quickly sat up and looked around with wide eyes. He took a deep breath before lieing back down and deciding that it was all in his head. Naruto continued to listen to thr clock. His eyes started to become droopy and heavy.
'Might as well take a nap,' Naruto thought, as he closed his eyes. (A/N The following things are quick flashbacks)
..."Foolish demon."...
...blood red eyes glowing menacingly in the dark...
...dark aora...
...Itachi pulled his sword out from Sasuke lifeless body...
..."Good-bye Naruto-kun."...
"NOOOOOO!" Naruto yelled, sitting up and covering his face with his hands. Tears started to stream down Naruto's face again. "No, no, no! I don't want that dream! I want to forget about it! I-I don't want to ever d-dream like th-that! I-Itachi-san w-will n-n-never do th-that to S-Sasu-k-ke ! He j-just c-can't!"
"Naruto I... Naruto what's wrong!?" Sasuke's voice rang out. Naruto drew away his hands from his face and looked at Sasuke; tears poured down even more.
"S-Sasuke...c-can d-dreams come t-true," Naruto choked out. Sasuke looked at Naruto in surprise, but his expression soon changed to a soft one. He went and sat next to Naruto on the bed. Sasuke put a hand on Naruto's head.
"What did you dream?" Sasuke said. Naruto shook his head. "I can't tell you if you don't tell me."
"I...I d-dreamt th-that...I-Itachi-san k-killed you, and-and was g-going to kill m-me too," Naruto muttered. Sasuke gave Naruto a surprised look.
"Naruto, I assure you...Itachi-niichan will never do that!
"I-I know, but...I'm still scared," little Naruto said. Sasuke smiled and patted Naruto's head.
"Don't be," Sasuke said. "Nothing well happen to you. Niichan never will harm anyone."
Naruto looked up at Sasuke and sniffed a few times. The blonde hugged Sasuke once more and silently fell asleep in the arms of the dark-haired boy. Sasuke stroked Naruto lightly, smiling at his friend.
"Itachi will never harm anyone, Naruto," Sasuke said, not knowing how wrong he is going to be.
