Summary: 'Empty. That's what I feel most of the time. Like there's no emotion inside of me. Some people call it depressed. I call it normal.' SasuNaru. Naruto becomes depressed with Kyuubi whispering false things in his mind. He thinks he's fooled everyone, but there's a certain someone who won't stop until he's found out what has happened to the blonde.
A/N: Sorry this is sooooo late guys! I got grounded for, like, a month! And then school started and it's been hectic. Also just my laziness to type this chapter up XP. Anyways, here's chapter 5 of Empty! This is in Sasuke's view and I hope you enjoy reading!
I pounded on the apartment door in front of me, cursing silently. I knew he was here! His music was blaring for Christ's sake! After a second of impatiently waiting, I tried opening the door. Locked. Firgures. Without a second thought, I broke the door down and charged in. I checked in the living room, kitchen, and bedroom. Only the bathroom left. I put my hand on the door handle and prayed to whatever God was up there that he wasn't doing anything embarrassing in there. I could only imagine his reaction if I walked in on him bathing.
Flinging the door open, I falter in my steps. He was leaning against the tub, seemingly alseep. But blood was everywhere. On the floor, on his skin, and on his clothes. I stood there while I attempted to make sense of the scene before me. He had killed himself. My heart seemed to shatter at the sight. Had he done this because of what I said? I hoped not. If I looked close enough, I could see his chest rising and falling slightly. My heart fluttered. He might still have a chance! I ran over to him and instantly grabbed his wrist to find his pulse. Once I did, I studied the gashes that weren't healing. Blood was trickling down from them still, leaving ugly trails that reminded me of his pain.
I picked him up and carried him to the hospital, jumping from roof to roof since it was the quickest way to get there. Shizune looked up from the file in her hands to see who had came in, a mixture of boredom and anger on her face. Papers flew everywhere when she saw the blonde in my arms. A hand flew to her mouth as her eyes bulged slightly with tears forming in her eyes. Then she regained her composure and led me to the nearest empty room as she yelled at the nurses. She called for help and told one of the trainees to go fetch Tsunade. I simply stood by in the corner as they crowded around the Kyuubi vessel. I couldn't help but feel guilty about this. 'No one would care.' That phrase plagued my thoughts. And the look on his lovely face once those words left my mouth broke my heart all over again.
Heavy footsteps could be heard coming this way from the hall. Obviously the Hokage, probably angry about being dragged away from her sake or her nap. The door burst open and I was right on the money. Her hair was a mess from just waking up and she held a cup of...something in her left hand while her right held the door open. "What is it now?!" She shouted angrily. Shizune looke dup at her with sad eyes. Once the busty woman saw who the patient was and how critical, she froze. One look at his wrist was enough to bring tears to her eyes. But she ignored them and moved to Naruto's side, downing the drink in one go. More medical talk that I didn't even bother trying to understand followed.
I stayed ther in the corner until only Tsunade and Shizune were left in the room. "May I ask a favor?" I asked, hesitantly. The Hokage looked at me with melancholy eyes and nodded numbly. "Don't tell Sakura. Please. Don't let her know about this." I almost begged. The two shared a look before Shizune nodded.
"We'll do out best to keep it from her." The assistant answered.
"But know this, Uchiha. If she finds out, the blame goes entirely to you." Tsunade spoke without looking at me.
"Fair enough." They started to leave. Then Tsunade stopped in the doorway.
"And Sasuke?" She asked. I looked at her, shocked. She had never used my first name before. She turned to look me in the eyes. "Thank you. For saving him." She said before leaving and shutting the door behind her. Once they were gone, I moved to the bedside and sat down. I stayed there until the next morning and I wasn't planning on moving until he woke up.
Shizune came in and asked some questions, wondering why Naruto would do such a thing. I gave her the best answers that I could. She looked at the blonde male and frowned. "We found blood on his boxers. It was too old to be from his wrist. Did he injure himself yesterday?" She asked. I shook my head, saying I didn't know. Her frown deepened. "I need you to leave the room for just a minute." She said, walking out of the door. I followed her and slid past a male as he went into the room. Closing the door behind him, I looked at the Hokage's assistant. "He's going to check him out." She explained.
That minute felt like an enternity as I waited outside Naruto's door. Then, finally, the man came out and led Shizune away. I slid back in and looked at the whiskered male. Some of his color was back and his wounds were healing fast. Kyuubi. Sometimes he was helpful. But my question was; why didn't Kyuuby heal him as soon as he started bleeding? That was another puzzle Naruto was going to answer.
A/N: Yay! Sasuke saved him! I bet all of you probably knew that was going to happen. I'm debating on whether or not Naruto should die. I don't know. I'm really torn in between the choices. If you guys would like to help me out, I'd love that.
Again, sorry this took forever! I really have been meaning to post it, but I've just been lazy.
Also, sorry about the spelling mistakes! I had to do this on WordPad and that thing sucks with spelling and all.
Thanks for all of the reviews and favorites/follows! I really appreciate it! I love reviews, they keep me going!
Lotus; The first chapter is almost done XD Sorry it's taking so long. There's just so much I want to do and don't know how to have it go! I'm working on it at school a lot, so it might be up this month or the next.
