Author's Note; Like I mentioned before, I'm updating every other day so here's chapter 59! I hope I'm not putting too much time between the chapters now. It's kind of hard to write these short chapters after working for so long on My Life as a Roller Coaster with its long ass chapters and amazingness.
Now, enjoy and I'll have 60 up in two days ;)
Chapter 59
Naruto
My whole body hurt, and the last thing I remember was being hit in the head with something. Then everything became a blur after that.
I remember being beat up, then someone talking. My head was ringing too much for me to understand what was being said. Then I remember someone kicking me onto my stomach and pulling my …
No … I couldn't have been …
"Naruto, please wake up." I heard someone next to me say. But at the moment I cant recognize the voice and it was only making me panic. Because my eyes shot open and the next thing I'm finding myself sitting straight up and pushing away the person that was close to me.
"What … where in the hell am I?" I yelled. I couldn't see very well because my eyes were watery and crusted over.
"Naruto, you're in the hospital. And it's me, Gaara." The voice said again, and now I recognize that monotone voice that I practically wished I didn't yell at. "Sasuke, Itachi and your father are here also."
"What? Why am I here?" I found myself asking when I know I shouldn't have to.
"You were attacked at home remember? After you and Sasuke dropped me off at home." Gaara answered. Why wasn't Sasuke and the others talking?
"Where's everyone?" I asked, now that my vision was clear and I saw that he was the only one in the room with me.
"They're getting something to eat." He answered.
"How long have I been here?"
"Just a few days …"
"Why did it take me so long to wake up!?" I barked.
"You were hit in the head pretty hard. Tsunade didn't think you'd wake up at all." Gaara sighed, then his eyes went wide for a moment. "Shit, I'll be back. I was supposed to get a nurse when you woke up."
And with that, he shot up out of his chair and disappeared into the hallway. But he wasn't gone for very long when he came back with a nurse I remember, but at the moment I forget what her name is. But I do know that I know her, her blue hair isn't hard to miss.
"Naruto, we were so worried about you." She said. "And it looks like you ripped out an IV." She continued saying. Making me look down at my arms and sure enough, I'm bleeding. How did Gaara not notice it?
"Where's Gaara?" I asked as she cleaned up my arm and put the IV back in in another spot. It must be for pain relief.
"He's downstairs getting Tsunade and the others." She smiled.
"Don't be mad but … I can't remember your name."
"Oh, it's Matatabi."
"That's right!" I groaned, bringing a hand up to slap my forehead. And a second later I regretted it.
"Don't do that! You had to have part of your face reconstructed. And your nose broke too." Matatabi said a split second too late, but now I know not to do it again. No wonder my face felt itchy. And that my whole head hurts. "And you were hit on the back of your head pretty hard too so please lay back down."
I nodded slightly and laid back down. Feeling every bruise that whomever attacked me gave me, but laying back on my head made it hurt even more.
"It hurts." I whined.
"It will for a while, so you'll need to be careful okay?" Matatabi said, just as a bunch of rushed feet came into my room and now I'm staring at Dad, Tsunade, Sasuke, Itachi and Gaara. I kind of wish that others were here, but I'm okay with just these guys.
"Naruto!" Dad said first and rushed in to cling to me. I was actually shocked by this. I half expected him to not be here or to be this glad that I'm okay. "I'm so glad that you're okay!"
"He's been very worried about you, we all have." Tsunade said as she walked over and ripped Dad off of me so she could check me over. I still didn't like it when she checked me over, but I let her nonetheless … even if I did flinch a couple of times though I don't know why I flinched.
"Your vitals are much better than the last few days, and you're going to stay here a few more days until we know that head injury is a little more healed. I'm going to tell you now that you also got a few bruised ribs, one of them is cracked and your sight needs monitoring, because of how your face was broken." Tsunade noted, and I only half listened because I'm starting to feel tired again.
"How many days was I out again?" I asked, because I wasn't given a definite answer.
"About five days." Tsunade says, and I nod slowly in understanding.
"I can't believe I was out that long." I chuckled.
"It's understandable though. You had massive head trauma and reconstructive surgery to put your nose and forehead back together." Tsunade chimed.
"Would you like something to eat Naruto?" I heard Itachi ask, since Gaara and Sasuke seemed to have left the room and do what I don't know. But I'm half glad that they're gone. I also noticed that Matatabi left the room as well.
"I want something confirmed first …" I muttered, but I know they heard me because the tension in the whole room thickened.
"What would you like to know?" My Dad asked, making me think that the other two were scared to ask.
"Was I raped?" I asked, no fillers, no walking around the bush. I asked straight out because I just felt like I needed to know the truth.
"Naruto … he managed to penetrate you but Sasuke kicked him off before he could do too much damage." Itachi answered for the two adults who didn't look like they wanted to talk now. "I'm sorry that Sasuke and I couldn't do something quicker."
"Don't blame yourselves … it's no one's fault." I muttered, now focusing on staring at the ceiling and counting cracks. "May I be alone for a little while?"
"I would rather someone be in the room with you though." Tsunade said. "But I'm willing to let someone stay outside your room with the door open if that's sufficient enough."
"That'll do I guess." I sighed, wishing I could drape my arm over my eyes but due to it still healing, I can't. "One more question … who was it that attacked me?"
"It was Yaguro. He's now in police custody and unable to be released from jail. Has no bail and he's going to be put away for a very long time." Tsunade said, though I know she didn't want to talk about this anymore. "I'll let you have broth from Ichiraku but you should keep to a liquid diet until I'll let you up again alright?"
"Whatever." I sighed again, and they all took that as a sign to leave, thank God.
"I'll have one of the boys bring up your soup." Tsunade said before she left and now I'm alone.
Now I'm able to silently release my frustration, but all I do is cry. And I cry hard. I scream too, which makes me lucky that no one's walking in right now to see if anything's wrong. I know Tsunade's told the nurses down the hall that only Matatabi is allowed in and I know Dad and Itachi are probably out getting food.
So that leaves Sasuke and Gaara hearing my pain out in the hall along with everyone else.
And it hurts. It hurts so much that I just don't know what to do anymore. The pain feels like my heart is being ripped out of my chest and that someone is ripping my stomach apart. I want to throw up but I can't.
Before I know it, I'm feeling two sets of warmth wrap around me and instead of pushing it away like I wanted, I crumple into the warmth and let it stay. They don't say a word, but I know it's Gaara and Sasuke that are with me, but I'm glad that they don't say anything. Because if they did, I don't know what I'd do.
