Chapter 14 of MSU

Sooo….. Hope you guys are enjoying it so far.

I apologize for the late review. I'm about to go into exams and I had to get this done before my next long absence.

Chapter 14

Another week blew pass. Naruto was two moths along.

The blonde really started to miss his friends. Of course, Sasuke's company was great and all, but it wasn't the same without everybody else. He was dying to spar with Lee, and visit Gaara. It was almost like he was becoming a stranger. Most of his days were spent alone. Daichi ran off all the time and Sasuke was almost never there. Feeling the desperation to socialize, he decides to visit his obaa –chan.

A few minutes later, he was regretting ever being born.

"It's not hard, actually, most of the ninja are already out on missions, if anyone comes to talk to me, just tell them I'm using the bathroom. Just read through them, and stamp the ones you think are important."

"But, I…"

"Naruto, this is the best thing you could have ever done, you look just like old Minato; so smart and handsome." Before the blonde could retort, she was gone.

He plopped in the chair around her table, and then took up the first paper from the pile. Most of them were missioning requests from far away villages. He didn't stamp them, but rather started to snoop through the draws. They consisted of Sake and a few strange ornaments.

He ignored them.

Hours passed. The Hokage didn't return. How long was she gonna be at the bathroom.

"I need a drink." He whined.

"Dobe, what are you doing here? I was just looking for you at home. Daichi was near tearing down the apartment in search for you."

"Teme." Was all his response.

"What's your problem?" Sasuke leaned against the desk.

"You guys are the problem. I'm always alone."

"So running away to the Hokage tower is so much better than lazing around?"

"Yes, it is! I will be Hokage, so I'm getting settled in the job."

"Have you even eaten since the old hag left you here?"

The blonde pouted, "She didn't leave me here."

"Oh, so is that why the gambling shop is full, and everyone's rooting for the legendary sucker." Sasuke smirked, "She's lost close to 30,000 ryo in the past hour."

"So what? I still like it better here."

"Stop being so stubborn. Where's Shizune?"

"She's supposed to be outside, buying time."

"Naruto, they all took advantage of you, not even ANBU are out there. The village is practically having a festival."

"But why would they…"

"Because we all know how much you want to be Hokage and they know you won't neglect your post, so they just left."

Naruto was furious. He sighed, "I see. He was more hurt the more he thought about it. They all used him. He sniffled a bit. Sasuke had a sweat drop moment.

"Gosh, I'm so stupid. I can't believe I made them use me like that."
"It's not your fault. Let's go home. I got you some more pickle juice."

About a week later, Sasuke was assigned to his first ANBU mission. The time period would last between three to five days.

He left early in the morning.

Naruto woke several hours later, he groaned at a slight throbbing in his head. He turned to his side, then clutched at his head.

"Kyu?" He called out.

"Daichi?"

When he had no response, the blonde crawled to the edge of the bed. He slowly stood up. Something felt wrong. He stumbled to the bathroom. He rested a hand over his eyes. He leaned against the door for a while. He felt extremely dizzy. Groaning, he slid to the floor.

Why did his entire body felt like it was being flushed? It reminded him of how he felt after an exhausting battle.

"Sas…uke…" he mumbled. His head felt like someone was using a needle and hammer to crack his skull.

He felt something on his face, it was oddly warm. Raising a hand to wipe at it, he saw mostly clear liquid.

"Kyu-"

Hinata was in the market place, she had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. She rubbed her stomach protectively. Quickly grabbing items for dinner, she began her journey back home.

"Hey, Hinata!" she turned swiftly to see the person who called out to her. It was Sakura. She sighed.

"Hello Sakura-"

"Have you seen Naruto?" The pinkette asked hastily.

"No." Hinata shook her head, "Is something wrong?"

"He was supposed to come for a check up three hours ago." Sakura shrugged. "Its ok, don't worry about it."

"Maybe he was training and lost track of time?"

"Yea, maybe." Sakura waved then , then ran away.

Hinata couldn't shake the feeling that something was indeed wrong.

Sakura was at the apartment once more. She banged on the door until she lost her patience and punched the door down. "Naruto, are you in here or what?" She yelled. Most of the village would have heard. She felt tears in her eyes.

She walked to his room. Empty. She walked to Sasuke's room. Empty. "Where are you?" It was getting dark outside. And she flipped on the light in the hall. Giving up, and sorry that she had broken down the door, she shook her head and made to leave. On her way out, she saw Kiba walking towards the door.

"Sakura? I heard from Hinata that you were looking for Naruto. He's in the house. I can smell him."

"Kiba." Sakura had tears streaming down her face. "Please find him."

The Inuzuka walked passed her and headed toward the bathroom. "Naruto? Open the door. I know you're in there."

He pushed it, but it was locked. "Sakura, I'm going to break it open."

He held the handle then pushed. Wen the door should have just fallen on the ground. It fell on a body.

"Oh Fuck."

Sakura pushed away the door. Then knelt next to the messy teen. He had mostly wet blood stains rushing from his nose. His mouth was barely open, and blood and vomit was on his cheeks and his bare chest. His skin was deathly pale, and cold.

She heaved him up.

"What the fuck…?" Sakura loked around at Kiba and he pointed to where the bonde had been sitting, slumped against the door. There was a lage pool of blood. And his underpants was still drenched from it.

"Kiba you should go."

"Like hell! I'm not leaving!"

"Then shut up." Sakura was shaking, despite trying to keep her composure.

In a matter of a seconds, she was in the Hospital with him, rushing with him to a private room.

The chakra bracelet on her arm glowed for a while, then Tsunade was next to her.

The woman didn't have time to yell as she laid eyes on the blonde. His blue eyes were still open, and they were as lifeless as if he were dead.

"Oh Kami."

When Sasuke retuned he was greeted by Sakura at the gates. "Follow me." She said professionally.

Sasuke took his ANBU mask off, then followed. She led him to the hospital. He remained silent. He knew it was Naruto. He knew something bad had happened.

"When they were walking to the room, Sakura gave him a mask. "Sasuke, don't freak out. And don't yell."

"Tell me what happened."

"Naruto almost died." She began, "To be honest, we thought he was. Kyubii saved his life. A series of things were happening to him at the same time. He hadn't been taking the vitamins. His blood pressure rose and he showed signs of anemia. He had a major nose bleed, and then he had a seizure. It was all very sudden. The seizure, it made him miscarry. His body came under so many attacks at once; It seems the Nine tails lost focus and Naruto's body expelled everything. He still doesn't believe us. And it's already been three days."

"Three days? This happened the day I left?"

"Yes. We, Kiba and I found him in the bathroom. He had been unconscious for hours before we showed up. It was almost too late."

Sasuke had a blank expression on his face.

"He won't eat, and he keeps calling out for you-"

The Uchiha walked in the room. And he saw Naruto lying on the bed. He was pale and had large purplish black bags under his eyes. His face was twisted in misery.

"Naruto." He called out.

The blonde stirred, then he began to cry. "Where is Sasuke!" he was restrained, Sasuke noticed. He had straps across his chest and thighs. "Sasuke! Why did you leave me?"

The said Uchiha approached the blond cautiously. He wasn't sure of what to do, so he just stood over him. Tears he didn't know were in his eyes fell on the blonde's face.

"Naruto, I'm right here." He said softly. "I came back for you. I'm here."

The blonde struggled weakly against the restraints. "Then let me out! I can't move." Naruto was yelling, his voice was hoarse and heavy with emotion.

Sasuke unbuckled the thick leather bonds. He gathered Naruto in his arms then hugged him.

"Will you please tell them I'm fine? I just want to go home, Sasuke."

"Shhh… I'm here. I won't leave you again."

Naruto hugged him feebly. Sasuke sat with him on the bed. "Did someone hurt you *Koibito?"

Naruto nodded. "They tied me up and wouldn't let me see you."

"Its ok. Don't worry. I'll buy you anything you want as soon as we leave, ok?"

"Will we tell Kiba?"

"You know that you miscarried, right?"

"Why is everybody saying that?"

"Its true. Didn't they explain it toy you?"

"I thought it was just a bad dream. But you wont lie to right?"

"No, I'll never lie to you. You had a seizure because of high blood pressure. It's nobody's fault. We'll get over it. I promise."

"But why didn't my baby stay? I thought my baby loved me."

"Of course it did. But it wasn't your fault."

"I feel empty now." The blonde turned his head away. "Empty and alone."

First, *Koibito means lover.
