Chapter 5 - Just Missed Tsunade!

Sasuke lay on a clean white bed in Room 42. They had just missed Tsunade, and even Kakashi, who really wasn't one
for complaining, was still griping and fuming about it. Naruto was pacing back and forth on the hospital's carpet. He
was wondering what they should do. For one thing, the only cure had just teleported to Kusagakure, which was a long
ways away, and they didn't know what to do to cure Sasuke. All of a sudden, Kakashi snapped. He was tired of
arguing pointless arguments, and no one was going to do anything at all. "I'll be back, Naruto," he said in a snappish
sort of voice.
"Why? Where are you going?"
"I've gotta go break or smash something. And I'll try to find a certain type of medicinal herb that might help Sasuke's
fever. I'll be back later. Oh, and Naruto, please don't leave the hospital while I'm out."
"Ok, Master. I'll see you later I guess."
And with that Kakashi hopped out the window. After a few minutes time, Naruto could hear the distant punching of
trees. Into the stillness, he said, "Looks like Master's finally cracked, huh, Sasuke?" He knew Sasuke wouldn't answer
him. But he was hoping Sasuke would. He was hoping he would open his eyes, and realize this was all a nightmare. But
it wasn't. He knew that well enough.

Sasuke was in one of his short awake periods, and this time he could actually somewhat recognize the blonde-haired
shinobi sitting next to his bed.
"N...Naruto?" he asked in a weak voice that was hardly his own.
"Huh?" Naruto jerked out of a trance. "Sasuke? You're awake?"
"Where am I?" the raven haired boy asked. He tried to sit up in bed, but Naruto gently pushed him back down.
"You're in the hospital, Sasuke. Don't try to move. It won't help your fever at all."
Sasuke was seeing double now. "Oh no," he moaned.
"What? What did you say?"
"Not again..."
"Not again? Not again what?"
"I don't want the darkness to come back again...Please, Naruto, keep me away from it..."
But it was way too late. Everything before Sasuke's eyes swirled in a blur of light and color. The last thing he felt was
Naruto's hands stroking his hair gently, then he blacked out.
