Cancer Free - SasuNaru (Adopted)

Chapter 8

+Goodbye;

Naruto's POV

It's been almost 3 weeks since Sasuke left town. Nobody knows where he is, but of course, it turned out to be a huge scandal in the fangirl community. I started staying with Sakura in her apartment, and she insisted on taking Medical courses under the tutelage of Tsunade. Shizune- (Tsunade's first apprentice.) insisted on me working with a home counselor at least once a week, which is why I'm writing in this.

I wonder how Sasuke is doing?

I stare at the pages in front of me, faintly acknowledging the droplets of salty water that seem to sink more into the page every second.

Wiping the tears from my eyes, I gently bookmark and close the journal, before checking the time on the clock.

00:24

Great.

Now I've wasted my time writing in this crappy thing, I've no time to write in my novel, again.

I've not written anything in it since the whole Sasuke thing, so I suppose it's kind of a lost cause at this point.

I stand up, and push the chair back under the desk, before making my way over to the futon on the spare room. I don't particularly feel the movement, it's almost like I'm on auto-pilot. Meanwhile, my mind's going 100 mp/h.

I almost trip and fall on something, but seeing as I managed to hold my balance, I don't see why it matters. I sit down on the futon, and pick up the glass and medicine next to me that Sakura already has out for me. It doesn't do a lot, Just eases the pain when I breathe. After feeling the tablets slide down my throat cleanly, I lie down and start to get comfortable.

Sasuke's POV

It's been almost 3 weeks since I left town, and I've been staying with my brother- Itachi, which sounds a lot nicer than it actually is.

Somehow, he knows that Naruto was staying with me. How? I don't fucking know.

"Maybe you should go and check up on him." Ugh, another lecture. I swear he's more of a mother hen than Iruka sometimes.

Although I bet that Iruka wouldn't try to blackmail and threaten me every five                           minutes...

"Why should I? And what does it matter to you anyway?" I reply back, not even taking my eyes off the TV screen in front of me.

"His health doesn't matter to me, because I don't know him, but I do know that it matters to you, and that whatever happened between you two before you left, you regret."

Is this guy okay?

"What?"

"You know what I said little brother, or are too scared to see him?"

Itachi stood from where he was sat besides me, and started towards his bedroom.

Maybe I will go see him, but not because I care, but to prove Itachi wrong. Uchiha's do not get scared.

Naruto's POV

NARUTO!" I groaned as i heard my teammate screaming my name

"What do you want piggy?" Wait did I just- "S-S-Sakura don't kill me, please!" Her face began too darken and KI started spreading trough the room, before a small smile was placed on her face and not even seconds later, she jumped into my arms

"I'm so happy!" she started, hugging me while tears began too fall from her face.

Huh?

"Since Sasuke left....again.... you were down in the dumps and I didn't know what to do! You used to always smiling, cleaning everyone's mess but then you became sad. I didn't know what to do." her hug began to loosen and she put her forehead on mine.

"I just realised how important you are to everyone, to me. Thank you for always being there." she planted a soft kiss on my forehead.

Thank you, huh?
