On the Precipice of Insanity [Yandere! Sasuke Uchiha x Reader]

Chapter Nine

The woman holds her head, the images appearing in front of her eyes. It's true what the blonde has just told her. Only her father would do something like that.

It wasn't a long lasting shock for the neurologist. She has to face such situations in her job, and as she saw her mother for the first time after years of hard studying, she just wasn't the same any more.

"Are you alright?" Naruto asks concerned as he supports the psychologist's movements and weight.

"I'm fine," she tells the adolescent sitting down on a chair. "I believe you." 

Cerulean eyes look at the woman with confusion. Naruto doesn't quite understand her. Over all those years it was always about her father and how she was being so determined to reach her goal; working at Konoha State.

[Name] seems to notice the irritation in the male sitting right next to her. She chuckles softly.

"No matter how hard I tried, I could never possibly hate her or even blame her for Dad's death. The only thing I wanted was to be sure; that gives me satisfaction." She explains as she plays with the blue pen in her hand. Her eyes focusing on the metal model of the pen, a small smile on her lips.

"What exactly happened to Leiko?" Naruto asks curious. His hands are folded together and he gazes into nowhere.

"I'm sorry, medical confidentiality," she tells the guy who looks gloomy at the ground.

"Seriously?" He questions.

"No, duh. She is schizophrenic. Catatonic schizophrenia, to be precise. At least that's what the papers say," she sighs knowing his next question.

"So she's not schizophrenic?"

"She is, but not at the time she entered the mental hospital." The neurologist says touching her lip, seeming deep in thought.

"What do you mean? Was there a false diagnosis?"

"Could be, but I am not sure. She definitely wasn't a catatonic type when I was a child. Somebody with catatonic schizophrenia wouldn't hurt a child, at least not the way she did. They are most likely immobile and won't talk or tend to repeat words. She also never had an obsession, if you let out Yasuo, and she also wasn't a hyper type either."

It all doesn't make sense. There is no sign or symptom of Leiko being catatonic when [name] was a child. The way she acts now, basically not moving at all, that's catatonic.

But it could also be the medicament she received that stop the dopamine receptors. . . 

"So Leiko wasn't schizophrenic as she was brought here?" Naruto asks to confirm what she has just said. 

"I . . . don't know. There is also another possibility, but I can't prove if it's right or not. It could be that she showed signs of schizophrenia, but if that's true what you told me about Dad's death-" She stops mid sentence over thinking her words.

It may sound completely silly, but it's the only thing beside a false or sabotaged diagnosis.

"From the way I remember her, I would suggest her having a histrionic personality disorder."

The blue eyes of Naruto widen at her words. He may not be a psychologist or neurologist, but he knew what the woman is talking about. After all, he saw that with his own eyes.

"Personality disorder!?"

[Name] nods her head, she chews on her lip.

"Leiko was always seeking attention, she couldn't take criticism, she made rash decisions and was acting over emotionally, mainly she was an aggressive drama queen."

That is correct. Her mother was just like she described, a very emotional woman who tends to be depressed and did never accepted criticism.

"But,-" Naruto starts staring at [name] "Why is she like that now?"

"That's what I try to figure out. I doubt there is anyone who would sabotage a diagnosis. Also, Senju himself, made several check-ups and tests with her. I think it was the shock."

"The shock?"

" Leiko was brought to Konoha State right after the car accident. She already was emotionally instable, watching the person you love die in front of you, that can lead to a rejection of communication." She says as she stands up. 

"I'm sorry, but I must inform Senju-sama about my suggestion." She says and walks away leaving the blonde alone in the complex of cells and test rooms.

He sighs and starts to walk in the other direction. Naruto's eyes looking ahead, blending out all the doors in. But all of a sudden he stops, his eyes never leaves the ground.

A chuckle is heard next to him and the sound of foot steps get louder as the dark shadow appears at the bars of his cell.

"You actually came, what a surprise," the husky and sarcastic sounding voice says. The Uzumaki male stays still.

"Be happy that I haven't told her." Naruto mutters.

The man in the cell smirks, his onyx eyes glistering with amusement. 

"Cute, Naruto. You are just too cute. I know you. You won't tell her, especially not because you are involved into this, too." He laughs his hand grabbing onto his face.

Naruto grits his teeth his fiat colliding with the wall. His knuckles white and the pressure so huge that blood runs down his fist and arm.

"I hope you will never leave this cell, Sasuke. You are truly helpless." Naruto says as he continues his way.

"We will see who is the insane one. You are already on the precipice of insanity, my only friend."
