"Sakura! Sakura- please! Please- be home! Open the door!" Naruto pounded on her front door, tears flowing down his face.
He rested his forehead against the wall and gripped his arm in pain, trying to hold the bandages in place and minimize the bleeding.
The door swung open and Naruto immediately let himself in, practically collapsing on Sakura as he went in.
She held his arms, supporting him, and observed his state. Her face twisting into shock when she saw all the blood dripping off Naruto's body.
"N-Naruto! What the hell happened!?" She shrieked.
P-please just fucking help me before I die!" Naruto spat accidentally with the pain.
Sakura wanted nothing more than to beat him right then and there for talking to her like that but... Priorities... She lifted him up and carried him to the bathroom, ignoring his stifled squeals of pain.
She sat him down on the toilet and grabbed a med-kit from under the sink, gathering what she needed and tending Naruto's wound.
"Ah- fuck!- can't you be more gentle!?" He whined through gritted teeth.
"I'd be more concerned about how much you're bleeding! So shut up for a second!"
Sakura stitched his arm the best she could and bandaged it again, "God- so what did you do this time!?" She rolled her eyes.
"I didn't do anything! It was Sasuke!"
"Oh, of course, it's always Sasuke." Sarcasm laced her voice.
"It was! He freaked out for some reason and set my fucking arm on fire!"
"I'm taking you to the hospital-"
"No, I'll go alone! You need to get Kakashi and go check on Sasuke, he's at my place."
"Can you even walk?"
"Yeah! Kurama heals me fast, it's fine! Go!"
"Hmph." Sakura grunted and went to go get Kakashi.
-
She knocked on the door, Kakashi taking his time to answer it and she almost knocked again before he opened the door.
"Naruto's in the hospital, apparently Sasuke's lost his shit and we have to check on him. I don't really believe him-"
Kakashi's eyes widened, "Believe him Sakura, you don't know nearly as much as we do."
He moved past her and ran off toward Naruto's house, unsheathing a kunai just in case.
"Wait- Kakashi-sensei!"
He looked back to make sure she was still following, then ignored the rest of her calls and continued on.
He stopped abruptly at Naruto's door, pressing his ear against it before slowly walking in.
His eyes were drawn to the form sobbing on the floor, the stench of blood heavy in the air.
"Sasuke."
The raven curls up more and rolls over so he's not facing them, Kakashi noticing the blood-soaked floor boards beneath where he was. Actually, there was a trail of blood across the house, most likely Naruto's blood.
Kakashi approaches him and gently lifts him upright, Sasuke hiding his face in his shaking hands.
"Sasuke what happened?"
He opened his mouth to speak but all that came out was an agonizing, high-pitched, wail of giggerish that Sasuke soon stopped, realizing it wasn't helping his situation.
During this sobbing, Kakashi moved his hands from his face, Sasuke struggling against him but failing to do anything about it. Kakashi looked at his blood-soaked face and hair, how tightly he had clenched his eyes shut and how he tried so desperately to keep a straight face.
"Sakura, come here."
"What is-"
She gasped, seeing Sasuke's face, the fear and sadness, the blood and tears.
"His eyes are bleeding, you have to heal them." He demanded, Sakura nodded and did as told.
Kakashi moved, holding Sasuke in place so Sakura could do her thing.
Sasuke's heavy breathing fills the silence after Sakura heals him.
"Sasuke. Why did you try and kill Naruto?" Kakashi asked rather bluntly.
"I- No- Itachi, me... No, m-mom... T-he the sword and the- the- I- I- I..."
Sasuke's breathing got more ragged until he was lying back in Kakashi's arms hyperventilating.
Kakashi rubbed his head and laid down on the floor with Sasuke on top of him, practically clawing at his own skull as he mumbled to himself.
Sakura sat down infront of him, taking his hands in her own, "S-Sasuke? What's wrong with you, what's going on in your head?"
"I-Itach-i..."
"What about him?"
"He k-killed them- I saw it- he didn't c-care-" Sasuke clawed at his chest, gasping for air and silently wept.
Kakashi sat up and picked up Sasuke, carrying him to the couch and setting him down so he could talk with Sakura.
"I'm going to sum this up as quick as possible. Sasuke has something fucking with his head, he's started remembering his past and he's been having a lot of emotional outbursts because of it. What I'm guessing happened here, is that he remembered something that traumatized him previously and because of the sudden influx of emotions it caused him to lash out." Kakashi leaned against the wall and crossed his arms.
"No one thought to tell me this!? What's wrong with him!? Why isn't anyone fixing it!?"
"We can't, Tsunade tried for days to figure out what was going on but she couldn't do anything. We didn't tell you because you're not exactly Sasuke's favourite person in the world and in all reality no one was supposed to find out expect for me, Tsunade, and Naruto."
"What!?" She shrieked, "We're friends! He doesn't hate me or anything! Plus- I'm your teammate! I deserve to be told these things! I could have helped, I'm a medic nin too!"
"No, you couldn't Sakura. This is precisely why we didn't want to tell you, we knew you'd freak out. Go home."
"Wh- But Kakashi-sensei-"
He cut her off by putting a finger to his lips, shushing her and pointing to the door.
"If you'd prefer, you can go see Naruto in the hospital, but either way you're leaving, now. I'll deal with Sasuke, he'll be fine."
Sakura grumbled but complied, walking out of the house and slamming the door behind her.
