The scenery flew by as Sasuke ran atop the branches. Everything flying by in a blur. Sasuke was finally returning home. Home, he wasn't even sure if he could call it that anymore, but he could hope. But you may ask, why? After all these years, what would make him return home? It wasn't because he wanted to live in Konoha, really he could care less. But really, he was returning home to his blond. He could picture the golden locks now, swaying in the light. Oh god how he had missed those spikes. It had been so long since he had seen his blond last and Sasuke was finally going to see him again. Suddenly, Sasuke arrived at Konoha's gates, not realizing he had lost track of time thinking of his so called blond. Sasuke had already calculated what would happen when he finally did find his blond. He would stare wide eyed at him, before tears of joy would run down his cheeks. Then Sasuke, being the oh so lovable seme, would hold his blond in his arms as he wept. But he was oh so wrong.

With a smirk, Sasuke snuck through Konoha's gate, making sure to be wary of the two jounin guarding in the front. Without much effort Sasuke managed to slip pass them as he flew into the shadows. Sasuke snikered in his head,

" Konoha sure has fallen'

Once Sasuke was sure the coast was clear he snuck towards the one place he was sure his blond would be. The one place the blond spent more time at then his own home.

At the ramen stand.

Sasuke made it there fairly quickly, remembering the way, and looked into the small bar. But, to his surprise, Naruto was no where to be found.

" Excuse me, um" Sasuke thought for a moment "Ayame?" Sasuke whispered, not wanting to draw attention. Ayame turned quickly smiling, but her smile soon faltered as she saw Sasuke's face.

" Uchiha." she said, her voice laced with venom. Sasuke internally flinched. What happened to the peachy, happy girl that he, barely, knew?

" Ayame, do you by chance, know where Naruto is?" The youngest Uchiha questioned, flicking his bangs out of his eyes, trying to seem uninterested. As soon as Sasuke asked, Ayame's face changed from one of disgust to pain, and sorrow.

" You don't know." It was more of a statement than a question. Sasuke looked at her dumbly. Knew what?

" I..." She paused, gripping the bowl she was cleaning in her hands so hard that her knuckles turned white. " If you really want to know you should go to Tsunade-sama." Ayame said finally before turning away to help another customer.

Sasuke stared at her retreating form for a moment, before taking her advise, and heading off to Tsunade's office full speed.

" Great, now im being sent on a wild goose chase." Sasuke grumbled to himself.

' but what she mean when she said "you don't know?"

Sasuke quickly, upon arrival, scaled the Hokage building to avoid the guards at the door. On his way up, he came across a white room. Sasuke looked in briefly. He immediatly noticed there was no color, everything was pure white. The walls, the shades, and even the bed spread was all white. Sasuke cringed slightly, being in a room like that could drive someone mentally insane. Quickly, remembered that he was currently scaling on the walls of Hokage, giving everyone a birds eye view of him. Sasuke quickly began to scale the wall again.

As soon as Sasuke looked away, he failed to notice the door to the white room open, revealing a mop of blond hair, as well as a set of pink.

Not much later, Sasuke looked through the window into the Hokage's office, and saw Tsunade sitting at her desk. From the look of her, Sasuke guessed, she hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time. Her eyes were blood shot, and she had large purple bags under her eyes. Tsunade reached for her bottle of sake and took a nice long chug, the sake slightly scalding her numb throat. The blond kuonchi suddenly heard the window open. Turning quickly, she gaped at what she saw. The famous Uchiha was back, standing right next to her as if he hadn't a care in the world, a smirk tugging at his pale lips.

And it made her mad, no furious. How dare he be so calm, so relaxed. Didn't he have any shame?! Especially after what he had done.

The black haired teen opened his mouth,about to say something, when he felt a hand on his throat, as Tsunade slammed him into the wall. Sasuke cringed as the hand tightened around his air pipe. Damn, he had underestimated her.

" You Bastard. How dare you have the nerve to come back." She growled into Sasuke's face. Her breath thick with the smell of sake.

You should rot in fucking hell after what you've done." Tsunade spoke quietly, every word dripping with venom. Sasuke had expected this, so he remained still, showing no fear as he answered her.

" And just what have I done." Sasuke couldn't help but wince, as the hand around his throat tightened.

" Don't fuck with me Uchiha." Tsunade spat.

" Don't you play damn innocent, after what you've done to him!" Sasuke grabbed Tsunade's wrist as he tried to loosen her grip, failing miserably.

" Him?" Sasuke coughed, struggling to get some air into his lungs.

Tsunade's eyes scrunched, as she glared at the struggling Uchiha.

" So your still going to act stubborn you little bastard!" Sasuke felt her pull him back, before slamming her back into the wall.

" I-I'm not here to – play games w-with you h-ag..." Sasuke gasped, as the hold on his throat tightened. " I-im here to get the dobe."

Tsunade, abruptly, released her grip, and glared at Sasuke with so much utter disgust, he flinched.

" So you really don't know do you." She whispered, not as angrily as before, but more in an exhausted tone.

Sasuke breathed in some much needed air, absent mindedly rubbing his neck, as he shook his head 'no. What was with everybody today, just what didn't he know

Tsunade sighed. " I'll bring you to him." she said turning towards the door. Sasuke followed, as she left the room and walked down the hall.

" Be prepared Uchiha, its not pretty. " Sasuke looked at her back confused, but quickly put his mask on, his face not portraying any emotion. After walking across the building. Tsunade stopped at a white door. Sasuke stared at the door.

' Why did it seem so familiar?'

Tsunade, sighing as she clasped the handle, and slowly opened the door, revealing the white room Sasuke had seen earlier. Sasuke briefly wondered what Naruto was doing in here. But was dragged from his thoughts as he caught a glimpse of blond hair. Sasuke's eyes widened a fraction at the sight of Naruto, on the bed looking out the window, unmoving. He looked angelic as the light from the window flowed into the room, making Naruto's blond hair glow and reflect against his now pale skin. Naruto wore a white hospital outfit, that blended into the walls. Sasuke vuegly wondered if Naruto had gotten hurt training, but lost his track of tought as he looked over the scene once more. It seemed so surreal, so breakable.

Suddenly, Sasuke smirked as he walked closer to Naruto. Ready for his fantasy to come true.

" Oi, dobe." Sasuke waited a moment, but there was only silence.

" Oi, Dobe!" He said this time a little louder. But still Naruto did not move as he continued to look out the small window. Sasuke growled as he grabbed Naruto's shoulder,

" OI DOBE!" Tsunade watched sadly as Naruto turned his head to fully face Sasuke. The uchiha gasped, his hands shaking lightly. Naruto's once bright blue eyes were now a dull gray. An empty void, showing nothing, as if there was nothing.

"Dobe?" Sasuke whispered. What had happened to Naruto? What happened to his innocent eyes? The eyes he had dreamed of.

Naruto watched Sasuke in slight wonder. This person was strange to him. Unlike the many others who he had scene. Naruto was mostly fascinated with this man's hair. It was an odd shape and stuck up in an odd fashion.

" Naruto?" Sasuke asked gently, Naruto made no move as he continued to look at Sasuke with his big dead eyes.

" Naruto? Naruto?" Sasuke began to panic. " Naruto?! Tsunade whats wrong with him!" The black haired teen said, an edge of hysteria in his voice, as turning to glare at the older women.

Tsunade sighed holding in tears she knew would fall any second now.

" Do you remember that battle you and Naruto had, when you had met up in the valley of the end for a second time." Sasuke nodded, remembering how at the last minute Naruto stopped his attack, and pulled back his hand, not wishing to hurt Sasuke to such an extent. Sasuke still remembered the regret and betrayal in those once blue porcelain eyes. Unfortunately at the time, Sasuke had locked up all of his emotions, to get revenge on his older brother, and showed no mercy as he slammed his new chidori through Naruto's stomach, sending Naruto flying back into the mountain. The black haired teen winced as her remembered all the blood, there had been so much blood.

" When you had hit him with your chidori, he got slammed into the mountain, correct?" Sasuke nodded again, his black bangs falling into his eyes, he didn't bother to move them.

" When his head impacted against the wall it caused severe brain damage." Tsunade hicupped as a few stray tears slid down her cheeks.

" What do you mean?" Sasuke asked, not ready for what came next. " What do you mean?! Tell me!"

" He's partially brain dead Sasuke." Sasuke froze, it couldn't be. This couldn't be real. This couldn't have happened, not to Naruto, not to his blond, his only friend, his love.

" Your lying." He whispered, it had to be a lie! It just had to!

" Sasuke im sorry, but he doesn't remember anything. He can function properly, though he can't walk, talk or eat on his own. He can't understand anything your saying. He has become unfit to be a ninja. He'll never be able to become Hokage." And with that Tsunade began to cry, clear tears streaking down her cheeks.

Sasuke couldn't breath, caught by the sudden lump in his throat. Naruto, the number one hyperactive knuckle headed ninja, his Naruto, his sunshine, his angel. Was gone. Naruto didn't know who he was. And it was all his fault.

Amidst everything Sasuke suddenly felt a hand weave through the hair on the back of his head. Turning slowly, as if in a trance, Sasuke came face to face with Naruto. The blond continued to weave his hand through the back of Sasuke's hair. Slowly Naruto's hand trailed from the back from his head, to his face. Naruto's hand was placed on Sasuke's cheek. His big eyes not showing any form of understanding.

Sasuke leaned into the warmth of Naruto's hand as tears began to slide down his cheeks.

Naruto watched in fascination. What was this strange thing in his hand, it was cool, and wet. Naruto went to pull his hand back, but was suddenly was pulled into the man's chest.. His arms were around him, holding him tightly. Naruto fell limp in Sasuke's arms. Not understanding what was going on.

Something warm trickled down the blond's neck, as Sasuke began to shake, his sobs shaking his entire frame. S

" Naruto! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Sasuke bawled into the crook of Naruto's neck. The blond remained impassive as Sasuke continued to slur out apologies.

"I'm so very sorry."

Tsunade watched as Sasuke cried, as he held Naruto. Tsunade felt a tinge of guilt. She had wanted to hurt Sasuke for what he had done. And now he was hurting, a pain beyond any physical pain. Tsunade had gotten her wish, but had it really been so wonderful to hurt Sasuke, to make him feel the pain, that has haunted her counsious. Tsunade at that moment felt as close to Sasuke as she'd ever felt, and immediately felt guilty for showing Naruto to Sasuke. She truly understood his pain, so now she supposed, she could call them even, for now.

The youngest Uchiha clutched Naruto, he couldn't believe he had done this. He had destroyed Naruto, his way of life, his dream.

" Oh fuck what have I done." Naruto just laid there unmoving as Sasuke held him. Waiting for the black haired man to release him. Slowly, turning his head slightly Naruto looked out the window.

The sky was dark, and little drops of water began to fall, making there way to the ground.

" So, sorry, I-i'm so sorry."

Sasuke cried, and cried, and the worst part was Naruto couldn't even understand him.
