A/N A few people were wondering about whether or not Itachi will still be in the story. He will be, but I can’t really tell you when he’ll come back because I still have to work that out myself :P I mean – he could come back next chapter or five chapters later or whatever! But I promise that he shall return :D
“Look at those cuts…”
Sasuke looked down at the ground, trying to ignore the voices surrounding him.
“His entire left arm is completely scarred and scabbed over… His right arm isn’t much better…”
“Look at his eyes… They’re so angry…”
“I can feel something off about this one…”
“No wonder you brought him to us, Mrs. Uchiha…”
Sasuke glanced up at his mother. He felt completely numb as he and his crying-mother were surrounded by workers down at the Konoha Mental Institute.
“Please help my baby…”
Sasuke wasn’t sure why his mother was acting like she cared about him so much –if she cared, she wouldn’t be doing this to him!
“Mrs. Uchiha, we will do all we can. If you fill out these forms, we can arrange for Sasuke-kun to be institutionalised immediately…”
“Will you…?”
Sasuke was almost silent as he stood up and walked out of the office. He heard people calling his name, but he knew that his mother would let him be – he just wanted some alone time and attempt to register everything that had happened.
Sasuke didn’t pay attention to where he was going – he just went wherever his feet took him. He soon found himself outside, standing before the doors as he surveyed the street before him. It was a quiet one with lots of green gardens and trees decorating the mental hospital.
“Why does my mother hate me so much…?” Sasuke whispered to himself. He just didn’t understand what he had done wrong. “I… I thought that she would be on the one person in the world who would never hate me…”
Sasuke squeezed his eyes shut, trying to hold in the tears that were threatening to spill over.
“…I guess I was wrong… I guess I was just stupid to believe that there could be someone – just one person – out there who wouldn’t hate me… I’m such an idiot… No one could ever not hate me… Even… my own mother…”
Sasuke sat down on the ground, grabbing at his hair. He rested his face against his wrists, shaking as he tried to silence his sobs. Tears ran down pale cheeks as Sasuke cried.
It had been a long time since Sasuke had really cried. Before the night Mikoto had admitted she wanted Sasuke to get help, it had been a good five years since Sasuke had cried. And now, as he sat here in such turmoil, he couldn’t help but fear for his sanity- what was happening with him? Why was everything going wrong?
“I bet it’s all Itachi’s fault…” Sasuke whispered, wiping at his eyes. “Everything was fine until he made me try and kill him… I should – h-huh?!”
Sasuke jumped as something small and wet poked at the exposed skin on his knee. He looked down, finding a tiny white puppy with brown markings on its ears, poking at him with its nose.
“…” Sasuke glanced around. He didn’t see anyone else in sight. He picked the puppy up, looking at it closely. “…You’re cute… What’s your name, little guy?”
The puppy’s tail wagged and it let out a few excited yips. Sasuke couldn’t help but let a small smile creep up on his face.
“Where’s your owner? Oh – you’ve got a collar. Let me see.”
Sasuke grabbed the small tags that were hanging off of a red collar. He read that the dog’s name was Akamaru. Sasuke grinned and pulled the puppy to his chest, hugging it.
“Akamaru, huh? Whoever owns you must be a lucky person…”
Everything was silent for a few minutes more. Sasuke was just smiling down at the dog that he was holding, feeling a kind of happiness and comfort that he had not felt for so long. It all felt right until –
“Get the fuck away from my dog!”
Sasuke jumped in surprise. He instinctively clutched the small dog tighter to his chest, hard enough to emit a small yelp. His eyes welled up with tears at the sound. He refused to look up when rushed footsteps approached. He was knocked backwards onto the hard cement when something connected with his face.
“You sick fucking piece of shit!”
Sasuke knew that voice – it belonged to an enraged Kiba.
“How dare you try and kill my dog! I’ll kill you right now!”
Sasuke’s eyes snapped wide open at these words. He wasn’t going to let anyone try and kill him – especially not someone like Kiba. He got back to his feet and caught the fist that Kiba had thrown at him before kicking the Inuzuka’s legs out from under him.
Kiba fell onto the ground and Sasuke was quick to climb on top of him. He grabbed the brown-haired boy by the scruff of his shirt, raising him up a little as he landed punch after punch into Kiba’s face.
Sasuke was unaware of the hospital doors opening and a few workers ran out. They grabbed him around his middle, prying him away from the now-unconscious Kiba. Sasuke struggled and screamed as he fought to get away and continue pummelling Kiba, but that all stopped when a syringe pierced his skin and tiredness overwhelmed him.
Sasuke was carried back into the hospital and placed immediately in a strait-jacket. Mikoto was forced to say goodbye to her son. When he would wake up, he would find himself in a room with padded walls.
-XX-
Days had passed. Sasuke had been left in almost total isolation. The only people who had visited him were orderlies – and they only came once each day to check on him.
Sasuke couldn’t handle anything about his situation any longer. He felt like every piece of freedom he had ever had had just been stripped away from him – even the ones taken for granted, such as the freedom to even move his fucking arms.
Sasuke had never cried as much as he had since he awoke in this room. He rarely left the corner he had designated as his place to curl up and cry, and he hated it. It seemed that all he could do was cry anymore. Either that, or scream incoherently until someone arrived with the syringe that knocked him out.
When the door opened again while Sasuke had been crying and whimpering to himself, he was quick to turn his back to the door and bury his face in against the padded walls.
“Sasuke-kun…?”
Sasuke flinched as his name was spoken. He recognised the voice, but he wasn’t sure where.
“Sasuke-kun, are you alright? Your mother has been so worried about you…”
Sasuke couldn’t help but let a strangled laugh sound. His mother? Worried? She was the one who had put him in here!
“If she cared, she wouldn’t have done this to me…” Sasuke whispered. He turned to face the intruder with a red, tear-stained face. He was shocked to see that Iruka was standing in the doorway. “But she put me in here and left me all alone so that she could cry and spend time with Itachi…”
“No… Your mother loves you both very much, Sasuke-kun. You have to try and understand how hard this is for your mother.”
“What do you care?” Sasuke turned his back once again to Iruka. “I bet you’re the one who talked her into this. I know what you shrinks are like…”
Iruka sighed. “Sasuke-kun, I am going to be honest here – yes, I did suggest that your mother do this, but I didn’t talk her into it. I explained to her that the help you’re in need of is far too great for your mother – or even I – to give you alone. We’re only looking into your best interests, Sasuke-kun – which is why myself and Kakashi have decided to work as a team and try and help you.”
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at this. “…Kakashi from school…? He’s a shrink…?”
Iruka smiled and nodded. “Licensed Psychiatrist. I myself am only a Psychologist – that’s why I’ve asked him to help out.”
Sasuke groaned and grabbed his head. “Do you really think I’m that insane for two head-doctors to be working on me…?”
“Not at all, Sasuke-kun – but you are in need of medication. That’s where Kakashi comes in.”
Sasuke turned and glared at Iruka. “You dare try and pump me full of pills and I’ll slit your throat…”
“Relax, Sasuke-kun. Nobody is going to try and pump you full of anything. There’s only so much that can be done without medication.”
Sasuke’s eyes welled up with tears. He shook his head. “…Don’t… Stop making me feel like I’m crazy!”
“Sasuke-kun, you’re not crazy.” Iruka said gently. “You’re not crazy – you just need a bit of help. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, Sasuke-kun.”
Tears dripped down Sasuke’s cheeks. “…I… I don’t need help… Just… leave me alone!”
Iruka stepped further into the room. He approached Sasuke and sat down beside the boy. He reached out and stroked Sasuke’s hair in a comforting manner before deciding to pull the boy into a hug. He was glad that he had, because at this action, Sasuke allowed the floodgates to open.
Sasuke moved to bury his face in Iruka’s chest and cry harder than he could remember crying before.
“You’re not crazy, Sasuke-kun…” Iruka whispered. “You’re just ill and in need of help… It’s nothing to be ashamed of – I promise.”
Minutes flew by as Iruka held the Uchiha. Sasuke had eventually cried himself to sleep in his hold. He was reluctant to let go of the boy. When Kakashi had shown up – late as usual – Iruka refused to wake Sasuke and cause further distress for the boy.
“We’ll come back tomorrow.” Iruka whispered to Kakashi as he ever-so-carefully laid Sasuke back down onto the ground. “He’s still worked up about the hospital.”
Kakashi nodded. “Alright. I don’t know why you’re doing it, though – the kid’s a real psycho.”
Iruka turned and narrowed his eyes at the grey-haired man. “Kakashi, you of all people should know not to judge others on appearances and preconceptions… The whole reason I asked for the both of us to be the ones to help him was because he knows me somewhat and I think it would be best for me to be there with whoever is talking to him. If you’re going to be an ass about it, I’ll find someone else who cares.”
Kakashi sighed. “Fine… Let’s go.”
Iruka nodded. He took one last look at Sasuke before leaving with Sasuke. He could only hope that the boy could be helped.
A/N If anyone has any suggestions or request for this story, I’d love to hear them – I’m becoming a little stuck with progressing this fic. I almost could not write the start of it (took me two days just for the first chapter), and now the middle is being a bitch, grr!!! Impossible fics are impossible -.-
