Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Am I worth anything? ❯ precious ( Chapter 4 )

When they reached the hospital, Iruka headed straight for room 27, but Yoshiko stopped him and told him Naruto had been moved to an intensive care unit. Iruka let Yoshiko lead him to where Naruto was sweating all the while. Too white too white too white he thought to him self as he walked down the seemingly endless white passageway.

Tears streamed down his face as Iruka saw the blonde hair matted and sticky with sweat.

“He is running a fever and his heart rate is fluctuating.”

“do you think he will live?”

“its possible but it mostly depends on his will to live.”

Naruto weakly opened his eyes, “am I in heaven ?” he asked with a soft voice.

“no you are not in heaven you are in the Konoha hospital and boy are you lucky. We almost lost you.”

“naruto,” iruka said. “why did you think that we thought Sasuke was more important that you. You're important to us too.”

Naruto looked away with disbelief written all over his face. “yeah whatever.” Lifting his hand towards him, naruto fingered the stitched holding the two pale pieces of skin together. Iruka opened his mouth to say something, but Yoshiko shot him a look that said ` don't even try its not worth it”. Iruka headed towards the door “just so you know you are way more important to me than sasuke.” Yoshiko started to leave as well.

“by the way naruto, iruka was crying when I gave him that note you wrote. You are very precious to him, it would kill him to see you commit suicide” with that she left the room and naruto was alone.
