Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Ironic Love - A Tale of Forsaken Love ❯ A New Beginning ( Chapter 4 )

 

Sasuke was admitted out of the hospital. Itachi never came out of the coma yet. He was still out in his little dream world. Sasuke was out in the hall with Sakura, peering into the room where Itachi Uchiha was resting peacefully on the bed.

Sasuke: Itachi…

 

As Sasuke began to walk into the room, about 5 doctors rushed into the room. They seemed really nervous for what was going on. Sasuke was starting to worry about the expression of their face.

 

Sasuke: Wait. What's going on?

 

Doctor 1: He's going into a cardiac arrest.

 

Sasuke: What?

 

Doctor 1: He's going into a cardiac arrest. You know, heart attack?

 

Sasuke: No, it can't be.

 

Doctor 2: Sir, were going to have to ask you to leave.

 

Sasuke: But I can't—

 

Doctor 2: Sir, if you do not leave, we will call the nurse. This person needs to be stabilized.

 

The doctor forced him out the door and shut it in his face. Sakura was right behind Sasuke, Sakura held Sasuke's hands trying to comfort him.

Sakura: Sasuke it will be alright.

 

Sasuke: A heart attack isn't really good.

 

Kakashi and Naruto walked in the hospital door, and went into the hall where Sakura and Sasuke was. Naruto saw the frown on Sasuke's face. Knowing something was up. And it wasn't good. Naruto walked fast down to hall to meet Point B. Kakashi just raised a brow, and wondered what was all of this about. He walked slowly and calmly down the hall towards his team.

 

Naruto: Sasuke.. are you alright? What is the frown all about?

 

Sasuke: Itachi is in a coma.

 

Naruto: I'm sorry Sasuke.

 

Kakashi: Sasuke, why are you out here?

 

Sasuke: We got kicked out of the room. You see... Itachi had a heart attack.

 

Kakashi: A heart attack you say…?

 

Sasuke nodded; his face down on his shoes.

 

Kakashi: Sasuke.. He'll be okay. It's nothing major. The room seems pretty quiet in there. Usually that is good.

 

Sasuke: I guess so.

 

Sasuke didn't feel and comfort at all from what anyone said. He felt a deep feeling of death. Abundant around the hospital. He had a feeling that things were going to get nasty.

 

Kakashi: Sasuke - -

 

When he was going to talk more, the door slowly opened, the doctor had a look of contentment. Things were better now. The doctor looked down at the list of names, looking for the same last name as Itachi.

Doctor 1: Oh here we go. Sasuke Uchiha.

 

Sasuke: Yes, that's me.

 

Doctor 1: Your brother is fine. It was strange though, he was in a coma, his heart stopped. And now he's…

 

The doctor opened up the door so that they could get a full vision of the room.

And there was Itachi, leaning up in bed. Looking better than before.

 

Doctor 1: This is strange, he instantly recovered in a instant. He will be fine to go home tonight. But you may want to keep a eye on him.

 

Sasuke smiled knowing that his big brother was okay. The doctor moved out of the way so that they would be able to get through fluidly. Itachi looked different. With his robe off and all.

 

Sasuke: Itachi…?

 

Itachi looked over, he was still the same old serious self.

 

Itachi: Hm?

 

Sasuke: Itachi, why would you risk your life for me. You were badly injured. By that retarded fox. And yet you were still beaten out and you still managed to save me from Kisame.

 

Itachi: I did what I had to do. Now that you believe me. I had a reason to live again. I did not want to be the only Uchiha left. Even when I had that power in my hand so many years ago.. Sigh

 

Sasuke: Itachi.. the doctors said you are alright to get out of here whenever you want. They just want us to keep a eye on you to make sure your healthy and all.

 

Itachi: That's fine.

 

Itachi got up from the bed, he threw the blankets down to his feet, they all were surprised at how Itachi got really buff. He had a lot of abs. Itachi noticed Sakura blushing, this made Itachi himself blush... the first time in a long while. Itachi left out a big `Hn.' and began to walk on the floor. They were all impressed at how he recovered so quickly. He didn't even strain to walk. He got up as if nothing had happened.

 

Itachi: Alright, I know you're surprised at how well I am at recovering. But please stop it. It's freaking me out. So stop gawking at me.. Hn.

 

Sasuke: Itachi, why did your heart give out, and you're suddenly better?

 

Itachi gazed down at his brother, and ruffled his hair.

 

Itachi: Hn. I had a confrontation with Pain in my coma. We were fighting chakra to chakra in my hell world. I was the one losing. Pain is strong. Even stronger than me. Even in my own little world. These are called Death dreams. The Akatsuki use them on a member who has betrayed them. I guess it was my turn.

 

Sakura: So how did you win Itachi?

 

Itachi: Hn. Well. I had to give up my Mangekyo Sharingan. To defeat Pain I had to let go of my hate. These death dreams affect the real world. Now that Pain was defeated. He is probably sitting there lifeless on his throne now. But only for a little while.

 

Kakashi was very amazed by this, he never heard of these Death dreams, as Itachi explained. Even though he had years of knowledge of all of the ninja way. He still found it quite impressive.

 

Itachi: I'm ready to go now.

 

Kakashi: We'll let's sign the release papers, and I'll lead the way.

 

Itachi: Right.

 

Kakashi was the first to leave the room, followed by Naruto, Sasuke then Sakura. Itachi wanted to be the last one out. He wanted to leave his Akatsuki coat behind. It was blood stained anyways, and it only reminded him of the evil. Itachi took a last gaze at his old robe but it didn't change his emotions, he walked out the door slowly, as it began to draw to a close. It squeaked very loudly, a silence in the air. It finally latched. Itachi looked down the hall to see the foursome ahead of him. He didn't really think Sasuke forgave him yet. But he was determined to.

 

Itachi: There isn't much left of the Akatsuki.

 

While Itachi was lost in his thoughts, he remained stationary looking at the floor as he walked by.

 

Kakashi: Sasuke.. You know his wound won't heal fully?

 

Sasuke: I know. That damn creature in the forest.

 

Kakashi: Well as you probably know, this will shorten his lifetime on earth. Let's just say it cut his life time in half.

 

Sasuke: Your serious?

 

Kakashi nodded.

 

Sasuke: Nothing we can do?

 

Kakashi: Nothing really.. except…

 

By now Kakashi had his three students interested in what he was going to say. Kakashi paused and looked down at the 6 eyes gazing up on him. He let out a nervous chuckle.

 

Sasuke: Yes?

 

Kakashi: There is a healer, that lives far from here. She has done experiments on these types of injuries that Itachi has.

 

Sasuke: And where is this healer?

 

Kakashi: America….

 

Sasuke: How far in America Sensei?

 

Kakashi: Heh, well. Northern Canada.

 

Naruto: Sensei, how do you know this?

Kakashi: I have been there a long time ago.

 

Naruto: Then how do you know she is still there?

 

Kakashi: It's just a feeling. Besides while we are there we can go skiing up on the mountain side up on the lodge. Won't that be fun? Oh and Itachi will have to climb the mountain side alone. A companion might ruin the spirits power. It might interfere. So Itachi must go alone.

 

Sasuke: Along up a mountain side.

 

Kakashi: Yes and there's more.

 

Sasuke: Hmmn…

 

Kakashi: It's known for having a lot of blizzards in the past. But she cannot do it if there's another presence nearby.

 

Sasuke: But..

 

Itachi was already caught up to them by the desk, while they were waiting for his release forms.

 

Itachi: I will go there alone. It doesn't really matter.

 

Kakashi: You cannot have any survival gear on either. Just your clothes. This is a test of endurance.

 

Itachi: I understand.

 

Kakashi: Alright well I'll book a flight for tomorrow morning to Canada.

 

Naruto: FINALLY, I love exploring. It's good to see the world.

 

Sakura: Yeah, plus it doesn't really snow around here that much.

 

Kakashi: Alright, it's settled, we'll leave at dawn.

 

A few minutes later, the same nurse that came to check on him when Itachi was in a coma came over, she began to get the forms; but as she was going around her desk she saw Itachi staring at her. She wasn't a easy scare. She hated Itachi. Regardless of the `renewal-story' she despised him. The Nurse handed Kakashi the papers, he signed being the `Guardian', then Itachi signed the blank below Kakashi's signature.

 

Nurse: Alright, you may leave the hospital now.

 

 

Itachi couldn't really keep his eyes off her. Not that she was attractive he just felt something in his stomach that told him that he had know her for a while. But he couldn't put his finger on it.

 

Kakashi: Alright, go get a good night's rest. We depart at dawn.

 

Naruto: Canada here we come!

 

Sakura: NARUTO! Stop messing around. This is a hospital.

 

Naruto: Fine. Pff

 

Sakura: Oh and Naruto, It will be VERY HARD to find Ramen in Northern Canada.

 

Naruto: WHAT?

 

Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi all begin to chuckle at Naruto's frustration and anger. They all knew he was addicted to Ramen like a dog to a piece of meat. Itachi was idly watching, not moving his facial muscles.

 

Naruto: Did you know it takes over 2000 + Muscles to smile and only 21 to extend your middle finger?

 

Itachi: Hmn.

 

Itachi looked down at Naruto with a little glare. He didn't want to get mad, if he could get mad over a little thing like that then what else could he get mad at? He'll go back to the dark side again. One place he didn't want to go back. Sasuke noticed the twitching in Itachi's eye. He nudged Naruto in the shoulder, telling him to leave Itachi alone.

 

Naruto: What? I'm just saying I never saw him fully smile.

 

Itachi: …

 

Sakura: NARUTO!

 

Itachi: It's alright. There's just emptiness inside of me.

 

Naruto: Like your lack of brain cells?

 

Sakura: NARUTO STOP INSULTING POOR ITACHI!

 

Naruto: I CAN'T HELP IT.

 

Itachi: Pssh. Well can we move along now? Im sick of this death infested place.

 

Kakashi: Alright now let's leave.

 

Itachi: Canada… On the other side of the Pacific Ocean?

 

Sasuke: Kakashi, wait, which province are we going to?

 

Kakashi: Yukon, we may even go into Alaska. You 4 go get some rest. I have a flight to book.

 

Naruto: Allright.

 

Sasuke: Yes, Come on Itachi. Let's go back home.

 

Itachi: Hmmnn.[Thinking] Back to my cavern of memories.

 

Sakura: Well, time to go into dream land. See ya later guys.

 

Sasuke put his hand on Itachi's shoulder.

 

Sasuke: Itachi, let's go home brother.

 

Itachi: Alright brother.

 

Naruto: Time to go. Bye.

 

Kakashi: Goodnight Itachi and Sasuke.

 

Kakashi disappeared into thin air leaving the two guys behind by themselves. And with that they all went home under the moonlight. Tomorrow would be a new adventure for them. A new chance to breath. To start life anew. Going to the other side of the world to a alien country. They knew it wouldn't be all bad. And in the morning they would find that getting out of the house is good for you in the end.

 

Chapter 5 coming soon!
