Description
Suigetsu sat on the large rock looking at Juugo. "So...Sasuke and the PMS bitch were captured by the Kages? After Madara ditched them?" He asked taking a sip of water from the straw on the cup he always carried. Juugo nodded.

"From what I heard." He said. Suigetsu grinned and then sprang to his feet.

"Well then! Let's go find him!" He said grabbing his sword and marching off.

Juugo looked at the bird on his shoulder and stroked its tiny head, then he started to follow the younger ninja.

~XXXXX~

Sasuke let out a moan of pain as he shifted in his sleep. Karin was worried, he was really beat up and his breathing pattern was irregular. Sasuke again moaned and he moved his wrists causing a metal clanking sound as the heavy chains around his wrists moved against each other.

~Dream~

Sasuke could see his old team mates and his sensei.

Naruto, that annoying blond haired, blue eyed, loud mouthed boy.

Sakura, the beautiful pink hair, her beautiful green eyes.

And Kakashi, his perverted sensei one hand in his pocket the other holding the book he always read.

Sasuke's eyes started to water upon seeing them. "Please...forgive me..." Sasuke whispered as tears poured down his face.

Sakura smiled at this, Sasuke always had loved her smile it made him feel good.

Then Kakashi started to speak. "Sasuke we forgave you a long time ago...we will always be there for you..." He said and smiled.

Then their bodies started to fade and everything around him started to go white.

"Wait! Kakashi! Sakura! Naruto! Wait!" He cried as he reached out to grab Naruto's hand before he could fade from sight.

"You've always been my best friend Sasuke remember that." He said and smiled. Then they were gone.

~End Dream~

Sasuke slowly opened his eyes, and tears brimmed in his eyes upon realizing where he was.

It had all been a dream.

"Sasuke?" Karin's voice asked as she looked over at him.

Regret suddenly dropped upon his shoulders.

He missed his friends back in Konoha.

He missed Itachi...his loving caring big brother.

He regretted leaving to go to Orochimaru.

He hated himself for all the horrible things he had done and the people he had hurt.

The door suddenly opened and the Raikage walked in. "Alright. Ya ready to tell me ya brat?" He asked.

"P-Please...I don't know...I-I swear on Itachi's grave..." Sasuke whispered softly.

The Raikage growled in anger and started the previous hand seals he had used for that horrible agonizing jutsu, but Karin's voice stopped him.

"WAIT!" She cried.

The Raikage looked at her and glared. "What is it?" He spat coldly.

"T-The rain village..." She muttered.

"The Rain village? He's in the Rain Village?" The Raikage questioned.

"Y-Yes." She said softly.

The Raikage grinned. "Thank you...you may go...but the Uchiha stays with me." The Raikage snickered as he grabbed a fistful of raven locks and looked into his eyes and pulled back a fist to hit him.

"No he doesn't." Came a voice so familiar to Sasuke.

Sasuke slowly turned his head and he was shocked to see his former sensei standing in the doorway.

The Raikage glared at him. "Kakashi Hatake! What the hell are you doing here!" The Raikage roared.

"The Leaf Village has renounced their claim on Sasuke...he's coming with me." Kakashi said.

The Raikage was enraged at this. "Like hell he is!" He shouted.

"Hey you got a problem with it talk to the Hokage." Kakashi said and used his Lightning Blade to break the chains.

The Raikage was furious he couldn't believe this.

Kakashi gently slid his arms underneath Sasuke and picked him up, Sasuke after his head was raised threw up the rest of his stomach contents on the floor, a mix between of the tiny bit of food the Raikage had allowed him and blood.

Kakashi felt Sasuke's forehead and frowned, he looked at the Raikage. "What's the temperture in here?" Kakashi asked.

The Raikage glared at the white haired jonin but muttered a reply. "24 degrees."

Kakashi glared suddenly feeling hate towards the man, but he turned around and left the room Karin quickly following him not wanting to be anywhere near the large Raikage.

Once out of the Raikage's range of hearing, Kakashi started to talk to Sasuke softly. "You're burning up..." He muttered.

"I-I'm sorry..." Sasuke said as tears flowed freely from his eyes.

Karin was in shock she had never seen him like this, it was an awful heartbreaking sight, but she remained quiet.

"Shh...I know..." Kakashi said as hecontinued to walk.

Sasuke's tears turned into sobs. "W-Why are you helping me? E-Ev-Everyone hates me...why are you doing this?" Sasuke asked.

Kakashi smiled at this statement. "Actually Sasuke...they all forgave you...a long time ago..." Kakashi stopped his sentence and pulled Sasuke closer to his chest and looked directly into his eyes. "...and so did I..." He said and smiled. Sasuke started to cry again.

"Itachi...what about him...did he forgive me...?" Sasuke asked. Kakashi was shocked by this question, but the way Sasuke had said it, it sounded like an actual question.

"I'm sure he did Sasuke." Kakashi said as he ran his fingers through his raven hair feeling the dirt that clung to the strands. He was surprised as Sasuke suddenly shifted in his arms and snuggled against his chest, this was when Kakashi now realized that Sasuke had been shivering.

'He's freezing now...what the hell...' Kakashi thought.

"I don't feel good sensei..." Sasuke whispered and almost as soon as he said that he threw up again. "I can see that." Kakashi said softly.

"Where are you taking him?" Karin asked.

"Konoha hospital." Kakashi said looking over his shoulder at her.

Sasuke heard this and sighed he rested his head against Kakashi's chest and listened he could hear Kakashi's heartbeat and it seemed to calm him, soon he started to get sleepy and he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Kakashi suddenly stopped in his tracks and listened to Sasuke's breathing pattern. "He's asleep." Kakashi announced then started walking again.

~XXXXX~

It had taken them two days to get to Konoha and now Karin found herself standing in front of the Konoha hospital with the white haired jonin, who was still holding her leader in his arms.

Kakashi looked at Karin and nodded at her and walked through the doors with her following him. He walked around through the hospital until he found Tsunade talking to Sakura.

Tsunade had her back turned to them, so he tried to wait until she was done, but she was interruptedby the sound of Sasuke throwing up again but he didn't wake. Tsunade turned around and saw Kakashi holding Sasuke shushing him to try and comfort him.

"So...you didn't get beat to death by the Raikage for taking him?" Tsunade asked as she walked over to Kakashi.

"No as a matter of fact he was rather calm until I stepped out the door with him, but he didn't attack." Kakashi said.

Tsunade then switched her gaze to Karin, then she looked back to Kakashi. "I see she was with him too?" She said upon noticing a few cuts and bruises on her as well.

Kakashi nodded and looked at Karin.

"I'm not here to hurt anyone...I just want to make sure he's okay..." Karin said.

Tsunade nodded. "That's understandable." Tsunade said and led Kakashi and Karin into a room, Sakura was walking behind them in shock she couldn't believe how horrible he looked.

Tsunade told Kakashi to lay Sasuke on the bed and he obeyed, then backed up so Tsunade could check him out.

"Sakura...if you want to, you can go get your friends and tell them he's here but they'll have to wait in the waiting room, along with Karin." Tsunade said.

There was grunting from the window as it was opened and they saw Suigetsu sitting in it with Juugo standing behind him looking inside the room.

"There you are Karin where's Sasuke?" Suigetsu asked. Suigetsu stopped when he saw Juugo look at the bed in the room. "Woah..." Suigetsu stated.

"The Raikage beat him pretty bad." Karin said stroking Sasuke's hair.

"Okay everyone out! The only person I need in here is Kakashi so everyone go." Tsunade said sharply.

They all nodded and then left the room, but Kakashi sat on the chair next to the bed and looked at Sasuke.

"Well? What do you think is wrong? His temperture was skyrocketing through the roof earlier and then it suddenly went down and he started to turn cold...I don't understand it." Kakashi said resting a hand against his forehead.

"Well...fhe symptoms I see here...look like severe damage to most of his blood cells." Tsunade said.

Kakashi frowned. "What do you mean? What kind of damage?" He said looking closer at Sasuke and now noticing his lips were a slight shade of blue.

"Well...I'll take a look..." Tsunade said and picked up a scalpel and a microscopic magnifying glass. "This should allow me to see his blood cells without having to do tests. Now let's see here..." Tsunade said and took the scalpel and cut deep into Sasuke's arm, but surpringly very few blood came out and the blood looked rather hard and sticky it didn't look like liquid at all.

Kakashi swallowed the vomit that had risen in his throat, this didn't look pretty at all.

Tsunade looked at his blood with the special magnifying glass and she suddenly dropped it when she saw what was in it. "Oh my god..." She muttered.

"What? What is it?" Kakashi asked hurriedly.

"Come here...look at this." Tsunade shoved the magnifying glass into his hand and he leaned down and looked through it.

"OH FUCK WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!" Kakashi suddenly yelled.

"Most of hie blood cells have been fryed, that must be why his blood is like this." Tsunade answered.

"What could have caused this?" Kakashi asked.

"It's very rare to see this sort of reaction but most likely a very strong lightning jutsu, when did he fall asleep and has he woken up at all?" Tsunade asked.

"Two days ago, but no he hasn't opened his eyes at all." Kakashi answered.

"I can't do anything for him Kakashi...I'm sorry." Tsunade said taking off her jacket.

Kakashi suddenly slammed his fist on the desk next to the table.

"That's not good enough! There has to be something!" He yelled.

"Well...there is one thing...but it rarely works, and its extremely difficult..." Tsunade said with a grim look on her face.
