四十六; 「accidental video post」

[The feed clicks on and Sasuke can be seen trying to climb out of bed. He's got Mouko and Pumpkin on him, and he's obviously in pain trying to get out of bed. He's ignoring it, though, brushing the cats aside and missing both.]

C'mon, guys, lemme get up and look for nii-san...

[He touches down on the floor the same instant the cats leap down from the bed. He carefully pushes off of the bed and tries to walk, only... to trip over Mouko and fall to the hard floor. On his right side. Good job Sauce!]

Ow...

[Mouko gives a mewl while Pumpkin sits innocently not far away. Shadow's off sleeping by Naruto, sleep-chewing his hair.

The feed times out as Sasuke's picking himself up.]

Take me home!

[Sharp. Shaking. Breaking. Demanding.

Just do as he says, Hitsu.]

...Very well. But I won't be the one explaining it to Uzumaki or Unoahana-taichou.

[And he clicks the video off with a huff. Time to head to the next room and deal with the demanding teenager.]

[Sasuke's just waiting in bed, having been put back there by Naruto. He's trying his best not to break down again, although he's obviously failing at that.]

[Hitsugaya doesn't enter until Uzumaki has left. In his opinion, the blond would be better suited for this, but either way it doesn't matter. He isn't about to advertise his handicap to anyone he doesn't have to.]

...Uchiha.

[Sasuke looks up, just glancing over in Hitsugaya's general direction. He wished like nothing else he could see right now. None of this would be necessary then.]

Toushirou...?

Of course.

[He steps closer, near the bed but still out of arm's reach.]

W-Where...?

[He gets onto his hands and knees and tries to crawl over, but... dammit he doesn't know where you are why are you doing this just get him hoooome DD:]

[His frown deepens as Uchiha moves off the bed, and he mentally kicks himself. He's not exactly used to people doing this sort of thing in front of him. Making sure to project his left side first, keeping his right arm out of reach, he crouched down and grabbed ahold of Uchiha's shoulder.]

You can at least stand. What are you trying to do?

[Sasuke glances up as his shoulder's grasped, white eyes focusing on the presence he feels in front of him. He must look like a mess, with his eyes watering and red.]

Just take me home, please...

[He scowls back. He doesn't like looking into those white eyes, especially like this. He's quiet for a moment, unmoving, before he finally lets go, turns around to offer the boy his back, and reaches back again.]

Get on then.

R-Right.

[Sasuke reaches out before awkwardly climbing onto Hitsugaya's back. He can't help but think back to the heatwave that they had had rather recently, when he was the one carrying Hitsugaya on his back.

He wraps his arms around the shinigami firmly, giving a light squeeze to signal that he was ready.

His PCD lay forgotten on the floor.]

[Luckily for him, he'd been unconscious for that particular escapade. Otherwise the embarrassment would be too great to ignore. But if Uchiha was this desperate, he couldn't possibly leave him here.

With the shinobi on his back, he leans so that his right side is slightly higher than his left and supports Uchiha with his left arm as he hops up on a window sill and leaps out of the clinic to avoid being stalled by anyone else staying there before he could even get going.

He leaves the PCD where it is, not having noticed it. It isn't as if he has the hands to carry it anyway.]

[Sasuke just held on tight. He could care less about the PCD right now anyway.]

[Once outside of the clinic, he hid his reiatsu and took his time, moving fast but certainly not as quickly as he could have. Perhaps it would give Uchiha a few more seconds in which to cool down.]

[He couldn't. He just keep thinking how Itachi could have disappeared when he was so close, and when... When did it happen? Itachi was with him when he woke up, helped calm him down...

Why did it even have to happen again? Why Itachi? Why...

Sasuke could feel his throat tighten and dry as they moved further and further away from the clinic. Dammit, he couldn't cry again, no matter how much he just wanted to break down. It wouldn't break Itachi back would accomplish nothing.]

[Hitsugaya couldn't have known what all was going through the Uchiha's mind, but he doubted it had anything to do with calming down. And so for the last stretch, he stepped into shunpo, returning to the realm of vision after several steps and landing lightly in front of the Second Hyuuga House.]

[sasuke tightened his grip as Hitsugaya picked up the pace, clinching his eyes shut. It wasn't because he was scared, but... he really didn't want to throw up as soon as they got to the house. Not right now, at least.]

[He didn't mind the tighter grip, knowing it was probably necessary in order to keep in place. He couldn't exactly open the door with the weight on his back, so he bent down again, allowing Uchiha to climb off and support himself by the wall.]

[Sasuke staggered off of Hitsugaya, reaching out to feel for the wall. Yeah, he wasn't... feeling so great. Did mental break downs and panic attacks come with nauseousness? He couldn't remember.

He just...he just had to make sure Itachi was really gone. He just had to...]

[He watched Uchiha's less-than-graceful movements, biting his lip in frustration. ]

Just stay still. You contacted Hyuuga, so he must be expecting you. You'll be fine.

[With that, he moved to leave. He didn't really want to be caught here, hence why he was still hiding his reiatsu..]

[Sasuke's eyes widened when he caught the shifting movement. He glanced over, but not before he leaned back against the wall and sliding down to the ground. There was no way he could walk in his state.

He...wanted Hitsugaya to stay, but he didn't voice it. He didn't doubt that seeing him in this state...disgusted the shinigami.

Instead, he just nodded, lowering his head enough to keep his face from view.]

... Thank you.

[Hitsugaya noted as Uchiha slid down the wall, taking it for the shinobi being physically and mentally worn out.

Yes, Uchiha's condition made him uncomfortable, but it hand nothing to do with disgust. It just wasn't right, seeing him like that, and he felt he was intruding where he didn't belong.

He nodded in reply, though Uchiha couldn't see it.]

Of course.

[With that, he set free a burst of reiatsu to alert those inside and took off, confident Uchiha would be taken care of.]

[Taken as a threat initially, Neji frowned as he viewed Hitsugaya's retreating form through the Byakugan. He set the utensils he held down on the counter and moved outside to the bit of wall Sasuke was slumped against.

With a sigh he bent down to examine him.]

...Sasuke? [A query meant to confirm consciousness, and gentle prodding] Did something happen?

Edited 2009-09-08 04:10 (UTC)

[Sasuke lifted his head slightly at the sound of Neji's voice. He hardly looked like he was supposed to be out of the clinic at all, with what he's done with himself mentally. Nauseousness does not help, either.]

Can you... take me to my room, please?

[His voice was a little shaky, and softer, yet still firm. When he made his request, he sat up fully. He's been crying a little bit.]

I have to...make sure he's really gone.

[What a mess. Neji looked at Sasuke with muted sympathy for a moment and brushed a few strands of hair from his face. Deft fingers briefly checked his pulse before he nodded- although the other couldn't see and needed verbal confirmation.]

You need to rest, Sasuke.

[Gently pulling him forward, he lifted Sasuke up in his arms and stood, remaining still a moment to adjust to the new weight. Inside, he nudged Sasuke's door open and set him down on his bed, lingering nearby if he intended to manually search the room for Itachi.]
