Last chapter: Tsunade stepped up for a closer look at Sasuke. Chakra flared into her hands as she ran them a few inches away from the skin across his head and torso. After her scans, the Hokage proclaimed that there was no sign of anything wrong with the Uchiha, apart from the fact that he was unconscious. What confused her, was that there was no physical reason as to why he should be unconscious.

By the time Tsunade had finished all of her checks it was already very late. Naruto, although he was doing his best not to show it, was very worried for his friend. He sat by Sasuke's bed in the off-white, sterile-looking room until he felt his eyes droop with tiredness.

The next day, Sasuke sat up abruptly as if snapping out of a nightmare. In doing so, he roused the blonde boy from his sleeping position on the edge of the hospital bed.

Naruto blinked sleepily for a few seconds before realising that his upper body was practically sprawled out across Sasuke's legs. As soon as he realised his position, he leaned back as fast as he could without falling over. The blonde attempted a nonchalent gaze as he studied Sasuke's face to see if there was any sign of discomfort.

Without noticing the concerned look his teammate was giving him, Sasuke rubbed his temples as if trying to rid himself of a headache.

After a few minutes of absolute silence, Sasuke took in his surroundings before turning to Naruto to ask him what had happened to cause him to be in a hospital bed.

Naruto looked at the Uchiha's expectant expression in disbelief. Did he really not remember anything that happened?

With a suspicious look, Naruto repeated a brief version of the previous day's eventsclosely studying Sasuke's reaction to his tale. The dark-haired boy appeared to be telling the truth about remembering nothing, if his expression was anything to go by.

Sasuke's face scrunched up with the strain of trying to recall his forgotten memories. Naruto took this opportunity to inch subtely closer, as this was the most support he was willing to outwardly show to the stoic boy.

Sakura chose that particular moment to burst through the door. At the sight before her, a brief look of contempt crossed her face at the sight of the two boys sitting so close, but she quickly controlled it. She ran a few quick checks on Sasuke before declaring him fit to leave whenever he wanted. No sooner had the words passed her lips, Sasuke was on his feet and pulling on his sandles.

The two boys walked out of the hospital in companionable silence, Sasuke taking in the information he had gained about the previous day, and Naruto mulling over what Sasuke's memory loss meant. When they reached the outer gates, the pair went their separate ways with minimal words passed between them.

As Sasuke turned the corner that put the other boy out of his sight, he was hit by a splitting pain that tore through his mind. He gasped and fell onto all fours in an attempt to ride out the pain. It was too much for him to even call for help, and he felt the edges of his vision blurring more with each breath he took.

Naruto reached into his jacket pocket and fished around for the keys to his apartment. However, before he could open the door, a pair of strong hands grabbed his wrists and span him round only to be slammed up against the door. Slightly dazed from the sharp impact, it took him a few moments to gather his wits about him and take in his assulter's face.

"S-Sasuke?" The blonde stammed. "What are you doing?"

Anything else he may have been about to say was cut off by Sasuke roughly biting the juncture between his neck and shoulder. Naruto hissed in pain and suprise, and began to twist his wrists out of Sasuke's grip.

Unfortunately, Sasuke's grip on his wrists only tightened and the dark-haired boy thrust his hips forward sharply, effectively pinning Naruto against the door completely.

Naruto, not about to give up his struggle, finally managed to move one of his legs into a position where he could kick the Uchiha away from him.

Sasuke staggered back with the force of the kick, but caught his balance and took up a stance similar to that of a feral wolf studying its prey. The dark-haired boy wiped his mouth slowly with the back of his hand and looked at Naruto with a preditory gleam in his eyes.

"What the fuck is your problem, teme?!" Naruto wished that Kyuubi would say something that would help him in this situation, but she had been unnaturally silent all day.

A slow smirk crossed Sasuke's features, and the look he was giving made Naruto's throat dry while his body was screaming at him to run like hell. "Isn't this what you wanted Naruto?"

That set off alarm bells for Naruto, Sasuke had called him by his name, no insults, no 'dobe', what was wrong with him?

"What I... wanted? What are you talking about?" Naruto shifted to the left, trying to make it easier to run if necessary. However, before Sasuke could answer, the dark-haired boy fell to the floor clutching his head.

For a few moments, the Uchiha seemed to writhe in pain, eyes squeezed shut. After a few long minutes, the dark-haired boy stilled and opened his eyes. He pushed himself up into a sitting position, and stared at Naruto's feet, which happened to be the only thing he could see from his position on the floor.

"...Sasuke?"

The said boy looked up at the sound of his name and took in Naruto's worried gaze.

"...What am I doing here?"

End Note: I didn't reveal who the suspicious Konoha-person is yet, but I'm now writing with someone specific in mind, so look forward to it!
