A/N: I thank those who waited patiently for this chapter, and I apologize of how crappy the second Chapter ended. Ugh FML. Read on. :)
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters or things you find recognizable from this story. Just the plot, I swear.

"Idiot."
"What!"
"So troublesome."
"Oh shut up Shika. It's not my fault that my passion for ramen is overwhelming."
Nara Shikamaru sighed at his blonde obnoxious friend and rubbed his temples to ease the tension away, "I repeat. Troublesome. And can you please throw your rubbish in the garbage bin? It's there for a fucking reason."
Uzumaki Naruto, the subject Shikamaru was talking to, rolled his eyes and sighed inwardly.
"I don't think so. Garbage duties are yours, don't you remember?"
"Idiot, that only applies to patients in Konoha Asylum—" he paused to think of what he had just said, "Wait a minute, you are one. Nevermind."
Naruto growled and pinpointed the Staff badge on his breast pocket. "Eat this, bitch."
"No thank you." The lazy man rolled his eyes and leaned in for another nap. "Try not to be too loud dumbass."
"Fuck you."
"Troublesome."

Haruno Sakura sat in the cafeteria, with a tray of her untouched food and (as hard as she wanted to ignore) a box of colorful pills, prescribed to her as the evening 'medicine.'
"Oh, hey." Came a voice from behind. Sakura turned around and saw Inuzuka Kiba empty handed. "Funny to meet you here again."
She didn't smile but nodded, Kiba's voice was dry of humor. Depression fucks you up that way.
Her lightless green eyes looked through the sheen of glass out the dusty windows, and saw the world a color of dismal-grey.
"Mind if I sit next to you?" he asked, voice dull. Sakura nodded absent-mindedly.
She arched an eyebrow at him, asking through her eyes what he was doing here if he wasn't going to eat. Kiba probably understood because he shrugged.
"I'm not that hungry." He answered and she nodded, eyes still vigilant as she stared at her lifeless tray.
He looked at her, "Can you really not talk?" he asked.
She shrugged and shook her head then nodded, which confused Kiba but he didn't dare ask again.
"Who are you?" a female voice barged in the silence.
Both Haruno and Kiba turned around and looked at a very deadly pale and skinny girl.
"Hey Ino." Kiba muttered and shifted over to allow a space for the said girl to sit on.
Sakura stared at the dark circles under her eye, the veins visible through her thin white skin and lackluster yellow hair. She would have been pretty, she thought, if it wasn't for the zombie-like appearance.
Kiba gestured to Sakura, "This is Haruno Sakura, she's new." Kiba said and gestured to Ino, "This is Yamanaka Ino. Been here for three years."
Ino quirked her pale blonde eyebrow, "What are you in for?" Ino asked her.
The pink-haired girl did not answer but pulled her long white sleeves down her arm—Ino saw the repetitive cuts and bruises that could only be caused by self-harm.
The blonde nodded perceptively and eyed Sakura further.
"Are you mute?"
Kiba looked at Ino then back at Sakura who just shrugged.
"I guess she kinda is." The boy answered for Ino who grunted in return.
The cafeteria was eerily silent in addition of the dull murmurs of other patients, a scraping noise filled the air as Sakura got up from her seat, tray still filled with food, untouched.
None of them even asked where she was going, no one cared. Ino looked at the pink-haired girl from the corner of her tired eyes and saw her dumping a box of pills into the garbage can.
She left the room without a word, and everyone resumed their meaningless chatter as she disappeared out of view.

What you don't know won't kill you, but in the case of Uchiha Sasuke it remained the opposite.
The world (sky) had turned dark as sin, with stars threatening to fall in a glittery splash and soon disappear with the cold moon behind black clouds.
Under the dull moonlight, the raven-haired boy stared numbly at the night and silently wondered how long he'd be staying in this hellhole.
The sound of twigs crunching underneath walking feet told him that there was someone nearby, probably visiting the only greenery (although most of it was dirt) park in Konoha Asylum.
He didn't turn around, eyes fixed at the darkdarkdark sky.
Through his peripheral vision, he saw a flurry of dusky pink then it disappeared.
Something told him to turn around, so he did, and stared at nothing but the gushing murky water of the fountain, gurgling as it drained away.
The solid warmth of someone's presence appeared beside him, and through the sudden shock, his eyes remained cold and unresponsive.
"What are you doing here?" he asked dryly.
"Same reason why you're here." She answered.
He eyed the floating dead leaf falling idly from the tree, "Escaping isn't a choice here. Take it from someone who'd tried for five years straight without fail."
Haruno Sakura turned to look at him her lips remained unmoving.
"You'd be surprise."

A/N: Sorry. I just had to make it up for that unbelievably crappy second chapter. I hated it, so here's a short but (hopefully) better one. Reviews to make me happy!
