/|\ Good blood, Bad Blood /|\

= two days earlier of the day in question, 5:00 am=

“She not her yet.. What could be keeping her..” I had to lay Sasuke down in my bed, and keep his arm elevated over his head.

I tried to keep him focused in conversation. I could tell he was starting to daze out.
“Hey hold on..”

He looked at me, “ Hold on for what.. What do I have that’s worth holding on to..”

“I..”


“ Right, you don’t know me, and trying to would be redundant.” He turned his face to look at me.

I take the wash cloth off his head and put it in the bowl of water. I ring it out and placed it on his forehead.

He was losing a lot of blood, the towel was dye red with it. “ Well, you’re the one bleeding all over my sheets. Trying to know you sounds like a good idea to me.”

He just stares at me, I should say some thing to make him feel better.
“Hey, its not that bad, you’ll make it. Tell me more about your family. What you do for fun.. Just keep talking.”

I realized that I shouldn’t have said some thing about his folk, but what ever works. I pat his forehead with the rag.

“ My family, ha, I wouldn’t call it that. It’s more like a den of deadly vipers. Father was all about business, he was a ruthless man. My brother’s just like him, but it’s different. My brother is cruel on top of it and his logic is twisted. That’s why Father trusted me, he trusted me with too much. That’s what I think.”

I listen to him, he sounded more emotional about it then angry. He shivers “every thing was decided for me. I was never given a choice.. I couldn’t be my self..”

He face strained, like he was trying to think of the right thing to say. “I wished I could toss it all away.. But that wouldn’t get me any where. I would have ended up like you.”

He was going to be fine, if he had time to insult me like that. Only if that damn Tsunade would get here.

I gritted my teeth, “sure, like you could understand the way I live.”
“ Why do you live like this.. Your like some kind of bum.. Don’t you even care how other see you.” he gave a quick glance around the room.

“ Nope, no one gave time to care about me. Why should I care what they think. I have to admit..tho, being like this has its bad points. It’s a simple existent, and I liked it that way. I never had to worry about anything.”

“ That sounds nice” he answers. I raise an eye brow, there was a hint of jealousy in that, I knew it. Just then there was a knock on the door. I get up and look in threw the peep hole, it was a woman.

She had nice body, blonde hair, she had a tank top that showed off her chest, blue jeans, and a black suite case in her hand. I spoke threw the door, “ You the Doctor..” “ Im certainly not the Easter bunny.”

Very funny, I have a guy dying on my bed and your making jokes. I open the door, and close it after her.

She see Sasuke on my bed, “Shit..” she rushes over to him. “ what took you..” he whispers. She opens the case sitting it on the floor. “ I had to get this..You should have told me it was this bad, what happened.”

She looks at me, then starts un-wrapping the towel from Sasuke’s arm. “ He was shot..what dose it look like” I mock her.

She looks the wound over, “ I’ll have to stitch him up, then he’ll need a blood transfusion.. He’s lost a lot of blood.” She started to get to work, taking out what looked to be a sort of sewing kit.

“ Were going to need boiling hot water..” “Oh, crap, I don’t have any warm water ” I stopped pacing and look at her.

She doesn’t look up, “ better get some, we don’t want him getting an infection” I search my kitchen for a pot.

“ I’ll be right back, I’ll have to go over to the neighbors.” with pot in hand I head for the door.

“ You got to get cleaned up first, smart one. Don’t want to draw attention, and with the way you look.. I think you’d give some one a good scare. Make it fast..” she comments as she dresses his wound.

I look down and realize my bath robe had Sasuke’s blood all over it. I hurry and pick a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt, and change in the bath room.

Next thing I know, I’m sitting in my neighbors apartment, waiting for water to boil.

“ Shikamaru, haven’t payed your electric bill yet?” I look up at the guy. If I was a joke this guy had to be a laughing stock.

“ No Rock., I haven’t payed my rent ether..” this guy made his money as a Bruce Lee impersonator. I was trying chill out, but that was pretty hard for obvious reasons.

“ You wouldn’t have those problems if you had a stable job like I do.” All I do is shake my head, and sigh.

“ I didn’t come here to hear this Rock.” I tap my fingers on my knees, “ I just need the water, I do thank you for helping me out tho.”


“ You look awful, it’s like your sick or some thing.” I think to my self, yea buddy, I’m sick of every thing.

“ It’s been a bad morning, Is the water done yet?” I look over my shoulder, I knew I looked weird, But I couldn’t really help it.

“Let me go see” he walks over to the kitchen, “ yea .. Its boiling.” He turns the stove off and puts the lid on it. I take the pot holders and he opens the door for me.

“ Thanks again Rock” I rush over to my place. I’m just glade he didn’t ask what the water was for.

Dr. Tsunade, put her tools in the water and the thread, then got to work. I sat out at the table, with my hands over my ears. Even though Sasuke wasn’t making much noise, Just knowing what was going on bothered me.

Some time went by and I was hungry. Of course I was in no mood to deal with my growling stomach.

“Okay that parts done.. Hey you..” She snapped her fingers.

“ I have a name..it’s..”

“ Im sure you do, what’s your blood type?”

“ AB” Sasuke was out cold, he must have passed out . That wasn’t good, It made me sick .

“ Perfect.. Get over here, your going to give me some of your blood, now hurry up.”

I get my butt over there only to have her force me down next to her. “ You better be clean..” she eyed me.

“ Do I look like some one, that uses drugs?” She shakes her head at me, as she wraps a rubber strip around my arm.

“ You better be, because I’d have to kill you..” she rubs the vein in my arm, then cleans the area. She had her own lil transfusion device rigged up.

With out even warning me she jabs my arm with the needle, it cause me to jump. “ HEY..”
" Lay down and shut up..” she sighs, and gets up. I give her a look, she just stares off. She reaches for the smokes in her back pocket.

I lay down, I was already feeling sick, and this was causing me to get light headed. “What was your name again” I hear her ask.

“Its Shikamaru ” I just look up at the ceiling, soon I smell cigarette smoke. “ So how long have you’ve know Sasuke.”

“ Not very long..” I wonder where this conversation was going. I wanted to look at her, but I didn’t dare left my head.

“ I’ve known him since he was little, I know every thing about him. I’m kinda like a second mother, understand. If you hurt him..that will give me another reason to break your neck.” she got up and was she was looking down at me now.

“ Break his heart, and they’ll never find you.. Get me..” her face was serious. What the hell was she talking about, she’d flipped her wig or some thing.

“ He’s been hurt before, and it’s painful for me watch him go threw that. Now with all this going on.. I don’t think he’d recover..Okay”

“ Did I miss some thing? Because..I’m not following..” She raises an eye brow, “ He came here..and..I just assumed.” “ I think your mistaken.”

She chuckled slightly, “ Hmm I get it.. Oh well.. What ever” she walks away again. I thought that over. So he was a Homosexual, and most likely still hiding it.

No wonder he was worry about that tape, he was with some other guy. An image presented it self in my head. For some reason, I felt flushed.

The feeling seemed to grow, not like it matter if I was or not. I never really thought about it. The idea Of being gay didn’t bug me or if some one I knew just happened to be.

I look over to Sasuke, I just met this guy, what in the hell was I thinking. I try to rid the picture from my thoughts, but being light headed wasn’t helping.

I tried to focus on some thing else. Like the tube in my arm pumping blood in to the man next to me. Jeesh, that didn’t help.

“Well, that should do it.” she comes back over, and freeing me from that experience. She smiles at me, “ He should be okay, I’m really grateful to you for helping out. I’m sorry if I scared you, Its just..I was worried about him. A lot has happened to him and it seems like it just gets worse.”

“ Yea” she wraps a bandage around my arm. “ You two stay low for a while, It’s a very dangerous. So be extremely careful” she puts her gear away. I could hear Sasuke’s labored breathing next to me.

“I’ll be on my way,” she walked over to the door. “ Please, Shikamaru, protect him for me.. You don’t know how lost we’d be with out him.”

She made her way out, I wanted to stop her. What did she mean? But my vision started blacken, I had fainted.

= two days before the day in question, 11:40 Am =

I woke up with an awful headache and a stiff neck, “ Holy cow..” slowly opening my eyes. I rub my head, and I notice some thing is missing.

Sasuke wasn’t sleeping next to me any more. I get kinda panicky, where was he. I hear noise from the kitchen, I get up, and sure enough it was him.

He’s was deep in thought, I pull a chair up next to him. “ Well, You look good for guy that almost kicked the bucket this morning.”

“ You don’t have any food.. Just those..stale bagels” he looks at me. I realize he’s wearing my clothes. A navy blue t-shirt with the arms cut off, and a pair of my best black Cargo pants.

“ Sure help your self to my stuff with out asking.” His upper arm was all wrapped up, it looked uncomfortable.

He ignores what I said, and looks back to me. We just look at each other, these long pause were become habit.

“ so I have your blood running in my veins.” I turn my face from him, rubbing the back of my neck.

“ Well.. Its not like there was a line to choose from.. Sorry if that disturbs you.” He sighs, “ It’s not like that.”

I look at him again, “well, I should get us some thing for us to eat. There is a mini-mart not far from here. Should be safe enough..”

“ I’m going with you..” I frown at him, “ Your in no shape too, besides.. You’re the one there looking for.”

“If I have to stay in here any longer, I’d lose it..” I get up from my chair. “ Well that’s too sad, I can’t risk you leaving. It won’t take me long”

I head for the door, putting my shoes on. “ I hope your check cleared..if not were in trouble.” I feel him watching me, “ It should’ve.”

“ You just relax and I’ll be right back,” then I head out the door.


I hope I did it right? I’ll look for a beta to look over my spelling and grammar, I hope soon.
