I Do not own Naruto

Tools not Children

Sakura walked up to the machine placed on the side of the vanilla colored wall. She dug into her pocket and brought out her hospital I.D. and slid it through the bar-code scanner. She then typed in her code and clicked the option clock out. The wall machine then printed out her work hours. She read them over while still being in front of the machine. Underneath her eyes there were slight bags. She hadn't slept since midterms just passed by and she had stayed up the past couple of days to review. She needed to get the best scores to move up the ladder in the medical field. She had something to prove to the world and mostly her father. She placed the paper she had received from the machine into her white lab coat. She walked down the hospital hallway and began to say goodbye to her co-workers. She went up to the front desk to say goodbye to her best friend.

"Ino, I'm going home."

Ino looked at her with a frightened face.

"Get out of here now." She whispered.

"Why?"

Then handsome young man with a pale face and black hair walked up from behind Ino.

"I thinks she didn't want you to see me." The young man said.

Sakura took in his image and the calm features in her face turned to infuriated ones.

"How did you find me?" Sakura said raising her voice. "I said that I never wanted to see you again, Sai." Sakura aid glaring at him with such passion.

"It's been 5 and a half years since that happened." He got closer to her moving Ino aside. "I said I was sorry for that. I came looking for because all these years have felt empty without you." He said while touching one of her pink locks then rubbing his hand against her cheek. Her look towards him softened from his words and his touch for a second then the anger came right back and she pushed him away.

"I'm sure they're not as empty as you think. You're still screwing that floozy that made me call off our engagement."

"She doesn't matter to me. You know I've always wanted you."

His words made her clench her fists.

I swear if he keeps lying to me, I'll punch the shit out of him.

"Then why was it that I found you fucking her in our apartment two days before our wedding."

His stoic eyes now opened for her bringing up their incident in public.

"Sakura, it was her. I told you that. She wanted me."

Sakura brought a hand up and signaled him to cease his excuses.

"If that was the case then why didn't you stop? For us. For me."

Sai didn't prepare for this line of questioning. He had sorrow in his eyes as he looked at her. "I was weak and stupid back then. I've matured over the years and I know I wouldn't do the things that I did to you back then, now."

She showed no sign of weakness against his words. "How did you find me?" She had a sinister tone.

His eyes dilated listening to the tone of her voice. He thought that it would be best to just give her what she wanted. He sighed. "Your father made your brother Sasori tell me."

"Tch. I knew it would somehow lead back to my father." She walked away. Sai held himself from going after her. He didn't want to push his luck.

She walked outside. She saw that it was raining. She snickered because she forgot to get her umbrella that morning. She walked through the rain muttering curses as she squinted her eyes to find her on this dark rainy night. She found her black Chevy cobalt. She got in her car and sat in her seat partially drenched. She sat there and her mind was just overwhelmed by the events in the past few minutes. Her ex-fiancé had found her after 5 years. After she told him she never wanted to see him because of what he did to her.

She still remembers the look of surprise on his face when she found him under the other woman. She watched them both for a few seconds to take in what she was seeing. She heard the woman moan out her fiancé's name and that made tears gather up on her bottom eyelid. This only made what she was seeing real. She couldn't lie to herself. She said Sai's name with as much power as she could muster up at the time. As soon as she said his name she fell to her knees, Sai and the other woman looked at her with a shocked look on her face. Sai immediately threw the woman off of him. He got up with his boxers on his body since he was wearing them the whole time. Sakura looked up and him with her eyes filled with hurt.

"Why?" She asked him. He began to walk towards her. She fell back and began to crawl away from him since she didn't have the strength to stand yet.

"Sakura, I'm sorry…I love y.." he drifted off. He extended his hand and continued walking towards her ass he kept the distance between them the same.

She was now in the hallway as she looked at him now with fierceness in her eyes. "I never want to see you ever again." She stood up and ran as fast as she could.

Sakura was sobbing in her car. She hated how much she still cared for him even after all these years.

Don't let him control your life. Her thought told her.

She wiped her eyes. "You're right." She agreed with the thought. She turned on the car and turned on the heater to warm herself up. She began to drive through the streets of downtown to begin her drive home. She turned on the radio. There was a news report.

"There is still no sign of the Son of Fugaku Uchiha who had ran away from home due to a feud that went on between the two. Some have reported that the young Uchiha had told his father that he wanted nothing to do with the company and disappeared soon after."

"Well at least someone else besides me is sticking it to our asshole fathers." She huffed. "Business fathers are the worst fathers."

"Could I please have some money? I have not eaten in days." A man inside a cloak asked a man coming out of a law firm office.

He laughed. "You wish you lazy hippy scum." He walked away continuing to laugh.

The man in the cloak gritted his teeth. He usually wasn't the type to ask for handouts since he always had money coming from a very prosperous family. It was because he ran away from that family that he didn't have money. He didn't want to use his father's money. His father didn't care for his needs or what he wanted, like a father should. No, instead he forced him into doing what his father wanted him to do. Run the company. He didn't want to, he had dreams of being something other than a stern business man like his father but he shoved it all to the side for his father's approval. He use to wish he had the strength that his older brother Itachi had and tell his father that he didn't care to run the company. His father always wanted Itachi, his favorite of the two to take over after he was ready to retire but Itachi chose to choose a different career. His father and Itachi got into a giant argument and he left. His father soon looked at him and began to make him into a business man. As soon as he graduated high school his father sent him to College to get the schooling he needed to become a successful CEO. Sasuke had held his breath for his father's acknowledgement. He was ready to live his father's life that is until his father told him he would have to marry the daughter of a company owner. He refused for his own personal reasons. His father was outraged and they had a fight ending with him leaving his household.

Sasuke began to walk along the streets of downtown that were dead since it was the early morning hours. He shivered since he was soaked to the bone. He wished that it would stop raining until he found shelter under a building.

"I'll probably catch my death out here."

He thought for second of going back home.

"No, I won't go back." He walked across the street and then he heard a car coming his way. He froze like a deer would at the sight of headlights. The car began to screech as it attempted to stop to avoid hitting him but the roads were slippery and the brakes couldn't do their job well. At the last minute his body braced itself for impact. His pelvis made contact with the hood of the car. His body then rolled over the windshield then his chest fell against the pavement and his head hit the pavement with much force temporarily knocking him out.

After the news report Sakura began to think of her father. She hated him. He never thought of her as a daughter a more as a tool for his medical company. Before she was born she was destined to marry Sai for his dads company benefits from the two converging. She always wanted to please her father and so she always listened to him and never went against his word. She was always submissive to the command of her father, she never spoke up for herself but that changed when she barged into her parents' home and told her father that she wasn't going to marry Sai because of his infidelity.

Her father told her that she would be marrying him either way. She was outraged, at that moment she found the strength to fight against her father's words and that she would be done being his pawn. In some way Sai helped her change into someone with a backbone. She no longer did anything for anyone but herself.

She tightened her grip around the steering wheel. He's still trying to get me to marry him after all these years. AFTER ALL I'VE ACOMPLISHED.

"I hate him." She said to herself in the car.

"I hate hi-" She cut herself of as she tried to stop the fast moving car to a complete stop to keep herself from hitting something that appeared I front of her car. She held her breath hoping that she didn't hit what had appeared in front of her car. Then she heard as her car made contact with the thing that walked in front of her car. Her car stopped and she screamed. She was internally panicking.

Oh my god I hit something. What if it's a dog? I'll feel so bad. I'll have to take it to the vet and put it down. What if it's a person? I'm going to jail. Calm down. We'll be fine. A stronger voice in her head said.

She took a breath to calm down and opened her car door and stepped out. She felt the cold rain fall onto her clothing and shivered. She looked around and saw a person wrapped in a dark green cloak. She walked up to the person.

Damnit I killed a homeless man, I'm going to jail. And I'll the work I've done to get where I am now would be for nothing

The person stirred.

Oh thank god, he's not dead.

She squatted next the person. She took off the hood of the cloak to see a face. She saw his black hair draped over his face keeping her from making eye contact with him.

"Sir, I need to take you to a hospital. You need to be taken care of."

The cloaked man turned his face to see the girl pulling out her cellphone ready to call an ambulance.

He grabbed onto her arm and then she looked at him.

Sakura saw his pale face and dark eyes. He was young which something she didn't expect is.

He looked around her age if not younger. He seemed handsome to her. They both stayed quiet not saying a word and looked at each other.

He opened his mouth. "He'll find me, if you take me to the hospital. I can't let him find me." Then he passed out.

Sakura freaked out.

Oh my god. Someone is after him. What if they're thugs? They'll kill him in the hospital. The hospital doesn't have the best security. He needs treatment! Wait I'm practically a doctor. I could treat him.

She opened the door to the back passenger then she went back to the unconscious man and began to drag him into her car. He was heavy but not as heavy as he would be if she wasn't as physically fit as she was. He sat his body straight up and buckled his body in. She then drove off the scene of the accident. She sighed in relief.

"If anybody saw me dragging his unconscious body I would've been done for." She said lowly to herself.

The soon arrived to her apartment complex. She opened the door on the man's side. She slapped his cheek lightly. He opened his eyes. He saw green eyes staring at him. He quickly moved back and then his strength went away once he moved and he winced in pain. He was having a terrible headache.

"I would not move so fast if I was you." She looked at him. "We're here."

"The hospital?" He asked in a panic.

"No, my apartment. I can treat you as good as any other doctor at a hospital could." She said looking at the apartment complex in front of her.

He lowered his level of panic and made his way to stand on the outside of the car next to her. He winced in pain once again feeling his oblique.

"You need help to walk?" She asked.

"Hn." Was all he said and that's when she placed his arm over her shoulder and they both made their way to the apartment.

They entered her apartment which was shrouded in darkness she walked him over to the couch in the living room and he sat on it.

"I'll be right back with all my medical supplies."

She turned on the living room light s she left into the hallway. He looked around her apartment from what he could see. He thought it was small but then again he was used to living in big spaces because of the wealth that his family had. He never had to live in a small place such as this. He saw medical books scattered everywhere but if the books were picked up he'd think the place was well kept. He heard footsteps coming towards him. He looked towards the hallway and she appeared in the light. He saw hadn't seen her in lighting and had a vague idea of how she looked. He looked shocked to see her for some reason. She looked at his shocked face.

"What's wrong?"

He shook his head.

"It's nothing. You just looked familiar to someone I knew as a child."

"Oh. Who was the person?"

"It doesn't matter." He said.

"Oh. Okay." She got out the alcohol and poured it on a gauze then placed it over his cheek.

He hissed at the pain.

"What were you doing walking in the street like that?" she asked him interested in his response.

"I was looking for a place where the rain couldn't reach me."

"Yeah but shouldn't you have looked both ways before crossing the street. I mean I did have the right of way." She said inspecting his face for anymore wounds.

"Hn." Was all he replied.

"Next time you should be more careful when crossing the street, you could get killed."

"Hn."

She was getting annoyed with his response of 'hn'.

"I'm going to need you to take off your clothes."

"I don't want to."

"Do you want me to help you out here?"

"Hn."

Her vein popped in frustration.

He took off his cloak and hoodie which was drenched in water and threw it onto the floor. He looked away from her and she saw his toned body. She blushed for a second but the feeling soon subsided when she saw a bruising on his stomach. The bruising was light so she knew that he wasn't suffering any internal bleeding. She turned his body to view his back which was also muscularly toned. She would've been drooling if she wasn't too focused on doing her job. As she inspected his back blood trickled down. She found the source and origin of the blood. There was a gash that was oozing blood. The size of it was big three inches in length.

"I need to give you stitches."

"okay."

"I need to shave left side of your head."

"No."

"Then how do expect me to see what I'm doing?"

"I'll look like an idiot with a shaved portion of my hair."

"The gash is serious."

"Fine, do it."

Sakura did just that but she made it better for him and shaved it off in a stylish way instead of only having it in one spot. He winced several times when she shaved off around the area. She was very careful to not hurt him anymore than she had to.

She prepared the surgical tools to close up the gash. Sasuke wondered why she had those materials at home.

"Why do you have tools for surgery in your home?"

"I have some close friends that get into a lot of trouble."

"What do they do?"

"They're thugs."

Sasuke stayed quiet.

"Well, ex-thugs. The heat that they get now is from the gang they got out of."

"Hn." He let out a slight groan as she inserted the need into the skin on his scalp.

"Sorry."

"Hn." He said. She was getting used to the response.

It was quiet between the two for a while with his short groans breaking up the silence.

"Hey." He said.

"Yes?" She asked.

He was quiet for a while.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"My name? Uh…It's Sakura Haruno." She answered making the knot to keep the stitches closed. "Yours?" She then asked cutting the material she used to stitch the gash together.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha." He hoped that she didn't rat out his location to anyone for the sake of him not being found by his father.

"Oh. Well it's nice to meet you." She took off her gloves and held up her hand in front of him.

He was surprised by her reaction. When he usually said his last name they would treat him differently since his last name belonged to a very important family. He shook her hand.

"By the way, are you the runaway son of Fugaku?"

"Yes, why?"

"I'm just asking."

"Are you going to tel-"

She cut him off. "No, I think that what you did was right." She began to clean the mess on her table.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because you deserve to live your life and not your fathers."
