The Realationship between two human must stay superficial.
Because if they fall for each other, they will make immeasurable damage.
Leo Lehmann, Quartett by Claudia.
Chapter I. Moments
There exist moments, in which you are not able to tell who's the victim, and whos the assassin.
Like it had been with Naruto, who was always weaker than the Uchiha, it was obvious.
Untill Kyuubis Power came into the fights, it was the time when Naruto had the command, it was obvious.
Then, there was again a change because of Orochimarus seal - the Uzumaki was obviously the underdog.
How will it be in a few years?
Sakura never could tell who the stronger boy was, it seemed like it dependet on natures mood who would win, it never was a clear line between them or something like that.
(Maybe when they just came from the academy, because back then it was clearly Sasuke, but well...)
Just one thing was sure, after the fights she would have to take care of the mess.
Okay, the medic wouldn't call it this way, she liked them both, but sometimes it was just depressing, or she thought she would go insane.
But anyhow, she had just to heal Naruto, since Sasuke went like a dog to the snake.
Well, if the pink haired girl was honest, the 17 year old was glad to have to deal with just one of this idiots, the wounds where always hard to heal, internal and serious.
A smile crept slowly over her features as she remembered her blond haired friend. Without Kyuubis healing abilitys, the ozean blue eyed boy would be dead a few times already.
Sakura closed her eyes for a moment, and let her hand ran through soft pink locks as she came back to the roots of her thoughts, while a mute sight escaped her rose lips.
Everybody in Konoha celebrated the day, when the Leader of the Akatsuki was captured. Jiraiya nearly lost his life in this task, she could tell because Sakura had to heal him there on the battlefield, terrible wounds, and lots of death were there all over, a moment it just scared her almost out of her mind.
So much Ninjas had been there and fought, alone against one man.
Hundret? Thousend? Million? It was frightening to see so much power just in one body.
And the 17 year old wasn't sure if he had shown his ability to them, the girl doubted it because the male Sannin once told her and Tsunade that the Akatsuki Leader had a blood limit, but she hadnt seen him using anything like this – but why should he hold back?
Anyhow, the Leader of the Akatsuki was seriously injured befor the battle even began, that's what shocked her the most about the whole situation.
Half of the Ninjas in whole Konoha ( and there were much Suna Ninjas there too) died during this one fucking battle and the enemy was barely injured during this task (just the wounds he had had before where terrible).
This wouldnt have been a problem if he would have been executed as soon as he came to Konoha... but wasn't it insane to think, that Konoha could controll the orange haired man now?
Just because they 'captured' him?
Emerald sleepy eyes glanced at the door, before the woman deeply inhaled, and few seconds later, exhaled.
Tsunade Shishou called her, it was 3:24 in the morning, and asked her to come. Now.
For the Haruno a hard task, because of the hard hospital work till midnight, she never got enough sleep for her body, and she fought with half Konoha against the Akatsuki Leader just 2 days ago and needet to recover, as Sakura knocked at the door and a serious "Come in" allowed the teen to enter.
The big door opened noisely and the pink haired lady walked into the room, wondering what was wrong.
And she wanted a very, very good excuse for killing her sleeping time.
Or I'll destroy every alcoholic store in Konoha and every bottle wich would be imported will dissappear... this is the right punishment for Tsunade, SHANARRO!!!
Sounds good...
HELL YEAH!
But when the young medic looked at her Sensei, she knew it was something serious because the Hokage didn't looked often that worried.
"Tsunade Shishou? What's wrong?" her voice was quiet but strong and cut clearly through the uneasy silence.
After a few more moments, in which the older woman sighed, the blond took a deep breath and looked up at her pupil when she answered.
"Well… I will talk to you directly. Since we always had been a peacfull country, and everybody treated the Hokage with respect, we didn't need a prison or something like that. Neither do we have rooms with high security and… well how shall I say it.
Since Ikibi is in Suna to intorrigate (?) a mass murder we cant even threat him like I wished we could, because we just don't know how to. He is guardet 24 hours a day from the best ANBU I have.
He hadnt done anything now, like attacking the ANBU or trying to escape. But he didn't answer any question or ate any food, hell this guy even refused to drink water. To come to the point, I want you to force him to eat and to drink. With your medical skills you know how to do it, but I don't have neither the nerve nor the time to do this.
Sakura this is a S-Class 'mission' and you will get free from everything else and I will pay you fair enough.
You are not allowed to refuse this mission."
The blonde woman looked right into smaragd eyes which stared back in blank disbelieve.
Everyone in Konoha knew what Sakura thought of having the head of the Akatsuki here, when the rest of them is still free and she wasn't convinced (überzeugt?) that this Country was really strong enough to hold the Leader down… when he really wants to break free. (But the last part isnt known by anyone, or she would be a 'traitor')
"Hokage – Sama, you mean that I have to spend my whole day, for time unknown, with the Leader of the Organisation named Akatsuki which members are only S-Class criminals and surely try hard to get him back? "
"Yeah. And you should watch, for your own good, that his Chakra levels remind low, and don't worry, there will be two ANBU with you all the time."
"Two? TWO ANBU WHEN PEIN TOOK HALF OF OUR NINJAS DOWN IN A CRITICAL STATE? Tsunade… argh!"
Green eyes shut tight , Sakura couldn't believe what she heard. How careless was her Shishou?
Did the blond woman really think that two ANBU would be any hindrance for this man? Killer? Murderer? Fucking S-Class criminal?
"Don't forget with whom you speak, Haruno. I decidet this way, and you will do this. From now till unknown."
Hazel brown eyes closed, as the door opened again and an ANBU waved Sakura to come, which, with a loud sigh, the teen obediently did.
Sakura shut the door, much more louder than it could have been.
It was 4:32 right now as she stared at the white mask from the higher Ranked Person.
With the cloves on her hands, she always wore them, the young lady rubbed her tempels to sooth the headache she felt, as she glanced past the Konoha man, but saw nothing.
"He's with my Partner now, we cant take him around through the town like he would be a vistior." The ANBU explained, and she just nodded.
"Okay, then take me to him…" she gulped slightly.
Sakura trained since she was 13, really hard, and was often faced with death and cruelsome things. She never showed fear, neither had she feared an enemy since she trained with her Shishou.
Death is something natural. And even if she felt pain before, it has to end one day.
But now, no, since the day she saw him fight… her spine started to shiver whenever she thought of this man.
But Sakura would be damned if she'd show this anyone.
HELL YEAH, YOUR GONNA BEAT THEM! SHANARRO!
Thanks inner.
"Sure." Was the only thing he said anymore, he just waved again to mention that she should follow, and jumped out of the next window.
A cold breeze blew through her hair and let her body shiver slightly, (that's what she told herself) as Sakura asked the adult if she could get some things from her home.
He stared a moment back and Sakura nearly slipped off of the rooftop, when she heard him say:"You don't need to get some things, because we will stay in your home. For now."
Wow. Life is just fucking adorable. What had she done wrong? What?
Maybe thats the punishment for letting your parents die?
Hey, shouldnt you stay on my side?
You asked...
Thanks a bunch, asshole.
You'r welcome Idiot.
After this nice conversation, the Haruno run straight to her home with the ANBU and climbed through a open window. (she didn't know why she should bother to open the door)
The pink haired girl closed her eyes for a moment as she switched the light on in the living room/kitchen she had.
"…Okay and when am I allowed to sleep? I think youll get a guard swtich but whats with me?"
"Make him eat or/and drink something and you can sleep. We don't need you often, but you should be there emideatly when we need your skills. That's all."
Sakura nodded again, asking herself where the ANBU and the Leader of the Akatsuki (she didn't want to call his name…was to personal) were in the moment because she had only her bedroom and the bathroom, and she couldn't see anyone in the living roomig kitchen.
The ANBU with the mask of a bird guided her into her own bedroom, didn't even knocked at the door.
(Well his partner would already know because of the Chakra, if the Leader sensed it, she didn't know)
And there, on her little bedside table two for her unknown men, played chess. Yosh, why cant she just die from a heart attacke?
"The medic is here-" "Yeah and I have a name you know?" Fuck. She instinctly opened her mouth. But hey, everyone would be pissed if you'd be called 'medic'!
Obviously was the bird ANBU not very happy about her shout either, but he grunted a nodd.
"Here the medic with the name Sakura Haruno is here."
Wow, so much enthusiasmic!
We should kick his ass for this.
Hey calm down, he wants to be cool infront of his friend and the leader.
Fuck this shit.
You really are in a very good mood, arent you?
Argh, leave me alone and see how you can stay alive, outer. Wish ya luck!
Thanks a lot...
"Hey…" the girl said into the silence witch greeted her.
No response. Really, what could she wish more for?
"Okay, seems like im stuck with mute people, but can you open your mouth to answer if you want tee to drink?"
Was she such an rude asshole without her noticing, or did she just hide her fear beneath this harsh words?
She really didnt want to know.
The Anbu behind her snorted but negated, while the other one nodded a 'One for me please' (he was nice! Woot!) and the third answered with the muteness of her room.
Well, no answer is an answer, especially for her and so she went out to flee from then, into the kitchen.
The three men where now in her bedroom… wow Ino would be so envious!
(Well if she knew who they were then maybe not, but who cares)
When Sakura stood in front of her machine, she thought about the male human in this Apartment.
The one with the bird mask had darkbrown hair, a very deep voice and he was very tall. The importantest thing of all was that he wasn't nice, he was rude.
Then the other ANBU he got the mask of a wolfe. (She thought that that's the reason he was so friendly, it was to trick her but this could be paranoia too)
Anyhow, he had black hair in a low ponytail and reached barely his shoulders, the man was (in the moment) nice.
And then the last person… well she obviousli did everything not to look at him so she don't know how he looked exactly. But the bright orange hair caught her emerald eyes from the first moment.
And since she saw him in battle, she knew about his eyes in the color like molden quicksliver with the circles in them.
A sigh escaped her pale lips, she was exhausted and drained, as the machine the tee cooked.
The short beep told the 17 year old to take the cups and fill in the thee. Three at all, for her, the wolfy, and the Killer.
On a tablett she placed the cups, sugar and milk since she don't know what they would like, and entered, bacause the door wasn't fully closed, easily her room.
They two hadnt finished their game yet, but wolfy took the tee with a small 'thank you', she could hear the smile on his lips. As she bend down to make it easier for the Akatsuki to take the cup, he didn't even spare a glance.
"Hey, I really don't care if you don't talk but youd do me a favor if you just drink this damned tee. I don't want to force you, got it?"
Well... good way to make friends! Or to hide your fear...
Oh, just shut it, I thought you'd be gone!
That was when he looked at Sakura, with this dead eyes. She wanted to run away, scream the hell out of her body or just cover underneath a blanken but didn't do one of this. Cold and frozen smaragds stared just back without a sign of fear or hesitation. After a while, what seemed like an enterny, she told him that she didn't poisened it, with an annoyed sigh like she told a five year old that she would just wash his teddy bear and not throw it away. But afterwards he faced her full and said in an emotionlessvoice:"Prove it."
Frist, she was stunned. That he said anything, and that what he said. "How shall I prove it if I could have the antidote?" it came without thinking out of her mouth, and she cursed inwardly just a second after her bubbling. She could have him made it drink without using Charka! Damn…damn her tounge! Sakura bit down her lower lip without noticing and faced the ringed eyes one more, but the man had turned away, his body vibrated…Sakuras mout fell nearly open, he laughed?!
Why shouldnt he? After all Pein is just a human too...
Point.
Wait, did you call him 'Pein'?
"Eh… just take the cup and drink it." The girl mumbled with a slight red tinting her cheeks as she put the cup on the lilte table, stood up and went to her bed. (She left the sugar by the men, she didn't wanted this sweet unhealthy thing to kill the taste of the good tee) and leaned her back at the wall, three pair of eyes watching every move.
The Chuunin ignored it and drank peacefully the hot liquid while she hoped that the Akatsuki drank something.
When she cracked an eye open, she was very glad that he did and fell without knowing after this satisfaction, asleep.
"…She really fell asleep, did she?"
"Yeah… seems so."
"…"
"But hey, Tsunade - Sama is sometimes a monster. I heard that Mrs. Haruno is the real head of the Hospital, and has to do all the work and the Hokage gets all the praise."
"Rumors don't have to be true, you know?"
"…Your really dislike her, don't you?"
"…"
"Wolfy? Birdy?" she called out with a soft smooth voice, but neither of them gave a reply.
A breath, she didnt know she had hold, came out of her lungs and she closed her eyes for a moment while she threw the bedsheet to the side and got up.
She had recognised it before the fight against Konoha, but she had to be sure if she was right what cost its price.
Because it wasnt that easy, to create such a strong Sleeping Jutsu und use it so good that two ANBU members fell for it and farce them to sleep a long time.
And she didnt count the Akatsuki Leader now, she doubted but hoped that he fell for it too.
She cracked the door open, and enterd the living room where the couch lay and the Killer on it, he seemed to sleep.
Green eyes got serouis as she gulped a few times, and went a little bit trembeling to the Kirigakure missing Ninja, kneeled down and pushed soft the sheets aside, the pinkett let her equipment next to her on the sofa.
So, get a hold on yourself! You already saw many men, and everything what they have because of operations or examinations! So stop beeing so nervous and concentrate! A little bit nervousety is allowed because he's a killer but nothing more!
Aww, dont be too hard to yourself sweety, i can understand you! Such a nice body,i would shiver too!
And dont come with this Murder shit, every Ninja is a Killer, even you murdered already.
...Go away...
Sakura decided to start finally, so she coud force her inner away, she put her soft hands on either of his sides and shoved the t-shirt higher, his abdomen came inot view -
Kya! Nice six-pack! And this navel piercing... 100 percent positive : HAWT!
when she lifted him up a little, to free his back, she pushed the clothing up to his collarbone.
OH MY GOD, he even has piercing on his nipples, thats SO sexy!
DAMNIT JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH, I WANT TO WORK!
Pff... as if you dont think that he's hot...
Sometimes, just sometimes, she hated her inner.
And like she expected, the thing her inner simply ignored, his well formed body was coverd with wounds.
Okay, there were just two, but this two were serious.
A hole, as big as a fist, which was just a little bit healed so he wont die, and a scar from his left shoulder to his right hipbone ruined the perfect picture of the, expect the piercing, scareless body.
Does Tsunade think that she could controll hin when she just doesnt heal this wound? Doesnt she believe me? I told her he got this wound before the battle against Konoha! ...Whatever. I am a medic, and i cant just sit and watch him through the day when hes injured like this.
Without a second thought, she placed one hand on his warm skin, the other hand next to her first, and green chakra appeared glowing and she started to take care of the hole, Sakura healed his organs and because the Akatsuki didnt get any medical care, she had to take care of the festering.
The worse thing, the 17 year old had to reopen his wound, because the lazy medic who 'healed' his wound, didnt thought of rebilding the vital organs fully, or the wall from the tummy which keeps the organs inside. They would pop out after a while, yeah such work is just adorable.
But i shouldnt heal everything right now, this would be way too obvouis.
After 5 minutes Sakura decided that she did enough by this wound (The vital organs where completely healed and the tummy wall was nearly closed), and faced the scar. When she cleaned the dry blood off of his body, she caressed the scar from his shoulder to his hipbone, followed with her fingertips the wound, up and down, her Chakra healing the flesh step after step.
I think i can give him painkiller for the whole day, it wont hurt
The teen thought, she pressed down a little harder while she ran above his tense skin... the soft moan she heared from the deaph of his throat made her freeze in her movings.
Was he awake?
Silence was heard, Pein didnt do anything.
Shit this was hot...
What? No that was because of the pain -
You silly know exactly that you gave him painkiller bevore you even started to heal him!
With a slight pink on her cheeks, Sakura stroke again over his skin, but not above the wound but from his right shoulder over his chest downward over his sixpack to his hipbone - she earned the same result as before, just a little louder than before, the girl immediately took her hand back, stood hastily and shakily up and stumbled a few feets backwards.
What in all seven hells hell was she doing?
You FINALLY start to enjoy life!
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... I have to dress him ... ... ...
YAY!
Sakuras luck, that all three men really were asleep while she healed Pein...
Flashback no Jutsu!
Something soft stroke against his chest, but he felt dizzy and wasnt able to open his eyes, the fact that the touch felt just too good to make it stop maybe helped him to remind his tired eyes closed. What if he opened his greyish eyes, the soft warm thing would go away? So why should he make it obvious that he was awake?...If he was awake, the Akatsuki wasnt sure... maybe this was just a good dream, yeah, who would dare to touch him? Would be brave enough? Or strong enough so he wouldn recognise?
This time the soft thing pressed harder onto his body, it was like fire dancing on the skin, and bevor he could controll himself, a deep vibrating sound came up from the depths of his throat, and like he had feared, the touch was gone.
A few moments later, which seemed like an eternity the soft feeling came back, but this time it went from his neck above his Chest slowly over his abdomen till it reached his hipbone again, but even more tense, so that in his alf awake, half sleeping state hje neither wanted, nor could hold his moan back, and sadly the feeling was gone again.
After some time, when nothing came anymore, he drifted, dissapointed, back in deep slumber, never knowing what really happened this night.
oOooOooOooOooOo
Does a own word exist for 'tummy wall?' I wasnt able to find a translation... i'd be glad if someone would tell me.
Anyhow, please read and review...
