*Beep*beep*beep*, the alarm clock sounded in her ear. As she rolled over to see the time her long blue hair followed behind her. 3:00am. Hinata picked herself up, she was to get ready for a brand new day of working as a nurse at Konoha Hospital. She had been there for over three years now and still working with the same people. "Today is the day I will talk with him, and today I will walk with him." She thought to herself determined to finally speak to one that had kept her in Kohona this entire time. She moved to different places, growing up in Suna and moving to Kumo to start college, and finally moving to Kohona to finish school and ultimately a career. Hinata slid her red scrub top on and pulled her hair up into a ponytail keeping two parts down to frame her face.

As she looked in the mirror she smiled as to practice for the man she so deeply admired. With confidence she looked at the clock, 3:30am. Time to leave, even at 4:00am the parking garage is full and she would need to drive around to find a parking spot. In her car, she thought of the day she may have. Hinata gets along well with her co-workers; she would even call them friends. She is the quietest of them all. Sakura, Ino and, her best friend, Tenten, all were working the same shifts as Hinata. Each of the girls had somewhat of a crush on one of the Cardiologist they worked for, but who Hinata was secretly in love with was a different one. It seemed everyone knew, except him.

*bzzzz*bzzzz* As Hinata pulled into a parking space, her phone went off. It was a text from Temari, her best friend from Suna. 'I got the time off! I'm so excited to see you girlie, this vacation is much needed. Please don't tell Shikamaru, I want to surprise him! ' Hinata got a warm feeling in her heart; she hadn't seen her friend in over six months. 'That's great your brother finally let you off! I'm excited too! But I have to get to work. I'll text u later tonight.' 'Me too, 5:00am comes too early here' (Temari was an hour ahead.) Hinata stepped out of her car with her bag filled with her lunch, extra scrubs and other things she may need for the 12 hour shift. She walked through the automatic sliding door and into the hallways of the hospital she had come so well to know. She got a little depressed to know that her friend would be coming at the end of the month, but she wouldn't have time off herself. But at the same time, she knew she would be so happy to know her friend would be close again. Temari always gave Hinata a vibe of overwhelming confidence. Temari was beautiful and self-confident and could do everything so well. She arrived on the 3rd Floor, Cardiac

"Hey Hinata, morning", Hinata looked up and saw her boss, Shikamaru. He was the charge nurse on the cardio floor, and also, Temari's boyfriend of almost 3 months. Shikamaru was a lazy person with no motivation until it came to saving a patient. Hinata still wondered how he got through med school. Apparently, he was well on his way to become a doctor and then decided to quit and just be a Registered Nurse instead. He would say it was such troublesome years of school. Shikamaru had the respect of all the doctors and most of the 'higher ups' at the hospitals. The people who didn't respect him just overlooked his genius and looked down on his laziness. "Morning Shikamaru", she replied. "Are there still 26 patients on the floor?" "No, sigh, 32", He replied in a voice of distain. "So that means 16 rooms with 2 patients in each so each of you will have four rooms eight patients. Here's your room numbers, and you're gonna be working with Dr. Uchiha and Dr. Hyuuga. Dr. Uchiha has been here since 7 last night and Dr. Hyuuga since 7 yesterday morning." "Ok, thanks Shikamaru".

"Why does she always get to work with Sasuke?" A voice behind her said sarcastically, it was Ino. Ino and Sakura had walked in behind her. "Well, Hinata works best with him, whereas you and Sakura just stare at him and don't get anything done." Shikamaru said snidely and laughed. "Besides, if I give Ino the task, Sakura would get mad and vise versa. It's just too troublesome." Ino and Sakura glared at each other and giggled. Tenten chimed in "Very true for you two. So, Shikamaru, who will I be working with?" "You'll be working with Dr. Hyuuga and Dr. Uchiha as well, rooms 310 through 313." "WAIT, why does she get to work with her boyfriend?!" Sakura almost yelled. "Ugh, do I need to explain this again? You know Neji and Tenten work well with each other." Shikamaru groaned. "How troublesome, why do I have to work with a bunch of girls."

"Because you're the only one we trust with the task on this floor. This is the floor with the most female nurses. And the cardio floor is the only one with a male charge nurse that doesn't try to sleep with every one of the female nurses." Dr. Tsunade Senji came from what seemed out of nowhere. She was the dean of medicine for the hospital and pretty much ran things. She held Shikamaru in a very high respect. She smiled, "I just wanted to check up on everything to make sure everyone's getting along ok. And to give you these;" Tsunade handed the nurses each a form. "The board wants to know if people are working well with each other and to get an idea if there is any people that should be let go and replaced. Hopefully, we won't have that problem. We are already understaffed on this floor. Which reminds me, I'll be hiring more nurses this month. The forms are due at the end of the next month." She stated as she walked to elevator.

Hinata looked at the employee analysis form, an easy thing to fill out. She put it in her bag and all the girls headed to the faculty room. Hinata put her bag into her locker and locked it up. She looked at Sakura and smiled, Hinata knew the doctor she was to be working with was Sakura's love. Sakura smiled back and they walked out of the room together. "S-so, you and Ino will be working with Dr. Inuzuka and Dr. Uzumaki again today?" Hinata asked Sakura. Sakura rolled her eyes, "yea, Naruto is so annoying. Always talking about how one day he'll be dean of medicine and how it's the best doctors to get the job." "Hehe" Hinata giggled and thought to herself if she had that much determination she would be able to achieve her dream of being the Head charge nurse, the one ahead all the floors' charge nurse. Hinata blurted: "Well, he is a great doctor, just as good as Dr. Uchiha or Neji or even Dr. Inuzuka." Ino jumped up to Sakura and Hinata "No way, Sasuke is the best doctor, way better than that knucklehead Naruto." Both Sakura and Ino laughed.

"What about Naruto?" a voice said, Sakura and Ino gasped and chuckled nervously as Dr. Sasuke Uchiha and Dr. Neji Hyuuga stopped in front of them. Neji rolled his eyes, "hmph". Neji kept walking and met up with Tenten and they walked into a patient room 310 together. Sasuke looked at Ino and Sakura "You both do realize that he is my best friend right, I really can't stand when people bad mouth my friend." Ino and Sakura, both looked down and said sorry. "Alright, Hinata," Sasuke turned his attention, "let's get going, we have more important things to deal with. The charts from yesterday haven't changed, but have you looked over the new charts yet?" "No, I've just arrived." "That's fine you can read it as we go along. First room, 317 and we'll work our way to 314, then I'll met up with Tenten and you can then work with Neji the other way."
