Slowly Sakura opened up her eyes, for a second she was blinded by the lovely sunlight on this beautiful Monday morning in June.
She was thinking about her dream of that night.
"Why do I dream of him… of Sasuke…? I don't get it he's gone for 2 years now after his 16th birthday and I didn't hear anything about him for a long time," she said to herself
After he left team Falcon and he came back to Konoha Sakura and Sasuke became really close. They were good friends and maybe more until Tsunade send him out on a mission. But he never came back from it. Sometimes she got a letter from him but it were always letters with just a few sentences like: I'm still okay. Or something like: Don't believe the rumours. And she hasn't had a letter since ages.
She had a hard time dealing with the lost of Sasuke she had to deal with for the second time. Fortunately all her other friends were there for her. She was really thankful towards them and she loved them with her whole heart.
She walked to her bathroom and put on the shower. She washed her hair with the sweet cherry scented shampoo.
"Why do I have these strange dreams lately" thought she. It was very confusing for her.
She walked out of the bathroom and dried herself. She put on a cute red top and a black skirt. Her black boots fit extremely fine with the skirt. She looked out her window with the pastel green curtains. The weather was too beautiful for her jounin vest so she left it on the chair where it already was. She picked up her red forehead protector and put it on like she always did. Her long waving pink hair felled right on its place. She looked in the mirror and blinked to herself.
"Looking fine today" she said to herself.
She walked out of her apartment heading for the jounin centre. She couldn't stop thinking about her dreams. Her strange and sometimes scary dreams about him... Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder she was surprised when she saw it was her old sensei.
"Heading for the Jounin centre Sakura? Let's walk together," he said to her smiling. He looked good today.
Sakura nodded and smiled back. She looked in the dark eye of the man beside her. His silver hair was still the same as it used to be and his forehead protector hides his Sharingan. He hasn't changed a bit over the years he still looks good and mysterious. In the few months after she became a chuunin she saw her old sensei differently. He wasn't her sensei anymore from that part. And now she was a jounin and she grown to see him as somebody really special. He was a friend now and she would always protect him like she would do for all her other friends. He was there for her when she needed him when Sasuke never returned. She had the feeling she could talk with him about everything and she was happy that he always listened to her. But even if they didn't talk it was good enough for those two to understand each other. He was also her favourite training partner. She trained sometimes with Naruto or Ino but with Kakashi it was different. It was challenging and fun at the same time. With Ino she still felt some rivallery although they were best friends again since Sasuke left 2 years ago. With Naruto it was hard because he loses himself often in fights and he never stopped until she almost begged for mercy. So she rather trained with Kakashi.
"My, my Sakura you were in deep thoughts. Did something bad?" Kakashi asked a bit of a joking way.
"It was just some thinking of me nothing special really," Sakura didn't knew why she lied to Kakashi. It was so unlike her to keep something for herself. But it was fine this way. It were just dreams.
At that moment Shikamaru came running toward them. He seemed like he was in a hurry. He arrived with a red head and out of breath.
"Sakura! The Hokage asked if you could come to Konoha's hospital right now," said Shikamaru still out of breath.
"But why Shikamaru? Didn't she say anything?"
"Only that she needed your abilities but please hurry up now!"
Sakura stood there for a sec thinking about what could've happened. Probably an operation to do or so. But Tsunade could perform most of it herself right?
"Sakura hurry up you don't want to make Tsunade pissed," said Kakashi with a smiling sparkling in his dark eye.
"Alright then. Hey what about some training later in the evening. I'd rather train in the evening if it's a lower temperature than this heat . So what about it Kakashi?"
"See you around 19:00 at the river. Training field 3b. Hurry up now."
Sakura smiled and Shikamaru nodded. Then she turned around and ran towards the hospital. She was still wondering why Tsunade needed her so badly. She knew her healing abilities grown a lot and even her Ninjutsu tactics were better than ever thanks to the training with Kakashi and Naruto she had but if it was about one of those reasons Tsunade could have called an ANBU to help her.
Finally she arrived at Konoha's hospital. When she walked through the doors Tsunade already run toward her.
"Sakura why the hell did it took so long hurry up now!" yelled Tsunade to her while she pulled Sakura with her.
"Tsunade-sama, why are you in such a hurry and why did you needed me so badly?" Sakura asked a bit shocked by the reaction of her master.
"You'll see when we get their hurry up now!"
The two women ran upstairs to the 5th floor. Tsunade opened a door.
"This is what I needed you for he wouldn't be treated by someone else besides you and me Sakura but I can't treat him alone and he is one of our best ninja's."
Sakura's eyes became really big and she was shocked when she saw the person laying there in a bed. She didn't knew what to say. Slowly she walked to the person in the large bed. He was on the oxygen machine and he looked heavily wounded.
"He passed out again sometimes he wakes up and than he passes out again but he only want to speak against you Sakura," said Tsunade to her.
Sakura went with her hand through his black hair. "Lee… what happened with you? You look so bad," she whispered. She grabbed the water and a tissue from the desk next to him. She began to clean his face, which was filled with dried blood.
"For how long is he here Tsunade?" asked she.
"He's here since 2 hours ago that is when a group ANBU members found him in this condition. He woke up an hour ago but he only said your name and that he only wanted to speak with you and then he passed out again," and Tsunade sighed for a second.
"Why didn't you heal him already Tsunade?"
"Something is denying my healing so I hoped it would let you heal him. I can't even figure out what could've happened with him…"
Sakura looked at her master. Was she kidding? Tsunade could heal almost anything and anyone so why couldn't she heal Lee? And if Tsunade wasn't able to heal him how could she possibly heal Lee?!
At that moment the door went open with a loud bang. A guy with a green suit and black hair ran into the room. He was totally out of breath and he had some scratches on his face and he looked a little dirty. Sakura knew immediately who he was. The only person who could act so hysterically when Lee was in the hospital and he was also one of her jounin friends.
"Gai, chill out a bit" said Sakura while she laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Sakura, is he gonna be okay? I heard the news and came here right after my mission."
"Yeah, we can see that. I don't know if he's going to be okay I don't now how bad his injuries are but it doesn't look really good. Tsunade couldn't heal him and he only wants to talk against me. He woke up just an hour ago but he's unconscious again."
"Please, Sakura heal him! Heal his youth! If he doesn't make I don't now what to do," said Gai with a cry in his voice.
"Sakura, you begin with treating Lee and I'll take Gai with me so you can work concentrated" said Tsunade,
"But I won't leave my old student here he needs me" said Gai almost crying
"Let Sakura do her work and you'll do yours Gai!" said Tsunade strand.
Then they walked out the room, Gai almost crying. Sakura turned her body to Lee again. She was checking if he had any broken bones but he didn't. He had a high fever and a big wound in his waist. It was infected pretty bad but Tsunade already cleaned and stitched it. Sakura saw it was probably a wound that he got when he was stabbed with a kunai by someone.
Sakura decided that she had to heal his big wound first maybe the fever would go down than. She formed the seals to heal a wound and his wound healed a bit. Than she wrapped the bandage around his body again. Unfortunately it cost a lot of chakra to heal someone with such a deep and big wound. She formed the seals to control the fever a bit and then she was already out of her chakra. That didn't mean anything good because she and Kakashi wanted to do some training and then she needed her chakra. But Lee was way more important and if it was necessary she would stay here all night.
She sat down with Lee in case he woke up and she wanted to talk to him. And maybe some other people will come to visit him.
Sakura's throat felt a little dry. She felt a bit thirsty of the healing. And she was tired too. She looked at Lee and he was peacefully asleep. It wouldn't hurt if she went down for some strong coffee.
She walked out of the room toward the stairs and she walked down. She felt a bit drowsy because she used up a bit too much of her chakra.
When she came on the first floor she walked to the little restaurant and bought some strong coffee.
She walked upstairs again and went into Lee's room. When she opened the door she saw someone sitting in there. She looked at the blonde guy and walked to him.
"Naruto! It surprises me to see you here. What brings you here?"
"I heard the news about fuzzy eyebrows and wanted to check him."
"But how do you know so soon? I'm here since… I guess 2 hours and Tsunade only told me and Gai even Shikamaru who came to get me didn't knew what's wrong."
"Well, I saw Gai running while he was almost crying when I wanted to get some breakfast. I heard him saying something about Lee, the hospital and you so I went to the hospital after my ramen and well… here I am. But I'm going in about a halve hour. I'm meeting Hinata."
Sakura remembered it again now. Hinata and Naruto were a couple. They were dating for a time and now they're officially a couple. Sakura was happy for them. She liked Hinata and she was a fine girl. Naruto was treating her good and they were happy together. And she was happy that Naruto wasn't after her anymore. After Hinata and Naruto became a couple she became good friends with Naruto. Better than they ever were. And they both were also there for her when she needed them.
"I see, Naruto could you do something for me?
"For you always," he said with a smile
"Could you go and see Kakashi and say I can't make it to training because of Lee and that I'm really sorry?"
"Of course I can Sakura. Well, I'll get going now if you need anything you know where to find me," He looked at Lee "And make sure he'll gets better."
"I'll do my best Naruto, thank you. Say hi to Hinata for me!"
Naruto walked out the door and before he closed the door he waved to her.
Sakura took a zip of her coffee and sat down next to Lee. She looked at him and got a bad feeling about all this.
She heard the door open and a nurse came in. She checked the oxygen machine and then she turned herself to Sakura.
"Miss Sakura, would you like to stay here tonight? I had to ask you that from the Hokage"
"Yeah I'll stay here tonight I guess…," she said to the brunette nurse in front of her.
"I'll bring a bed here for you Miss Sakura. With some of the best pillows!"
The nurse walked out the room and came a few minutes later back with a bed for Sakura.
Sakura thanked the nurse and sat down on the bed. She looked at the clock it was 13:46. She had to stay here the rest of the day and night. She became a little bored. She sighed, Lee was sleeping and probably he wouldn't wake up today and there was nobody else here to talk to.
She took another zip of her coffee and thought about what she was going to do now.
She put the cup on a desk and looked at Lee's wound. His wound was still bleeding a bit but she didn't have to change the bandages yet. Sakura sighed, she really didn't knew what to do next. She walked to the window and looked through it. She saw some academy kids and some old people but nobody she knew. Suddenly she felt another presence in the room. She turned around and saw somebody she did knew. She looked at the good looking man with the silver hair.
"I see, so Naruto already told you right?"
"Naruto? Didn't see him today what did he have to told me then?"
"Oh, ehm, never mind not important but I really want to know what brings you here then…," asked Sakura with a lot of curiosity.
"Well… Tsunade called me and she told me about what happened with Lee and because she didn't knew what happened she send me to protect him," Kakashi answered. His voice sound like it was the hardest S-rank mission he'd ever done.
"She knew that I was here! I mean, come on even Konohamaru can protect somebody who's asleep and in a hospital!" reacted Sakura insulted.
"Yeah, but she also said that you could use some company and there were no missions for me today neither so that's what brings me here."
Sakura smiled. Tsunade knew her way to good in all those years now. She smiled and looked out the window again. Kakashi walked to her and stood next to her. Sakura looked at the silver haired man. He looked back and smiled. She felt a little embarrassed that he caught her while she looked at him. She looked at the clock which said it was 13:57. She sighed. But at least she had some nice company now.
The door went open and the nurse came in with new bag of liquid for Lee's infuse. She clipped it on the infuse and than looked at Sakura and Kakashi.
"Oh my,.. Kakashi what are you doing here?" asked the nurse a little amazed.
"Ami…oh…long time no see how are you doing?" replied Kakashi charming as always.
"Since you left that morning not as good as that night," said the nurse flirty
Sakura looked at the young nurse with her sparkling brown eyes and brown hair with blond highlights tied back in a ponytail and didn't knew what to say or to think. She looked at Kakashi who his own cool self. But when she looked better she could see he was a little shocked and seemed to didn't control the situation.
Kakashi walked to the nurse and smiled nervously to her.
"Yeah that was something right…you're looking good," he complimented her.
"Thank you. So what actually brings you here?" replied the nurse called Ami.
"I'm on a mission, I have to protect this boy and I'm the company of this girl," and he nodded to Sakura.
"I see… so is she your girlfriend or something?" Ami looked at Sakura with a look so jealous that Sakura sniggered. Sakura understood the situation but luckily she thought up a sneaky plan. Kakashi better had to be really happy that she was here.
"Yes, I am indeed. We're together for like… Baby how long are we together now?" said Sakura while she walked to Kakashi and stood next to him. She gave him a wink and he understood what she was doing and put an arm around her waist.
"We're together for almost 2 months now and we're super happy with each other!" he exaggerated it more.
Ami looked really shocked and tears filled her eyes. She didn't knew where to look.
"Okay that's really nice, but I must get going there are a lot of other patients who deserve my attention."
Her eyes gained an angry look and she wanted to walk out of the door. Her hand wanted to grab the doorknob but it stopped. With angry passes she walked to Kakashi and hit him right in the face.
"And that was for never calling me back!!" and then she walked away.
Kakashi looked at Sakura who, in the mean time, was laughing really hard. He smiled too, her plan had worked. Ami was gone very fast although he had to be slapped in the face for that. Sakura was really a smart girl and it was fun act something like this with her..
"That turned out great! Her face was so funny," he laughed while thinking back.
"She believed us! It was really funny yeah, but we have some kind of problem now," said Sakura
"Like what?" replied Kakashi
"Well… she's the only nurse around here and we need an extra bed for you because I know you'll stay with me tonight but she won't make a step in this room unless it's for Lee."
"Than I just sleep with you in one bed right? I mean it's no big deal or something right?" said Kakashi and he blinked to her.
Sakura sighed, she liked the idea of sleeping with Kakashi for some odd reason. But it felt wrong too. And she probably didn't even sleep at all…
"We'll see,…" said Sakura "We'll see."
