The Doctors Apprentice- Chapter #1

It was a cool summer day. The birds were singing in the trees and the sun shone through the window of Doctor Uchiha Sasuke's office. He hated days like those, because he could never enjoy them. He was far too busy being the top doctor in the country. He had raven hair that framed his fair complexion perfectly, and onyx eyes that were very sensitive to light, which says a lot about the amount of daylight he actually gets to see. He cringed and pulled the curtains shut.

An advantage of his superior status was that his office was considerably large; there was a PC on the far left corner of the room on a wooden desk, a small sink, a cabinet just for pills, a spare desk on the side and of course, his work station.

He was actually really busy, so busy that he had just hired an intern. She was a college student, about a year younger than him. He had read her files through thoroughly and it clearly stated that she was regularly punctual, reliable and intellectual. That (and the fact she was hot) was why he had chosen her. But, to his immense annoyance, it was already lunch and she was three hours late. "Haruno Sakura…" he muttered darkly.

Far off in another city was Haruno Sakura, Doctor Uchiha's intern, stuck at the subway.

She really had no idea how she reached in this particular city here, she was supposed to be at work, as we know, but she just got lost in all the subway confusion.

Well, served her right for taking directions from the old hippie looking guy at the boarding station.

Sakura had soft, straight pink tresses that went down to her mid-back where it curved outwards slightly, and sea green orbs. She wore a white flowing dress with blue and green flowers on it, with a blue silk jacket.

She checked the time, 12 o' clock noon. She was three whole hours late for her first day of work.

How did I end up in this position? she mourned to herself.

Come on Sakura, pick yourself up!her inner ordered. You will get to work! Better late than never!

Sasuke sighed, five and a half bloody hours late? She only was supposed to work for eight. But at the rate this was going, by the time she arrived, her working hours would be done. Sasuke was about to call the sectary that was down stairs and cancel the appointment when the pinkette burst through the door in a rush.

"I'm so sorry I'm late!" Sakura apologized "I got lost in the city and-"

"Hn. Just begin."

"…O-okay then, my name's Haruno Sakura, a student at Konoha University of Medical Arts, I'm top in my class and I specialize in blood molecules."

"Are you normally this late?"

She found the intense dark pools staring into hers very distracting.

"Oh no! Very punctual! I was just stuck at the subway today, that's all!"

"Alright, you can begin tomorrow then."

"I'll make up for my five and a half hours! I promise!"

"…Hn."

The next day, Sakura woke up early. She was supposed to arrive to work at nine sharp, but since she had five and a half hours to make up for, she planned on leaving at six thirty. So, she woke at five and left by the aforementioned time.

So, Sakura was at the office by seven, only to be greeted by a grumpy boss who did nothing to recognise her early arrival, he probably expected it after she practically gave him her oath the day before.

"Sit by the spare desk, and analyze these documents, later today we will be performing a surgery on a civilian that needs water pumped out of his lungs." He instructed. Sakura was speechless for a few seconds, but eventually muttered a quiet "Okay," took the papers and sat.

WHAT DOES HE MEAN 'PUMP WATER OUT OF A CIVILIANS LUNGS?!

She was a blood molecule specialist, not an internal doctor! Well, she knew the basics, but she didn't know much! She sighed under her breath, there was nothing she could do about it, and got to work.

The papers stated that a fifteen year old boy named Tadase was out in the ocean with his family, a tidal wave passed and he got the worst of it, he claims to have inhaled water into his lungs, but not enough to make it an emergency case. Sakura sighed in relief. She could treat this internal situation.

She hit the books with a cherry smile plastered against her face.

Sasuke was downright aggravated.

He was tired, weary, couldn't remember the last proper meal he had, had a lot of work and also a damn lot of pesky patients trying to pester him into more work. He, being the workaholic he was, would take on the jobs without a second thought. But, now that he had a (somewhat) trusty intern, he would be able to get the work done. Probably.

He tilted his head to the side to see what she was up to. He was relieved to see that she was reading through Tadase's files. So she was taking this simple task seriously, she seemed to be committed. Good.

"Sakura?"

"Yes Uchiha-sama?"

"Sasuke,"

"That is disrespectful, Uchiha-sama."

"I call you Sakura."

"I'm your apprentice, so it doesn't matter."

"Sakura." He sighed, annoyed.

"I insist, Uchiha-sama." She said with a giggle.

He sighed loudly again and put on a cute pout. Sakura giggled again and actually took in all his features for the first time. He was pretty good looking. Was he always so good looking? Maybe she was just distracted by his constant scowls before.

She realised that she was beginning to stare. So, she quickly stopped and started back on her file.

Sasuke was many things, arrogant, protective, a 'teme' and very critical when it came to work, all of these things, but not an asshole. He didn't want his new intern's work environment to be one where she's uncomfortable and always so formal. Calling him Sasuke wasn't a crime. Sasuke was sexy and he knew it. He had the Uchiha charm. And if charm was what it took to get this girl to be comfortable then charm there would be.

"Please, Sa-ku-ra?" He put on his sexiest smirk right at that moment. He was the pure definition of sexy.

She dropped everything and ran to him, ha, typical. She put her hand on his forehead and said in a hurried, concerned voice, "Uchiha-sama, are you sick?"

He just sat there, baffled.

What? What the hell was wrong with this girl? This had never happened to the poor guy before, so he didn't know how to react.

Because of his lack of movement, Sakura panicked.

She dashed to the sink, grabbed a small towel, soaked it and placed it on her bosses head despite his lack of fever. She ran to the pill cabinet and took out some parasol. She scampered her way back to the sink and filled a plastic cup with water. She then made her way over to her boss to lay the stuff down.

She turned to get something else when he grabbed her wrist.

"Sakura, I'm fine."

"No you're not!"

"Yes, I am."

"Yeah right! You wouldn't do that if you were! It wasn't a Sasuke like thing to do!"

…

…Did anyone else hear angels…?

…She said Sasuke. She called him Sasuke, and fuck did he like the way it rolled off of her tongue.

Realising this, she blushed red and tried to correct herself, "I-I mean, Uchi-"

"Sasuke,"

"N-no…"

"Why?" Seriously, what was so wrong with calling him Sasuke? He was barely even her senpai because of the one year age difference.

"Because," she started as she took out her cell phone, "I don't want you think that I'm them"

He hit a button and instantly, there were shrieks and screams. Sasuke flinched, he knew what this was.

SASUKE-KUN!

SASUKE-SAMA!

SASUKE-KOI!

MARRY ME!

FUCK ME!

SASUKE-KUN!

Fucking Fangirls.

She hit another button and it ended.

"I guess you were smart in that respect," he started, "But now that we've clarified that that isn't you, Sasuke."

"…Sasuke-sensei…?"

"Sakura," he said in a warning tone.

"Fine, fine."

"Let me hear it."

"Sasuke."

"Louder."

"Sasuke!"

"Louder."

"SASUKE!"

He nodded and turned his back. He really didn't trust himself to stay there, he liked the way she said his name, but he fucking loved the way she screamed it. If he stayed there he would of probably pushed her up against the wall and make her scream it some more and… no, bad thoughts, bad thoughts!

He looked downwards to see horror, he was hard. He was hard for his apprentice for saying his name. Holy fuck.
