Chapter One: Regular Day
It was a hot Summer day and I was just doing the usual. Looking over my patients and making sure I didn't accidentally skip my lunch brake again. I was quite relaxed looking at charts until I heard the inevitable. "AYUMI! WHERE IS SHE? I'M GOING TO KILL HER IF I HAVE TO DO HER WORK! SHIZUNE FIND HER NOW!" How I dreaded that voice in the morning. I already knew it was Tsunade, and by the sound of it, she hadn't had her morning drink. Not good. " Dr. Sona! Where are you?" As soon as I heard Shizune come closer I jumped out of my hiding spot behind the fake plant and covered her mouth. "Shhhhhh! What if Tsunade hears you? If I hear her coming I will leave you here and then all that punishment and rage that is suppose to be for me will be for you. I don't like putting you in danger cause we are friends right?" I looked at her intently for a reaction. She nodded her head as I let go of her mouth. "Why is she so mad?" I asked with the most innocent look I could muster up. "Don't play dumb, we know you didn't check on Genma and that Tsunade will not go in there. He won't let anyone help him but you." I laughed and nodded in agreement. "Well last time he came in for a paper cut. A PAPER CUT!" I shook her shoulders to emphasize my point. "Not this time. It's serious. He got his senbon caught in his throat by swallowing it." She said out of breath. "What room is he in?" She looked down at the chart she had in her hand and pointed behind her. "In room 223." I walked passed her and went straight to the room.
Genma was sitting on his hospital bed by the window and looked at me with a smile. I thought I should test him by asking him a question so I did. "How's it going there?" He looked at me curiously and pointed at his throat. "Oh, so you were being serious. *sigh* Well, let me take a look at it. It says in your chart that you were trying to perform a trick and swallowed it, is that correct?" He nodded and opened his mouth. I looked inside and saw the end of it. It looked as if it was scratching his throat badly. "Does it hurt?" He nodded again and closed his mouth when I took a step back. "You seem to be taking this pretty well." He smirked at me and puffed up his chest with pride. I giggled at his antics by trying to show that he was manly. "I guess I can take it out now but I need you to stay as still as possible so I don't scratch anything serious. Other than that, it will be out but your throat will probably be sore. I can give you a medicine for that." He looked unsure and nodded. "What? You don't trust me? I am appalled!" I joked and that seemed to calm down his nerves. I went over to him again and sat on the bed. I pushed his chest down to tell him to lie down. He did so and opened his mouth wide. I put on some rubber gloves and peered in again. "Ready?" He nodded and I reached my hand in. I touch the tip of the senbon and pulled gently. He gagged a little but I was able to get it out. He coughed and grabbed my hand to inspect the senbon. "Can you talk?" He sat up once more and coughed. "Ugh, I promise to be more careful Doctor." He smirked and grabbed the senbon from me and put it in his mouth. "You never learn do you?" He chuckled. "I said I would be more careful."
I sat up and walked over to his chart. I scribbled away on the chart and ripped a sheet of paper. "Here is the medicine you will be taking. I signed you off to leave and have a great day!" I handed the paper to him and he grabbed my arm to keep me from walking off. "Where are you going. Don't you have to check my temperature or something. I mean, that was kinda fast. Don't you think?" I jerked my arm away from him. "Like you said, I am the Doctor and I say you are fine. I have more important things to do Genma. Not everything revolves around you." He grunted and stood up. "Well, when do you get off work?" All I could think was 'you got to be kidding me.' "I, the Doctor, order you not to talk for the next 3 hours. Now, like I said, I have more important things to do right now. Goodbye."
I got out of there as fast as possible. Most people think I should just give him a chance. I always respond the same to that notion. 'My work is the most important thing in my life right now.'
I was done checking my patients and wanted to just go home and rest tonight. Before I punched out, I gave Shizune a little visit. I went up to her door and knocked. I heard things moving and probably a shuffle of paper. "Come in." She sounded rushed so I tried to move this along as fast as possible and went inside. "Ayumi! You were the one who got me all of this work!" She was shaking and looked like she couldn't wait to jump over the desk and strangle me. "That's what I came here for. I wanted to tell you sorry and wanted to see if you needed any help. You know I wouldn't get you into any trouble on purpose." She slumped in her seat and sighed. "If you were serious about helping then I guess you could help me file some of this." In my mind I thought 'No Way! Do your own stinking work!' but she was almost like my best friend. "Sure" I pulled up a seat and sat next to her.
We worked for about two hours straight and I wanted to rip my hair out. We only had one more document left so I quickly checked it and filed it. "Now that wasn't to bad now was it?" She asked me with a sincere smile. "SURE." Anyone could tell that I was being sarcastic. Shizune got up and stretched her arms. I did the same and yawned. "Well I think it is about time I go to sleep. What about you Shizune?" She cracked her neck and twisted her back. "Probably the same." I waved to her and headed out.
I made my way home with a sense of accomplish because I know I helped out a lot of people today. I was also happy because I knew that I ad the next day off. I walked up to my apartment building and climbed the stairs to my door. I did my nightly routine. I got dressed in only my underwear and bra because without a moments notice I could be expected to make a dash to the hospital and it is a little hard to do when you have to get out of your night clothes and into uniform. So, I went to bed, hopping for needed rest.
I awoke to a sound in my kitchen. It could probably be me but knowing my luck, it was probably a burglar. I was not letting anyone steel from me so I grabbed the kunai from under my bed and jumped up.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but I opened my bedroom door to the living room. I saw a figure in front of my bookshelf and saw that they had on a cloak. It wasn't an ordinary cloak, it had red clouds on it. 'Crap! Akatsuki!'
"What do you want?" the person turned around and said nothing. "Answer me! You worthless scum!" I knew I shouldn't have said that when the person dashed behind me and grabbed my arm with the kunai with lightning speed. I could tell now that it was a man because of the height and by the masculine looking hand. He twisted my arm and it made me drop the kunai. I tried to jab him with my other arm's elbow, but he maneuvered and grabbed that arm as well. "You are coming with me." His voice sounded so cold that I flinched and stopped moving for quite some time. I only realized what he said when he quickly let go of one of my arms and grabbed my waist. I knew that this guy was probably way stronger than me. I felt doomed.
