Sakura woke up with the constant sound of all too familiar bickering of her two teammates.

Dazed, she sat up and looked around. She saw the familiar white walls and breathed in the scent she knew all too well. Immediately she knew where she was; the hospital. She cleared her throat and both boys turned her way. They both looked relieved at first but then their eyes turned angry.

She looked at both of them confused. "Why am I in the hospital?" She asked nervously. "You don't remember?" Naruto shook his head. "You passed out from exhaustion."

She looked away guilty, but not all ashamed at what she had done, just guilty she had worried them. "Sorry for worrying you." She said. "Sorry? Sakura-chan you had us worried sick!" Naruto yelled. "Yeah why didn't you stop working if you were tired" Sasuke said finally voicing his opinion. Sakura's guilt increased tenfold, but she also looked angry. "He could've died! What was I supposed to do, let him?" She screeched. "You could have let another doctor do it." Naruto said. "There was no one else around that was capable. Sasuke how was I supposed let your cousin die?" She asked sadly.

Sasuke paled and he tensed up.

"Who was it?" He asked. "Uchiha Shisui." She answered. Uchiha Shisui happened to be Sasuke's favorite cousin. How could she take a break knowing how he important he was to Sasuke. How selfish was that?

"Is he okay now?" Sasuke asked. Sakura's eyes softened. "Yes. He's doing just fine." Sasuke's posture relaxed. Then his face turned determined. "Still don't scare like that again!" Naruto nodded his head, fiercely agreeing. "Okay." She replied knowing full well that if the situation came upon her again she would do the same in a heartbeat.

They seemed to catch on to that too and shook their heads annoyed in her direction. Sakura grinned at them. Soon they were grinning too. They couldn't help it, Sakura's grin was contagious.

Sakura then sighed and declared that she had lazed around enough and through the blankets off her. "Well let's go check on my patient, shall we?" She said getting up and stretching. "But Sakura-chan you need to get some more rest." Naruto insisted. "Naruto I've rested enough." She said in a voice that left no room for argument.

Naruto sighed and let his shoulders droop.

Sakura looked around for her Dr.'s coat and grabbed it off the visiting chair beside the bed. After sliding it on and adjusting her hair to make it at least look presentable she grabbed her clip board she was forced to carry around because she was Head Medic off the side table and her medical journal she listed poisons, antidotes, medicines and the ingredients she used to make them. She didn't let anyone touch it, not even Tsunade. But she understood, being a medic herself.

Then she walked past them in a confident stride she had gained after training with Tsunade and her body filled out.

Naruto and Sasuke both groaned mentally at the picture she made. They weren't at all interested in her, with Naruto happily with Hinata and Sasuke happily single, but Sakura was a very beautiful women, and single. Of course they were the reason she was single. They didn't believe there was anyone out there that deserved Sakura. And her new attire didn't help the situation at all.

Her normal attire had come to cling to her form as her body had filled out. Chasing the guys away had become a hassle, but it was worth it.

When they reached Shisui's room they found somebody already there. Uchiha Itachi!

It may come as a surprise but in all the time she had known Sasuke she had only ever come across Uchiha Itachi a few times and each time only a few fleeting minutes. She did know he was retiring from ANBU soon because he was going to be taking over his clan sometime in the future, after he finds a wife of course.

She shook off her initial shock and walked over to the bed. Behind her she could hear Sasuke and Naruto entering and one of them sliding the door shut. She did a once over on his body and decided he was healing rather nicely. She smiled to herself. She moved her gaze over to his face to find him awake and starring at her chest.

She gritted her teeth and reminded herself that she didn't heal him to break him again. She cleared her throat. When he didn't look up she clenched her hand and the clip board crumbled in her tight grip. He looked up her surprised and his face scrunched up nervously. Sakura took a relaxing breath.

"You can leave in a week. But you're going to need another week's recovery time. Think of it as a two week vacation time." She ordered. "You got it doc." He saluted and then winced and slowly moved his arm back down. Sakura frowned worriedly at him and moved a glowing green hand to his arm and soothed away the ache. She heard him release a relived breath. She smiled gently up at him.

"Oi! What did you do to make Sakura-chan pass out from exhaustion!?" Naruto broke the peaceful silence.

Sakura whirled around and glared at him. He stepped behind Sasuke nervously. Sasuke glanced back annoyed. Sakura huffed.

Sakura felt eyes on her suddenly. She looked around the room and met the eyes of Uchiha Itachi.

Unknown to Sakura, he was feeling amused. One glare form Sakura and Naruto was hiding behind his little brother for protection. It was amusing that such a petite women could do that. Though he wasn't all that surprised. After all he had witnessed her not moments ago turn a single clipboard in a pile of rubble at her feet with just a grip of her hand.

Suddenly he winced. His eyes were starting to hurt again. He hoped no one noticed.

Unfortunate to him Sakura did and she instantly reacted. She moved towards and Itachi looked at her warily as he stepped back. Sakura was able to deduct that the pain was coming from his eyes. She rushed forward.

Itachi was surprised being faster than her he thought he could move away but another wave of pain made him stay where he was, causing Sakura to tackle him.

Her hands were immediately on his temples. She pushed chakra through her hands and started to get rid of the pent up chakra after finding it the same thing Sasuke and Kakashi suffered.

She felt Itachi relax instantly. He settled his arms around her hip and closed his eyes peacefully.

Unknowingly the other occupants of the room were staring at them with their eyes wide and their mouths gaped.

After she was finished she removed her hands and opened her eyes.

Itachi also opened his eyes and starred up into her gorgeous green eyes. His eyes were the softest Shisui and Sasuke had ever seen them.

"Feel better?" She asked softly. He nodded his head starring lazily up at her. His fingers were unknowingly rubbing circles on her hips. Then their position dawned on her and she blushed tomato red. She jumped up and started apologizing.

Itachi dragged his body up. He on the other wasn't sorry about anything that just happened. He felt the most relaxed now than he had in years. He felt like he could keep her around for the rest of his life.

Itachi didn't know how right he was.
