Of all the normal days in Konoha this was set to be the most. Everything was normal, the sun had risen at 6:14am that morning. He had arrived at the Special Police Academy at 7am and now at 12pm Captain Uchiha was sat at his desk looking over paper work and occasionally picking at the bento he had prepared earlier. Then something happened that would throw that "normal day idea" out of a ten storey window. At 12:01 pm there was a sharp knock on the door,

"Come in," he said strongly. A tall slender woman creaked open the door and peered in at him with only a slight hint of trepidation,

"Captain, I've got an urgent message from the hospital," she said with a cheery but timid voice. Not looking up from the paper work Sasuke shuffled his files around and began to pack up,

"Does it give any more information?" Sasuke asked looking up at her as he got up from his desk. The woman at the door met his eyes and per usual she had the breath knocked straight out of her. She had been an intern at the police academy for three months now and every time she had to address him the same thing happened. He was walking towards her in the doorway; his onyx eyes bored right into her and caused her stomach to flutter.

"Tchen?" he said assertively trying to pull her from her daze. She shook her head and smiled awkwardly at him whilst failing to hide her embarrassed blush.

"Umm yes sir, but only a little. Hokage-sama has been in an accident," she said with a small tone of concern in her voice as she re-read the memo in her hand.

"Thank you," he said as he passed her in the doorway. She turned and watched him walk slowly down the corridor before turning round the corner and disappearing. She smacked her forehead with her palm and began to mutter to herself in embarrassed agitation as she walked the opposite direction.

Sasuke walked out of the police station doors and walked down the high street hastily towards the hospital. He shook his head at the very thought of the mishaps that the "Hokage" had managed to get himself into. He felt a small pang of worry mingled in the annoyance which only made his step a little quicker.

He turned the corner again and saw the hospital in sight at the end of the street, he headed on down steadily before he heard his name called out.

"Hey, Sasuke!" came a warm and exuberant voice. He looked up to see Kiba and Hinata walking towards him from the general direction of the hospital.

"Hey," he said coolly.

"On your way to the hospital?" Kiba asked casually. Sasuke nodded and watched Kiba snigger at his response.

"I take it he's not seriously injured then," Sasuke said as he cocked an eyebrow. Hinata sighed and laid a hand on her chest with an obvious sign of relief.

"No thank Kami," she said softly but without any stammering.

"And to think I was worried," Sasuke muttered under his irritated breath.

"Oh no I'd still he worried if I were you. If not for right now," Kiba said as he laughed happily and Hinata joined his laughter with a soft giggle. Sasuke rose his brow at both of them in confusion.

"Is there something I should know?" he asked.

"You'll find out at the hospital," Hinata laughed slightly as she and Kiba exchanged a knowing look. Sasuke merely shrugged and continued down the road, raising a hand in a casual goodbye motion to them both.

"God he's gonna get it," Kiba said as his laughter faded.

"It wasn't that funny," Hinata giggled slightly. He looked down at her,

"Give it a few days and I promise you will die from laughter," he said amusedly. He swung his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him and they began to walk down the street.

"Come on beautiful, I owe you a dinner."

Sasuke finally made his way through the hospital entrance and strolled over to the reception desk, he waited a moment while the receptionists finished their phone calls before getting to him. A tall red haired nurse turned and smiled at him beguilingly,

"Hello Captain. May I help you," say said as charmingly as she could.

"I'm here to see Uzumaki Naruto," he said curtly. She nodded and tried to suffocate a giggle but it made its way out.

"Can you tell me what's going on?" he said finally irritated with the joke he wasn't in on.

"Oh I think it's best if I just show you to Hokage-sama's room," she said as she grabbed a clip board and walked around from the back of the desk. "If you'd like to follow me," she said as she headed down the left corridor. He followed her until she stopped outside a plain white door with A5 embossed on it. She opened the door and held it open as he walked in.

He stood stock still in the doorway at the image that greeted him inside that hopstial room. Naruto's bright smile was beaming up at him from the hospital bed.

"Hey Sasuke," he said boisterously. Sasuke's eyes widened as he looked at him.

"Naruto… What the HELL?" he exclaimed. Naruto was sat upright in the hospital with practically ever part of him covered in bandages. Over the bed there was a huge frame of wires and poles that were keeping almost all of his already casted limbs elevated. Naruto looked down at himself and smiled awkwardly,

"Oh yeah this," he laughed slightly. "Well you know…" he said as he looked back to the nurse still at the door. "That's fine Fuyuumi," he said with a friendly smile.

"Of course Hokage-sama," she said as she closed the door with a respectful bow. Sasuke walked over to the end of the hospital bed and picked up the chart and gave it a look over.

"Naruto," he said softly. Naruto looked up at him,

"Eh?" he said cheerfully awaiting his next comment.

"How did you manage to break both legs, three ribs, an arm and your tailbone?" he said with a kind of wonderment in his voice. Naruto chuckled at himself and tried to shrug but couldn't with the sheer bulk of bandages on him.

"I was on a mission with Kakashi-sensei and well…" he said with a happy go lucky smile plastered on his face.

"Naruto, can I ask you a question without your brain exploding?" Sasuke asked as he gloomed down over Naruto. "How many mission have you been on since you were appointed Hokage?" Naruto gave a confused look which generally meant he was thinking and then he broke into a cheerful laughter,

"Six in the past four months," he said defiantly. "Record breaking! No Hokage has ever been in the field for that long out of war times but if the elders think they can keep me out of the field just because I'm Hokage, they've got another thing coming."

"Okay and every single one of those were A-ranked mission right?" Sasuke continued.

"You bet," Naruto said. "Except the last one which was a C mission. Stupid elders were getting worried about the riskiness," he said with an annoyed groan in his voice.

"How did you manage to get more hurt on this single mission than the past five? I mean Kakashi was with you for Kami's sake!" Sasuke demanded. Naruto laughed awkwardly.

"Well it's actually Kakashi's fault." Sasuke cocked an eyebrow in disbelief and scoffed slightly. "No seriously. It was all Kakashi sensei's idea," Naruto said. He began to look around and then strained to try and peer out of the closed door. He looked straight at Sasuke once more and giggled darkly.

"Can I trust you Sasuke?" he said with a mischievous tone. Sasuke nodded unsurely. Naruto leant in and Sasuke moved in closer to the bed. Naruto looked around once more in a slightly paranoid manner and then finally whispered,

"I'm not actually hurt."
