I linger in the doorway
Our alarm clock screaming
Monster's calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops, as they're falling, tell a story

Sakura awoke from her deep slumber. She walked over to the kitchen as she whiped the sleep from her eyes. This is how her days had been since he left. Wake up alone, eat breakfast alone, go to work, come home to an empty house, and go to sleep alone. Sure, she'd see here friends at work, but it still didn't fill the void at home.
He had said he'd come back for her, but with each passing day she kept thinking it more unlikely. She couldn't think of this, though. That always clouded her mind, and she had to work today.

"Doctor Haruno?...Doctor Haruno?"
"Huh?" Sakura was knocked out of her day dreams.
"You have some patients outside waiting for you and I was told there was some paperwork I needed to pick up."
"Uh..." she trailed off in thought, "Oh! Sorry, the papers are right here. You can send in the first patient."

"A round of sake!!!" the blonde headed ninja screamed. "This working girl has had a hard day!"
"Just shut up, Naruto," Sakura groaned.
"Gosh Sakura, you haven't been looking very good lately," Hinata said with sincere worry in her voice.
"I haven't been feeling well lately."
"You sure there isn't something medical you can do to help with this?"
"All that can cure this problem is sake!" Naruto yelled. "Lots and lots of sake!!"
"Thanks," Sakura said, taking the beverage. "I am really going to need this."

Drunk and disoriented, Sakura fumbled her keys. Oh god, why did I have to drink so much. I never come home this late. I'm going to be even worse tomorrow thanks to that annoying baka. She got the keys into the lock, and entered her appartment.
She sensed she wasn't alone. Flipping on the lights as fast as she could while holding fight stance, she saw the intruder standing in the corner.
He spoke, in a deep vice that was so familiar to her. "Hi honey, I came back for you."
At that moment, everything went black and she felt herself spiralling out of consciousness.
