The Patient

-Chapter 1-

Dr. Uchiha sat in his office, going through different paper's of different patients. It was annoying how many patient's he got in just one day. The hospital was one of the top Nationwide, but it didn't seem to impress him anymore. He got paid an afwul lot, and was one of the top doctor's around. He was bored of life now, and couldn't show it. He had to treat his patient's kindly, wearing a plastic smile. He had recently dumped a girlfriend he didn't like anymore. He never loved her. Just used her to make it look like he cared for life. They never had sex, so where was the fun in that? Naruto and him had a special, no-connections, kind of sexual relationship, that make's no sense whatsoever.

"Doctor, may I come in?" Naruto's voice sounded. He sighed, then said, "Yes."

Naruto was another doctor, but he was happy all the time. I guess we can't be mommy's little sunshine all the time, now can we? Even though he did know how to make him happy at times. But we won't get to that right now.

"What is it?" he asked, rubbing his temples. He was tired. "Do you have Asumi's transcripts?"

"Hai, I just finished them." he said, handing him the paper's. "This is probably her last week here, you know Itachi." he said, looking down. His blue eyes were slightly watery. He knew Asumi as much as Itachi did. He was like a daughter. She had leukemia, and she wasn't doing too well.

"I know." he said. He was a little sad about it. But not too much, the little girl was sweet. Sakura's daughter as a matter of fact. But there was nothing he could do. She seemed to get worse every day. She was very smart, and he admired her for it. Also very brave, she knew that death was approaching. Yet, it did not bother her.

"I'll go and see her in a few." Itachi said slowly. Naruto nodded and left the room to attend to someone who needed him.

Itachi slowly pulled himself up, and pulled on his white coat. He opened the door, then closed it, clipboard in hand and ready for action. He walked down the halls, and went to Asumi's room, he slowly opened it, to reveal a dying Asumi. She immediately smiled. "Doctor Uchiha." she said, breathing slowly through her respirator.

"Hello Asumi. Remember I said, call me Itachi." he said smiling. He didn't mind smiling for her, she was just too cute. And she would be passing away soon. "How are you feeling today? I hope better then yesterday." he said, he never using professional word's with her, because he knew she didn't like them, and felt as if they used them as to try to keep secrets from her. She didn't like those either.

"Itachi-san. I am feeling better." she said, smiling slightly. Of course she wasn't. But she liked seeing her doctor happy, especially since it wasn't seen a lot.

"Alright Asumi. If there's any problem's. Just page me, okay?" he said, smiling just as much as he was.

"Hai. Itachi-san." she said smiling. He then gently closed the door and sighed. This was going to be a long day.
