First chapter...here we go. Please review and tell me what you think.

8 years later

Naruto let out a sigh of relief when he skimmed over the lab results...no cancer was found. Still leafing through the sheets of paper, he walked slowly down the polished white halls towards his patient. He walked through the equally polished waiting room with his nose practically buried in the neon orange clip-board. To the worried onlookers it appeared that he didn't see the exhausted nurse pushing the overloaded medical cart at high speeds....with her head down. Of course, that was totally off base, he knew everything going on in the hospital and several blocks surrounding it...but they didn't need to know that. Several of the women sitting closest to were he was gasped. Both he and the nurse continued on as though there was no one in their path, the hospital staff had learned quickly enough that they didn't need to worry about accidents around Naruto. A small child near the back of the room called out a warning as they neared each other. A foot left between them, five inches, two, one, suddenly Naruto side stepped and deftly snatched a chocolate milk carton from the top of the speeding cart and kept walking as though nothing utterly anti-climactic had just happened. Most of the young women in the room sighed in relieve and a few people started clapping. Naruto paused his trek to 'Becky Goldenflag's' room while opening his milk and looked up with a questioning glance, searching for the source of such a morbid group's applause. He turned and looked around several times before pointing at himself and laughing lightheartedly, rubbing the back of his neck. "Um, I'm not sure what I did...but thanks for the support." Several people laughed at him, but one group recognized him and remained sober.

"Coming?"

The Family nodded in a broken attempt at unison and followed when he waved a hand a continued walking towards Becky's room.

"She isn't in critical condition; the crash didn't cause any permanent damage to her brain. She is, however, going to need some physical therapy. The car door crushed her leg; her knee cap, tendons, and ligaments are fine but the bursa burst from the pressure. I am a bit mystified at how this happened, but it was easily fixed."

He opened the door to the young woman's room and stepped in, a large grin plastered on his face while he threw away the empty carton.

"And how are you this fine morning, my dear Becky?"

The attractive brunette blushed lightly but smiled and replied none the less. "My leg hurts." He gave her an apologetic smile, encouraging her to continue. "My chest hurts a little. Is that normal?"

Naruto was a bit worried about that last bit of information, but kept the grin on his face with ease...he'd had years of practice. Bringing the stethoscope to her chest with one hand while plugging in the ear pieces with the other, he smiled again. "Breathe deep?" She did so. Naruto was a relieved for the second time that day when he didn't hear the sinister gurgling that accompanied fluid in the lungs.

"Does this hurt?" He spread his hand over her chest (above her boobs, you perverts! He is a doctor.) and pressed lightly. She hissed and nodded sharply before slapping his hand away on reflex.

"Hmm, nothing to worry about, my dear, that pain is pretty normal when your chest meets Mr. Steering Wheel in such a violent way."

The teen with a large black leg cast slightly elevate smacked his arm playfully.

"Well I wouldn't have had to meet Mr. Steering Wheel if a certain blonde doctor would have agreed to be my date to the prom."

Naruto scoffed and waved a hand absently. That had been a running joke for them for quite a while. Becky was one of his 'Just-Give-Up-Its-Hopeless' cancer patients. She had been coming to the hospital for chemotherapy for about a year and she was the most cheerful dieing person he had ever met...then again she wasn't dieing anymore.

"Bah, you wouldn't want an old man like me as a date anyways."

"Pshh. You are only like what 19?"

Naruto burst out laughing and brought his hospital ID from his back pocket.

"23, thank you. Although, it is reassuring to think that all those large male bouncers weren't just flirting."

The room erupted with laughter that quieted down rather quickly as Naruto held up his hand.

"Ok people, I have some good news and some bad news, which do you want first."

"The bad." Becky piped. Naruto scowled jokingly. "Too bad, the bad wont make sense unless I tell you the good."

The girl blushed at his playful smirk, crossed her arms over her chest gingerly, and huffed before motioning for him to continue.

"Ok, the good news; The Chemo worked perfectly." There were several shouts of joy and some hugs came his way, which he returned tentatively, (still not all that used to willing physical contact) before continuing. "The bad news being that you don't get to come see me anymore...except for your physical therapy...and the checkups...and to get that god-awful cast off...but other than that I wont see you."

Becky and Family let out a happy squeal and went about celebrating.

"Be careful about medicine alright? I want you to check with me before you even think about taking ANYTHING. That includes Tylenol, Nyquil, Halls, and any other drugs you might find lying about your house. Understood?"

The whole family nodded in unison and went back to cheering wildly. Naruto made his good byes and left silently. He walked down the hall with a real smile on his face, his eyes closed in a perfect imitation of his youth. Naruto absolutely loved helping people, and it was so much easier on the conscience than killing them. As he neared the reception area he heard his fake name called. He had long since changed his name...it was now something the lines of Gaka Chi, though he still insisted to be called Naruto by his friends. A frown creased Naruto's brow when he got close enough to hear what language was being spoken. It was his native tongue. His frown stayed in place as he jogged the rest of the way to the reception desk.

"What's wrong Suzie?"

The girl jumped at his sudden appearance but almost cried in relief at seeing him.

"OH! Dr. Chi! Please translate! I don't speak a word of anything but English and Spanish."

Naruto nodded and turned to the man, bowing politely. "What seems to be the problem?" (AN/ ok, I admit it. I am to lazy to rack my brain on how to spell all that in romanji. lightly slaps wrist for shame...well back to the story. OH! Btw the "bla" means its in Japanese )

The man turned to him with the same relief Suzie the receptionist had shown. He bowed deeply several times before speaking.

"Isha-sama! Thank Kami you are here! I thought my wife was going to give birth in the street!" (isha=doctor)

"NANI!?!?! Baka yo! Bring her in, now! Now!" (if you don't know what those words are I pitty you)

The man rushed to comply while Naruto turned to the nurse.

"Wife in labor, be ready."
