Konoha's Angel

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Naruto characters.

A/N: Ok, I just thought that I'd clear stuff up for you all.

Naruto: 17, Chonin

Sakura: 17, Chonin

Sai: 17, Chonin

Suki: 22, Jonin posing as chonin

Kakashi: 24, Jonin

Ok, so now that is all cleared up, on with the story!!

Running to catch up with Suki's doctor, Kakashi gritted his teeth at the actions he had just witnessed. Stupid Naruto, why didn't you stop after we warned you, or after she first hurt you? Damn it, Naruto, you are so knuckled headed!! Kakashi continued to curse Naruto in his head as he watched the doctors try to get Suki out of shock, and try to stabilize Naruto, for he had passed out from all the injuries. The Kyuubi wasn't helping heal him very fast, either, and it was shocking both the doctors, and Kakashi. He turned as the doctors that were just working on Suki walked out of the room after she came to. He walked up to Suki's bed, and she looked at him.

"Kakashi, I really need to talk to the Hokage, I have to find out whether or not me posing as a chonin on your team means that I lost rank." Suki said as she sat up, preparing to stand and walk away. Kakashi pushed her back onto the pillow.

"Stay here, you haven't been released yet."

"I'm a medic ninja!!"

"That's fascinating, I'm a copy ninja!" Suki smacked his shoulder.

"Not funny. I think I'd know when I need to stay in a hospital. I'm releasing myself. I think I can do that." Suki attempted to stand, and began to walk away. Kakashi walked close to her, expecting her to fall, which she did. Kakashi caught her and he picked her up bridal style, and carried her back to her hospital bed.

"I told you that you probably weren't ready to leave yet. The nurse talked to me before she left. She said that you would be okay, but they wanted to keep you overnight to make sure you stay calm all night, plus the meds they gave you won't wear off till morning. Just promise me you will stay here for the rest of the night, please?" Suki nodded at his request, and he covered her back up with the covers on the bed. "Good, I'll come and get you in the morning, call when they release you, okay?"

Suki nodded, then smiled at him, and began the normal teasing she always does. "Why, Kakashi, it almost sounds like you're my father, instead of my best friend!" He smiled.

"Oh, Suki, you know with the huge difference in our age, I'm old enough to be your father."

"Oh, sure, Kashi, a whole 2 years between when you were born, and when I was born." Suki hugged him as he stood, and crossed to the curtain that separated her bed, and Naruto's. Not the brightest thing they've done, considering I'm the reason that he's here, and he's the reason that I'm here. Kakashi peeped around the curtain, and yelped at Naruto's smiling face.

"Naruto, shouldn't you be lying in the bed?!" Kakashi yelled, shoving the teenager back onto his bed.

"Hey, sensei, why did the hokage put her on our team? I mean, she's only going to bring us down! She's not strong at all!" Naruto yelped between shoves. "That's all I was trying to find out!"

"Not that strong, huh? I don't think you have the right to say that, considering that she put you in the hospital, and you almost died! She's got mere scratches, and you put a bruise on her arm, which caused her to spaz out! Be more careful, Naruto, unless you really need her to spaz out!" Kakashi yelled at the protesting Naruto.

Kakashi shoved him back down into his bed, and forced him to cover up. He heard Naruto mutter a whatever, and he began to fall asleep. Smiling, he went back to check on Suki. "Everything alright, Kakashi? I heard Naruto yelling, but I didn't hurt him that bad, did I? I mean, I'm really sorry I spazzed like I did, but you know why, and he really scared me, he was squeezed my arm so hard." Suki said, as she sat up in her bed, talking to Kakashi.

He opened the door, beginning to walk out. "Everything's fine, go back to sleep, okay Suki?" He walked out the door, and smiled over his shoulder at the worried girl behind him. "Don't worry, Suki, Naruto bounces back fast, he will be alright." She nodded, and laid back down, attempting to sleep.

The next day, she was given her own room till he was released, and she laid there in the Jonin Meeting, trying to pay attention, but failing miserably. She ended up listening to the voices outside the door.

"But lady Tsunade, How am I supposed to be an even experienced Medic Ninja if I am not used to seeing a lot of blood on a wounded ninja?" a voice asked, right outside their door. Everyone stopped talking.

"No, Sakura, you will only be in my way in this case. This ninja is a special worker, and if you see their face, then they will have to work in another field. You are not allowed to see their face!" Tsunade yelled, causing all the Jonins in the room to cringe. A Nurse came into the room, neither Sakura nor Lady Tsunade was the one, or so they thought. They heard a pop, and Lady Tsunade stood in front of them in all of her glory.

"Sakura has no idea that I'm here, she thinks I'm still out there with her. Listen carefully, I can't speak too loudly. Suki, you have been assigned to team seven, as you already know, but it doesn't mean that you are no longer a Jonin. You worked undercover forever, so the only people that know that you aren't a chonin, is your graduating class, your enemies, and your family. I plan to keep it that way, so lay low, got it??" Suki nodded at her Hokage's whispered demand, and began to stand.

"Lady Hokage, when do I get to leave the hospital? What will happen if Sasuke comes back on his own?" Suki whispered.

"Well, I doubt that he will, but if he does, you will still be on the team, the only 4 member squad, um, not counting Kakashi. You will remain on that team till it is time for them to become new Jonins, then ANBU. You are remaining on that team even after Sasuke comes back, if he does, so you can protect the other members of the team incase it is a trap. You can leave now. Everyone is dismissed." Lady Tsunade said as she held onto another Jonin to keep him from leaving. He stood there. "Suki, stand." She did. Tsunade turned to the unknown ninja. "You, turn into a highly wounded and bloodied ninja. Suki, stand by the wall. Call him your uncle." Tsunade told them the story that she had her shadow clone tell Sakura, who was still fighting with it. They nodded, and Suki made herself cry, and stood in the corner where Tsunade had indicated, and started to cry again. Waiting till Suki's face had been completely covered with tears, Tsunade made her shadow clone disappear, and the door flew open. Tsunade heard a small pop as the Jonin transformed into a wounded ninja.

"Fine, you can help, but don't touch him, alright? Right now, he is in shock, and he has chakra protecting him, so don't touch him or else you will be seriously wounded." Sakura nodded, and looked around the room before Tsunade opened the curtain to reveal the ninja.

"Suki? What are you doing here? You should be at home, resting!" Sakura scolded before she noticed Suki's tears. "Suki, what's wrong?"

"The ninja, in the bed there, he's my uncle. He's sooo badly wounded, please help him!!??" Suki squealed, letting out more tears. Lady Hokage smiled at the girl's superior acting skills, and then pouted at her, seeing Sakura begin to look at her.

"Umm….. Suki, shouldn't you be signing out of the hospital? Or still lying in your bed?" Tsunade said, pulling both Sakura and Suki to the door. "Sakura, kindly take Suki to the desk, and make sure that she signs out before she does anything else in the hospital, including going to see Sai." Sakura nodded, and they walked out the room, not realizing that Tsunade had distracted her out of the fake patient's room.

"Suki, do you have any idea how Naruto is? I'm really worried, but, well, that's not my ward yet, I haven't been trained in the Near Death ward, as I've named it. It's not till I'm more experienced that I even get to go into that ward, much less treat those in it." Sakura and Suki laughed at her last sentence. That's strange, when I was training with Lady Tsunade, I was in there in almost 3 months, and yet, she's been here for 2 years, and hasn't been in there once! Suki thought, as she laughed at some not really funny jokes that Sakura was telling her as they walked to the desk.

Getting to the desk, Sakura went behind the counter and retrieved Suki's paperwork. "Oh, and by the way, I believe Naruto is okay, but don't hold me to it. And, if you talk to him, try to explain to him that he really shouldn't touch me, not unless he has my permission. It's rather important that he understands that, okay?" Suki asked her.

"Yeah, sure, I'll tell him." Sakura said, then became rather serious. "Suki, why did you spaz out after Naruto accidentally hurt you, and left a bruise on you arm? It really worried me."

"Hey, Sakura, do you want to hang out sometime, maybe tomorrow?" Sakura nodded, forgetting the question she had asked Suki like the pink hair goofy girl she is. "Great, why don't you come by my house at, like, 7 o'clock? We can go shopping, and maybe trade some training techniques?" Sakura nodded, and walked back to behind the counter. "Great, see you then!"

Ugh, that was a close one. If Sakura wasn't as stupid as a nitwit, then she would have pressured me into telling her about it all. I really don't think that she could stand hearing about that kind of stuff. Suki thought as she walked home, deciding to come back later to see Sai before her shift at the hospital started. Sighing at her own exhaustion, even after lying in a hospital bed almost all day.
