CHAPTER 2
Tenten love babies. That's one of the reason she became a doctor, other than saving lives and having a good salary. She was standing outside the nursery room, smiling fondly at her patient's newborn baby. She really wanted to have one, although she knew the pain of giving birth to a child (after all those child deliveries she conducted). The joy of seeing the child you carry for nine months is an indescribable feeling of Tenten.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, doc." Nurse Moegi stood behind Tenten, holding a clipboard.
"Its fine Moegi, do I have any appointments?" Tenten asked.
"No doc, but unfortunately Dr. Rock Lee was hit by a car while coming here to the hospital. He is currently in the Emerg-"
Before Nurse Moegi could finish, Tenten frantically ran to the Emergency Room. Yet, she was blocked because the operation was going on.
Feeling worried is an understatement for Tenten. Lee was her foster brother. Her foster father and biological uncle, Gai, took her as a toddler when her parents died. Tenten grew up with these two green clad 'youthful' idiots whom she called family. She couldn't be where she is right now if it wasn't for them.
The brown haired doctor was pacing at the corridors back and forth while rubbing her hands together. It's impossible for her to settle down and relax when her brother is in danger.
After long moments of waiting, a doctor with familiar onyx eyes went outside the E.R.
"Dr. Uchiha, how's my brother?" Tenten ran towards him.
"He's fine, though he had a minor fracture on his leg, we are able to make it through." He said, not showing any emotions. Although Tenten worked in this hospital for years, she wasn't familiar of his face.
Soon after, a long-haired doctor with pale lavender eyes caught the sight of Tenten and tackled him with a hug. "Neji!"
"Tenten, you need to calm down. Lee's fine, we are transferring him in a private room." Neji patted Tenten's back, calming her down.
"I sure hope he'll be fine," She smiled letting go of the hug, she turned around to face Sasuke, "Thank you so much for saving my brother, Dr. Uchiha. Say, when did you come back here in Konoha?"
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Dr. Tenten Wang. I came back here this afternoon." Sasuke said as he shared a brief handshake together with Tenten.
"It's Dr. Hyuuga Tenten." Neji immediately corrected, strictly emphasizing the family name. The Uchiha could only smirk into his arrogance.
Tenten glared at her husband warningly. "Neji, that's quite rude."
"Hn." He just ignored Tenten glare as he grunted.
"So I assume you two are married?" The couple was Sasuke's seniors. They assisted them in several operations and surgeries when they were still interns. Rumors said they were dating since they were still in Med School. "You haven't told me about that earlier, Dr. Hyuuga."
Tenten smiled, "We married soon after you left to Sound, and we did send you an invitation."
"I don't read my mails," The Uchiha said monotonously, "But I am grateful you considered inviting me in your wedding."
"You could've been one of my groomsmen." Neji muttered. Although no one would admit, he and Sasuke were quite close; the two geniuses respected their opinions and acknowledge each other's abilities.
"Hn."
"You sure know how to speak my husband's language, aren't you Dr. Uchiha." Tenten giggled, referring to their one-syllabic replies. "It must be the language of the prodigies."
"Dr. Uchiha, we need you in the Operating Room right away." Nurse Udon interrupted their conversation.
"If you'll excuse me, I must go." Sasuke nodded before following Udon.
"Shall I take you to Lee's room?" Neji stared at Tenten holding her hands with his, who looked into his eyes, smiling. She gripped his hands in reply, while walking at the corridors. "Let's go."
"So, how was the delivery?" Neji asked.
"Oh, Mrs. Yamaguchi's childbirth was successful. Good thing she didn't have to undergo C-section. Her newborn baby is a boy, and you should've seen him, he is so cute and healthy! I wonder wha-" Tenten stopped rambling when Neji stopped on his tracks, noticing his not-so-obvious sad expression. "Neji, what's wrong?"
"I'm so sorry." Neji said, pulling her into a tight hug. Tenten's bafflement turned into concern when she felt the prodigy's heartbeat as she hugged him back.
"Come on, why are you saying sorry?" She patted her husband's back. "I wouldn't let you see Lee with that glum expression of yours. You know he doesn't want to see someone sad."
"Hn." He smiled as he pulled away his hug. He grabbed Tenten's hand and gripped it tightly.
They soon arrived at Lee's room, yet as they opened it, the couple was greeted by a:
"Hello there my youthful sister and my eternal rival slash brother-in-law!"
Followed by a:
THUD!
CRASH!
"WHAT THE HECK, LEE!"
"Please don't tell me you haven't forgotten that you're injured."
She hated the universe, the world, everything. Instead of saving lives, she wants to kill anyone near her.
Dr. Haruno Sakura just finished another successful surgery with her best friend, Dr. Ino Yamanaka. But instead of feeling relieved, she was beyond frustrated.
She was currently washing her hands in the sink, for god knows how long. She was glaring at her hands, and if looks could kill, they might be burned into ashes.
Ino was watching her the whole time, slightly amused. She thought she wouldn't live to see Sakura act like that. Sakura is always professional. The pink- haired doctor would never show her emotions during work, and there she was, rubbing her hands like there's no tomorrow.
"Calm down forehead, unless you wanted to lose your skin." Ino snickered, oh how she really want to record this.
Sakura glared at her, "I am calm." She finally turned off the sink, wiping her hands with her towel. She breathed heavily, her brows was still furrowed.
"Then why are you washing your hands like we never used gloves during operation?" The blonde raised her brows, and all she received from her best friend was a sharp glare.
With that she decided to make her pink-haired best friend to go berserk by asking, "Have you talked with Dr. Uchiha Sasu-"
"SHUT UP!"
Instead of being afraid, she smirked, "Right, you're calm." Ino moved closer to Sakura, watching her eye to eye. "Sakura, what's wrong?"
"I-I don't know." Sakura wanted to cry, but she can't. She was hurt, but she can't explain the pain. It feels like a stitched wound opened again. She didn't even know why she felt like this.
"Is it because of Sasuke?" Ino asked, this time, seriously. "I can't blame you for feeling that way. After all, he promised you something important, and he couldn't keep it." She patted Sakura on the shoulder and smiled, "Just talk to him, for closure, if there's anything needed to be closed. And if he'll hurt you, I'll kick his ass."
Sakura hugged Ino, "Thank you, Ino-pig." Ino smiled wider, "You're welcome, forehead." They giggled at their names. Both of them became best friends since kindergarten, because of their rivalry, they started to call each other names since middle school. Sakura couldn't really thank more for a having a trusted friend like Ino, though she doesn't say she has a problem, she always knew if there's one
"I mean it, thank you so much." Sakura broke the hug. "Say, you want coffee? My treat." She playfully winked as she clung her arms into Ino's.
"I'm sorry for interrupting you Dr. Haruno, Dr. Yamanaka." Nurse Moegi stood in front of them. "There's a patient in room 4, a teenage girl with serious cuts and bruises."
"Thanks." Ino nodded and went away. "I won't forget the coffee, forehead!" She shouted, Sakura only rolled her eyes.
"And Dr. Haruno, please follow me." Sakura made her pace fast as they headed to the O.R.
"A man was shot two times and the bullet is still inside his body. One is near at his lungs and the other was at his stomach." Moegi stated. "You'll be accompanied by Dr. Uchiha."
Oh, Dr. Uchiha Sasuke She thought, but right now it isn't the time to stop and think about those things. We have a life to save.
"Good, I'm on my way." She said, while wearing the surgical gloves and mask.
"Dr. Haruno." Someone called her attention behind her.
"What is it Dr. Uchiha?" She turned around, smiling and raised her eyebrow mockingly at Sasuke while wearing his mask.
"Hn." He smirked and already entered the door in front of her. Sakura was left with her mouth wide-open.
"You cocky bastard!" Sakura shouted before going inside the Operating Room. "I swear I'll kick you all the way back to the Sound once we're done with this!"
You never know how hard to get rid of emotions before seriously doing an operation.
