A rose colored head bobbed through the crowd of people, her green eyes squinted a bit, "Ino!" she called to platinum blonde female with baby blue eyes. "Ino!" she yelled again into the Konaha Hospital.

"Sakura!" the blonde ran up to Sakura and gave her a hug, "I can't believe it! You got the slot! I'm so happy for you!" Ino gave her another hug. Her bangs, which reached to her chin, brushed in front of her baby blue eyes. Ino smiled mischievously, "There are some pretty hot interns around here!" She gestured around the hospital while winking at a few interns.

Sakura's cheeks turned a shade lighter than her hair, "I guess."

"You totally have to hook me up!" the blonde giggled as a black-haired, brown-eyed intern walked by, "Like with him!"

"Whoa there!" Sakura exclaimed as Ino tried to chase after the intern. She then thought a minute, "I'll see what I can do."

Ino smiled, "Come on, let's go get some lunch. You're starting to look like a skeleton!"

"I do not! Besides, I'm not hungr—" suddenly Sakura's stomach started to rumble, "Oh!"

The blonde just laughed, "Come on," she turned to the entrance of the hospital, looped her harm through Sakura's and they walked out together.

.:~+*-*+~:.

Later that evening, Sakura sat at the front desk filing papers, and the two nurses net to her were trying to relax, "Hey Sakura," one said to her, "we're going to go run this up to Tsunade, so keep watch for us, 'kay?"

She nodded, "Take your time."

The nurses got up and walked out of the area of the front desk, while Sakura was left alone with her thoughts, 'They day's almost over and I've managed to make it through. With all the patients, the yelling, the – I. LOVE. THIS.' She inwardly thought. "I'm going to call my parents and tell them how everything has been going! Mom'll be especially excited!" she mumbled to herself, as she took out her cell phone to call her mother.

Just as she was about to hit send, the doors crashed open, a jet-black haired male stood in the doorway. He clutched his arm with a makeshift bandage over it, "Ugh," he groaned and nearly fell to the floor, but he caught himself on the side of the door.

Sakura rushed over to him, "Please come with me, sir," she started to help him up, "and I'll get you a doctor to look at that right away—"

He grasped her arm firmly and looked her dead in the eyes, "No, you aren't. No white coats, no nurses, YOU will help me." His voice was harsh and demanding, but, to Sakura, it was familiar.

"Sasuke Uchiha. . ?" she whispered hoarsely as she thorough and quickly compared his face to the Sasuke Uchiha from her memories. The same coal black eyes, the same cold stare, and the same gorgeous face everyone at her high school loved. As soon as she was 100% positive it was him, she thought, 'God, please don't do this to me.'

He tried to move, but brushed his arm against the wall and gasped in pain. Sakura hurriedly wrapped her arm around his waist and pulled his good arm over her shoulder. They walked down the deathly quiet hospital corridors; Sakura was almost in a state of panic inside, 'What happened to him? Why is he demanding not to have any doctors treat him? What the hell is going on?"

They had reached an empty room, Sakura helped him onto the bed that was in the examination room and she started to untie his bandages.

*+~:..:~+*

He really didn't expect to see Sakura Haruno working this late on a summer night, in the hospital, but surprises were always found around every corner. As she took him down the corridors of the hospital he wondered why she was here. 'Maybe she's volunteering. Or maybe she actually works here? She did say that she wanted to be a doctor or something when she got out of school.'

Sakura leaned over him, completely focused on the task at hand on his left arm, meanwhile, Sasuke let his mind wander. 'I really hope she understands that she can't tell anybody that I was here, or even record that I was here, otherwise this could cause some complications. As if I don't have enough of tho—'

"Ow!" Sasuke winced, "That hurts." He half glared at her.

Sakura lifted her head a moment and stared into his dark eyes with her bright ones. She then scoffed, "Well, what do you expect? With a wound like that, it'll probably hurt for a while. Maybe two to three weeks." She bent her head down again and started to clean the wound with some hydrogen peroxide. She could hear him inhale sharply as the liquid touched his skin. Once she was done with that, she pulled out a roll of self adhesive bandages and a large gauze pad. She placed the gauze on his wound and started to wrap around his bicep with the bandages.

The tension in the air was so thick, and the silence was so loud, that when Sasuke's phone alerted them of a text message, the both nearly jumped out of their skins. Sasuke reached into his pocket and retrieved his small black flip phone. He about opened it when Sakura cleared her throat.

"You're not allowed to have cell phones in here." Her voice was shaky, for she expected him to yell at her, saying that she can't tell her what to do.

He kept his eyes from being too harsh and he replied, "It'll be quick." She nodded and stepped away from him so he could have privacy. She started to twist her hands together in a nervous way.

He opened the message and it read:

Message from: Father
Bring in this girl.

Sasuke was about to reply when he started to receive a picture message. He opened it and a picture of a young woman, with green eyes and pink hair. It was Sakura and she smiled widely in the picture. As he look at the picture his cheeks got slightly warm, 'What the hell am I doing?' he scolded himself and quickly tapped out his okay and put his phone away.

Sakura went back to wrap his arm. Every time her fingers lightly brushed his wound, he would inhale sharply, and when she would pull her pink hair behind her ear, it would fall back down, which released the scent of her perfume. "Do you have any other injuries you would like me to look at?"

"No, thank you." He got up and walked out the door of the examination room and headed for the stairs. He sensed Sakura as she followed after him, 'Good.'

BANG! BANG! BANG! Gunshots were fired from behind them, and the window they came from crumbled to the floor as gunmen clad in black, all black, made their way towards them. "Shit!" he muttered. Without thinking he grabbed Sakura's arm and pulled her to the exit leading to the parking lot, right next to the stairs.

Once there, he pushed her into an elevator, much to her protest, and pressed the button to the top floor of the parking garage.

"What the hell is going on?" Sakura demanded, her voice shook in anger as she said it, but she chose to ignore it.

'Well, I thought this would have gone smoother than this. I thought that I could just chloroform her and take her to HQ and then have Father explain the situation to her. Fuck you Karma.' He quietly thought for a few seconds as he debated whether to tell her his thoughts or not. He decided not, "I have orders."

*+~:..:~+*

Sakura didn't have a clue about what was going on but she desperately hoped answers would be provided to her soon. On the top floor of the parking garage, Sasuke grabbed her arm, again, and pulled her along until they came to a blank area with a helicopter hovering above it. Sasuke gestured and a rope ladder swung down. He halted it and held it in place for her, so she could climb up. She hesitated a second or two, but she heard more gunshots and she ascended the ladder in record time, with Sasuke right behind her. When they were both on board, the pilot banked right and flew off, probably to the disappointment to whoever was after them.

Sasuke grunted, "Home, Lee."

"Roger," Lee saluted and directed the copter to their home.

As everyone else seemed to relax and get comfortable, Sakura, outraged and confused, exploded, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Where am I being taken? Who was shooting at us? And," she inhaled deeply, "is that you Bushy-Brows?"

Lee turned his head around. He had a bowl haircut for his black hair and his eyebrows looked like two fuzzy caterpillars rested on his face, "Bushy-Brows? Ha-ha! I haven't heard that in a long time!" he smiled and it seemed as if a gleam emitted from his teeth as he did so, before he turned back to being the pilot of their escape.

'Wow,' Sakura thought, 'two people from high school in one evening! Who else am I going to meet tonight?'

As if he could read her thoughts, a spiked silver head peered from around the co-pilot's seat, "He Sakura! Remember me?" most of his face was covered with a mask and there was a scar over his left eye.

"Kakashi?"

His eyes smiled in place of his mouth.

"Weren't you teaching literature and reading your pervy books last time I saw you?"

"I'm so glad you remember me! And so well!" he pulled out one of the aforementioned pervy books, "Now, to answer your previous questions; we don't know exactly who was shooting at Sasuke and you but we will find out. And, you are being taken to your new home/job."

"New job?" Sakura was very perplexed, "Why? I have nothing to do with this!"

"On the contrary, dear Sakura, you are involved. Right Sasuke?" Kakashi stated.

"Hn." Sasuke grunted.

'I should have known that he knew about this! The prick always keeps secrets to himself! Here I was hoping he's changed since high school, but I see he hasn't.' Sakura's inner voice raged on, but her outer voice asked, "Why?" in a very angry tone.

Sasuke crossed his arms and leaned back in his seat, "Because the director sees something in you that is promising or that he wants. What he wants, he gets." Sasuke's voice was irritated and he was tired of talking. He locked eyes with Sakura, which sent shivers down her spine, "You belong to the company now."

Before Sakura could ask what company, Kakashi stepped in, "Welcome to Sharigan."

.:~+*-*+~:.

The helicopter ride to the mysterious Sharigan was long and awkward, but as soon as they touched down, Sakura saw that they were on the roof of what looked like a business building. Sakura tried to get a look around to gather where she was but as soon as she touched the ground she was being led to a door on the other side of the rooftop by Sasuke and Kakashi. 'Man! Where are we? I can't tell anything from here!'

"Lee!" Sasuke yelled over his shoulder, connected eyes with Lee and he bolted over to the door, opened it, and raced into what lay beyond it.

When they reached the door, Kakashi opened it for them, Sakura nodded in thanks, and Sasuke and she walked through. As soon as the door closed behind them, Sakura inhaled deeply and fell unconscious into Sasuke's waiting arms. But before she clocked out, she could have sworn she heard a spray can being sprayed within a foot of her face.

"Sleep tight, little Sakura." Kakashi whispered lowly in her ear as they descended down various levels of steps into the world of Sharigan.
