Chapter 2
" How did you find her"
"Tsuanade, I was just going to the memorial, I sensed her chakra, I walked out and there she is holding a kunai to her neck." I recognized Kakashi's voice. He sounded tired and sad. I hadn't heard him sound like this since Sasuke left and the search party came back empty handed. I quieted my thoughts as I heard him begin to speak again. " I just don't understand, she seemed to be doing fine. I've been training with her for the past few years she's one of the top choices to become an ANBU captain. Its just..." he sighed.
" I know Kakashi but maybe were overlooking something, when was the last time you saw her." Tsuanade questioned.
" Last night at the bar, she was with Ino and Hinata." he replied easily.
" Did you talk to her" there are times when I wish she wasn't so smart. Besides Ino-pig she's the only one that knows of my feelings. I guess she's probably realized he had something to do with my condition.
" No I was kinda busy" he said sheepishly.
" Doing what?" I could practically see her raise an eyebrow.
" Well I was on a date"
" I see..." the only thing I could 'see' is the gears clicking in her head." Well she didn't harm herself and she is technically clear to leave the hospital as soon as she wakes up." I couldn't help but be grateful for that I just wanted to get the hell out of here. I decided it was time for me to magically recover my conscience.
"Shisui" I mumbled weakly. I was shocked to find my voice seemed to be cracked without me even faking it.
" Sakura, thank god your alright." She slapped me hard against the cheek. "What the he'll is wrong with you!" she screamed at me. "Are you out of your mind, you had me worried, you better be grateful that you didn't injure yourself or else I'd have killed you myself!" I'd never seen Shisui so angry. She kept clenching and unclenching her fists. She was even more riled up now then when Jirayai tries to see down her shirt.
" I'm sorry Shisui I don't know what came over me" I said. I attempted to smile but I couldn't quite manage it. All the sudden all of yesterday's events came rushing back. Kakashi with her. Holding her hand. Whispering sweet nothings in her ear. Hers not mine. I was nothing. He had someone else. And I couldn't blame him. She was prettier, more experienced, older, and even had a higher rank.
Anko
It wasn't like I had a problem with her. She always creeped me out considering she was Orchimaru's ex-student. I still remember the demonstration she did on Naruto during our first chunnin exams. Outside the forest of death. I couldn't repress my shudder as I remembered the forest and what happened there. Although it was the place I finally began to realize it was time to work harder even though it didn't click until much later.
" Sakura, I'd appreciate if you at least attempted to listen to what I say." Tsuanade reprimanded me.
" I apologize Shisui, I was...reminiscing" I said.
She gave me a pitying look before clearing it and repeating what shed been saying earlier.
" Sakura while you might be okay physically I'm slightly concerned about your mental state. So just to make sure you'll be staying at Kakashi's until further notice." she stated with absolute authority.
" What" I screeched. Immediately I turned to the other person in the room. I'd been trying to ignore looking at. I looked up at the man who had hurt me. All I could see was concern and... no I stopped the thought. No use making up an emotion. Why bother to get my hopes anymore. I was broken enough as it was. Besides he should be concerned he nearly saw his teammate and past student nearly die. It's the same as if it were Naruto or Sai. Then again it wouldn't of happened to either of them. Considering Naruto was always peppy and wouldn't dare to harm anything that could stop him form being the next Hokage. After all everyone knew he was next in line. And as for Sai, even with all the help he'd had from both Naruto and I he still had slight difficulty with simple emotions let alone things like love. Or more accurately heart break.
" Well Sakura I didn't think it would be such a big deal after all I was your sensei and it isn't like we don't spend the majority of our time together anyway." he said with his famous eye crinkle. " Does the idea of spending time with me repulse you that much", he chuckled obviously amused. Sometimes it shocked me how the man who knew me better than anyone couldn't tell that I was distinctly uncomfortable with him. After all after I made Jonin at 17 we were placed on the same team since Sai and Naruto didn't make Jonin until about 6 months after me. We were paired with Gemna. I remember finding out we were on the same team. I mean he was a notorious playboy and I was not looking forward to sharing a tent with him if you know what I mean. Shockingly he never made a move on me. Of course I could gather the reason considering he kept making fearful glances at my ex-sensei. I had never been more grateful to Kakashi in my entire life.
Of course I wasn't feeling any gratefulness right now all I felt was dread.
" Of course not Kakashi, I just don't want to be a burden I'm sure you have much more important things to do than take care of your ex-student", like make out with Anko. The thought alone made me want to empty my stomach of any of it's content.
" Not that i can think of and your also my teammate Sakura." another eye crinkle.
" Well then I guess there's no reason for you not to take care of me", I said with a forced smile, " when can we leave."
" As soon as you want I trust you to your captains care" Shisui said with a smirk. " But Kakashi you better make sure to stay close to her, I want weekly reports and I expect you to tell me if anythings wrong" she concluded. Thats it I was officially about to kill her. Hokage or not she was meddling and she was only going to make things worse. " Oh and Sakura one last thing", she paused at the door.
" What",I snapped at her.
She walked back to my bed and leaned into my ear, "your welcome", she stepped back and with one last smirk she was gone. I sighed. I turned to Kakashi and felt my feelings of despair return in full force. It didn't matter what my Shisui did you cosomeone make someone feel a certain way. Especially when they had an attractive woman who actually had curves and didn't look like an 11 year old boy. I sighed, I seemed to be doing that a lot lately.
" So I guess we should be going", I finally spoke trying to clear the silence that seemed to linger uncomfortably in the room.
" Yea, I defiantly don't want to be stuck here more than necessary. I don't know how you stand it all the chemicals and cleaners is making me nauseous and I don't work 12 hour shifts here".
" I know as a matter of fact you don't come here unless your dying and sometimes not even then" I grumbled out.
He just laughed and said, " Can't help it this place creeps me out. You need any help getting up?",he asked with concern.
" No I'm fine let's just get out of here", I answered. I really was fine but even if I wasn't I certainly wouldn't ask him for help. That would mean touching and I had a feeling this would be hard enough as it was without adding anymore problems.
" Alright let's go" he walked away from my bed and to the door. He opened and held it out then looked at me expectantly.
Once again for what seemed like the millionth time that day I sighed. Then I got out and walked out of the door and into my own personal hell.
