It was a crappy morning. Sakura woke up with a headache, it was pissing it down outside, she couldn't find anything to take for her headache and her car was failing to start.*Sigh*... "FUCKING HELL! ARGHHHH" she screamed to the highest of her lungs while hitting the wheel of her car. "Great... Looks like I'm going to have to hire a taxi... I'm in such a rotten mood, this Tsunade woman better not be as bad as she sounded on the phone" she mumbled to herself.
She called a taxi and it showed up within 10 minutes. 'Well it looks like I'm going to be there on time, that's one positive thing I suppose' she thought to herself.
Sakura walked out of the house towards the taxi and was then driven there. When she got there, she was 10 minutes early 'oh thank god for that' she thought in relief.
She walked up to the entrance of the institution and observed the building 'It looks pretty dull but not that bad' she thought walking in.
She walked up to the desk to find no one there she leaned over the desk to see if there was anyone in the room behind but couldn't manage to see 'is there a bell or something I can ring to get someone's attention?' She thought to herself scanning across the desk, 'nope.. Nothing' looks like I'm going to have to call out to them, great.
"Hello? Is anyone there? I have an interview here at 8" she called out. Suddenly she heard a crash of papers hit the floor in the room behind the desk, then heard some footsteps tapping quickly to her direction.
"Oh god sorry! I didn't realized someone came through the door, I was sorting out stuff and I got too distracted, I hope you weren't waiting too long... Were you?"
Said a small woman bowing apologetically towards her 'I wonder if this girl was the one on the phone, it sounds like her, what was her name again? Hinata wasn't it?'
she thought to herself, not realizing that they were stood there silently for a good minute or two.
"Yes! Wait no! I haven't been waiting long, don't worry yourself it's all fine, are you the lady who was on the phone? Hinata was it?" She said kindly, not wanting to make the young woman more depressed and apologetic.
"Yes, my name is Hinata, you have a very good memory! Tsunade is quickly sorting out one of her patients, he's being a bit fussy and it's taking her longer than usual to treat him today but hopefully it wont take much longer to sort out. Would you like tea or coffee while you wait Miss Haruno?" She said in a quiet and sweet tone.
"Oh no need to be formal, just call me Sakura I don't mind, and sure! Tea please if you don't mind" Sakura smiled. "Of course that's fine, I'll go make it for you now,
please take a seat while you're waiting" she said smiling before walking back into the room to make her drink. She soon walked back out with two hot drinks and passed one to Sakura, than sat next to her on the sofa.
"So Miss Ha... Sakura sorry, what made you want to apply for this job?" Hinata said with interest "Well, to be honest, when I first saw the advertisement I was off with the thought of doing a job like this, then after a while it started growing on me and now I'm interested and feel pretty enthusiastic about this role, it's strange but yeah I thought it was worth a shot" Hinata stared with interest, concentrating on everything she was saying until suddenly they jumped a mile after hearing a door slam loudly down the end of one of the halls.
"It looks like Tsunade is finally finished" Hinata quietly said while smiling wearily 'oh god... she sounds even more scary than she was on the phone' she slowly heard loud footsteps coming closer towards their direction until A grown woman with long blonde hair dressed casually except for the long white lab coat which had a few splatters of blood on it, she didn't look amused. 'Looks like that patient really was being a pain in the ass' she thought chuckling to herself before realizing that she was glaring at her. In shock Sakura stood "Hello there Tsunade is it? Nice to meet you, I'm Sakura" she said holding her hand out to shake the woman's hand.
Tsunade looked down onto her hand then looked back into her eyes until suddenly the next thing Sakura knew, she was being forced into a tight hug with the grown woman. "Haha no need with the formality Sakura, we're all relaxed and casual here, now lets start with the interview!" Tsunade said enthusiastically. 'Bloody hell.. I didn't expect that' Sakura thought in shock as she turned to look at Hinata, the young girl seemed to have been grinning at her 'I guess I might actually like it here' she thought happily as she followed the older woman to where they were having the interview.
"Right then Sakura, Why would you like to do this role?" Tsunade simply said
"Well, I recently gave up my recent job as a doctor because of personal issues and decided that I wanted to do another job medical related, I was looking around then stumbled across this job and thought that this is a new opportunity for me to test my skills" Sakura said professionally with confidence.
"Well from the looks of your qualifications, you seem to have more than what is required for the nurse role, hmm... I just thought, A few weeks ago, one of our doctors walked out on us and we have had a space for a little while for someone to fill, I was wondering if you would prefer to take on that role instead of the nursing role?" Tsunade asked, hoping for a good response.
'oh my god, A doctors role? This is too good to be true!' She thought with happiness, "Yes! I would love that role, as I was previously a doctor I was unsure with becoming a nurse but this is brilliant!"
"Fantastic! Well welcome aboard Sakura! Lucky for you, you don't have to wear a nursing uniform now haha you can dress casually like me! Well... casual but tidy. Anyway let me show you around the place and then decide what hours you'll be doing and introduce you to the patient you're assigned to." She said as they got up from their seats and started the tour around the institution.
"Wait. Hold on. Patient? Only one? Don't the doctors have to look after all the patients?" Sakura asked with confusion.
"Well some of the doctors look after a small group of patients, but you're replacing a doctor who was assigned to a specific patient, actually you're helping me loads, I've had to be dealing with this patient on top of all my other ones while we've been searching for a replacement and to be honest, it was getting a bit too much for me"
"Wait... You're making it sound as if the patient is pretty bad and difficult to handle" she said with worry.
"Nah, he's not that bad and don't listen to what the other doctors and nurses say, they don't know him or his background. Once you get to know him and he gets to know you it will be fine, trust me."
'I don't think I like the sound of this... Wait. What am I saying? I'm not scared of anything! In fact bring it on! I take this patient head on!' She thought to herself.
"So Tsunade, is this patient a male or female?"
"Oh the patient is a male and about the same age as you, his name is Gaara" she said while pointing out certain rooms and where the cafeteria and toilets are.
"The same age? That's pretty young for a patient here, poor boy and what a strange name... Gaara... Never heard of that name before"
"Yes his name is quite different and you could say he's far from average" she said with a chuckle.
"So why is here a patient here Tsunade? What's wrong with him?"
"Oh well I don't know anything about his past except that he was brought here at the age of seven for attacking and killing his uncle, it seemed as though he was pushed and pushed until he lost it, well at least that was whats written on the files, I wasn't working here when he first came here. Anyway he has good days and bad days and can easily get angry, he also doesn't communicate very often with people, he either tends to ignore them or just act cocky towards them, in other words Sakura, hold your ground and don't let him get the better of you from what I've seen from you today I reckon you can easily handle him."
This was a lot of information to take in. From what it seems, it looks as though she'll have to stick to her tough bad girl personality and sort him out 'I'm not going to just sit there are let him get the better of me I will take him on' she thought to herself. "Ok Tsunade, I guess I'm ready to meet my new patient" she said with confidence.
"That's the spirit Sakura, ok follow me, his room is the very last room on the right in this hall, number 17. Get ready, this might be quite the introduction" She said then casually laughed.
Sakura smirked "That's fine, I'll soon put him in his place" she said before they came up to his door and made their way into the room.
Ooo interesting isn't it? I wonder how the introduction will be? hehe
