CHAPTER 3

"Patient's stable."

Everybody exhaled heavily. For a long moment it seems like they haven't breathed. They just saved the life of an 18-year-old teenage boy who's a witness of a heinous crime. The report says the suspect saw him, and was immediately shot twice. Fortunately, the man is currently arrested. Sasuke felt welcomed to kill the suspect, but sadly, he saves lives, he doesn't end them.

"I'll be going first." Sakura was the first to speak and went off. She was always in a hurry, as Sasuke noticed. He gave the final instructions to the nurses and decided to follow the pink-haired female. He couldn't be more intrigued.


For more than 10 years, he knew that Haruno Sakura was not the type of woman you wanted to stay inside a room with her for that long, yet here he was, smirking amusingly at the pink-haired doctor. Both of them were on a break after the operation, but they haven't spoken a single word.

He drank his cup of coffee as he observed his green-eyed former classmate, current colleague and he guessed, his friend? Sasuke noticed how she changed when he was gone for 3 years. She cut her hair, from waist-length it was all shorten just above her shoulders. He still remembered how soft and silky her hair was, wanting to run his fingers through her hair again. Her skin was visibly smooth, complimenting her green jade-like orbs. She grew more beautiful and womanly, perfectly graceful and at the same time, firm. Oh, how could he miss all these changes?

"You know it's impolite to stare, Dr. Uchiha." Sakura coughed, breaking the silence. She was trying hard not to be moved by his stares but it was too much. It's like he was pricking needles at her. "Don't you have anything to do rather than ogling at me?"

The Uchiha cleared his throat as he went back in the reality, "I am sorry, but I didn't mean to be rude." He sat straight from his chair as he started to engage a conversation. "You can still call me Sasuke, Sakura."

"And if I don't?" She snapped back.

"If I'm not mistaken, you called me by my first name when you saw me at the lounge. In fact, you even used –kun." Sasuke smirked even wider, he knew he was winning.

The pink-haired doctor scoffed, "Since when did you learn making fun, Dr. Uchiha?" Sakura tapped her foot against the floor as she placed her hands at her hips.

"Ever since you started acting like that."

Sasuke walked towards her, his eyes are still focused on her green-eyed ones. Sakura could only move backwards in her tiniest steps since she was already close enough to the wall. She gulped as she felt her heartbeat go faster, slowly turning her hands into fist.

"Why are you avoiding me, Sakura? You know how much I missed you." His husky yet delicate voice sent shivers to her spine. They were too close much to Sakura's liking. Despite of their current position, she cleared her voice and glared at the onyx-eyed doctor,

"If you ever miss me that much, why did you left in the first place? And what's worse? You didn't even say goodbye." Sakura knew her voice was breaking, in the verge of tears. "You should've expected me to avoid at your presence. Waiting for someone you aren't sure whether they'll come back or not is like waiting for someone who doesn't exist at all. Please listen to your words, Dr. Uchiha Sasuke."

Sakura immediately walked away before letting her tears fall. Her steps turned slower, she didn't expect that to happen.

She's hurt. Not because he left her.

She never stopped loving Uchiha Sasuke.


"It's okay miss, I won't hurt you." Ino sweat dropped as she internally calmed herself. She noticed that the girl was trembling; she didn't even utter a single word. The bruise and wounds around her body is without a doubt, wasn't caused by an accident.

The blonde-haired doctor tried to examine her wounds further, but the girl would stop her from doing so. She would swat the doctor's hands away or squeal if Ino touched her. "Where's the psychiatrist?" She asked irritatingly as if she couldn't take it anymore.

"Sorry, I'm late." A man with an onyx eyes and hair matched with pale skin entered. He smiled politely at Ino, leaving her stunned. His face is new to the female doctor, yet immediately described the male as rather good-looking.

The new doctor sat beside the patient, still smiling gently. He turned her head to the blonde, "It would be nice if I'll talk to the patient alone, Doctor. Then after this, you can attend to her wounds."

"Oh right, I-I'm sorry." She stuttered before going out the room.

'That was weird.' She thought. Of course it was. The girl was her patient yet she was easily kicked out by the new and (not to mention) handsome doctor.

"The nerve…" Ino picked up her guts and decided to return inside the room and teach the new doctor a lesson. As soon as she opened the door, the blonde saw the girl moving in a comfortable manner. The male doctor smiled as he asked questions in which the girl answered in return.

Ino smiled at the scene and closed the door gently. 'The guy was not so bad at all. Guess I'll just have to wait.'


"How is Akira?" Ino was refilling her cup of water when she heard the male's question.

"She's resting in her room. The bruise and cuts were already treated." She smiled at the doctor. "You seem to be serious while talking with her."

"Ah. She escaped from her abusive master. Akira was actually from the other village but she ran all the way to Konoha so she wouldn't be found. She made her way all through the hospital because she felt safe staying here."

"I see, that's a bit sad." Ino trailed off. "You must be a great doctor since you manage to let her tell her story, Doctor…?" She then remembered she didn't know his name yet.

"Sai, I'm Dr. Hatake Sai." He offered his hand to her and smiled. "And you are?"

"I'm Dr. Yamanaka Ino." She shook his hand briefly, but after that, he didn't let go immediately. Instead, he kissed the back of her hands, leaving Ino flustered. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Gorgeous."

She took her hands harshly; her face was still red from blushing. "Y-You're too kind."

"But isn't how you greet others? Otherwise, I still find you gorgeous and beautiful." He tilted his head innocently as he observed her from head to toe. This made Ino stammer even more, desperately finding a new topic to hide her embarrassment. Aha. "So, um, where have you worked before? I believe I heard you are a Hatake, are you related to the famous surgeon, Dr. Kakashi?"

"Dr. Kakashi is my adoptive father. When I was 3, I was diagnosed with dengue and my mother can't afford the hospital bill so she left me. Good thing otou-san came and took me as his son." Sai recalled, but Ino noticed that he is still smiling. Whouldn't you show sadness if you'll tell a story like that?

"Ah, before I worked here, I was part of the Konoha Medical Team during the war at the Stone Village with otou-san. He told me I would do better if I would work in a hospital so I ended up here."

Ino couldn't be more comfortable talking to a new doctor in the hospital. Sure, the blonde could be talkative, loud and dubbed as 'the gossip master', but she somehow felt warmth and comfort when they talked. Ino wouldn't miss the opportunity to make friends with a guy like him.

"Well, I'm sure you'll like it in here, Dr. Sai. You could approach me if you want someone to talk with, in short, I can be you friend!" She smiled sweetly until Nurse Udon interrupted their conversation.

"Dr. Yamanaka, you're up."

The female doctor huffed and rolled her eyes, "Fine, I'm on my way." She started to follow the nurse when she suddenly turned around to face Sai and smiled,

"Welcome to Konoha General Hospital, Dr. Hatake Sai!"

She ran and left Sai standing with his face emotionless, 'My first female friend.' He thought before going to his office.
