I hope you enjoy and I will be back soon with a long chapter full of yum for all of you. Hope your not to mad at me. I tried so hard. Please review.
Sakura sighed as she threw her white coat onto its peg on the coat hanger by the door of her office. She turned and looked over it one last time making sure there was nothing left to finish. She wouldn't allow any of her patients to be left needing care that she could have done before she left. She stretched her arms above her head earning a soft pop from her back and shoulders and sighed with a bit of relief. Flipping the lights off she exited and locked the door quickly. As soon as she turned around however her eyes became level with a very blue chest. Instantly a smile spread across her petal soft lips as she looked up at Kisame whom simply chuckled.
"Hey there Pinky ready to go?" Kisame cracked a smile at the woman in front of him. His hand placed on the top of her head patting it gently.
"Knock it of Kisame." Sakura laughed and smacked his hand away playfully. Kisame smirked and draped an arm over her shoulder. Sakura just smiled in return and the two set off toward her apartment. "So where's your other half?"
"You'd rather his companionship than mine? Well now I'm wounded Pinky." Kisame feigned a look of hurt and pouted a bit.
"Oh yes considering our conversations are so engaging. I mean just earlier he said 'hn' to me." Sakura faked a swoon causing Kisame to roar with laughter throwing his head back. If Sakura hadn't witnessed the fact that the man beside her was a trained killer she could have almost mistaken him as harmless. Almost being the key word. More often than not he was in fact a deadly man who could and would kill on necessity.
"So after we move you then what? I vote for drinks just the two of us." Kisame winked pulling the slender woman toward him affectionately. At this she stiffened and her eyes narrowed. Not because she didn't like the contact. That was never a problem. It was due to the whispering from several people around them.
"Isnt that Sakura Haruno with an Akatsuki member?"
"She should be ashamed of herself being so close to one of them."
"A traitor to her village and the Hokage if you ask me."
"Hey why don't the lot of you shut the hell up!" Kisame turned to them with a growl. His fists clenched tightly and teeth clamped hard almost grinding.
"Kisame-kun it's fine." Sakura tried to calm the man down placing a hand on his arm.
"No it's not Pinky. You've saved every one of them at least once. They should show some fucking respect. Besides you can't be a traitor because were now a part of Konoha. That makes us leaf shinobi so you can all stuff it, and apologize to Sakura-Hime. That isn't a request either." Kisame yelled and glared at the people around them.
"Kisame it's really not important. I just don't have to heal them the next time they're laying on the ground bleeding profusely." Sakura smiled as if she had not a care in the world, and took Kisame's hand in her own pulling him to continue walking with her. He noticed that she hadn't let go either. It caused him to fight a blush down along with the urge to pull the woman into his arms and kiss her heavily.
"Hey Pinky, you know I'd protect you no matter what right?" Kisame asked pulling her to his side and holding her to his side as she opened her front door.
"Cherry-chan!" Came a voice interrupting her before she could answer. She was ripped from Kisame's side by none other than Tobi. With a laugh he hugged her tight and swung her around. She hugged him back and smiled to Kisame that promised they'd continue later.
"How have you been Tobi-kun? I hope you've been a good boy." Sakura asked with a smile.
"Oh yes Tobi is a good boy. He helped pack up Cherry-senpai's house into the transfer scrolls. That way she could relax when she came to the base." Tobi said proudly reminding Sakura of a small child that had accomplished something.
"So the packings done?" Kisame asked with a smirk on his lips.
"Yup and Leader-sama wants to see you both as soon as you get back. Tobi has to go now to help Konan-sempai!" And with that Tobi was off like a shot down the path.
"I guess everything taken care of then." Sakura smiled and Kisame nodded changing their path Towards the base.
