Sakura got back to the hospital and helped to thin out the patients in the ER. With only a few scattered and non-emergency patients in the lobby, she decided to go check on the Uchiha again. Alarmingly, he was in a state of getting dressed when she walked in the room. A half-naked, attractive man stood in front of her, causing her to blush automatically. She had to overpower her immediate reaction of apologizing and leaving. Sakura forced herself to look at his face and not stare at his stunning (and bare) torso. The cherry-colored girl mentally slapped herself. Apparently, Sasuke had affected her more than she thought. She probably just needed to have sex, just not with Sasuke.
Sakura fixed a smile to her face. "You're not supposed to be leaving yet, Uchiha-san. You weren't trying to run away, were you? Because that would be highly inappropriate behavior from an Anbu captain, and I would have to immediately inform the Hokage about such actions." The Uchiha unbuckled his pants, his eyes daring her. He was sorely mistaken if he believed his nude body was enough to throw her off her game. She was a medic, a professional. She could do this. Sakura hoped.
"If you want to get me to leave, you're going to have to do better than that, Uchiha-san." He frowned and began to put his hospital gown back on again. "Stop." She grabbed a fresh gown from the cupboard and took the old gown from him. "Here. You have been asleep for over a day. That one is probably dirty."
"Smelled fine to me."
She smelled it. "Ah, I guess one of the nurse's must have changed you." And noticing he didn't have a foul odor either, "And gave you a sponge bath." Sakura smiled. "That's funny. I didn't tell them to." It was the Uchiha's turn to look embarrassed and slightly nervous. Sakura just laughed. The young nurses sure loved the shinobi men, specifically the attractive ones. He quickly regained his composure and remembered he had been trying to leave.
He thumbed the edge of his boxer briefs. "Haruno-san, do you happen to have a change of underwear?" He slid his underwear of in one quick motion. Her heart leapt to her throat. She was sure he could hear it. The light from the window made his pale skin glow and flowed over his well-formed muscles. The grooves and shadows of his body were enough to make Sakura's mouth run dry. His black hair framed his face and swept across his shoulders. She was a medic, a professional. She could do this. Maybe. She repeated this until she once again forced a smile to her face.
"I know what you are trying to do, Uchiha. It won't work. And, for the record, no we don't have any underwear."
He crossed his arms and faced Sakura, revealing all of himself. She swore blood would start pouring from her orifices if he kept this up. "And what is it I'm trying to do?"
She swallowed desperately trying to make her voice sound strong. "Make me uncomfortable enough to leave, so you can escape while you should still be under my care." And then Sakura realized, she had the upper hand. She beamed at him. "But I think there is one thing you forgot."
"Oh? And what is that?" He wore a confident smirk on his face. Or what Sakura assumed was a smirk for the icy Uchiha.
"I dated your younger brother for years." The smirk fell off his face and landed with a thunk on the floor. "In fact, if were sharing, I lost my virginity to him. So unless you'd like me to go into great detail about how your bodies differ," Sakura took a long stare at his nude form, all of his nude form, for effect. If she could have, she would have let out a girlish squeal of delight. "I would suggest you get back in that bed and stay there. Because, trust me, if I have to run around Konoha tracking you down, it will be so much worse."
The stubborn captain grunted and put his gown and underwear back on his body. He sat back into the bed and Sakura strolled over to him. "Now, you were admitted with a severe chest wound, broken arm, three fracture ribs, and an array of lacerations. You were very near to death when you were brought in and lost a great deal of blood. You're healing at a steady rate. But for the next few days, please avoid anything stressful because you'll undo all of my hard work." Itachi heard a click and looked down. A chakra-resistant pair of handcuffs chained him to the bed. "Like I'm going to trust you." Sakura scoffed. "And don't worry about the bathroom. I'm sure the nurses will be glad to help." The girl paced briskly out of the room and shut the door behind her.
Sakura leaned against the wall outside, trying to calm her heart rate. She put a hand to her chest and took a deep breath. Itachi was far too attractive to try to use himself as a weapon. What was he trying to do? Kill her? Her stomach turned to knots at the thought of him affecting her so much.
"I need to have sex with someone, anyone but an Uchiha."
She didn't even realize she said it out loud until she heard, "So I did unnerve you, little kunoichi." She turned bright red and ran to her office. Sakura covered her face in shame. She was calling Ino, immediately. They were going out tonight.
