LEAF VILLAGE, HOSPITAL; KONOHA

Dr. Edogawa stood in silence at the door, one hand using the door's molding for support. A clipboard was tucked in the crook of his arm and a vial of sedative was gripped loosely by limp fingers. The spectacular that had played out right before his mocha eyes left his speechless and bubbling with rage. Dr. Yusho kept a level gaze, returning his stare fully. Sakura lay comatose with three males surrounding her, her face paler than it had been before he left and her eyelids swollen. Throat-choking screams of anguish alerted him, and the tall doctor had rushed to the pinkette's room, only to watch as his young patient's life shattered. Dr. Yusho's flat eyes left his and observed the pitiful girl.

Holding back the urge to assault the female doctor, Dr. Edogawa strolled into the situation and just as quickly pulled Dr. Yusho out of it, slipping the door closed behind them, in hopes that his yelling wouldn't disturb the four inside.

"Dr. Yusho," he began slowly, his tone clipped. "May I ask what the fuck was that?"

"The girl needed to know, and why wait until she has returned to a happy life to once again ruin her sun?" Very slowly, the blond man's hands came up to hover above the black haired woman's pale neck. She did not react to his blatant show of anger. "How long would she have been kept in the darkness, if I had not told her now? One cannot just hide the murders of a girl's parents."

"We'd have done it as long as possible! Do you understand just how much stress she is under right now? What you've done," growled Dr. Edogawa, his hands now digging into the so, so ignorant woman's shoulders, "is just destroyed an already broken spirit." Dr. Yusho easily shrugged his hands off of her, leaving crumples in her pristine white coat.

"She is young and will recover." Looking up into his brown, furious eyes, Dr. Yusho admitted quietly, "I would never forgive myself if she became like me." Shoving his clipboard into her arms, Dr. Edogawa pushed Dr. Yusho back.

"And tell me, Dr. Yusho," he asked, moving to Sakura's room once again, his hand squeezing the handle, "what would Sakura become if she committed suicide?" Before she could attempt to answer his rhetorical question, Dr. Edogawa had slipped into the room, locking the door behind him. Dr. Yusho stared at the door, her fingers curling around the edge of the wooden clipboard.

"She is strong," she whispered. "Unlike me. Unlike us all." With a swish of her jacket, the black haired doctor walked away from room 138, her breaths even and slow, just like the sleeping girl's.

Thanks for the reviewers!
