I'M ON VACATION SO NO PRESSURING FOR UPDATES UNTIL I GET BACK! THAT'll BE THE SECOND WEEK OF JULY!

Okay so I think I have a couple more entering the competition! Remember to tell remind me if you're in it or not!

Konan/Sakura/Sasori

I walked into the hospital feeling incredibly bored. I haven't been able to do anything but work for ages… it completely sucks! Suddenly a flash of blue came out in front of me and I was instantly enveloped in a tight hug. "Sakura!" A girl shouted happily. I looked down to see my old friend Konan. I haven't seen her since high school… why didn't she show up here with the others?

"Hey there Konan." I said feeling a bit more energized. Instantly Sasori walked up to us looking annoyed. I began to smile and hold her hand tightly not wanting my friend to go. I haven't seen this little troublemaker in ages! We used to do the craziest stuff together! Most of which was never proven to this day.

"Aren't you supposed to be with Pain? You were never supposed to let her know that you're here." Sasori hissed angrily taking another step toward us. I typically don't see him in a grouchy mood so I just stood there smiling, while keeping my hand in hers. I looked at the rose in her hair and smiled. She hasn't changed in looks but I think she probably has in other ways.

If I were a normal person then I would have run away by now. These people are so dangerous and outlaws in some places… but yet I'm not normal. I'm completely un-average. I enjoy their company and hang out with some of them whenever I can. I don't think I'll ever stop this habit.

"So you have to save lives, right?" Konan asked with a yawn looking bored. I smirked knowing when we were younger we used to send people to the hospital, not fix them up. It's gotta be weird for her. It amused me though, knowing that she seems weirded out by the concept of fixing people. Poor girl.

"Yep that's my job. If I didn't I may get fired." I laughed as Sasori rolled his eyes and Konan looked at me in amazement. I like being appreciated. It's a nice feeling even if no one else cares to admit it. I smiled at them and continued to smile as I led them over to my office where Neji looked incredibly happy.

A frown replaced my happy smile and a chill filled the air.

Crap… more work. When we entered the office Neji had an angelic smile on his face with something behind his back. It scared me to say the least. I backed up until I was pressed against Sasori just as Neji pounced and gave me my packed schedule.

"Please say this isn't all for today." I pleaded feeling my eyebrow begin to show the beginning signs of twitching.

"Nope. It's for the next couple of hours. I'll give you the other schedule when you finish." He grinned making me go into full out twitch mode. Why am I one of the only ones to get piled with work here? Maybe that's why I get my own assistant… crap.

"Don't worry. Gaara's this busy too. After that no one here really does much. No such pressure for the other doctors. The surgeons though? That's another issue entirely." Sasori informed me with a smug smile. Oh yes he's just so proud of himself for knowing all this useless information.

"How do you guys like hot chocolate?" Haku asked innocently from his corner on the floor. We all looked down at him in mild surprise except for Neji who just glared.

"Your schedule." He reminded me harshly. I glared at my stupid secretary then took a deep breath and nodded anyway. I might as well head along now. Haku stood up instantly and bowed before us with his long black hair falling at his sides.

"I will make it and search for you all so you can still have a nice drink for your hard day." He smiled letting me know that god loves me very much. We all gave him our thanks then headed to my first destination, it was cool showing my old friend where I work and what I do but soon it got annoying.

"Can't you just throw a couple Advil her way?" Konan asked looking bored while I was helping the implant patient with checking his temperature before bringing him to the surgery room. He was complaining about his poor liver failure making her lose all interest in him fast.

I want to laugh but at the same time I want to cry. Sasori was there to keep me sane though… to an extent. "When he dies will he donate his organs to the hospital?" He asked me while the man was in front of us on the cart. If only I could slap him and take back what the poor man just hear my friend say… but I can't.

"No, he hasn't signed the agreement form." I informed Sasori in a diplomatic tone and brought the man to the room he was meant to go to. Sasori turned to me with and odd look on his face then glared in disgust at the poor man.

"That's pathetic! All humans should offer up their blood and bones to help others and keep doctors like you happy with all the supply." Sasori said while we walked away from the room. I glared at Sasori then my eyes widened.

"You would give up your organs to the hospital?" I asked thinking that would be insane. He's into everlasting art but that… that's a bit messed up if you really think about it.

"No, never. That's just grotesque for the world to lose someone as beautiful as me." He informed Konan and I. She laughed while I had to restrain myself from going back there and informing the man that Sasori is an idiot and should be ignored since he would never follow his own advice since it would mean ruining his pretty face.

I wanted to but I can't… damn Neji and his stupid tight schedule.

"This is a lot of fun." Konan informed us sarcastically.

"Shut up." I growled angrily and looked around for Gaara. Maybe he will share my load a bit! That would be amazing! I may owe him a date or some drinks if he does it!

When I saw Gaara I quickly took him off my list of help. He looked dead to the world as he rushed around to complete his own list of crap to do. Too many people are in the hospital lately! It's so stupid… Motorcycles should be illegal, football should end, and the world would be so much better if freak accidents were just freak accidents that never happen.

"You look tired." I commented making the redhead grunt a response then head off like a zombie to his next appointment. I watched him for a moment then sighed and went on with my own work.

"Your hot cocoa?" Haku asked curiously from beside us. I blinked in shock at seeing someone other than Sasori, Konan and my patients… ignoring the monster Gaara.

"Didn't you promise to give this to us a while ago?" Konan asked curiously.

"It's only been fifteen minutes." Haku answered innocently.

A few hours later when the work of the day is done and only paperwork is there to be finished…

"I'm going to head out to a bar or something… jeez why don't you just quit?" Konan asked looking exhausted but not nearly as bad as the person who ACTUALLY DID STUFF TODAY!

"I'll hang out with you I guess." Sasori sighed making me laugh bitterly at him. He's such a bastard sometimes.

"I wouldn't want to inconvenience you." I growled but walked into my office anyway and glared at all the letters.

"Do you want me to read them?" the redhead asked but I looked over at him suspiciously from my comfortableness of being sprawled out on my leather boss chair. I got it shipped here from Peru.

"I'll read them for you." Neji said with a pointed glare at Sasori. I chuckled at that but didn't make a motion to move. If I had then perhaps I would have gotten up the strength to read them on my own… what's the use of having a secretary if all he does is the boring stuff?

Dear Sakura,

Konan appears to be doing well.

Pain.

P.S. don't hang out with us too much or you will lose your pretty hair.

My eyes widened at this and I instinctively reached for my hair making Sasori laugh while Neji cracked a smile.

Saku-chan!

I'm tied up with something but don't worry! Deidara may return or may not!

Tobi

P.S. you looked cute today, when you were all worn out and grumpy

None of us said a word but just tossed the two letters through the shredder. Gaara would be proud that we've been keeping up with that while he's gone.

Dear Sakura Haruno,

I am pleased to inform you that I was not bored today. Somehow I was kept entertained.

Sasori.

P.S. I'm starting to like doctor outfits more than maids

Neji and I both looked at Sasori but he wasn't ashamed so we gave up trying to give him a conscience.

Dear Sakura,

You've been looking a bit stressed. Do you want to go out sometime to calm your nerves? If we do get to go out though, no fish please. The guys keep making jokes saying you'll take me out for sushi… that's just harsh.

Kisame.

P.S. what's up with you replacing the curtains every time we take them down?

I glared and said nothing while Sasori opened his mouth. Haku instantly shoved a hot fudge brownie into his mouth shutting the boy up. That's when the rest of us got jealous and begged for brownies.

DEAR SAKURA,

ThAnK YoU fOr BeInG sUcH a GoOd DoCtOr BuT I'm GoInG tO hAvE tO tAkE yOuR cHaIr. It Is A bOsS cHaIr LiKe MiNe AnD mInE iS jEaLoUs.

Tsunade.

P.S. I'm A lItTle DrUnK

I laughed out loud and asked to look at the letter to see if she really wrote it like how Neji said. Sure enough her writing was just weird. I laughed louder until a bulky man came into the room and stole the chair I was sitting on. Pouting, I decided to sit on the comfy floor instead.

Sakura,

I may leave for a little while. Jashin isn't happy since I haven't been sacrificing for him like normal. I love you and all but I don't want him to ruin us because I left him hungry for blood. I don't want to get you in trouble or have them looking for you so I'll go to another state and kill. I'll be back soon though so don't worry.

Hidan.

P.S. do you know how many cuss words I wanted to write in that single letter?

I forced out a laugh but I was too busy thinking about that. Hidan is leaving for a while? That's when I again remembered that he's a murderer who tortures his victims for Jashin. I had almost forgotten about that. Haku patted my shoulder but said nothing while we waited for Neji to read Sasuke's letter.

Sakura Haruno,

How long have you known Naruto? I was hanging out with him at the bar earlier today when he mentioned being in love with you. Tell your secretary to write a list of all the guys that like you so I can be prepared for the competition. Kisame doesn't count since he'll be my dinner one day. Naruto… will get over it eventually.

Sasuke.

P.S. I love you

We threw the letter away then began to work on stupid paperwork.

"You seem pissed."Sasori smirked.

"You look like you need open throat surgery." I retorted making everyone shut up and let me work.
