Darkness was all I could see until my eyes struggled to open and they finally did.
The first thing I saw was Sasuke once I sat up and my body jumped, utterly startled.
My eyes scanned the room and I then realized I was laying in this bed.
Sasuke was sitting in a chair that was in front of my bed.
He looked so nonchalant but emotionless.
From the corner of my eye, I noticed someone laying in another bed that was right next to me, and I realized it was Hinata once I turned to the right.
She was still unconscious and Naruto was sitting on a chair in front of her bed.
We were in the infirmary.
"Heh! You've finally woke up Sakura-chan!" Naruto acknowledged casually and chuckled.
Innocently, I looked over at Hinata in concern, and asked quietly, "Is she okay?"
"Yeah she'll be fine. She's such a weirdo though! She always faints whenever she sees me, it's kind of getting annoying," Naruto complained childishly while he aloofly put his hands behind his head and he groaned.
"CHA! Don't call her that! You jerk!" I hollered, Inner Sakura coming out of me, and I clenched my right fist tightly.
Naruto winced and then gulped.
"Eh heh. Sorry..." he apologized with a nervous laugh while rubbing his head and then added flirtatiously, "By the way Sakura-chan, you look really cute in your swimsuit!"
He flashed me a wink and I instantly winced as a gasp of fear escaped my mouth.
Sheepishly, I covered myself with arms, feeling utterly mortified, and my cheeks flushed of pink.
"S-Shut u-up! You idiot!" I yelled embarrassed, my cheeks heating up even more, and I then avoided eye contact.
A huff of annoyance had exited out Sasuke's mouth and I saw him roll his onyx eyes as he scowled.
That reminds me...
Sasuke has been waiting for me to wake up all this time and I wonder how long he's been waiting...
He...He didn't have to wait for me to wake up though. It's not required or anything so...maybe he does really care about me?
"CHA! THE NURSES PROBABLY PRESSURED HIM TO STAY!" Inner Sakura roared ferociously and clenched her right fist.
Hm, that probably is the reason...
Wait...does that mean Sasuke-kun carried me all the way here!?
My entire instantly flushed of pink as I bashfully stared down at my lap and I tried my best to avoid eye contact.
"Hey Sakura-chan, what's wrong?" Naruto inquired puzzled, probably noticing the pinkness scattering all around my face, and I winced.
"N-Nothing!" I assured nervously and I waved my arms around frantically as I felt utterly mortified.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow suspiciously at my odd behavior and I felt myself blush even more at seeing him.
Unexpectedly, one of the female nurses had advanced towards the left side of my bed, and flashed me a heart-warming smile.
"I'm surprised to see you as a patient for once, Sakura-chan. Usually you're the one tending to the patients," she told me smiling and laughed softly.
I laughed bashfully while closing my eyes, my laugh being fake, and I replied quietly, "Yeah, the irony... Haha."
"Were you out in the rain yesterday?" she questioned curiously, running a finger through her short sandy-brunette hair, and blinked repeatedly.
"Yeah, I was training. Sorry, I'll try to be less careless next time," I told her kindly, flashing her a fake heart-warming smile, and the memory of Sasuke seeing me train in the rain entered into my mind.
I felt guilt consume me as I hoped that Sasuke wouldn't get ill either and a tiny frown formed across my lips.
"Hey, you're awfully handsome, do you have a girlfriend?" the nurse suddenly asked Sasuke in a flirtatious manner as she was bending down so her face was inches away from his and she flashed him a wink.
Instantly, I twitched as my body grew more tense, wincing, and I felt anger building up from inside me.
"Why does it matter?" he asked nonchalantly, his voice somewhat cold, and he didn't even turn his head to look at her.
She ran her index slowly across his collarbone and seductively whispered into his ear while smirking, "I guess you're right, it shouldn't matter."
I rolled my eyes in annoyance as I felt my cheeks flush of scarlet red while I attempted to contain my anger and my twitching wouldn't ceased.
"CHA! ADMIT IT! YOU'RE JEALOUS!" Inner Sakura abruptly declared while smirking and adjusted both of her hands onto her hips confidently.
Pft. I am NOT jealous. I have no reason to be.
"CHA! YEAH YOU ARE!" Inner Sakura retaliated furiously and clenched both of her fists.
NO I'M NOT!
Groan.
How annoying...
"Don't touch me," Sasuke told her coldly, his voice was quiet but menacing, and he glared at her.
"Oh come on, don't you wanna have fun?" she asked seductively as she placed a hand on the side of Sasuke's face and chuckled.
"Uh, lady... Can you like...leave?" Naruto asked awkwardly and he was twitching.
"Can you like...shut up?!" the nurse hissed angrily at Naruto and Sasuke then slapped her hand away from his face.
"I said don't touch me," Sasuke told her sternly, his eyes menacing, and he glared at her.
"Oh come on, don't be like that," she whispered flirtatiously, touching his face once again, and smirked.
Without thinking, I jumped out of my bed as I tightly clenched both of my fists, and my eyes passionately burned of pure anger.
"CHA! HE SAID NOT TO TOUCH HIM!" I thundered infuriated, Inner Sakura unleashing from within me, and I growled while I was blushing furiously.
Sai then abruptly entered into the room and he blinked puzzled.
"Huh? Who would want to touch Ugly?" Sai asked innocently, obviously not hearing me correctly, and he blinked repeatedly in confusion.
"SAI!" I erupted in full rage, Inner Sakura fully taking control, and my clenched fist brutally slammed into his face.
Sai's body collided into the wall and blood was oozing out of his nose and mouth.
He fell to the floor.
Silence.
I put a hand to my mouth in worriment as my face turned blue and I felt an tremendous amount of overwhelming guilt.
"Sakura! This is an infirmary! We don't use violence here!" the nurse hollered enraged as she took her hand off of Sasuke and angrily adjusted both of her hands onto her hips.
"I know. I'm sorry," I mumbled as I quickly rushed over to Sai and he sat up.
I bent down while putting my right hand onto his face and began to heal him as chakra surged through my hand.
Sai then averted his eyes towards my chest.
My body instantly jumped, feeling the blood rush to my cheeks, and I twitched.
"Nice bikini," Sai commented sarcastically and he added with a fake smile, "I should call you Titless instead."
I twitched, immensely trying to contain my anger; however, it was futile.
I hit Sai lightly on the head, stood up straight, and growled.
"That's it! You can heal yourself!" I huffed stubbornly as I walked back towards the others and I crossed my arms.
Even though Sai was just kidding, his words had hurt me deeply, and felt my heart sunk.
I guess I deserve feeling this way for punching him...
Sigh.
"I can't stand this. I'll have someone else take my shift. I'm leaving. Goodbye!" the nurse hissed bitterly and walked out the door.
She can't do that! That is so unprofessional! What about all her other patients?!
What if someone got hurt at this exact moment and she wasn't there?!
I scowled as I clenched my jaw tightly and my eyes were fierce.
Hinata had suddenly awoken and she moaned a little.
She sat up in her bed while rubbing her eyes and winced once she saw us all staring at her.
Her eyes widened enormously as her cheeks heated up and she questioned bashfully, "W-What h-happened?"
"You fainted," Naruto answered casually and then told her with a smile, "Glad you're okay!"
"N-Naruto-k-kun..." she whispered breathlessly and her entire face flushed of red.
"DON'T FAINT!" Naruto abruptly yelled as his sweat dropped and laughed nervously.
Everyone laughed quietly, except for Sasuke of course...
"Alright, let's head back to the pool!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly and chuckled.
Everyone began to slowly proceed towards the door, except for me, and Naruto came to a halt once he saw I wasn't moving.
"Aren't you coming, Sakura-chan?" he asked puzzled.
"No. What that nurse did just now was ridiculously unprofessional. How dare she leave when anyone can get injured at any second. What if the person that was taking over her shift couldn't make it or didn't get there in time? Then what? I'm staying here until that person comes. I'll tend to any upcoming patients," I stated sternly, my voice powerful, and my eyes were fierce.
The blond nodded.
"I understand, Sakura-chan. Well, we will all be waiting in the pool for you," Naruto advised casually, flashing me a smile, and walked out the door.
I nodded while smiling and turned around.
As they exited, I heard all of their footsteps exit the room; however, I then heard footsteps advancing towards me from behind.
Instinctively, I turned around to see Sasuke, and I winced.
He smirked.
