Note: Because the next bit is gonna be plot heavy, and not because I forgot to write chapter 17 in the first place, this is gonna be a little break which happens after chapter 14 in my story canon, I think. It never made it into the chapter because I couldn't get it to fit right. Anyway, this is after the fight where Shisui beats the shit out of Sakura and she "vaguely damages" his hand. Also, sorry its like, several hours or so late if you noticed, but I was playing Minecraft and lost track of time.


A shock of pain traveled through his arm, pulsing from where her fist had made contact. "I think you just broke my arm." He said, and to his credit, his voice didn't reflect his pain, that is, until she reached out to check and lifted it from its limp position by his side. He let out a slight gasp and she pushed her healing chakra through his arm. It went numb.

She grinned, face unapologetic as she spoke. "Sorry. I forget my strength sometimes, but uh, that should stop it from being too painful on the way to the hospital."

"Hospital?" He stared at her in horror. "You were a medic nin, can't you just heal it now."

"No."

"Please."

"No, but I will follow you and make sure you actually go there."

He stared at her, then pouted, muttering, "Why don't you trust me?"

She heard him. "Shinobi never go to hospitals unless they're unconscious or dragged there."


"Shit." She muttered, her foot slipping off the roof tile and almost throwing her to the ground.

"You alright?" Shisui slowed down, matching her pace instead of leading.

"Yeah. I'll be fine. Just found another bruise."

He nodded and took the lead again. She grimaced as soon as his back was to her, sweat beading against her forehead as she felt the strain on her chakra increase. The drain from maintaining both the block she put on Shisui's nerves and her upright position was proving to be too much for her younger body.

She felt her control slipping three minutes before she lost it for the first time. Shisui stopped in his path, and she stumbled into his back, leaving him gasping in pain as he hit the roof and his arm made contact with the tile. She pulled herself together as quickly as possible, closing her eyes as she added more chakra to the blocks on Shisui's arm. She wiped the sweat from her brow while Shisui got up, and made to continue forward. She didn't have much time left before her reserves hit critical low, and the hospital was still a bit of a ways away.

"Sakura?" Shisui stared at her in concern, pain shining behind his eyes every few moments as her control flickered. "Hey." His voice grew distorted as her reserves dipped past critical. "Sakura?" She fell against Shisui, her vision fading to black as her body shut down to keep her alive.


Shisui raced through the doors, ignoring the pain in his arm in favor of getting the girl in his arms help. The receptionist stared at him, wide-eyed and panicked, and the figure in his arms, passed out and caked in dirt and blood, before nodding and calling over a nurse.

She took Sakura from his arms, apparently a lot stronger than she looked, as she carried the girl as if she weighed nothing. He trailed behind her as she brought Sakura into an unoccupied room on the second floor.

"It's just chakra exhaustion. She'll be fine." The nurse smiled down at Sakura before turning to Shisui. She glared at him, eyes piercing his very soul as her smile turned a little more sinister by the second. He gulped. He hated hospitals.


She smelled the hospital before she saw it, the distinct scent of Konoha's disinfectants creeping into her airways as she woke up. She sneezed before opening her eyes, relieved when she wasn't immediately blinded by a light. The room was dark, and Shisui sat to her left.

"What time is it?" She asked, and Shisui glared at her.

"You idiot. You just up and collapsed and the nurse tells me you were blocking my pain with your chakra-"

"What time is it, Shisui."

"Noon."

"Shit. So I was out for, what, four hours?"

"Exactly. Four hours Sakura. Do you know-"

She ignored him. "What room is this?"

"What roo- Sakura, I am trying to lecture you right now." She gave him a look and he sighed. "205."

She threw the sheets from her legs, swinging them from the bed and staggering towards the window. She tried to force chakra through her system to steady herself, but nothing happened. "No chakra. Of course." She muttered before calling out to Shisui.

"We have about three minutes until a nurse comes in to check on us, we have to act before then."

"What?"

"Let's go, Shisui!" She yelled, forcing the window open.

"What?! Sakura, you have chakra exhaustion." He cried out, staring at her in shock.

"Yes, and you have legs. Pick me up and run." He stared at her in shock. "Let's GO Shisui!"

The door started to open as she clambered on to Shisui's back. He crouched on the window sill and leapt down as the door opened.

The nurse paused at the door, staring wide eyed as they leapt from the window. Sakura made eye contact with the nurse and let out a whoop, waving as she dropped from the second floor.


"You were right, I guess. Shinobi never go to hospitals unless they're unconscious or dragged there."

"What?"

"You were unconscious, and you started by dragging me there."
