Currently Sakura was standing in front of the meeting room door listening to the whispering voices that were on the other side. She had gone first to the commander office, only to find it empty. She had stopped a cadet that was walking past her and decided to ask him about the blonde man whereabouts. After some nervous stuttering by the young cadet, she was able to understand the word "Meeting".

She expressed her gratitude with a quick bow and turned around to her new destination.

Since she didn't want to intrude or get caught spying, she turned her heels in the other direction, the infirmary. Even if she didn't have the commander permission she was going to attend the injured, after all it was her duty as a medic. If she decided to turn her back and wait for the commander, she would be insulting her sensei teaching. Although she actually doubted he'll be mad if she healed his soldiers, because he obviously needed his soldiers at their 100% if he wanted to accomplish his goal to lead humanity to victory.

When she reached the infirmary, she was fast to check the room first with her chakra leaving a relief sigh when she realized it was empty besides the injured soldiers.

She walked in and let her gaze wander around the room. It was painfully obvious that this was an improvised infirmary, if the wooden stretcher and the lack medicines were anything to go by.

She grabbed a chair and used it to lock the door, since it would be inconvenient if someone walked in when she was treating someone and could accuse her of injuring the soldiers further. If someone tried to force the door, she'll would just jump out of the window.

She stood in the middle of the room and with a few hand seals three Sakura's popped into existence already knowing what to do, they all set to work.

Sakura frowned and drew a frustrated sigh. The woman in front of her was pale as a ghost and Sakura hoped she wasn't close to being one. Her lips were cracked and dry an obvious sight that she was dehydrated. She was only one of many patients in this condition, apparently their injuries were too advance to try anything, and they were most likely left here to die, hence the lack of medicines and personal tending to them. She needed to talk to the commander.

The kunoichi commanded one of her clones to get the woman some water as she scanned her injuries with her chakra. She had dislocated her shoulder and two broken ribs, but luckily none had pierced her lung, or else she wouldn't be here.

"I need painkillers" she muttered to herself.

She pulled out a scroll from her pouch opening it with one hand; she focused her chakra in her fingertips and immediately a little "poof" was heard. She grabbed her herbs and turned to one of the shelves she had seen earlier, Sakura was positive there was a mortar in one of the cabinets.

After a long session of healing Sakura was exhausted, but was proud to say everyone had been tended properly. Either way she'll return tomorrow to check on them.

She was about to head to her room when the loud rumbling of her stomach filled the silent hall. Grateful that no one had heard her she starter to walk towards the kitchen, hopefully she could find some bread or fruit. From her peripheral vision she saw a shadow hid behind a couple of boxes. Her kunoichi instinct kicked in and without much thought she threw a kunai at it.

A familiar yelp echoed in the room and Sakura felt her blood ran cold. "Please no, please no" she repeated in her head like a mantra as she ran to where she had seen the shadow.

She frantically moved the boxes and found Sasha lying in the floor, covering her head with her hands, unharmed much to Sakura relief. Once the brunette realized it was Sakura, she gave her a nervous grin and a little wave.

"Hey Sakura" She greeted her.

Sakura gave her a curious look "What are you doing here?" She asked as she helped her stand up, pocketing her kunai in the way.

"I-" She paused, looking to sides to make sure no one was spying "I was hungry"

Sakura sweatdropped "I'm not surprised"

Sasha stammered "It's not my fault!" she said looking to the side "Captain Levi made me clean the bathrooms because he said I was being too loud" she pouted.

"So, you missed dinner?" Sakura guessed to which Sasha nodded.

"Well" She said catching Sasha's attention "I also missed dinner. Let's go to the kitchen before someone wakes up"


"Hurry" she whispered to her companion.

Sasha lifted her gaze showing Sakura that she was still eating. Her hands were full with a load of bread and cheese, two apples and an orange. She was ready to go. Whilst Sasha was sitting on the concrete floor stuffing her mouth with food. Sakura had warned the brunette not to eat too much or else they'll be in trouble. But she had ended up being ignored.

"If we get caught, I'll blame you" she said biting her apple.

Sasha swallowed and turned to her "This was your idea" she grinned and stood up using one of her hands to remove the dust in her white pants.

Sakura paled "you wouldn't dare" she said nervously.

Sasha leaned in one of the kitchen counter and rested her hands in cheeks "No, I wouldn't" she smiled and stuck her tongue out "I just wanted to see your face"

She sighed and turned around, ready to leave the kitchen "Let's go"

Sasha nodded, wiping her hands in her pants and turned to door ready to open it, but Sakura hand stop her.

"I thought you wanted to leave" she whispered in confusion.

"Someone's coming" she whispered as she dragged the brunette behind a potato sack.

The kunoichi felt the girl tense in her grip when the door opened. Sakura peered from behind the sack, her eyes narrowing when she noticed that it wasn't one person, but two. If they started to look around, they'll definitely find them.

"I'm sure I heard voices" one of them said, lifting the lid of a water barrel.

"You must be tired" the second one said, suppressing a yawn "C'mon, I'm tired"

The first one looked over his shoulder "Leave if you want"

The other man sighed in frustration. "I'll help" he said as he started to open the cabinets.

Sakura waited until they had their back turned to them to grab Sasha and body flickering them out of the kitchen onto her room.

Sasha had her eyes closed but opened them when they landed in Sakura's bed. Her big brown eyes landed in the pinkette silently asking her for answers. Sakura played with her bed cover trying to form an answer. Her mind went blank for a couple of seconds until she decided to just say the true.

"Can you keep a secret?" she asked and waited for Sasha to nod before continuing "Is one of my techniques, its called sunshin or body flickering" she explained and waited for the girl reaction.

To her surprise, Sasha looked deep in thought, which make her even more nervous. This wasn't the reaction she was expecting. Sakura hoped Sasha laughed and brushed it off, apparently that wasn't going to happen.

Sasha's face was serious, her mouth set in a tight line. "I wouldn't tell anyone" she leaned closer and rested her hand in Sakura's shoulder. "Thank you for trusting in me"

Sakura nodded, relief evident in her features. "Thanks" she said quietly.

Sakura grunted as she woke up. Her whole body felt awfully heavy, and she deduced it was because of yesterday events, taking care of the injured had exhausted more than she had expected.

With a yawn she entered her bathroom and started her morning ritual. Once she was ready, she headed to the dining hall. On her way there she crossed paths with Krista and Ymir, the former greeting her with a little wave which she returned smiling.

She looked at Ymir "Good morning" she greeted the taller woman.

Ymir stared at her for few seconds before nodding her head in greeting.

Knowing that this was all she was going to get from her, Sakura continued her path.

(…...)

During breakfast Sakura had seen the commander across the room sharing the table with Captain Levi, along squad leader Mike and Hanji. They all looked tense and tired, the dark circles under their eyes were obvious even in the distance.

She waited until the commander rose from his seat and left the cafeteria to start rushing her own breakfast. She swallowed a spoonful of oatmeal and bit her bread harshly before offering what was left to Sasha and started to head towards the commander office.

Sakura fastened her pace when she saw him walking slowly reading some paperwork.

"Commander" She called once she was next to him.

He looked surprised to see her so early, so he just nodded his head and said "Haruno"

"We have to talk" she said in a serious tone.

"About what, exactly" He inserted his key in the lock "If I may ask" he said as he opened the door to his office and signaled her to enter first.

"The poor condition of the infirmary" She said taking her usual seat "Yesterday I took the liberty of tending your soldiers"

His eyes narrowed slightly "What is their condition?"

Sakura wanted to huff at his mistrusted tone, as if she would injure them further.

"They will live to see another sunrise"

"All of them?" he asked and Sakura took pride in his disbelieve tone.

The corner of her mouth lifted "Of course, I never leave an incomplete job"

He hummed and folded his hands in front of him, a thoughtful expression settled in his features making Sakura feel uneasy. They kept quiet for a few minutes, only the casual chirps of the birds and the voices of the cadets that were training broke the silent that reigned in the room.

It felt like an eternity before he cleared his throat. Sakura straightened in her seat and waited for him to speak. His icy blue eyes betrayed nothing.

"I need to see it myself" he simply said.

Her face fell and a frown appeared in her face. She suppresed the urge to express her discontent aloud, instead she rose from her seat to guide him to the infirmary. One of his eyebrows lifted in wonder, but he didn't voice his thoughts. He just stood up and followed her silently to the infirmary.

She stopped in front of the entrance. "See for yourself" She said as she pushed the door open.

He entered the room slowly, his gaze taking in every detail of the room and its occupants. Sakura remained by the door, her arm were crossed and her body was leaning leisurely in the frame. She must looked uncaring and almost bored in the outside, but in reality her emerald eyes were fixated in Erwin as he checked his soldiers. He would just stare at some of them whilst he would lean to other to see their wounds up close.

She tried to decipher his expression, but it was hard to do since he had his back turned at her.

"Amazing" He motioned to his soldiers "The head medic told me they were close to dying…" He stopped talking, not knowing what else to say. His mind was working hard to replace the images of his wounded soldiers by this new image. They were going to live.

She smiled taking pride on the fact that she had impressed the stoic man. This was her chance.

She inched closer and clearing her throat she said "Commander" She paused "I would like to be the new head medic" she demanded.

His eyes showed surprise, his eyebrows furrowed in deep thought as he propped his chin in his hand.

"You're in charge of the infirmary now." He walked past her giving her a side look that showed many emotions she couldn't name, the most obvious one was gratitude.

"Whatever you need, tell Hanji. She'll take you to town"

"I don't have money" she muttered sheepishly rubbing the back of her neck.

He pivoted and looked at her with an amused expression "Use the military fund" He simply said, leaving the infirmary and an excited Sakura behind.

She knew the survey corps fund was the shortest of all the military, so she'll only buy the necessary, like bandages, cotton, antiseptic and ointments; everything else like herbs could be easily found outside.

Sakura pumped her fist in the air. Shannaro, she had made it!
