Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Merc and the Medic. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto and a few others do.

(Otagakure.)

Marmora sat on the couch with a book. He hummed while he slowly turned the page. He brushed off his shoulder while Sakura sat down next to him before Sasuke walked into the room.

He looked over the duo while Marmora tucked his legs under him. He set down his book next to him and looked up at the Uchiha clan leader.

"You good?" He asked before he closed the book, Sasuke said nothing for a moment.

"Tomorrow is supposed to be the day." Karin said, Marmora looked up from his book at her.

"I'm glad. I've spent the entire week wondering about what the hell would happen with Shin." He stated, he crossed his arms and rubbed at the bridge of his nose.

"I wonder what Shin is up to. He's one of the strongest… No, he was the strongest warrior I've fought as an enemy. I'm sure the next time we fight he'll be a lot stronger and more skilled next time." Marmora said, Sakura hummed and looked at her roommate.

"You're not fighting him alone, you idiot! You nearly died once fighting him and I'm not going to heal you every single time you get knocked around… Then again…" She said before she leaned on Marmora with amusement before he sighed, he cracked his back.

"You can't heal stupid." She stated, Marmora hummed and then looked at Karin.

"You know, I'm no doctor. I wish to ask why you're not going to a hospital if you're supposed to be expecting today." He said, Sasuke started to nudge Karin towards the door.

"We're meet you at the hospital." He heard from Karin, he brushed off his jacket.

"I think you might want to go on without me for now." Marmora stated, Sakura blinked as she watched Marmora walk to the door.

"I'm going to make sure we have everything packed and ready to go when we are done. I want to tell the Hokage everything, he'd want to hear it from me and you since we fought him. I don't want him to be able to cook up some master plan where he slaughters an entire village and summons something that demolishes half of Fire Country." He said, Sakura rolled her eyes.

"I doubt he's that dangerous, but I get it. I'll meet you at the hospital." Sakura said, she picked up her shoes and put them on before she walked towards the door.

Marmora watched her walk out the door before he went to go and pack up their things, he wanted to get moving as soon as they were done.

He still wanted to know what Shin was doing at the second, he knew the wannabe Uchiha was a danger to all of Fire Country at the moment because of his intelligence and Sharingan eyes.

He still guessed if Sakura was true, Shin could very well be a very small fish in a bigger pond. He shuddered to think who would be stronger and in charge of Shin if the man was strong enough to put him into a coma.

He opened the door and then went to start packing. He wished he knew how a seal worked; he had never learned how to do more then a storage seal.

(With Sakura)

Sakura entered the hospital. She was surprised to see that Orochimaru was willing to have a hospital. She remembered when the man was a mad scientist who used to rip people apart to experiment on them. She shuddered at that; she went to sign in at the desk before Sasuke walked up to her.

"I already signed you in." Sasuke said, Sakura nodded, Sasuke clenched his fist under his cloak.

"You hate me for what I did during the war, don't you?" Sasuke asked, Sakura blinked.

"Why would I hate you? I…" She started to say before the Uchiha cut her off.

"I betrayed the village, allied with its worst enemy, joined the Akatsuki, tried to steal the tailed beasts, I tried to kill you over and over, I hurt you badly… And I also tried to kill Naruto and destroy Konoha." He said, Sakura went to look at the receptionist but the woman was gone.

Sakura turned to Sasuke and crossed her arms.

"I don't love you anymore, but I don't hate you. I had a crush and tried to keep convincing myself you owned my heart. You're my teammate. I hate what you did, but I can't change that, Sasuke, I don't have the ability and even if I did, I don't have the resolve to carry out what I should have done." Sakura said, she heard shouting.

"WE NEED HER THERE NOW, DAMN IT!" She heard right as the doors opened and Marmora walked into the hospital.

Sakura turned to Marmora and crossed her arms while he blinked and then nodded.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that Kara isn't the main villain but Momoshiki and the Otsutsuki clan will play a major role in the story as villains and Kara will be secondary villains. Next chapter will be on next Friday or so and will show the birth of Karin's child and the birth of a familiar character. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
