Chapter 4

"Damn it Miki, you have to push!" Sakura yelled over the brunette's screams. The doctor snickered to herself about how worried Deidara has to be. He was probably fighting to get out of Kisame's vice like grip and into the birthing room.

She shook her head and went back to the woman on the hospital bed. Sakura had though she was stronger than this for the two and a half months she knew her. The pink haired Kunoichi was rather disappointed with her.

"You have two choices Miki. You can push hard and get the baby out the natural way. They second way is where I cut your womb open and take the baby out, and I'm pretty much out of painkillers. Now do you want to push or have me cut you open?"

"Fine, I'll push!" Miki screamed and scrunched up her pretty face. She grunted with the effort and then gave herself a short rest. Sakura informed her that she could see the crown of his head. Nearly half an hour later the bawling baby was wrapped in a blanket and placed in his mother's arms. "Oh, you're so beautiful!" She cooed and tickled his stomach.

"Miki-chan!" Deidara called through the door. "Are you alright?"

"Shut up. It was your entire fault." Miki yelled back.

"Should I let him in?" Sakura asked while cleaning her instrument.

"Nah let him suffer for a few minuets." She whispered. Sakura just threw her head back and laughed. "Hey, he earned it." She sighed and began to coo at the baby.

There was a knock at the door, but Sakura didn't get it. After a few moments there was another knock, but she still didn't get it. Finally the door slammed open from force. Deidara stood there looking guilty, mad, and happy all at the same time. Behind him stood Itachi and Kisame, but the last stayed in the waiting room.

"Can I help you?" She asked the leader. Deidara had already run to his wife's side and she was playing a version of keep away that employed the baby.

"How was the birth?" He asked.

"A little hard at the beginning, but it got better." She answered and began to wash down the surfaces with a wet rag. When she finished she moved a strand of her long pink hair out of her face. "She'll be fine."

"Good." Itachi mumbled and went out of the room. Sakura sighed and went back to her washing. It was amazing how much Sasuke and Itachi were alike. They both seemed nice at one moment, then colder than ice the next. They also didn't talk unless it was for some reason.

After two months of diligently working as the doctor Sakura felt like she was fitting in. She made friends with the servants and slaves of the house by healing their minor wounds, but she also pleased the actually Akatsuki members by healing their possibly deadly cuts and other injuries. When she wasn't playing 'doctor' she was working out in the gym in the basement. Sometimes other members would be there, usually Deidara or Tobi since the blond wanted to be around for his wife's birth. She could beat Tobi just fine, but Deidara would knock her over and have a kunai to her throat before she could blink.

Exhausted, since it was 3 in the morning, Sakura kicked Deidara out, put Miki in a wheelchair and pushed her out. She took the baby and started to make her was to her room. She had put an incubator in the room next to hers so she could keep an eye on the babe.

While carrying him, she started to inspect his body. When she reached his hands she inspected them carefully. There was a small pair of lips on both. "So you did inherit your daddy's blood line limit." She cooed and tickled his hands. He just stared up at her with big blue eyes. He didn't have any hair, but Sakura was willing to bet her left pinky toe that it would turn out brown like his mother's.

She opened her door and made her way through the dark interior of her quarters. When she reached the temporary baby room she placed him inside the incubator then fell onto her bad. She was dead tired and needed sleep.

"Itachi…" She murmured as he pressed her up against the wall. She had wrapped her legs around his waist and he was biting and sucking at her neck. Her back arched in lustful bliss then-

"Holy shit." Sakura gasped while sitting up in her bed. She placed her head between her hands and began shaking back and forth. "No, no, no, no, no. Bad thought."

'I thought that dream was sort of nice.'Cheered inner Sakura. Sakura scowled.

"No." She said firmly.

"No what?" Somebody asked. Sakura nearly screamed.

"Itachi-san, how the hell did you get in here?"

"Master key." He grunted. "There's something wrong with Miki by the way."

"Shit!" She swore and jumped out of the bed. Sakura grabbed her emergency medical bag and ran through the halls with chakra added to her legs. When she reached Miki and Deidara's quarters she could hear the woman's painful howling through the door which she slammed open.

Deidara looked up with worried eyes. "She started bleeding, but nothing could stop it."

"Move!" Sakura ordered and spread Miki's legs. "It looks like something went wrong. I'm going to give her an infusion of my own chakra which will slow down the bleeding. After that I'll be pretty much out of chakra so you'll have to finish the bandaging, alright?" Deidara mutely nodded.

Without warning Sakura slammed her hand on Miki's womb. The woman cried out in pain and Sakura sent powerful currents of chakra through her. When she finished she barely had enough energy to pull away. She stood, but then the world began to get a bit dizzy. Deidara was too busy bandaging his wife to notice the almost ready to faint doctor. Sakura felt herself falling, but she was caught by a pair of strong arms.

She felt herself being picked up, and then walked over to the couch. She was carefully laid down and Sakura opened her eyes to see Itachi standing over her. "Why?" She croaked.

Itachi shook his head. "Don't talk. Rest. You'll need the energy later." Sakura nodded meekly and looked into his blood red eyes. She closed her eyes and let a light sleep drift over her. She was awoken by bright noon sunshine filtering in through the windows. She groaned and sat up before realizing she wasn't in her own bed. Somebody was in the room with her and she saw Miki reading in her usual chair.

"How are you doing?" She croaked.

"I should be asking you that, not the other way around." The older woman scolded. "You nearly killed yourself by healing me. Thank you."

"It was nothing." Sakura said and tried to sit up. Her muscles groaned in agony, but she made it to her legs and slowly tried to walk across the room. When she nearly collapsed she felt a strong pair of arms steady her. She looked to where Miki was a moment ago to find she wasn't there. "I didn't know you were a Kunoichi."

"Medic nin actually. Not of your ranking, but one none the less." She helped Sakura back to the couch. "Actually I was wondering if I could work as a nurse. Even with the baby it gets boring around here." She looked over at the crib sitting against the wall. "Yusuke has been fine. Nothing appears to be wrong with him."

"Good." Sakura smiled and sipped from a cup on the stand beside her. Cool water slipped through her lips and refreshed her parched throat. She felt her strength coming back, but waited another half an hour before standing. The pink haired doctor was steady and walking by the time she got out of the room.

The first place she went was the medical center. There was only a small child with a splinter which she quietly removed. He gave her a cute smile before running away. She sighed and headed for her office in the back. The spacious room had a beautiful view of the gardens in the back. She headed towards a filing cabinet and started organizing. She loved this place that she almost wished she could stay, but it was Akatsuki headquarters of all places.

She closed the cabinet and slumped into her chair. She was suddenly getting a torrent of memories coming to her from her times as a genin with team 7 to the day she was kidnapped. Sakura felt like a traitor because she wanted to stay. Naruto was probably ripping his hair out trying to find her. She almost laughed aloud at the picture of a bald Naruto. Not even Hinata would recognize him.

"What's so funny?" A cool voice questioned from the doorway. Sakura looked up to find Itachi standing just inside her office.

"Can I help you?" She asked the leader of the Akatsuki.

"Yes." He stated. "My eyes have been giving me problems for the past few days."

"Sit down. I'll be a moment." She responded and went back to the cabinet behind her. The Kunoichi quickly flipped through the last drawer until she found 'Uchiha, Itachi' and pulled it out. She had never read about what the doctor before her did to his eyes.

She scanned the document and noted how many things could have gone wrong. The amount of chakra used was at an alarmingly high level and could possibly kill somebody under Sakura's level. There also seemed to be a miscalculation on his eye's width.

"There were a few problems with your operation last time." Sakura told him while making notes with a pen. "I can correct those but you have to refrain from using your Sharingan for 48 hours. Will that be a problem?"

"No."

"Good. I can start now then." She placed her hands on either side of his head and gently allowed her chakra to flow into his eyes. When she pulled away he blinked. His eyes had gone back to normal. "All done. Remember 48 hours." She reminded him. He nodded and disappeared with a turn of his heel. Sakura blushed remembering that she had touched his face, although she didn't know why she was even attracted him.

'Damn Uchihas.'Inner Sakura mumbled.

"You've got that right." Sakura answered.
