Okay my wonderful readers: this is just a note to let you know that I've revised everything up to and including this chapter, but still have a way to go. Thanks so much for sticking with me! I'd love to hear what you think of the story thus far.
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing from the Naruto universe but I do have an imagination of my own.

Sakura ran, leading Kakashi to the elevator. Putting a key into the lock beside it, she asked what had happened. Hearing his rather lengthy and nearly too-fast explanation, she sighed while beginning to heal Naru. Damnit Sensei! Naru in this state?! Plus now it sounds like I'll have even more patients?!
Little did she know that this was just the beginning of her worries.
Sakura was working desperately on her former teammate, the Hokage hovering over her and Naru. Her condition was serious but not normally considered critical. She was scared, though. Naru was unconscious and had already had such a dangerous medical journey in the last months. Who knew if she would react normally - medically or in any other way - to what had happened to her tonight? Sakura was not going to lose another person, especially Naru, whom she had somehow gotten even closer to than she was to Naruto. Maybe it was the fact that Naru was now like a goofy little sister to her, plus the fact that Ino was gone? Whatever caused the overprotective instinct in her, she would abide by it.
She pushed as much chakra into the blonde as she could, knowing that she might have other patients tonight. Thanks to sensei and Shikamaru, she thought sourly. Kami knows those two are going to be butting heads over this and just Naru-chan in general. Finally, she was satisfied, knowing that Naru was at least stable. She'd come back and work on her more later in the evening. Kakashi began asking her a barrage of questions and she glared at him. Sitting down tiredly and closing her eyes, her sensei finally relented - no doubt realizing that she was exhausted and pregnant.
A nurse burst into the room, "Sakura-sama! Lord Nara is in the next room with substantial injuries!" Sakura groaned and tried to speed out of the room, but was quickly grabbed by the arm by the Hokage.
"He's to be placed in The Hole," Kakashi stated firmly. "Don't heal that bastard. Not after what he's done tonight."
Sakura was outraged - and pissed! "You can't order that, sensei. I am the director of medicine in this village and my word is law when it comes to any of this, even above your orders," she harshly said. Ignoring her sensei's growl - honestly, she thought he was spending way too much time with his ninken - she stopped him from speaking. "Taking this career path - one that you supported - I also have to abide by the code of medical ethics no matter what."
"So you're just going to leave her here unattended? I never thought you would do that, Sakura." Kakashi said, a frown on his face.
Oh, I should smack you for that, sensei! "No. She's stable. I'll be back. Stay with her." Sakura then turned and ran out of the room. Kakashi covered his masked mouth with both hands, taking a deep breath. He should NOT have said that. He didn't even mean to say it - it just came out. He was just so freaking worried!
I'll apologize later...
Sakura ran into the next room and was appalled by what she found. Her friend Shikamaru was unconscious and had obvious broken bones in his face. He was swelling and Sakura began a diagnostic. Orbital fracture, broken jaw… She got straight to work. After healing his bones, she was alarmed that he wasn't waking up. "Come on, Shikamaru!" It was as she bent forward to look for other injuries that she caught more than a whiff of his scent. Sakura reeled back. "Really?! You Baka: this was NOT the time to get wasted!" Sakura ordered a blood test and began another diagnostic check and found that he also had a couple of broken ribs. "What the hell happened to you?!"
A nurse ran into the room. "Sakura-sama! Hyuuga-dono is down the hall with what appear to be animal bites..!" Sakura groaned.
"Take over healing his broken ribs and do a full-body diagnostic," Sakura ordered hotly. "Report back to me when his bloodwork comes back!"
Quickly she headed to the Hyuuga Clan head's room. Nurses were already healing the open wounds from what did look like animal bites - ninken bites, she noted. Sakura really wanted to bitch-slap her sensei now! "Hyuuga-dono, can you tell me what happened?"
There was a look of anger on Hiashi's face, but he didn't say a word. His facial expressions were normally so set in stone, she wasn't sure if he was only angry, or maybe frustrated… Perhaps he was trying to look tough instead of showing the pain that he was surely in? "Please, Hyuuga-dono!" Getting no answer she decided to eventually rotate back to Naru, her first patient of the night.
Checking to ensure that Naru was still stable, she sighed in relief. Sakura went back and forth between her two unconscious patients, plus her silent, stoic one, for hours. She was more exhausted than she could remember, and sat down in Naru's room for a moment, watching Kaka-sensei being silent and brushing Naru's hair away from her face with his ungloved hands. Her eyes closed and she began to sleep.
She awakened to that woman's voice again. "Sakura-sama! Lord Rock is injured and was just brought in..."
"LEE?!" Sakura yelled. "Where is he? What happened?!" Kakashi certainly looked concerned but didn't move from Naru's side.
"Make a clone or have one of the other's report to me on Lee's condition, Sakura," he hollered as she went running and found her husband in the last room down the hallway.
Seeing him, she let out a gasp of relief. Lee was lying on his stomach and looked at her as if embarrassed. "Lee-kun! What happened?!" Sakura asked, afraid.
Lee let out a chuckle that she knew was incredibly fake and marched over to sit eye-to-eye with her husband. She gave him a frightening glare because he had yet to say anything.
"Buttercup…"
"Don't 'Buttercup' me, Lee-kun! Did Kaka-sensei get you, too?!" If he did the Hokage's going to be the next one to find himself unconscious!
Lee didn't know what she was talking about. He just wanted to get his rear end healed! "No, my beautiful flower, I did not see Hokage-sama tonight…"
"Lucky you," she said snarkily, Lee tilted his head, not understanding as Sakura began running a diagnostic on her husband. "Why are you on your stomach, Lee?" He again gave her the fake chuckle and she wanted to scream until she found that her sweety had a hairline fracture in his tailbone. Sakura grimaced and began healing him. "Oh, Lee! Tell me what happened!"
Trying first to distract her attention to other things, Lee realized he was in trouble. Sakura would be angry about what had happened - probably at herself. No way was he going to tell her that she had pushed him down to the ground with her terrifying and wonderful strength, literally breaking part of his body! On the one hand, she'd be horrified at what she'd done if he told her the truth, and on the other, she'd probably freak out if she learned that he'd been laying on the sidewalk alone for hours.
Such a complicated, youthful woman.
Questioning him repeatedly, Sakura finally decided that getting a valid answer from him was useless for now. She was both flummoxed and angry that Lee wouldn't tell her what had happened. After healing him as best she could, because she only had so much chakra left and needed to be safe because of her pregnancy, she gave him a quick kiss and headed back to check on her unconscious patients.
First, she ordered that Shikamaru was to receive an IV for hydration. His blood alcohol content was high but not dangerously high for a shinobi. Still, he was healing from his various injuries and passed out so she ordered drugs to dilute the toxin. She also ordered that once his bloodwork came back with no abnormalities that he was to be given pain medicine if needed. Finally, she had a subordinate give him additional chakra.
Re-entering Naru's room Sakura heard the other woman groan. Naru reached up slowly, eyes still closed, and grabbed her head. Naru's head and neck had sustained the most damage from her attack, although she had bruises and abrasions all over her torso. She had been wrapped in bandages in order to help her heal and make sure that she didn't move too much. Slowly she opened her eyes, wincing in pain.
"There, there, girl - you'll be all right now!" Sakura said in a calming voice. "I've already put pain medicine into your IV. Kakashi-sensei and I are here for you, and we won't let that happen again. Naru nodded her head once and winced. Kakashi looked at Sakura with a helpless expression. Sakura made notes on her clipboard while giving the others privacy. She could hear her sensei's deep voice whispering lovingly to her teammate. She couldn't help but smile.
Minutes went by and Naru seemed to still be in terrible pain. There was no doubt that she was, considering she had been attacked by at least 64 gentle-palm strikes. "Gentle," yeah right, the med-nin thought. She'd had many of her tenketsu points closed, which were then opened by force by Sakura's chakra. The pinkette grimaced and decided to add to the pain medicine in the IV bag.
It wasn't long before Naru's eyes fully opened. "Oiiii," she vocalized drowsily.
"Hello, beautiful: are you all right?" Kakashi asked, helping her drink a little ice water with a straw.
"Mmmmm, pretty," she responded lazily. Kakashi looked to Sakura in confusion, and Sakura smacked herself in the forehead.
"I may have given her too much pain medicine," Sakura sighed. "I knew it was early for it, but she's got Uzumaki genes and from my research and dealing with her previously, I knew she would need more of any kind of medication compared to a normal person."
"Prrretty hair," Naru said, looking like a drunk as she reached up and patted Kakashi's hair awkwardly. Sakura could see the blush above his mask and laughed quietly at the couple.
"So what else do you like about sensei, Naru?" Sakura crooned, ignoring Kakashi's nearly adorable puppy-type glare. Finally, I can tease HIM!
"Pretty... face!" Naru exclaimed, further embarrassing Kakashi. Sakura encouraged her to go on, much to the man's chagrin.
"Umm, NICE ASS!" Naru responded loudly with a giant, goofy grin. Sakura cracked up, laughing out loud, but nearly choked on her spit at Naru's next comment.
Slowly the blonde looked at Kakashi in concentration, frowning. Then her eyes lit up - although they were still a bit unfocused - and she said, "Got a big dick!"
Kakashi blushed a bold red, all the way past his unmasked ear. What could he say? And how could he explain this?! Especially to Sakura! Please, Kami: let that be the end of it! Sakura will smack me down if I comment in any way. Plus how would Naru even… Oh, the "knotted sausage..." Here I was, thinking she was too innocent to understand what was going on.
Sakura was frozen. Getting her wits about her again, she could only reply, "Oh, is that so? Uhhhh, good for you!" She backed away towards the door. She and her sensei could not even glance towards one another. She finally let out a snort and asked the Hokage to keep her posted if there was any change. Pushing the door open, she left. Kakashi heard loud cackling come from the hallway.
Kill me now… Kakashi took a deep cleansing breath and paused. Sakura's a professional: she won't go spreading this around, he tried to reason. Looking up at the love of his life, he saw her again grinning at him. He pulled down his mask and took off his headband. Finally, he let out a chuckle, trying to forget about or play off what had happened for the moment.
"You look like shit," Naru drawled.
"Mou, Naru's so mean," Kakashi stated, resting his hands and head on the bed's guardrail that was next to his chair. "I thought you said I was pretty?"
"You are! But you still look like crap!" The drug obviously still heavily influencing her, Naru patted the bed. "Come on in, dammit," the blonde ordered. With a soft groan, she moved to the side of her bed, giving him access.
Should I do it? Kami-sama: he'd been waiting to hold her in his arms in bed for so long! I respect her; nothing will happen... She's drugged and oblivious right now. He also reminded himself - as if he had to - that he was exhausted, having been up for days. Naru pointed her finger at Kakashi and ordered him to get into her hospital bed. What could he do? An order was an order, after all. He immediately closed the distance between them and carefully placed his arm around her bandaged neck as he fluffed up the pillow for her, then used his other arm to reach behind him to raise the guardrail again.
Lying beside the pretty man, Naru was frustrated. Something was binding her chest and stomach and it was damn uncomfortable. Finally, she asked the pretty man for help: she only wanted scissors or something to cut with! He asked for an explanation but she only growled at him. She really didn't feel like talking. Even when she did her voice gave her a headache.
Kakashi didn't know what she planned to do, but she was nearly helpless and he knew he was faster than her. Carefully he sat up, getting a kunai from his weapons holster, and grudgingly gave it to her. She'd used his kunai before, he reasoned. He watched her every movement, ready to stop anything bad from happening. Naru drunkenly tore open her buttoned-up hospital top, and quickly cut away the bandages binding her torso. "Ohhhhhhh, yes!" Naru breathed, stretching her arms behind her, exposing… well, everything.
Kakashi was wide-eyed at the sight of her creamy tanned breasts. Bigger and better than… Oh, Kami! He licked his lips, drinking in the sight before him like a man that hadn't drunk in days.
He took a deep breath. Even though he was still staring, he knew himself well. Many knew the man well enough to have no doubts about some things:
-Kakashi was a good man
-Kakashi may be a pervert, but he knew right from wrong
-Kakashi knew that the woman sitting next to him was drugged out
-Kakashi didn't want to take advantage of her immediate actions and drug-induced haze
-But damn, Kakashi Hatake wasn't a saint
He grabbed her shoulder and pulled her body into his chest, kissing her deeply and trying to stay above her bruised body. Hearing her moan, he quickly forced his way up and away from her, pulling off his thin black shirt, and hovered over her again, trying to keep it together. He knew he was failing in doing so quite spectacularly. Especially when the woman reached down and grabbed his long, hard, and unfortunately still-clothed length.
Their kisses became hungrier, with moans and groans coming from them both.
Naru wrapped her legs around the outside of his knees, pulling him to her core. "Not getting away tonight," she whispered huskily.
At this point, the silver-haired man was repeatedly grinding into her. When he felt her put her hand down his pants and used her palm to repeatedly circle the tip of his member, he lost all reasonable thought. She was swirling her palm over his wet tip, over and over before beginning to pump him. He growled and took in one of her breasts, his hand gliding over the other.
"Yessssss," the blonde moaned quietly, arching her back into him, seeking further contact. Kakashi looked up to see her beautiful blue eyes looking down at him with obvious lust - and was that tenderness or even love? Naru brought her legs up, wrapping his waist tightly against her. She eventually used her toes to pull his pants down below his ass, her hand never stopping its motions. Her other hand made its way from his grasping his shoulder tightly down to that bare ass. She squeezed.
He was on top of her now fully, having forgotten all about her healing body. Her one hand stiffened around him - as far as her hand could get around his girth - as he humped her like an out-of-control teenager. Kakashi devoured her like an animal, going back and forth from one breast to the other, only to return to her mouth, over and over again. Desperate with passion, neither he nor she heard the door open.
SENSEI… Sakura's thoughts were dark and damned if she didn't feel "Inner Sakura's" rage pulse through her. Sakura stood in the doorway, completely unaware that she was staring. She was no pervert, she told herself often, but this? This?!This made her angry!
She was her teammate! She was her friend! But more than anything right now, she was her patient! Sakura tried to breathe.
Perverted Baka-sensei knows she's healing! Unconsciously she did the one thing that she hadn't done in years.
*SMACK!*
"Ouch!" Kakashi grabbed his probably cracked head with both hands. Sakura's clipboards of doom! He tried to pull up his pants quickly with one hand, pulling up his mask with the other. He was flipped onto his back and all hell broke loose.
Wind was flying wildly around the room. Machinery like the oxygen monitor and IV stand had crashed to the floor. The metal bar on his side of the bed had a cut all the way through it, and outside of it was his Naru, in Naruto's beginning taijutsu form. Sakura was standing in shock, hands holding the two pieces of her cracked clipboard in front of her baby bump. She must have been using chakra to hold herself in place, Kakashi surmised because the wind in the room was nearly howling.
"You will not hurt him," Naru said in a deadly but quiet voice.
Kakashi climbed over the broken guard rail and put a hand on her shoulder. He moved in front of her and gasped. Never had Naruto or Naru ever looked so quite like Minato-sensei in battle until now. The ferocity of her glare at his pink-haired student was cold and murderous, although he sensed no actual killing intent. "Yo, Naru-hime. I'm all right," Kakashi said, cupping her cheek.
She looked at him with those fierce blue eyes and the windstorm ended. She gave a quick nod and muttered only one word before she collapsed: "Sorry."
