I'm really sorry to Sasuke fans for how he's acting but it was necessary for this story!

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Sakura's grip on her clipboard tightened as Sasuke sauntered over to her. Just seeing his face was enough to make the pinkettes good mood fade. How did he always manage to find out the days that she was especially happy and then ruin it? As she mused on this, a cool hand was cupping her cheek. Sakura's eyes widened with shock as she quickly jerked back. Looking straight into his onyx eyes she could see some surprise at her actions.

"We need to talk." Was all he said as he dropped his arm back to his side.

The doctor shook her head. "There is nothing left to say to each other."

"I have questions that you have to answer!" Sasuke hissed, his expression gave away how irritated he actually was.

Sakura resisted the urge to slap him but found herself saying. "I'm not your obedient bitch anymore Sasuke which means I have zero obligation to answer any questions you ask me. Now please leave, I'm working so I don't have time to deal with you."

As she walked past him, the raven grabbed a hold of her wrist and squeezed. It wasn't painful enough to hurt her badly but it was enough to keep her from moving. Somewhere deep in her heart, something resounded. Fear but there was also resentment. She resented the part of her that was once attracted to Sasuke and still wanted to be acknowledged by him. After all he'd done to hurt her in the past she couldn't stand to be near him but despite what she said earlier she did have a whole boatload of things to say to him. This just wasn't the time or place to do so.

"Let go or I'll scream." His hand was gone almost immediately. "Now leave before I do call security on you."

The raven hesitated for a moment but eventually walked back to the doors and without another glance in her direction, he was gone. Somehow it felt a little easier to breath in the hospital once the Uchiha had vanished from sight. Sakura leaned back against the wall, trying to regain her bearings before returning to her work. But even after standing there for five minutes she couldn't find it in herself to relax at all. What was Sasuke here for? What questions did he want to ask her? Why after so long did he suddenly reappear on her radar? All these questions swam in her mind as she walked to her next patient's room.

"Good morning Mina-chan!" Sakura greeted as she opened the door.

The brunette laying on the bed seemed to perk up when she saw Sakura. "Good morning Dr. Sakura-chan!"

"How are you feeling today?" The pinkette asked as she started her examination.

Mina smiled and answered. "I'm feeling a lot better now!"

"That's great! You might even be able to go home soon!" She chirped, administering the medicine into the IV again. "Just make sure that you get plenty of rest and eat all your food."

The girl smiled widely. "I will! Thanks Dr. Sakura-chan!"

After finishing her visit with Mina, Sakura returned to the first floor to clock out for her lunch break. Imagine her surprise when she was met with Obito Uchiha the moment she stepped out of the hospital. His smile was a little sheepish as he opened the door to his car and motioned for her to get in. Not seeing the harm, the pinkette hopped right in and waited for him to start it. As the two were driving, Sakura observed him through the corners of hers. All Uchiha members were handsome but she knew how self conscious Obito was about his scars.

There had been a tragic accident at Obito's summer job when he was in high school. A fryer exploded and caused part of the building to cave in. Fortunately there were only two injuries. One was Kakashi Hatake, Obito's best friend, who had fallen and landed face first onto a slab of sharp debris which caused him to go blind in one eye while also giving him a nasty scar. The other was Obito who pushed his female co worker, Rin, out of the way and ended up getting crushed underneath the caved in portion of the building. It had been all over the news for days while everyone waited for updates on their conditions. In the end, Kakashi lost his eye and Obito was now covered in scars. Just remembering the accident was enough to make the Uchiha uncomfortable so she wisely never brought it up. Sasuke was another story.

When they were going out, Sasuke had introduced Sakura to a whole bunch of cousins at a family reunion. That was how she met Obito and Madara both. At first she had been curious about the scars that covered the former but she knew it would be rude to bring it up. Ultimately, it had been Itachi who had told her the story. But Sasuke had to make it ten times worse by saying that Obito was defective and that was why he would only ever be Madara's assistant. She'd never wanted to slap him more than she had in that moment.

"I hope you don't think it's weird that I'm taking you to lunch." Obito stated, breaking the rather uncomfortable silence. "There was a few things I wanted to talk to you about so I thought it would be best to do it when we both were on break."

Sakura gave him a bright smile. "I don't mind. I'm actually glad that I'm not going to be spending my lunch in that stuffy break room."

"Great! Ah, we're here." He said as he turned into a parking spot in front of a slightly packed barbeque place called Akimichi's.

As the two were seated and served, Obito smiled and asked. "Did you get the flowers?"

"I did! They were so pretty and it really made my morning better." Sakura answered excitedly. "Did you order them for Madara so he could send them?"

The Uchiha shook his head. "No Madara was the one who went to the florist and had everything set up. I just made sure they arrived on time."

"Why has he taken such a special interest in me?" She asked as she stared down into her water. "I'm nothing special but despite that he's done so much to cheer me up."

Obito hummed in thought. "Madara doesn't tell me these kinds of things so I'm not sure what his motives are but I do know that he wants to see you smile."

Sakura felt her face heat up when the words left his mouth. Her smile? Madara wanted to see her smile? Somehow the thought embarrassed her more than she thought it would. Naruto had said countless times that he just wanted to see her smile but it never made her as happy as it did right now. Could she have developed a crush on her ex-boyfriend's cousin? It didn't seem possible!

"Sasuke came to my work today." Sakura burst out, hoping to get off the topic of her and Madara. "He said that he wanted to ask me questions but I forced him to leave before he could."

The man sitting across from her didn't look the least bit surprised. "Sasuke showed up in Madara's office this morning demanding to know why you were living next door to Madara now. Of course he didn't answer him and he called security but I figured he might try you next."

"I'm not to keen on talking to Sasuke after everything he put me and Naruto through." Sakura stated as she took a bite of her meat. "Sometimes he really scares me."

The Uchiha frowned and asked. "Naruto? As in his former best friend Naruto? What happened between them exactly?"

"Naruto and I were friends long before Sasuke showed up in our lives so I already had a feeling but when we became a group I noticed that he'd sometimes stare a little too long at Sasuke." Sakura started, clenching her fists as the memories came back. "Naruto came out as gay to the both of us after Sasuke and I started going out. Like I said, I had a feeling so I was fully supportive of him. Sasuke, however, was not. He started acting all disgusted when Naruto even so much as talked to him. Eventually, he asked him to come stay over for the night to play video games and work on a project but Sasuke refused. He told him that he would never be alone in a room with him because he didn't know what Naruto was gonna try to do to him behind closed doors." The pinkette felt all the anger coming back. "He even had the gall to lie and say that Naruto put the moves on him when I confronted him. I knew that Naruto wasn't that type of guy so it led to a huge argument. We didn't break up but we saw less of each other because of it."

There was slight surprise showing on Obito's face. "Isn't Naruto married?"

"Yeah, he is. Nearly five years he's been married to Neji and they are as happy as they are when they first started dating." Sakura answered longingly. "I wish I had someone that important in my life."

The Uchiha leveled a serious look at the doctor. "Why did you and Sasuke break up?"

"It was an accumulation of things but the main reason was because he was always angry about something." She answered, twirling a strand of hair between her fingers. "I was born with a weak heart so I was often hospitalized in high school. Most of those days were the ones were Sasuke would demand my presence for a last minute date that I didn't know anything about. He never visited but complained endlessly that I was always missing our plans. In the end I broke up with him in a fit of rage."

Obito growled with annoyance. "Sasuke doesn't understand that the world doesn't revolve around him."

"True. Can I ask a question?" At the nod she continued. "How did Sasuke know that I had moved into the apartment next to Madara's?"

"Madara keeps a detailed record of his tenants in case of emergency's. Only the regional managers of the company have access to the information and Fugaku is one of them so I guess Sasuke must have seen it on his computer." Was the only answer. "Entitled brat thinks nothing is off limits."

Sakura couldn't agree more. It was another point in her relationship with Sasuke that she didn't like to think about. He'd taken her phone and gone through it several times but when she wanted to see his she was the one out of line. Sometimes she was amazed by her own stupidity when she decided that he would make a great boyfriend and stayed despite the emotional abuse. The rest of lunch was spent making idle chit chat before Obito had once again dropped her off at the hospital entrance. Clocking back in, she caught sight of her bouquet of flowers in the nice little vase. It improved her mood enough that she could completely forget about Sasuke's visit that morning. Nodding to herself, she got back to work.
