So here you go guys the thing you've been waiting for. By the way sorry this took slightly longer to put out i had gotten the flu and couldn't work on this chapter but i hope you like it.
Sasuke's head felt like it would explode and his eye throbbed with an intense and unbearable pain. Deciding to open his eyes he was at first blinded by the change in light, but when his eyes adjusted he quickly realized that he wasn't in his office. He seemed to be in the hospital judging by the heart monitor beating next to him. Groaning, Sasuke moved to get up from his spot on the bed. Quickly the door to his room swung open and a man Sasuke didn't recognize peaked his head in.
"Uchiha san, it is a relief to see you up. I will send for a nurse to look you over."
"Who are you?" Sasuke barked as he glared at the rather tall man. His left eye, nose and mouth were covered leaving his right eyes visible. He also had silver hair that seem to stand on it's own.
"My name is Kakashi " he said straightening his posture more, " and your older brother Itachi Uchiha-sama, sent us to guard the door while he was away. "
"Us?" Sasuke grimaced.
"Yes, us, there is another guard station outside to keep vigilance, his name is Yamato. We are under strict orders not to allow anyone who isnt hospital personnel into your room."
"No need for that, I will be leaving after I am dressed." Sasuke said as he started to slide off the bed.
"I'm afraid I can not let you do that Uchiha-sama. Your brother has ordered us not to let you leave the room until the doctor in charge has personally discharged you himself."
"And what if I give you orders to release me at once?" Sasuke growled as he said that.
This for some reason amused the guard as he gave a slight chuckle before saying, "Unfortunately, Uchiha-san your brother ranks over you and therefore, making any of your demands futile. Now, my partner has already sent for a nurse and they should arriving shortly. Please wait here patiently until they arrive." Kakashi said before giving a slight bow and then closing the door.
Sasuke had hope that the nurse would discharge him, but when she did come after what felt like forever Sasuke was annoyed to be informed that she didn't have the authorization to discharge him. After checking his eyes and drawing some blood the nurse left to go get the doctor.
Sasuke groaned again as he fell back onto the hospital bed. All he wanted to do was get back to work, but leave it to Itachi to take control of everything and go to the extreme to do it. It was after she had left them when this behavior got to the point where Itachi did something so terrible that Sasuke couldn't take it anymore and tried to disappear.
"Who's there?" Sasuke yelled when he heard someone enter the room.
"Hello sir, my name is and I'll be your doctor today." As she spoke, a familiar heat started to grow inside him. This voice, it was gentle and reminded him of her, but he knew it couldn't be her. She was probably off married to some prick with cash, and that thought even though he knew that it was what he wanted, pissed him off. Shaking his head Sasuke needed to focus on the main objective.
"I don't care who you are." he snapped, "All I need from you are the discharge papers and to tell those guards outside to allow me to leave."
"I'm sorry sir, but I can't let you leave until I can make sure you are not in any danger."
"Don't enter," he snapped when he notice her reaching for the curtain. He heard her release a sigh of frustration, he didn't care though, all he needed for her was to sign those discharge papers before Itachi came and he knew the if he showed his eye she would never discharge him.
"But sir," she said trying to stay calm but her voice told him that he was really annoying her. "from what your file says, it appears you may be suffering from some acute eye problems. We are looking at a possible corneal infection or retinal detachment. You cannot take this lightly."
"My stupid subordinates are just overreacting and I think you are too. " he said,he didn't want to admit that those problems did worry him a bit but right now he needed to leave this hospital. "I'm fine and the sooner I get back to my work the better it will be for me."
"Sir, I understand your work is important. Frankly, I can relate with you, the workload can be a bit stressful, I've even considered changing my current career choice," she chuckled and for some reason that made him laugh.
"Sounds like your fire is being dimmed." The room went silent for a bit once those words left his mouth. Sasuke didn't know where that came from. The last time he had say those words was when he was with Sakura. The image of her tear streaked face and broken hearted eyes from that night came into his mind.
"This isn't about me though sir, but about you. Now, here it says that you blacked out. Is that correct?" she said interrupting his thoughts.
"That was nothing, just an intern overreacting. I was tired and hadn't eaten that morning." he said cutting her off.
"Please answer my question." she snapped raising her voice a bit.
There was a pregnant pause before he answered. "Yes."
"Is there anything I should know about your medical history? Since I'm not allowed to look at anything other than what was documented in this hospital."
"Look, doctor. I don't have time for this. Can't you understand I feel fine."
"Maybe so, but first I cannot know if that's the case if I can't examine you. Second your file said that your eye was blood red, that alone means I need to at least examine your vision and to make sure a blood vessel didn't rupture in your eye."
"Look doctor Haruno, I bet you're very busy and so am I. So here's what I'm going to do," Sasuke took his checkbook out of his briefcase that was beside him and threw it over the curtain.
"This should speed things up."he thought.
"Write down how much it will take for you to discharge me from the hospital." Sasuke said as the checkbook landed haphazardly on Sakura's clipboard.
"How dare you!" she yelled surprising Sasuke, "I am a respectable doctor who values her work. For you to think that bribing me would work. That is disgusting! I can't be bought."
Sasuke scoffed at her innocence, this doctor reminded him of her, "I used to think the way you do when I was younger, but now I know the truth. When you don't, you are powerless, meaning anyone can decide your future for you, know this Dr., anyone can be bought. The more money you have the more power you acquire, the more control you have. Money is what decides a person's loyalty and their future. So I'll say it again, how much would it cost for you to discharge me Dr. Haruno?"
Before Sasuke knew what was happening the curtain was yanked opened. What he saw made his heart stop. There she was the only girl that made him feel something other than lust. The only girl he had been willing to give up his freedom for her safety.
For a while they were frozen neither finding the words to express the feeling they had at that moment. Sasuke took this time though to look at her. She looked even more beautiful than when they were younger. Her skin seemed softer, her lips fuller, her hair was longer and was a softer shade of pink. What he notice the most was her eyes. Back then they although beautiful were dull and lacked real purpose. But now their color was so such vivid shade of green. They were once filled with timidness and obedience now they shined with purpose. Seeing her like this made Sasuke's fill a sense a joy or even peace. Knowing that she had truly become a wonderful woman.
"Sasuke." she whispered his name and for that moment Sasuke's senses came back to him. Itachi, if he arrived and saw her here with him, would ruin her. Sasuke couldn't let that happen.
"Sakura, why are you here?" he said through the gritted teeth.
"Uh. Oh, right I'm your doctor so..."
"No, send me another doctor. " he demanded
"Excuse me?"
"I want another doctor. Who's the best doctor here?"
"When Tsunade and Shizune are gone, that title would fall onto me." she said holding her head high. "Don't think yourself so high and mighty. In this hospital, you are just another patient I have to take care of."
"I see." he said, a sense of joy filled his heart when she said that. Her attitude was completely different. She wasn't feeble with insecurities or the slightest bit scared. She was someone else, someone better.
"Good, because I'm not the same little girl you left on the floor, crying that night Sasuke." she said with ice in her voice. Those words stabbed him in the heart. Sasuke could never forget that night no matter how much he tried. The pain of hearing the woman who held his heart cry because of him shattered what little happiness he had. But even so that memory only strengthen his resolve to protect her from his misguided brother. She was who she needed to be and he couldn't let itachi destroy her.
"It doesn't matter anymore. I want a new doctor and I want one now."
"No." she she leaning forward. Her eyes burned deep green as if challenging him. Never in Sasuke's life did have ever felt such an urgent need to bring her lips to his. Remind her of the fierce flame that they once shared but he held himself back.
"Sakura, just discharge me."
"No Sasuke, I'm going to check your eye then I'm going to check your blood and do what ever else I deem fit and you are going to sit there and let me. Do you understand? " she said. Sasuke wasn't going to deny the fact that she turned him on like that. It took everything in him not to grab her and take her on this hospital bed.
"Fine." Sasuke said finally, "but make it quick, I have important things to do and need to leave quickly."
"I'm not surprised you were always one to leave quickly." Sasuke heard her say under her breath but choose to ignore her. The sooner this was over the sooner he could go back to pushing her away.
"So Sasuke, do you have a history of blacking out?" Sakura said looking at her clipboard
"Hn." he responded Sasuke didn't trust himself to say anything else
"Excuse me?" Sakura looked up at him with confusion.
"No."
"Better." she went back to looking at her clipboard, "Now can you give me a range of how much sleep you get in a night."
"About 2 to 3 hours a day I'd guess "
"Hmmm, that's nowhere near good a male around your age should be getting at least 7 hours."
Sasuke couldn't suppress the laughter that he had, "7 hours of pure uninterrupted sleep? That something I would love have that and well other things."
Sasuke regretted almost instantly when he said that. The air became increasingly thick with tension that Sasuke was overjoyed when Sakura ask another health question.
"How is your eating habits at home?"
"Decent I guess."
"Hmmm." was all she said before writing more stuff down wrote her chart
"Now I have some more questions and I need complete honesty." she pause and waiting till he nodded before continuing, "Does your family as far as you are aware have any illnesses involving the eyes such as strange discoloration?"
"I don't know, my brother would know the answers to this better than me."
"You have a brother?" Sakura asked looking up from her clipboard.
"Yeah." Sasuke winced realizing he said more than he should have. This check up was taking to long he needed to get her out of the room soon.
"Really can I have his contact information it would really help with learning what might have caused the discoloration of your eyes."
"No, absolutely not!" Sasuke practically yelled. No way in hell was he going to let her get in contact with Itachi.
"But this is a very important with this information image the break through I could make " she paused then quickly added, "… with improving your condition."
"No means no!" he yelled, "Fuck... guards! "
Immediately Kakashi came bursting in " Yes Uchiha-sama, is there something you or the doctor need?"
"No this doctor is annoying me. It appears that she is just an annoying fangirl. Please remove her from my presence at once and get me a doctor that has a brain."
"How dare you?!" he looked to sakura and saw her face was red with anger, "You despicable arrogant bastard! I am a professional."
Sasuke hated himself for doing this. He wanted to have her here longer, gazing into her deep green eyes, hearing her sweet voice say his name But this was reality and her safety was more important that his desire,"Kakashi remove her."
" Yes, Uchiha sama. Yamato please come in and escort her out of the room." Kakashi called out and immediately a man with brown spiky hair and smells of wood came in and grabbed hold of Sakura.
"Let go of me!" she demanded.
"Yamato," Kakashi said and Yamato wasted no time pulling Sakura from the room.
"No, let me go. Is this the man you've become? Getting these goons to remove me. Dammit Sasuke answer me!"
Sasuke didn't look at her, he knew if he did he wouldn't be able to let her go. What felt like forever Sakura was taken out of his room.
"Kakashi."
"Yes Uchiha-sama?"
"I know that you're in my brothers pockets, but is there anyway I could convince you to keep from telling my brother about that woman. "
There was a pause before the man spoke, "Is she important to you? "
Sasuke didn't say anything to him for fear of what will be Kakashi's response.
"Understood Uchiha-sama," Kakashi head to the door, "I will make sure that my subordinate understands this."
When Kakashi left Sasuke took a moment to breath again and think. Sakura his sweet Sakura was here in this hospital. When he left he had tried to keep track of her but she fell into the shadows at some point. He had given up seeing her but she had been so close to him without even him knowing it. Knowing that she is that close to him made him realize that at any point Itachi could run into her at some point.
As if by fate Sasuke's phone rang, "Hello?"
"Ahh Sasuke, I'm glad to hear your up I'll be there in less than 5 minutes. Has the hospital staff been treating you well?"
"Yes the staff have been attentive to my needs it is hands down the best service I've received in a while, well as good as staff of a hospital can offer." he turns his head to the door where he last saw the woman who still held his heart, "I haven't felt this good in a long time."
