Shizune was very unnerved. Tsunade lowering her beauty jutsu shows just how how worried her mentor was. Shizune had been with the great sannin for almost three decades and had never ever seen her true form. She didn't see anything weird about the scroll. It didn't appear cursed or trapped in any way, the only thing is the seal wasn't circular but it was artfully drawn laterally across the edge of the page, the old way. She looked at her mentor but quickly averted her eyes, she just didn't feel comfortable seeing the great Sannin... So bare. Shizune had seen the busty woman naked but this was different. She stood and walked over to the scroll. The ornate seal appeared to be a monkey hanging on a vine. The curly vine is what ran along the edge of the paper sealing it shut.
Shikamaru sighed internally, conflicted on what exactly should he tell Sakura when she awoke. He didn't know which would be worse.. lying or telling the truth. Could he look in her emerald eyes and lie? Well he looked down at the pinkette, at the blood, his blood on her face. He looked away and studied her office searching for an answer. He saw lot of paperwork and regrettably some he messed up. He had crashed into her desk coming thru the window. Speaking of the window he noticed a bloody imprint on her window frame and on the curtains. Kami he bled alot. He almost sighed out loud before remembering the comrade currently in his lap. He looked at the doctor. Really looked at her. She had bags under her eyes that didn't look like smudged make up. Her hair was getting long again, her tidy bun had somehow unraveled making her have a wavy pink ponytail down almost to her elbows. The style reminded him of his blonde teammate, the one his scorpions told were rumoured to be his fiancée soon. He frowned and unknowingly tensed. Causing a certain pinkette to stir.
Sakura quickly found her bearings and quickly leapt up.
Shikamaru groaned and was about to mutter troublesome but froze when he felt hands on his chest. She was fast. Already in doctor mode Sakura sent her chakra into his chest her hands green. Puzzled her hands glowed purple before fading. Her analysis said he was fully healed. Green eyes moved from her hands to his face and looked into her patient's eyes.
Shikamaru was highly aware of how close the pinkette was to him. She was very fast and it took him off guard. Thats what he kept telling himself was the reason he couldn't move. It had nothing to do with her on her knees between his legs hands on his chest, eye level to him since he was sitting up on her couch.
"Troublesome..." Shikamaru finally grumbled.
Inner Sakura had never laughed harder in her life.
"Baka he was groaning at the situation not in pain you healed him fully!"
Turning red, fully humiliated by the laughter in her head she once again retreated away from the brunette.
"You know.. if I didn't know any better I would say you just wanted to be in the Nara's lap!" Teased inner still giggling.
Shoving the annoying voice out of her head, Sakura addressed Shikamaru.
"You had severe deep lacerations all along the entirety of you back and also several that criss cross on your sides."
Shikamaru sighed outwardly this time.
