I'm sorry I haven't updated in the longest time.
"I have been sick as a dog for the last fortnight. I had caught cold in spite of the eighteen degrees centigrade, the roses, the orange trees, the palms, and the fig trees. Three doctors-the most celebrated on the island-examined me. The first said I was going to die, the second that I was actually dying, the third that I was dead already…I am myself again. But my illness was unfavorable to the Preludes which will reach you God knows when…"
F. Chopin
Yeah…what he said…'cept substitute 'Preludes' with 'chapters'
So much for my resolution, huh? see reviews
The disclaimer: I don't think I own Naruto, or any other character, for that matter…not that I know of…well, if I did own it and didn't know, that would be kinda sad…
I only own Soroni…who's a character I made…which is also conveniently my pen name…
Right…
Should I have character death in this fanfic? I tried to stop myself from killing anyone off except Orochimaru (sorry, oro-fans) and he dies anyways in the manga…even if it is a bit sketchy…
Come on, sure, he has an implied tragic past, but heck, half the population of the Naruto world probably does…yes, even Kabuto…even him…
That, and he's accountable for (correct me if I'm wrong) at least an eighth of the aforementioned tragic pasts.
Should I get Sasuke to get rid of Itachi? I mean sure, he's hot but he probably will die in the actual plotline…shot by Itachi-fangirls
People have strange fetishes for major villains…
I don't feel like getting rid of Asuma in this fic, though…cuz then I'd feel bad for Kurenai, and I don't want Shikamaru to become a smoker…should I get rid of him?
Anyhoo, reader responses would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone sees any mistakes, whether it is grammatical, technical, or informational (yes, that is a word), would he/she/it (ya never know) please send it via email and not thru the reviews? Thanks. I'm weird like that…
Yeah, helluva A/N, eh? On wit' da show!
(dun dun dunnnnnn…)
Chapter 4
Sakura poof-ed off to the Hokage Tower to find her shishou singing what seemed to be a very off-key drinking song. She searched around for Shizune, but she, along with Ton-Ton, was nowhere to be found.
"Hey, Sakura! Sakura-chan, get me some hic sake!"
"No, shishou, you've already had enough." she sighed, and then panicked.
She probably found all the bottles we've been hiding…shit… damnit…Shizune wouldn't…
"Sakura, Shizune hic told me that you were the one who hid all these bottles. Now, my favorite little hic kunoichi wouldn't do that huh? No she wouldn't…"
…Shizune, that traitor…how the hell does shishou sound so threatening anyways when she's totally wasted?
Now, that is not nice of you to insult them like that
It's true, though
Who cares about that? Free booze!
…No help at all, as usual…
"O..of course not, shishou! Why would I do such a thing?"
"Don't know…Want some?" she slurred.
Free booze I tell ya, FREE! It's just right there for you to take and even after she offers it-
Just…shut it. No, I will not take the booze even if you start singing that insane drinking song. I have it enough outside of my head without my own inner self singing it too.
Hmm, that's actually a very good idea…
Watch it. I've already done my random act of kindness for the week. I might go insane…
Win-win situation for me. I get to watch you get either drunk or insane. Inner Sakura cackled and rubbed her palms maliciously.
Just…shut up. She made a mental note not to give her inner self more ideas as she pondered about who would be the worst to listen to: her shishou, her sadistic Inner self, or her drunken self. She realized that she couldn't know, mainly because she was never intoxicated enough to sing like that and if she ever were drunk, she probably wouldn't remember it anyways. She pushed the thoughts out and left her mentor, inebriated as she was.
God, if I stay here any longer, I think I'm really going to go crazy…Guess I'll just have to tell sensei what happened, myself.
She sighed and did the necessary hand seals.
She poof-ed back to find Kakashi doing push-ups on the floor.
"Sensei, what the hell are you doing?"
"…85…86…87"
"You're going to open up the wound again! How long were you down there?"
How did he get down there in the first place?
Shinobi.The two voices replied, simultaneously.
Right. I knew that.
But then again, how could she not know? It was what, simply put, described her lifestyle.
"…91…92…93"
Arms crossed in front, she decided to leave it as it was because hell, she wasn't arguing. He actually stayed in the building for once.
There's a first for everything…
She hoped this would be more or less regular, and that he'd stay at the hospital from time to time without having to be unconscious.
That's 'cause you like him.
Shut up. I am so not in love with my former teacher…
I never said you were in love with him, I said-
I said shut up.
"Ohayo to you too, Sakura. Back so soon. Did you miss me?" he glanced at her from the floor where he was sitting. He knew that he was in no situation to get her mad, but he had finished his 100 one-finger push-ups each, on all ten fingers and was now officially damn bored. He apparently caught her off guard as she stumbled backwards, breaking out of her trance.
"Don't flatter yourself, Kakashi-sensei," she smoothed out her medic uniform and cleared her throat, "Tsunade-shishou's…unfortunately not available for the moment…and Shizune-senpai…has an unexplained absence." She sighed, pulling out a pencil and picking up her clipboard.
"So…what happened before you ended up as a mess?"
A/N: I'm sorry again that I didn't update for so long.
Please! No, not the gophers!!! AAAAAAaaaafgfhmngh…
Right…
