Thanks for the reviews people! You guys are really awesome! I took a while in updating but here is the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto because if I did, the fourth Hokage would've never died! (I'm a big fan of the Yondaime, hehe)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well…. Sasuke wasn't right about the day going to be long because after Sakura and Naruto left (right after Hinata showed up coming to take Naruto over for dinner at the Hyuuga Mansion), no one came by to see him. He waited…..waited…..waited…..but Kakashi didn't show up. 'Figures, he's still the sensei I knew, the same late bastard that used to make team 7 wait for him hours on the bridge. I'm sure that's one thing that hasn't changed around here' Sasuke thought.

He had woken up to see one of the nurse's blushing and too close to his face for comfort. She quickly backed away and turned redder than a tomato. He sighed, did he still have a fan club here? He shivered, if there was something that he hated, were the stupid fan girls that used to cling to him. 'The only one I could actually stand from all of them was Sakura' he thought. He never understood why though. He used to say it was because he had to, after all she was one of his teammates. Now he knew better…that wasn't it. 'I still wonder why it never bothered me when she was clinging to me all the time, it was as if I liked her there next to me, no I don't think that's it.' 'Of course it is you retard! Pff, and you're supposed to be a genius… what would you do without me, I'm clearly the genius side' Inner Sasuke blurted out.

Sasuke hated it when that annoying voice appeared. He got it after he had left Konoha and went with Orochimaru. At first, he had no idea what it was, his mind never did speak to him. Later, he just got used to it and gave up trying to figure out its origin. 'I wonder what Sakura would think if she found out that I'm a freak that has this weird voice talking to me in my head, I already know that Naruto would start laughing and pointing a finger at me.' Sasuke thought a little annoyed because the nurse had ran outside like if he were the worst possible monster.

While the nurse and Sasuke were having that awkward moment, Sakura had come to the hospital because it was her shift today. She had taken a nice and soothing bath last night and was up and ready for anything…..or at least she thought so…

"WHAT! Why do I have to get this patient!" she screamed at one of the nurses that had given her the list of patients that she had to check up on today.

"I'm so sorry Sakura-sama but the Hokage herself asked that you were to be given that specific patient because of his condition with the sharingan. You specialize on kekkei genkais and he has too many wounds for a normal doctor to heal. You are the leading doctor of this hospital, so the job was given to you." The nurse said while trying to calm Sakura down so she would stop screaming.

Sakura sighed and counted to ten inwardly. Why did she have to get Sasuke? She was afraid at first that she would get him as a patient yesterday but she discarded the possibility seeing that he was in pretty good shape when she saw him. "Fine, get out of my office" she said while taking another glance at her list and stopping to look at the same time. 'Why me!' she thought as the nurse, not thinking twice after she heard Sakura, was heading for the door and closed it. Sakura got up and looked at her clock. It was 8:30, Kakashi said he would be coming around 11:00 to see Sasuke meaning that he would appear around 2:00 or later. She smiled as she thought this. How she adored her sensei, he was like a father to her and still is. Whenever she needs to talk to someone, she heads over to his place and gets drunk with him. Well, she would get drunk while he would be reading his Icha Icha Paradise books. With this thought in mind, she left to start with her patients. 'I'll check on Sasuke when Kakashi-sensei goes to talk to him or else it would be too uncomfortable' she thought as she entered a room with the number 422 engraved in it.

He hears a loud knock on the door. "Go away! We're sleeping!" Naruto screamed while hugging Hinata harder against his chest. Hinata and Naruto live together, of course, Hinata's father was completely against it but Hinata didn't give a damn about her father anymore. Yesterday she went with Naruto to the Hyuuga Mansion to see Neji that invited them over to eat. Neji is now being treated as a member of the main branch because he showed his skills to Hiashi and he proved that he was one of the best Hyuugas. Since then, he doesn't have to worry about the mark on his forehead. He still has it, but the main branch promised to not do anything to him if he doesn't betray them. The dinner was fun and Naruto and her had arrived really late.

Hinata tried getting up seeing that the person at the door wasn't going to stop knocking at all, but Naruto wouldn't let his arms slide from her waist. Hinata went on top of Naruto and whispered in his ear. "What if it's something important, Naruto-kun?" He smirked, he loved feeling her breath in his ear and she knew it. He sighed and looked up at her when she lifted her face to see him eye to eye. He let go of her waist. She smiled at him and left towards the door. When she opened it, she smiled at the person at the door and let her come in.

"Sorry for coming so early in the morning Hinata-chan but I really needed to talk to you." she said while smiling.

"No problem Tenten, what's wrong?" Hinata asked looking straight into her eyes. Over the years, Hinata had been the confident of Tenten's and Tenten was hers. They became really close, thanks to Neji. He was the one that presented Tenten to Hinata and she was eternally grateful for that.

"Nothing's wrong, it's actually good news that I wanted to say to someone or else I felt like I was going to explode, so I came over" Tenten said with a giant smile in her face. Hinata pointed to the couch in her living room and both went to sit down. Naruto came into the living room scratching the back of his head and yawning. He looked at Tenten with weary eyes and smiled. "Sorry to have waken you guys up Naruto, but I have to talk to Hinata. You don't mind right?" Tenten said smiling at him.

"I'm hungry" he said and left to the kitchen. Tenten sighed, always his stomach before anything else. She knew what would happen later though. He would barge in through the kitchen door screaming at her for waking him up. She had to be quick with why she came before he can do that to her.

"I'm getting married!" she said smiling at Hinata even more than before. Hinata's eyes widened. She knew she had to explain it better because Hinata was too baffled and if there was anyone that knew Hinata other than Naruto, it was she. "Lee proposed yesterday and I couldn't sleep thinking about who to tell it to. That's why I came so early also." She held her breath waiting for a reaction from Hinata.

"Aren't you too young for that Tenten?" Hinata asked. Although Tenten was 20, still… Hinata didn't think she was ready for something like that. Her friend was too… childish? No, that's not it.

"I'm 20, I'm not 15 or something, anyway when you're in love Hinata it doesn't really matter how old your are don't you think? Don't tell me that if Naruto asked you to marry him you would say no." she said looking at Hinata straight in the eyes.

"That's different because Naruto and I have been together more than Lee and you. You've been together for two years." She said blushing, thinking of Naruto on one knee putting the ring on her finger. "Well, I guess you're right." She knew that she had to agree or else Tenten might think badly about it. She would probably stop talking to Hinata saying that she didn't understand her or something like that. "So…when's the wedding?" she asked trying to get the uncomfortable air to leave the room.

"It'll be in a couple of months." she said getting up from here seat. She was still thinking about the Naruto thing. "I have to go, Lee and I are going to train together" she said as Hinata followed her to the door. "Bye Hinata, I'll talk to you later about the rest." Hinata nodded at this and flashed a smile at Tenten before she closed the door. Naruto came up to Hinata. She looked shocked at him because she didn't know he was there.

"So, she's getting married?" he asked looking at her straight in the eyes. By now she knew that he had heard everything and blushed remembering what she said to Tenten about Naruto and the proposal thing. She looked at him and nodded. He grinned at her and she looked puzzled at him. He saw this and said "I'm happy that those two can finally be happy and have a family." She smiled at him but what happened next took her by surprise, Naruto had lifted her up bridal style and took her into their room.

"Naruto-kun, what are you doing?" she asked looking at him straight into his beautiful sapphire eyes.

"This is payback for getting me into the mood when you whispered in my ear, Hinata" he said. She blushed furiously like a tomato while he laid her down on the bed and he got on top of her. He pressed his lips against hers while she tangled her arms around his neck. One of his hands went under the nightgown and started roaming up her thigh. Hinata gasped and he saw that as his chance and pushed his tongue in her mouth. She couldn't help but moan when she felt his tongue exploring her mouth. She tasted so good, he loved her taste, she tasted like……he didn't know but he loved that taste. Both of them took off all their clothes and were left ony with underwear as they continued like that for some time. When they finished, they cuddled close to eachother, Naruto's arms around Hinata's fragile waist while he buried his face into her midnight blue hair. "You smell like blueberries, Hinata-chan" he decided to say without thinking. Hinata, that was snuggling to his chest, stopped to look up at him.

"Naruto-kun?"

-"Yea?"

-"Are you going to see Sasuke-san today?" Naruto looked confused. What did that have to do with everything that was happening to them right now? "It's just…that I wanted to know how Sakura-chan was doing and if you're going to the hospital I wanted you to go check up on her while you're there". Naruto grinned and nodded at her. They stayed like that for a while longer until they got up and went to take a shower. After that, they decided to part ways, Naruto was going to the hospital while Hinata was going to stay at the apartment and clean up. When she closed the door after Naruto left, she got to work, after all Naruto still the same Naruto that doesn't even do his bed.

Sasuke was sleeping when a door opened to reveal a tired Sakura. It was 2:00 and Kakashi still hadn't gotten here. Well she doesn't have any other patients left so she has to finish with Sasuke and then she can go home. She was really tired, she had three emergency operations that took a lot of chakra from her. If it weren't for one of the nurses that transferred some chakra into her, she'd probably not have enough for Sasuke's check up. She looked at the bed, he looked so peaceful and beautiful. 'He's so damn hot! CHA!' inner Sakura screamed. 'I know….wait what am I saying! ..He's ok, I guess' she thought as she walked up to check if he was awake or not. He was, but he tried hiding it from her…how dumb can he be! She's one of the top medics! Did he think that she was that worthless and weak that she wouldn't notice? Well she was going to play along. ""I guess he's still asleep." She said as she went to sit down in the chair next to Sasuke's bed. "If you knew how much I hate you, you'd be amazed. I bet I surpass your hate for Itachi. It's because of you my life changed completely. I learned how to hate and I learned so many other things about this world that I would've never imagined existed." She said trying to get it uncomfortable but so far no luck, she thought. He must not really care.

Sasuke was listening to all of this and was really sad. Why? Why was he so sad? He shouldn't care if she said that. Well, it's probably because he was used to her clinging to him then to saying such words to him. What Sasuke didn't notice is that while pondering about this little issue, he had moved his arm to his face. Sakura watched, it was like he wasn't paying attention to what he just did. She smiled, so it did affect him. She got up from her seat and immediately he got out of his trance and knew what he just did. He opened his eyes knowing that he was caught. Wait! She's smiling? She knew he was awake, so maybe she said that to get him to react and she really didn't mean it. "Next time, don't act like you're asleep with a medic-nin. It doesn't work, Uchiha-san." She said in a matter-of-fact tone, wiping the smile out of her face. Sometimes, he was so childish she thought. "I came for your check up." She came up to him and went straight to his chest to start the check up. While she was doing this he had a lot of time to stare at her. She's changed so much and yet, she hasn't changed at all. Her hair was long and…beautiful. Did he just think that? He kept on looking at her features. Her body is curved in all the right places. Her cherry lips are so breathtaking, he just wanted to grab her and kiss her. What was he thinking lately? Then he noticed something… a scar in her wonderful and silky skin. What was that doing there? It was a large gash that came from her right hand to the wrist. The wrist was all gashed as well! Was she cutting herself? No, not sweet Sakura, right? Right when he was going to ask her about it, the door suddenly opened.

"Yo!" he said raising his hand up to greet them. Sakura looked at the person and smiled a true smile. She stopped what she was doing and went to hug him. He received the hug and looked over his shoulder to look at Sasuke.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm sure everyone knows who this person is. I tried to make it clear because as an active reader who hates cliffhangers, I think it's nice to give you guys a clear view of who it is this 'strange' and 'mysterious' person. : ) Hoped you guys liked this chapter. It's the longest thing I've written in my life. Please review! I love them!
