Hey guys! In the end, my mom cancelled the trip to Florida so………..I'm still here! I'm so happy I didn't have to go runs around jumping up and down! Anyway this is chapter 6 and like always thanks to all of my reviewers.
I love each and every one of you guys so much!
One of my reviewers (gaara's tenyo) brought to my attention that I could space a bit more so in this chapter I'm going to try my hardest to do something about that and thanks for bringing that up.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto because I never did come up with the idea about a blonde-haired ramen-lover. So…….my creativity didn't go that far. sniff sniff Too bad.

She woke up to the sounds of the birds chirping outside her window. Why did they have to be so annoying and wake her up at such an hour!
Sakura got up from her bed and looked at her watch. It was seven in the morning. She sighed, her nightmares haunted her last night. She must've slept three hours tops if not less. Her father's words and doings were unbearable. She remembered how she got that gash on her right hand and shivered.
She got up and went to take a shower when she saw something out her window that surprised her extremely. It was raining, but the weatherman said it was going to be sunny! Oh well, since when is the weatherman right?
She got into the shower and thirty minutes later she came out with only a towel around her body. She sat on her bed and looked outside her window. Somehow, she felt that today would be a gloomy day.
Rain…it was raining. He loved the rain. It washes away everything, especially the blood that he always had in his hands. His partner looked at him and all he did was nod at him. The fish-like face man smiled showing all of his shark-like teeth. Then, he stopped and looked at the Hokage's heads.
-"Let me ask you something" he asked still looking at the monument.
-"Hn" was the only word that appeared out of his mouth.
-"Why are you so obsessed with him?" the shark-face man countered.
-"He's my play toy" the man with red orbs said while looking up at the sky. The rain kept on pouring, but to him it was like he was completely dried when the truth is that his whole body was drenched.
-"You say it like if he weren't your brother. I'm heartless, but you…you are something else" The red eyed man smirked.
-"Yes I guess I am, Kisame" The man named Kisame shivered. This man said his name venomously. Although he was his partner for some time already, he still wasn't used to this man's mood swings. "Let's go, we'll visit some other time, he has visitors already." He said wiping the smirk off his face.
Kisame neared his partner and looked towards the hospital. He saw a pink-haired woman giving the youngest Uchiha some medicine and a glass of water. "When should we strike then? That woman must be his doctor and she will probably there constantly watching over him." He said moving his gaze toward the other man next to him.
-"Her name's Sakura and we'll be back soon. I don't know why otouto decided to come back, but for whatever the reason is, I'll make sure that he doesn't forget his revenge."
Kisame was surprised that he knew the girl's name but shrugged it off. There's nothing that this man doesn't know. With that, Kisame and Itachi left in a puff of smoke.
-"How are you feeling today Uchiha-san?" Sakura asked in a monotone voice.
-"Hn"
Sakura sighed and left Sasuke after giving his medicine. Before closing the door though, she turned to look at him.
-" Tomorrow you can leave the hospital" she said to him. He nodded in acknowledgement and with that she left the room.
Sakura walked down the halls thinking and not clearly looking where she was going until she bumped into the person who she was thinking about.
-"Good morning Sakura, it seems that your head is somewhere else. Remember what I told you yesterday and try to watch where you're going next time, okay?" Tsunade said softening her voice at the last part of her sentence and looking into Sakura's eyes.
-"Sorry Tsunade-sama" she said while her eyes gazed into her ex-teacher's almond ones. Then something hit her. "May I ask what it is that you are doing here?" Sakura said with slight confusion in her eyes as she tilted her head to the side.
-"I came to see the Uchiha" Tsunade said breaking the gaze from her pupil and walking away towards where Sakura was coming from. "I need to tell him all the things that the lazy ass of Kakashi didn't say to him." She said as she left and went into the room.
Sakura sighed, she knew her sensei very well and that couldn't be the only thing she came to say to Sasuke, but she shrugged it off and left towards her next patient's room.
-"Good morning Uchiha. Let's talk" Tsunade said as she sat down next to Sasuke.
Sasuke wasn't paying much attention. He was looking out of his window at the rain. He didn't like it when it rained. It made everything look so sad and cold. It reminded it of what he had become but now it reminded him of something else…. someone else.
Sakura… what she had become. He averted his gaze to Tsunade. God, he was not in the mood for this. She is so damn annoying. He sighed.
-"Aa" Tsunade quirked an eyebrow out of annoyance, but then brought it back down.
-" How's the curse?" she asked looking at him straight in his eyes.
Sasuke's eyes widened. How did she know that it acted up yesterday? Naruto…or was it Sakura? His eyes went back to normal and then gave an air of annoyance too the woman.
-"Fine"
-"Why is it acting up if Orochimaru is dead?"
He glared at her.
-"It doesn't need Orochimaru to work."
-"Why is that?" His left eye started twitching. How stupid can this woman be?
-"He implanted his power into it so I have his strength even if he's dead. It acts up by my emotions." He added hoping that the interrogation ended. He wasn't in the mood to talk. He was still pissed from yesterday. At what? He doesn't know, but he just is.
-"Oh, well anyway Uchiha your stupid sensei forgot to tell you something very important yesterday." Sasuke raised a brow. "Like you got Sakura and not Naruto you'll have to do service to the hospital, meaning that you'll act as Sakura's personal nurse." Tsunade ended with a smile on her face. She was having fun teasing him and he knew it.
Was that why Sakura was smirking yesterday? No, she didn't speak to Tsunade yet when she found out that Sasuke was going to stay with her. Another mystery about her he would have to solve.
-"Why?"
-" She can't leave her duties to guard you and she has to guard you 24/7 so you'll have to hang around her."
-"Give her vacations." He said in his monotone voice. Tsunade quirked an eyebrow and almost dropped dead of laughter. Sasuke looked at her like if he never saw a person laugh before in his life.
-"Sorry Uchiha but that's impossible" the Godaime said after her laughter subsided. Sasuke looked at her as if saying 'why' again. She sighed. The Uchiha doesn't use his vocal cords for nothing does he! Why did he even have them if he wasn't going to use them? "She's the best medic-nin I have and I can't afford to lose her, not even for a month, or in this case a year."
Was she that good? The weak kunoichi he knew turned into the best medic-nin of Konoha? Who would've guessed it. As if she were reading his thoughts, she sighed. Did he still underestimate Sakura? How naïve can the guy get?
The Godaime got up from her seat and headed towards the door. She looked back at the Uchiha and smiled.
-"Something else you should know if you still think less of Sakura. She's an elite ANBU and has surpassed the Hokage by ten folds." She said as she closed the door behind her.
Sasuke blinked twice before he let the words sink in. After that he went back to look out the window and think about the certain pink-haired kunoichi that supposedly had become more mysterious than the Uchiha himself.
Flashback
-"Tsunade-sama, you wished to see me?" said Sakura as she came into the Hokage's office.
-"Yes, sit down Sakura" Tsunade said, not taking her eyes off her paperwork. Sakura sat down and waited for her sensei to speak. "The Uchiha is staying with you right?"
-"You had that planned all along didn't you? You knew that Naruto couldn't and that if you asked Kakashi you wouldn't have enough trust on him to take care of this matter. You had it all planned so I would get him." Tsunade smiled at her pupil.
-"Yes"
-"May I ask why Tsunade-sama?"
-"There is no other person that I trust with this job more than you, Sakura. I knew that if I asked you to do it directly, you wouldn't have taken the mission. I know you never declined a mission before but seeing how this is Sasuke Uchiha we're talking about then I assumed-"
-"You assumed wrong" Sakura said cutting off the Godaime's sentence. "I would've taken it because it is my duty. Why did you summon me Hokage-sama" Sakura asked with a little anger in her voice.
Tsunade thought she still had feelings for Sasuke! As if she would ever care about him again. She doesn't care about him so of course she would've taken the mission!
-"To tell you that as punishment towards the Uchiha, he will become your personal nurse" Tsunade couldn't hold the laughter and broke down right there. Sakura smirked, but then it faded thinking about how Sasuke and her would be together every single day at every single hour.
When Tsunade stopped laughing she looked at Sakura seriously and hid every hint of laughter or a smile that wanted to creep into her features.
-"You will watch him every hour of every day until we are assured that he won't betray us again. You will make a report everyday of the activities that took place and about any suspicion that might lead to something. I want to know everything, even at what time he stepped foot exactly in what place. Understood?"
-"Yes Hokage-sama" with these words, Sakura got up and left the room while the Hokage smiled at as her ex-pupil closed the door. Things are going to get interesting…
End of Flashback
Sakura sat in her office thinking about what had happened in the Hokage's office. 'Why me' she kept pondering, wanting to ask every god that existed why did they have to curse her with such a burden.
She had finished a while ago with all of her patients for today and all that she could think of was why did she have to get Sasuke! Why couldn't Tsunade trust someone else with the job! Suddenly the door opened and she looked up at the guy standing before her.
-"Hey ugly" she smirked at him. The word ugly coming out of his mouth didn't fell insulting anymore after all those years that passed. It was like a way of saying that he cared for her.
-"What are you doing here Sai?" she said trying to show annoyance in her tone and succeeding.
-"Came to check up on you after I heard of a certain patient that you have. You okay?" Sakura quirked an eyebrow at him and her smirk grew wider. Since when did he worry so much about her? Oh yeah, since they became best of friends and treat each other like brother and sister.
-"Fine. Get lost Sai, I'm not in the mood for your crappy jokes."
-"The Uchiha getting to you? Well, I just came for a visit. The Hokage wants me on another mission so I'll be gone for a while." Sakura looked down and then looked back up at him.
-"Good luck" she gave him a thumbs up and he smirked.
-"Luck is for losers ugly and you know it."
-"That's why I'm saying that to you, loser."
-"Whatever, see you later"
-"When do you come back?" He looked at Sakura straight in the eye and then opened the door to leave. God he was going to miss her a lot. She grew on him just like Naruto did also and he cared dearly for both of them, but duty calls.
-"Soon" Without him seeing her, she smiled, a sad smile but she smiled as he closed the door behind him. She got up from her desk and also decided to leave the hospital for the day. She was off to visit the Nara's.
