Chapter 7: The Miscalculated Wish

Today has to be my lucky day! I didn't think that I would actually catch up with Ino as soon as I got here! Finally, this is my time to shine!

"Good morning Ino! How are you feeling today?" I'm doing it! I'm actually talking to Ino without making a fool of myself!

"Good morning to you as well Naruto! I'm doing well, thanks for asking! How are you doing? It seems like you are well."

"Yes, I'm great today!"

"Well that's good. This is unusual! You never really talk to me. Is something wrong, do you need something?"

"No, nothing is wrong." I smiled at my beautiful love as we continued to walk through the halls of the hospital. Now what? I couldn't continue to let this awkward silence cloud over us. She did look great this morning though, greater than she normally does, if that is even possible. She was almost glowing! She was just like an angel.

"Ino, you are looking very beautiful, almost heavenly today..." Wait...what?! I didn't mean to say that! I wanted to say she looks nice, nice, that's all! Not go so far as telling her she looks beautiful, let alone heavenly! Coming right out and saying those things is just too bold, that's just embarrassing!

"Really Naruto, you think so?! Thank you! I didn't know you thought that way about me. Wow, you're full of surprises today. You're not just teasing me are you?" Ino let out a small snicker that rang in my ears like a soft, sweet melody. Of course I'm not teasing you, I would never do something like that to someone as sweet as you.

"Okay now I really think you are teasing me. You've never said anything like that to me before, that was so romantic. Are you trying to ask me out on a date," Ino asked jokingly.

"Ye-," I threw my hand to my mouth before I could finish. What the hell is going on?! What am I saying?! I can't believe I said what I was thinking just that easily! I didn't even know what was coming out of my mouth! I thought I was just thinking about not teasing her and how sweet she is, I didn't want to actually say it! And now, now I'm about to say yes to going out on a date with her?! I can't do that, you shouldn't just come right out and ask someone out on a date! It should be special, timed correctly! You have to work your way up to something like that when asking someone as special as Ino is to me! At least that's what I believe in. Why? Why am I saying everything that I'm thinking...wait a minute...

~Flashback~

"Asami! I know what I want my wish to be!"

"Ok what is it?"

"I wish I can be able to say whatever comes to mind when I'm around Ino!"

"Uh, Naruto, are you sure that's what you want?"

"Yes!"

"...Are you really-"

"Just do it already!"

~End Flashback~

That's it. That is why I can't control myself! I can't breath! "Naruto." I can't believe that I screwed this up! It's because I wished incorrectly, I am the villain in my own story! "Naruto." What is that? Am I hearing someone calling me? The voice is getting louder. I don't care, my life is over. I just want to die. "Naruto!"

"Ino?"

"Are you ok?"

"Uh...yes I'm fine."

"Are you sure? You just kind of dazed out."

"No, I'm fine."

Ino stared at me in disbelief for a while. "Okay, if you say so. On another note, did you just ask me to go on a date with you?"

No...no I can't think! I can't answer her! I have to get out of here now! Think, think...I have to leave, I have to leave! "Well Ino, I have to leave now! Good bye!"

I walked away as Ino gawked at me like I had three heads on my shoulders. Now she has to really think I'm weird, and I even yelled at her again. That's definitely it, my life is officially over, and now because of that stupid wish, I'm going to have to avoid Ino like the plague.

You would think since Ino and I are in different sections of the hospital, I would avoid her all day, but once again fate dealt out her cruel hand and I spent all day ducking, and dodging Ino. It was like a curse! She would come into the cardiology section of the hospital for unknown reasons. So I'd wander off somewhere else, and then some how Sasori would get me to come into the maternity wing and she would suddenly just appear there after I just left her in the cardiology department! This girl was busy and quick! But that's another one of the reasons why I love her so much. It was a disaster though! Now was definitely not the time to be admiring her!

There was even a point in the day when I almost got beat up twice! Once by Ten Ten because Sasori and I just happened to be walking by her station while she was reading a book. Ino was in a room across from her, but obviously she was close enough because the words just flowed out like water from a drain. I told Ten Ten that she was never going to find a good boyfriend if she continued to read those pathetic romance novels and give incorrect advice to others about their love life (frustration left over from when she told Ino to tell Sasori about her love for him) and unless she wanted to be lonely for the rest of her life, she needed to get off her lazy butt, stop hanging off of other people's lives, and go out and find her own life outside of this hospital. Of course, she wasn't too thrilled by what I said. I didn't mean to say it, I was thinking it! I didn't want her to hear that, I mean...that's just mean to say to anyone! Even some one like Ten Ten who I just don't like! Let's just say Ten Ten was not too thrilled, and almost caused a scene. Sasori found it quite humorous though, snickering under his breath so Ten Ten wouldn't notice him and her wrath wouldn't fall upon him as well. Ino was on her way out to find out what was going on, but thank goodness for Sasori's impatience, because after he was finished laughing, we were on the move again and I avoided direct confrontation with Ino.

The second time was just as bad as the first time! Again I was with Sasori, who I now believe brings bad luck to my life. I went to my office to avoid Ten Ten, just incase she came looking for me. Once some time had gone by, and I figured everything had settled down a little, I came out and went around to my patients to check on them. After that, there really wasn't anything else for me to do, I didn't have any surgeries scheduled until later on that day, so I decided to just relax in my office a little more. Unfortunately for me, when I got there Sasori had been chatting with nurses at the nurse's station in the cardiology wing. He, of course, was waiting for me to walk by, since my secretary told him I was doing my rounds; visiting my patients, and since I'm too nice to tell him to go bother someone else, I stopped to talk to him. Okay, maybe the side of me that doesn't hate him because Ino is attracted to him wanted to talk to him just a little because he is an okay guy to talk to, had something to do with me stopping and having a conversation with him, but I still think he brings bad luck to me!

A nurse (not from my wing or Ino's wing, just a nurse in the hospital I randomly met one day) that I had went out on one date with a while ago came to stalk me again. Daily this woman comes around here and tries to convince me to go out on a date with her again, at least that's what it feels like to me. Over and over again, I have to hear her whine and beg for me to take her out again. Saying that I was the best date she had ever had, and that she and I would just be perfect together! I've had girls stalk me for a while, and ask to go out on dates with me more than once, but usually they get the hint. Oh but not this one, she just wouldn't stop. Hopefully after today though, she will, because unfortunately for her, I was thinking that she was a miserable, worthless, lunatic, and I wouldn't date her again even if she was the last specimen on earth. That I was in love with someone else, and if she continued to come around me, I would get a sexual harassment charge put against her. Once again, everything just flowed out like I was having a normal conversation with her. I didn't yell, I didn't even put on an angry face, I just...talked. But just like the last time, I believe she wanted to hit me. I felt bad for what I said, I didn't mean for it to come out, but at least that might stop her from coming around me. Sasori just stood in shock for a while before turning away from the girl and laughing again. He was getting a kick out of my misery. If he only knew what was really going on.

Why did I suddenly just come out and say what I was thinking to that nurse when Ino wasn't even around? On the contrary, Ino was around when I said what I said. To leave the hospital, you have to go through the cardiac wing, and guess who happened to walk by Sasori and I to leave the hospital to grab lunch, just as I was thinking those things? You got it, Ino! Sasori walked the girl away from me before she slammed my head into the wall, and gave her some bogus reason like I was under a lot of stress, and that was why I said those mean things to her. Like I said, I didn't mean for my words to come out like that, but I definitely got the point across, and hopefully that will be the last I see of her.

After that, I stayed in my office until I had surgery to perform, and after being in surgery for four hours, I did my rounds again and headed straight to my office. That was what I should have done all day in the first place.

knock knock

"Who is it?!" I yelled at the closed door.

"Hey, so you are in here," Sasori said as he entered the door. I didn't say he could come in! I asked who was it, yet he just voluntarily lets his self in! Today has to be my worst day...it just has too!

"Yeah, I need to relax. I'm definitely not going out there again, so I can put my foot in my mouth again like I did with Ten Ten and that nurse."

"Yeah about that. What was with you today? You are normally outspoken and straight to the point, which is why I admire you as a friend, but today was just...just not like you. Sure it was hilarious, but it wasn't professional at all, and you are normally very professional."

I sat there in a daze for a while. Listening to him lecture me was the icing on the cake. I couldn't take the day anymore. I was tired, worn out, stressed out, and pissed! I wanted to go home, but like I normally do, I was working a twelve hour shift today and had three more hours to go before I could go home.

"Naruto, are you ok?"

"Huh...oh yeah, I'm fine. I'm just beat. I don't feel like myself today."

"Maybe you just need some rest, I'll leave and let you-" Before Sasori could finish, there was a knock at the door. I asked who was it, and a sweet voice called out saying, "Ino." I invited her in, but she only peaked her head in the room. "I'm sorry to bother you Naruto, but-"

"You're not bothering me." I said with a smile. Shut up self! Let her finish talking!

"Oh...ok," she said uneasily, "I was just looking for-" She stopped once she noticed her target sitting on the couch behind my door. "Ah, there you are Sasori! I've been looking for you! As usual, you're with Naruto. Anyway, I need to go over something with you back in maternity, this won't take very long."

"Oh sure, of course Ino. Naruto, I'm going to take my leave now. If I don't see you before you leave, get some rest and I hope you feel better."

"Um, okay..."

"Thanks Naruto, see ya," Ino smiled.

"Wait, Ino I don't want you to go!" What?! Not again! No, no, no!

"What's wrong, Naruto?" I squeezed my lips shut, biting on them so hard they were almost to the point of bleeding. I had to do something, I couldn't let myself talk, not at all. I shook my head, and waved my hand at her telling her that it was nothing and to go on. She smiled, she was a little confused, but none the less, she did smile, and continued on her way.

"Man, this day can not get any worse. I can't wait to be able to leave. Once I get home, I will cancel this stupid wish," I said to myself, "Speaking of wishes, I wonder what Asami did all day? Hopefully, her day wasn't as horrifying as mine." Yes, when I'm finally able to go back to Asami, I will be able to fix this mess, and make a new wish! Then, everything will be perfect...but wait! What if I make another wish, that back fires in my face again? I can not go through another day like this one! No, I need Asami with me at all times! But I can't just carry her to work with me and have her sit in my office all day. She isn't invisible to everyone else anymore, people will ask questions. There has to be some way I can have her around me at all times. I could have her work here, but I don't think she has any medical experience. The secretarial staff is already filled in the hospital, so she won't be able to do that. What, can I bring her in as?

Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please review and fav!
