Thanks for your reviews everyone x though I don't usually respond (quite lazy like that), I really appreciate them.
Patience Patient
"Here you go." Tenten slid a two-foot high stack of papers onto a chair, moving several more from a cluttered desk to more chairs on the side. The small desk Hinata had been given was near the window, opposite from the other girl's desk. It was scratched and had little storage space, but she didn't mind at all.
"Usually Kakashi and I just use it as extra surface area… I keep on telling him that we need more filing cabinets, but he doesn't bother." She snorted. "He's lazy like that, but you'll get used to it. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, you'll get a laptop (provided by the facilities of course) so that you can eventually work with the computerized files. For now… you'll have to just do paperwork. I'll take you around the building when we have a lunch break."
Hinata nodded, gingerly sitting down in the swivel chair behind the desk. "Ah… Tenten-san, do you want me to help with anything?"
"Hm…" The brown-haired girl tapped her pen against her pursed lips, looking at the files. "Since you signed the confidentiality forms, is it alright if I have you sort these?" She motioned towards the recently moved piles. "These files have the profiles of all the patients we have seen in the past year. We sort them according to what level their violence has started at, and what it is last we saw them. There are five levels, and in each of those levels, we order it by alphabetical order."
"Uh…"
Tenten sighed, going over to her desk to rifle through it. Coming back over, she placed a piece of paper in front of Hinata. "Here, this will help you. It's pretty easy once you start."
"A-Alright, I think I know what to do," Hinata said quietly. The other nodded, returning to her desk to start typing away furiously at the computer. She sighed, studying the contents of the sheet:
Levels (5) of Disorder (Violence)
Violet:
Patient is very easily agitated, and is very uneasily relaxes or calms down when provoked. Patient reacts suddenly and viciously, and lashes out at object of rage or object closest to them. Patient is usually emotionally unstable or unable to control their emotions, and shows very little regret for harming others, or goes out of one's way to abuse others.
Green:
Patient has certain subjects that will provoke them, and it may take some time to calm them down, or attempts to sooth patient will backfire. Reactions can be sudden, and are usually vicious, but most times patient attacks the offending object or person only. Patient
Red:
Patient is provoked
Patient only attacks someone physically when reasonably provoked, but never goes out of their way to harm someone excessively. There are warnings that prelude an attack, though patient can usually be calmed.
Yellow:
Patient tries to restrain themselves when rarely provoked, but reactions are easily predicted, and they can usually be calmed when angered. Patients tend to not resort to physical abuse, and have learned to ignore most subjects/objects/people that provoke them.
White:
Patient is sufficiently treated or their disorder was minor, and no longer requires therapy.
Hinata picked up one of the huge stacks of files, opening the folder to glance over the profile. She noticed the small box of color on the left corner, right above the name of the patient. This shouldn't be too hard… She placed Takahashi, Ryota to the left side of the desk, sorting the files into piles, one at a time.
By the time she was done with the majority of the many piles, two more had come to take their seat in the waiting area, not sparing her a glance. One had a high-collared coat on, hands folded calmly on his lap. His eyes were hidden behind small, black shades, but she'd expect them to be staring into space at the opposite wall; he was completely calm, and immersed in his thoughts. A small fly buzzed near his ear, landing on his shoulder, but he didn't seem to mind or notice.
The other waiting was in a hooded coat, dark fur trimming the edges of the bottom, the sleeves, and the top. It seemed worn, a little dirty, and only made the man seem wilder. He was out of place in the pristine, white office, shifting in his chair, and occasionally getting up to drink some water, or to look further out the window to view the trees below. His eyes were dark and small, shifting around to see if the others in the room would do something, obviously bored.
She sighed, flipping through the files to break the pace, making sure that she didn't go crazy from the boredom of paperwork. She reread their names and ranks inside her head, resuming the sorting. Yellow- Inuzuka Kiba, white- Sabaku Temari, green- Kaguya Kimimaro, yellow- Aburame Shino, violet- Sabaku Gaara, yellow- Tsuchi Kin, red- Uzumaki Naruto, violet- Uchiha-
"S-Sasuke?"
"Hm? Did you say something Hinata?" Tenten asked, glancing away from her computer.
The other just shook her head, mumbling quietly that it was no big deal, or something along those lines. Her white eyes skimmed quickly over the file, quickly trying to absorb as many facts as she could. Now I remember why his name's familiar… He's the heir to the Uchiha Corporation, the one the Hyuuga compete with. Her eyes widened as she read about the incident that had landed him in Konoha Psychiatric Facility to begin with. He…
The door to Kakashi's office slammed shut, the sound reverberating and startling her. With a squeak, she dropped the folder on her desk, quickly glancing over. Sasuke had just come out, evidently annoyed. He shot Hinata a glare, which she broke down under, cowering in fear and a tinge of guilt. He snarled, passing by the desk and storming out of the office, leaving behind a tense air.
She exhaled, sliding his file into the correct place on the pile. "Uh… Tenten-san? I-I'm finished sorting these." The other grinned cheerfully, bouncing over to thank Hinata, telling her that she herself would've taken a week or so and that she did a good job. She only responded with a blush, nodding quietly in shy embarrassment at the compliments.
"Kiba, you can go ahead, Kakashi's probably waiting for you," Tenten called to the one with the fang-like markings on his cheek.
"Alright!" He said with a grin, mostly filled with relief, leaping up. "Akamaru, wake up! We're going!" A small white lump under his chair stirred; a pale dog had been slumbering under his chair all the while. She only wondered whether or not dogs were allowed in the building. It barked, leaping up into the man's arms. He practically ran into the office, impatient to finish with his appointment.
Tenten grinned, laughing a little. "The same as ever, eh Shino?" She turned to the other, who nodded in response and rose slowly from his seat. "I haven't seen you in a while, you've been alright?"
"Yes. This is our last appointment."
"Really? I'm so glad that you two are going to be white." Her eyes softened a little, understanding. "Ah, by the way, this is Hinata." She patted Hinata on the head affectionately. "New intern."
She glanced up, startled. "O-Oh, um… hello." She turned red, ducking her head. Going white? So that means he doesn't have to come to therapy at this office anymore. I'm glad… he seems nice. She smiled a little.
His head shifted oh so slightly, his glasses gleaming and flashing with the shine of the florescent lighting as he examined her. "A pleasure," he said, bland and minimally polite as one could be. He obviously didn't play with words, straight to the point.
Tenten laughed. "Once you and Kiba are done, let's go to lunch," she suggested, checking her watch. "It's pretty light today… Kakashi's definitely going to let us go out. I haven't caught up with you guys in ages!"
"A group lunch is at two. They won't mind if she comes along."
Her mood changed, more brightened and vivacious than usual. "Really?! That's great- I was going to show Hinata around anyways!" She laughed. "Oh yeah, do you like ramen Hinata?"
"Um… yes?" She blinked, confused at the question. "Why?"
"You'll see."
---
I introduced Kiba and Shino, partly because I thought you all would be surprised that they had violence disorders, and partly because I'm a little hesitant on how to do Gaara and Itachi (which are the two most anticipated ones, I think at least). And this chapter was kind of like a filler.
Review.
