Impossible

Hello there, my lovelies! Welcome to the wonderful world of my mind. *angels sing Hallelujah* No? Okay…

So if you didn't know, I am also in a middle of another story called 'Butterflies and Friendzones' which is centered around Shino and Hinata. Yes I know I'm a huge Hinata fan…

Anyways, I made a schedule of posting up chapters for 'Impossible' on either Mondays or Tuesdays and chapters for 'Butterflies and Friendzones' on Thursdays or Fridays.

Now… ONWARD!

Chapter 3: Your Nurse

Uchiha Sasuke's nose scrunched. The smell of alcohol filled his nostrils and it did not please him in any way. The rays of the sun was brightly violating his face and he made an effort to throw his covers over his head. With extreme difficulty, he barely covered his eyes. His arms felt like jello and slumped around his head where he decided to live them be. An obnoxious chortle caught his attention. He snapped his head up and lifted his heavy lids. The sudden jolt sent Sasuke's head swimming.

"So you're awake now, huh, teme?" The familiar neon yellow hair of his best friend made the Uchiha squint.

"Naruto." Sasuke mentioned his name with dryness. Now noticing how parched his throat was. His eyes wandered around the room for any source of refreshment. From the looks of the walls and bed sheets, he assumed he was in a hospital. Forgetting about his throat and water, Sasuke aggravatingly glared at the blonde. Sasuke was not pleased at all.

"You dobe, why did you bring me back here?"

"I told you, Sasuke… I told you that I would bring you back here, didn't I?"

Irritatingly, Sasuke decided to glare down the window instead of looking at the Nine-Tails container.

"I didn't ask you to—"

"Oh well Sakura did and I promised her that—"

"Well, you shouldn't have promised something that doesn't even concern—"

"Well, it concerned me because it concerned her and you know how I feel for—"

"Well, that makes you an idiot—"

"I'M NOT AN IDIOT, TEME, YOU—"

"SHUT IT, LOSER!"

The two were cutting each other off with curses and insults. Their voices were rising with each insult thrown and their fists were punching the air. Accusing fingers were pointed and steam was rising from the other's head. What started off as an argument turned into a full out comedic war. Their little battle soon ended when an opal-eyed nurse holding a clip board and a glass of water slid open the door, unaware of their clash.

"N-naruto-kun, after checking Sasuke, I will be going into Ita—" Hinata immediately clamped her mouth shut when she saw the avenger awake. She walked past the kitsune, while giving him an adoring side glance, and laid the glass on the bedside table along with two little white pills. "A-ano, Uchiha-san, you're a-awake. Please t-take these," Hinata motioned to the medicine. "so your wounds c-can properly heal."

Sasuke studied the unusually quiet girl. The girl had an inky, blue tone to her dark hair that complimented her rich, cream-like skin. Her uniform was a soft lilac button down dress that stopped right above her knees. She wore a pair of indigo colored leggings underneath. The fabric hugged her curves but was still a modest and innocent look on her. A cute cap the same color of her uniform sat on top of her head. Her above-average sized bust was snug in her shirt. This, Sasuke was not familiar to. But she still seemed too familiar to him as he took another once over, only to stop his gaze on her eyes. The pale, lavender undertoned eyes plunged him into an ocean of memories.

"Hyuuga-san." He remembered Hyuuga Neji's eyes from years ago. Before the chuunin exams started, the cocky ninja asked for his name. His eyes were different from this girl's though. His were filled with hatred and cockiness while hers were soft and compassionate. Hinata felt uncomfortable under his judgmental stare and took interest on the clip board she was holding.

"Oh, yeah, Hinata-chan here will be your nurse since Tsunade-obaachan said it would be in your best interest if your caretaker was quieter or something like that." Naruto rested his hands behind his head. Sasuke popped his medication in his mouth and brought the glass of water to his lips.

"Which reminds me! I'm gonna go find Sakura-chan right now and tell her you're awake!" Naruto then slammed the door open and sprinted to find his pink headed kunoichi friend. Hinata's eyes followed after him before giving an inaudible sigh.

Sasuke visibly cringed and nearly choked on the two little pills at the mention of his former pink haired teammate. Dear god, how she disgusted him! What idiot throws themselves at a person day and night? Even after all these years, Sasuke probably knew that Sakura would gladly drool all over him again. He placed the now empty glass on the table again. He looks up at the still writing Hyuuga. He took note on the blue hued dark hair she possessed and the creaminess tone of her skin.

Now I remember… Hinata. Hyuuga Hinata. That quiet weakling with the duck butt hair from the Academy days.

"Hinata-san," Sasuke mentioned her name flatly, causing the Hyuuga girl to flinch. "how long till I am discharged."

Hinata stopped her doodling and looked up at the rogue-ninja in front of her. "A-ano… Tsunade-sama says t-that her and the elders are s-still deliberating before releasing you i-into the village…" Her eyes never left the clip board so she didn't notice him seethe in exasperation. She much rather preferred staring at paper than the black abyss of the infamous Uchiha Sasuke. Curiously, she looked at him, unaware of his boiling anger. "Uchiha-san?" Sasuke raised his brows to signal that was listening but continued firing his hatred out of his eyes. Wow, Hinata was so oblivious. "I wasj- just wondering… How d-did you remember m-me so quickly? I-I… You never acknowledged m-me before, if I recall my m-memories correctly…"

"Ah, Hinata-san," Sasuke's emotionless mask built up again. "there's a lot about me that you do not know."

"Oh… I-I'm sorry, Uchiha-san." Hinata looked down at her clip board again.

"For what? You didn't offend me or anything. And it's not like I can forget a kunoichi who happens to be shy, have white eyes, and blue hair with a duck butt hair style. Well, at least it's long now." The Uchiha pointed out with smirk.

The Hyuuga just stood there paralyzed. Was she that obvious?

Duck butt hair…? DUCK BUTT HAIR?

Her face began to blush a tomato red in both embarrassment and slight anger. Her eyes darted to the smug man in the hospital bed. She eyed his hairstyle for a moment.

LOOK WHOSE TALKING?

She used all her strength to collect herself and fought the blush down. Putting on her friendliest smile, she closed her eyes and retort. "As to you, Uchiha-san. At least I changed my duck butt hair. Unfortunately for you, you didn't grow out of the hairstyle yet."

Sasuke's smug expression picked up a bitter glare. But damn, did that Hyuuga girl got guts to say such a thing to an Uchiha. Uchiha Sasuke to be exact. She definitely changed for the better since the last time he saw her, but his pride was too huge to swallow and didn't tell her that. Instead, he sent her the most hair-raising glare he could muster. His eyes flared in annoyance, but Hinata's smile didn't budge. She only smiled wider. This actually infuriated the boy.

How could this girl make me so angry just by freaking smiling?!

"Forgive me, Uchiha-san but I must be going now. I will be back tonight for another check up." Hinata picked up the empty glass from the table adjacent to the bed and brightly beamed back to the frustrated boy. She slid the door of his room and out the next second. Sasuke's glare then faded as he closed his eyes in contemplation.

This Hyuuga girl… She has some balls. And she didn't even apologize or stutter just now. Sasuke inwardly smirked. Maybe she isn't so bad. At least she isn't a loud ass like Sakura or Ino or that sand ninja girl.

As fast as Hinata left, Sasuke heard two pairs of heavy and fast paced foot steps outside of his door. Two girls, with hearts etched into their eyes, nearly ripped the door from its hinges. They were both wearing the same uniform Hinata was wearing earlier but a bit more revealing.

Speak of the god damned devils.

"SASUKE-KUN!" the two medic ninjas adoringly exclaimed in unison.

Sasuke quickly averted his eyes from the squealing girls and out the window, wondering how far down the ground was, and how hard would he have to drop kick both girls in order for them to go far enough to go out the window. However, his calculating was interrupted by two pairs of arms being wrapped around his torso and legs.

"BACK OFF, INO-PIG!" Sakura screeched at the blonde medic-nin with an accusing finger. Sakura wore a faded red uniform that was three sizes too small for her and was only about three inches from revealing her lady parts to every person in the world. Even though it was still a tight fitting outfit, her flat chest failed to show.

"IN YOUR DREAMS, BILL BOARD BROW!" Ino began prying Sakura's arms from Sasuke's legs. Ino's faded purple outfit was more fitting but showed too much skin. Her uniform was a two-piece. Very similar to Hinata's and Sakura's but instead of a dress, it was a shirt and a skirt. The shirt was a very high crop top that showed everything from her under breast and down to the elastic band of her mini skirt which was a fraction lower than Sakura's skirt. Her nurse cap was bobby pinned down in the middle of her head where her long pony tail passed through.

Fucking whores. What kind of nurse dresses like this? They're gonna give an old geezer a heart attack if they walk in looking like that. Unprofessional. They should be more like Hinata…

Sasuke stopped his train of thought. What was that about? Did he really just say that? Ignoring the under dressed nurses that was continuing to quarrel, Sasuke shrugged off the thought. Naruto with Shikamaru then walked in.

"Oi, Ino-chan. Chouji is looking for you. He said something about getting lunch with him?" Shikamaru raised a lazy brown eyebrow. "And I don't think he's going to appreciate his girlfriend doing that to some rogue-ninja."

Ino gave an icy, blue-eyed glare to the lazy jounin. Ino detangled her arms from the annoyed Uchiha. With a 'hmmph' to the gloating pinkette and a middle finger to the laziest ninja in the village, she strutted out the room to find her husky-bodied boyfriend. Shikamaru sighed and muttered 'what a drag' before following his teammate.

That Yamanaka turned out to be a whore…

His gaze then turned back to the nurse still attached to him. Sakura's emerald eyes then looked at Sasuke hungrily. A thirsty gleam in her eyes made Sasuke grimace in revulsion. Her eyes spewed madness and obsessive adoration everywhere. She looked at him as if he was the Sunday special dinner and she was a starvaing predator, ready to pounce onto her meal at any second.

…but at least she isn't a crazy lunatic obsessed with me.

Naruto snapped Sakura out of her reverie. "Uh, Sakura-chan… We kind of have a mission and Kakashi-sensei and Captain Yamato said to meet up right now." Sakura eerily turned her head towards Naruto with a crazy look in her eyes.

"I'll be there, Naruto. Just give me a second."

Naruto took a step forward to plead. "But Sakura, Kakashi-sensei said—"

"I DON'T GIVE A RAT'S SHIT ABOUT THAT OLD PERVERTED GEEZER. JUST GIVE ME FIVE MINUTES ALONE WITH SASUKE-KUN SO I CAN USE HIS IMMOBILITY AS AN ADVANTAGE!" Sakura lunged at Naruto and grabbed him by the throat with chakra infused grip. She then tossed him out the window as if he was a rag doll.

"AAAAAAHHHH! SAKURAAA-CHAAAAANNN!" Naruto wailed before hearing a thud and few whimpers. Sakura sadistically smiled and turned her attention back to Sasuke who was now sweat dropping.

Okay, she is a lunatic bitch. Damn, I can't do anything either… They might come after me if I kill her…Sasuke put so much effort to make his glare as hard and steely as possible.

"Get. Out. Now. Sakura." Sasuke spat out his venom coated words. He coated the last few words with a special hint of acid. "Or. I. Will. Kill. You."

Sakura not getting a hint grinned wider. "Oh, Sasuke-kun, you're so mean. Don't worry, I'll get you to open up." Sakura began riding up the hem of her skirt purposely as she sat on top of Sasuke's lap. He really, really wanted to shove her away but his muscles were screaming in sore pain.

"SAKURA." A hard, feminine voice shouted. "GET OFF THE PATIENT."

Sakura jumped off of Sasuke as if he had burned her and was viciously trying to pull her skirt down as if to make it longer.

"I-I, my lady, it isn't what it looks like. It's just a misunderstanding—" Sakura flew out the window Naruto was thrown out of not too long ago. A crash was heard followed by a cat sneering followed by an angry shout from an angry man.

"MY CABBAGES!" (Points for the people who knows this reference :D)

What just happened…

Sasuke looked at the female that just struck Sakura square in the cheek. The blonde woman with a very large and heavenly bust withdrew her fist. Sasuke had to admit, she had a nice pair of—

"Uchiha Sasuke," the woman started. "I am Tsunade, the Fifth."

"Ah, Tsunade-sama. I have heard good things about you from my mentor, Orochimaru." Sasuke smirked while Tsunade rose her brow. She put her hands on her hips.

"And what exactly are these good things? Uh… Nevermind. The reason why I'm here is to tell you that you will be discharged in four days. The old geezers and I came to an agreement of letting you back into the village and once again pick up your shinobi duties. You will be given the freedom of privacy but the second I find out that you are plotting to harm the village or any of its people… Well…" She smugly glanced out the window. "You get the picture."

Tsunade turned her heel and left the room with Sasuke's scowl trailing her. Sasuke was doing a lot of glaring today. Normally, he would have his normal stoic plaster and would save his glares only for his idiot Team Taka members and those weren't even that intense and were very rare. This village was just home for all the people that irritated him. Well, the exception of one female Hyuuga.

Home sweet home.

Hinata entered the room of the older Uchiha traitor. She was expecting a still body lying on the bed. She expected him breathing calmly and angel-like. She expected his eyes to be closed. So when she walked in with an awake Itachi, with his body in a sitting position, and his black eyes piercing her white ones, she couldn't hold back a yelp as she dropped her clip board and pen. Her heart felt like it froze in its cavity.

Itachi examined her face, especially her unique eyes. Instantly identifying them as the eyes with the Byakugan, he concluded that his nurse was of the Hyuuga clan.

"Hyuuga-san, is there a problem?" His cool voice was dreamy and full of actual curiosity. If his eyes weren't so freezing cold, Hinata would have melted then and there. Shaking off the chills, she picked up her clip board that was on Itachi's charts of his physical state and what nots.

"N-no… I-I… My h-hand j-just slipped. A-ano… Demo, h-h-how a-are you awake, Uchiha-san? I th-thought Tsunade-sama g-gave y-you sedatives…" Hinata stuttered with a slight blush on her cheeks. She hasn't stuttered this much in years. She felt extremely nervous around the older Uchiha.

"Well, Hyuuga-san, there are a lot of things you do not know about me." Itachi stated. "Also, because my body was trained to defuse any sort of drug that was put into me. This is the longest I've ever been drugged. I take these sedatives were not meant for humans?"

"H-hai. They w-were meant for…l-lions." Itachi rose an eyebrow. It took a lion tranquilizer to take him out for only a day. Itachi impressed himself.

Hinata was inwardly amused of the irony. Sasuke said the same thing when he was awoke not a moment ago. It has been three days since they brought them in to the hospital. Itachi woke up yesterday and was given a sedative as a 'precaution'. The brothers woke up sooner than expected, meaning one of them will soon die. Hinata then gazed bitterly to the ground. She then trudged to the chair next to his bed and sat. Her pen was still in her hand, uncapped, but was not writing anything.

Being the Uchiha genius he was, he noticed the little things his nurse did. The way she looked somewhat entertained after he said what he said and the way her face fell as she thought of something displeasing. The way she trembled under his gaze and the way she timidly dropped her clip board. Itachi was the only one born in the Uchiha clan without the curse of hatred. He inwardly smiled and almost got up and picked it up for her.

Itachi was always been a very compassionate and gentle person, always been as a child. He could have been nearly as compassionate as Hinata. But due to the fact that he was a highly skilled shinobi, it masked his gentleness with an intensely dangerous aura to him.

"Ano… Uchiha-san… I am j-just g-going to check o-on your vitals a-and heal m-more of your d-difficult w-wounds." Itachi nodded in response as he watched the girl get up from her seat to gracefully do her work. The way her fingers ghostly brushed on his flawless skin made him slightly uneasy. The skin that brushed on felt pleasantly warm and he wanted more of this warmth.

"What is your name, Hyuuga-san?" Itachi stated more than asked. Hinata looked up from her work to look into his eyes that were surprisingly soft. Well, softer than the usual stony look. After replacing the bandages, she threw the bloody gauze away and returned next to Itachi, sitting once more.

"Hinata." Both Itachi and Hinata were stunned when they both gave a small but genuine smile. Not wanting to have an awkward moment, Hinata spoke up after recovering from the shock. "You m-may call me 'Hinata-chan' if you wish."

Itachi nodded, with his small smile still intact. He didn't show how shocked he was out of shinobi habit. "And you may call me 'Itachi'. Just 'Itachi'. I am not too big on honorifics, I feel too old as 'Itachi-san' and I feel too young as 'Itachi-kun' and I am only 21." The older Uchiha watched in delight as the little Hyuuga girl chuckled lightly at his lame attempt of having a not-dry humor.

Wow, this S-Ranking criminal that was said to have killed his whole clan made a joke. And Hinata actually found it funny. To Hinata's surprise, Itachi seemed more human than anyone gave him credit for. This made her feel that the decision of saving this 'evil' person was the right choice.

"Well, Itachi I certainly d-do not think it w-would be fair if you used an honorific f-for me then, hmm?" Hinata added. Itachi was getting more and more satisfied as she was stammering less and less.

"How about Hinata-hime?" Itachi smirked again at the dusting of pink that were on her pale cheeks.

"Hime? Demo, Itachi…" Hinata stared down at her hands and her fore-fingers began poking each other. His arm extended to her chin and lifted the direction of her eyes into his, which were only a few inches away.

"Alright then. You are just 'Hinata'. But you look more of a Hinata-hime to me. You look like one anyways." He slyly smiled at her before letting her go. Her face became hotter and darker.

Content, Itachi leaned back on his pillows and began to relax. He closed his eyes for a mere second until he felt Hinata stand from her chair. "Hinata, where are you going?"

"Oh… I-It is lunch time. I was going to get some food for us." Hinata paused. "Do you w-want anything at all…?"

Itachi contemplated for a while. He did not know whether to say no to her or to make her go out of her way to get him some food. Then a horrible lurching noise escaped Itachi's stomach. If he wasn't trained to keep his emotions hidden, he would be beet red by now. With a slight shake of his head, he politely declined the Hyuuga's offer. Realizing that Itachi was stubbornly polite, Hinata put a finger on her lip. After a few seconds of thinking, she snapped her fingers and her eyes brightened in wonderment.

"How about you tell me your favorite food and I will decide whether or not to bring you food?"

"But you will end up buying me food anyways."

"How do you know this? Isn't a ninja supposed to analyze all possible outcomes? It seems to me that you may be underestimating me, Itachi-san ."

Itachi was caught off guard with that one. He scrunched his brows in deep thought. Sighing in defeat, he tilted his head to the side and ran a hand through his charcoal hair.

"…onigiri and cabbages."

Hinata was walking out of the hospital and was greeted with fresh air and the warmth of the sun. She inhaled and exhaled. She then went ninja mode and jumped from roof to roof on her way to the Hyuuga compound. Her speed was blinding and you would only know that she was there because of the wind she carried. Hinata skidded to a stop as she found the man she was looking for.

"Sir!" Hinata quickly walked towards the old man clad in green attire with a beat up cart. She politely introduced herself. "Hello, I am Hyuuga Hinata and I am interested in buying a head of cabbage."

"Oh, hello, there young lady. I am very sorry, but I do not have cabbages at the moment. I have to wait until next week until people of the Earth Kingdom come and deliver my cabbages…" The old man said sadly.

"What happened to the cabbages, sir?"

"A girl with pink hair landed in it! SHE DESTROYED MY CABBAGES!" He yelled at Hinata and gestured into the cart. Hinata peeked at the 'destroyed cabbages'. The old man wasn't lying, the cabbages were literally ripped apart.

"I'm terribly sorry, sir. I hope you get your cabbages soon. Good bye!"

(I'm sorry but I just HAD to put him in there… Kudos to the people to figure out the reference from!)

The Hyuuga girl then sped off to the direction of her home. Within three minutes she was leaping over the gate of her home and was now taking her sandals of to walk inside her house. Hyuuga branch members greeted her kindly and she returned them. Walking into the kitchen of her house, she greeted her cook.

Gathering all things necessary, she began preparing lunch.

-Page Break-

Itachi squinted at the window outside, trying to focus his blurred vision on a bird perched on a tree that was ten or twenty yards away from the glass barrier. His vein was now visible on his forehead. The strain on his eyes was causing great pain to spread throughout his body, mainly his lungs. In return of straining his eyes so much, a thunderous head ache conquered his brain cavity. He immediately placed one hand on his chest and one hand on his mouth. Itachi could feel the blood traveling from his lungs as he coughed up the crimson mucus into his hand. Sweat beaded his tired face. Feeling weak, he dropped his bloody hands on his lap and reclined a little bit, still remained in a sitting position.

Itachi took a gander at himself and nearly scoffed with disgust. He was sported in only a black pair of shorts. The hair that was usually held in a loose pony tail was down, resembling his mother. His whole torso was bandaged and some blood seeped through the gauze. His violent coughing fit must have opened them up again. His legs seemed to be fine but they look inhumanely pale and unhealthy. He still seemed fit enough to walk in the future but as of now he looked and felt like utter shit. The headache didn't seem to want to go away. His eyes feel like they were being poured bleach on. He threw his hands to his mouth and spiked up more blood in them just in time for Hinata to walk in with a bag in hand.

Panicking, Hinata immediately dropped the bag, rushed to Itachi's side, and caught some of the blood into her own pale hands. She laid a warm hand behind his neck as he continued to cough up blood into his and the Hyuuga's hand. Hinata pushed all of her chakra into the hand behind Itachi's neck, trying to soothe his pain. More blood leaked from her hand as Itachi's coughing did not cease, but she did not give up. She place her hand lower onto his back and concentrated.

"It's alright, Itachi. You're going to be alright." Hinata cooed, trying to comfort the young man. Itachi felt as if his whole body was imploding. His lungs felt like they were crushing each other, the writhing pain was too much, even for Itachi. He tried to suppress the tears that were struggling out of his tear ducts, which obviously hasn't been used for years. Hot streams of them fell down his face as he felt like he was gagging. The lurch in his stomach began to grow; ready to release a load of vomit into Hinata's awaiting hands. This was the worst coughing fit he's had.

The vomiting never came. Instead, came a soothing feeling from his back spread through his spine and into his lungs. The sharp pain began to dull as the itch in his throat was satisfied. Although the pain subsided, his lungs still felt constricted. His throat was coarse and dry. His hands, as well as Hinata's, bed sheets, shorts, and bandages were covered in crimson liquid. His face was a mixture of his sweat, blood, and tears. His long pitch black hair stuck to his clammy back and face. Spitting out what's left of the blood in his mouth into his hand he felt his body tremble and weaken. Not even realizing it, his body collapsed onto the stained sheets, his eyes fluttering shut. He felt a warm hand on his cheek and cool, damp something rub against his face, the area where said thing kneaded into felt refreshed. A soft voice whispered to him.

"You're alright now, Itachi."

Before he was engulfed in unconsciousness, he sufficed a word.

"Hinata…"

And came the darkness.

Author's Notes: Uh oh, seems like both Uchihas are taking a liking to Hinata wink wink hehehe. And I'm not trying to have Itachi OOC, I'm just depicted how he would be with his compassionate side. Don't worry, Badass Itachi is still here. Poor Itachi though… dying and stuff. Please tell me how it is! Review! I love you all. :D

Also, the man yelling 'MY CABBAGES' is the old man always carrying around a cart full of cabbages from Avatar: the Last Airbender. Yay for those who understood the reference! I read that Itachi's favorite food was cabbages and immediately thought of the old man hehe. Okay, bye!
