What's that feeling? Ugh, it felt like someone was taking a hammer and pounding against his forehead. It was probably Tobi, always giving him head aches. Damn that stupid ninja! He was always constantly getting on his nerves, now he wanted to play games and mess with him. Well think again! Deidara's blue hue flashed open, quickly looking about the area for any signs of the annoying masked nin. But wait, he wasn't in his cold, damp Akatsuki quarters. Where was he?! The room around him was made up of cream colored walls, a window was open to his right, and an annoying beeping sound was to his left. Where the fuck was he?!

"Hnn...!"

Deidara groaned as he lifted himself up, to notice that a wire was connected to the inside of his elbow. That was making that stupid beeping sound! With a yank of the wire it came loose from being buried in his skin by a needle. The beeping sound became even more annoying as it was just a long, straight annoying sound.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.....

A rush of ANBU came into the room which made him jump and instintively reach for the pouch at his right side, but there was no pouch. Instead of touching the rough texture of his pouch, he touched a thin, soft type of clothing. Wait! Where was his clothes, his cloak, and his pouch?! His blue hues widened in disbelief as he also noticed that his legs were chained to the rails of the bed he was lying in. Oh hell no! He had been captured! The blonde growled as he reached towards the chains at his ankles to be stopped by a hand. Following the hand up to the face that it belonged to only produced a rather ugly glare from him. He knew who this woman was, she was known all throughout the Fire country.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Her voice was deep and it held much authority in it. Her deep brown orbs stared him down as he glared at back her. Tsunade was her name. She was the Hokage of the Leaf village and that could only mean one thing. He was stuck in the Leaf village with not one thing to help him get out. His mission had turned out to be a failure.

----------

First she was told she could go and take the rest of the day off, now she had been told to go to the hospital! How could this be happening?! All she wanted to do was curl up in bed and sleep the rest of the day away, most likely what Naruto was doing right now. Oh how she envied that blonde! After team Kakashi had returned from the so called "mission" with a surprise of an Akatsuki's body, they were all told to take the rest of the day off and the first thing she did was go home and take a nice hot shower and just as she was about to place a pot of tea on the stove she got word from an ANBU officer that she was needed at the hospital and that it was an emergency. And that is how she found herself walking up the stairs that lead into the hospitals front doors. The lobby was cold, as usual, and the girl behind the counter gave her a warm smile as she walked through the doors.

"Afternoon, Miss Haruno. Tsuande told me to tell you to report to room 406 right away. She should be up there."

"Thank you."

Sakura returned and obviously fake smile back towards the girl as she moved towards the elevator, pressing the up button. Room 406, eh? That was on the highest floor, usually those rooms weren't used unless they were holding extremely ill patients. Wonder who could need her attention?

DING!

The doors slid open and a few visitors piled out and past her as she climbed in and pressed the button for floor 4. The sound of the cheesy elevator music played in the background as she tried to think of what sort of epidemic illness could be spreading around and how she would cure it. She was after all known as the best medical kunoichi around, next to Tsunade that is. With both of them working on it she could hopefully have it cured in time for dinner, that way she wouldn't have to spend all night at the hospital. A true smile came to her lips as her hopes were lifted.

DING!

And as soon as that smile had come, it left. Just as the doors slid open she could hear the voices of many frantic nurses and ANBU running about.

"Get the anesthetic!" "Were going to need more chains." "Tsunade's getting impatient!" "Hurry!"

Sakura walked out of the elevator calmly and moved out of the way as a rush of ANBU went flying by her. What in the world could possibly be going on?! Was this illness that bad? And why would they need chains? Tsunade being impatient was definitely nothing new, but this was still starting to bug her. Who where they dealing with, or more like what?

"I want those tongues cut out from his hands!"

Tsunade yelled as she came barreling out from room 406. Tongues in hands? Wait a minute! She couldn't mean...? Sakura quickly made her way over towards room 406 where she peeked in to see quite a scene playing out. The blonde Akatsuki member whom they had caught only moments ago was throwing a tantrum and yelling at a nurse who was trying to get near him. He would stick his tongue out at her like a small child and so would the mouths on his hands, which freaked both her and the nurse out. Gross! Mouths on hands? Who ever heard of that kind of kekke genkai? Either way it was freaky. With a sigh of agitation, Sakura opened the door all they way and walked into the room.

"I don't give a shit! Let me outta here or I'll blow your brains out, yeah!"

"Sir, I need you to stay still. Your wound it reopening."

"Didn't you just hear me? I don't care! Get that needle away from me!"

The nurse was right too. A crimson stain was staining the white bandage that wrapped around his head and some was even leaking out and dripping down his cheek. What a handful this one was. He was acting like a child! If he lost enough blood he could die. Sakura rolled her eyes as she moved more towards him, which somehow caught his attention.

"You! OW!"

He yelped as the nurse had caught his distraction as a time to get the needle into the inside of his elbow. He tried to yank it out, but the nurse had used a bit of chakra to infuse it into him, producing more yelps as he kept trying to rip it out.

"Stop it, or your going to hurt yourself."

"Why do you care for my well-being? Just go away! I don't need you, yeah! I don't need any of you!"

Sakura grimaced as she glared him down. Boy he needed an attitude adjustment! Walking over to the end of his bed, Sakura grabbed the clipboard that was hanging off the end and quickly scanned it. His name was Deidara and he was originally from Iwagakure. He was 19 years of, from what they could tell, and he was involved with Akatsuki. So he was 19 and he was acting like a 2 year old?

"You had quite a blow to the head."

"Yeah? Blame your stupid kyuubi friend!"

He growled out as the mouths on his right hand tried to nibble through the plastic wire that was connected to the inside of his elbow. Again, freaky much?

"Stop that. Those wires are pumping anesthetic into you. Without that you would be feeling much worse pain."

Deidara stopped what he was doing to turn his bright blue hue onto the pink haired kunoichi at the end of his bed. His eye narrowed as he dropped the wire and glared daggers her way. What did she say? She was just making sure he didn't hurt himself more than he should be. Yes he was an Akatsuki member and her enemy, and sure she hated him with every fiber in her body, but she was taught to heal people that were left in her care and right now she was in her care.

"Look, if you stop trying to pull out those wires you can be let out of here earlier and-"

"And what? Be placed in a cell where I'm left to rot forever unless your ANBU leaders want information from me, yeah?"

His statement hit her quite hard. For the most part he was right. Once he was back to full health he would be placed under heavy guard in the Konoha prison where he would undergo interrogation from Ibiki. Then she would probably be sent down to heal the worst of his wound so that he wouldn't die and then the interrogations would start all over again. Either way he was screwed.

"That's what I thought."

His voice was more calm and quiet as he glared at her one more time before turning his head to the right to stare out the window. The sun was high in the sky and the sound of kids laughing and running about could be heard outside. To her it sounded like a lovely day, but to him it probably sounded all new. For an instant she almost felt bad for him, until he spoke again.

"This place sucks, yeah!"

Sakura frowned at his statement and watched as he went back to trying to get the wires out. Usually she didn't give up on patients, no wait, she never gave up on patients, but he was a different story. Sakura placed the clip board back onto the end of the bed and calmly walked out of the room with the yelping male. Why did Tsunade make her do this?

----------

"Because I want you to be in charge of him."

Well her question was answered, but why her?

"Why can't you just keep him locked up like all the rest of the criminals?!"

Sakura pouted as she stood in front of Tsunade's desk. They had both left the hospital after pumping enough drugs into the Akatsuki member to knock out a horse. He would definitely be out for the rest of the day.

"I alredy know that we won't be getting any information out of him if we just locked him up. So I devised a new way to go at it. If keep track of him and make sure he doesn't run off and such, I'm sure he will soon confess some of the Akatsuki secrets to you."

"So wait, are you saying you want me to practically become friends with that jerk?!"

"Practically, yes."

Tsunade smiled at her shocked student. How could she want such a thing? Becoming friends with an enemy?! Was she mad?! Even if it was like a mission, she still would never even let that man come any closer to her than she wanted.

"It's only until we get some information out of him."

"That could take months, years! Tsunade-sama, your asking for the inevitable. Please, just lock him up and-"

"No, Sakura, I already made this clear with the council. They think it would be perfect."

"What if he comes after me?!"

"He won't be around any weapons or anything that can be used to his advantage. Also we will put this little braclet on him to cut off all his chakra flow."

Tsunade produced a small silver braclet in front of Sakura. It didn't look at all effective, but when Sakura picked it up she noticed that it was powerful since she felt herself grow weak in the knees from a bit of chakra being sucked out of her.

"Where did you get this?"

"That's not the problem. I want you to put it on him when you go back to the hospital tonight and tomorrow you can show him around a bit since I'm sure he'll be fine to get up and walk around."

"Wait, you want me to go back tonight? But Tsunade I-"

"I don't want excuses, Sakura, I want results."

With a groan and a bow to the blonde woman, Sakura had left her office with the braclet in the pack on her back. It seemed like her day just kept getting worse. At least the day was coming to an end though, but what could tomorrow's day bring?
