If I followed you home, would you keep me?

Naruto sat up in his bed, yawning and stretching himself, smile already shining on his face alongside with sun rays, coming in through half-shut blinds. His sleepy, dark blue gaze travelled down to the body, lying motionless by his side. The happy smile changed into satisfied and lustful one. A blue-haired woman slept peacefully, her breasts (what catches Naruto's eyes every morning), half uncovered and heaving slowly and the entirety of her body under slight sheath. Naruto giggled sheepishly. Man, this is better than any alarm clock, I tell ya. Naruto slipped from under his sheath after giving a short peak on a cheek to the sleeping beauty, and wandered off to the kitchen without bothering to put something on.
"Morning coffee, I solute you in all your hot and smelly glory. And when you are along side with 5-minute-noddle soup, your absolute divinity is absolutely perfect." Naruto chanted while waiting for the machine to boil his so lovable coffee and the fast soup to be ready. This day is going to be one of those completely white days, I can just smell it. Naruto thought happily. Wonder if Sasuke feels the same divine whiteness this morning…

Sasuke sat at the edge of his bed for quite a while before being able to stand up: the night sleep he was so wishing for didn't prove to be enough. And all the fault went to…
That blasted Sakura, or whatever her name was. Came in, roaming in front of my car and now I have to harbor her. Holly shit. Life sucks balls even more. Well, there are two good things that will come and already came out of today: I'll bring that woman to the hospital and then dispose of her. That's the first. The second is: I'm not as retarded as I thought I already am. No wet dreams.
Uchiha stood up and went straight to the shower, cause the thoughts about being retarded automatically led to thoughts of the woman downstairs.
Fifteen minutes later (there were a lot of unholy thoughts that needed to be scrubbed. So, is a halo on my head shining brighter now?) Sasuke went downstairs with full outfit for today's work (yeah, not-very-tight jeans and black jumper does miracles in deceiving stupid patients I don't really want to see) and marched straight to the couch in front of the already gone off fireplace. What he found there was peacefully sleeping, pink-haired woman and a black cat, comforting himself on her (perfect for wanting to touch) belly. When Sasuke approached the couch, the cat lifted his head up and yawned at his owner (roommate, I tell you), then stood up and stretched himself, front paws ramming into Sakura's large breasts.
"Jules, you lucky bastard" Sasuke smirked at his cat's actions. The woman moved and lazily opened her eyes.
"Morning" she whispered and also yawned, her hand mechanically brushing through a black, silky fur of Jules. He purred pleasingly.
"Morning to you too" Sasuke answered unpleasantly "now that you're done flirting with my cat, hurry up and get dressed. We're going to the hospital" Sakura instantly sat up, holding the blanket tightly to her naked body.
"Why?" then it hit her "no, rather, which one?"
"Konoha" Sasuke raised an eyebrow "why do you care?"
"Erm, it's nothing. One of my friends is working there too"
"Hilarious" Sasuke noted ironically "now move it" and he disappeared to the kitchen with a whirl on his heel.
"Hmp. Grumpy" Sakura sighed and stood up, still wrapped into blanket, taking her already dry clothes from the fireplace's grid. Yeah, I know that hospital. Tsunade is working there too. She might be able to help me with something. Although I haven't seen her in quite a while. Hah, I'll just have to remind her some good old days at the bar, hooking guys up.

Temari strode into an office, where Karin was just making herself another cup of coffee. The red-haired woman had her glasses off and her under-eyes were shining with reddish whites.
"So, how's the patient?" Karin asked with no particular interest.
"Pain killers are working, but the moment they cease to, the guy's in pain"
"So, it's not just a simple inflammation?" Karin sat down and drank the coffee. Temari threw the file in front of her and took her advantage of the coffee machine.
"Not a renal calculus either" Temari said in tired and bored tone.
"Think Sasuke will be interested in this?"
"Well, since his range of being interested in particularly anything equals to zero degrees…" Temari sighed and heavily sat on the chair "I don't know"
The window door opened again and Shikamaru came in, yawning in the manner of breaking his jaw.
"Will you wake yourself up, or I gotta do it?" Temari asked in ironic tone. Her eyes, however, indicated anger pushing the cork out.
"Actually, I'd prefer you do that" Shikamaru yawned once again, but followed the cleavage of Temari move as she leaned onto the table.
"Not in front of me" Karin protested, blocking herself with a newspaper "go get yourselves a room"
"That's a good idea" Temari shot a grin with Shikamaru-issuing frown above the lip.
The next moment Karin heard two pairs of steps, rushing out of the office. She sighed. And I meant that as a joke. She looked at the watch. They better hurry it up. Mr. Grumpy Morning Face will soon be here.

Sasuke paraded in through the front entrance and went straight to the administrator to sign the entrance sheet. Sakura was walking by his side, her body now conveniently covered by a pair of jeans and a dark blue sweater. Her old, stickers-full luggage floated in her left hand.
"So, you're going to examine me, or what?" she asked as they stopped in front of the reception desk.
"Yeah" Sasuke said, not really paying attention: his complicated, non-readable signature demanded more attention than the entire environment would ever demand "you just sign in and go to…whichever examine room they tell you to" he shot her the trademark smirk "I'll do the quick getting-rid-of part"
"What was that?!" Sakura narrowed her eyes at him.
"Oh, sorry for not trying to pretend I actually like your pink presence"
I don't even need that. One look is WAY more than enough.
"You're such an ass" Sakura waved him aside with the pen she picked up to sign under documentary form "I wonder how many people actually bare with you"
"Well, they don't really have a choice, do they?" Sasuke was about to strode off to the examine room, but something else caught his attention…or rather someone.
I told you, didn't I? YES, I did! This is going to be a hell's ass of a day. Just when I was about to please myself with self-indulgent disposure of an unwanted human being, another human being (if that's the word to describe…oh, I actually have a better alternative: halfwit gorilla, with mental disorientation and testosterone over-doze) shows up first thing in the morning, begging for me to kick him out. Bliss, this is such a bliss. NOT!
"Itachi" Sasuke practically growled to his brother, dressed in an elegant black suit and carrying black leather case "let me guess why you came here first thing in the morning"
"Besides I want to annoy you…I want to annoy you" Itachi answered his little brother's deductions without even hearing them,
"Right, if there's nothing more you need, I'd appreciate you leaving. Your Itachi's Trademark Retarded-ness might be contagious and these people are already sick"
"Very funny, little brother, but get out of my way. I need to see Tsunade"
"Oh, yeah. I think I saw her at the Versace shop just few days ago" Sasuke rolled eyes "I bet from anything you'll have fun staring at her boobs, pouring out of that new blouse"
"Watch it, Uchiha" a voice, Sasuke might start to hate reached the entire situation "you have the fattest ass mouth I've ever met" Sakura has her arms crossed on her chest, angry green looking sparkling on her face.
"Why, little brother, I didn't know women this pretty were actually nearer to you than a kilometer away" Itachi instantly directed all his muscular attention to the pink-haired woman (mistake, rather her lower part from head).
"Here we go" Sasuke rolled eyes in annoyance, but couldn't stop the unexplainable anger boiling inside his veins the moment Itachi flashed Sakura that seductive, cool smile (half-teeth, a bit one-sided of the lip) he always used to hook girls up.
"What is your name, beauty?" he asked in suddenly changed, deep voice. Sakura couldn't help herself from blushing.
Geez, that smile…it's so…so…filling. How could he smile this way? It should be a crime for a guy to smile this nicely. Oh, shit, I'm blushing now, like a teenager! Damn! No wonder they're brothers: two gods and both around me…gosh, I'm lucky.
"Sakura Haruno" the woman smiled back, pursing her lips a little, small, flirtatious smile playing on them "I assume you're…Itachi Uchiha"
"Quite the same" Itachi bowed a little, but his gaze didn't tear off from Sakura's eyes for a single second "can I ask you why you're here? Is there something wrong with your health?"
Oh, PLEASE! Now he's pretending he CARES what's wrong with her! And she's so totally falling for it! Excuse me while I vomit in my toilet. Can't stand this! Then again, I could just toss her to Itachi's sexual will (he needs a lot of sex toys, I tell you. I even began to doubt us, being siblings: his testosterone is off the charts! I wonder how many girlfriends he actually had.) and have no problems whatsoever with the oh-so-bright future of my life. But no, I might get one patient on my list with death issue (I'm not exactly able to heal dead people.)
"Alright, I really do love to watch you two cooing, but I suppose you got enough for one day" Sasuke interfered into the conversation, where Itachi was about to get Sakura out for a dinner "you can go to Tsunade's boobs…that is, whatever you want with, or on her"
"Your sense of humor disserves a monument, Sasuke" Itachi sighed and (to Sasuke's greatest disgust) kissed Sakura's hand like a true gentleman (AS IF!!) "glad to meet you, Ms. Haruno"
"Sakura will be just fine" the woman winked him seductively. Sasuke slapped his forehead.
"Alright, you" he showed at Sakura "to the examine room…" he looked down at the file he was holding for some reason "one. Now!" Sakura nodded, but watched Itachi waling away for some time, then went straight to the designated room.
"Your brother seems nice" she said few minutes later, when Sakura was sitting on a multi-task chair in the examine room.
"No, he's not" Sasuke retorted shortly and checked her mouth and throat "he's a sore looser, who doesn't give a crap about others"
"Oh, and I suppose you give a crap about others" Sakura noted ironically when Sasuke was checking her eye pupils.
"That's why I'm a doctor" he smirked to her "unzip" he waved stethoscope in front of her face. Sakura gave him a grin and unzipped her sweater with one graceful move…only to reveal large, full breasts to the cold metal of the stethoscope. The woman watched Sasuke's serious face when he was listening to her heartbeat and couldn't help but smile. He's so sexy when he concentrates like this. I'd much like to have him examining me more often. Then again, I could just accept Itachi's invitation for a dinner. Heh, heh, this is getting interesting. Actually, I love the score: if I can't have one Uchiha, I just might as well take the other one.
"Alright, you look fine as far as I can tell. Zip it up" Sasuke turned around and reached for a drawer with needles "I hope you're not afraid of shots"
"No" Sakura slowly zipped her sweater up "why give it anyway?"
"Antiviral medicine" Sasuke showed to the needle, full of transparent liquid "to cover all of those you-never-know-s" he lifted her sleeve, brushed the skin with wet cotton and stabbed the needle to the skin.
"Auch" Sakura breathed out silently, but before she knew it, the sting was over.
"You're free to go"
"Thanks" Sakura said silently.
"Yeah, whatever, now get going. I have a serious patient upstairs and a dozen of unwanted downstairs" Sasuke collected his backpack "if I hurry, I'll just avoid them"
"And you call yourself a doctor?" Sakura scoffed as they were walking out the examine room "you're not even wearing a smock"
"Oh, yeah, excuse my stupid mania for self-comfort" Sasuke rolled eyes as they stopped in the crossroad of hallways "go to wherever you need to go. I gotta run to save my ass from the all mighty salary giver"
"Meaning Tsunade?"
"Exactly" Sasuke shot her a smirk before quickly waking to the elevator.
"Asshole, seriously" and Sakura turned to the other way of the hallway. Tsunade, here I come.
-x-
Sasuke walked into his office to only find Karin sitting by a large table, drinking coffee and reading newspaper.
"Seems too quiet here. Where are those two?" he asked, tossing his bag on the chair and walking right to the coffee machine.
"Three guesses where" Karin said, not lifting her eyes from the article "you seem early today" she however said "it's not even ten o'clock"
"I had some disposure to do" Uchiha quickly explained "anyway, that's not worth any importance. How's the patient?"
"Still no change. Constant pain, anti-inflammation meds aren't working at all. Not renal calculus either"
"Toxic screen?" Sasuke took an X-ray photo and put in on a flash board.
"Positive, but it's all because of kidney malfunctioning. He's negative for the heavy metals that could've caused this though"
"Family history?"
"Well" Karin opened the file with a sigh "the only thing really worth attention is that his grandmother had diabetes. Other than that, it's nothing relevant"
"Hn. Sounds…"
"Interesting?' Karin asked in hopeful voice.
"Boring" Sasuke turned away from the X-ray and gulped some coffee "go do the MRI"
"What should I look for?"
"A cloth in the main artery that leads to his kidneys. I'll go and find those two to do something useful" he turned around to leave.
"Hey, but that's meddling in their privacy, you know" Karin followed him.
"Look who's talking" Sasuke smirked to Karin in the hallway "you let people meddle in your privacy all the time" he lowered his eyes to the black mini-skirt Karin was wearing under the smock.
"As if you care" Karin rolled her eyes.
"You're right, I don't" Sasuke shrugged "but it is hard to concentrate when you roam around with those legs of yours"
"Get some sex, Sasuke" Karin waved him aside and turned around to walk away "you obviously need it"
Right. And you would gladly apply. Sasuke thought while pressing his ear to the locked door to the cubbyhole, which recently only had been serving to the staff for some quickies. Uchiha heard what he wanted: a slight, muted moan of a woman at the highest point of orgasm. Here they are. Sasuke sighed and knocked: the moaning stopped. The doctor leaned against the wall, waiting for the door to burst open. And so it did.
"You do have a boundary issue, don't you?" Shikamaru complained, buttoning up his shirt.
"Right. I'm not the one, having sex in the middle of the work" Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Well, if you haven't noticed, we haven't left the hospital for about three full days. That's a drag, you know"
"Relax" Sasuke pushed himself away from the wall and walked back to the office "go prepare some blood thinners, cause you're about to get the results of a blood cloth"
"It's about the kidney patient?" Temari asked, suddenly jumped out of the cubbyhole.
"You got that right"
-x-
"So I see" Tsunade said, sitting behind the large desk, fingers folded in front of her lips.
"Yep, that's the story" Sakura nodded, sitting in the chair in front of her.
"So" Tsunade leaned back and smirked to the woman in front of her "which one you like more?"
"Both of them are nice" Sakura smirked back "but I gotta admit, Sasuke is an ass sometimes"
"You mean all the times" Tsunade corrected. She stood up and went to the window behind the high-backed chair "I could try helping you out in retrieving your inheritance. I know few influential lawyers at a court. It shouldn't be much of a problem"
"Thank you, Tsunade" Sakura said in relieved tone "I'll be able to get back to the normal life"
"Yeah, you need that" Tsunade smiled at her with light-brown gaze "can't let a talent like you die after all" the woman sat back to the chair "where are you staying, by the way?"
"Nowhere" Sakura sighed "I was lucky that Sasuke picked me up and took me in. But I doubt he will do the thing again"
Sure he won't. He was trying to get rid of me first thing in the morning. Asshole. And he didn't even want to hear what happened to me. At least his brother has some manners.
But her pessimistic thoughts were suddenly turned to optimistic ones by Tsunade's all-knowing, shrewd grin. She reached for the drawer and pulled out a single key.
"I don't think you should ask his permission anyway"
"But…that's sort of barging into the house, isn't it?" Sakura raised an eyebrow.
"Not exactly. You will have a key after all. Sorry, but I can't take you in for now. I have…other plans"
"About Jiraya" Sakura stated matter-of-factly and sighed, ignoring a sudden rosy blush on Tsunade's cheeks (Oh, for God's sake, we all know how head over heels you both are about each other. And you're hiding it VERY poorly. Even IF I'd stay with her, I seriously doubt it will be pleasurable to listen to the screams of orgasm behind the wall.).
"Well" Sakura sighed and reached for the key "I suppose I can get used to the couch"
"Good. Now I know you're safe. Sort of"
"What do you mean, sort of?"
-x-
Later the same night…
Sasuke was driving home, high spirits of having peaceful, empty home whirling around in his head.
However…
"What the hell?" he cursed as he saw the lights in his house's first floor all on. I didn't leave them on, did I? He drove into the garage (auto-opened gate…miracle of American, easy going life) and went straight to the door.
When he got inside (door was unlocked) the music of Led Zeppelin reached his ears. Who is going to die now?
"You" Sasuke breathed out with anger the moment he saw Sakura sitting on his couch, drinking his expensive vine, listening to his so beloved music and making herself comfortable in his house "what the hell are you doing here?"
"Staying with you. DUH!"
"I told you, I'd give you medical help, not social donation"
"Well, but I'm quite alright here" she winked to him. Sasuke grated his teeth (not only because of anger, but because of the little black mini-dress (TOO mini) Sakura was wearing).
"Go someplace and die. I don't care. Just kick yourself out of here" Sasuke ordered and tossed his backpack to the corner.
"Sorry. Your superior said that if you kick me out, she will put you through hell" Sakura shrugged shoulders and took another sip of vine. Sasuke inhaled deeply and exhaled. Tsunade, you bitch. Wait until tomorrow morning.
This is so so bad. I should've tossed her to Itachi. Both of them.
"So, will you let me stay?" Sakura smirked, leaned onto couch's back.
"Like I have a choice" Sasuke hissed and stormed to the kitchen. Sakura let out a joyful laugh and sipped some vine.
I win!
