So, how is your opinion of this fan fiction
Wow! I LOVE feedback! Thanks so much! If you haven't guessed, I enjoy the relationship between Sakura and Tsunade. They seem like they'd think of each other as daughter and mother, or at least sister to sister (much older sister of course, like in her fifties). Thanks
Chapter 3: All in a Days Work
ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Sasuke walked into the hospital by himself. Well, sort of. Naruto was making out with Hinata behind a tall bush and the Uchiha was not inclined to wait. He moved silently to the front desk, ignored the receptionists whose fingers were flying over the keys on their computers, and looked at the directory.
He skimmed it over and found what he was looking for.
Dr. S. Haruno room 124
He turned and walked down one of the halls, his steps silent by nature and habit. The halls were severely bright and spotlessly clean. The green tiled floors were waxed religiously and smelled of lemon sanitizer. God, he already hated his sentence.
Room 124, Senior Doctor S. Haruno.
Sasuke opened the door quietly and stepped in without any noise at all. He noticed it had comfortable touches; plush brown chairs, red walls, and it was filling with little knick knacks here and there. He saw on the walls awards for her Chakra control, and her healing abilities, her rank as Jounin, and her promotion to Senior Doctor. He was slightly impressed, but he was not going to admit that weak little Sakura Haruno, with the killer body-
NO!
He had no idea where the thoughts were coming from, but he didn't like it…or so he told himself.
He'd felt her chakra in the adjacent room but she hadn't heard him come in, so he turned and walked through the other door, expecting her to launch onto him now that they were alone. He shuttered.
But she said nothing. In fact, she was asleep. He looked over and saw her with her head down and coffee cold.
Sasuke stepped forward and watched her; she looked exhausted. The skin under her eyes was dark though she'd tried to conceal it with makeup and the position she was in looked uncomfortable leading him to believe she'd fallen asleep instantly. He felt his hand tingle with the urge to brush away a strand of pink hair that had fallen over her face, but he had better self-control than that.
However, he did sit on the edge of her desk. Once he did, Sakura started and jumped up from her chair. "What the hell?!" she screamed, as she chucked a paper weight at him. He caught it and set it back down on the desk.
"What the hell, Sasuke?!" she snapped. "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"No need to. You were snoring like a rhino so I figured you'd wake yourself up." Which was a lie, but the way her eyes widened with fury made him glad he provoked her.
It was clear she was holding her temper in check as she walked around the desk and stopped in front of him.
"Why did you decide to come back so suddenly?" she asked.
"Itachi is dead." he said simply.
"Oh!" she exclaimed sarcastically, as if it answered all her questions; it made him sneer. "Well by all means I'm glad you just decided to come walking back into our lives when, oh yeah, we wanted you back years ago!"
He was standing now and her eyes met his chest so she had to look up, way up, to stare back into his eyes. Damn my shortness!
"So why did you come back, Uchiha?" she continued, not noticing his clenched fists. "Did you come back because you were all done with your own selfish mission? Your own special training? Which, by the way, lead to huge trouble that almost killed so many of us!?" She knew she was raving and ranting but damn if it didn't feel good to wail on him.
She finally came to what she really wanted out. To prove something once and for all; she didn't want him. "And I knew you were just waiting for me to fall to your feet and kiss the ground you walk on," she said, enjoying the way he ground his teeth with anger. "You were sure I hadn't changed, well guess what!" she snapped and finally poked his chest.
"You couldn't handle me now."
She felt she'd made a victory as she made to swiftly saunter around him out of the room, proudly making an exit, but he grabbed her by the arms and pressed her hard against the wall. It emitted a gasp of shock from her as Sasuke pinned her.
One of her legs had become wrapped around his hip in either encouragement or defense; she didn't know. She did know she was slightly scared of what he might do.
His Sharingan was activated, making some dangerous part of her excited and she wanted to die of inner embarrassment.
Why did he have a hold on her still? She knew she didn't want him. However, her body and soul needed him. She would have to have him, if just for an hour or two, or she would be trapped by him forever.
Sasuke wondered why she could make him so angry, so god damned passionate that he lost his temper and his emotions. "You still talk too much, Sakura." He hissed and watched her swift grin.
"You're still an asshole." She lifted her knee, loaded with her chakra and rammed him into the opposite wall.
Sasuke lifted himself and leaned against the wall grabbed his rib where she'd hit him and cringed in pain. Shit…
When Sakura looked at him, face flushed and eyes blazing, Sasuke was hit with the most intense, most painful pang of lust and desire he'd ever experienced. He wanted her moaning his name while he dominantly held her beneath him.
The thoughts were too intense and he had to crouch, unfortunately, to hide his swiftly tightening pants.
"You better think twice before trying to cage me in like that again, Sasuke." She snarled and went straight for her coffee.
He watched her as she chugged the full cup and set it on her desk. She ran a hand over her messy hair and tightened the short ponytail. "Lets go." She said shortly.
He followed her into the adjacent room where he'd first entered from and she pointed to the desk in there. "That's where you'll be filing and possibly researching jutsu for medicinal purposes." She pointed to the ancient computer and shrugged.
"I doubt you've ever used a computer before, so I'm sorry you have to fight with that piece of junk. I don't know how Hinata could be so patient with it. I'll have to put in a request for a new one."
Sasuke listened to her, not wanted to be told again. It was embarrassing enough to have Sakura Haruno as his superior when years ago she had been at his side and his beck and call. She might have jumped into a freezing river if he'd told her to. And if she had been back then the way she was now, he thought as he watched her slap the monitor of old computer viciously, she would have told him to fuck off.
"God damned, shitty piece of junk!" she snarled and punched the glass screen. It buzzed angrily at her and she slammed down the power key to shut it off. "Fucking piece of crap." She mumbled and stood straight. "Looks like I'll have to get one sooner than expected." she said.
He followed her out of the room and she steered into another that smelled terrible; not like death or a fart, as Naruto would say, but of chemicals.
"This is where we keep all the sanitizing chemicals that we need everyday. You'll see some intense shit in this hospital, so don't go having a weak stomach. Which I doubt you've ever had." She added.
Sasuke said nothing, just obeyed. The sooner he did well, the sooner he'd have a real mission. Not sit back and get fat while checking people's pulses and using chakra to heal little boo boos.
She handed him a bundle of clothes that were the worst shade of blue-green he'd ever seen; a smock? A nurse's smock? What the hell!?
"I am not wearing this." He snapped.
Sakura looked at him and sighed. "It's only during procedures, surgeries and civilian appointments. You can wear it over your clothes if you want; and I'd recommend it."
He scowled and looked back down at it. What had he done to deserve this? Oh, yeah, attacked his fellow ninja, betrayed his best friend and knocked out an innocent girl. But when he looked up at formidable woman who that girl had turned into, he felt he'd really screwed up. That woman might have been his had he taken more care.
"You need to put that on. We've got an appointment in the Maternity ward."
Wait, a pregnant woman? Sasuke looked up and said plainly, "No."
She looked at him with a wide grin. "Oh, yes."
Sasuke tried to look manly as he wore the stupid nurse's smock. He watched, slightly interested, as Sakura held a little device over six month pregnant woman's belly. The oil looked gross to him, but he supposed it was a little different seeing as he wasn't the father.
Speaking of, the man was being clutched in a death grip by the young mother and he didn't seem to be minding. In fact, he was gazing at the TV monitor like a zombie, hoping for a glimpse of his child.
Sakura moved it over the sides first, patiently, and then she found it. "There we are!" she said and suppressed a giggle as the young father leapt out of his seat with joy. "Oh my God, Ayame!" he cried. "It's our baby!"
The mother was crying, either with joy or at the father's hysterics, Sasuke didn't know, but he, too, was watching the father with amusement.
Sakura shot him a similar look over her shoulder, sharing a slight bond with him over their position as audience to the chaos. She turned back to them and continued working until she found what she was looking for. "Ayame, Hatsuda, Congratulations it's a boy!"
"A BOY!"
Later, after Sakura bowed to the young couple and the two of them left did she let out a sigh of relief. "New fathers are all so similar." she said and looked over to Sasuke. "You'll get used to it."
"Hn." Was all he said.
"Well, its approaching dinner hour, so are you going to eat?" He shrugged and she did the same. "Suit yourself. There's a cafeteria down stairs if you want that, or you can go to one of the shops downtown. You have thirty minutes."
She walked out and left him to decide what he wanted. They had three hours left after lunch, so he figured he would just stay put.
Down in the Cafeteria he spotted Sakura with her lab coat off and the top button of her blouse undone, leaving a hint of milky skin beneath to have him guessing the rest of her anatomy. A shame he couldn't see any cleavage; she'd grown nicely there as well.
She wasn't really eating, she was reading an article from a medical magazine, leaving him to wonder if she did anything else but work. She used to be carefree and did 'fun' things, or whatever girls did. Now, from what he knew, she worked ninety plus hours a week and didn't bat an eyelash at it. How she did that was impossible to comprehend.
He went to the salad bar and grabbed what he wanted, then looked around. The place had enough people in the room to make him hesitant to eat there, but he figured he could sit with his 'boss' and be more comfortable with her than any strangers.
When she heard someone sit down across from her, she assumed it was Hinata or another of her coworkers. When there was no greeting, she lowered her magazine and came face to face with Sasuke. Her look was deadpan.
"Surprised?" he said with a slight smirk.
"Not really." Though it was a lie. "But I'm not some kindergartner. You can eat wherever you want."
He grinned, knowing he'd won and ate his food. He noticed there was only three bites from her sandwich, but ignored it.
When their break was done, they left and continued work. For the last hour of their shift, they did paperwork and, albeit Sasuke, worked on the computer.
When she looked up at the clock and saw it was already nine pm, she wondered if Tsunade would notice if she stayed longer.
…Of course she'd know.
"Alright." She said to herself and grabbed her shoulder bag. She shut off her computer, grabbed the completed stacks of papers and shut off the light. When she looked over at Sasuke, he was reclined in the desk chair, staring off into space.
She felt a pang and wondered if she would ever stop loving him. He felt her gaze on him, and he looked over, catching a wistful look in her eyes, before they hardened again.
"Lets go." She said and waited for him to stand and follow.
oooooooooooooooooooooo
How do you like how it's going so far? I'll be getting a Lemon in a couple chapters, but probably not the next one, unless it just happens. I never plan things out when I'm writing. Thanks a lot for your support!
