Sakura
The next morning, I woke up early and got ready for work. I had gotten all of my work done, even after last night's escapade. I gathered my things and put them into the small briefcase that Lady Tsunade made me use, so that I wouldn't lose any papers. Work was a blur, patients checking in and out, arguing over what medicines they wanted, and whether they wanted bandages. The one thing that I noticed was that Kakashi hadn't come to the hospital, even though Lady Tsunade wanted daily checkups. So she assigned me to do daily house calls, and check on Kakashi. "We need him healed for any serious missions that come up." Tsunade informed me, when I asked why it was such a huge deal that we check on him. And that was how I was forced to visit his house daily.
The first house call that I made was that afternoon. I had walked in, and there was an awkward silence that had filled the apartment. The only discussion that went on was when I asked him how he was feeling, and when I tried to get him to drink his medicine. But with each house call that I made, we slowly got back to a comfortable atmosphere where we could both relax in each other's presence. I'd joke around about crazy stuff that happened in the hospital, and he'd talk about what he'd been up to. He had been given permission by Lady Tsunade to leave the apartment by himself, but he couldn't train or do anything too physical with Gai and his challenges. So him and Gai, (to Kakashi's pleasure) were only doing things like rock, paper, scissors, and thumb wars. I couldn't help but feel closer to Kakashi now, than before that night a couple weeks ago. And I liked it.
