Okay guys, sorry it took so long updating. I know I said I had the first chapter done and all but I decided to change it a little. I also said that I would upload it after five reviews. So I thought that well that would be a couple of days. But imagine how surprised I was when I learned that there were ten reviews already! I was so happy that I decided to update right away. Thanks so much guys! Also I know that a lot of you don't read the little introductions from the authors but if so happen to glance up and read this I would like to tell you that the introductions I put up are important to them! LOL! Sometimes I may ask you guys something like, 'Which scene do you want to happen?' SO make sure you read! Anyways here the 2nd chapter!

At eighteen she had come along way. She still flinched when strangers moved towards her to suddenly. Since she told Naruto and Sasuke about what happened with her father she had began to open up a little more with their help. So far they were the only ones who knew. Not even Tsunade knew.

When Naruto had gone off five years ago she had asked Tsunade to train her. She had said yes. Since training under Tsunade for years she had come a long way in medical ninjutsu and was currently on par with Tsunade and would soon surpass her. She was also skilled in the art of breaking huge boulders with her fists. To say that Naruto and Sasuke were shocked when they learned of this tad bit of information was an understatement.

From the point two years ago when she had so nicely pounded Naruto to pieces for being a perverted idiot to wiping the stupid arrogant smirk off of Shisui Uchiha's face when he tried to grab her ass the first time he met her in the hospital room for his monthly exam; most people did their best to get on her good side. Mostly the guys who were stupid enough to think they were going to get away for trying to pinch her ass ended up in the hospital not being able to walk for a month.

And then there was Itachi. She only saw him on two occasions, one being the weekly dinners at Sasuke's house, and the other being for his exam. The Uchihas had taken it upon themselves to personally ask for her when they were injured or needed their monthly exam. So she was acquainted well with the Uchiha clan. Though some of the clan's girls didn't take too nicely with her. Scratch that; known of them couldn't go more than five seconds without glaring at her unless when in the presence of a member of the main house family.

Though there was this one day they had very subtly learned there position and learned to keep their distance when Shisui had happened to walk by when they tried to corner her into a janitors closet in the hospital. He was coming by for his monthly check up when he had heard someone call her name. When he saw what was happening he got close to them and whispered something in their ears so slowly that she couldn't hear what was being said.

After he was finished and leaned back up still glaring at them, they were as white as snow. Then they turned heal and left with their tails between their legs. Shisui had turned back and grinned casually at her and motioned for them to preside with his examination. To this day Sakura still had no clue what Shisui had said to them five months ago but whatever it was the girls didn't come within two hundred yards of her, thank Kami! But that didn't stop them from glaring at her though.

Itachi rarely ever came to his exams and she usually had to seek him out. Sakura guessed he thought just because he had retired from being ANBU he could skip out. If it were any other person who decided to skip she would have sent one of her assistants who were trying to learn the ropes of becoming a medical ninja. But since Itachi was a special case and wouldn't come willingly with another nurse because the drooled all over him, she had to do it herself. Bastard.

Besides it was quit amusing too. Sakura had come to learn from Sasuke that Itachi hated shots!

The bid bad ANBU captain feared shots! Man she really got a kick out of that one.

Naruto had grown a lot over the years too but he was only smart when it came to fighting an opponent. She wasn't saying he was stupid or anything but he defiantly had his moments. Like when he was in front of Hinata and started to say something stupid.

It was cute really. Everyone knew that Naruto had a crush on Hinata except Naruto. So she wasn't saying he was stupid, just naïve.

" TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM! TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM!" Sakura jumped up shocked out of her musings and went to do the task at hand. To the emergency room!

Sakura rushed as fast as she could hope to get there in time. When she burst into the doors the nurses came to a stop at what they were doing and waited for orders. "Situation?" She demanded. Michi, a short nurse answered. "Hyuuga Hinata. Her teammate Inuzuka-sama rushed her in. She has stab wounds in many places and has lost too much blood. She needs a transfusion." Sakura nodded her head. "Alright, chart." Michi handed it to her. Sakura scanned the paper and found her blood type. "Michi go and get two pints of type A+ from the blood storage room. Hurry!" "Hai!"

Sakura went to the operating table and went to work. "Also will someone send for Uzamaki Naruto? Don't worry Hinata."

After hours of knitting Hinata's wounds back to together, which were really deep, and two transfusions Hinata was resting peacefully in her hospital bed with Naruto holding her hand in his. Maybe this was the push he needed to finally get on with the Hyuuga heiress.

She patted herself on the back and went to congratulate the nurses on a job well done.

Her staff was waiting for her in her office. She walked in and began clapping her hands together. "Great job tonight guys! I'm proud to have you all working in this hospital along side of me. You guys can take an early leave; I can handle things here until Shizune's nurses show up!" They mumbled there thanks and Sakura hugged some of them and shook hands with the others.

Sighing she decided to do some paper work while she waited. After the other nurses get here she would head over to Sasuke's. She had a feeling it would just be her tonight considering Naruto wont willingly leave Hinata's room.

Two Hours Later:

"Sakura-chan welcome! Come in!" Mikoto pulled her in by her hand and tugged her into a hug.

As they walked into the kitchen where Mikoto was finishing up cooking she saw Shisui leaning up against the wall and Sasuke and Itachi were sitting in the next room over where the dining area was. They seemed to be poking fun at Itachi by the slight glare he was giving them both. When Sakura walked into the room they stopped.

"Well if it isn't the little general herself." Shisui said glancing at Itachi smirking. Itachi didn't seem to notice because his eyes were resting on her. "Where's Blondie at?" Shisui asked. "Well Hinata came in badly injured this evening and he's most likely refusing the nurses from Shizune's quad right now to leave." Sasuke smirked while Shisui chuckled. Itachi was still starring at her. Sakura turned her head around to stop him from seeing her blush that spread across her cheeks.

Shisui watched this with amused eyes. He knew his baby cousin cared for the pinked haired medic. He's known since the time he walked into the hospital and came back to the main house with a pout and an ugly bruise on the side of his face. Itachi had asked him what happened. Shisui presided to tell him about the meeting between the two. He noticed how Itachi's eyes darkened with anger when he mentioned he grabbed her ass. He didn't even get to finish his dramatic story because Itachi had broken his right arm.

The asshole, he didn't even admit to having feelings for the girl and he was still over protective. How long his cousin had fancied the girl he didn't know but Shisui never talked about her the way he did when he told Itachi what happened again in fear of him braking both arms and maybe even a leg. Then there was the time when he had caught the girls of his clan ganging up on Sakura and threatened to tell Itachi what had occurred. That day he went home and told Itachi what happened to see his cousin's reaction. That night Itachi had confronted the girls and threatened to kick them out of the clan if they thought to ever go that far again. No one wanted to ever get kicked out of their clan. It showed what a disgrace they were.

The girls never went near her again. That was the night Shisui had realized how much Itachi cared for her and it seemed Sasuke knew too. But what he wasn't expecting was Sasuke telling him that they had mutual feelings for each other but they were both too stubborn to admit it.

Shisui stopped short of his thoughts when a kunai was embedded into the spot near his head, barley missing his ear by a mere centimeter. He gulped and turned to face Sakura who was glaring at him. He was confused as to why she would throw a kunai at him. Until he realized what he was doing. He was checking her out and right in front of Itachi too. He was so dead. And apparently Sakura noticed his look of fear because she was smiling sadistically at him.

Before he knew it he was slammed through the wall and looking at a satisfied Sakura above him. "Bastard." She said and walked over to sit beside Sasuke, he was looking at his cousin with pity. Itachi how ever was smirking at him. Shisui glared at him.

Mikoto stared at the scene with a frown. Another whole to fix. She went back icing the cake she made.

Sakura bit back a smirk from looking at him on the floor. He so deserved that! Starring at her like he did. He even had the nerve to feel her up with his eyes!

She suddenly felt the uneasy feeling of someone starring at her. She turned around to meet the owner of said stare. When she did her cheeks turned red and she turned away.

Itachi watched as she turned red from catching him starring at him. He felt disappointed when she turned away but he didn't know why. She seemed to do that often when he looked at her. And that was often. Inside he was still seething from anger at his cousin's nerve to look at her body the way he did. It had made him want to kill his cousin. But didn't have the right to be so protective of her. It wasn't like they were together in any way.

Itachi scowled when the rather unpleasant thought came to him. He would have to marry soon to take on the position as head. And he did not want to do that. The girls of the clan only thought of themselves and were greedy.

Itachi turned around to face his cousin only to Shisui lift up his hand to touch Sakura's hair. He was most likely teasing her about it, though he narrowed his eyes when she flinched and backed away. Shisui too seemed confused at this action.

Itachi turned to Sasuke lifting a questioning brow demanding him with his eyes to tell him what was wrong. But Sasuke was too busy trying to console the women in front of him.

Sakura took several deep breaths trying to calm down. When Shisui had started to tease her about her pink hair it brought back unwanted memories. It wasn't the fact the he had moved to touch so much as him teasing he about it. Her father had taunted her about it.

"Sakura it's okay I wasn't going to hurt you." Shisui said sadly. "It's not that." She said quietly. She was a little calmer than she was a minute ago.

"Sakura are you okay? You know Shisui didn't mean it right? Did you Shisui?" Sasuke cast a warning glare at Shisui. "No of course not. I was just teasing you a bit." Shisui said. Shisui looked guilty. She dint mean to make him feel this way. Maybe if she told him… Or maybe Sasuke could do it for her. No she would tell them when she was ready. She would not let her bastard of a father ruin her life!

"It's alright I'm fine."She said getting up and walking out of the room, she needed a minute.

Sasuke turned back to his cousin and brother seeing them both starring at him expectantly. "When she's ready to tell you she will. But I won't tell you." Sasuke stated in a 'drop it' tone.

Sakura breathed in the night's air. She was in the garden hidden in the maze of hedges that if followed correctly will lead to a small pound and lovely white marble bench. The first time she came here was when a ninja showed up at the door when she was having dinner with Sasuke's family and had said her mother passed away. Sakura knew it would happen because of the cancer that was spreading rapidly but it was too much to deal with. She dint even get to say good bye. SO she had rushed out of the house and came upon this area. It was so calming.

She stayed out there until Mikoto called her in to dinner. When she was sitted at the table she could feel the questioning glances of Shisui on her. She sighed and continued eating.

Later on that night on her walk home she felt like someone was watching her and waiting to pounce when she let her guard down. She swallowed nervously and walked a little faster. When she came to the door of her apartment she opened the door and went inside slamming it shut behind her and turning around and locked the door. She quickly spread her chakra out scanning fro intruders. When she found known she relaxed a little. 'I'm just paranoid.' She thought unaware of the dark green eyes that watch her through her window with a sickening smile on his face.

Haha I just remembered I left off on another story like this before.
