Wednesday

"See you tomorrow Sakura-chan!"

"Yeah see ya girls!"

Sasuke was leaning against his car waiting for the princess after school. He wasn't able to accompany her this morning because Tsunade had requested that he come with her shopping... he would have rathered ate his gun.

"Uchiha-san... what are you doing here?"

"I'm taking you home Sakura-san."

"Home, but it's wednesday."

"So?" Sasuke looked up to the confused girl standing on the steps just a few feet away from him; clearly something was on her mind, he was wondering if she was thinking about monday night's events.

She seemed back to her normal cheerful self when she woke yesterday, but then again who knows what is really going on in her head. "Well on wednesdays I don't normally go home right away. I go to the clinic."

"Clinic?" Sasuke began to check her for any physical injuries she may have, but he couldn't see anything that she would need to see a doctor for.

"Yes, the hospital where my mother works has a free clinic that I volunteer at. I'm studying to become a doctor too, its helps with pratice, and I get to help people."

'Oh god damn-it!' Sasuke knew this was what Kakashi was talking about at their meeting.

"Uchiha-san?"

"Get in the car."

Sakura gave the directions to Tokyo's private hospital, only the rich and famous can afford the place; a lot of the councel go here when they need to, and it's quiet. The building, which had about twenty-five floors, and had seven different wings that took up two city blocks. The emergency ward was located on the left side of the massive building and another door with no title over it was on the right located right in front of them.

"Is this it?"

"Yup!"

"How many actually come here?" Sasuke was skeptical that people would really come here for medical attention, it didn't really look all that great of a place, the hospital looked much better.

"Oh lots, it's a free clinic so anyone that doesn't have health insurance may come in. The hospital does so well that the clinic is fully stocked all the time and my father gives a very generous donation every month so if someone with a serious injury needs medical attention they can be admitted into the hospital free of charge."

"Hn." 'So victims of the mob's half assed jobs get free medical benefits.'

"Uchiha-san, are you going to come in?"

"Hn."

Sasuke expected men with bullet holes in them, and missing limbs to be sitting in the waiting room or screaming at the nurse sitting at the front desk. But seeing normal women with young children threw him off guard. He is use to seeing young, rich girls that get everything they want; even when he was younger he had never seen people treated like this. Sakura was bombarded with several small children that ran up to her.

"Hey guys, how are you? We'll get everyone checked out okay." She then lead Sasuke down the hall to her make shift office. "Um... it maybe a few hours, I normally get done around seven; if you want to leave, there's nothing really to do around here. You can jus-."

"I'm staying."

"Um... okay, I don't know what you can do, but I have to do my rounds now." She dropped her school bag on the desk and snatched up the white lab coat hanging on the back of the door. Out of the corner of her eye she could see him move from his position against the wall; he moved to stand behind her. "Uchiha-san?"

"Hn."

She knew arguing would be useless, he was just like Neji and once he made up his mind there was no use trying to change it. "Alright you can come with me, but you must stay out of the doctor's way, and be quiet understand?"

"Aa."

And he did as he was told, while they were in the first room. Sakura was treating a small girl that had a pretty bad cut on her arm. "Nichie what did you do to yourself this time? Where's Koharu?"

"He went to wash his cut out, and Senji was picking on us again."

"Your brother shouldn't get into so many fights, it's not good."

"He was making fun of daddy again... he said he deserved to die."

"Well that's a lie! No one deserves to die, and taking another's life is wrong; the people who hurt your father will be punished soon," Sakura was very sure of that on the outside just to cheer the child up, but she knew the reality of the situation. Nichie's father was killed by a hired hit man for the mob two years before, there was very little chance he would be arrested now.

"And when exactly soon Uzumaki-san?"

"Brother!"

The two adults in the room looked over to the door where the thirteen year old boy stood. He had a busted lip and a black eye, and the minute Sakura saw his condition she ran over to check for any other injuries. Sasuke watched from his spot as the princess tended to the boy as if he was her own son. He could relate to some of what the boy was going through, many nights he would come home beaten up from having a fight in school. His mother would care for him just as Sakura was doing now, and he would usually get a lecture from his father afterwards.

He pushed those thoughts away as he focused on what was going on back in the room. Sakura had finished cleaning them and the girl was currently licking a bright red lollipop Sakura must have given her as she stood to leave the room. "The doctor will be in shortly, and I want you to be good; and please try to stay out of fights Koharu, I don't want you back in here with anything broken okay?"

"Yes ma'am."

The minute they got outside Sakura let out a frustrated sigh. "Where's their mother?"

"She's probably at her second job, she has to have two just to pay the bills. Those two should have been in school today."

"Why do you think they weren't?"

"Most likely Senji got to them during recess and they were sent to the nurse. But she always looks down on them because of their father."

"What did he do?" Sasuke knew that was a stupid question to ask because with the mob, if you looked at them the wrong way you'd be dead by dinner, but he decided to play dumb for once.

"I never met the man, but I heard he had a gambling problem and owed someone a lot of money."

"Hn." Sasuke knew who he delt with, the councel owned most of Tokyo except a few blocks in the southern part of the city. And Orochimaru liked giving charity to the gamblers in the red light distict, but the interest rate he put on top was too much for most people to pay back, which of course resulted in many deaths.

"A lot of people that come here are victims of mob crimes, or just innocent people that were at the wrong place at the wrong time. The mobs in the city just make me sick! They ruin lives and destroy families I try to help these kids, but it's not enough... they need so much more." Sasuke was shocked at the words coming from the mob princess's mouth, she had no clue that her own family was the cause of all these peoples' pain.

A few trips later which consisted of bandaging up an old woman, and examining a toddler who had the flu, Sakura was ready to leave by seven like she said. There were a few heart felt cases that actually stuck in Sasuke's mind. Like this little girl that had second degree burns on half her body because of a car bomb that exploded. Sakura told him how the explosion killed the man in the car, and the child's mother. She then stated that when she graduated med school she was going to work here, and she was going to stop the mob from killing anymore people.

Sasuke knew that dream was impossible, she was only one girl trying to take on a group that has been in business for over one hundred years; but he wasn't going to douse her hopes... at least not yet anyway.

When they arrived home, Sakura heated up two plates of food and dragged Sasuke into the dinning room to eat. "Uchiha-san... you know so much about me, but I really don't know anything about you." She didn't ask, but he knew she wanted to know his past; and he knew he couldn't give that. Giving ones background shows trust, and attachment, both of which Sasuke couldn't afford with his life style... he couldn't have anyone close.

"I don't talk about my past."

"Oh..."

"Why would you care? I'm a servant to your family nothing more."

"That's not true! You have every right to do whatever you wish in this house. I know we haven't known each other for very long, but I was hoping we could."

"Don't hope for anything from me Uzumaki-san, this is a job... nothing more." Despite his harsh words, Sasuke couldn't stand looking at her tear stricken face any longer; he stood from the table and went up to his room... he didn't get much sleep that night.

Note: I know this one was a short one, sorry. And yeah Sakura looks even more like a goody goody with helping out in the hospital, but that is the way her character is suppose to be. And what did Sasuke just do! Why did he push her away? It seems that he is a little afraid of his feelings, what is going to happen next? Also, the next chapter is going to jump to the next week, other wise I'd be here for months, and I just don't the have the time. But I'll mention this again in the next chapter, and someone is going to die... who do you think it will be?
