RECAP: Yello, looks longer than it is

Gaara wanted to see Sakura first so Naruto had wheeled him around to find her. As it turned out she wasn't in Sasuke's room. Instead she was in the front greeting Kiba. Gaara didn't care that she was already talking to Kiba though, he was too excited.

"SAKURA! LOOK! LOOK AT ME!"

Sakura turned around and saw Gaara standing with his IV bag smiling huge.

"Stay there I'm gonna walk to you."

Sakura wanted desperately to run and hug him but she waited for Gaara to come to her. Kiba was amazed. He'd seen Gaara just the day before and now he was up and walking, pretty well too, not like a surgery patient should be able too, at least not this early. Once he got to Sakura she hugged him as tight as possible.

"Ah!"

"Sorry I forgot."

Kiba was confused and Gaara could tell. He took his hand and put it on his chest just below his ribs.

"Can you feel that?"

"Yeah..."

"That's my brand new battle scar. I'd show you but I'm wearing a gown."

"...Impressive."

Sakura hugged him again and noticed he had an eyepatch on.

"What's going on under that eyepatch?"

"Guess."

"Another scar?"

"Nope, an eye."

"Why do you need an eyepatch."

He didn't say anything and Sakura lifted it up and saw that his left eye was cloudy.

"Oh..."

"I've embraced it. I'm actually liking this eyepatch. Naruto says it's sexy."

"Well I'm glad you're taking this so well."

Gaara turned his attention to Kiba.

"Kiba, by the way. Just so Sakura doesn't make me sound pitiful while explaining it to you I'm blind in this eye now but I'm not suffering."

"Oh man, you OK?"

"Ha, of course I am, the tumor was benign, I remember who you are, and I can wave at you."

"Well good for you."

"No offense but, why are you here?"

"Just checking in on everyone."

"Mhm..."

Gaara turned his attention back to Sakura again.

"Will you take these bandages off?"

"I'll ask Tsunade, you are a jinchuuriki I assume that scar's almost done healing."

"YES! When can I go home?"

"I'm not sure."

"OK that's fine. Will you take my other stitches out?

"Yeah, I think it's about time."

"Cool let's go."

Gaara got back in his chair and held onto his IV's so they'd roll with him as Naruto pushed. They got to an exam room and Gaara laid out on the table. Sakura only undid the gown to expose Gaara's chest and scar. Kiba was just as shocked at the sight of Gaara's bare chest it was bruised and battered and he had many many new scars. Sakura started taking out stitches and Kiba looked at the scar he'd just felt. It was a very intense scar, he couldn't believe he'd just touched that.

"Kiba! Kiba look!"

"Hmm?"

"This is what it look's like. Cool huh?"

"...Sure is."

Sakura told Gaara to stop talking and he did and she finally got the stitches out and put a bandage over it.

"My turn!"

Naruto got on the bed and took his shirt off and laid down. Kiba was equally as shocked with his scar. It was longer and looked more jagged. Sakura took the stitches out and put a similar bandage on it. Kiba was just glad that it was covered. Sakura then got on the table and laid down on her stomach. Naruto lifted her shirt up to get a better look.

"Naruto what the hell are you doing?"

"Kiba, really? You didn't think we were the only ones with a new scar did you?"

He pulled Sakura's shirt up as far as he could and ran his finger over her stitches.

"Hurt?"

"Nope. Guess I'm ready too, someone get an intern."

Naruto paged one. She seemed nervous but everyone did around Sakura. The intern had to lift her shirt up almost until it was off. Kiba was blushing and Gaara and Naruto were glaring at him. He tried to avoid eye contact at all costs. Kiba was really just looking at her scar it was a pretty clean cut but it looked pretty bad. Sakura hadn't even let on that she'd been hurt. Naruto was watching his eyes like a hawk, making sure it was only the scar he was looking at.

"I mean really can't I get a talented intern in here? Is it that much to ask-SON OF A BITCH!"

Sakura writhed and Naruto stepped in between her and Kiba, making sure he didn't see anything.

"W-what happened?"

"You never ask the patient what happened! For goodness sakes your the fucking doctor! Did you numb the whole area?"

"I think so."

"You think so! You think so! Are you kidding me?"

"Do you want me to get another intern?"

"No, the only way you'll learn is to practice now please finish numbing first."

"Of course. I'm very sorry."

"...It's fine just get it done."

"...Alright, finished. It's definitely going to leave a pretty good scar though. I'll get the bandage."

The nurse bandaged Sakura up and she composed herself. Once she had Naruto stepped out of Kiba's line of sight. Sakura then turned to Kiba who was red from seeing so much of Sakura and for hearing her swear like that.

"You've got quite a colorful vocabulary."

"...I get frustrated with my interns sometimes...sorry about that."

"Your interns must be terrified of you."

"That's how I like it. You have anything that needs stitching?"

"...Eh...I guess i'm not as good of a ninja as you four."

Naruto chimed in right after he said that with-

"You're sure not."

Sakura slapped his stomach with the back of her hand and he apologized. Kiba let it go. He was feeling a little nauseous after seeing all those stitches being taken out so he said he was going to check on Hinata and Naru. Gaara followed him out thinking that Naruto wanted to talk to Sakura. Sakura said bye and turned her attention to Naruto.

"What's wrong with you Naruto?"

"What's going on between you and Kiba?"

"Nothing, he's just keeping me company."

"He sure is hanging around you a lot."

"I know huh? I'm sure he'll give up soon though."

"Do you want him to?"

"Of course. I have Sasuke."

Naruto sighed at her response. Sakura knew it wasn't what he wanted to hear but it was the truth.

MEANWHILE

Gaara stopped Kiba just before he got to the front desks and took him down a hall right next to the front entrance.

"Gaara where are you taking me?"

"Just come with."

Gaara took him down the hall where there were very few people were.

"OK now watch. I think it'll freak some other patients out or even nurses. OK so tell me, what does my left eye look like."

Gaara lifted his eyepatch and Kiba got down on his knees to get a better look.

"Looks pretty cool actually."

"But how does it look?"

"Cloudy."

"Not creepy?"

"No. It's cool."

"So I could walk around without this eyepatch and small children wouldn't cry?"

"Of course not. It's not like you're missing an eye and are walking around without an eyepatch."

A few moment later Sakura and Naruto walked up and saw Kiba on his knees looking into Gaara's eyes and Gaara looking into his. Naruto pulled Kiba by his shirt towards him and made him stand.

"What the hell's this?"

Gaara chuckled.

"He's not even my type Naruto."

Kiba turned around slightly offended.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Gaara laughed again.

"I was just testing my eye out. Naruto come look. He said my left one looks cool. True or not?"

"It is cool. Wow. It's all cloudy and stuff."

"Really? See? Another reason to love this eye. Alright I'm going to go see my family."

"Let's go."

Naruto wheeled him off. Gaara was talking to him the whole way over. Sakura was going to walk Kiba out but he decided to stay, his stomach had settled. He was mainly staying for Sakura but she was going to Sasuke's room so he stayed behind and wandered around.
