I couldn't sleep so Im updating twice today. once now and once later today. I know its kinda short I apologize ahead if time. This is kinda a filler chapter. Still no pairing but I am willing to take some advice. Thank you for reading and as always reviews are not necessary but they are inspiring.
The walk to Sakura's home was as uneventful as it could be with a full grown woman riding side saddle on an over sized ninkin. Kiba would stop every so often by her request and allow her to pick up a few groceries that he paid for. Sakura would always argue with him that she did not need him to cover her expenses. In truth she wondered if he was trying to win her favor despite his previous statement of not being around her for that. Still he had said yet which mean he was going to be doing exactly that at some point. Each time she had tried to turn him down he simply explained that she would be the one feeding him for the next few days and it was only fair. So with a growl and not being one to fight with logic she gave up her resistance only to replay the argument once more. By the time the two returned to her home it was around nine in the morning and Akamaru looked exhausted from carrying the girl for two hours straight. Kiba smiled as she allowed them entrance removing herself from Akamaru and rewarding him with a pat on the head. Steadying herself on the frame of her door her eyes closed sweat resting upon her brow. This immediately sent up red flags in Kiba's mind he knew that smell.
"Hey Sakura are you ok? Let me help you inside and I'll get you a glass of water." Kiba immediately ditched the groceries and brought the tiny females arm over his shoulder. He would have carried her if not for the fact that he would not risk hurting her pride. The last thing he needed was his face introduced to her wall. She gave a soft smile gratefully excepting Kiba's assistance feeling nauseous and light headed. Quickly scooting herself to the edge of her couch she fought back another wave of nausea. Placing her head between her knees as she was trained to do in these situations she closed her eyes. A glass of water set in front of her as Kiba began to rub circles upon the small of her back.
"I'll be fine Kiba I just need to relax for a minute. Thank you for your help." Her skin was getting paler and her scent was slightly fluctuating. He knew that smell all to well and with a sigh he stood and dug through the groceries. Finding his target he left the room telling her to stay put he knew what she needed. Hearing pots and pans clink together she sighed. He was about to destroy her kitchen but it was the thought that counted right? A few minutes later she heard sizzling and the smell of bacon wafted to her nose. Oh no he's cooking she inwardly moaned. Did he know not to cut meat on the wooden cutting board? She prayed he knew not to use metal on her good pans. She had just gotten those and really didn't want to replace them.
A full fifteen minutes later Kiba returned with scrambled eggs and bacon, allot of bacon. Setting some toast on her plate and forcing her to sit up he locked eyes with the paling pinkett. She definitely needed protein that would fix her anemia for the time being. It seemed a little weird to him though. Sakura didn't ever seem to have this problem before. Maybe he just hadn't noticed it until now. It's not like he spent every waking hour with the medic-nin. Still he should have noticed it sooner. Could it be an effect of the jutsu she had just completed?
"Now don't go telling anyone about this Haruno. I'm only trying to be nice and I don't normally cook. One smart ass comment and I'll let you suffer as I go get Tsunade before you finish eating." His threats were empty but seemed to be enough to keep the woman in front of him quiet. To his relief the color was coming back to her face and she began to perk just a bit. With a smile he coaxed her into eating everything. After they had finished eating Sakura had thanked him and promptly kicked him out in favor of a bath stating that she would see him that night for dinner as agreed upon. With a nod he turned and left with his partner to find Tsunade.
Four hours later Sakura had bathed, taken a nap and gathered her research to turn into Tsunade. Getting ready to leave her front door burst open and in walked an irritated Hokage. Said door was now bent in a single spot and the woman was stalking towards her with a bottle of pills. She wondered if this had anything to do with her sudden release from the hospital that morning. Standing in front of her shishuo who was now releasing a new string of curses she waited quietly. Finally ending her tirade Tsunade sighed and sat her former student on the couch Having her take what she explained was a vitamin supplement. Apparently a side effect of the jutsu was her vitamins were drained from the users body along with there chakra. It also left he chakra lazy and made it take twice as long to replenish there chakra for several hours after. These complications were also taking there effect on her assistants on a lesser level.
"I am very disappointed in you Sakura. Sneaking out with the help of Kiba and Ino. What were you thinking? If I had been able to check you over before you left then maybe I would have been able to tell you that you needed to take supplements for the next few days. If you bothered to read your charts you would have seen that as well." Tsunade sighed completing her check up and getting her vitals. "That isn't the only reason I'm here though. I need you to visit Kakashi. He is refusing treatment until you personally come to see him."
"When I get my hands on him I swear to Kami I'm going to kill him with my bare hands!" She sighed realizing the irony of what she had just said. To create or destroy she mused looking at her hands. To hurt or comfort, her hands balled themselves and then relaxed. She felt powerful and it both frightened her and soothed her. She swore to herself that she wouldn't let this power change her ideal, and morals. It would not corrupt her. This was a gift from Kami and she would treasure it till her last breath, and even after.
"Shall we go shishuo?" She smiled slipping her shoes on and rolling her shoulders. Closing the now dented door behind the two of them she made her way back to the hospital handing her research off to her mentor with a yawn to prevent damaging it when she went to see Kakashi.
