Waiting
They're waiting at the hospital, all three of them. They got the call an hour ago that something had gone wrong on a mission and had naturally rushed to the hospital, only to be told that they would have to wait. All were a bit disappointed seeing as they had used their fastest techniques to get there.
Naruto had used the newly mastered Flying Thunder God technique.
Sasuke had used the teleportation jutsu he had learned during his days as ANBU.
Shikamaru (never one for flashy displays of power. Or doing anything at any great pace) had simply jumped from building to building until he reached the hospital.
And now they sat there waiting. Stressing. Hoping that everything was going to be ok. That the women they were waiting for weren't too badly beaten up. Well Shikamaru and Sasuke sat. Naruto paced, haori flaring wildly with each turn. He had tried sitting but was even more restless than the other two, one of which was twirling a kunai and the other flicking his lighter on and off.
"You three go wait on the roof." Tsunade may have retired from being Hokage but she still worked in the hospital. "This could be a while. Naruto looks like he needs to punch something, Shikamaru evidently requires a cigarette and I don't need any more of Sasuke's kunai lodged in that wall. I will come and get you when they're ready for visitors."
Another one that has been in my head a while. It was originally going to be part of a much longer one shot but I like it like this. May post the other parts eventually.
