Life of A Medic Nin

[Haruno Sakura]

Sakura sighed as she washed her hands.This was starting to become a problem.She was overworking herself.She heard others say it and she knew it herself.She just couldn`t stop.

She cursed herself for being so stubborn.She had asked herself so many times.Why did she do it?Why did she keep going on?She knew the answer to both questions.

She didn`t want to be left behind.She didn`t want to be weak.She just didn`t want to be overlooked.She wanted to be appreciated just once.If she was then she could die happily.That was her dream.Her goal.It was her goal.This had been her goal after Sasuke had left.

She still called him 'Sasuke-kun',but without the sweetness it held when they were 13.It now held determination.She had gotten over her little crush long ago.She now said his name with determination.To make him realize how strong she had gotten.

Sakura chuckled as she leaned against the wall.

"Maybe I should take a little break..."Sakura said to herself.

She then walked toward her office.Yup she had gotten her own office.She had gotten stronger.Wiser.Mature.She was now a new Haruno Sakura.

Sakura sighed as she sat down in the chair and fell asleep.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Naruto had been training for most of the morning. This was really all he had been doing for the past few days now. He didn't spend anytime catching up with friends and he hasn't had allot of missions lately ether. If he was going to get Sasuke back he had to get allot stronger. He was going to try to train right throught lunch but his stomach had other ideas. It made it clear that it wanted to be fed and soon.

Naruto signed as he picked up his stuff and got ready to head back into town for now. As he started walking back he wondered which raman he was going to get and how many bowls he would eat today. About halfway back he started to wonder how his old crush has been doing. Naruto says old because he had just started to get over the fact that in the end she had picked Sasuke over him. It still stung him a bit to think about that but it was her choice and she wanted him. So Naruto was going to do everything he could to keep his word and bring Sasuke back for her.

His thoughts took him the rest of the way to town and a ways into it too. He smiled and thought it best to catch up with her and ask Sakura to have lunch with him. He wondered where she would be thought. He desided the Hospital would be the best place to look. They would know atleast where she was at. Naruto headed that way off in his own little world of thought.

Naruto had reached the hospital and asked a few people till they told him where her office was and he took his time to get there. He slowly opened the door to find Sakura asleep at her desk. He couldn't help but think she was cute like that. He was just about to wake her up rather loudly but he quickly remembered what had happened to him last time he had did that. So instead he gentally shook her shoulder.

"Sakura it's time to wake up." Naruto said

[Haruno Sakura]

Sakura instantly opened her eyes and got out a kunai she had kept under desk just in case.She slowly put the kunai down and smiled weakly.She hadn`t expected to see Naruto.It had been quite a while since they last talked to each other.As she sat down once again and signaled Naruto to sit she she smiled brightly.

It was good to see an old friend.She had kept herself busy with training and healing patients at the Hospital.By the looks of it,Naruto had also been busy with training.As Sakura scartched her head sheepishly she stood up.

Right then her stomach growled.She mentally scolded herself.She had forgotten to eat breakfast this morning.Sakura looked at Naruto.It seemed like he was hungry too.

"Naruto?Want to get something to eat?It`ll be your treat of course."Sakura asked warmly.

[[OOC:Sorry it`s short.I`m multitasking right now.]]

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Naruto smiled and laughted a bit when Sakura pulled out the kuni. What did she think there would be an attack and she wouldn't realize it till it was to late? He pushed that out of his mind as she gestured him to sit down and then she stood up herself. She was acting stranger than usual today. He didn't understand anything she did most the time anyways so he didn't take to much notice to this.

"Yeah i would love to." Naruto said "So is this our first date then?"

Naruto had meant this as a joke but half of him wanted her to say yes. She was the girl he had always been after ever sence the ninja academy so it was only natural for him to feel that way.

[Haruno Sakura]

Sakura laughed knowing it was a joke.She was feeling slightly relaxed since she was with her teammate and friend.Sakura`s green eyes scanned the room,her eyes landed on the clock.Sakura grinned.

Perfect.

It was her break which meant,she had a chance to get away from the Hospital.Sakura looked at Naruto and walked toward him."Come on!Forget what I just said.I`ll pay this time."Sakura said loudly as she pulled Naruto by the hand and out of the Hospital.

As she stoped draging Naruto."So where do you want to eat?"Sakura asked.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Naruto was dragged out of the Hospital by Sakura. She had never acted like that before. Why was she acting different all of the sudden? She didn't hit he for the coment and she had grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the hospital. Naruto couldn't tell why she was actting like this at all. Naruto didn't like it thought, this wasn't the Sakura he knew.

"Sakura what's wrong?" Naruto asked "Your not actting like yourself."

Naruto didn't have to answer her question... well he shouldn't have to atleast. He always ate raman and she knew that. Why was she asking thought? Naruto didn't understand her at all right now.

[Haruno Sakura]

Sakura laughed to herself.She could tell Naruto was worried about her."I`m fine.Just a little tired."Sakura said softly.Sakura nodded as she softly punched Naruto`s head."And that`s for the joke."Sakura said.

She then smiled."Have you seen Kakashi-sensei?We haven`t seen him in a while."Sakura asked.It was true,she hadn`t seen her old sensei in weeks.She was starting to get worried.Sakura sighed as she massasged her forehead.She was getting more and more stressed.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Naruto went flying when Sakura hit him. Even thought it was solf her solf was extremly hard compared to everyone else. Naruto now wished he didn't ask her if she was ok. He was worryed and he got hit for it. Naruto was going to try and rememeber that next time even thought he knew he wouldn't.

"God Sakura you didn't have to hit me so hard." Naruto said now standing up again "I haven't seen Kakashi in a long time ether, but he's our sensei so i know he's alright."

Naruto had now cought up to her and was heading for the raman bar now. He could already tast the raman so he couldn't wait to get some of it in his stomach.

[Haruno Sakura]

Sakura glanced at Naruto and laughed.She knew Naruto would probably eat several bowls of ramen.Sakura then wished she hadn`t said she would pay for it.That was a lot of money going down the drain.Sakura shook away the thoughts and focused on the street.Sakura looked at the villagers.She then noticed genins bragging about how strong they were to academy students.

Sakura raised an eyebrow.Sakura shrugged.It wasn`t her bussiness.Sakura then ran toward Ichiraku as it came into sight."Come on Naruto!Your going to miss all the ramen!"Sakura yelled.
