Successful
Mission, Chapter 2

�NO!
Not that one�here see? Look at the book for God�s-Stop! No don�t cry, just make
sure you�re painting the same symbol in the correct position.� Tsunade was busy
rushing around correcting the new various chuunins painting the seal for the ijutsu.
Sakura
watched one young kunoichi�s eyes well up with tears as she held her brush,
almost dripping with paint, watching her Hokage.
�I
think I�ll go see if Hayate is here yet.� Sakura turned away as the girl
brushed her tears away and began painting the last ring of symbols and words
around the outer edge.
�Hayate
is it?� Shizune cooed as Sakura started to walk away. Doing her best to ignore
the older kunoichi Sakura made her way up from the basement.
The
temperature rose greatly as she reached the first floor, a warm breeze was
flowing through the front doors of the hospital as she made her way to the
front desk. It was still early, not even midmorning and Sakura hoped that she
could regain enough strength by early afternoon to keep working.
Hayate�s
visits seemed to be happening more and more often lately. It had been barely
two weeks since she�d spent an afternoon and evening sleeping off her
exhaustion from the last time. Not that she really minded, it was part of her
job and was building her stamina and chakra supply more than during any other
kind of training she�d ever endured.
As
she approached the front desk the female nin sitting and pulling files smiled
up at her.
�He�s
just walked in a few moments ago Sakura-san.� Sakura waved a thanks and walked
off down a hallway to the room reserved for Hayate.
The
door was cracked open slightly so Sakura walked in without a second thought.
�Gekkou-san�Oh,
Sorry!� As she entered the room she quickly closed the door behind her and
turned around.
Hayate
pulled up the hospital pants and shrugged on the shirt, watching the back of
his medics head. The embarrassment was easily seen on her pink cheeks but he
wondered why. She�d be seeing him completely nude in a short while and be
placing her hands on him. What was the difference if she saw him naked now?
�It�s
fine. Is it time?� The back of her bobbed twice and she turned to watch him
place his neatly folded clothes on the chair next to the bed.
�Ready?�
He nodded once, chin barely moving, and Sakura led him out of the room.
______________________________
Coolness
from the floor seeped into Sakura�s legs and made her squirm slightly. Chakra
pumped smoothly from her hands and Tsunade�s as more chakra gathered, weakly
now, from the circle beneath Hayate.
�Need
a break?� Sakura blinked her eyes open slowly and focused in the dim light.
Tsunade was moving her hands upwards, shifting her attention to the top of
Hayate�s right lung.
�No,
I�m almost done here I think.� She was already at the top of his left lung.
Currently she couldn�t find much else that could be repaired.
Scar
tissue was building in another part of his lung and she�d spent a great amount
of time trying to clear and smooth it, cultivating the correct lining he needed. His breathing was coming easier and smoother
as a male medic switched with another on the outside ring of the design.
Sakura
swept what chakra she had left and what was coming in beneath him to find
another lesion in his lung. She stopped the tiniest trickle and healed the area
before continuing her search. Not much else could be, the seal was weakening
and everyone�s chakra was running low.
Hayate�s
cells seemed intent on destroying themselves and corrupting those around them.
It was extremely unrewarding to find an area just healed already reverting back
to its decomposing state.
Tsunade
was sweeping his entire body with chakra as Sakura sat back exhausted. Shizune
was groaning and complaining about her knees as the three medics waiting around
as replacements began to gather up paints, books and various other supplies.
Hayate
had passed out only a few minutes into the ijutsu and seemed to be sleeping
peacefully. Sakura wasn�t worried though, placing him under using anesthetic or
another jutsu wasn�t the best idea, so they let him pass out from the procedure
naturally.
As
she watched his eyes close and body stiffen in the beginning she knew it must
be painful but he never voiced any complaints.
Leaning
forward Sakura titled his head to the side and brushed damp dark hair away from
his face.
�He
doesn�t seem to be in any pain at the moment. Still out of it though�� Tsunade
cracked open one of his dark brown eyes for a moment.
�He
looks cold, maybe we should take him out now.� Sakura motioned one of the
medics to bring over his hospital clothes and stretcher as she took in his limp
body.
Goosebumps
were rising across the skin of his arms and chest while the tips of his fingers
and under his fingernails turned purple.
�Throw
some clothes on him and slap him in bed. Don�t worry about waiting around to
give him a checkup Sakura. As soon as he wakes up he�ll be leaving for a
mission.�
Tsunade
stood and left the room for Sakura to care for the slack bodied shinobi. With
help she dressed and carried the dark eyed man up to his hospital room to rest
before his mission.
______________________________
Sakura�s
blanket was ripped off her body, waking her cruelly from a pleasant dream
having something to do with the moon light. A great shiver racked her body; she
squeezed her knees up and tucked her arms in front of her body. When that
didn�t help she fumbled blindly, refusing to open her eyes, searching for her
missing linens.
�Oh
no you don�t.� A strong male voice said loudly, or what sounded loud to her
still half asleep mind.
The
loose sheet she touched with the edge of a finger was pulled away quickly.
Groaning Sakura tried to curl into herself, not at all worried about the man
standing next to her bed exposing her half dressed form to the dark room.
�Just
give me my blankets back Naruto.� It came out muffled and annoyed from her
hunched body.
�Is
that anyway to greet me after being gone for the better part two weeks?� Humor
was evident in his deep voice and Sakura smiled ruefully.
�Will
you give them back if I let you in bed?� A playful tease. Of course the sheet
and blanket were thrown back over her immediately.
A
grin split her face as the bed shifted drastically; a warm arm snaked its way
around her waist and yanked her against an even warmer body.
�It�s
barely past 9:30, why are you in bed already?� He rumbled into her
ear making her squirm in his grasp.
Turing
in his arms she shifted until her side was pressed against his stomach and her
legs draped over his. His teeth flashed bright in the darkness as he smiled
down at her. Naruto always came back with a smile on his face and all his body
parts intact. Which Sakura was eternally grateful for, not only because they�d
become extremely attached to each other but because she didn�t often have to
patch him up.
�Chakra
drain. I see you�re full of life however�� His head ducked down and he started
to nuzzle the side of her neck. Sakura�s sentence fell off into a fit of
surprised laughter. �N-naruto stop!� She laughed but couldn�t put up any kind
of fight worthy of a kunoichi of her skill.
When
he grabbed her wrists and pushed her down only to find barely any resistance;
he let up. Sakura gasped for breath but didn�t retaliate or try to gain any
control.
�Jeez
you must be serious�� Naruto was hoping for some fun, he had a sick fascination
with pushing her until he received bruises for his attentions. �Now what should
I do?� He said in a mock sad voice, rolling his eyes to the ceiling as Sakura
watched.
At
the devilish expression plastering itself across his features Sakura started to
become nervous. Now she pulled at his hands and tried to roll away, all in vain
of course since Naruto just settled himself heavily along her body.
�Well,
since you seem to be at my mercy and unable to inflict bodily damage��
�I�ll
tell Kakashi.� Naruto pulled up and away from her, allowing her to rise and
stretch leisurely.
�Don�t
use him as a threat, besides, he doesn�t give a crap.� Naruto was frowning but
trying not to smile at the same time.
�You
know how he gets, remember Aoba?� Sakura was wide awake now. She loved teasing
Naruto as much as he loved teasing her.
�Completely
different situation. I was, er am kinda, his student.�
�What
about the time he knocked you unconscious out in the street after we�d been
drinking?� That was probably Sakura�s fondest memory of having someone be
protective of her.
Naruto
laughed deep and rough, very different from when they were children. He clearly
hadn�t forgotten about the time he�d openly groped Sakura, making her mad
enough to really want to hurt him.
Of
course she didn�t get the chance because Kakashi�s fist had come out and put
Naruto to sleep for the night. Obviously Kakashi hadn�t been worried about
seriously hurting him nor appreciated Naruto�s inappropriate public act either.
�Oh
yeah. Maybe we can try for repeat tonight, want to go out for a drink?�
�I�ll
pass for tonight Naruto. Maybe tomorrow?� An apologetic smile and tired look
was enough for him to see she was serious.
�What�s
Tsunade-baasan making you do all the time that has you so tired?�
�She
doesn�t make me do it Naruto, I volunteer.� Sakura curled back up in her
sheets, making Naruto frown down at her.
�What
have you been doing?� He seemed more
curious now than anything. Sakura had never had as much stamina as he had
naturally. But it seemed odd to him that during more or less peaceful times
like these that she�d be pushing herself into chakra exhaustion.
�I�ve
been helping with Gekkou Hayate�s treatments if you must know.� She mumbled
into her pillow, already sleepy again.
�Gekkou?
Why? What�s wrong with him?� Naruto rubbed his hand through spiky blonde hair
in confusion. Sakura wasn�t sure she believed him for a moment.
�Naruto�he�s
really sick, his lungs��
�Is
that why he coughs all the time? Well if you�re treating him, why does he
always seem the same?� Sighing Sakura rolled over, her back facing him. �He
always seems kinda the same to me anyways. Looks tired too�How often do you do
it, every week?� His child like curiosity and questioning was grating on her
nerves.
�Naruto-�
�Is
he getting better now? I bet, since you�re helping out Sakura-chan.�
�Naruto,
he can�t be cured.� He didn�t respond, probably because Sakura couldn�t keep
the sadness out of her own voice. �The treatments just keep him functional
enough to complete missions.�
�But
can�t Baasan��
�No.
She can�t.� Naruto stopped for a moment. He couldn�t comprehend the Hokage not
being able to fix one her sick shinobi. �So he comes every few weeks and I
suppose does missions afterwards while he�s feeling well enough.�
�Does
it hurt?� Again, even though he was a grown man, it was child like.
�I
assume so, the ijutsu isn�t delicate�He�s probably in pain all the time.�
�Then
why�� He stopped himself from finishing his thought because Sakura turned on
him, her eyes clear and angry.
�Would
you want to just sit in the hospital and waste away, even if you were injured
or ill? When you still had strength to serve Konoha? Have you ever done that?�
Naruto grimly shook his head. She had a point and he felt foolish for thinking
about a fellow shinobi, one he knew, that way.
Sakura
turned back over sighing, and tugging a pillow down to her stomach to curl
around. Naruto, pulling the blanket a little more securely over her, and made
his way to her bedroom door.
�
�Night Sakura-chan.� Voice soft in the dark room as he walked out. Sakura
listened as he let himself out of her apartment. Squeezing her tired eyes
tightly shut she tired to regain the blissful lack of awareness associated with
sleep.
______________________________
Stifling
a yawn with the back of her hand, Sakura walked slowly into the hospital, early
morning light luring her back to bed. Her �mission� had lasted three days and
she was still trying to catch up on sleep from getting back late last night, or
early this morning, she wasn�t sure.
She
never particularly like border patrol, it mostly consisted of staying on watch
and constantly moving. It wouldn�t have been so tiring if it weren�t so boring,
or her team mates had been more interesting. As it was she was paired with an
older male jounin she didn�t know well and two young male chuunins who did
nothing but vie for her attention.
Another
yawn and her thoughts were interrupted by a female medic walking quickly toward
her.
�Sakura-san,
he just came, I thought you�d be here. Tsunade and Shizune haven�t showed up
yet.� Sakura briskly walked past her
without question. There was no doubt in her mind who �he� was.
The
door was half open to his room and she pushed her way in quickly. Hayate was
sitting on the edge of the hospital bed. One chuunin and another more
experienced medic were standing around him.
An
IV was already placed in the crook of his left arm and his stomach was being
wrapped in gauze by the chuunin while the older medic was pushing chakra into
his bare chest.
�What
happen-�
Hayate�s
raucous coughing cut Sakura off, his lungs sounding as if they were trying to
escape from his chest. She could see why, horrible purple bruises raised
spectacularly from his skin, covering all the ribs of his right side.
Blood
dribbled down his chin as his body stiffened straight from the coughing and
pain it must have caused his injury. Sakura wanted to grimace but held it back,
Hayate grimaced enough for the both of them, if only for a moment. If he could
handle being in so much pain Sakura could handle seeing it.
�Injuries?�
She said before another fit of coughing could take over. She stood in front of
the jounin and also placed her hands on his chest while he tired to lean
forward to breathe.
�Trauma
from some powerful chakra I think�His stomach was slashed open by a katana
possibly. He hasn�t been able to talk.� The older man informed her, standing
aside so she could take his position but sit on the bed next the Hayate.
�I
stopped the bleeding, it should hold.� The chuunin said quietly, securing the
gauze and stepping back.
�Mmm.�
Sakura�s eyes were closed as she searched his chest. His ribs all seemed to be
unbroken, but the force against his muscles had caused swelling and
inflammation around his lung. She eased the swelling and as much of the
inflammation around the top of his lung where the tissue was functioning
relatively well first.
Hayate
pitched forward as more coughing took over. One hand coming up to cover his
mouth, Sakura instinctively wrapped an arm around his back and placed her hand
over his. When he quieted she brought it up and blinked at the warmness of his
blood spreading across her palm and fingers. Blood seemed to be leaking from
lesions more than normal and as he coughed more came out, clotted darkly with
bright red blood dripping on the floor.
Closing
her eyes she allowed the chuunin to wipe away the blood deftly before trying to
repair his bruised flesh.
______________________________
�Is
it easier to breathe now? You don�t feel light-headed?� Sakura asked. She
pulled the sheets and blankets up around him a little higher. Hayate nodded,
the tube attached to his face was providing him with enough oxygen for his
straining lungs to function.
�Hokage��
It came out softly, Sakura blinked and smiled.
�She�ll
be here soon to take your report.� His thought process was not a mystery to
her, the mission was the only thing that mattered.
Sakura
stroked his hair away from his eyes and soothed him into a doze, her hand never
stopping its comforting pattern of movement.
