Deterioration,
Chapter 4
______________________________
Sakura
walked into Tsunade�s office yawning and covering her
mouth. Shizune was perched on the desk whispering
animatedly to her Hokage. Having run into Shizune at the hospital earlier that morning Sakura was
already well aware of the rumors being spread about her.
The
rumors were of varying natures about a similar theme having to do with her
seduction of Hayate in the hospital on many occasions. Those she didn�t mind as
much except that Shizune told her she suspected Genma
of personally spreading them.
The
only one that didn�t follow that theme really bothered her. It claimed that she
only went on a date with Gekkou Hayate to make his
last run a little better. Sakura had nearly crushed her coffee mug in her hands
at hearing the ridiculous reason. Besides the fact that it stung something deep
inside of her that thought it might be true.
Seeing
Sakura�s entrance Tsunade immediately stood so that she could be seen clearly
over the stacks of papers and scrolls littering her desk.
�Sakura! Do we need to have a talk about workplace appropriate
behavior?� Tsunade shuffled piles out of the way to make more room while
motioning to a chair in front of her desk.
�NO!
Shizune what did you tell her? I told you to spread a
truthful rumor this morning!� Sakura
said exasperated.
�I�m
only joking Sakura. So how is he doing?� Tsunade grinned and sat back down as
Sakura also took a seat. She had to scoot the chair over in order to see in between
the stacks of paper.
�Other
than the difficulty breathing due to the deterioration of the lining of his
lungs you mean?� Sakura said slumping down in the semi-comfy cushions.
Clenching
her jaw and holding her tongue in check Tsunade continued. �Yes other than
that.� Shizune kicked her leg as another warning. �As
you know I�m well aware of his condition.�
�Tired,
but that�s about it I think.� Sakura offered. Tsunade a made a sound of
understanding and began scratching at some papers with a pen.
Shizune started organizing a few piles with practiced ease as Sakura
watched and waited for more of a response.
�Isn�t
there another ijutsu we could try? This one doesn�t
seem to be working as well anymore�� She stood and went to the book shelf where
Tsunade kept her personal collection. Tsunade put her pen through a document
and gritted her teeth. �Something stronger we could try-�
�Go
find a human sacrifice and then we�ll talk.� Tsunade said glaring at her
student. Sakura smacked a book she had been pulling out back into its place.
�Tsunade-sama,
Sakura just wants to help.� Shizune said quietly. �We
think this is how the ijutsu works. The first time we
performed it he only came back once that year. The intervals have been getting
shorter now.� Sakura fiddled with the kunai holder strapped to her thigh. �It
might not be the ijutsu that�s to blame��
�I�ve
already thought of that! I just thought, maybe�there
was something we could try?� She walked over to the desk and leaned her hands
on the polished surface.
�You
know I�m looking Sakura. I�ve even asked other villages to lend me anything
that may be of use.� Tsunade reached under her desk and pulled out a cup and a container
of sake. �We�ll just have to work with what we have.�
Shizune glared down at the filling cup but decided not to comment.
Nothing was said for a few moments as Tsunade tried to calm her nerves. Sakura
noticed she seemed a bit more agitated than usual.
�Now
that you�re closer to Hayate-kun we
can get a better idea of his deteri-uh-progress.� Shizune said removing the cup from Tsunade�s
hand as she went to pour a third helping.
�I�m
not doing this to be his personal nurse!� Sakura fumed. �And I do not call him kun!� Sakura headed for the door.
�That�s
not a bad thought.� Tsunade considered while taking a drink directly from the
container. �But be careful Sakura, you started taking care of him as a medic nin. I�m not saying you�re not
genuinely attracted to him or whatever, just�be careful.�
______________________________
Sakura
stood outside Hayate�s apartment, the back of her
hand raised in preparation to knock. Did she just feel some displaced emotions
of care for the man? Or, was she in fact, pitying him?
She�d thought about it constantly in the couple of days following their date as
she went on another scouting mission.
A
rather loud cough issued from behind the door snapping her out of her thoughts.
Quickly rapping the wood she didn�t wait for a response as went to turn the
door knob. At least she knew she was at the right door.
�Hayate?�
�Come
in.� He called. �I was wondering how long you were going to stand out there.�
Sakura took in her surroundings as she entered. The living room was rather
large, with only a countertop separating the kitchen on her right from the rest
of the room. A hallway was off to the left and a couch against the wall next to
it.
�Sorry.
I was wondering if I had the right place.� Sakura said spotting him on the
couch with a book in his hand. He looked comfortable without his gear on and
only the black jounin outfit.
He
stood and motioned her forward. Sakura continued to glance around, taking in
his possessions which included a very elegant looking katana hanging from the
wall. He smiled at her curious glances until she stopped in front of him.
Reaching up Sakura placed her hands on his shoulders for balance before giving
him a quick peck on the cheek.
�A house visit and a kiss.� He commented as she leaned back.
�Well
we haven�t seen each other in a few days.� Hayate�s
hands rested on her hips as he considered how beautiful she really was. The
early morning light playing across her smooth white skin only enhanced her
natural good looks. �Something on my face?� She
teased.
�No.�
His calm examination of her made one light eyebrow rise.
�Are
you still half asleep? I thought I might have come to early�� She walked
towards the opposite wall and a couple of bamboo swords leaning there along
with an ANBU issued katana.
Hayate�s fingers slid across the exposed skin of her hip as she drew
away from him. Sakura hid a shiver and considered the mounted katana on the
wall above the others. It looked old, the strapping around the hilt a faded midnight blue and black.
She
reached to touch it but dropped her hand to one of the practice swords,
gripping the hilt and bringing it up and back around towards the room. Hayate
caught the �blade� before it could smack into his side. Surprised Sakura let
go, she hadn�t heard him move closer.
�I�ve
been up for awhile.� He leaned in close and placed the sword back against the
wall. Sakura watched his dark eyes move past her own as he then reached up and
removed the katana from the wall. �You can look at it if you want Sakura.�
Tentatively
she wrapped her fingers around the proffered hilt and drew it out of its worn
black sheath. It was too long for her arm and he drew his arm back as well so
that it slipped from the sheath.
It
was heavier than she expected and much longer than the ANBU ones she was used to
practicing with. It was also extremely beautiful and sharp as she soon found
out. Pressing her palm delicately against the blade drew a line of crimson
across her pale skin.
�Careful.
I take good care of this one.� Hayate lifted the blade away from her palm and
pressed his thumb to the clean cut.
Sakura
pooled a little chakra into her hand and the cut sealed within moments. Hayate
watched interested until she bunched her now healed hand into her shirt and
wiped the blade clean.
�I
can see that.� Sakura replied. �Maybe you should show as much care with your
own body. I thought I told you to rest, why are you up so early?�
�Well
we have to go to the hospital soon�You�ve come to pick me up I suspect?� He
partially answered her question while moving behind her.
It
was sufficient enough to distract her and she turned her head to watch him
attach the hilt to his side. He smiled and placed his hands on top of hers
around the hilt, moving her into a readying position with the blade pointed
down and to the left.
�You
act like you�ve never held one.� He commented.
�Well
I wasn�t exactly planning on attacking anyone.� Sakura replied quickly.
Hayate
smiled and stepped into her until his front was flush with her back. Sakura
stiffened a little at the close contact but he only proceeded to move their
arms around together, causing her to focus on the smooth motions.
He
moved the katana�s blade in a quick arc, then back to
a defensive position only to swing it back around again. It was kind of fun,
her body seemed to be moving on its own without her. Just giving into his
body�s will and going along for the ride.
Sakura
laughed out loud with exhilaration when he swept them around and into a
crouched position, the katana pointed straightforward. It was like a dance, the
moves he was teaching her body.
Smiling
Hayate drew them both slowly back up and pressed himself
against her comfortably. Sakura turned to look at him, and smiled devilishly. She
tilted her head a little and he moved his face closer, as if to kiss her. At
the same time she removed her left hand, with his following and lowered it to
his side.
�We
should get going.� She whispered, grabbing the sheath and sliding the katana
quickly home.
�Ah.�
He answered and squeezed her a little closer still, using
his right arm across her body, still attached at her hand.
He
let go and left her standing in the living room, turning slightly to grin at
her. �Just let me get dressed.� Sakura blinked
slowly, it wasn�t easy to rile him, she realized. In fact, he seemed to have
the upper hand, which made her frown and smile at the same time.
______________________________
A muffled thud and some cursing stirred Sakura enough to open an
eye and look around. Another medic had collapsed on the outside of the ring of
seals. A young kunoichi was the one cursing, trying
to drag the man out of the way so that another medic could take his place.
The
medics collapsing caused a ripple in the chakra being fed into her�s and Tsunade�s pool of use.
The last medic standing quickly took a seat and began making hand seals before
the slacking flow of chakra picked back up, rushing through Sakura�s left arm.
Frankly,
Sakura was at a loss as to what to do. The hemorrhaging tissue was increasing
in Hayate�s lower left lung and barely stayed healed
for more than a week and half now. Her own chakra was running low already,
carefully guiding the other medic nin and ijutsu built chakra into the shinobi�s
body only lessened the strain slightly on her supply.
�I
think we�re almost done.� Tsunade mumbled.
�Mm.� Sakura agreed and increased her relentless attack upon Hayate�s renegade cells.
�There�s
quite a bit of dead tissue building up in his lungs�� Tsunade said simply.
Sakura had noticed it as well and hope he was getting enough oxygen as he lay
there.
Opening
her eyes fully she looked at his face, his lips were a little purple and again
his body was covered in goose bumps. Suddenly, his chest heaved, and both
Tsunade and Sakura ripped there hands away in surprise.
Whipping
himself onto his hands and knees he started coughing. The young kunoichi started forward before Tsunade halted her.
�Don�t
step inside the seal! Go see if Shizunes back yet!
Quick!� With a hurried affirmation the girl shot around the seal and up the
stairs. �Just breathe Hayate�that�s it, slow.�
Sakura
tried to stay in her position and placed her palms on his back trying to help.
He continued to cough, producing the dead tissue and some old blood. Sakura
thumped him on the back trying to loosen what was in there, but a splattering
of blood erupted with another fit of coughing.
�Goddamnit he�s tearing his lungs already!� Tsunade quickly
glanced around the circle finding the four medic nin still in place but wide eyed and weary. �Sakura are you still in position?�
�Yes!
I�m already trying to stop the tearing.� Her eyes closed, one hand pressed to
his back and the other looped under pressed to his chest.
�S-sorry�.�
Hayate croaked opening his eyes a little bit.
�Just
don�t move anymore, it�s amazing you�re still connected to the seal.� Tsunade
mumbled working with Sakura on his left lung until another medic nin collapsed a few minutes later,
braking the itl for good. �Well that was fun...�
�Are
you okay?� Sakura whispered helping him to sit back on the ground. He tried to
smile but coughed softly into his hand. Sakura rubbed her palm up and down his
back trying to erase the goose bumps.
The
young kunoichi rushed back into the room with two
female medic nins in tow.
They descended upon Hayate with blankets and asked Tsunade if they could remove
their unconscious comrades.
�Use
the stretcher, Hayate won�t need it. No take him first, I think he�s been lying
on the ground for an hour now�.� Tsunade directed the fresh and tried medics
about as Sakura lugged Hayate to his feet.
They
moved toward the stairwell until he stopped walking and looked down at her.
Sakura looked up expectantly, shifting her grip around his waist.
�I
can�t go upstairs like this�� His voice was rough and it sounded painful.
�Why not?� Sakura said
glancing him over. Maybe he wasn�t well enough to walk up the flight of stairs.
�Because I�m naked.� He said and dropped the blanket from around his
body.
�Well
you wouldn�t be if you kept the blanket on�� Sakura mumbled but left him
leaning against the wall as she grabbed the clothing lying in pile outside the
seal.
The
medics were carting each other up the stairs with Tsunade following, carrying
the supplies they�d used.
�You�re
not going upstairs like that are you?� She shot as she passed Hayate, who
smiled in response. �Sakura! Remember what I said
about workplace appropriate behavior!�
She
disappeared before Sakura could think of something to say, leaving her blushing
and handing Hayate a pair light blue draw string pants.
�Should
I be worried?� He ground out as the pants slipped up his thighs, Sakura�s eyes
following their movement. �Guess I should be�� Blushing more fiercely Sakura
ripped her eyes away and held up the matching shirt.
�Just
get dressed and you won�t have to worry.�
______________________________
�Am
I interrupting something?� The voice, although soft, caused Sakura�s head to
whip up. A pounding and rushing seemed to fill her skull with the sudden
movement and made her regret sitting up so fast.
�Uhg! Damnit��
Pressing the heal of her palm against her forehead she
realized she fell asleep on Hayate�s chest when she
was checking his heartbeat. It wasn�t exactly necessary to check using her
hearing but it seemed extremely appealing after she induced a sleep like state
for him.
�He
looks out of it�Can he really go on the mission tonight?� Sakura was surprised
to see Naruto half leaning over her. He started to wave his hand frantically
above Hayate�s face.
�Knock
it off! Yes he can go, I put him under so that he could get some sleep is all.�
Sakura pushed Naruto�s hand away and assessed his outfit.
He
had his hitai-ate capped around his head to hide most of his bright hair and
was dressed in a normal jounin outfit complete with
guards for his arms and legs.
�I
didn�t know you were on his team.� Sakura said rubbing her eyes and stretching
her arms painfully.
�Yeah? Well I didn�t know you were dating him.� Blinking a few times she turned and stared at her old
teammate. He refused to meet her gaze and continued to stare at Hayate,
sleeping blissfully unaware.
�I�m
sorry Naruto�Really it�s been only one date and I thought you�d hear-�
�Oh
I heard all right.� Sakura frowned as he gave her an odd look.
�And
whom did you hear it from?� She asked suspiciously.
�Genma! Sakura I cannot believe you! How come I never got care like
that?� He started before Sakura decided she didn�t want to hear anything else.
�Naruto you idiot! I didn�t have sex
with Hayate in the hospital!� Naruto had raised his finger to point at her but
dropped it quickly and looked sheepish. �Why the hell would you believe
anything Genma has to say?�
�Sorry
Sakura-chan. Does seem kind of unlike you when I
think about it�� He said smiling as Sakura gave him a friendly punch to the
side. Then he frowned in concentration. �That bastard!
I�m gonna kick Shiranui�s
ass!�
Laughing
quietly Sakura went back to watching Hayate shift in his sleep, eyes moving
rapidly under his lids. Naruto stepped closer adjusting his hitai-ate,
tightening it and pulling his hair out from underneath it. Naruto thought the
man looked extremely unhealthy, dark circles still present under his eyes and
ribs noticeable through the shirt.
�Is
he really okay to go?� He asked kneeling down closer to Sakura�s level.
She
reached out a hand and turned Hayate�s face towards
them, moving his hair away from his face gently as well. Her palm slid under
his shirt up his stomach and chest as she tried to gather enough chakra to
explore his lungs.
Assessing
with a keen eye, Naruto was surprised by what he thought her actions held. He
glanced at the man again, but it didn�t help him in understanding at all.
Her
arm started to shake from lack of chakra so he reached out a hand and pressed
chakra between her shoulder blades. Sakura smiled and used his unruly chakra
which he was successfully pumping into her at an easy rate. They�d done this
before, when there was an emergency on a mission or she needed a boost, but it
usually ended with painful chakra burning and some muscle tearing for Sakura.
�He�s
doing fine. I can wake him up anytime now.� Naruto nodded but kept up the slow
river of chakra into her even though she stopped using it.
�You
can stop.� Sakura said turning to him as he sized Hayate up. �Really, I�ll be
good after some sleep�besides, Its chakra makes me
restless.� Naruto blinked in surprise and withdrew his hand.
�Really?�
�Yeah. It�s not a bad thing, but it does feel weird.� Sakura said
kindly, squeezing his shoulder. �But I wouldn�t mind having some the next time
we go on a mission.�
�Well
I�ve got plenty to go around.� Naruto grinned sitting down on the ground.
A
few minutes passed as Sakura leaned on the bed and watched the sleeping man. Naruto watching them both and trying to remain still.
�Are
you worried about him?� Naruto said quietly, breaking the silence of the hospital
room.
�No, why?� Sakura bristled, refusing to look at her friend.
�Oh�No reason really.� Naruto muttered and stood, brushing his hands over
his thighs. �You should probably wake him now. We need to get going soon.�
Nodding,
Sakura placed her hands on Hayate�s face, thumbs
pressing his cheek bones. His eyes creased open as he gulped his sore throat,
taking a look around.
�Time to get going Hayate.� Sakura smiled softly.
Smiling
warmly back he sat up, rubbing his face before giving Naruto a wave in
greeting. Sakura and Naruto waited behind the curtain she drew as Hayate pulled
all of his gear together and readied himself.
�Ready.�
He said stepping out, still adjusting the katana across his back.
�Ossu!� Naruto grinned and opened
the hospital room�s door.
�Come
back quick.� Sakura said kissing him on the side of the mouth. Hayate ran his
hand through her long hair and went to join Naruto.
�His
mommy didn�t name him Hayate for nothin�!� Naruto wrapped
his arm companionably around the shorter mans shoulders.
�I�ll
see you in a few days Sakura.� Hayate followed Naruto out of the room with
Sakura staying behind in his hospital room watching their quick and purposeful
retreat from the door.
______________________________
Oooooooooh, sword innuendo! Sort of�
Naruto
is referring to the fact that Hayate�s name, I�m pretty sure, means quick as wind.
