The song for this chapter is, one of my favorite female artists:
That I Would Be Good- Alanis Morissette
that i would be good even if i did nothing
that i would be good even if i got the thumbs down
that i would be good if a got and stayed sick
that i would be good even if i gained ten pounds
that i would be fine even if i went bankrupt
that i would be good if i lost my hair and my youth
that i would be great if i was no longer queen
that i would be grand if i was not all knowing
that i would be loved even when i'm not myself
that i would be good even when i'm overwhelmed
that i would be loved even when i was fuming
that i would be good even if i was clinging
that i would be good even if i lost sanity
that i would be good whether with or without you
Chapter 6
Sakura swung by her apartment to take a quick shower and change her clothes. After she finished, she packed a change of clothes and her shower gel in her backpack. She planed to just sleep at the hospital to save time. After braiding her hair and grabbing a soda, she was out the door.
By the time she got to the hospital, it was 6pm. Man, I'm gonna get killed she thought. As she was clocking back in, she saw Shizune.
"Where have you been? Uchiha is refusing to talk to anyone but you and Tsunade. And we both know Tsunade isn't gonna hang around here for too long. You need to get your butt up there, stat!"
Sakura scratched the back of her neck. "Huh. Well, I guess it's nice to be wanted." She went running up the stairs. She could of taken the elevator, but given a choice, she would always choose the stairs. Four flights of stairs were good for keeping her legs toned.
She paused at the metal security door of the ANBU section and took a deep breath and swiped her ID to enter the ward. She pulled the door shut behind her and almost ran into Sasuke. "How did you get out of your room?" she asked him.
He chuckled, "Lady Tsunade disabled the lock, she's gonna move me in the morning. I'll still have ANBU guards, but at least I can move around the hospital."
"Oh, well that's good, if you want we can go out in the waiting area. There's alot of windows and some chairs and couches. We could sit out there," she suggested.
"That would be cool. There's no windows in here. I mean, I know why, but still," he shrugged.
"I just have to let the guards know, I'll be right back."
Indifferent as ever, Sasuke simply shrugged.

Sasuke leaned his head back, basking in the fading sunlight.
Sakura notice the dark circles under his eyes. "Sasuke-kun?"
"Yeah?" he answered, without opening his eyes.
"Are you sleeping okay? You look really tired."
"Are you asking because you're a medic or because you care?" came his semi-tearse reply.
"Both. I never stopped caring about you, even when I really tried. I always wondered. Kami, you must think I'm a idiot," she said, looking downward.
"No, I don't think that at all. I'm glad you care about me. Because when Naruto found me tredging across the Fire-Lightning border, I thought he was gonna kill me. Instead he saves my life! He stopped the ANBU squad, 'cause they had 'termiate upon sight' orders for me.Well, it was Naruto and a deer-masked ninja, she was the scariest chick I've ever been around. You look cute in scrubs," he said grinning at her.
Sakura turned bright red. "Thank you, you look cute in hospital pj's. Now, answer the question, please."
He smiled. "I guess flattery won't get me anywhere with you," He paused to laugh. "To answer your question, not very well. The less I sleep, the less I have to remember in dreams. Guilt is bitch."
"Sasuke-kun, if you ever need to talk, just find me. Okay?"
"Sure, just wait until you have a date. Nah, I'm joking, I wouldn't really do that," he said with a grin.
"What dates? I haven't been on a real date in, like ever. Wow! Now I'm depressed," she said laughing.
"Everyone should want to date you, Sakura. You really haven't ever been on a date? Not even with Naruto?"
"Well yeah, Naruto has bought me ramen before and he bought me lunch today, but that doesn't count."
"Why wouldn't it count? Because you don't like him? That's just silly, at least he cares enough to drag you out of this place every now and then," he said smiling at her, knowing he'd touched a nerve.
"Yeah, we're not going there. He's lucky I haven't killed him yet," she said, frowning.
"I'll have to take you out to dinner sometime. Y'know, when I'm out and have some money."
"Okay, that sounds good. Wanna talk about your guilt? So, maybe you can sleep tonight?" she asked trying to change the subject.
"Not really, I want to hear about you. I've heard some things the some of the medics up here have been saying, and they aren't very nice. What's up with that?" he asked her, playing with lock of her hair.
She sighed and looked out the window, "I know what they're saying about me, after all they've been saying the same shit for 3 years now. You'd think they woulda moved on by now." She stood up and walked over to the door, looked up at the camera and nodded. When she got back to the sitting area she said, "Sorry, I told them every 30 minutes I would check in."
He shrugged, "It's okay. Honestly, I didn't even think they'd let me out here without ANBU."
"They know I can take care of myself. You don't get to be a jounin by being dead weight."
"You a jounin? Oh please. Next you're gonna tell me that Nauruto is the Sixth," he laughed in disbelief.
"What's so damn funny? I am a jounin and Naruto's a chunin. He trained with Jiriaya for two and a half years, Tusnande will move him up to jounin soon.We all trained with the Sannin, go figure," she said, a little more huffy than she intended.
He laughed at her huffiness. "You know what I think? I think you're in love with Naruto don't want to admit it."
He smiled at her, watching the blush creep across her face.
"Naruto is my best friend," she said sharply.
"With 'benefits', I hear," he retorted "and I also hear you like 'em, oh about 14 years older."
She looked at him with a cold look in her eyes, "Yeah, I also slept with Kankuro and that's it. I am not a slut!"
Damn, she's pissed, he thought, with an amused smirk. "Oh, a swing and a miss! I wasn't even thinking that, you're a ninja not a slut. But I know, people have small minds. Just remember the people calling you that have even worse things they're hiding," he told her, playing with her hair again.
"Yeah you're right. They want to point he finger at me to take all the attention off of their shady crap. Of course I love Naruto, he's my best friend. However, I'm not in love with him," she shrugged her shoulders, "Kakashi was just one of those things that happened on a mission and continued, Kankuro was once and I was drunk."
He watched her turn pink to red as she told him everything. She's dying of embarassment telling me this stuff, he thought, smiling at her. "Sakura?"
"Yeah?"
"It's been thirty minutes."
"Frick! Be right back."
He watched her walk to the camera, damn, she's a hot lil' package, he thought.
As she walked back over to the couches, she noticed the strange look on his face. Now what? I hope he isn't thinking bad things about me, she thought.
On the contrary, he was thinking about what he wanted to do to her.

"So Sakura, Tsunade tells me that the Uchiha compund is no more. Can I crash at your place when I get out?" he said, mostly because she was so cute when she blushed.
"Uh, I suppose that would be okay, I live in a one-bedroom though, you'd have to sleep on the couch," she could feel her face turning even redder.
"Oh no, I plan on sleeping with you," he said with an amused look
"Um... Now what in the hell am I supposed to say to that? I thought I annoyed you?" she said.
"You did annoy me, when we were twelve years old. Now is totally different," Sasuke said as he walked up behind her. In the reflection of the window, he saw the fear in her eyes. He couldn't blame her, the last time he was this close to her he had a kunai knife to her throat. He put his hand on her shoulder and felt her stiffen, he sighed. "Sakura, I'm not going to hurt you."
"I know, it's just..." she trailed off as he caught her gaze in the reflection.
"Sakura, I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you," he said, wrapping his arms around her. He watched her expression change in the window. He rested his chin on her shoulder and inhaled her scent. He felt her finally relax and then she laced her fingers with his. They stood quietly starring out into the slowly darkening sky.

Sorry, I usually only have 1 song per chapter, but this one seemed perfect for Sasuke:
Sick Cycle Carousel-Lifehouse
If shame had a face
I think it would kind of
Look like mine.
If it had a home
Would it be my eyes
Would you believe me
If I said I'm tired of this
Now here we go
One more time
I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low
I could get to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
You better believe
I tried to beat this
