“House Call”
It was raining that night. The winds howled and played an eerie song through the leaves in the forest. Sakura was just finishing up her paperwork at the hospital when a knock on the door jarred her thoughts.
“It’s getting late, I thought you might like an escort on your way home.”
She smiled at the young man’s offer. “Thank you, but I have to make a house call on the way.”
“It’s late. And storming. It’s dangerous.”
“I’m a kunoichi, I’ll be all right on my own, thank you.”
The man in the doorway ran a hand through his hair and glanced at her, frustrated. “You wouldn’t let me walk you home that night, either. Look what ended up hap-”
Sakura pushed back her chair and stood. “That’s enough, Naruto.”
The two stared at each other for a few moments before the blonde backed down. “I’m allowed to worry about my precious people. Let me walk you,” his sad eyes pleading with her, “please?”
She shook her head and turned off her desk lamp. “I’m sorry, Naruto. I don’t know how long I’ll be.”
“Is he in that bad of a condition?”
“You were there to see the result, you tell me.”
“Aren’t you the one with the medical expertise?”
She sighed. He crossed his arms across his chest.
“He’s mending well physically, but I. . .” her voice trailed as she glanced at the semi-faded picture of her old Genin cell.
“He probably doesn’t want you there. You know how gloomy he gets when it rains.”
She shook her head. “His eyes don’t say that when he looks at me.”
Naruto raised an eyebrow. “You not only possess great strength and medical skill, but you read eyes as well?”
“Anyone can read eyes. You do.”
“So what are mine saying?”
She raised her eyes from the papers in her hands. “Don’t make me say it, Naruto.”
“What do they say, Sakura? Or do you only read eyes with no life in them?” Naruto’s voice rose and he clenched his hands into fists.
“His eyes have life in them, Naruto. It’s just harder to see. Your eyes are easy to read. You wear your heart on your sleeve and don’t see the point in guarding your emotions. You’re an open book, so to speak. But he’s lived most of his life with his heart locked away. Caring meant weakness which meant he couldn’t defeat Itachi. But that’s in the past, and he’s learning, Naruto. Back then, you wanted and believed in his ability to feel more than I did. What changed?”
“He left.”
“But we brought him back.”
The rain pounded against the windows of the office as Sakura picked up her umbrella and walked past Naruto. He followed her to the front of the hospital and prepared to follow her into the summer storm. “Stay here, Naruto. A captain should look after his subordinates.”
“What does that make you?”
“Your doctor and fellow Sannin. Now go watch over Hinata. I’m sure she’ll appreciate your smiling face being there when she wakes up.” And with that, the medic-nin opened her umbrella and headed to the Uchiha estate to check in on her patient, who was surely gloomy due to the weather. She knew he would welcome her, no matter what her blonde friend said.
