An Arranged Marriage { A SasuSaku fanfic }

Chapter 11- Itachi

Sakura Uchiha. Sakura Uchiha. Sakura Uchiha. Sakura Uchiha. Sakura Uchiha.

Hmmm... It does have a nice ring to it.

AGH! Snap out of it! You're still angry, remember?!

But Sasuke's so hot!

We hate each other! Don't you remember?!

It was Karin's doing. She separated the two of you.

NO!

"Sakura, you okay?" Dad asks from across the table.

No, I'm not. In fact, I'm having anxiety thinking about the man you're forcing me to marry. "Yes, papa." I respond, continuing to look at the beautiful wedding gowns.

"Maybe you should see Mikoto for help." He suddenly says. "Here's the address." He hands it to me and practically shoves me out the door. I huff. With no choice, I head off to the Uchiha's.

I arrive in a state of pandemonium. "What's going on?!" I ask a nearby Uchiha.

"It's Itachi-san! He's sick!" The little girl responds.

"Take me to him." I respond, shouldering my small backpack with medics supplies and stuff for the wedding.

The little girl grabs my hand and drags me around the Uchiha compound and to their house. "Someone's here."

"Sakura-san?! Please, come quickly." Mikoto says, grabbing my hand and taking me down a couple hallways and into Itachi's room, where his father and brother reside.

"Get out!" Fugaku roars, most likely mistaking me for someone else.

"I'm a doctor, relax." I shove him, getting to Itachi's side and unzipping my backpack. I grab the medical supplies and drop it on the bedside table. "Alright, Itachi-san. I'm going to need you to stay calm." I tell him, and he slightly nods despite his fit. I close my eyes and put both hands on his chest, slowly breathing and trying to see if I can find the problem. There! I open my eyes and grab the pills he should be taking. I make him swallow and start to treat him. I pull out my small air pump and place it over his mouth. After a few minutes, his breathing calms, and I remove the mask. "He needs to get to the hospital, where they can remove the fluid from his lungs." I say, and at that exact moment, paramedics barge in.

"We'll take it from here, Haruno-san." A paramedic says and I nod.

"Hai." I respond, throwing out the air pump and going to wash my hands. Once done, I return to Itachi's room to grab my bag, only to notice three Uchiha's gaping at me. I smile, slinging my backpack over my shoulder. "Mikoto-san? Can you please help me pick out a wedding dress?"

"S-sure."

"Thank you for the help. I'll be off to the hospital now." I say, and the Uchiha's wave at me.

"Take care of Itachi for us." Mr. Uchiha says, and I nod.

I turn and get in my car, then drive off to the hospital.

"We need a highly skilled doctor in here, stat!" Someone yells, multiple nurses running around in panic.

"There's Sakura!" One says, grabbing me and dragging me somewhere. "This patient has a bone fracture and major trauma." He says as we enter the ICU.

"Alright. Gloves?" I ask, and he hands me a pair as I quickly throw my hair up. "Let's do this!"
~
"Excellent work as usual, Haruno-san." The doctors compliment me.

"I couldn't have done it without all of you." I respond as we head to the side room where we take off our coats and wash our hands.

"Where's the patient?!" Lady Tsunade comes in. "I got here as fast as I could."

"Sakura took care of it." A nurse responds, and I wave towards her.

"Good job, Sakura." She says, smiling at me. "Now, we need to have a talk about why you weren't in school today."
~
"So yeah, I'll be out this whole week."

"YOU AND SASUKE?! OMG!" Lady Tsunade exclaims, completely ignoring what I said.

I facepalm. "How much sake did you have before coming here?"

"WHAT WAS THAT?!"

"You're my favorite sensei." I quickly reply, and she smiles.

"I'll try and get you out of work for your classes, but I want you to be here every day for three hours. Except on Friday, of course."

"Thank you, Shishou." I hug her, then walk out of the room.
