Sakura woke up to the sterile white walls and ceiling of her new room. Well it wasn't new per say, she'd bought this place a few weeks ago but hadn't had the will or time to paint or unpack the boxes that were stacked up in the corner of her bedroom. She didn't even have a proper bed, just a mattress on the floor in the middle of the room.

Grabbing the blanket from her body, Sakura stood from her make shift bed and headed to the shower. Quickly stripping herself, she stepped under the water and sighed. The hot water did wonders for her aching body. Ever since her break up with Minato last month, she had been working double shifts as often as she could, just to keep busy. Her life outside Minato and work was non-existent. All of her friends were in relationships, married or busy trying to make to make a name for themselves with taking endless missions.

'Even Ino-pig is busy these days.' She smiled half heartedly as she thought about her best friend with her huge belly. 'She's do any day now.' That was her last thought before she finished up her shower and retreated back to her room. Sakura shivered slightly from the cold. She always did prefer to air dry. Thankfully it wasn't too cold in her little apartment and her body adjusted quickly. She looked down at the boxes in front of her and grabbed the one that was labeled CLOTHES, which was only one that was opened.

"Man... I really need to make time to unpack and fully settle into this place." She sighed to herself before grabbing and outfit for the day and walking back into the bathroom, dressing and brushing her teeth. All she had to do now was take a comb to the mass of tangled pick tresses that was her hair. 'My favorite part of the morning!' She thought bitterly as she raked the comb through the waist length strawberry hair. Taking a glance at herself in the mirror, she nodded in approval. Her outfit for the day consisted of a sea foam green, form fitting t- shirt and her usual short black tights. Throwing on her black calf high nin boot and white coat, the pinkette headed to work.

The entire day went by so quickly. It was well after 1 in the morning and Sakura was exhausted. She had pulled another double. She was on her way to clock out for the day before a nurse with short black hair and came running up to her, clip board in hand.

"Sakura-sama! I'm glad I caught you before you went home. There's a woman here that is demanding you assistance. We keep sending in staff to help her but she keeps turning them away. She said that she won't allow anyone to check her beside you. Would you mind seeing her before you leave for the night."

'God damn it! I was so close to my bed...' God, she could roll her eyes right now but she held that action back and forced a smile on her face. Even though she was known for her temper, throwing a tantrum right not now would not get her home right now.

"I'll do it but you are buying me lunch tomorrow. A favor for a favor, right Shiki-san?" The nurse gave nervous smile and nodded hesitantly.

"S-sure Sakura-sama. Its room 213." Sakura nodded and headed to the direction of the room. A small part of her felt a bit guilty messing with the woman. It was just a spur of the moment thing that she would forget all about by tomorrow.

Sakura reached the room in a few moments and she could not believe what she was seeing as she rounded the corner to see last patient for the night. Low and behold, the only man she ever loved had been there. Sitting on the hospital bed, hunched over slightly with his hand clutching the lower left side of his torso which had been stained in blood. His beautiful face was twisted in pain slightly; clearly the wound must have been extremely painful.

Sakura almost ran to him, she wanted to but the site before her made her freeze in place. He was not alone. She' was there. Her, that woman. That beautiful red headed woman that had brought all Sakura's insecurities to the surface with one glance.
