Life Without You

Chapter One: The Lady in Blanc

In konoha Haru no Hana Hospital

  Through the chattering of the white painted corridors the sound of loud heels echoed through the halls.A beautiful but odd Pink haired doctor pushed through the crowded halls.Her vibrant green eyes scanning the hall for someone, people moved past her making way for her walk through.Most of them with respect on their faces, none daring to get in her way except for one.

  "Ino, don't try to hide get over here." Her smooth and sweet voice  called out to the blonde lady that passed by the intertwined corridor.She stop dead in her tracks and looked at the Pink haired Doctor, her face flashed towards the Lady.

  "Ah Forhead ! What is it that you need?" She said with a smile on her face.Her grin was frightened by the Pink's glare.She put on a poker face and Straightened her back.

  "Well Pig, I heard you skipped the Meeting with the president and ran off too the canteen with your Husband." She flared a glare at her friend. Ino's back slouched and her lips curved into a frown.

  " Tsunade is going to kill me." The pink whispered to herself while trying to rub her temples to relieve her stress.She looked at her Blonde friend with tired eyes and a distressed look.She formed her hand into a fist and held it tight to concentrate her anger.She let out a tired sigh and let go.

  " You.Go to Lady Tsunade and you better give her a reason why you ran off with Sai again." She grouched and stomped her red heel down to clang with the floor.Ino flinched a bit by the loud sound but was silently happy that her friend let her off with a warning.

  "Sorry Sakura," she muttered with a grin.

  " danm right you should." She grined back and slapped her friends back to the direction of The president Tsunade's office. Sakura went in the opposite direction to her office room 531 and closed the door shut.She sat down in her chair and proceeded to put on her thin black glasses and sign some papers from Suna about making a connection with their clinics and maybe send a few doctors their.

  Ever since The unknown plague swept the east with its death then spreading to the north like wild fire.So many clinics have been set up in countries and deaths happening hospitals have been flooded with patients,the cure is still being developed here in Tokyo as Konoha Haru no Hana Hospital has being working with others like Suna to fully develop a cure.And Sakura playing a big role,

  "Miss Hurano " A voice called out, Sakura's head looked up to see the face the called her.

  "Aki?what brings you here." Sakura asked the small girl in doctor's coat.She had brown hair rapped in a bun and her thick red glasses that covered her violet eyes.She shuffled through her clip board, then met her eyes back to Sakura.

  "Ah, Miss you have a patient that demands to see you. Sir Takeriōshi,." She read off her clip board.Sakura took a sigh as she tucked her glasses in her pocket and got up from her chair.Sora led her to Mr.Takeriōshi's room on the 3rd floor. They entered the room and were greeted by the yelling of a old man.Sakura looked toward the patient, his skin was wrinkly and had dark spots and dried.He had a gas mask and an IV cord attached to him.Sora handed her a gas mask that Sakura took instantly.

  "Hello sir how are you feeling today." Sakura spoke calmly as she looked at the heart monitor.The man smiled at her, he was old and that made Sakura feel bad.He nodded as he drifted his head to the right to look at a lady sitting in a chair.She stood up quickly and bowed,

  "I'm Ferra Takeriōshi, I was just wondering when I can take my grandfather home already?" She asked with a worried and nervous smile.Sakura looked at her clip board and read through the information quickly.She looked back at the Lady and gave a sad smile.

"I'm sorry Ma'am but he is still very sick and he really can't leave the hospital till we can officialise the cure of he'll infect everyone around him.Were just being safe Ma'am we also suggest you leave the room with us.The plague is Air borne the more you stay here the higher your chances are of getting sick." Sakura said in a monotone voice as she closed her clip board.The woman looked at her with sad and scared eyes, fear and sadness was clearly visible.

"O-okay,Thank you Miss." She replied in a shaky voice.She reached for her bag and followed Aki out of the room to the lobby while Sakura stayed behind.she walked to the old Man and sat down on the chair beside the bed.

  "Sir, please stay strong till we can find a cure," she said quietly to the old man.He smiled again with a care, he looked peaceful.Sakura felt guilty that she couldn't help that much, she smiled back.

"Sir you granddaughter really cares, I hope you two can go home together, Right Sir?" She asked with the same smile the same guilt in her heart that grew bigger and almost swallowed her whole.

"Yes I do.You see I'm not that afraid of death anymore she can handle herself even without me.I'm just an old geezer slowing her down by taking care of me.I hope she can move on when I die."

That made Sakura silent she understood now,

"Thank you Sir I hope you get better soon." She smiled one last time before leaving the room.As she shut the door and walked down the hall thinking of what the man said her pocket started tingling and buzzing.She reached in her pocket and grabbed her White phone too see who's calling .

Incoming call from Sarada

"Hi sweetie, you finished early today? Alright I'll come to pick you up, wait there." Sakura ended the call and slid back her phone into her pocket and walked down the stairs down to the parking lot.Unlike Mr.Takeriōshi she still had a daughter waiting for her, she stepped in her car and exited the parking lot to Sarada's school.
