Naruto Fanfic - Blood Rage (SasoSaku)

Chapter V

Wow, you're still with me. Thank you so much. This story is taking longer than I thought and I think there's still a long way left to go.

PART ONE 

Chapter V - The Training Session

1.

After all the commotion outside, the students slowly piled back into the classrooms ready for their next class. Sakura recovered and walked back to her desk unassisted. Sasori sat at the back staring at her longingly. Sakura just ignored him. She didn't need the headache of some weird freak entering her life. She had a boyfriend now and she was happy.

Two people who hadn't returned to their desks were Temari and Shikamaru. Kakashi called out their names but they weren't there.

Shikamaru knew he was going to get in trouble and he somewhat regretted helping this girl out but he couldn't resist. Anyway, he thought she was pretty cute. He loved her blonde hair and shapely body and carrying her was no effort at all. He enjoyed holding her soft thighs and wondered how a girl so petite could have such a fierce reputation for being so tough.

Shikamaru carried Temari into the infirmary.

"Ok Shikamaru, you can stop acting all macho now. I know you must be hurting. You can put me down here."

Shikamaru laughed. His arms did ache a little. He placed Temari down on the chair. The nurse came in. She was a rather elderly lady who had been at the school for years. She wore thick-rimmed glasses and walked with a slight hunch.

"Is everything ok here?"

"It's just Temari, she just hurt her ankle slightly."

"Let me have a look," the nurse said. The nurse bent down and lifted Temari's leg up to inspect an ankle.

"Yep, it's twisted. It's going to need a bandage. Would you like to do the honours?" the nurse said pointing at Shikamaru.

"Me?

He knew this was all going to be more trouble than it was worth but he was here now and it was hard to say no.

"I assume you're her knight in shining armour." The nurse said.

"Yes" said Temari with a snigger. "The brave hero here rescued me from the evil villains."

"I wouldn't really put it like that. I barely know her. There was a fight outside. I'm just helping her out."

The nurse chuckled to herself. She had seen this story a thousand times before and a thousand times before a romance had blossomed. Some had a happy ending, some didn't. The nurse always wondered what would happen to them and how their story would end up.

The nurse handed Shikamaru the bandage. He removed Temari's shoe and sock. He didn't want to get too close. He wasn't trying to touch her inappropriately or anything. He was a bit worried how Temari would react. She didn't seem angry at all though. She just watched as Shikamaru placed the bandage around her ankle. When he was finished he handed it back to the nurse.

"Would you like a wheelchair?" The nurse asked.

"No, no, it's ok." Temari said still slightly wincing from the pain.

"Haha, no one ever chooses the wheelchair," the nurse said. "I just thought I'd ask."

What a stubborn girl, Shikamaru thought to himself.

Shikamaru placed his arm around Temari's back.

"So, I suppose I'm going to have to carry you back to class now. It would make this whole situation complete then."
