Cherry Blossoms (SasuHina)

4.

Sasuke POV

I woke up with a start as I heard birds chirping, and I felt the sun hitting my face. What alarmed me was the all familiar smell of Hospital.

That smell of anguish, depression and hope. All bundled up in one. An all too familiar scent that I detested.

Sakura always had this smell that covered her from head to toe and I hated it. Reminded me of things I'd rather not remember.

There was also a different smell and I blinked a couple of times to get my eyes used to the brightness in the room.

sweet, something sweet, like flowers, like a warm scent that calmed your senses and distracted you from worries.

I eyed the head on the bed next to me. She was sitting on the chair and had her head laid on the bed.

I frowned that must be uncomfortable. All of the events came to me at once. I frowned, glancing at the dark head I started to move but froze as the door opened, and Hinata woke up blinking up at me as I was in the process of getting out of bed.

"Good morning! Well how are you feeling... oh Hina did you sleep sitting down? Are you ok?" Ino passed by me and went to Hinata.

"I'm fine, Sasuke how are you feeling?" Hinata asked me softly, I looked towards her as she stood stretching her arms and then hugging herself.

It was cold in this room. She had a beige sweater. And she held it more close to her. Her hair was still long. She seemed so different then the Hinata I knew.

She blinked and I looked away I had stared to long. I heard a giggle but ignored Ino.

"Better." I said I felt my frown return on my face. My mind on everything currently going on.

"Alright so there really isn't any reason to keep you here so you can leave. Your fever broke yesterday in the night, Hinata recorded that on your sheet. She's been monitoring you and she also fed you the medicine to replenish your vitals. So your good. Hinata works magic. Besides I think a warm home that can be provided for you is better then this cold hospital room." Ino said happily as she read over her clipboard.

I looked towards Hinata who yawned but covered her mouth in a very Lady like way.

"We can go Sasuke I know how much you hate hospitals." Hinata said after she finished yawing sending me a warm smile. A smile that illuminated her face, and made her aura brighten around her.

"Ahh wait before that Naruto said to meet him in the Hokage office first."

Ino taps her pen on the clipboard and walked away.

"Sasuke I'll meet you at home if that's ok, or would you rather I come with you?" She asked hurriedly, twiddling her fingers.

I shook my head and put my sandals on that were beside the bed.

I sighed running my hand through my hair. I walked out and towards the Hokage tower.

I stared around but everything seemed normal. People talked, walked, ran to do their business.

I got lots of glances and stares as I walked through. I got irritated and jumped on the roofs getting to the Hokage tower faster.

Knocking twice, the door opened and Shikamaru was there moving aside so I could go in.

Naruto was busy reading and stamping papers. He put the paper in his hand aside as he looked up at me with a grin.

"How are you feeling?" He asked loudly I winced at his loud voice.

"Better." I said through gritted teeth at the pain in my temples.

"You know I'm still not sure what to think of this situation to be honest I'm really worried on what possible outcomes could happen.. mainly the bad ones. But for now I think it would be better if you staid in Konoha.
