Lessons
It's only been a week but it feels like forever since I was allowed to write. Mom duties and all that.
She blinked at the blinding light. Groaning at the pain, Sakura raised a hand to cover her face.
“Don't” A woman's voice stopped her as quickly as the hand that grasped her wrist.
“Wha...what happened?” She could feel a bed underneath her body and smelled...bleach. “I'm in the hospital?”
“Later. I need to ask you a couple questions. And keep your eyes closed.” Shizune stated before letting go of her.
“Okay.” Sakura could hear the rustle of paper and the scritch of a pen.
“Who are you?”
“Haruno Sakura”
“Where were you last?”
“Training grounds?” Her brow furrowed in concentration.
“Let me rephrase, what is the last thing you remember doing?”
“Eating dango and drinking tea at the dango shop with you.”
“I see. When-”
“Shizune, why are you treating me for concussion? The light's a bit blinding and is causing my head to hurt but other than that, I'm fine.”
“Sakura, you ate dango with me two days ago. I've been asking the same questions for two days.”
“That can't be right. I wouldn't be here for just a concussion.” Sakura voiced her shock and tried to sit up only to be forcefully held down.
“Sakura...listen to Shizune.” Kakashi growled and squeezed Sakura's arms in warning.
“Kakashi? What happened?”
“Do you remember sparring with Lee-san and Neji-san?” Shizune asked.
“No.” She felt Kakashi release her arms but kept a hand near her hip. Sakura moved her hand enough that she could touch his fingertips.
“You and Team Gai were in Training Field 12. Somehow you managed to get hit by Lee-san only to fall into Neji-san while he was executing his Kaiten.”
“Holy Hell?! Is that even possible?”
“Sakura?” Kakashi raised an eyebrow at her comment.
“She will have moments like this, remember?” Shizune tried to comfort Kakashi.
“What? Didn't read him the list Shizune?” Sakura peevishly lectured. “There are three grades of concussions: mild, moderate, and you're screwed. Your reactions say that I have the latter. Signs and symptoms include severe headaches, dizziness, vomiting blah blah. Symptoms last from several hours to weeks depending on the seriousness of the injury.” She opened her eyes and looked over towards Shizune, her skin taking a lovely gray-greenish hue.
“I'm going to be sick.”
“It's the least you deserve for acting like an ass when you have a head injury.” Shizune pointed out while holding a basin to the side of Sakura's mouth. There was a gurgling sound in the background. “Damn it Kakashi! Don't tell me you're a sympathetic vomiter!”
After cleaning them up, tucking her in, and generally doping Sakura as much as quasi-legal and ethically possible, Shizune quietly said her goodbyes. Kakashi sat down next to Sakura's bed once the door swished shut. She kept her eyes closed.
“Sooo...you want to have sex after my head stops hurting?” She listened as Kakashi forgot how to breathe. A series of coughing fits later and he seemed to inhale correctly.
“You going to be mad when I remind you that you asked?” His voice harsh from the coughing.
“That wasn't a no sempai.”
