DUNDUN DUH!!!!! Last chapter boys and girls enjoy!! And as per usual I have no rights to Naruto.
Another double shift containing 3 surgeries, various rounds and the standard checkups, saw Sakura in her office head resting on crossed arms as she leaned on top of her desk, willing her stomach to settle and the feeling of nausea to pass. Damn Shishou's going kill me not to mention Ibiki and the others if they find out I made myself sick again the pink haired medic realised. Sitting up straight she grabbed a file from the endless pile on her desk and began going over the case just as the there was a knock on the door.
"Come in" she commanded with out even raising her head until the door closed behind whoever came in.
"Hi Shizune . . . . what's wrong?" she said surprised to see the dark haired medic standing before her with her hands on her hips looking at her angrily.
"Do you know what time it is?" she questioned the younger medic with a raised eyebrow?"
"10.30?" Sakura volunteered sheepishly.
"It's a quarter to 12 Sakura and you're working a double shift" she admonished her.
"Ooops"
"Ooops?" Shizune shook her head at the girl, "You'll put yourself in hospital if you keep going Sakura, you're already starting to look sick, you're pale and peaky"
"Thanks Shizune" Sakura responded half heartedly.
Bending over the older medic plucked the file out of Sakura's hands "Go home Sakura, sleep, and rest, relax. You can come in at 4 tomorrow and only 4" Shizune ordered firmly.
"But, but. . . " Sakura tried to argue only for Shizune to cut her off with a wave of her hand. "No Sakura, that's an order, or do you want me to get Tsunade-sama involved."
"No" she replied sighing as she stood up and shrugged off her lab coat, walking over to Shizune she kissed her on the cheek "Thanks Shizune".
Smiling at her fellow medic and younger sister Shizune patted her back "Your welcome, go home and get a good nights sleep, I'll see you tomorrow at 4, night"
"Night" Sakura responded as she walked down the corridor.
Walking towards her apartment Sakura stopped and looked up at the stars. Her apartment was empty and didn't have much food and while Ibiki had been gone a month and a half the bed sheets would smell of him she reasoned as she turned around and made her way to his apartment, watchful of any one who would spot her. Letting her self in she easily made her way to the bedroom in the dark and stripped out of her clothes, grabbing another one of his black shirts, pulling back the covers she buried herself into the bed and sniffed in the dark, musky, spicy, leathery smell on the sheets that was Ibiki as she let herself fall asleep.
The mission had ended earlier than hoped and the whole team was glad of it, making his way to his home Ibiki briefly toyed with the idea of going to Sakura's apartment but calculated it was her night at the hospital. Entering his house he was surprised and pleased to feel her presence and making his way to the bedroom quietly chuckled at the site of her in the middle of his large bed wrapped cosily in the covers. Turning on one of the soft lights he quietly took off his clothes and put away his weapons, looking at his Hellcat he frowned at the bags under her eyes and paleness of her skin. Foolish Hellcat, she'll make her self sick again, he thought as he climbed into bed to join her. Moving her about he settled her in his arms, her head against his chest, it was only as he stretched his legs and shifted his torso that she cracked an eyelid and sleepily purred "Ibiki?"
"Shush Hellcat, it's okay go back to sleep" he gently soothed her as he closed his eyes to sleep, happy once again to be home but promising to have a talk with his Hellcat about her working habits.
Waking up to an empty bed Sakura thought for a moment that she had dreamt Ibiki's homecoming only to hear the clanging of pots in the kitchen. Groggily rubbing the sleep from her eyes she stood up and made her way to the door only to stop and sit back on the bed as a wave of dizziness came over her, waiting for it to pass she prayed Ibiki would stay in the kitchen. Once sorted she made her way into the kitchen to see Ibiki serving scrambled eggs onto a plate with some orange juice next to it.
"Morning Ibiki"
Looking up Ibiki smirked at the site of her once again in one of his shirts and a sleepy but beautiful smile on her face, "Afternoon Hellcat" he corrected her as he gave her a gentle but passionate kiss.
"Afternoon, crap what time is it?" Sakura asked as she looked around for the clock.
"Its 3pm" Ibiki raised an eyebrow at her.
"Damn, I have to be at the hospital at 4" Sakura stated as she made to turn around and go back into the bedroom. Grabbing her arm Ibiki gently propelled her to the table and sat her down. "Eat Hellcat, you have plenty of time" he ordered her as he watched and made sure she ate every scrape, pouring a cup of coffee he brought it over to her.
Taking the cup in her hands she bent down to take the first wakening sniff of the roasted beans only to suddenly feel her stomach roll. Shoving the cup back into Ibiki's hands she ran and barely made it to the toilet to vomit up the contents of her stomach, not wanting to see the result of regurgitated eggs and orange juice she closed her eyes and felt Ibiki's hands pulling the hair from her face and putting a wet cloth on the back of her neck.
"You okay Hellcat?" he questioned gently as he rubbed her back and gave her a glass of water.
Wiping her mouth Sakura smiled weakly and took sips of water "I'm fine now, thanks Ibiki."
Looking at the clock he saw that she had only half and hour to get ready and would be too stubborn to stay home from work. "Your working too hard again Hellcat, we'll talk tonight after your shift, but your going to make yourself sick again if you keep this up" he warned her.
Sighing in defeat Sakura got the feeling of déjà vu, "Okay, okay, hop it I need a shower, not you distracting me" all feelings of nausea gone as she stood up and turned on the shower.
Kissing her on the cheek Ibiki shook his head at her audacity "I have to go to Headquarters, see you later Hellcat".
"See you later, sexy" Sakura winked at him as he closed the door and she stepped naked into the shower with a sigh of pleasure as the water hit her body.
Walking into the Hospital and making her way to the office Sakura barely had time to put on her lab coat when she was inundated with nurses and medic's full of questions. Sighing at the never ending scale of the hospital she thought to herself "Maybe I should ask Shishou for a proper break from work". Two hours later Sakura had finally sorted out most of the problems as she ran up to surgery to meet Tsunade, seeing her Shishou and Shizune at the desk she waved at them slowing down apologising
"Sorry I'm late I . . . . "
Was all she got out before spots danced before her eyes and everything went black as she slumped to the ground, Tsunade and Shizune rushing to catch her.
----------
Another mission, another report, another request to join ANBU, another interrogation, Ibiki sighed as he leafed through the endless piles of paper secretly wishing Sakura was there to sort it all out for him, after the work they had put in to their plan and all the reports they had combed through it was obvious she had a knack for paperwork. Or just more patience than him, or something. Hearing the knock on his door he boomed out an entry the little blacked out window pane open so that he could give permission to enter from the sound proof room. Raising an eyebrow he was surprised to see a very flustered Shizune in front of him, normally the Hokage sent her two desk boys to get him or an ANBU when she wanted him.
"How can I help you Shizune" he politely enquired.
"The Hokage requires you right away" she shot out as she stepped back into the corridor waiting for him, seeing her nervously fidgeting and nearly bouncing, he realised that what ever was going on was something big, after many years with the Hokage it took alot to unsetle Shizune. Quickly shrugging on his leather trench coat he walked past her, out into the corridor and strode off leaving Shizune to catch up with his long strides and making rookies step back to give him way.
Walking into the Hokage's office he was surprised to see the Konoha 11 and Sensei's in the room, as well as Jiraiya and Team Kakashi, seeing his Hellcat standing by the window her face draining of colour he rapidly wondered what was going on. Striding purposefully up to the Hokage's desk he stood feet braced apart, hands behind his back, full attention on his Hokage and waited for his orders.
"Morino-san, I have found out today that not only is my apprentice pregnant, but she is also married, since none of us , her so called friends and family know I am asking you to find out who her husband and the father of her child is" she ordered him her eyes determined.
Well, that was unexpected.
