"Please tell me those fuckers didn't!" Anko snarled banging the door behind her. As it banged and hit the frame an ANBU reached out and closed it leaving the medical room in silence, and private.

"Didn't what?" Sakura questioned, tilting her head in a way Ibiki knew all too well. "Didn't suddenly try to come and say hi, to catch up." Emerald eyes blazed and though Sakura sat on her stool, Anko felt like she was being towered over by the pink haired Kunoichi.

"Oh they fucking did, with several clan members discreetly nearby keeping an eye on them."

"Idiots." Ibiki quietly added to Sakura's fury, pushing his anger down deep watching carefully as she clutched the test tube in her hand tightly, he was waiting for it, the focus he kept on the empty test tube the only thing keeping him grounded. Stopping him from lashing out, just an other hour or two and he would use the interrogation rooms to sate the monster within that was crying out for blood.

"They pretended like nothing happened." Sakura hissed, angry tears actually filling her eyes, increasing her anger that she would waste tears on them. "That bitch even tried to imply that because she was attacked and saved, she knew and understood what had happened to me. That we were the same."

And there it was. Ibiki did not sigh but quietly breathed out through his nose as Sakura looked down at her hand in surprise, the broken test tube falling to the ground in a tinkle of glass and blood.

Taking the first kit from the shelf behind him he moved nearer to Sakura, watching her frown and sigh. With gentleness that hardly any were aware of he took her small hand in his and began to clean it, picking out the glass and dressing it. Listening to Anko and Sakura.

"How the hell do they think I'd want to talk to them now.

"Neji and Hinnata are the onl ones I might deal with."

"Poor fuckers, their still under house arrest."

Ibiki tuned out, extremely rare but exhaustion was plaguing him, he could manage and did so at a rate that astounded his ANBU, but like a solider tablet it would catch up. Tonight, he would have to sleep tonight, he needed at least six hours to cope for the coming days.

"Anko, stop cursing." He growled, surprising the two Kunoichi, one sneering at him recognising the mood too well, the other looking concerned. "Report."

For a split second Anko looked chagrined, before rolling her eyes and running her tongue over her teeth in anticipation, Sakura and Ibiki looking at her nervously.

"it started to work. Tsunade-sama was muttering and twitching."

Three sets of eyes gleamed and for a moment dared to hope before getting back to work.
