Hi guys!
Before I start: A note of apology to all those people who asked for a sequel to my other story - "The path of true love never did run smooth". I know I told you I would make one, but I was working on this story first, and sorry to say, I was also just way more syked to get this one going first! so IM SORRY! I don't like to put too much writing before a fic, so there will be more info on it at the end of this chapter.
Anyway, Enjoy!

...What happened?...
...

...
...Where am I?...
...

...
...What are these noises I'm hearing?...

...
...UUGGGHHHH! What is that incessant pain in my head?!...

Uchiha Sasuke woke up in Konoha Hospital, clad in a pristine white hospital gown and laying down on a bed with pristine white sheets.
Having not opened his eyes for quite some time, the lighting in the room was almost blinding. He slowly opened his eyes and squinted upwards. The sight that he saw above him took his breath away. Hovering a few inches over his bed was the most beautiful face he'd ever seen.
A girl with pink hair and beautiful jade green eyes stood over him, smiling down at him.
"Sasuke-sama! You're awake!" She said softly.
Still getting used to the light in the room, all Sasuke could decipher was her face surrounded by a bright light, giving her somewhat a holy look.
...
...
...Is this an angel??...
...
...
Now properly adjusted to the light, Sasuke opened his eyes fully. Looking with new eyes at the girl, he saw that she was wearing a white nurse's outfit, and her pink hair was tied back neatly in a bun.
"Let me just adjust your drip for you..." Angel girl said to him, and with that reached up with both hands and leaned forward, pushing her perky, rounded breasts in his direction. she fiddled with the bag of fluid inside the plastic bag hanging on the metal pole.
...
...
...Wow, the angel girl has quite a rack too...
...
...
Sasuke, Angel girl's breasts pretty much in his face, and his natural male instincts kicking in, began to blush. His heart rate went up a few beats, getting gradually faster. The heart rate monitor bleeped faster and faster.
"Oh dear, Uchiha-sama, are you alright?" The angel girl said frowning at the heart rate monitor. "Oh, I don't like this at all, your heart rate is pretty fast...and you're very pink...maybe you also have a fever?"
Sasuke stopped and stared. Angel girl now standing further away, his heart rate went back down. Sasuke cleared his throat before he spoke.
"W-Wait.." He croaked. "What do you mean, also? What else do I have?!"
Angel girl smiled. "I'll introduce myself first. My name is Sakura, Haruno Sakura. For your entire stay in Hospital, I will be your nurse and take care of you to the best of my ability!"
"A-And why am I even in hospital? I don't remember what happened..."
Sakura looked down. "Surely you remember the mission you were on, ne?"
Sasuke nodded, his eyes fixed on Sakura's. What is angel girl, I mean Sakura, not telling me?
She took a deep breath. "While you were on your mission, you were injured, badly...A few of your ribs were broken and both of your legs were almost completely shattered..."
Sasuke looked down. Ripping the bedsheets off, he looked down and saw both of his legs bound up in leg braces. He couldn't move them at all. It was almost as if he was paralyzed from the waist down. He stared on in horror.
"Oh, those leg braces are only temporary until your legs heal up. Don't worry, you'll be out of them in no time..." Sakura smiled but still had a look of uncertainty across her face.
She's still not telling me something... Sasuke thought.
"Sa!" Sakura said, sitting down in the chair beside Sasuke. "Sasuke-sama, I must say, I am honored to be looking after Konoha's most famous teenager, if it's not too unprofessional to say!"
Damn, Sasuke thought, I was hoping she wouldn't recognize me...
Sasuke was in reality not only now a fully fledged shinobi, but also the brother of the founder of the Uchiha corporation, the most famous company in all of Konoha. In addition, he was constantly in all the girls magazines, and classed as a heart throb.
"Please," He began "Call me Sasuke, or Sasuke-kun..." He asked her.
"Oh, Gomen nasai.." Sakura said, blushing a little. "Well, Sasuke-kun, is there anything I can bring you? Do you have any relatives that you would like me to call?"
Sasuke sighed. "Yeah, I should probably tell Itachi about this..."
Itachi, being the founder of Uchiha corps., was extremely wealthy. He had more money than any other person in Konoha. He came in wearing the fanciest clothes from the top designers in Japan, and waited outside the hospital ward.
Sakura had to admit she was happy to be the nurse of Sasuke, the brother of Itachi. Sakura at this point was extremely poor, so a big rich customer coming in for her to take care of was perfect. Plus, she had had hardly any people to take care of that month, and the more people she looked after, the more she got paid.
"Itachi-sama!" Sakura greeted with a bow as he entered the ward. "Pleased to meet you! My name is Haruno Sakura, and I will be taking care of your brother Sasuke for the time that he's in hospital!"
Itachi looked her up and down, and smiled inwardly to himself. "Pleasure!" he said in a fake pleased voice.
"Well, Your brother Sasuke is just over here..."
Itachi followed Sakura over to Sasuke's bed and tutted, frowning slightly.
"Ohhh, my poor little brother..." He said almost patronizingly. Sasuke rolled his eyes. "What ever happened to you?"
"Just got beat up a little in a mission is all..." Sasuke said, looking almost embarrassed and frowning up at him.
Sakura cleared her throat. "Ano...To be more specific, two of his ribs are broken, and both his legs are pretty much shattered. He'll be wearing leg braces for the next few weeks I'm afraid, but I'm sure we can get him out of bed in no time!"
At that moment, Tsunade walked over to Sasuke's hospital bed where they were all standing.
"Ahem, Sakura, There's no point in giving him false hopes now, is there?"
Sasuke's eyes widened, his jaw dropping a little.
"Now wait just a second..." he began, "I knew you were hiding something from me! Start talking, NOW."
Sakura opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out of her mouth. She tried again in vain, until finally she just hung her head, unable to tell Sasuke the terrible news.
Tsunade sighed and shook her head. "Well, seeing as Sakura isn't going to speak, I'll just tell you for her then, even though she IS your nurse..." she said, shooting a bad look at Sakura.
Sasuke sat up further in bed. "What? What is it? What are you not telling me?!"
Tsunade looked up. "Sasuke-kun, I'm so sorry, but it looks like there's a pretty good chance that you'll never walk again..."
Sasuke stared on with glistening eyes, while a few tears coming from Sakura splashed onto the floor in front of her.
-- -- -- --
Awwww, poor Sasuke! BUT you never know, will Sasuke be able to walk again? Who knows?! (giggles) Oh alright, I do, but I'm not going to tell you! You will have to find that out for yourself in the next chapter! Will all this extra time spent with Sasuke spark a budding romance, even with somebody (maybe temporarily) paralyzed? Also, the next chapter will be a lot longer. This was just to set it up kinda!
PLEASE REVIEW! XD
Do not read below unless you wanted a sequel to "The Path of True Love Never Did Run Smooth":
Again, apologies readers, I started to write it, but then read it and thought "This is really bad..." so scrapped it. The problem is, I couldn't think of a solid plot line without making Sasuke look bad, which I really don't want to do, so yes. Until I think of a new plot line, it may be on hold. I am so sorry, please don't hate me... D:
