Ok I know I should not be publishing a new story but I can't help it. I have had some of the worst months of my life and I have yet to write anything in all that time. To any returning fans, should I still have any, I'm really sorry for the wait. I've just been at the point where I would have killed all my characters off and I write romantic comedies. So anyway, for my new readers sorry for all of that. This was originally a oneshot in response to a review promise I made for The Course of a Year(another Itasaku I will update by next week). I wrote it and it ended up turning into a story so sorry but I will get started on that oneshot! Anyway enough of my talking here is the first chapter of Interns and Tasers.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or this would have been an OVA

"Hey forehead wake up!"

Sakura groaned and turned over away from the annoying pig. She had been up until four the night, or morning, before finishing a paper for her organic chemistry class and she had no desire to be up until the next morning.

"Fine I guess you want to miss that internship you've been talking about for the past six months. Seems so odd that you would rather sleep than show up since you were chosen out of-how many was it? A hundred, two hundred-

"Three thousand," Sakura grumbled in her sleep and then she nearly jumped out of her bed. "Wait WHAT?!

"Forehead, it's eight o'clock," Ino said pointing to the clock above Sakura's door.

"Fuck," Sakura cursed and she tucked and rolled off her bed and into the bathroom making Ino snort.

"You're a medical student not a ninja forehead."

"Better than being a hooker," Sakura teased and she slammed the door right before a pillow smacked the door where Sakura's head had been previously.

"I'm a dancer Sakura. I was featured in the Boston Globe!"

"Whatever helps you sleep pig."

"I WENT TO JUILLIARD!"

Sakura chuckled before turning the shower on, drowning out most of her roommates screeching. She hurriedly rubbed shampoo across her scalp and she hissed when she nicked her knee with her razor.

"It is just not my day today," she scowled and she stepped out of the shower and put a towel on her head before walking out into her room where Ino was waiting with a coffee and a very chic suit laid out.

"I take back everything bad I've ever said about you," Sakura told her fingering the emerald green button up top. She pulled it on and she felt very professional with the grey skirt and a slim cropped jacket.

"Even calling me a pig," Ino inquired and Sakura tapped her chin in thought before smirking.

"Well maybe not everything."

"Really well that's unfortunate," Ino pouted and when she revealed what was behind her back Sakura nearly fainted.

"Jimmy Choo Suede Pumps in Black," Sakura sighed and Ino grinned before cocking her hand beside her ear.

"So what was that you were saying...

"That you are the best friend in existence and you have no pig features whatsoever," Sakura whispered her emerald eyes only fixated on the pair of shoes that she had been fawning over since their purchase six months ago. Ino had been flaunting them in her face every chance she got.

"That my girl," Ino winked and Sakura nearly groaned when her hands made contact with the shoes. She pulled them on and headed for the door chugging coffee as she went. She was nearly to the door when Ino called for her to stop.

"What?" Sakura swore to Kami that if Ino had changed her mind about the shoes she was going to-

"Kick some ass forehead." Sakura felt a warm feeling enter her chest as her friend gave her a reassuring smile. It was moments like this that reminded Sakura why her and Ino had been best friends for the better part of fifteen years.

"Just make sure you don't do the kicking with those shoes because-

"Good-bye Ino."

And it was moments like that that made Sakura realize how important this internship was. It was another step towards having a job at a quality hospital after graduation which meant money and success.

And her own apartment.

Sakura walked up to the train station and was grateful that one destined for Konoha Block Twelve was pulling up into the station. That would practically drop her off at the hospital's front steps. Sakura slid her card into the machine and stepped onto the train.

The train was crowded and Sakura grabbed onto the railing closest to the door. The door closed and Sakura did an eternal victory dance. At this rate she would be able to get to the internship with fifteen minutes to spare. She smiled at the people next to her and before grabbing a pair of headphones from her pocket.

She relaxed as a familiar song came on and she gently leaned her head against the pole she was gripping. She turned her mind towards the internship she had managed to score.

She had applied for it back in January when her professor mentioned it to her. It was an opportunity to study under the head doctors at Konoha's General Hospital. She was among thirty people chosen out of three thousand to get the internship. If she did a good job she might be eligible for a job after graduation,and if she impressed them enough they may pay for her schooling. Sakura could feel the pressure weighing down on her shoulders.

Wait a sec, that weight wasn't the result of mental anguish. There was actually something on her shoulders.

It was a hand. A very strong hand that grasped Sakura's shoulder. Sakura ignored it, they were probably just holding on because they had slipped from the railing. She didn't have too much time to dwell on it since the train was pulling up to her stop. Sakura made a move to get off when the hand slipped. Sakura could feel the heat creep up her neck. She felt like a victim in a hentai manga.

She was being groped on a public train!

"You perv!" Sakura turned around and whipped out a piece of unused plastic and jabbing it into the man's side.

"UGH, did you just tase me?" Sakura looked down as the man held his side. He glared up at her and Sakura gulped. Not because she was frightened, although he was giving off some rather unfriendly waves, but because he had to have been the most gorgeous men she had ever seen in her life. She snapped out of her stupor and glared at him before turning around.

"That's what you get for groping an innocent woman," Sakura huffed and she heard the man give an indignant snort as he stood up.

"Groping an innocent woman? Is that what you think happened?" Sakura turned back around and she glared up at him. She tried not to let the fact that he was easily a foot taller intimidate her.

"What do you perverts have another name for it?"

"Yes," he said glaring down at her. "It's called slipping, it's what happens when the train I jerking back and forth and the railing is taken up by some snot nosed brat who is too busy listening to her headphones to notice that she is blocking the railing." Sakura flushed a dark red.

"A brat am I?"

"Oh I'm sorry, do you brats have another name for yourselves?" Sakura glared at him for throwing his words back to her. Who the hell did this guy think he was?

"Whatever I have somewhere to be," Sakura spat and she stomped off. Kami she hated assholes like that. She was just glad that she would probably never see him again. If she did though, she was going to stick her taser where the sun don't shine.

Itachi was having the single worst day of his entire life.

He woke up late, his fridge had stopped working in the middle of the night making his food spoil, and his coffee maker had bubbled over before falling over onto the floor and breaking into at least a dozen unidentifiable pieces. On top of all that he missed his usual train and was forced onto the over crowded late comers train with half the population of Konoha.

"This is ridiculous," Itachi murmured before finding an open corner near one of the doors. Before he could make it a woman with the most ridiculous dye job he had ever seen clung onto the open railing. Itachi growled slightly and he was grateful that no one here knew who he was. His flawless reputation would be ruined otherwise.

Itachi walked over to the spot anyway and placed his hand on the roof of the train. He would still be on time for his shift. He had wanted to get there early to prep for the new interns that would be coming in but he would just have to hope that Sasori and Pein would take care of it before he got there.

Itachi nearly fell over when the train jerked forward. His hand found purchase on the young woman's shoulder. He tried to move it but nearly fell again. He let out a sigh of relief when the sign above him flashed, letting him know they were only seconds away from his stop. The train once again jerked and this time his hand dropped to a place he would never reach for in a public place.

Fuck my life

"You perv!"

Itachi had opened his mouth to apologize when a sharp pain went through his entire body. He withheld the yelp that had made its way up his throat but he was unable to stop himself from falling to the ground.

"UGH, did you just tase me?" Itachi clutched his side and glared up at the young woman. She was looking down at him and he saw her gulp slightly before turning around and crossing her arms over her chest.

"That's what you get for groping an innocent woman." Itachi nearly scoffed at her statement.

"Groping an innocent woman? Is that what you think happened," he asked before standing up. The woman turned back around and he was glad to see her hesitate as he towered over her barely five foot frame.

"What do you perverts have another name for it?"

"Yes," he said glaring down at her. "It's called slipping, it's what happens when the train I jerking back and forth and the railing is taken up by some snot nosed brat who is too busy listening to her headphones to notice that she is blocking the railing." The woman, or really girl he thought, flushed a dark red and he expected her to start apologizing when she grit her teeth and glared up at him.

"A brat am I?"

"Oh I'm sorry, do you brats have another name for yourselves," Itachi asked mocking her earlier statement. He saw her hand twitch towards her taser but notepad she just turned around.

"Whatever I have somewhere to be," she spat before storming off the platform. Itachi watched her go and waited until she was out of sight before rubbing the spot on his side that she had tased. It hurt but he didn't really have time to worry about it. He took a short cut to the hospital and quickly showed his ID to the front desk before heading up the the fourth floor where he saw Sasori jotting down notes on a clipboard and chugging what looked to be black coffee.

"Look who decided to show up," Sasori said not looking up from his clipboard.

"I'm not in the mood."

"Well you better get in the mood. We have thirty bubbly, naive medical students waiting for us downstairs."

"Hn."

The two doctors headed down stairs and Itachi saw that the other twenty-eight doctors involved in the program were already waiting. Itachi gave a brief nod to Pein, who was currently explaining the program to the young wanna be doctors.

"Now you have all been matched up with people-

based on the medical field you wish to major in."

Sakura couldn't recall ever feeling so excited. The monotone ginger doctor in front of her pulled out a list and started reading off the names of the students and their mentor for the next three weeks.

"Temari Sabaku, you will be paired with Doctor Kato," he said motioning to where an elderly doctor was greeting a young blonde woman. "Sakura Haruno," Sakura nearly squealed when her name was called out but managed to contain herself. "You will be paired with Doctor Uchiha."

Sakura looked over to where the man was pointing to see a familiar face.

"Y-you," Sakura found she could not even finish her accusation when the man looked her over with cold eyes.

"Ah yes, you're the brat from earlier aren't you?"

"Excuse you, you per-

"I see you two are already acquainted," the main doctor said looking up at the two of them from his clipboard. "Good, then you can skip your introductions and get right to work."

Sakura swallowed her protests and walked over to where the 'pervert' was standing. His face was blank and the definition of professionalism. Hopefully he wouldn't be horrible to work with. Sakura needed to impress at this internship.

"This way," he said shortly and Sakura followed him as they headed towards what Sakura assumed was the neurologist department. Sakura smiled at the doctors they passed on their way and was surprised to see that the man in front of her made no indication that he even noticed their presence.

"Um, are we going to your office," Sakura asked hesitantly and Doctor Uchiha only nodded before stopping outside a closed door.

"This way," he said opening it. Sakura walked in and she heard him close the door behind them. She expected him to yell at her but instead he went behind his desk and sat down.

"Have a seat," he said gesturing to one of the leather chairs in front of his desk. She stared at him in disbelief for a few seconds before taking a seat. "So I assume that you're planning on becoming a neurologist," he said looking at her. Sakura opened her mouth to answer but then closed it. This was so confusing, wasn't he going to yell or at least scold her? Maybe glare at her a bit.

"I assume you're intelligent since you got this internship but if the judges were mistaken I'll be happy to send you home and get someone who is at least capable of answering a few simple questions."

Yeah, that was a bit of the attitude that she was expecting.

"Yes, I plan on becoming a neurologist. I just got my bachelors from Konoha University and I plan on staying there to finish up the next four years before I go intern at a hospital."

"Hm, and I assume you wish to do your internship here," the Uchiha man said leaning back in chair.

"That is what I want. I've always wanted to work here," she told him giving him a small smile. Maybe this wouldn't be as bad as she thought. He seemed to have completely forgotten this morning's incident and she was grateful that at least he was being professional.

"Well that's good. I happen to know we'll have a position open by the time you graduate."

"Really," Sakura asked nearly jumping out of her seat.

"Yes, a member of the critical care unit will be retiring around the time you finish your schooling."

"I didn't know that neurologists work in the critical care unit," Sakura said confused.

"They don't," he said and Sakura frowned at him. "But they always need cleanup people and one of the janitors will be retiring by then. I'm sure that will be a nice job for a disrespectful brat like yourself."

He got up and walked out of office leaving Sakura shocked in his wake. She soon felt a surge of anger rush through her and she stormed out of the office and ran after Doctor Uchiha who was just turning down the hallway.

"WAIT! DOCTOR UCHI-

Sakura stopped as a hand clamped itself over her mouth. She looked up to see Doctor Uchiha glaring at her. At that moment his eyes almost looked red and Sakura wondered how such an unfriendly and rather frightening person came to work at a hospital.

"Fine. You want to work under me than you may. But listen up," Doctor Uchiha said his eyes narrowing. "I have a lot of work to do and I don't need you slowing me down. You will be silent, you will walk behind me at all times, and you will not talk to nor disturb any of my patients. Are we clear, brat?"

Sakura looked up at him and she could never recall hating any man as much as she did then. He was a self absorbed prick and Sakura wished she had picked another field to major in, but seeing as she was already here...

"Crystal."

She might as well make the best of it.

That's it for chapter one. I will update only on Tuesdays but whether its this Tuesday or next Tuesday is up to your reviews;p
