Hello, everyone. Lets get down to the nitty gritty already. I own nothing that has to do with Naruto. And that's that.

Summary: Sakura is the top doctor in the hospital. She works too much and has time for little else, including sleep. So after team return, Tsunade decides to give her a personal assistant. Only thing is…it's getting a little too personal.

ooooooooooooooooooooo

My Personal

Assistant Uchiha

Chapter1: So Much for Girl's Night

What a god-damned shitty day!

Sakura hissed inwardly and groaned as she walked into her office. Her feet ached and it didn't help that she was wearing sharp, black stilettos. The only reason she was wearing them was because she'd be leaving to join her friends at the club within a few hours. And damn if it didn't look great and boost her confidence…

She stiffly plopped into the chair behind her desk and tapped her laptop out of sleep mode a little more forcibly than necessary. With a yawn she scrolled down through her messages; one from Hinata excited about their girl's night out in three hours, one from TenTen who said she was coming also, and another one from Ino writing about Sai and how difficult it was to keep a normal relationship with him.

Not gonna happen there Ino…

Sakura yawned harshly once more and spun in her chair to grab a coffee mug and fill it with the stuff that had been there for her whole shift…her whole fourteen and a half shift! She was the Senior Doctor which meant she ruled the hospital- except, of course, when Tsunade was present- and look at the damn hours she put herself through! She was barely twenty one and just look at her life; there was none.

That was why she had forced herself to buy a new black dress and heels for that night. It was going to be so much fun with all her girlfriends again. Getting drunk and disorderly and forgetting about their responsibilities for just one night. Then the next day they'd all go back to work or missions.

And their boyfriends…

Sakura shook her head to get the needy, whining voice out of her mind. She needed that coffee now; it would help get back on track and help her do all the paperwork she had to tackle.

The muddy black liquid burned her tongue but gave her a zap of energy that she really needed. That's when she heard a catchy jingle of 'These Boots Were Made for Walkin' on her beeper. That particular song was reserved for her once-sensei.

She spun around in her chair as she snatched up her beeper and saw the red blinking exclamation point along with the word, Tsunade. "Oh shit." She muttered as thoughts of drinking a glass of vodka and coke was pushed back into her mind as she tapped the enter key.

Sakura's eyes scanned the words and she stood up immediately.

Get to critical ASAP

She snatched her white lab coat, not putting it on, and ran out of her office, idly realizing she hadn't changed back into her civilian clothes or put on her sneakers; and she'd pay for it later with the worst bunions of her life.

She bumped right into a body and nearly sending them both to the ground before she snatched the other's arm.

Sakura looked up and saw a small, pale woman with a crop of jet black hair, wearing a little purple dress. She was panting and clearly struggling with the large and heavy black bag which held all of Sakura's tools and scrolls.

"S-Sakura-chan," the woman stuttered, "It's the team! They're all injured!"

"Run while we talk, Hinata!" She snatched the heavy bag from the other petite woman easily as together they raced through the sterile halls, heels clicking in unison with an oddly empowering resonance. "Did they find the Akatsuki?" she asked, while slightly amazed that the two of them hadn't broken their ankles. Hinata had been goaded into buying a pair of stilettos also…

The Hyuga nodded. "Yes they found them all. The Akatsuki are dead. But t-the team; they are all hurt badly."

"I see."

Once they reached the critical wing, Sakura spotted Tsunade bursting through the double doors ahead of them; above, the red light was glowing down upon them spitefully. "I am glad to see that you've rushed here." The Sannin certainly didn't look glad; she looked pale and drained.

"Take a break, Tsunade-sama." Sakura said as she watched her old sensei nod. "The other meds can handle it for ten minutes." Hinata found a small box of latex gloves as the pink-haired doctor washed her hands thoroughly.

"Very well." Tsunade stepped over and filled a paper cup with water. She drank it heavily, no doubt wishing it was sake. But she wanted to remain sober and sharp as possible to support Sakura's chakra.

"You must attend to Neji and Naruto first. They are in the worst condition. I was able to stabilize the rest."

Sakura nodded as she dried her hands. Hinata held out the box of gloves, shakily, and the medic nin picked out two, dragged them on. She looked down at her sensei; sitting detached on the bench, and watched the woman sigh.

"You've had a very long day, Sakura." Tsunade said. "I'm sorry you have to stay longer."

"No need to say that. My house is boring anyway." And our girls night out is out the window… but our friends need me more than anything right now, so screw it…

"Still," the Sannin said, letting it hang in the air. As Sakura turned to go, Tsunade raised a hand.

"Wait, just another minute."

The pink-haired woman turned slightly and held her sensei's gaze. "You must know Sakura," the blond Hokage began.

"…Sasuke Uchiha was present at the battle."

Sakura now turned fully to her sensei, eyes wide. "What? He didn't…he didn't hurt anyone?" her emerald eyes were wide with guilt and pain, and fear.

"No. No he didn't hurt any of ours. In fact, he killed Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha. And then he helped bring back the wounded; willingly." Tsunade watched sakura looking down at the floor, thoughtfully, but not bawling or withdrawn.

"That's the real Sasuke, Tsunade." the young woman whispered, a smile forming on her face. "He's finally come back to normal…come back to Konoha." She sighed with relief and grinned softly; Tsunade suddenly understood.

"You don't plan on making it easy for him do you?" the Sannin smirked and saw her pupil, the one who she considered a daughter, sneer with grim humor.

"If you allow him to live, of course." Sakura said, grimly.

"I will."

The younger medic's eyes shot up to her sensei at the frank words; the hope in them was not at all hidden. "Are you serious?"

"Of course there will be repercussions. He was very troublesome and is highly dangerous still. But for now, get in there and help Naruto and Neji. Hinata has already gone and Shizune is in there too."

Sakura nodded. She knew what would lie beyond those used, double doors. She had friends in there and the one person who could still- after all those years- make her heart race with only a minor thought of him.

She sighed and squared her shoulders, then trotted forward and set a hand a door.

"Sakura?"

She turned and looked back to see Tsunade eying her stilettos; envy was detected slightly. "Nice shoes."

"Thanks." She said, proudly, and pushed the doors open, not looking back but forward; to whatever awaited her in that room.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
