Ashley’s POV
“Sounds like one interesting mission” I muse, walking beside Sakura as we head towards the hospital. “I wish I’d been there.” The pinkette nods, stretching her arms up above her head.
“Yeah it was pretty intense” she agrees, before winking at me. “But come on, we’re Team Kakashi, so it’s no surprise that we won!”
I roll my eyes at Sakura and playfully shove her shoulder.
“Enjoying not having me on the team then huh?” I tease, making her shake her head vigorously.
“No, Naruto and I really miss you” she sighs, pulling a face. “It’s just not the same without you and that sarcastic personality of yours around.”
“Oh, well I can make up for the lack of sarcasm when you’re not on missions if you’d like?” I suggest, making Sakura sweat drop as we arrive at the glass doors of the hospital.
“Um, no that’s okay” Sakura laughs, waving me off. “I’m sure we’ll manage.”
“Whatever” I scoff, crossing my arms and walking through the automatic doors. “So what are we here for anyway?”
“Well, I’m here to help check on patients and conduct a few physical exams” Sakura explains to me, pausing in front of the reception desk. “It’s part of my job as Lady Tsunade’s apprentice.”
“Ah, so the old lady sends you in because she can’t be bothered” I smirk, shaking my head. “Very cunning Lady Tsunade…..”
“Good morning Miss Sakura” the receptionist chirps, smiling brightly and ignoring my quip about the Hokage. “Good to see you in so bright and early!”
“Thanks” Sakura replies, nodding her head and taking a clipboard from the receptionist. “I’ll get right onto this. Come on Ashley.”
“Um, perhaps your friend should wait here Miss Sakura” the woman seated at the desk suggests awkwardly. “As you are a Medic Ninja, your friend may get in the way…”
Before I can reply to the woman, Sakura grabs me by the arm and begins dragging me down a hallway.
“Don’t worry!” she calls over her shoulder. “Ashley’s a Medic Ninja as well!” I deadpan at that, glaring at the floor as I am dragged around a corner and tugged towards a door. As Sakura releases me, I straighten myself up and give her a blank look.
“What?” she asks, pausing in her opening of the door.
“I’m not a Medic Ninja” I state seriously. “I know some Medical Ninjutsu. Some being the key word.”
Sakura merely rolls her green eyes and pushes the door open.
“You’re a Medic in denial” she informs me, stepping into the room, with me reluctantly following behind her. Hopefully I wasn’t dragged here to assist with anything……
“Sakura-chan!” a cheerful voice greets, making me look up. Naruto spots me at the same time, and gives me a wide, closed eye smile, as Sai merely glances at Sakura and I with a passive expression.
“Hey Naruto” Sakura replies distractedly, striding over to Sai, whose arm is in a sling. “Hey Sai, how are you feeling today?”
“Hello” Sai greets softly. “I am well thank you. My arm isn’t hurting as much today, although this sling is rather uncomfortable.”
