04 ♡ Shared history

Yada yada yada.

He really didn't want to think about it anymore. Whatever she was going to do, she was going to do. Instead he allowed his mind to wander back to his Indra's necklace. It was fastened securely around his neck. His fingers were itching to write another note to him. To discuss the steps of further action. But a gnawing feeling deep down told him his great grandfather wouldn't tell him. This was something Sasuke would have to figure out.

His mind drifted back to a previous note. Indra had already outlined a whole bunch of things you liked. A month would fly in quickly. He needed to move fast.

No matter how bad the time was.

"Sasuke Uchiha?"

The young male looked up from his lap. A nurse - who couldn't have been much older than thirty - gave him a bright smile. Oh great . . . he knew that look.

He got it a lot - especially after taking on a bigger role within the Uchiha corporation. It was a look that rested on the paparazzis' faces. A look that rested on passersby' that recognized him.

A look of utter awe.

After all, it wasn't everyday you saw one of the world's youngest (and arguably most successful) tech entrepreneur.

So he did the thing he always did. He smiled brightly at the nurse. "Yes. That's me. How are you doing?"

Sasuke would give her one thing. She was doing a great job of composing herself. "

I'm doing well. I'm your assigned nurse, Shizune. That looks like quite the injury you've got there!"

"Unfortunately. But all in all, I can't complain." Sasuke faked another bright smile before pushing himself up onto his crutches. "I take it Doctor Tsunade's ready to see me?"

"Yes she is! Follow me right this way."

Shizune led him along the corridor - Sasuke hobbling along after her. After many twists and turns (and much small talk Sasuke couldn't recall) the pair stopped outside a door.

"Doctor Tsunade will see you in here." She pushed the door open and gestured for Sasuke to enter. He complied. "The doctor will be a few moments Mr. Uchiha. Make yourself comfortable."

The nurse waited until Sasuke settled into a chair before leaving, closing the door quietly behind her.

It wasn't a bad design. Way better than the waiting room! There was a counter littered with medical supplies. Against the backing of the far wall was a medical examination table. Some bright coloured streaks danced along the walls. But by far the best part was the spaciousness. Perhaps as big as a 12 x 16.

There was a knock at the door. Before Sasuke could answer, it swung open.

A middle aged woman wearing a distinctive white doctor's coat stood in the frame. Her blond hair was pulled into a low ponytail, two strands framing her face. Smack dab in the middle of her forehead was a diamond tattoo.

Okay . . . Sasuke could get behind this doctor. She seemed pretty chill.

Doctor Tsunade gave Sasuke a bright smile. "Hi Mr. Uchiha. As you probably know, I'm Doctor Tsunade! I'll be handling all oversight of your recovery." She pointed towards the counter. "Feel free to help yourself to whatever's in those cupboards. There's some snacks in there."

Oh hell yeah! Sasuke could really get used to this! Appealing to his stomach was always a good choice.

"Wonderful. Thanks!"

The doctor slid into the chair opposite of the Uchiha. "This should be a short visit today. I just have a couple of questions." Her pen clicked and she lay her clipboard across her lap.

"Whenever you're ready."

"The funeral's in a couple days."

Sasuke glanced up at Itachi. The hot chocolate that the younger brother sipped on burned his tongue. He cringed, the hot liquid scalding his insides as it went down.

"Friday?"

"Yeah." Itachi leaned over the table, adding in a few marshmallows into Sasuke's cup. "I told you to wait. It's hot."

"I got impatient."

"Well that much's obvious You've never been good at waiting." Itachi stirred a few marshmallows into his own drink. A third cup rested on the table. For you - whenever you got out of the bathroom. "How did you find today's appointment?"

The younger Uchiha brother shrugged his shoulders. "Meh. Doctor's chill. Legs' painful, but whatever. She was just asking some questions."

"Doctor Tsunade said you're quite promising." Itachi swirled his drink again. "She's hopeful of a full recovery."

"Aren't we all." Sasuke took another scalding sip of hot chocolate. "Say, Ita? You ever heard of Kana's bakery?"
