Waking up

I woke up to the smell of bleach and a large weight on my chest.

I kept my eyes closed and checked my surroundings. Except for the beep of the heart monitor connected to my left arm and the sound of a fan at the bottom of my bed blowing the cool scent of bleach into my face it was eerily quiet.

I spread out my senses to check for life.

'So Kohona Hospital. I do feel Sasuke and someone sleeping in a tree outside.'

I flipped over facing towards where i felt Sasuke's chakra. I stared at him, his smooth face his brows were creased and lines appeared on his forehead even as he breathed somewhat evenly, he was obviously suffering.

'He's having a nightmare' I sighed and reached out between the bars separating our beds. It felt hot when i placed it on his forehead.

I let my chakra go out through my hand cooling him down as a side effect making him unconsciously relax. I allowed my instincts to take charge and fed some of my chakra through his own pathways doing a silent diagnosis jitsu.

'He's alright itachi did quite a number on his brain though, probably from the tyomki.' My chakra quickly focused on the root of the problem where the memory was, the hippocampus. The place was overstimulated and bloated from the illusion itachi had irresponsibly stuffed into it.

'I can't do anything now as I only have three tomes and Sasuke is still deeply unconscious. I'll have to wait till he wakes or do a complicated procedure to get inside his brain but that would be too loud and the anbu outside would be suspicious of my now gained tal-.'

I was snapped out of my thoughts quickly cutting off my chakra to look beyond Sasuke it only took a moment before deciding on game plan of my own.

The door quickly opened and a woman in uniform stepped in closing it quietly behind her.

I kept my face blank only looking at Sasuke not acknowledging her presence at all as she began to speak clearly--

"Hello," she bowed "I was assigned by the Hokage to attend to you and your injuries."

She straightened up quick, her posture was calm but also reassuring "If you may lie back I can attend to you faster and let you have alone time with your brother." She glanced politely to my hand still on Sasuke's head.

I didn't say anything but did as told and slowly pulled my hand away and back on my stomach and got comfortable so she could examine me.

She leaned over me, her golden hair

-A Yamanaka!?-

draping down and she began to do what I have done not even a minute before.

Her cool hands trailed over my stomach, chest, legs and arms and then finally reached my head. I had a feeling she was going to search my brain first but decided it would be too sudden.

'Well whatever this sensation is amazing the cool chakra fanning my head in such a relaxing way, good.'

She froze when her chakra flowed over my head then quickly continued. I took my eyes off Sasuke and stared at her appraising her expression it was still nice and collected 'Wow she's good I would have never believed there was an expression of horror on her face one second prior.She must have felt what itachi had done. Another issue added to the list.'

"All good" She sighed, she killed her jitsu and relaxed away from me. She looked like she was about to do the same with Sasuke when I spoke driving the thought out of her mind.

"What happened?" My voice was chaffed.

I had to stifle my amusement as her whole body froze again, then looked at me with undisguised pity and disbelief that quickly disappeared replaced by a strained smile.

" I'm sorry, I am unavailable to discuss this with you" She bowed again and quickly fled pathetically from the room throwing a long glance at Sasuke. She'll probably come back after getting (yelled at)... advice from her leader.

I watched her leave and we made eye contact before she left she looked absolutely terrified. 'You know that would have been weird if I hadn't sensed the startled 'warning' from the anbu trailing her. Is she new? Why is she so scared she abandoned the task she was soo clearly trying to do?'

I sighed and lied back on the sheets and turned to face Sasuke again I reached out a hand putting it on his forehead again.

I was happy when his shoulders pulled away from his ears and finally felt his breath even out. 'He'll wake up tomorrow, I'm sure but for now let's get some sleep.'

I closed my eyes.
