"Do you consider yourself more of a cat or dog person? Or do you like both?" - Hana Inuzuka
@historias-multorum
"I would say I like both equally, though if I were forced to pick one, I would probably pick cats. I am not sure I have the energy to properly love and care for a dog... Unless it was an older dog, maybe?" He gave a slight shrug. "Though if we are talking about all animals, I will say I love crows the most. They are surprisingly smart and show a lot of love if you can get them to trust you."
Kakashi blinks a little, confused when Itachi motions for him to sit next to him. He rubs the back of his neck, a little embarrassed. He was grateful that the mask hid any blush that might have appeared on his face. Finally, he sighed with resignation and sat next to the Hokage.
"Hokage-sama, you know very well that it is my job to protect and guide you in any eventuality. Even if it's a small meeting, don't forget who you are. People can take advantage of anything." He looks out the window of the train.
"Even though I know you can defend yourself, it is my duty to protect our dear leader. Besides, I would never leave a friend alone." He gives a small smile.
Itachi watched with a warm smile as Kakashi walked and sat next to him. Once he began to talk, a slight chuckle left Itachi's lips. "I know, I know... I am sorry, you're right. I forget sometimes who I am..." He then leaned down to his bag, rummaging around a bit before pulling out a medicine bottle and two water bottles.
Raising back up, Itachi then handed a bottle to his protector. "Have you been drinking enough water today, Kakashi? What about food? Have you eaten? We can stop by and get something to eat after the meeting." He said with a warm smile before uncapping his pill bottle to swallow a few pills. He then washed it down with some water before looking back at his protector. "You better not lie either. I can tell when you lie." He said before giving a gentle nudge with his elbow.
Sakura had been delivering some bento boxes to a few recovering shinobi as part of her volunteer work at the hospital, but there were a couple of extras leftover. After she had stopped by Ichiraku Ramen and found Team 10, Shikamaru had informed her that Sasuke had been at the training grounds earlier in the day. Upon arriving at the designated area, she heard the distant clash of kunai and saw short bursts of flame. ❝ No doubt that was his Fire Style Jutsu, ❞ she muttered to herself, a hint of pride swelling in her chest that Sasuke was working so diligently.
Carrying the neatly stacked bentos, she carefully skirted the fight until she caught sight of Sasuke and… someone else. When there was a momentary pause in their sparring, she smiled and called out warmly, ❝ Hey, Sasuke-kun! I brought something for you. ❞ It didn't take long for her to recognize that the second person was probably one of his relatives, particularly when she caught a brief flash of the Sharingan before the two of them had deactivated it.
Meanwhile, Sasuke had disengaged from the training session, the Sharingan fading as he glanced over his shoulder at Sakura. A sliver of intrigue stirred in him at the mention of her having something for him, his gaze shifting toward the items she was carrying. ❝ Hn, ❞ he began, focusing on Itachi once again. ❝ Let's take a break. We can finish up after we eat. ❞
Once Sakura and Sasuke had closed the distance, he took one of the boxes and took a step to the side. While he was busy examining it, Sakura turned her attention to Itachi, gently lifting a second bento box from the stack and holding it out for him. ❝ You must be Itachi, ❞ she mused, tilting her head a fraction as she subtly studied him. ❝ He's told us a little bit about you, but it's a pleasure to meet you finally. My name is Sakura Haruno. ❞
Sasuke scowled at the remark, giving her a side glance that betrayed a glimpse of his annoyance. Still, he remained silent, not bothering to correct her. He gave a lazy wave of thanks, turning away from them with his food in hand. The younger Uchiha headed toward a nearby tree to sit down and eat in peace, leaving the two of them to their conversation.
Itachi deactivated his eyes and walked behind Sasuke. He stretched his arms and back while walking before finally arriving in front of the girl. He smiled warmly as he watched Sasuke examine the box. "A good meal like this should help replenish your strength, wouldn't you say so, Sasuke?" He then turned towards the girl, taking the bento box with a bright smile before giving a slight bow. "Thank you for the food. I'm sure Sasuke is thankful as well, even though he didn't say it."
He then rose from his bow before looking into her eyes. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Sakura. Even though Sasuke won't admit it, he has told me a lot about you and Naruto." He said with a chuckle before turning towards Sasuke's direction. He then began to speak loud enough for Sasuke to hear. "I didn't know my brother loved me enough to brag about me, though." He then turned back towards Sakura as he opened the bento. "This is really great, Sakura. Thank you. You really came at the perfect time. Sasuke was starting to make mistakes during the training. Well, more than usual. I'm sure it's cause he didn't eat properly today."
A knock broke the silence of the office room. Sakura didn’t wait for an answer before she opened the door, dressed in her white coat, carrying her medical bag that hung off her shoulder.
After shutting the door, she marched up to Itachi’s desk, giving him a stern look, “You missed your appointment you dummy. You know how important it is to keep up with your treatments. You won’t be any help to anyone if you let yourself get overworked and sick.” Sakura softly scolded. They were on such close, friendly terms that she could speak to him like this, despite him being the hokage. Plus, she was the former student of Lady Tsunade, the last hokage. Sakura had a lot more power than most other people have. Which is why she was left in charge of the entire medical division of Konoha after Shizune retired.
Sakura reached over the desk, took the paper Itachi was holding, and placed it back down on his desk, “This can wait for now. You’re taking a break and letting me do your treatment.” She left little room for him to argue. Sakura walked over to one of the empty chairs in the room, and effortlessly picked it up, bringing it over to set it next to Itachi’s chair, spinning it to face her,
“You know I’m only stern with you because I care about you, right? I don’t want to see you at the hospital one day in critical condition because you neglected your health.” This wasn’t the first time she’s had to make an office visit to him because he skipped treatment.
At the sound of the door flying open, Itachi peaked over his paper, noticing the women quickly approaching him. He was in big trouble. She scolds him every time he misses an appointment. Itachi let out a nervous chuckle as he turned to look at her."Hello Sakura... An appointment today? Oh. I... I must have gotten the dates wrong. I was just trying to finish some paperwork. I promise I wasn't trying to overdo it again..."He was blatantly lying like he did every time with his medical appointments. The number of times he was scolded by her alone was in the thousands.
He then suddenly felt the paper get snatched out of his hands. He looked at her with a nervous smile."Surely we can push the treatment to tomorrow. I'm feeling perfectly fine, Sakura. You don't need to worry so much."Another lie. He gave her a nervous smile as he hid his bloodied sleeve.
His eyes followed as she moved the chair over next to him before finally sitting right in front of him. He gave a small chuckle to her comment about his health and the hospital."Something tells me you would never let me get that far. Though spending time with you in the hospital sounds pretty nice... minus the critical condition part."He then began to roll up his sleeves. Trying his best to hide the blood as he readied himself for treatment.
Itachi sat in his chair, overlooking the Leaf Village, with paperwork stacked high as he slowly reviewed each document before signing it. Itachi stared down at the document, his vision going blurry as he tried to read it for the fifth time. He finally gave up, laying down the document and giving a tired sigh. He missed his doctor appointment, and now he is paying the price. He thought before a sudden cough came over him. He coughed violently into his sleeve, taking a few deep breaths afterward. Once his breathing returned to normal, the man looked down at his sleeve. His sleeve had small splatters of blood across it, no doubt from his cough just now. He then let out one more tired sigh as he picked up the document and began to reread it. Just a few more documents... Then I will head to the doctor... He thought as he began to sign at the bottom of the document.
