Peaceful Waters

WOW! So many reviews so fast!! I feel loved!! Hope I can live up to your desires! ::sweatdrop::

Sasuke flashed into the cottage his old mentor and fellow team-mates shared and looking around quickly for Sakura, noticed the bathroom door was the only one close ran over to it.

“Sakura come out quickly we have an injured shinobi,” Sasuke told Sakura through the bathroom door.


“What?” Sakura asked testily as she had just gotten relaxed, “I can’t hear you!”


Sakura rolled her eyes and crossed her arms in the tub, if they didn’t want her presence in the hot springs they could at least let her enjoy this time in the bath. It was a nice big one with jets that she was putting to good use. The sound of them, along with the naturally echoey nature of a bathroom, made cross door communication practically impossible.


“I said we need a medic now!” Sasuke growled through the wood.


“WHAT?” Sakura called.


“Oh for Gods SAKE!” Sasuke fumed as he grabbed the knob and forced the door open eliciting a shriek and two Kunai thrown at his head from Sakura, which he easily dodged. Although he couldn’t help but be a tiny bit impressed that she was ready for attack.


“WHAT THE FUCK-” Sakura started covering her breasts with one arm and reaching for another kunai with the other determined not to miss if Sasuke didn’t have a damn good excuse.


“Genma is here and he’s injured. He just passed out and he’s coughing up blood so-”was as far as Sasuke got before Sakura shot up out of the tub naked as a jay bird and ran to her room to grab her medical kit.


Sasuke just stood there frozen for a moment as the dashing (pun intended) sight of his apparently not “flat and curve-less” teammate whooshed past him. He had time to blink twice before the door to the cottage burst open and Kakashi strode in with Genma, Sai and Neji at his heels. Hearing this Sakura rushed out of her room still dripping wet and naked but clutching a well stocked medical bag. Kakashi dropped Genma a bit more heavily onto the couch then he would have liked at the sight while Neji politely averted his eyes wiping a bit at his nose and Sai stared openly his ever present smile suddenly not as fake as usual


Kakashi stared out of the corner of his eye and couldn’t help but feel like he was living out a chapter out of one of his books as a beautiful pink haired teenager, with water like dew on a morning rose gently clinging to her, knelt concerned next to the hurt jounin on the couch wearing only a soaking wet towel around his waist. He had a brief moment of wishing that he was the injured one until Sakura interrupted his musings with “Move the coffee table over and lay him on the floor. I need more space.”


It took a second but Neji and Sai complied moving the table as Sasuke came over to help Kakashi and Sakura laid Genma on the floor. Sakura started the flow of chakra to her hands immediately probing Genma’s body for injuries. He was running a dangerously high fever and his pulse was quick and thready. He had numerous injuries but one that was very serious. His spleen was ruptured, it seemed like it was small rip at first but had recently split wider. Sakura thought it may still be small enough that she could mend the tear instead of removing the spleen but she wasn’t sure yet. In addition to this he had a torn rotator cuff, severe bruising along his back and front, several small stab wounds and a sprained knee.


“Where did you find him?” Sakura asked as she continued her diagnostics


“He was in the hot spring,” Neji answered.


“WHAT? Why would he be in there with these kinds of injuries?!”Sakura fumed.


“He said he felt fine. Tsunade-sama told him to come here to use our medic and he said he was trying to soak his shoulder so he could meet back up with his team to go home,” Sai answered.


“He said he felt fine!” Sakura bellowed, “What the hell is wrong with you guys! Why can’t you admit when you’re injured! He could have died if he was in that hot water any longer. I can’t even imagine how painful it must have been!”


“He must be even worse than you!” Sakura spared a second to shoot a meaningful glare at Kakashi.


Kakashi just rolled his eye skyward as he asked, “Is there anything we can do to help?”


“Yes. This is going to be very painful for him and he may wake up as I’m healing him and I’m going to need to focus all my energy on the repairs. I have medicine to knock him out but it will take some time to take full effect with the level of pain he’ll be in,”Sakura instructed grabbing a vial and syringe out of her bag and sticking him with it,” I need you three to hold him down. His left arm should be almost immobile so I’ll just hold it down with my leg but you guys take a limb.


“Right,” Kakashi answered holding Genma’s right arm and shoulder down. Neji took the right leg and Sai took the left. Sasuke having disappeared somewhere.


“OK I’m going to start now. Hold him tight,” Sakura instructed sending her soothing chakra through Genma’s body.


The first thing Genma felt was that the pain on the left side of his chest must have been multiplying exponentially while he was unconscious, the second was the searing pain in his shoulder and knee, and third was that all the other scraps and bruises making themselves known. He groaned in agony and tried to move, finding the fourth thing he felt was strong hands pinning him down to a hard surface. Being a ninja this went against and instinct he had and he shot his eyes open to get his bearings, his head felt light and dizzy and he was sure the floor was spinning at an alarming rate. As his vision focused a little he saw that he was in a room and he wasn’t sure where it was all he knew was that he wanted to escape and get away from this pain. In his delirious state his thoughts ran along the lines of “If I can just break away it won’t hurt anymore” and he began to struggle away from those secure hands pinning him down as fiercely as he could, which in his injured state was actually still quite powerful. He felt the adrenaline rush through his body as he pushed but to no avail and deep down he knew he couldn’t get away from these things holding him down. He forced his eyes to focus more so he could see who was doing this to him and as his vision cleared he realized that he must be dead and in hell and for the first time in as long as he could remember he almost started to cry.


“Is this hell created just for me?” he whispered piteously, “There’s a beautiful naked woman leaning over me and I can’t even move. Also the pain is pretty bad.”


Kakashi couldn’t help rolling his eyes at this feeling Genma would probably pull through. Life threatening injuries, no doubt blindingly painful and the first thing he notices is a naked girl he can’t fondle.

“Your’re not dead yet dobe,” Kakashi informed the senbon chewer. “That’s your medic, you interrupted her bath.”


Genma quickly pulled his eyes over to the masked ninja and as his thoughts became a little clearer as Sakura worked he stopped struggling against his fellow shinobi.


“Kakashi?” he asked making sure it was his friend.


“Yo,” Kakashi replied.


“What-”Genma started.


“Please try not to speak Genma-san, the injection I gave you should put you to sleep soon. You are severely injured and I don’t want you wasting your energy,” Sakura lectured as she worked.


“Anything you say gorgeous,” Genma answered causing him to start coughing again. He decided to remain still and enjoy the view until the drug Sakura gave him did it’s job.


“Here,” Sasuke said coming from the bathroom holding a robe, “you should cover yourself Sakura.”


“Thanks Sasuke I-”Sakura started sporting a small smile and light blush as she reached for the garment.


“No one wants to see you like that,” Sasuke continued in an emotionless voice earning him angry glances from every male in the room and a deeper blush from Sakura in both embarrassment and anger.


“Maybe you are gay,” Genma choked out in a whisper sparing Sasuke an evil glare, which Sasuke returned. As he surveyed the proud Uchiha however Genma caught sight of something that made one side of his mouth curl up in a smirk, “Or maybe not.”


He was quiet enough that only Kakashi and Sasuke heard him Kakashi glanced up and seeing the same thing smiled under his mask careful not to let it touch his eye and enrage the volatile teenager. Sasuke turned red enough as it was at the comment, his eyes that is, not a blush of any sort.


Sensing trouble Kakashi butted in. “Sasuke why don’t you go find Naruto and help him bring Genma’s things over.”


“Hn,” answered Sasuke as he turned and left the cottage not looking back.


Sakura missed most of this as she quickly put on her robe drawing it tight around her and worked on saving Genma. The medicine was kicking in and the special Jounin’s eyes began to droop and then close as his body fully relaxed. As he did Sakura instructed her team that they could let up now and to bring her some bowls of water and lay them beside her then go about their business. She would need to do the rest by herself from here.


Sakura worked for hours on healing Genma, focusing her chakra into the Jounin. She carefully knitted his spleen back together and began brining down the inflammation. An enlarged spleen could mean months of forced bed rest and for most ninja’s that was practically impossible. Most would try to go out and train after they began to feel better causing the spleen to rupture again. Easier by far to just make it as normal as possible even though it was much more difficult for the medic. Sakura used the water to do an altered version of the poison extraction technique to remove the blood that had poured into Genma’s body from the ruptured organ. When the life threatening injury had been reversed Sakura focused on his shoulder and knee. If not fixed properly these injuries could lead to a forced retirement from ninja life and she took great care with them restoring his functionality back to 100%. She then moved on to his stab wounds and bruising closing the wounds, making sure they were clear of infection and healing the black and blue angry looking marks that covered his front an back making them fade away into nothing. When she finished Genma was completely healed and all he would need was some rest and food to replenish what she had used from his body to heal itself at such an accelerated rate. His color was much better and he was breathing easily, his pulse restored to a healthy resting rate. It was now very late at night, or very early morning she wasn’t sure which and the strain of the healing along with the realization that she had been kneeling on a wood floor the whole time hit her all at once as she tried to stand almost falling until Naruto caught her.


“Sakura-chan are you ok?” he asked concerned. “We’ve been taking turns watching you to see if you need anything. Is it over? Is he all better?”


“I’m fine Naruto,” Sakura answered smiling sleepily. “Just worn out.”

Sakura glanced down at the sleeping Genma and noticed he was still only wearing a towel. She didn’t want him to break out in a fever after all her work and laying on the floor in a towel wouldn’t help at all.


“We need to get him to a bed now, where’s his room?” Sakura questioned Naruto as she began to stretch a little letting the circulation come back to her legs and feet.


“We moved his stuff to Kakashi’s room and he took Genma’s, it was the cottage next door to ours. We thought you’d probably need to moniter him for awhile,” Naruto answered smiling. He was always so amazed at how cool Sakura was being able to heal like that. If he didn’t like Hinata so much now he would have jumped her in a minute, but he was nothing if not faithful. Even if he did want to peek.


“Great!” Sakura answered gathering her chakra one more time to use her strength and picked up Genma off the floor. It looked hilarious this small pink haired girl carrying a towel clad 5 foot 11 inch man into his room and Naruto couldn’t help but crack a wide smile.


“I’ve got it from here Naruto. Go to bed. I’ll eat with you guys when I get up ok?” Sakura smiled back at her whiskered friend as she carried Genma into the room.


“Ok Sakura-chan, let me know if you need anything!” Naruto waved as he left.


Sakura carried Genma into the dark room and laid him on the bed. Surprisingly even after all this time his towel was still very wet in someplaces. It had to go. Sakura pulled it off before it could soak through the bedding and went to go turn on the lights. She flipped the switch and saw that Genma’s pack had been placed on the chair by the writing desk. It looked fairly empty though so she figured one of the boys had unpacked for him. She made her way over to the wardrobe and saw his cloths rolled up into tight little balls for packing pretty much just dumped into the bottom. She rolled her eyes and sighed wondering which one of the slobs had made this mess. She sorted through it all and managed to find what she needed; a short sleeved shirt and a pair of boxer briefs should be all he needed especially with the warm blankets the resort provided. It wasn’t good to get cold but it was equally bad to be too warm. Grabbing the garments she turned back towards the bed seeing naked Genma for the first time.


“EEK!” Sakura squeaked eyes going wide and the hand not grabbing the clothes going to cover her mouth. Embarrased she ran over to the door and slammed it shut then pressed herself against it staring again at the peacefully sleeping Jounin. It wasn’t as if Sakura hadn’t seen a naked man before. She was a medic after all, she’d done dissections of dead people for goodness sake. She’d been exposed to naked men in her personal life as well. It wasn’t as if Sasuke was ever going to thaw enough to take her and a girl had her needs. Genma however was a fully adult male in the prime of his life, and the prime of his body just happened to be the largest she had ever seen. She felt guilty but she couldn’t keep her eyes off of it. He must have been having a nice dream or he was early for his morning wood because he was at full attention. She was taking all this in and attempting to compose herself when she heard a knock at the door that sent her shooting away from it like it burned her.


“Sakura, I thought I hear something are you ok? Do you need assistance?” what sounded like Neji’s voice came through the door.


“NO! No, I’m fine. Just getting Genma into bed, I mean to sleep. You know for rest. Just fine in here, I thought I saw a mouse,” Sakura babbled slapping her forehead after she realized what an idiot she sounded like.


There was quiet on the other side of the door for a moment before she heard “I don’t see any mice with my Byakugan, it should be fine. Get some sleep Sakura, you don’t sound quite right.”


“Phew,” Sakura sighed slumping with relief. She tensed back up almost immediately as she realized she still needed to dress Genma.


Why did she feel like she was doing something dirty?


“Maybe because you want to,” inner Sakura butted in.


“Shut up,” Sakura mumbled to herself gathering her courage and all of her professional dignity and marching over to the bed.


She started with the safest piece of clothing, the shirt. She gently lifted Genma’s head and slid the shirt over it taking a moment to admire his chocolate brown hair and handsome features. She then took his right arm and guided it through the sleeve, following with the left a bit more carefully since it was freshly healed and probably still tender. She then lifted him into a slight sitting position so she could pull the shirt down taking in his strong pecks and washboard abs. Like any ninja he had scars but to Sakura they seemed almost an asset highlighting the perfect form of his body, the few flaws making the rest seem even better. Concluding her shirting of the Jounin she took a deep breath and grabbed the underwear. She walked to the end of the bed and slid them over his feet tugging them past shapely calves after that it got a bit more difficult. His thighs were very muscular and boxer briefs were the sexiest underwear in the world, but that was because of the way they clung to the body. This would be much easier if he were standing up. Of course if he was standing he’d be awake and she wouldn’t be dressing him. She carefully put one arm under his lower back supporting him as best she could and lifted the senbon ninja slightly off the bed grabbing the underwear and quickly pulling them up as best she could. Holding him in this position was putting her face and well everything much to close to his member. She was able to get it most of the way up this way but she didn’t want it to snap down on him, that would be quite an embarrassing way to wake the man up. She set him back down still holding the underwear away from not so little Genma and used both hands to pull the stupid thing up over the tip hoping she wasn’t giving him a wedgy. As she did so she noticed something strange. It looked like Genma had a fairly large tattoo running across the length of the lowest part of his belly right above his manhood. Lifting the underwear so she could see it better, it was still partly blocked by his erection but it was pretty easy to read the thick bold characters that spelled out “Big Daddy”. Sakura replaced the boxer briefs to their upright and locked position and couldn’t help giggling a little as she arranged the blankets over Genma.


“He must have been either really confident or really drunk when he got that,” Sakura snickered, “Probably both.”


She turned off the lights and made her way to her own room throwing her robe over her chair, tossing on a shirt from the wardrobe and crawling into soft luxurious bed. As she drifted off to sleep she was sure that she would be having some pretty nice dreams involving “Big Daddy”.


Ok I guess this isn’t a one-shot. I don’t think I’m capable of such a thing. I don’t know how much more there will be but there WILL be more as soon as I have time and energy to write more. Probably a couple of days. Please R&R!!
