Chapter Text
as a doctor, sakura knew the importance of confidentiality. her patients were here to get treatment, nothing more, nothing less.
but when she had to treat a wounded man with multiple tattoos on his back, she knew he was a dangerous man.
from his calloused hands, scarred body, this man lived a life of violence. but sakura didn’t mind. she was a doctor, not a police officer. she did her job and that’s it. her job was to heal people.
except that same patient kept coming back daily. it’s been a week since he was discharged, and he still kept coming back, asking for her.
now, she won’t lie. he was absolutely gorgeous . he had longer hair than most men, he was tall, muscular. absolutely easy on the eyes.
“doctor haruno, that patient is here to see you again. he says he won’t stop until he sees you.”
maybe it was time to see the eye candy again. besides, what could possibly go wrong?
everything .
the moment sakura let him in her doctor’s office, his presence was imposing. the type of presence that you knew commanded many and is an important man wherever he goes.
“so you finally allowed me to see you, doctor.”
“i’m a busy person, sir.”
“i know. the best doctor in konoha. you know, i can’t get out of my mind.” he says, the air of confidence almost suffocates sakura.
“well this breaks patient doctor ethics-“
“i’m perfectly fine and healthy now. i’m not your patient anymore. go out with me? based on my investigation, you’re single.”
he had her investigated? he must be from the type of people that sakura tends to avoid.
“i don’t even know your name.”
“uchiha sasuke.”
sakura’s heart starts racing. shit . she knows about the uchiha clan but never actually seen them. she never knew their leader was such a stunning man.
“go on a date with me. i’ll treat you.”
“i don’t go out with strangers-“
“uchiha sasuke. twenty-four. leader of the uchiha clan. i have businesses across konoha. money will never be an issue.”
she knew of the uchiha clan. it’s basically the yakuza but is covered by their multiple hotel businesses. she tends to avoid that crowd as in contrast to her saving lives, they take lives.
“i’m sorry. i don’t associate myself with the yakuza.” sakura says nervously. sasuke’s scars in his hands and body already show that he already had experience in ending lives.
“you wound me, princess. i prefer to call myself a businessman. i’m a well dignified man who makes a living. but i’ll leave my card here, in case you change your mind.”
her suspicions were right when she was handed the card. uchiha sasuke, general commander of the uchiha clan and CEO of the uchiha enterprises. of all the people she managed to catch the attention of, it just had to be the big shot of the underworld.
for the next few weeks, she felt a presence in her workplace. it was as if someone was always guarding her. at first, it felt strange. but the more it went on, she actually didn’t mind it. she often went home late due to her late night shifts, it was nice to know she had an invisible body guard.
for some reason, sasuke got ahold of her phone number and has been texting her quite regularly. it makes her question how much free time he actually has.

good evening. did you receive the flowers? they’re as beautiful as you.
this must cost a fortune. thank you, they smell so nice.
money will never be a problem if you’re with me, princess. have a nice night.
some days were more busy than others, she graduated ahead of her peers, becoming a fully pledged doctor by twenty-two, and ever since then, she has been working non-stop at the konoha general hospital. sakura has been slowly rising to fame as the best surgeon in konoha, but that also means she operates almost daily with no breaks in between.
“not eating is not good for your body, doctor.” sasuke suddenly shows up with a paper bag full of food. her invisible body guard must have informed him that she had not taken a break the whole day when it was already three in the afternoon.
“you didn’t have to.. but.. thank you.” sakura says and immediately starts eating. her head was already hurting from the lack of nutrients today. she would normally not receive food from strangers, but her hunger got the best of her today.
“slow down… you’ll choke.” sasuke says and hands her a bottle of water. “can’t you take a break? are you the only surgeon in his hospital?”
“currently? yes. my co-worker is coming back tomorrow. he’ll be able to get some patients out of my schedule.”
“he?”
“yes. sasori is originally from suna, but he transferred to konoha as per my request.”
“who is this man to you?”
“we became friends in university, he was a year older than me. he just visited his home town for a month, but he’s coming back. we’re usually the ones working together.” sakura answers, unaware of the chaos she’s about to cause.
“ sasori huh. i didn’t know you worked closely with a man.”
“i normally do. but almost all hospitals are understaffed currently, so he went back to suna to help.”
the next day, sakura greeted sasori with a big hug. “finally! i’m not alone anymore!” sakura says with relief, dragging sasori to the doctor’s lounge.
“it’s good to be back. i missed konoha. we are way more advanced than the hospitals in suna. i already told gaara to invest in the healthcare system way more.” sasori says, already scanning the pantry for some snacks.
“how have you been holding up? i didn’t know you were holding your own ground here. i was surprised when i heard that auntie tsunade retired.” sasori adds, siting beside sakura while eating a slice of cake that sasuke gave her yesterday.
“well, auntie is already in sixties despite her youthful appearance. i don’t blame her. i was able to hold the fort alone for a few weeks, but man, i’m so tired.” sakura says and leans on sasori’s shoulder, seeking comfort.
sasori wraps his arms around her, caressing her back to lessen some of the pressure and tension she was having. little did they know, shikamaru, sakura’s invisible body guard assigned by sasuke was able to see and hear everything.
a few hours went by, and it was time for sakura to clock off work. she decided she’ll go to a nice restaurant by herself after this, as she knew she badly needed it. but she didn’t expect sasuke to be waiting outside the hospital, leaning on his presumably expensive black car.
“got any plans, princess?”
“well.. i.. wanted to treat myself to a meal?”
“hop in. i’ll treat you.”
“no thanks. i’m good. i need some alone time.”
for the first time in sasuke’s life, he experienced rejection.
“what can i do for you to say yes?”
“say please.” sakura says with a smirk. she does enjoy playing with his ego just a little.
“go out with me, please?”
“deal.”
the moment sakura got into his car, she immediately felt how much money sasuke really had. his car was stunning, even for someone who barely knows anything about cars.
“are you and sasori together?”
sakura laughed out loud. “i knew it. i have an invisible body guard in the hospital.”
“are you together?”
“hmmm? what will you do with my answer?” sakura asks, pushing his buttons.
“i need to know if i need to steal you from him or not.”
“such confidence.” sakura remarks, “but no. we aren’t together. do what you will with that.”
that same day, sasuke took her to his most luxurious hotel, fed her the most expensive dish they offered while he told her his new plans on being an investor in the konoha general hospital.
“are you really going to invest millions just to keep me away from other men? i didn’t know you worked like that, sasuke-kun .”
“anything for you. as i said, money will never be an issue. you could never work a day in your life and i’ll be able to provide for your every whim.”
“so how much money do you really have? i’m just curious.”
sakura’s eyes widened the moment sasuke showed her his digital back account details. “that’s a lot of zeroes!”
“could be yours if you say yes to me.” sasuke says, swirling his glass of wine.
“you take lives, i save lives.”
“if you say yes, i’ll never kill with my bare hands again.”
“you’d be willing to do that for me?”
“there’s nothing i won’t do for you.”
at age twenty-four, doctor haruno sakura found herself being tied down to the top yakuza in konoha, uchiha sasuke.
to say sasuke loved with all his heart and pockets would be an understatement. ever since they made it official a week ago, sakura has had her lunch and snacks delivered to her by sasuke’s men.
from: uchiha sasuke
tell me if you don’t like a dish and i’ll punish the chef.
i thought i told you to lay off the violence?
sorry princess, old habits die hard. i won’t do anything.
good. you’ll get a kiss later.
for a scary man like sasuke to be wrapped around sakura’s finger was a sight to see. uchihas were known to be devoted lovers, and sasuke was the very definition of it. he’ll do anything to make sakura happy.
