Just a Brief Moment

Author: Wow! This has been a really long hiatus. I have had complete and total writers block since I started college. Well, I can’t necessarily promise more chapters in the immediate future (although I have come up with some titillating ideas), but at least I updated... cookie for me! I do have some disappointing news though as this is, once again, not the lemon I promised. I have started that idea and it is about 3/4 of the way finished, but I am currently stuck and am unable to unstick myself in the plot. As a small reward for anyone who has managed to maintain SOME hope that I will ever post this story (I, myself have doubted). I will post a small preview to the lemon story at the end of this one-shot. I do not necessarily like this story, but I finished it so I thought since I was just going to be inactive anyways I would just post it. So, here it is!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter Three: Hospitals

Kagome sighed warily as she made her way to exam room ten. The Uchiha heir was injured again, for the third time this week. He obviously needed to tone down his training if he was getting seriously hurt this often. He was pushing himself too hard. His body obviously couldn’t take the physical abuse that he was putting it through recently. It made Kagome worry for him. After all, before she had treated him last month, Sasuke had only been to the hospital a couple of times in his whole life. But now, the Uchiha seemed to sustain injuries frequently and he made an appearance in the hospital almost bi-weekly. Kagome grabbed Sasuke’s medical record and made her way into the exam room.

‘This is starting to become a bad habit’, Sasuke thought as he watched his blood trail slowly down his chest. Maybe he should not have cut himself so deeply, but Kagome was starting to question his frequent hospital visits and he had wanted it to look realistic. If Kagome ever suspected he was cutting himself, Sasuke was sure that he wouldn’t need to hurt himself anymore, because she would kill him. A little over a month ago, if someone had told Sasuke that he would be cutting himself to get into the hospital in order to spend time with a girl, the Uchiha heir would have walked away from them because Uchihas don’t deal with crazy people and obviously that person would have to have a few screws loose. However, here he was, sitting in an exam room, dripping blood from a self-inflicted wound, all in order to see a certain blue-eyed doctor with killer legs and a tendency to wear indecently short skirts. It wasn’t his fault, the girl was absolutely gorgeous with those luscious raven locks and THOSE LEGS, but while she was a very good doctor and usually very bright , she just couldn’t take a hint. Normally the Uchiha couldn’t beat the females off with a stick, but Kagome was different. It just figured that the first time he finds a woman that he likes, one that he would be willing to settle down with to restart his clan, she was completely oblivious to his attraction to her.

“Good evening, Sasuke.” Kagome greeted warmly as she came through the door. “Back again so soon? I’m starting to think you like it here.”


“Hardly.” Sasuke grunted truthfully. Sasuke had hated hospitals ever since he woke up in one after the destruction of his clan. Logically, he knew that hospitals were about saving lives, but Sasuke, like many others who have lost someone close to them, couldn’t separate hospitals and death in his mind. Sasuke had avoided hospitals as often as he could, the first time he had even set foot in one voluntarily since his clan’s demise had been a month ago when he met Kagome and if it weren’t for her he definitely wouldn’t be in one now. ‘Kagome is worth it though.’ Sasuke mused as he slowly appraised her body. He took a particular delight in noticing that her skirt was red today.

“And how did you get injured this time?” Kagome asked as she got to work cleaning up his wound.

“Training.” Sasuke answered briefly, his attention was somewhere else. The wound hurt like hell, but Sasuke was used to being in pain because of his training. What was really entertaining his thoughts was the distance between himself and Kagome. She was standing so close to him that he could feel her puffs of breath on his skin, could smell that exotic floral scent of hers. She was also standing in just the right position for him to get a good glimpse down her shirt. Sasuke shifted his hands in his lap, covering the evidence of his attraction.

“Alright.” Kagome said pulling away to lay the medical supplies aside. “The wound is clean so let’s get it closed up shall we.” Kagome approached him again and laid her hands flat against his chest. Sasuke suppressed a shiver and concentrated on the feel of her chakra as it surged into his body, mending the shallow cuts and bruises that littered his body from training with Team 7 earlier this afternoon. When the wound on his chest was halfway healed, Kagome retracted her hands.

“I hate to do this Sasuke, but you need to be more careful when you train and by healing you all the time, I think I’m just helping you abuse your body.” Kagome said sadly. “I’m going to leave the rest of that wound and let it heal on its own. As long as you’re careful with it it shouldn’t reopen and should be gone entirely in a few weeks. It may be sore, but I’m hoping that the soreness might teach you to respect your body more. I would hate to see you get severely injured because you aren’t caring for yourself.” She admonished before adding. “Now, I don’t want to see you in here again for at least another week. Alright?”

Sasuke nodded feeling shell shocked. A whole week of no Kagome? No short skirts? No floral scent? No warm touches? Unacceptable. Maybe he’d just hospitalize the dobe instead? Sasuke numbly put on his shirt and followed Kagome’s perfect legs out the door.

“Yo, Sasuke, Kagome!” Naruto called out from down the hallway scaring several nurses who shot dark looks at the bouncing blond who was quickly approaching them, leaving no chance for escape. “How are you Kagome?” Naruto asked earning a smile from the girl and a glare from an Uchiha.

“I’m fine, Naruto.” Kagome responded affectionately. Clearly the girl was close to Naruto. But just how close were they and why hadn’t Naruto ever mentioned her? “How are you?” Kagome asked the dobe.

“Fine, fine!” Naruto said excitedly before turning to the Uchiha who had one of the darkest looks on his face that Naruto had ever seen. Clearly the Uchiha was upset, but why? Was there something wrong with him? “Hey, Sasuke, what are you doing here? You were fine a few hours ago after our training session.” Naruto asked worriedly.

Sasuke could feel the flush raise on his cheeks as Kagome turned to glare at him. “I thought you said you got injured during training.” She bit out between clenched teeth.


“I did.” Sasuke said forcing the blush from his cheeks and injecting the practiced Uchiha stoicism into his words.

“No you didn’t.” Naruto protested.

“Yes, I did.” Sasuke said sounding annoyed. “You just didn’t notice because I’m better at hiding these things than you are dobe.”

Naruto turned an in human shade of red and yelled out, “No, you’re not! You’re not better than me at anything. I could totally kick your ass, teme.”

“Hn.” Sasuke sneered turning away to walk down the hall. “In your dreams maybe.” He spit over his shoulder.

“Fine. I’ll prove it.” Naruto shouted following after Sasuke. “We’re gonna go spar. Right now!”

“You’re on, dobe.” Sasuke smirked.

“Um... but... you’re not... healed.” Kagome weakly protested as the boys strolled out of the hospital. “Ugh!” She growled marching back to the nurses station. “There is something mentally wrong with men.”

A bright beam of sunlight welcomed Sasuke as he walked out of the hospital. He had come so close to being caught because of his big-mouthed, florescent wearing, failure of a shinobi teammate. Of course, Sasuke conveniently chose to forget that without said teammate’s short temper he couldn’t have distracted Kagome and wouldn’t have gotten out of the mess, but, since the whole thing was the dobe’s fault after all, that could be forgivably overlooked.

Naruto caught up to Sasuke seconds later. “So, how did you really hurt yourself?” He asked watching the Uchiha intently.

“Hn... I accidently cut myself while practicing throwing kunai.” Sasuke replied carefully keeping his eyes trained away from the blond.

Naruto laughed. “Kagome might be innocent enough to believe that, but you are talking to Konoha’s number one prankster. I know every trick in the book.”

Sasuke snorted. Naruto was more like Konoha’s number one dunce who couldn’t even pronounce, let alone know, every trick in the book.

“You like her. Don’t you?” Naruto asked suddenly serious.

Sasuke shot him a glare and, much to his dismay, blushed... again. Dammit! Uchiha’s don’t blush, and he had, twice in, what, ten minutes? And, of coarse, Naruto just had to bust out laughing. Sasuke growled and increased his pace.

“Ne, Sasuke!” Naruto yelled, running to catch up to the fuming Uchiha. “Sorry. It’s just I’ve never seen you blush before. You reminded me of a girl.”

Sasuke could feel the muscle ticking in his forehead. If Naruto kept talking, Team 7 was going to be short one blond.

“Sorry!” Naruto said again. “I’ll stop.”

Sasuke knew that was the best he was going to get from the blond and forced himself to calm down, slowing his pace back to normal. They walked for a while in silence before Naruto asked “Sasuke? Can you answer just one more question?”

“What, dobe?”

“Why didn’t you just ask her out?”

Yes, hospitalizing the dobe sounded like a very good idea.


So, there was that marvelous little piece of literary history. I want to thank all of the people who have reviewed last time. I am also planning to put up a series of one-shot Itachi/Kagome stories and a series of one-shot Kurama/Kagome stories. I have decided that one-shots work better for me because I can’t seem to finish chapter stories ^_^;. Also, if anyone wants to give out ideas you might give me a story that inspires me to write faster since my muse appears to be very fickle. Anyways, enough talking. Here is the preview I promised and I’ll see you guys next time.

~~~~~~~~~~Chapter (whenever I finish it): Punishment (Lemon)

Sasuke’s lips trailed down Kagome’s flesh to the top of her breast. Then he rose back up in front of her and claimed her lips harshly. Kagome felt a pulling sensation at her chest and then felt the cool metal of the kunai slide between her breasts as Sasuke sliced open her bra. Kagome’s gasp was muffled by Sasuke’s lips and Sasuke took her gasp as a chance to plunge his tongue into her mouth. He dominated her mouth, firing her up, before he, once again, pulled away to trail kisses down her neck to her chest. This time, Sasuke didn’t stop and he nuzzled her breasts before eagerly sucking a nipple into his mouth. Kagome gasped and arched against the tree, pushing herself as close to Sasuke as she could. Sasuke grinned and pulled away chuckling, ignoring yet another whine of protest from her.

“No, this is for me. I’m not doing this for your enjoyment.” He said as he once again let his hands wander lower. Her skirt was the next thing to go. This time Sasuke didn’t even pause to examine her with the garment on, he immediately slashed a line through the black skirt and then pulled it from her body before slicing off the remainders of her shirt and bra from her as well. Kagome could feel the heat emanating from her face and she turned to hide her face in her shoulder. She didn’t even want to see the expression on his face when he saw her panties. Of all the days that she would pass up wearing one of the lacy or silky pieces in her possession it figures that it would be the one day where she was molested by the Uchiha heir. All things considered, Sasuke probably didn’t find Hello Kitty boy shorts to be enticing.

For what felt like minutes, Sasuke did nothing and Kagome continued to hide her face in shame. Finally, when she was beginning to think that he had just abandoned her naked and tied to a tree, his hands were on her hips again and Sasuke was sliding the panties down her legs. Kagome’s eyes shot open and she watched him raise the panties up to eye level.

“I think I’ll keep these.” He said a smirk on his lips. The look in his eyes was so intense it shot fire through her veins. After carefully setting the panties to the side with his own clothes, Sasuke returned to her. He let his gaze slide slowly down her body and Kagome wriggled under the scrutiny. Sasuke stepped closer to her, sliding his fingers up her thigh and then up her hip to finally wrap his arm around her waist. His body was pressed closely against hers, so close that Kagome could feel how warm and hard he was through the towel. His lips pressed against hers and Kagome couldn’t stop herself from kissing back. Kagome wanted a fast and hard kiss, like their previous ones, but Sasuke kept the pace slow, tormenting her with a lazy kiss. She was huffing in frustration by the time he pulled away from her.

“Now,” Sasuke breathed into her ear. “I’m going to start the real punishment.”
