Konoha Asylum For The Criminally Insane

Chapter 1 – New Nurse For Cell 5?

Tsunade slammed the thick file down hard on her oak wood desk. She sat down and let out a frustrated sigh. “That’s the 8th nurse this year! Not to mention the 12 psychiatrists. I can’t keep sending those people in there just to wind up dead the next week or so. Ughhh what should I do Sakura-chan?” The blonde woman looked over at the pink haired girl who was busy putting on lip gloss. “…Sakura?” The girl finally looked up in response with a bored look on her face.

“I don’t know...and no offence but I don’t care. I have a date with Sasuke in a few hours so I have to be in top condition, which means no over thinking stuff because that hurts my brain.” Sakura went back to putting on her make-up and Tsunade sighed again.

“Can you at least post up some flyers for me?” Sakura looked up, slightly confused.

“Flyers for what?” She eyes a stack of blank papers.

“For a new nurse/psychiatrist for Gaara. God only knows that he needs one.”

“Sorry Tsunade but I have a date with Sasuke. As in the Sasuke...Uchiha Sasuke!” Sakura used on of her pink nailed frail hands to flip her long, obviously colored, cotton candy pink hair over her shoulder. She pulled up her frilly, pink, tank-top just enough to expose the belly button and adjusted her tight, black leather mini-skirt. Sakura slid her silver mirror into her little pink leather purse and walked briskly out of the room. Her 3-inch, black high heels made a loud, clacking, echo noise on the white marble floors.

“Oh that’s no problem...I’ll just go hang up these 250 flyers on my own. Yeah there’s no problem in that little picture. Well except the fact that my slutty little assistant is focusing on her date instead of focusing on her job! I swear to god Sakura, if I didn’t care so much for your sickly mother you would be on the streets by now!” Tsunade quickly typed up the flyer on her computer and printed out about 100. ‘250 are probably too many...plus I can just print more if I need them.’ She thought as she grabbed the stack of papers, a roll of tape, and then headed out the door.

Kyo’s bright green eyes scanned over the dull, rain worn flyer hanging on the pole next to the super market.

“No way! I am not...under any circumstances going to apply to that job!” Kyo looked over at the girl standing next to her.

“Common Kyo-chan! The job you have now isn’t going to provide enough money for you AND your 4 brothers!” Rin said.

“Yea...but still I’m not gonna go apply to a job that could very well get me killed!” Kyo glanced up at Rin who was looking sadly at the flyer.

“Well, I guess you and your brothers will be needing a place to stay soon then...I hear the foster home in Suna is really lovely. Except the cockroaches, and the flies, AND the snakes.” Kyo sighed.

“Alright...I’ll give it a shot. But if I turn up murdered in a month than YOU have to tell my brothers.” Rin smiled and dragged Kyo in the direction of the asylum.

Kyo always had a fear on mentally insane people. After all, one had killed her parents. Kyo had barely managed to escape alive from the bloody murder. Yet at the same time she felt bad for the people who suffered so she found the courage to take up the job as a psychiatrist for local hospitals. Despite her rough past, Kyo had managed to grow up a happy, energetic, tomboy.

All of her life, Kyo had been deprived of the luxurious pampering that all the other girls got. Instead she was the sporty, working type. She was the one who cooked, cleaned, and took care of her brothers because her mother and father were murdered. And on her free time Kyo liked nothing more than to play a rough game of soccer with her brothers. She was the exact opposite form those spoiled brats that walked the streets in super short shorts and little tube tops. Kyo preferred a loose green jersey over a big black long-sleeved shirt, with baggy cargo pants and a wallet chain. Never once in her life had Kyo worn any make-up, perfume, or a skirt...it just wasn’t her.

Kyo was always at her happiest when she was making others happy. Her smile was one of those ones that could melt a heart of ice and metal, so naturally, she could get close to any...and everyone. That’s was a big advantage alone than again she also had other good qualities. She was kind, sweet and loving, yet firm and strong when she needed to be. Happy and carefree, accepting and patient. All the qualities a good therapist should have. But, she wasn’t the best therapist due to the fact that she was still scared stiff when it came to people who were criminally insane.

These were the things Kyo was thinking about while she got dragged towards the Asylum. After having to cross several roads, a few rivers, and even pass through a small forest, Kyo and Rin finally arrived.

“Well...here goes nothing.” Rin said, pulling Kyo through the big iron gates. Rin was the one who asked one of the employees where the meeting room was because Kyo was still a little frantic. Just before entering the room Rin looked Kyo straight in the eyes and said...

“Kyo-chan, I believe in you! You are the best psychiatric in all of Konoha and I know that first hand. So toughen up like the little soccer playing tomboy I know you are and go kick some psycho ass!” Kyo giggled and looked up at Rin.

“Rin, I’m applying for a job to be a nurse/psychiatric...not a body guard or a boxer.” Rin smiled at Kyo and turned to walk away.

“I believe in you kid! So go ki-...help some of those psychotic asses.” Kyo pulled open the large metal door and slid quietly into the room. She picked a seat at the large oval table nearest the back.

‘No turning back now...time to grab this bull by its’ horns.’ She thought to herself. ‘Family before fear Kyo...family before fear!’
