24.

Sasuke ran towards the hospital. He burst through the doors and accidentally bumped into one of the nurses there.

"Oh, I'm so sorry sir, i-"

"How long." Sasuke Interuppted. 

"What?"

"How long has she been  missing?!"

The nurse flinched a little. "A hour sir."

An hour?! She has been missing since an hour?!  Sasuke hoped and prayed to find her safe and sound. He hoped that it wasn't Aku, he hoped that she was still alive. He hoped that she was.. Safe.

"Darn it.. Where is she.." Sasuke muttered when he stepped out of the hospital. "Sakura?!" He yelled out.

He ran out further.

"Sakura?!" He yelled again. "Darn, where are you?!"

He ran all the way to ichiraku.

"Sakura!"

He ran to the house.

"Sakura?!"

He ran out into the forest.

"Sakura!!"

He ran pass the gates.

"Sakura!!" He yelled loudly. Was he embarrassed by doing this? Maybe. But this was his darn wife that was missing.

Was this just a misunderstanding? Did she just go somewhere to be alone? To take a break? Sasuke growled at that thought. Sure, he would be glad that she was safe, but he would be angry because he screamed her name several times thinking something bad happened to her, but she was just somewhere sitting down. Having alone time.

Suddenly, there was rustling in the bushes, and Sasuke quickly turned his head around.

"Someone there?" He said, gripping his Katana.

"y-yes.." Said a voice.

A.. Familiar  voice.

That he recognized.

His eyes lightened up, and he ran towards the bushes making rustling.

A arm popped out of the bushes.  Sasuke quickly grabbed  the arm and pulled it out of the bush.

It was Sakura. And she was covered in cuts, bruises, and there were bleeding wounds all over her body.

"What the.." Sasuke said. "What happened?!"

Sakura flinched when Sasuke's hand wrapped around her arm that had a large bruise.

"I was just talking a walk.. And.. I was attacked."

Attacked?  Sasuke gritted his teeth. Someone had attacked his woman?

"Who." He growled. "Who attacked you?" He wrapped an arm around her waist to help her keep standing up.

"Sasuke-kun, it hurts."  Sakura said, and gripped onto Sasuke's shirt. "Look.. I can tell you later. But you got to get me to the hospital.."

Sasuke looked her up and down. 

"Alright." Sasuke said while sighing. He picked her up, and she blushed, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You didn't have to pick me up." Sakura said, while she trembled as a wave of pain rushed over her.

Sasuke looked at her, and saw that she looked uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Pain. By my stomach area." She shifted her legs, and bit her lip in pain.

"Is there another wound?" Sasuke asked, and placed a hand on her stomach. Sasuke lifted up her shirt, and saw a big long cut across her stomach.

His heart nearly stopped. He had to get her to the hospital fast, or else.

"Where's Sarada..?" Sakura asked.

"I think she's at home." Sasuke said, arriving at the hospital. "I bet she's worried about you right now."

"Is that Sakura?!" Yelled a voice down the hallway when Sasuke walked into the hospital with Sakura.

"Help her." Sasuke said to Tsunade. "She has a large wound on her stomach."

Tsunade's eyes widened, then she nodded.

Doctors placed her on a stretcher and rushed her towards a treatment room.

Sasuke took a few steps.

"And where do you think you're going?" Tsunade said to the Uchiha. "Not going to stay until she's done?"

Sasuke looked down. Then shook his head.

"I can't stay. I have to investigate." Sasuke said.

"And what now?"

"On what Aku's doing, and who the heck hurt my wife." Sasuke said coldly, and walked out of the place.
