Abused Without Reason (Sasuke Love Story)

Painful Memory

(Four days later) Sasuke's POV

I stared down at the pond, thinking about Miu. I hope she's alright. If it wasn't for Sakura, she wouldn't have run off. When Naruto came back after searching for her, he wouldn't tell us anything. I know he's hiding something from me.

"Sasuke-kun, the fish is done!" Sakura called. I looked at her with a glare. It's all her fault. She's the reason why Miu's gone. "Sasuke-kun! Come on! Eat it while it's still hot!" She called. "I'm not hungry." I said coldly. I walked past her, walking somewhere else so I could be alone.

Where are you, Miu? Either she's dead or she's lost. I just hope she's lost. I'm scared, thinking she's dead. My hand clutched the front of my shirt, where my chest was. It hurts. My heart is pounding. Why does it hurt every time I think of her?

Why does it hurt? What does it mean? "Miu... where are you?" I asked.

Sasori's POV

"Just breathe, Miu." I said as I dabbed a cold wash cloth on her forehead. Miu panted as her eyes were closed. She was having another attack and her fever has come back. I went into my bag and took out a syringe. I gently took my cousin's arm and injected the syringe in her arm.

Miu coughed a few times before panting again. I don't know if her attack was because of the mark or because she's sick. I just have to get her back to normal. I took off my cloak then draped it over her so she won't get any more sick than she already is.

Miu calmed down after a few minutes and her breathing went back to normal. The reason why we haven't been on the move to look for her team is because Miu keeps falling on her face every three steps she takes. Her fever has come and gone a few times, but now it's getting worse.

I sighed. "You can't sleep here. You'll worsen your fever." I said before picking her up. I put her on my back and began to walk forward. What the hell does her team look like? I should just take her back with me. Right here, right now.

But I think I'll just make things worse for her. She was planning on leaving anyway, right? But with that damn snake. I have to keep Miu away from him. Looks like I'll keep my eye on her. After a while of walking, I saw a tower. That was her objective in the first place, right?

Maybe her team has the Earth Scroll. I'll just leave her inside the tower and have someone get her. I ran towards the tower. Once I was there, I went through the door and set her on the floor. "Stay away from Orochimaru, Miu." I whispered before leaving.

Miu's POV

"Are you sure?"

"There's no mistaking it."

"If that's the case, then where are the others?"

"We're not sure. We're thinking she got separated from the group."

"How did she even make it this far? Do you think she got help?"

"By the looks of it. But who do you think helped her? I thought everyone in the forest were enemies?"

What's going on? Where am I? It's too bright in here. I opened my eyes as I coughed. "Miu!" I turned my head, spotting Iruka and Kakashi.

"Iruka-sensei? Kakashi-sensei? What's going on? Where am I?" I asked. I noticed an IV needle was in my arm. "You're in the infirmary. We found you near the entrance of the tower. You had a high fever and you were burning up." Iruka explained.

I blinked then sat up. "Where's Naruto and the others?" I asked. "They could be still in the forest." Kakashi said. "Oh, wait," I went into my pocket pulled out the Heaven Scroll. "The scroll?!" Iruka said. "You still had it?" Kakashi asked.
