Chapter 11: Trust

For the rest of the day, Sakura dutifully did her work like usual. Everything is normal, just like any other day as she tended on patients like always. Until it was almost eight in the evening when Sakura rested in the Doctors' lounge, sitting on the couch as she sighed and put her arm up on her forehead.

Sakura involuntarily hissed as she felt a slight pain shot through her right upper arm and she quickly but carefully took off her coat. Seeing her bandage arm reminded Sakura of last night's events as fear slowly crept its way towards her, thoughts like what if other group of men were waiting for her when she gets back to her apartment, there's no telling what will happen to her then.

She shook her head to clear her thoughts as she stood up and went towards the cabinet to take a medical kit. The bandage on her arm showed some blood as her wound probably re-opened because of her overworking herself again.

Walking straight to the adjacent bathroom, Sakura unwrapped the bandage before applying antiseptics and dressing her wound again with a new bandage.

When she walked out of the bathroom, she noticed some of her colleague Doctors in the longue preparing to eat dinner.

"Doctor Haruno, are you logging out early?" one of the Doctors asked when they saw Sakura with her coat on her arm and took her bag.

"Yes, just call me if there's an emergency," she said before walking out of the room with a wave as her colleague Doctors bid her farewell.

Sakura searched her bag for her car key when she remembered Jugo drove her to the Hospital earlier. She has to either call Ino or book a taxi. But Sakura felt exhausted already that she just wanted to get home and take a much needed sleep.

Upon exiting the Hospital, Sakura took her phone and searched for an available taxi, when she found one that was nearby, she clicked to book a ride.

But all of a sudden, someone yanked her phone from her hand. Sakura was about to yell a protest when she realized who was in front of her.

"Sasuke...-kun?"

Sasuke stood in front of her, one hand in his pocket as his other hand held her phone, canceling the booked taxi before giving Sakura back her phone. The pinkette was in a state of confusion as she frowned at Sasuke who suddenly appeared like a mushroom out of nowhere. "What are you doing here, Sasuke-kun?"

Without uttering a single word, Sasuke took her wrist and started to walk. Sakura couldn't bring herself to pull her hand as she followed Sasuke towards a dark blue car. He only stopped when they neared the car.

Sasuke opened the door to the passenger seat but Sakura just remained standing without moving an inch. "What exactly is going on, Sasuke-kun?"

"You're coming with me," he stated simply as he nodded his head towards the open door.
