Chapter 55: Blood and Ring

It has been a while since Sakura get to drive on her own. Sasuke would always have someone accompany her or he would drive her instead. But this time, it was only Sakura and she felt somewhat glad about it. She missed this kind of experience, driving alone in the busy street of Tokyo as she always did before she met Sasuke. But it's not that she regret meeting him, it was the kind of fate that Sakura would never trade for anything.

Her eyes briefly looked on the ring resting around her finger, it wasn't her wedding ring but the ring Sasuke gave her when he proposed. Sakura never wore it unless they're going outside, as Sasuke would always remind her to wear it. At first Sakura thought it was just normal but after some time, she realized that there is something about the ring aside from being a symbol of the Clan.

Sakura knew there is a tracking chip placed on the ring. And her suspicion was confirmed when she asked Sasuke about it a few days after their marriage.

"You knew? Since when?" Sasuke asked.

"I kind of suspected because you knew I was in Kyoto with your grandmother."

Sasuke thought she suspected far back then but she didn't say anything. He doesn't even know if she's mad about it. "I'm sorry for not telling you. I was initially going to keep quiet about the tracking device."

"Why?" Sakura asked, looking up to stare at Sasuke as they lie on the bed.

"Because you might feel uncomfortable knowing that there is a tracking device in the ring you were wearing."

"I won't," Sakura answered as she leaned back down again on Sasuke. "Besides, I feel somewhat assured that wherever I go or if someone brought me somewhere far or if I were to get lost, you will always come and find me."

Sakura may not be able to see it but she knew he was smiling, she could feel the light atmosphere surrounding them as they feel comfortable.

"Of course," Sasuke suddenly said. "I'll always come and find you."

After hearing that, Sakura felt strong emotions well up in her before she drifted off to sleep.

Sakura shook her head as she pulled herself from the train of thought when she saw the Hospital came into view. She parked the car outside and stepped out, walking towards the entrance as she was greeted by the familiar smell of antiseptics.

"Sakura?!" One of her colleague Doctors asked when she saw Sakura. She immediately run towards her and engulfed Sakura in a hug, at least not the same bone-crushing hug Ino would welcome her.

"So, how's the married life? Still looking fresh, I see," she said as she looked at Sakura and nodded approvingly. Sakura on the other hand frowned at her. Sakura knew the woman had been married for five years now and Sakura admired her like that. But there is no denying her crazy antics and remarks.

"You look way fresh than usual," she said, wiggling her eyebrows as Sakura shook her head.

"Stop Yumi-san,"

Yumi laughed before she cleared her throat and composed herself. "What brought you here anyways? You're not going back to the Hospital to work are you? I mean your husband seems like he is some wealthy heir or something."

"Is Tsunade-sama here?" Sakura asked.

"Yep. She's in her office," Yumi said before she was called to tend on an emergency. Sakura thanked her before she proceeded to the elevator.
