The double doors push through as a pink haired medic makes her way past followed by 4 chunin level Medics dressed in lab coats. She is wearing a red sleeveless vest reaching her waist with a belt around it and a navy blue pencil skirt that grazes her mid-thigh with small slits along the side to aid her movement. This was her usual attire unless she was sent away on long term missions.

One of the medic's spoke to Sakura, "We had to intubate him with an endotracheal tube to aid his breathing as it was faltering forcing him into V-fib, we pumped oxygen into him and he's stabilized".

"Did you start a central line?" Sakura asked them.

"Yes ma'am"

"Good, get him into CT and get me those results first thing in the morning, got it?" she asked them with firmly.

"Yes ma'am!"

She walked into her office; a large room carpeted wall to wall in a dull shade of maroon, wooden walls obscuring every inch and a glass window overlooking the entire village. Her desk had two piles of paper work on them along with a laptop and a few files next to them. A mug filled with stale coffee now remained there as Sakura pressed a button on her phone, "Sasha, get me some fresh coffee and sweet buns please". "Yes ma'am" came a swift reply from her secretary.

She walked towards her revolving chair and sat down before turning towards a trolley onto her right. It housed a number of vials filled with chemicals and enzymes that Sakura was investigating along with syringes and glass slates filled with samples.

Sakura pulled a swab encased in a zip pouch out of her pocket and placed it onto the trolley before turning towards her laptop and resuming her typing. She swiftly went through her paperwork and scribbled a few things when Sasha came in with a tray in her hand. She walked towards the desk and grabbed the old mug replacing it with the new mug filled with fresh coffee and a plate of sweet buns.

"Is it going to a long night tonight as well, ma'am?" she inquired.

After almost a minute of scribbling on her paperwork, Sakura replied, "Oh no, its alright you can go home now, I'll just finish some details on this report and leave it at your desk so you can file them first thing in the morning, get a good night's sleep now I have been slogging you off the entire week Sasha" exclaimed her boss.

"Thank you so much, ma'am" and with that Sasha turned around and walked out closing the doors.

Sakura went back to scribbling onto her papers and typed a few things here and there in between and suddenly turned over to the trolley on her right, gazing intently on the swab she had previously sampled. Trying very hard to shove her curiosity away she scribbled a little more before gulping her coffee down and downing a few sweet buns. She turned in her revolving chair and stopped at the sight of her window gazing out of it towards the glistening lights twinkling in the expanse of the village. A few minutes passed like that before she rose from her chair and quickly grabbed the zip pouch containing the swab and a couple of empty vials along with her and walked out of her office.

She pushed a door open which said, "DNA testing" and quickly closed it behind her, inside a young man was viewing something under a microscope when the noise of the door opening broke his attention.

"Sakura-sama, how can I help you?"

"Drop the sama already?" she replied sternly, holding the pouch in her hand she handed it to the young man, "Yumire, I want you to test this against any old sample of Sasuke Uchiha and confirm if it is his".

"Sasuke Uchiha you say?" he questioned her with an almost vexed expression.

"Yes, Sasuke Uchiha. Confirm it to me in the morning and here, I want you to extract anything from the sample and reproduce it for me for future use in these" she continued and handed him the vials.

He quickly labeled them and placed it into a digital locker after typing the code.

"Yes ma'am the reports will be on your table in the morning".

She receded towards the door before he spoke again, "Umm, Sakura-san?"

"Yes?"

"I just wanted to tell you you looked beautiful despite working a long shift".

Sakura blushed a little before nodding and walking out.

Just when she was about to open the door to her office, she was taken aback when the door opened on it's own to a baffled Naruto standing in the way.

"Naruto? What are you doing here? Is something wrong?"

"Sakura-chan, why aren't you at home, it's 11 PM and you're working overtime again. This is what, the second week in a row? I haven't seen your face since a week now, what's going on?" he asked with an almost concerned expression.

"Naruto, you're worrying too much again. Come inside, I need to keep you posted on that ANBU that got admitted earlier and his condition".

Their conversation went on about how the ANBU had faced severe lesions and bruises and an almost punctured lung and how his recovery would take weeks of intensive care.

"His CT results will come in tomorrow in the morning and I'll let you know if there is any other damage. God know's what happened on that mission with you lot. I was really worried about you when I saw your team mates flood the hospital in such beaten up condition" she said with her brows furrowed together.

"You know better than to worry about me Sakura-chan,"

"I know but still,"

"Naruto?" she continued.

"Yeah, Sakura-chan?"

"I got around to getting that sample DNA tested against Sasuke's. Are you positive the man described resembled Sasuke?" she asked with despondence.

"Positive it looked like him, although I know it cannot be him, but we still need to follow procedure and make sure we follow all steps" he added.

She turned in her chair and looked outside her window again, "I hope it doesn't match".

Thanks for the reviews and comments everyone. Next chapter coming up soon, this will circle around the timeline of Sakura's kidnapping by Kido.
