I happily accept reviews hehehe! If anything needs any improvement please do tell. Arigatou minna!

I quickly looked at the window and Minato was already outside ready to attack.

We waited for a second and the rustling stopped and out came out a fluffy little bunny.

"A fluffy bunny?" Sayuri asked.

"Why are you guys getting so worked up over a fluff bunny?" Sayuri was wearing a grin on her face. She must've thought we were getting too paranoid.

"Oh, It nothing. Hahaha! Silly me!" I quickly answered.

Minato was already making his way back to the room and he looked at me confused but I shot him a look that clearly said its better she does not know. Minato looked displeased.

"Gee, okay then." said Sayuri. I could tell Sayuri didn't believe me.

I decided to change the subject and started talking about something else.

"You know Sayuri, when we get back to the village you're going to come with me to a friend's wedding okay? I won't take no for an answer."

"You're making me attend your friend's wedding just when I attempted to hand you over to the Hidden Cloud?" asked Sayuri jokingly

"Yeah! Do you remember Mikoto? She attended the Academy along with us. She's getting married to Fugaku!" I told her as my face lit up with happiness. It felt good finally talking casually and getting to relax.

"Mikoto and Fugaku? Fugaku finally proposed?" Minato was just as surprised as I was when Mikoto told me about the proposal.

"It's about time he did. I always noticed Fugaku had a thing for Mikoto since the Academy." Sayuri, unlike Minato, took the news calmly. Almost as if she expected it.

"I worked with Fugaku before but he never really seemed like the romantic type." Minato added as he looked ever more confused.

"Well they were planning the wedding since I left Konoha so the wedding shouldn't take long. I'm sure Mikoto would be glad if you could come. Then we would pick the perfect dress for you when we go home to Konoha." I told her

"Home? To Konoha?" She suddenly looked down.

"Yes, you're going home with me and Minato." I faintly smiled at her.

She threw herself at me and hugged me tightly.

"Thank you Kushina!"

"Hey, don't do that. You'll open up your wound. Please lie down." Minato rushed toward us worried that Sayuri might further injure herself.

I helped Sayuri position herself on her bed and sat back down.

"Were friends now aren't we?" I said and I smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Well since nobody is taking notice of my presence I may as well go." Minato said pretending to be sad.

"Come here you!" I yelled at him.

He came nearer and I hugged like I never hugged him before.

"You don't know how much I've been missing that Kushina." He told me in the middle of the hug.

I let go of him but held on to his hand.

"I really do have to go Kushina. I have to help the Raikage in pursuing your or Sayuri's attacker."

"Okay then. Please take care and come back to me."

"Always. ."

On that word, he left leaving me with Sayuri.

"Kushina, you're one lucky woman." Sayuri's voice suddenly became depressed again.

"You should say that Minato's the lucky man, you know! Hahaha!" I tried to cheer her up but her face remained sad.

"Sayuri, when we get back home I promise you I'm gonna find you a man who will love you for who you are! You don't have to feel so alone anymore! Believe it!"

"Arigatou Kushina."

We looked at each other in silence for a while and it was almost as if we were talking in our heads. If only it could remain this peaceful but there was still the matter of Sayuri's life in danger.

Hours later, Minato returned but they weren't able to find any leads as to who might have attacked me or Sayuri.

It wasn't until Sayuri fell asleep late at night that he talked to me about what he found out and the atmosphere completely changed.

"It's really weird how we can't find any traces of chakra in the forest. Even the best sensors of the Hidden Cloud returned with nothing. The only chakra they could sense was their own, mine, yours, Sayuri's and the Raikage's. We were left with two possibilities. The attacker does not use chakra or the attacker is very skilled to be able to completely conceal their chakra's identity." Minato explained.

"Then it's going to be hard to try and track the attacker. But at this rate the attacker would have already have the chance to get away." I said.

"I doubt that the attacker would even try to escape seeing as his or her job isn't done yet. He or she should still be around these parts." Minato contradicted.

"I guess you have a point. I think it's possible that the attacker holds a vast knowledge about chakra points or controlling chakra if he or she's able to hide their chakra at will." I suggested.

"I can only think of the Hyuuga Clan when chakra points are being discussed but even the Hyuuga Clan can't block their own chakra points without causing harm to themselves."

"Who could it be? I have never heard of anyone who could completely conceal their chakra." I felt frustrated. My friend's life was on the line. We need to figure out who this is and fast.

"Tomorrow you can come with me to talk with the Raikage and look at the names of all the shinobi who are registered at The Hidden Cloud along with their Kekkei Genkai and other special abilities. I've already asked Raikage to start the search tonight. It shouldn't be long now. We will find out who that attacker is."

"But I haven't received the paper to inform me of my release from the hospital yet. I thought you said I was going to be released this afternoon."

"You were released this afternoon. I held the paper. Hahaha!"

"Minato!"

"Shh. You might wake Sayuri up. Hahaha! Sorry but I know once I let you be released this afternoon you might go investigating by yourself. I want to be beside all the way Kushina. I won't let anything else happen to you. Besides if you left nobody would be guarding Sayuri." That was another thing I loved about Minato. He knew exactly what to say to calm me down.

"Yeah I guess you're right but I can take care of myself you know!"

"I know but I just can't take any chances. Forgive me."

I grabbed his hand and pulled him nearer to me.

"Thank you Minato."

We hugged each other tight and I went to sleep with him right beside me.

MINATO's POV

Finally a good night sleep, just what I needed. I kept my head down trying to get at least 5 minutes more of sleep. It sure is going to be a long day today. Just looking up names all day.

"MINATO-SAN!" I heard Sayuri's voice and quickly got up.

Kushina was nowhere to be seen.

I just wanna say thanks for all the people who read my story. Please leave reviews and tell me what you think! :D
