I just wanna say thanks to all the people who read it! Hee hee! I never expected to have so many people read my first story! :) Thank you!

MINATO's POV

This is not good. Not good at all. Where was Kushina?

"Sayuri, do you know anything about this?" I asked her.

"No, I awoke to find her gone as well. But I did hear a noise in the middle of the night but I thought it just came from outside. It must've been her. I'm sorry Minato." She looked pale and her face was grey.

"It's okay. Just don't worry okay? Focus on getting better. A Hidden Cloud Anbu will arrive here shortly to guard you. I have to go find Kushina and please don't do anything rash Sayuri."

"I'll stay here. Maybe she just gone out."

I quickly left the hospital. I was just about to jump to be able to travel faster when I noticed something on the ground. It was shiny red lock of hair. Kushina left a trail just like before. I followed it but after a few minutes of following the trail, her hair suddenly became shorter and shorter until it had completely gone.

I looked up too see where the trail had led me too. It was right below the Raikage's office. If the Raikage ever kidnapped Kushina again after all we've been through. He was as good as gone.

I ran up toward the Raikage's office pushing anyone who was in front of me away. I arrived near his office and I threw a smoke bomb at it. The door flew clean off its hinges.

"Give me back Kushina!" I yelled at him.

I looked around and saw the Raikage looking around papers with 2 of his subordinates including Kushina.

"Give her back? I thought you sent her here?" The Raikage was baffled at my sudden appearance.

"What is happening here?" I asked.

There was a moment of silence and then Kushina and the Raikage laughed.

"I have a feeling I just got owned."

"Yeah and you got owned bad! Hahaha!" Kushina said as she laughed her head off.

If ever I had a son to Kushina I hope he wouldn't be a prankster like her or else I'd find myself getting owned all the time.

"You shouldn't make me worry like that Kushina. You almost gave me a heart attack." I said as I came near her.

"Hehehe! Sorry about that. I came here because I wanted to help and found the Raikage searching for documents even before the sun was up. I told him about my plan and he played along."

"Goodness, knows I need a laugh these days. But we didn't expect you to blow the door up, though." Said the Raikage.

"I'm really sorry about that Raikage-sama. I'll fix your door right away"

"Hokage-sama, that is completely unnecessary. I'll have my people attend to it. Don't you think it is better if you help us with this instead."

"Yes, absolutely."

I walked over to them and grabbed a bunch of papers that were handed to me by the Raikage.

"So far we havent found anything. I have reviewed the Katsuka'clans boil release kekkei genkai but it is not in their power to completely hide their chakra. Kushina, my subordinates and I have found nothing so far."

"We'll just have to keep on looking then."

Hour after hour passed by. It was late in the afternoon already. We had looked through every single paper we had to no avail. There was no one who was able to conceal their chakra.

"I've sent messeges to other villages about this but they too have found nothing yet." Said the Raikage

"Let's hope the shinobi we dispatched have found something useful."

At that moment, a messenger pigeon tapped its beak on the window. The Raikage opened the window and the pigeon landed on his desk. The Raikage removed the little note on its leg.

"Go to Sayuri! Now!" He shouted at us.

Kushina and I wasted no time and dashed out the office. We arrived at the room to find Sayuri is gone and the ANBU sent to protect her uncoscious.

"Kushina, send for a medical nin."

Kushina dashed out without a word.

How is it possible that nobody noticed that a patient has gone missing?

"I've notified a medical nin. Have you found anything?"

I bent down to have a closer look at the floor to see if there were any footprints. I saw a pair of shoe prints leading to the window. That must be how they got out.

I opened the window and climbed out. I saw more prints leading to the forest.

"I'm going to pursue them. Stay here okay." I told Kushina.

"Yeah, right. Like I'd let you do that. Even if you do pursue them it would be like walking blind. Besides I got you covered."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm on their tail. She's doing her best to evade me but I think I can corner them soon."

"What are you talking about?"

"Trace my chakra before I go out of your range. Hurry!"

Kushina vanished in a puff of smoke. It was a shadow clone. Kushina was following the attacker at this very moment.

I dashed to the forest and concentrated on Kushina's chakra but I was able to sense the Kyuubi's powerful chakra faster. I concentrated on that instead. They seemed to be a kilometer ahead of me. I could catch up in no time.

I jumped at the tree branches and doubled my speed. In a minute I saw Kushina's outline over head. In another minute I was already right beside her.

"You didn't tell me, you were watching over her the whole time." I grinned at her.

"Of course I didn't. You wouldn't let me." She grinned back.

"Why is it that you are an expert at giving me heart attacks?"

"No time for that now. It looks like were heading for a lake. There should be a couple of mountains around that area."

"You got a byakugan now?" I asked her jokingly.

"It's called studying your geography."

Kushina is dead serious right now. Something tells me I should just be quiet.

Moments later, I saw the outline of a person carrying another person. I could make out Sayuri's long hair. It's the attacker. The person carrying Sayuri was wearing a brown cloak. I could also see the lake Kushina was talking about.

"I want you to take Sayuri as soon as you have the chance okay?" She commanded me.

"No, you should do that. It would be safer. I'll fight." I replied.

"It's better if you take her because you're faster than me. Live up to your title as "The Yellow Flash" Minato. I can take care of myself. Sayuri is our main priority right now."

The attacker landed on the water and we stopped at the lake's shore just in front of them. The attacker removed the cloak he or she was wearing.

I almost lost my balance when I saw who it really was. I looked over at Kushina expecting to see the same shocked expression I had but she seemed to be calm and collected. She must've known it all along.

I hope you liked that! =^_^= Please also write reviews! I would really appreciate it! Thank you! :)
