Hinata's scream echoed through the warehouse. Furious Kabuto attempted to shoot again when he saw Sasuke was still moving after the first shot. " I will not miss this time Sasuke!" But Sasuke's men were quicker. They stopped Kabuto by grabbing his wrist, snatched away his gun and restrained his movements.
"Let me go! Or I kill you all!" Kabuto screamed in rage, thrashing violently to free himself but failed as they tightened their grips on him. The sound of police sirens could be heard outside of the warehouse. Sasuke looked at Kabuto as he desperately struggled to get away.
"Surrender yourself Kabuto. The police already here." Sasuke told him.
"Fuck you, Sasuke!" Kabuto yelled in response.
Sasuke glared at him furiously. He started to walk towards Kabuto's direction. His hands balled into his fists until his knuckles turned white, wanted to hit him again and again to teach him some lessons after what he had done to them, especially to his Hinata. But he stopped in his tracks when he felt Hinata tugged at his jacket. Sasuke turned his head.
"No. Please Sasuke." She said, almost in a pleading manner. Sasuke scowled in response.
He turned to look back at Kabuto, the rage boiling up inside him. "I'm not finished with you yet. I'll deal with you later." Anger in his voice. "Get him out of my sight." Sasuke ordered his men to drag Kabuto away from them.
Hinata who had a worried look on her face looked at him. The sight of his blood made her body trembled with fear. She quickly roamed his body looking for his wound. "Oh my god!" She gasped as she looked at his bleeding arm.
Sasuke winced at the jolt of pain searing through his arm. "I'm okay. It's just my arm." He said as he held his bloody lower left arm with his right hand.
"You're bleeding too much." Tears welled in her eyes.
She could see the blood oozing from the wound and run down his arm. She quickly took off her sweater and placed it on his wet and blood-soaked arm. Then, she wrapped it around his arm to stop the bleeding. Sasuke looked at her concerned face.
"Are you hurt?" He asked. She shook her head in reply.
"Why? Why did you do that? You could have died, you idiot." She sobbed softly.
Sasuke reached out to wrap his arm around her and drew her closer to him. "Shhh, that's fine. I'm just glad you're safe."
Hinata snuggled deeper within his embrace and tightened her grip on his shirt.
After a few seconds, the police managed to get inside the warehouse and successfully arrested Kabuto and some of his men. Then, a police officer approached them and he immediately spotted Sasuke's wounded arm. "Are you alright?" The police officer asked him. Sasuke just nodded as the police officer took out his walkie-talkie, requested for ambulance to bring him to the hospital.
As the police took down their statements and informations about the kidnapping, they heard someone gasped in shock behind them. It was Sakura. Her wrists had been handcuffed. The police had arrested her after they found out that she was also the mastermind behind the kidnapping.
"Yo-you're hurt." Sakura said, her voice trembling with guilt as she saw his arm.
Sasuke glared at Sakura. "You damn bitc-"
"Sasuke stop." Hinata interrupted as she placed her hand on his chest. He looked directly into her eyes. Hinata shook her head no.
Why Hinata? After all you've been through today, they are not worthy to have your kindness. Sasuke sighed deeply as his anger dissipated.
Sakura started to speak. "For-give me Sasuke. I-I just-"
"Shut up!" He cut her off. "I don't need your explanation. Don't ask me to forgive you because I won't. And remember this, stay away from us and don't you ever show your face around us again." He warned her. Hinata closed her eyes. She had to admit that his words to Sakura were cruel but after what had happened, somehow she could understand his feelings.
Unable to speak, Sakura bit down hard on her lip as the police officer told her to start walking.
Hinata exhaled in relief as she tightened her grip on Sasuke's body. "Sasuke, you lost a lot of blood. You need to go to the hospital." She said while holding his arm.
Sasuke nodded as he felt his arm started to feel a little numb. "Yeah, the bullet need to be removed out of my arm."
"Sir, the ambulance is on the way." One of Sasuke's man informed him. "We'll take care of things here."
"I'll go with you." Hinata told him. Sasuke nodded and held her hand as they walked out from the warehouse and headed to the hospital together.

At the hospital, Hinata sat and waited on a chair in the hospital lobby. While Sasuke was taken to the operating room. As she waited, she heard someone calling her name. She turned around. She saw Ino ran towards her and hugged her tightly.
"Oh my god, Hinata! Are you alright?! Are you hurt? Did they hurt you?" Ino asked, impatient as she checked her over thoroughly for any injuries.
"No, I'm fine Ino. Really." Hinata said, smiling at her friend.
Ino hugged her once more. "Thank god." Relieved in her tone. "My heart felt like it was going to drop when I read your message, you know." Ino told her. No wonder Hinata didn't pick up her phone when she called her. She thought everything was fine but immediately rushed to the hospital after she got her text message. It never crossed her mind that something bad would happen to Hinata.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you worry." Hinata said, sadness in her face.
"Uh huh. At least you're alright now." Ino pulled away and put her hand on Hinata's shoulder.
"Now tell me. Where is he? Your boyfriend?" Ino asked Hinata before adding. "Where is he now? Why he's not here with you?"
Hinata looked stunned. "Boyfriend? H-how?" She sighed as she looked at the expression on Ino's face. There was no need to keep it a secret any longer.
"I knew it from Naruto. He told me this morning." Ino said while raising her eyebrow. It pissed her off that Hinata never told her or shared anything about her boyfriend. And to make it even worse, it was Naruto who found out about it first. But Ino just let it slide, she would ask her about it later.
"He's having his operation right now. He's been shot. The doctor needs to remove the bullet out of his arm." Hinata explained to Ino.
"What?! He got shot?! You mean by a gun?" Ino asked her in disbelief. "What on earth have you got yourself into, Hinata?" The way Ino asked the question made Hinata realized what a dangerous situation she was in at that time. For Sasuke, what if he had been hit in a vital spot? He would be dead. Hinata turned pale and shivered at the thought.
"He took the bullet to save me. He protected me." Hinata said.
Ino's eyes wide with shock and she saw Hinata's eyes starting to well up with tears. "Hinata." Ino reached out to hold Hinata's hand and gave her hand a reassuring pat. "Everything's going to be alright."
Hinata nodded briefly. "Thanks Ino."
After a few minutes, Itachi arrived at the hospital and he saw the two girls. Hinata noticed him when he walked to her direction. "You're Sasuke's older brother." Hinata said and stood up to greet him.
Itachi smiled at them. "Are you alright, Miss Hinata?" He asked her.
"Y-yes. I'm completely fine." Hinata paused for a moment. "But Sasuke.."
"He will be fine. Don't worry about it." Itachi told her. To his surprise, this girl looked completely calm despite the trauma she must have endured.
"H-he got hurt because of me. I'm so sorry." She said apologetically.
Itachi smiled in return. "Don't apologize. I believed that my younger brother only did the right thing." He said as he studied her face. Her eyes were slightly swollen and puffy, probably from crying.
"It's almost night now. I think you girls should go home and rest, especially you Miss Hinata. No need to worry. We already took care of everything." Itachi told them. "About the kidnapping, leave that matter to the police. They said they will do everything they can to prevent it from ever happening again." Hinata nodded, understood.
"I'll be here until the operation is done. And I'll inform Sasuke." Itachi added, trying to cast away her worries as if he could read her mind.
Hinata looked at him again. "Thank you so much."
Itachi assigned his bodyguards and offered the girls to let his men to send them back home, which Hinata accepted with a smile.
He looked at Hinata as she climbed into the car. I never thought you would ever do something like this. You even put your life on the line to save her. He thought for a moment, closing his eyes with a smile across his face. You sure have changed a lot, Sasuke.
