I Do Not Own Naruto

Hit and Run

She felt the fight, and after seeing her desk trifled through she was beyond pissed as she raced out of her office. Several of the other attendings leapt out her path as she raced for the open window. Seeing Sasuke engaged in battle had her running out the window then and sailing over to the next flat roof; the nice thing about Suna was all the rooves were flat and she could run on them without expending much chakra as she raced to catch up to her target and Sasuke. Furious was a mild way of describing how her temper felt at this moment.

Leaping from rooftop to rooftop she made her way towards the fight. The assailent didn't sense or see her but she knew Sasuke did as he ducked from the fight just as she landed to throw a chakra infused punch. It hit the man in the gut sending him sailing over the rooftops, she snarled.

"He's mine Sasuke," she growled then she darted past the Uchiha as she tore after her target. All of her pent up pain and rage was pulsing in her veins as she leapt into the air, her fist drawn back.

"CHA!" she roared; her battle cry alerting her victim there'd be nowhere for him to run as gravity carried her down on him. Those eyes widened a fraction with terror but it didn't stop her as she slammed down onto him and sent him crashing through several of the buildings.

Sasuke watched Sakura in awe of her abilities and strength. Very few women would do what she just did and he knew she hadn't even released her full strength upon her victim. Still, the backlash of that punch was enough to have even him becoming wary as he chased after her.

The poison master went sailing past him then, and all he could think of was that time in battle when Sakura had raced ahead of them. He and Naruto ahd worried for her, until she seemed to do something which changed her for forever, she earned her Strength of a Hundred Seal; though in her case it was more like Strength of a Thousand; and sent her attacker sailing. Then she tore after him, Naruto had looked like he had shit his pants in fear of seeing his best friend unleashing her vicious temper upon all of the invaders. No one had seen that side of her and it was truly magnificent and it was terrifying as well.

Which was why he was slightly stunned when she had sent the poison master through the building as she chased him down. Her strength was impressive but they wanted the poison master alive. And at the rate Sakura was going the poison's master would be dead along with all of his knowledge. Sasuke was reluctant to intervene though because she seemed so mad. But it didn't stop him as he grabbed her from the unconscious body of the man who had assaulted her.

"Let me go Sasuke!" she shouted as he pulled her aside.

"That's enough Sakura, we need him," Sasuke snapped in her ear as he put her behind him and had himself between her and the poison master. It wasn't his smartest move in her mind, mostly because she wanted to pound him to smithereens and wipe her hands of the mess instead of the poison master. She knew she had lost it now but it didn't really matter to her as she stood there wanting nothing more than to hurt the man who hurt her like no one else ever had, ever could.

Sasuke was the root of all her pain and no one seemed to see this as he stood between her and the poison master. She so desperately wanted it to be Sasuke she had beat up and not that pain in the ass poison master.

But looking at the carnage she had wrought she knew the truth and it made her sick with herself as she turned from Sasuke and started walking away from him.

"Fine, but I'm not caring for him Sasuke, you'll need to do that on your own because I have real patients to care for!" she snapped and then she turned to run.

Where she was running she didn't know but she had to get away from him, away from the monster within her. So she did the only sensible thing in her mind and ran; dawn would be coming soon and she wanted to be alone for a moment. Her feet carried her silently out of Suna and into the cool desert.

Sasuke hefted up her victim from the rubble as he watched the pink run away from him and disappear into the city. He wondered just what he had done to upset her; he had seen the tears shining in her eyes before she ran. But again he shrugged it off as he took this poison master to the hospital for treatment.

Dropping off the man Sasuke decided he'd go find sakuea and try to calm her down. He had confidence that the Suna shinobi could keep an unconscious, beaten to a bloody pulp poison's master restrained until he returned with Sakura. Leaving didn't seem too bad at this time, and he didn't want Sakura doing something stupid while she was alone. She was just enough like the dobe to do something stupid, he also wanted to know why she had lost it back there.

Sakura never lost it.

He remembered that for even when they had been genin she had been his and Naruto's rock. She just didn't lose it; true she used to break down and scream and cry a lot but she never lost it. It was slightly concerning to him as he reached the edges of Suna and saw her tracks disappearing into the loose sand of the desert. His Sharingan couldn't see her either and for the first time in his memory he felt scared for her. There was clearly something upsetting her and it was messing with her, if he hadn't pursued the knowledge before, he sure as hell was going to do so now.

Just what the hell was wrong with Haruno Sakura!?
