Chapter 6

*KNOCK KNOCK

Sakura got up, and staggered to the door. The shinobi blushed as he looked at her attire. She was still in her pyjamas which only consisted of a long white shirt which was slightly unbuttoned which showed a little bit of her cleavage. It showed her long slender legs. (like Ririchiyo's attire in InuxBoku SS)

"Um...Hokage sama sent this." He stuttered still eyeing her. Sakura sighed in annoyance. Men are so prevented these days. She snatched the scroll and slammed the door shut which brought the man back to his senses. Sakura took the scroll up to her bedroom and read it. Her eyes narrowed when she read the contents. She closed the scroll, got ready and teleported to the Hokage's office. When she arrived she found Tsunade and Sasuke there.

"This better be a good mission shishou, it's my day off."

"Yes Sakura, we were just waiting for you."

"What is he doing here?"

"I have a mission for the two of you" Sakura and Sasuke looked at each other, more like glared, and then at the same time they yelled.

"I HAVE TO WORK WITH HIM?"

"I HAVE TO WORK WITH HER?" Tsunade had a very annoyed look on her face.

"Sakura, you should be glad that I am letting you on this mission and not having you do my paperwork"

"Tch"

"Sasuke, you also should be glad as I am cutting your punishment 3 weeks early"

"But Hokage-sama, why does it have to be me and her?" he asked.

"Let me explain what your mission is going to be"

Sakura walked to the back of the room and leaned on the wall, closing her eyes. Whereas, Sasuke just stood there.

"There is a problem at Sand. The Kazekage was in a fight approximately 30mins ago with an unknown attacker." Sakura looked at the time. It was currently 9am.

"What a strange time for an attack to take place, in broad daylight." She thought out loud. Tsunade coughed and continued.

"He is terribly sick. When the medics did a check-up on him, it seems that he has an inflamed stomach and he is vomiting a lot. They sent a report right away." Sakura yawned and replied

"I doubt it had to do with the attack. He probably ate something bad and now he has Gastritis. Just give him antibiotics."

"Apparently the antibiotics didn't have any affect so they repeated giving him." Sakura's head snapped up at this.

"ARE THEY CRAZY?!" Sasuke wasn't really listening to all this medical talk, jumped at her yell. "If the antibiotics have no affect then it will kill all the good bacteria in his gut." Sakura was getting serious. Sasuke coughed and said

"Then just send Sa-"he stopped as he heard a growl. Sakura was death glaring at him. Sasuke cleared his throat and continued.

"Then just send Haruno. Why do they need me?"

"They need help tracking down the attacker even if it has nothing to do with Gaara. Once Sand heard that you came back, they immediately asked for you and Sakura to be on the tracking case. This is the plan. Sakura you go and treat Gaara first whereas Sasuke, you get started on the tracking case. After Sakura has treated Gaara, she will join you. That is your mission brief and you will leave tonight. Remember that this mission is classified B. That is all you may leave." Sakura and Sasuke bowed and left. Outside they glared at each other, Sakura scoffed and walked away, but suddenly stopped and said

"Finish packing and meet me at the front gate in half an hour with your stuff."

*15 mins later

"You took your time" said Sakura. She was leaning on the Front Gate of Konoha

"I'm 15 mins early. Well, what do you want?"

"I want to leave earlier; The Kazekage's illness is worrying me. The sooner we get there the better. Let's go." Sasuke merely nodded.

SORRY EVERYONE FOR THE SHORT CHAPTER! BUT THE NEXT ONE IS GOING TO LONG SO PLEASE WAIT FOR IT!
