"WHAT?!"
"I'm s-sorry, Milady!" The poor black haired woman appologised profusely, flinching under the glare and harsh voice of the blonde woman. "I-I was just told by I-Izumo and K-Kotetsu.." Shizune tried to hold her ground, but was hardly able to as the blonde woman slammed both fists down on the desk, effectively breaking it into two large pieces.
"That little brat," Tsunade bit the tip of her thumb, eyes narrowed on nowehere in particular. She had been extremely wary when she let a certain little girl back into the village. She hadn't exactly trusted her, but she did it for the kid and the kyuubi. She knew that the fox would go on a rampage, much like he did last time if he found out she was gone... Again.
"Milady, shall we tell Nar-"
"No." She sighed, turning to the window and staring out. "He's bound to know something is wrong. Fortunately, he's training with Kakashi. In the meantime, send out a squad to find her. Bring her back. She couldn't have gotten far." Tsunade looked back over her shoulder at Shizune as the woman turned to leave. "And don't tell Naruto."
Shizune stared back wide eyed. She knew very well it was a dangerous matter when speaking to the kyuubi container about his mate. Tsunade had nearly been ripped to shreds the first time the girl disappeared. But luck had actually been on her side during that time, and she was able to ward them off before any major damage had been done.
"B-But, Lady Tsunade," Shizune frowned, a sort of sad look in her eyes. "How are you going to deal with him then? He nearly killed you last time; for this same reason!" Tsunade sighed, her shoulder slumping as she eyed the direction of the training grounds.
"It'll be fine," she said. "Besides, I have a special mission for him. It should give us a little bit of time to find her." Shizune nodded. "Now hurry up. I'm sending for him now."

As expected, the blonde was extremely worried, and very curious as to where his girlfriend/mate was. Kurama was stirring within him, and he had a strange feeling in his gut that didn't sit well with him. The fox was extremely agitated and he didn't know why.
Tsunade had told him the best lie she could come up with. Miyu was in the hospital, sick with a fever. For some reason that made her feel stupid for a moment... she hadn't thought that Naruto would go and try to see her. It had slipped her mind completely. Fortunately for her, however, she was able to keep him somewhat focused on his next mission. Of course, the only way she could actually do that... was to give him an A-rank mission...
Whoop de doo...

"Sasuke," Suigetsu approached the dark haired teen, a sort of worried look adorning his features. "Is Miyu alright?" Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the white haired male, then shifted his gaze to the feverish girl sleeping in one of the futon beds. Her cheeks were flushed, and her breathing was slightly labored.
"She'll be fine." He spoke harshly, his cool fingers grazing down her left cheek. Her cheeks were warm, but not as bad as they had been. Especially after the fight between Sasuke and Deidara. She had been awake, and gotten in the middle of it, trying to save her brother.
