style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>--------------------
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>Prologue
– Reunions
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>In one district of Tokyo city, a large and
elegant building stands;style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'> style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>a few rich-looking people go in and out of
the infamous building. The building of Uchiha Law Agency.
The owner of this law agency is none other than the famous rookie detective,
Uchiha Sasuke.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>The Uchiha Law Agency not only provides the
service of detectives, but of good lawyerstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>sstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> too. Of course, their number one detective
is the Uchiha Sasuke himself; the second in position is Hyuuga Neji. Meanwhile class=GramE>their number one lawyer is Haruno Sakura; the second best is
none other than her rival and best friend, Yamanaka Ino.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>Some people knowstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> that almost eighty percent of the main style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>workersstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> at Uchiha Law
Agency knew each other since high school, and at the University. It was Sasuke who asked
them to join his agency. Well, it’s better to work with somebody that you are already familiar with,
rather than a complete stranger isn’t it?
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
class=GramE>But sometimes…style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> Working with people that know you tostyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>ostyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> well have their own downside. That is the
feeling that the stoic brunette feels now.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>XxXxXxX
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
class=GramE>“Sasuke teba!style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> Are you listening to me? Ne,
Sasuke-kun!” Sakura whined, waving her hand in front the stoic brunette.
The mentioned man just gave an uninterested shrug instead. She huffed in
annoyance. ‘Once you stepped out from the
Sasuke’s fan-girl life, you can see how much a bastard he is, Sakura!’ She
mused, almost letting out a giggle while remembering
Sasuke’s old pet
name. A Teme. But she sighed morosely at the same
time.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
class=GramE>Naruto.style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>How she missed him. After almost six years style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>of style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>lost contact with the hyperactive blond,
Sakura could not help but miss him,
and she would dare to bet that
almost all of Rookie 9 missed him. Not
to mention that around him, Sasuke was less the ice-prince; he could even
manage a little smile around him. But now…
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>She sighed, “I wonder where he is now.”
Sasuke stared at her, tearing his eyestyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>sstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> from the paperwork that he had been
reading. “Naruto, I mean. I wonder if he knows about the rookie nine’s reunion.” Sasuke just snorted, and style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>began to style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>read his paperwork again. “You missed him
don’t you?” She threw a warm smile toward the stoic boy.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>Running his pale fingers at his smooth dark
hair, the brunette said, “I don’t miss that dobe.” He grunted venomously, but
Sakura just giggled instead.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>“You know, if you still keep his pet name,
I’ll insist that you ARE missing him, Sasuke-kun.” When Sasuke bristlestyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>dstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> at that, she laughstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>edstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> out loud. “Oh come on, class=SpellE>Sasuke-style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>teme! Don’t be such a bastard!” She grinned, copying the way class=SpellE>Naruto used to call him. Sasuke did the best thing that he
could do.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>He glared
her.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>She giggled again, “Don’t mad at me, class=SpellE>Sasuke-kun,” She
paused, “And I’ll see you at the
reunion.” With that, she walked out from the stoic brunette’s office and waved
her hand, not even listening to Sasuke’s decline.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>XxXxXxX
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>Sasuke stared
at the window; it was snowing quietly outside. He hated winter, especially the
snow, because it reminded him of the blond so much. So much his chest hurt.
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>“Ne,
Sasuke, you know? I style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>will style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>always
love snow; style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>it’sstyle='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'> so
beautiful!! And...Itstyle='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'> class=SpellE>sorta remindstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>sstyle='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'> me
of you, when you were not acting like a teme of course.” style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
class=GramE>“Dobe.”style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> He murmured softly, how he missstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>edstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> calling
him that, how he missed arguing with the stupid
blond, how he—
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
class=GramE>“Sasuke-kun!!”style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> A panting Sakura opened his office’s door
loudly. It seemed she rushed here, making the brunette quirk an eyebrow in
question. “Kiba found him!” That caught Sasuke’s
attention to the fullest. ‘Could it be?’
His eyes almost widenstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>edstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> at the short sentence.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
class=GramE>“Naruto!style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> Kiba has found him!!”
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>XxXxXxX
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>Sasuke shifted again at his chair. He was
extremely nervous now; three days ago Sakura had said
that Kiba found Naruto. Even style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>if style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>it was just a quick bump at the mall, class=SpellE>Kiba did recognize the blond, and successfully informed and
pestered him into come to the reunion.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>And today was the reunion day.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>Actually, Sasuke already declinedstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>,style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> a few times, the invitation to go to the reunionstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>. His rejection caused Sakura to annoy
him almost everyday. Was
there any point to go to the reunion when he
met with almost all style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>of style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>Rookie 9 everyday at the office? But alas,
he decided to go, because Sakura
said that Naruto would be there, too. Even though
he would
have to endure Sakura and Ino’s
giggles during that three hell-like
days.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>It was not like he
was missed him or anything, he was just curios about how the blond now. Wstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>asstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> he still a dobe? Dstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>id style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>he still like orange and most of all, ramen?
Just thinking that made him become style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>even style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>more anxious. style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>‘Goddammit!style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'> Uchihas are never
nervous! Not even for a stupid blond that suddenly disappearstyle='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>sstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> without a noticestyle='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'> forstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> six years!’style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> He groaned inwardly at that, so much for
self-confidence.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>“Kiba, Are you sure Naruto style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>is comingstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>?” The pink haired girl poked at the
policeman who was talking with Hinata. style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>Tstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>he dog boy grinned and nodded his head,
“Yeah! He’ll come, I guarantee that.”
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>“What makes
you so sure?” Ino piped up,
her hand still trying to save her food from her current boyfriend, Chouji. “If
he’s coming, why isn’t he here?” She added.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>Kiba just grinned mischievously and fished
something from his jacket’s pocket. It was something metallic and long… Sasuke
faintly recognized the object, and when he
saw the object clearly, his eyes
widenedstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> in realization. ‘It can’t be! He still keptstyle='mso-spacerun:yes'> it?’ He stared at the object at
Kiba’s palm.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>
class=GramE>“No way!style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> That’s his favorite necklace! class=GramE>How did you get to even
touch that?!” Sakura gasped when saw style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>itstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>; Sasuke blinked
at the comment, and stared at
the pink haired girl. “Don’t tell me you don’t know style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>about style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>this necklace, Sasuke-kun?! Beside the one
that Tsunade gave him, it’s his favorite
necklace! He told me it was a present from someone special to him!” She blabbered
and giggled at the same time. After she said that, it was not just Sasuke who was paying attention, almost all style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>of the style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>occupants therestyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>,style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> listened in awe when theystyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'> style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>heard Naruto’s
name in the topic.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>“He told you what?” The stoic raven asked,
shocked.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>She giggled
again, “He told me that it was one of his most precious things, because the
person that gave it to him was special. I never knew that Naruto was that
romantic.” She let out a dreamy sigh, and was followed by some other people
like Hinata, Tenten and Ino, the boys just shook their
head at the girls’ dreamy sighstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>sstyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow";mso-fareast-language:KO'>Contrary tostyle='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'> Sakura’s accusation, Sasuke
did recognize the necklace, because…
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>He was the person that gaves
it to the blond.
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>
style='font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>And before Sasuke could think anything else,
the door of their booth was opened quite loudly. “Yo guys! Long time no see!” A
cheeky voice rang at Ichiraku.
