Murder Mystery

Chapter 7

Sasuke had gone back to Itachi's room after getting his coffee only to fine Kakashi sitting there reading his perverted book on the small couch that the hospital rooms provided. Upon seeing the young raven the older man snapped his book closed and sighed. "I was a bit worried when I couldn't get a hold of you. I even went to your house." Sasuke sat down in the chair he was in before and took a sip of his coffee. "And why were you worried I can take care of myself." The silver haired man ran a hand through his hair and leaned back taking in a shaky breath. "Saito, was killed early this morning."

The raven's brow pinched. "Saito? Where did you find him and what was the time of death?" Kakashi sat forward with his elbows on his knees and hands in his hair as he looked at the floor. "He didn't show up for his shift this morning so we thought he was just going to be late. He didn't come in so I called and his nanny picked up she said that he never showed up at home last night so we searched for him. We found him at one of the old abandon warehouses' down by the bay."

"So you used your K-9 unit to track him down." Sasuke said as he processed the information Kakashi nodded. Then the raven's eyes widened slightly in realization. "Fuck, I was walking in that area last night before a came here I didn't hear anything." The silver haired man looked up at that and frowned. "I'm sure it happened after you passed by, the forensics team said the time of death was between two-thirty and three though he was tortured first so it's possible that it could have been an few hours before the time of death that it started."

Sasuke sat his coffee down and leaned forward with a frown. "Shit, then that bastard must have seen me. He more than likely watched as I passed and was out of sight before he started his little torture session." Kakashi didn't like the sound of that, it meant that whoever was doing this was careful and calculated making sure there were no witnesses around. The two set in silence as they processed the information they had, both snapping to attention when the door opened.

"I'm going to strangle her, no wait I'll just tell Gaara that she took his eyeliner then I can watch him strangle her. Hehehe, that sounds like a good plan." Sasuke and Kakashi raised a brow as the blonde walked in not even paying attention as he pulled in a cart with a few items on it. "Now let's see routine checkup…hmm couple of lab samples and another IV bag, well best get to work then." Sasuke rolled his eyes at the blonde's lack of attention to his surroundings. "Dobe." Naruto who had been going over the chart spun around swinging his arm out with the clipboard and his eyes closed tight. "AHHH!"

Thwack

The blonde was close enough to the bed and the chair that Sasuke sat in that when he spun and lashed out on instinct he smacked the raven in the face with clipboard. Naruto slowly peeked one eye open then his eyes widened as the recognized the person he had just hit. "S-Sasuke?" The pale man's eye twitched as the clipboard was lowered from his face and the blonde chuckled scratching the back of his head sheepishly. "S-sorry it was reflex?" Sasuke glared daggers at the cute moron in front of him…wait cute! The raven felt his eye twitch again and he turned away from the blonde completely ignoring him.

Naruto fumed he apologized and what did that get him? The bastard just glared then decided to ignore his presence. Asshole. Two could play that game, so the blonde went about his business he squeezed between the chair Sasuke was sitting in and the bed. He could have gone around to the other side but he didn't feel like it. Naruto proceeded to do a normal check up the whole listening to the heart, getting Itachi's blood pressure, checking his eyes making sure they dilated normally, and when the blonde held the man's wrist to check the pulse Sasuke decided to speak. "Dobe, get your ass out of my face."

Naruto rolled his eyes. "Teme, my ass wouldn't be in your face if you would just move and let me do my job." Kakashi chuckled under his breath and went back to reading his book. "I was sitting here first you could have gone over to the other side." The raven growled out and the blonde's eye twitched.

"Bastard, you're acting like a-" Naruto blinked and looked down quickly, just as he thought the pale raven's fingers had twitched briefly. Sasuke had stood as the blonde cut himself off and the silver haired man lowered his book. "What is it?" The raven asked and Naruto looked at him with a smile. "Well Sasuke-teme, your brother just responded to our bickering. I'd say by the end of the week he'll come to but it will only be for a few minutes at a time for the first few days. He will gradually regain more control over the next couple of weeks and the time of him being conscious will lengthen."

Sasuke relaxed a bit but then blinked and narrowed his eyes. "Dobe, how long have you been working here?" Naruto blinked and looked up at the raven from drawing blood. He then tilted his head slightly and glanced at the ceiling. "Hmm, well I started out off and on when I turned eighteen…so~o four years, why?" The blonde looked at the raven before looking back down at what he was doing and changed the tube that was full of blood for another that was empty.

Sasuke crossed his arms as he stared at the blonde in front of him for a long moment. "You never told your uncle about my brother, why?" Naruto's hands paused as he was switching out another tube then continued. He slowly looked up at the raven. "Because, it would tear him apart." The blonde clamped the small tube that lead to the needle shut and removed the tube of blood setting it aside with the others then said softly. "He's had enough tragedy in his life this would only be the icing on the cake."

The raven was about to say something when the door opened, from where him and the blonde stood they couldn't tell who had come in. Kakashi put his book down and looked at the man that had popped his head in. "Ah, there you are Kakashi-san." The man said as he opened the door wider in order to enter. "I need you to sign those papers for me about-" The man paused as he entered his eyes landing on the raven whom was standing there and he narrowed his dark grey eyes glaring at Sasuke. The silver haired man sighed as he watched the brunette shoot daggers at the raven with his eyes.

"Idate, I'll be out in a minute just leave before you do something stupid." Kakashi said with a bored look and sighed again when he was ignored. "Uchiha." The name was spit out with so much venom Naruto swore an elephant just dropped dead somewhere. "Still stealing women from their husbands?" Sasuke rolled his eyes this idiot didn't even deserve a grunt of acknowledgement to his stupid question so he just ignored him and turned back to the blonde.

It all happened fast that the next thing Naruto knew was Sasuke and the brunette, Idate is what the silver haired man called him, were in a fist fight. Well more like the brunette was throwing punches and Sasuke was blocking them though a few did get past and the raven found an opening sending Idate backwards stumbling into Naruto's cart. "O-oi teme, watch it I don't need my shit scattered across the floor." The blonde growled and Sasuke just said a small 'hn' as he turned to walk out before the idiot on the floor decided to get back up swinging.

Naruto was about to snap at the raven when everything happened in what was like slow motion. The blonde saw Idate get up and grab the metal tray off the cart, the items on it flying off then the brunette swung it at Sasuke. Kakashi jumped up yelling at Idate to stop as he ran forward but he wouldn't make it in time. Naruto jumped on the guy stopping his swing at the raven and Sasuke quickly turned catching the blonde as he was hit with Idate's fist and knocked off.

Kakashi swiftly grabbed the brunette only to be hit in the stomach with Idate's elbow then kicked away. The brunette turned towards the raven whom was busy with the blonde and swung the tray. Sasuke turn as he heard Kakashi grunt in pain and fall to the floor only to be hit upside the head with the metal tray with such force it sent him rolling. Naruto's eyes widened as the raven was hit and the brunette was stalking forward in Sasuke's direction with the tray raised up above his head. "NO!" The blonde shouted and both Kakashi and Sasuke looked up just as Naruto kicked Idate's legs out from under him while he grabbed something. When the brunette landed on his back the blonde quickly spun around to where he was straddling Idate his hand coming down fast.

"NARUTO!" Naruto stopped his hand and the object he was holding, a needle, a mere angstrom (1) away from penetrating the man beneath him in the eye. Idate's eyes were wide with fear and Naruto tossed the needle off to the side as he got off the man and slumped against the wall. Temari the one who had shouted the blonde's name walked farther into the room.

"Naruto, what the hell happened?" Temari asked as she helped Kakashi up but the blonde man didn't say a word he just sat there against the wall with his knees up and head down. She narrowed her teal eyes then sighed. "Fine tell me later, as for you." The blonde woman said as she turned towards the brunette who was now sitting up but physically shaking with fear from his encounter mere seconds ago. Temari then looked to the door at the security guard that stood there. "Take him out of this hospital he is not allowed back in I'm sure he was the one to start this fight." The man at the door nodded his head and grabbed the brunette up off the floor dragging him out and down the hall.

"Alright, now Naruto I'm going to check over Hatake-san." She said as she dragged the silver haired man to the door. "I'll tell one of the nurses to come pick this mess up and you can take care of Uchiha-san, room twenty-three should be free at the moment." Temari smiled and walked out leaving the blonde on the floor with wide eyes and mouth gapping.

Naruto sighed and stood up as another nurse walked in. "Just pick the stuff up and set it on my cart I'll worry about it when I come back, thanks. Come on, teme let's get you cleaned up." The nurse had just smiled at the blonde and went to picking things up as Naruto helped Sasuke up and pulled him out of the room and down the hall past room twenty-three. The raven raised an eyebrow at this and Naruto glanced back with a shrug. "I'm sure she had something set up or was planning something either way I don't plan on any more embarrassing events today." Sasuke grunted in agreement and let the blonde pull him three doors down from room twenty-three.

When they entered Naruto sat the raven down on the table and went about cleaning and disinfecting the wound above Sasuke's left brow. "Looks like you need a couple of stitches." The blonde said then went to grab the items he turned around with a grin. "Hey teme, you're not afraid of needles are you?" Sasuke rolled his eyes. "No I'm not, dobe." Naruto pouted and walked back to stand in front of the raven once again. "Well that's no fun. Oh well, it will probably hurt a bit since the area isn't numb." He said and started with stitching Sasuke's wound up with steady hands. Sasuke was surprised to find that the dobe could do something without being even the slightest bit clumsy.

After Naruto finished he put a small bandage over it and smiled. "There all done, you feeling alright bastard." Sasuke smirked and it widened as he saw a blush dust the blonde's tan cheeks. "Much better dobe, thanks." The two stared at one another for a few minutes just lost in each others' gaze then Sasuke wasn't sure why but his body decided to move forward on its own. Naruto's blush deepened but he leaned towards the raven as well. Their lips meet in a soft gentle kiss with Sasuke being the first to move his lips against the blushing blonde's plump pink ones.

The raven wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist to draw the blonde closer to him and Naruto wound his arms around the pale man's neck one hand going into raven locks as the kiss was deepened. Sasuke swiped his tongue out against the blonde's lips asking for entrance which Naruto gladly obliged opening his mouth to let the raven in. The blonde moaned as Sasuke's tongue rubbed against the roof of his mouth.

Click, click flash

Both men pulled apart and stared wide eyed at the door and the people who stood there.
