AN: New story! I am super excited about this story, because the plot line is huge and the characters make me squeal. This is the first fanfiction I've written with multiple characters that actually play major parts in the story, which is fun for me. While this story is focused on Sasu/Naru I want you guys to know that there will be minor coupling in here, nothing too big but little fun romances that give the story some cuties. With that said, I hope you guys enjoy the first chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, nor will I ever own Naruto. It sucks to be me.
Warning: Anything I write in here is purely for the story and if anyone is offended by it I apologize immensely; this story is for fun only, I'm not trying to make any political or religious points here.
"Nine one one, what is your emergency?" Sakura asked calmly into her ear piece, leaning back in her chair as the person on the other line frantically explained the situation. "What's the address for that?" Pause. "Yes. We're sending help now." Then she clicked off and instantly became frenzied. "Kakashi, there's a robbery down on 16th Avenue. I don't think there are any hostages but you need to send someone down there right away. I don't know how many people are involved or how serious it is, but it's best to hurry."
The gray haired officer nodded and went in search for Sasuke, already having men on a mysterious silent emergency call. He found him in the lounge room, drinking a cup of coffee and staring at the TV.
"There's a robbery down on 16th, I'm putting you on it." Kakashi said, pointing at Sasuke. Immediately, the raven was up and out of his seat.
"Do you know how many people are involved? How many weapons? Any hostages?" Sasuke asked as he walked briskly towards the car garage, Officer Kakashi keeping pace beside him.
"Sakura said there weren't any hostages so far, and that she was unsure of the danger level and the amount of people involved. Best to hurry, though." Kakashi stopped at the door off the garage, watching as Sasuke jumped hurriedly into the police car. The sirens went on in a flash of red and blue, and then Sasuke was zipping out of the garage, speeding down the street and towards the bank. Kakashi grinned. Sasuke was a hell of a cop, and he knew the situation would be easily handled. He was in for a surprise.
-O-
Sasuke pressed his foot down hard on the gas, swerving past cars and trucks in his haste to get to the scene. He had triple checked his belt and knew he had his Taser, at the very least, and he had two backup guns stored in the storage in the front of his car. He was set.
When he pulled up to the bank, nothing seemed that out of the ordinary. In fact, he almost was convinced it was a fake call until someone banged on the inside of the bank window, looking terrified. Sasuke quickly pulled out his gun and cautiously opened the door, positioning himself so that the only unprotected part of his body was his hands. There was a small whimper from inside, and Sasuke lurched forward, swinging his gun around the room, looking for the criminal. He only found cowering citizens, and not very many. He frowned, then looked for a bank teller. Something about the situation didn't seem quite right to him.
He glanced over at the nearest citizen, a red haired girl with glasses and a purple shirt. She started up at him with wide, fearful eyes. "Where are they?" he asked lowly, and she shook her head, putting her hand over her mouth. Sasuke frowned down at her then looked up. His eyes landed on a calendar, and he suddenly remembered what day it was. Sunday. None of the banks were open on Sunday. Just as he realized this, a hand clamped over his mouth and he was held in a headlock. The girl from the floor swiftly launched up and kicked the gun out of his hands, sending the weapon skidding. Then, almost as if by magic, the rest of the 'innocent citizens' stood up, grinning at Sasuke.
"I didn't realize how stupid the police were," A deep, achingly electric voice sizzled into Sasuke's ears from directly behind him. It was the voice of the man holding him. Instantly, Sasuke assessed the situation. It seemed as though everyone in the bank was working together, though the purpose he did not know. His eyes took in the hacked lock to the teller box and then shifted to where he knew the vault was. It seemed as though they had stopped mid rob and formed a different plan. One that involved a cop. Ransom.
"Well, he seemed to figure at least some of it out before you got him," the redhead said, smiling sweetly at Sasuke.
Another redhead, whose eyes were the color of the sea outlined with black kohl, glared over at the girl, but did not say a word. Sasuke took in the rest of who he would be facing: a tall looking boy with tan skin and wild brown hair, who had red upside down triangles tattooed to his cheeks, a pale girl with pale eyes and short, black hair, an older man with wild white hair and two thin red lines running vertically down from his eyes and another white haired man, but this one looked much younger and wore a tight purple tank top with multiple piercings in both his ears. They certainly seemed like the type of people fit for this profession, Sasuke thought dryly.
Then the voice behind him spoke again. "Kiba, pick up the gun and point it at this guy's head. I need a picture to send to the police." The triangle tattooed one moved to get the gun, and Sasuke instantly branded him with the name.
"Now, officer, I'm going to ask you to remain completely still, or I'll have Kiba blow out your brains. And, to be quite honest, that would be a terrible shame because you have one of the finest faces I have ever seen." Suddenly the hand was removed and the owner of the voice moved into Sasuke's line of sight. His blood ignited when he saw what the owner of the voice looked like, and he had to fight to keep his face as deadpan as possible.
"Naruto, you're not really gonna make me shoot him, are you?" Kiba asked, pointing the gun to the floor with an eyebrow raised. The blonde, Naruto, glared at Kiba but then sighed.
"I was going for super fucking badass, Kiba. It won't help if we have a cocky cop on our hands. I was trying to fucking scare him." Naruto replied, annoyance seeping from his voice. Sasuke wasn't exactly sure what was going on, but he knew he needed to get that gun back as soon as possible. Kiba was still casually holding it, and Sasuke knew if he could kick him just right it would land closer to him than any of the others.
"Please, stop fighting you two! We have a mission here," The dark hair girl said, and Kiba instantly blushed.
"Sorry, Hinata." He then tightened his grip on the gun and leveled it with Sasuke's face. Sasuke made eye contact with Kiba, who grinned reassuringly. Sasuke frowned. Never in his whole career of being a police officer had he encountered someone who smiled reassuringly as he held a gun to his head.
"What the hell is going on here?" Sasuke asked, turning to Naruto, who seemed to be the leader of the whole group.
"I believe this is called a robbery," the redheaded girl said, cocking her hip out and crossing her arms.
"You idiot, we abandoned that plan, remember? It's a hostage situation now." Said the white haired tank top man.
"Suigetsu, shut the fuck up." She growled back, flipping him off.
Sasuke chose that moment to jump forward and kick his leg out, connecting perfectly with Kiba's hand. The gun flew in the direction of the door, and Sasuke instantly summersaulted back towards it, only to be stopped by the thick, blond Naruto.
"Oi, what exactly do you think you're doing?" Naruto questioned, his gaze dark and threatening.
"I'm assuming escape," Kiba said sarcastically, rubbing his wrist and wincing.
"He could be trying to get up your pants," the oldest one suggested with a smirk.
Naruto glared at both of them, then pounced on Sasuke, straddling his hips and effectively halting his process. A burning heat wound its way through Sasuke's body and he tried to fight the oncoming blush. The unexpected contact with Naruto made him react much more than he'd like to admit. "This is taking way too fucking long. Hinata, toss me the gun. Karin, get the camera out."
Both girls followed his instructions, and Sasuke labeled each of them once more. He knew once they were arrested he would be able to at least scan all first names. Once Hinata handed him the gun, Karin stood just behind Sasuke, smartly, so the police wouldn't be able to identify Naruto. Then Sasuke felt the barrel of the gun press into his skull, and, even with the knowledge that these people weren't purposely looking to harm him, he tensed up and closed his eyes.
"That's totally perfect! Great acting, just hold that pose… Got it!" Sasuke heard the snap of the camera and opened his eyes, right as the gun was removed from his temple. Then he was hauled up by Naruto and thrown into a chair, where he was held down by the older man as Kiba tied him securely to the chair from behind. Once they were sure he couldn't move, they all stood back and stared at him.
Glaring back, he struggled against his confines, wanting to scream and cuss them out, but instead remained calm. "Why are you guys acting like this?" Sasuke asked instead, leaning back into the chair.
Naruto made eye contact that Sasuke found unable to break. "Ransom for a cop is ten times higher than anything we could steal from this bank. I think we have a little right to be happy knowing how much dough we're going to pull in." Naruto smile smirked at Sasuke, then crouched low, so they were face to face. As he spoke, Sasuke noticed the tongue ring he had, and the thought went straight to his groin. Good God, he thought, what the hell is wrong with me?
"Most criminals aren't nice to their captors. In all my years, I've never once encountered a group like yours."
Suigetsu perked up at this and nudged Karin. "Hear that? We're special."
While the others laughed, Naruto continued to stare at Sasuke. While it should have been unnerving and even a bit frightening, Sasuke felt nothing but pure heat crawl through his body.
Suddenly there was a ringing, and Naruto looked down at his phone. When he saw the number, he smiled. "Looks like your buddies got the message, officer."
Sasuke started at the title, remembering that Naruto still didn't know his real name. He watched as the blonde answered the phone, casually saying hello as if it were his mother calling, not the police.
"This is not… Sasuke," he sent a wink towards the raven, who tensed immediately. "No, I do have Sasuke with me, however." Pause. "Of course I haven't hurt him. Yet, anyway. That will come in the future if you don't work nicely with me." Pause. "No, this was not a simple bank robbery. Had you guys thought that through, poor Sasuke," said man held back an aroused shiver, "wouldn't be in this mess." Pause. "I'm asking for about one million dollars here." Pause. Naruto laughing. "You police officers sure do love your workers. Honestly, I don't even know if you'd pay me that money if I had the president held hostage." Pause. "You can try to enter the premises but I've currently got a gun to your guys head and if I so much as hear a siren come my way, I will make a helluva ugly hole in this pretty boy's head." Then Naruto snapped the phone closed.
Watching as he repeatedly smashed the device with his foot, Sasuke wondered how the hell he was going to get out of this.
"Boss, how are we going to manage this, exactly?" Karin asked, eyeing the now destroyed phone with a small amount of dismay. Sasuke noticed as she tucked her hair behind her ear that she a small tattoo of a bird just below her left ear, and mentally stored that bit of information.
"Jiraiya," Naruto started, staring at the oldest man. "Go get the codes for the vaults." Jiraiya nodded, then jumped over the counter of the bank and walked towards the vault, a certain swagger in his steps that made Sasuke want to instantly like him.
"Naruto," Sasuke said lowly, watching as the blonde turned his head in surprise. "Just let me go. It would be so much simpler for all of us if you let me go. Because you and I both know that you're not going to get away with this." Sasuke looked hard into Naruto's amused eyes, then jolted when he felt his calloused hands grab his chin and pull him closer.
"I think my team and I are doing just fine, Sasuke-chan." Naruto smiled when the raven blinked in surprise as he used the Japanese honorific. Then a slight blush erupted over his cheeks and he looked away. What the hell had gotten into him? Why was this man so good at distracting him from his job?
Naruto smirked and backed away with a wink, then went to the windows and pulled the curtains closed. Kiba was sitting on a chair in the waiting area, talking to Hinata, who seemed quiet enough, but her appearance and clothing proved otherwise. She had on tight ripped skinny jeans and combat boots, with a black cotton tank top covered by a dark brown leather jacket. He saw the beginnings of a tattoo on her chest, but it disappeared under her shirt. Kiba seemed entranced by this woman, and Sasuke knew that would come to his advantage later on.
Suddenly there was an explosion of glass from the front door and everyone was on their feet, weapons drawn and aimed at the door. Sasuke was stunned with the clean and precise way they moved together, and it showed just how long the gang had been working together.
"Put your weapons down. We are here to get Sasuke and Sasuke only. If you let us do that, we will let you go, free of charge." The deep voice boomed, and Sasuke instantly recognized his brother, and relief filled his chest the same time dread did, mixing painfully in his stomach.
"The only way you're getting Sasuke is if you fork over one million fucking dollars," Naruto calmly replied, pointing his gun directly at Itachi's head. Sasuke struggled desperately in his seat, his eyes wide.
"Don't shoot him! Naruto, don't you dare shoot him," Sasuke shouted, gasping when Naruto quickly turned on him, a bemused expression on his face. He looked just as confused as Sasuke felt. Why had he used his name like that? He had said it almost… intimately.
However, Itachi used this distraction to get a jump on Naruto and leaped for him. Naruto, it seemed, was faster, and quickly dove out of the way. Itachi instead ended up getting Karin, who screamed and pounded his arm. Then Sasuke's brother held his gun up to Karin's head and made eye contact with each of the gang members.
"I am going to be very clear about this, so listen carefully. I will exchange this girl for Sasuke. If you decline that offer, not only with I arrest her and take her to jail, I will shoot all of you in the spines and make sure you never walk again." As he spoke, more backup poured into the bank, and among them Sasuke spotted Ino, Kakashi, and Neji, all with their guns raised. Once Neji entered the premises, Sasuke heard Hinata curse. Neji's eyes instantly flew towards Hinata, and when he saw her, he paled.
"Hinata…?" He asked, almost dropping his gun.
Naruto glanced back at Hinata, who was looking even more trapped than she had before. Then she high vaulted over the counter and ducked just as a spray of bullets went by with Neji screaming, "DON'T SHOOT! DON'T FUCKING SHOOT!" and then Karin elbowed Itachi in the face, staggering him, and quickly slid out the front door, running at full speed as the rest of her team launched themselves behind the counter.
Kiba was the last one, and in a desperate attempt to stop them, Ino pulled her trigger. Sasuke watched almost in slow motion as the bullet imbedded itself in Kiba's flesh and bone. There was a loud shout but he kept moving, grabbing his shoulder as he ran. Then suddenly they were all gone and Sasuke was surrounded by Itachi and Kakashi, while Ino and Neji went after the team of criminals.
"Are you okay?" Itachi asked desperately, inspecting every inch of Sasuke face and body, his eyes full of worry. Kakashi untied him, and as Sasuke stood up Itachi captured him in a fierce hug, nearly crushing Sasuke's lungs in the process. "I was so worried about you, little brother. They didn't hurt you, did they?"
Sasuke shook his head and pulled himself from Itachi's bone-crushing hug. Then he turned to Kakashi and thanked him.
"You're welcome, Sasuke. But, I need to ask you something. How did they manage to get you hostage? You're one of the best on our squad. What happened?" Kakashi asked kindly, winding the rope around his hands and then tossing it onto the counter.
"I assumed it was a bank robbery, just like all of you, and walked in with my weapon pulled. Most of them were positioned on the floor, acting scared or frightened, but since I couldn't see the 'robber' I felt like something was… off. Which of course, it was. Although by the time I remembered that it was Sunday, Naruto, the blonde guy, was behind me and he had me in a headlock. Then Karin, the redheaded girl, kicked my gun out of my hand and things just escalated from there." Sasuke stopped to think, scratching behind his head. "The weird thing is, they were all… nice, in a way. They never actually hurt me, and when they sent that picture to you of the gun to my head, they told me what they were doing. It was all so strange."
Itachi chewed on his lip for a moment, which reminded Sasuke of Naruto's lips, which brought on the thought of his tongue, and ended up with Sasuke imagining how Naruto's tongue ring would feel against his own tongue, or maybe even his– Sasuke's thoughts were cut off by Neji and Ino walking back into the room together, arguing back and forth about how they could have done this or that to capture the team. They stopped and looked up when they realized they had an audience.
Kakashi raised an eyebrow, and Neji glared at Ino, then sank down into a chair, putting his face in his hands. "Shit. I knew Hinata was getting out of line, but I didn't know she was that bad."
Sasuke looked over at this, brows raised. "How do you know her?" he inquired, watching as Neji worriedly bit at his thumb nail.
"She's my cousin." He answered shortly, sighing at the end of his sentence.
Everyone in the room let a moment of sympathetic silence draw out before Kakashi spoke up. "We're gonna need to head back to the station so we can give the information to Sakura so she can file it. And I feel like Sasuke needs a rest." Kakashi smiled over at him. Sasuke smiled slightly back, then followed his team out of the bank, watching almost in a haze as Itachi put up yellow tape surrounding the area. Then he climbed back into his car and spent the rest of his day trying to forget those alluring blue eyes.
-O-
"Shit, that bitch got me bad," Kiba complained as Hinata nursed his bullet wound, which, thankfully, hadn't hit anywhere other than his shoulder. Hinata refrained rolling her eyes at him, quietly worrying over the fact that Neji had seen her. The shame that had filled her in that moment almost made her want to cry, but she held back, knowing this was where she belonged. She had been the good girl her whole life, and she was done with that.
Naruto paced in the living room of her apartment, which was were the gang usually hung out. Everyone had made it out okay, but Karin had showed up to the apartment late, bruised and exhausted, but still okay. When Suigetsu saw this, he instantly complained, but everyone, even Karin, saw the relief that had filled his eyes.
Gaara sat like a statue on one of the counter stools, peacefully sipping water from the glass cup. Jiraiya had, almost immediately started cracking sexual jokes about Naruto and the cop, even as they were on the run. Naruto had ended up punching Jiraiya in the stomach, but even through his pain the man found the situation to be quite hilarious.
Hinata looked back at Naruto, who seemed deeply affected by the event. He wasn't usually this… tense, after a robbery. They had still gotten quite a bit of money, thanks to Naruto's insight to get the codes to the bank vaults and computers, and Jiraiya's skill with computer systems. Everything had gone, for the most part, fine. Yet Naruto still paced back and forth, his eyes latched onto something far away.
Kiba noticed this too and called over, "Hey, Naruto. What the hell's wrong, man?"
Naruto looked up, startled, then glanced back down, running his tongue over his lips. "Nothing in particular. I just…" He stopped, sank onto the couch, then stood back up again, pacing once more. Gaara rolled his eyes and took another sip of water.
"He can't stop thinking about that cop, Sasuke." Gaara told them, smirking when Naruto jerked at the mention of the police officer's name. Hinata raised her delicate eyebrows, then continued to dab at Kiba's wound, which didn't look like it would need stitching. Finally pulling back, Hinata allowed herself to appraise Kiba's body until she looked away with a slight blush, tossing the bloody rag onto the counter and trading it for gauze. As she wrapped it around Kiba's shoulder, she glanced over at Jiraiya again.
"Jiraiya, everything went okay with those codes, right?" she asked, and got an affirmative nod from him. She turned back to Kiba and, satisfied that he would live, stepped back. He jumped down from the table and grinned adoringly at Hinata, thanking her, before he grabbed his pack of cigarettes and went to smoke on the balcony.
"Do you think he's okay?" Naruto asked suddenly, looking up. "Do you think his squad got mad at him for…"
"For what?" Suigetsu interrupted, "Being a hostage?"
"Yeah, Naruto, I think you're over thinking things." Karin agreed, sending a glare towards Suigetsu for no reason.
Jiraiya chuckled, snapping his laptop shut. He grinned tauntingly at Naruto before he said, "Nah, he just can't stop thinking about that sexy hunk of cop. I think this one's attracted to authority figures. Or maybe it's the forbidden thing that's cranking his engine. Naruto, you kinky bastard."
Naruto flipped Jiraiya off, muttering 'bastard' under his breath as he turned away. "I think I'm gonna go upstairs and lie down," Naruto declared as he climbed the steps.
"Make sure to use lube so you don't chafe!" Jiraiya called, laughing.
Hinata hid a smile, but somehow she knew that Naruto wouldn't be able to get the cop out of his head. Only one other person had ever affected him like that. She hoped this wouldn't turn out the same way.
