Therapist Equals The Rapist
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did I would totally make Sasuke and Naruto have hot smexin' sex.
Summary: Sasuke is a being that feeds on the human soul through sexual intercourse. There are many like him on Earth, blending in with society. The only problem? Every person they have intercourse with dies, so most of them resorted to rape instead. One of them makes a mistake and a victim gets away. In comes, Naruto, a detective given charge of the investigation. His prime suspect? Why! It's Sasuke of course! But is he in over his head on this one?
Chapter 1
"RUN! RUN FOR YOUR PUNY LIFE, WOMAN! RUN!" Her breath hitched as she rounded the corner and looked back. He advanced with ease; laughing at her attempt to get away. She ran and ran, faster than she ever ran before. There were no more feelings in her legs, just the wind that brushed up against her ever so slightly. She looked ahead at the bright light that signaled a house or town. That bright light looked more like heaven in the dark alley she was in. Behind her the man laugh got louder and she could feel his presence. He's getting closer.
"NOOOOO" she screamed loudly and reached out towards the light. He grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back. Her eyes widened and she clutched onto the corner of the walls for support. "SOMEONE! HELP! PLEASE! LET GO!" she pleaded in a loud voice. She watched as she was pulled back into the alley. This is the end!
"NOOOOOOOOO!" her hands brushed against a metal box. She looked at it. A police call box! Using all her strength she grasped onto the box and opened it. Quickly she unhooks the phone but he pulled her back in fast motion. Faintly she heard the constant hellos of the operator on the other side of the phone. Sucking in a big gulp of air she let it out in a scream.
"HELP!"
At the Hospital –
Naruto stormed his way into the lobby and headed for the front desk. The lady sitting behind it looked up and smiled. She stopped her hand from writing and waited for Naruto to speak. He looked behind him at Lee who was on the phone and writing something down. Most likely personal stuff. Then he turned back and smiled slightly at the woman.
"Hi, I'm detective Uzumaki and this is detective Lee. We're here to follow up on the rape of a young woman." Naruto showed her his badge. The woman looked shock but looked through the papers.
"Umm… do you know the name of this young woman?" she asked as though she needed confirmation for something.
"Yes, I believe her name's Haruno Sakura. She was admitted into this hospital about 4 days ago." Naruto answered. The nurse checked her up on the computer and then smiled.
"I see, she's in room 304. Take the blue elevator up and turn right." She handed them a visitor's pass and waved them on.
"Thank you, ma'am." Naruto grabbed Lee by his shirt and tugged him along. Lee flipped his phone shut.
"Naruto, Chief says we need to be careful. People are saying she's got a temper." Lee looked at him. Naruto chuckled.
"However, that's the awesome part! She's all about youthfulness!" Lee got into a fighting stance and got all excited. Once again Naruto chuckled but it was hesitant. He loved having Lee as a partner but sometimes he's a bit too much. They got onto the blue elevator and travelled up to the third floor. The doors opened and they turned right. Instantly the room stood out. There was two uniforms standing outside the door and screaming could be heard inside. The two looked at each other before whipping out their badge and headed for the door. The two uniforms checked their badge then allowed them in.
The door opened and a real loud voice boomed right at them.
"GO AWAY! YOU FILTHY BASTARD! ALL YOU PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE ME ANYWAY! WHY SHOULD I SIT HERE AND GET INSULTED! GET OUT!" a pink haired female sat on the bed as a detective tried to calm her down. She held in her hand a flower vase and was ready to throw it when she spotted Naruto and Lee. She glared at them.
"Who the hell are you two?" she placed the vase down on her bed. Naruto walked into the room; Lee closed the door and joined him. The detective looked at them before snorting. He took out a cigarette and proceeded to light it.
"There's a policy of not smoking in the hospital, detective." Naruto spoke without looking at him. Instead he walked up to Sakura and took the vase from her hands gently. Her glare softened as she watched him place it back onto the table next to her bed. The detective looked at him before looking down. He made a weird sound of disapproval before snatching it and crushing it with his own hands.
"What are you two doing here? Did the bureau think you two will be more suitable for this case?" he asked. Naruto finally looked at him then smiled a fake but genuine smile.
"No, they just thought two more pairs of helping hands won't hurt, considering…. You're not making much progress." Then he smiled at Sakura. "And you're making this pretty young lady here more stressed then she already is." Sakura blushed at the comment but remained a stern face stubbornly. The detective in turn turned red and glared in fury. He didn't like being stepped on like that.
"What gives you two the rights to say that about me?" he screamed slightly. Lee laughed at his antics to wiggle out of Naruto's indirect insults. A smirk appeared on Naruto's face. It seems even Lee can feel devious at times too.
"Nothing much, just that… my success rates are higher than yours, Kabuto…" then he looked around, "where's Orochimaru? Aren't you two inseparable?" he asked. Kabuto huffed before heading for the door.
"If you're so smart then you solve the case!" he opened the door. "I'm out of here! I'm not going to stand here for you to insult my pride." Naruto whistled as he stepped through the door.
"So even you can have pride." He said as Kabuto closed the door. The door opened again and Kabuto stuck his head back in.
"I do too!" he shouted before slamming it shut. Lee snickered along with Naruto who turned back to Sakura.
"Sorry about that, dear. I'm detective Uzumaki and this is detective Lee. We've been assigned your case. I'm sure Kabuto has been making you feel way too uncomfortable. He's like that. Only Orochimaru can be paired with him. They're both bastards that no one likes." Naruto spoke on.
"I don't need your help." Sakura stated plainly.
"Excuse me?" Lee walked forward. "I think you've mistaken-!" Naruto shot a hand out signaling him to stay quiet. She continued.
"No one's believed me anyway when I said I was raped. They all said I was too well adjusted and healthy and loud to be a rape victim. Why should you guys be any different? I'm grateful to you for chasing that guy out but I won't be sucked in by that and be bashed again."
"You're wrong." Naruto spoke just as bold as she did. She looked up in surprise. "We're different… Lee and I are completely different. We may be detectives but there are reasons why we are assigned to certain cases. We're kind of the special detectives." Sakura snorted and laughed at that.
"Special detectives? Is this some kiddies show we're filming?" she mocked them.
"No, but trust us. We can help you." Naruto placed a hand on hers and looked deeply into her eyes. After a while she sighed and smiled.
"Ok… what do you want to know?" she looked down at her blanket suddenly finding her hands interesting.
"Thank you, now, before we say anything else I want you to know that if you're feeling uncomfortable or ill during the talk you have to tell me." She nodded. Naruto turned to Lee who was already sitting down and taking out a notebook for note taking.
"If you would please, can you tell us about the incident? From the very beginning." Lee asked. Sakura nodded.
"I was walking home from my job at the Sabaku Bar. I felt weird that night. During my shift, my boss, Gaara no Sabaku came over and told me that I can get off early and even offered to drive me. He never offers employees an early leave nor does he offer rides. He's very solemn and rude and quiet. All he ever says to the employees are orders to do something. However I took his sudden kindness and got off early but rejected the ride. He looked a bit disappointed but let it go." Naruto listened to her story intently. "I gathered my stuff and said good bye to my co-workers. As I walked down the alleyway towards the big streets I heard rustling behind me. I looked back and there was this man dressed in a black cloak as if he was from the medieval times."
"Medieval times?" Lee asked. Sakura nodded.
"It was like those you see in those sorcerer movies." She explained. Lee wrote it down. "I felt endangered as he moved towards me. I began to walk faster and faster. However the guy didn't falter. He continued to chase me and I soon broke into a run. He laughed after a while and said "' RUN! RUN FOR YOUR PUNY LIFE, WOMAN! RUN!"' She shouted that phrase.
"Those exact words?" Naruto asked before Lee even opened his mouth. Sakura fell silent before nodding her head. "You've got a good memory there, Haruno-san. You should be proud of it." Naruto smiled at her. She smiled softly but continued.
"I felt scared, really scared, so I ran faster and faster. I saw the lights to the big streets and reached for it. But the man pulled me back and I hung onto the corners of the two walls. However he was stronger and pulled me back into the alleyway. I noticed a police call box so I hung onto it and opened it. I unhooked the phone but I was pulled back so I screamed help with all my might hoping the operator can hear it." Then she began to shake as the memories of the rape resurfaced. Seeing this, Naruto sat on the bed and placed both hands on her shoulders.
"Haruno Sakura, you survived. Now the next part is catching that bastard and not letting him get away free. This is your revenge, Haruno-san. Think about how happy you'll feel in hearing the sentence of the man who raped you. You'll feel such bliss that you'll think you were reborn. Follow the goal. Chase after it. You're almost there." He spoke the words without hesitation. It almost seemed like he was hypnotizing her. Her shaking stopped after a few seconds and she took several deep breaths.
"I'm ok…." Naruto let her go and sat back several paces. She opened her eyes and stared at Naruto. "He grabbed me deeper into the alley and tore off my clothing. I screamed for help louder than I've ever screamed before. His grimy hands tore off my skirt and he unbuckled his belt. Within a matter of seconds he was inside me… I felt like my life was being sucked away… I felt death nearing me. I felt the intense pain but that wasn't even comparable to feeling my life being drained. When I felt I was dying I heard faint sounds of sirens and the man tore away from me. I heard his running footsteps then the sounds of the police shouting something at me."
Lee wrote every word he heard down and then turned to Naruto who swallowed a lump in his throat. The way she described her life being sucked away made him think slightly that she was a lunatic or has gone crazy after the rape but for some reason she seemed lucid to him. His mind is thinking "whacko" but his heart or gut is telling him she's very lucid and the things she's saying is the truth. Without much to go on but her statement and the statements of the police officers who found her, Naruto had limited choices.
He sat up straighter on her bed and then stood up. The other two watched his motions.
"Thank you for your time, Haruno-san. I really appreciate you telling me everything you remember. You have no idea how I'm so glad that you gave us your statement. We were kind of running into a dead end but now with your statement we might have an open road." Naruto smiled at Sakura. She looked at him as if he was some kind of weird man. Then Lee stood as well.
"We'll be leaving for now, Haruno-san. If there's anything else we need, we'll come back. In the meantime, relax." Lee handed her a business card with both their names and contact information on it. "You may contact us at any hour if there is an emergency. We'll be there, wherever it is that you are, ASAP." Lee flashed a "youthful" smile and then the two were out the door. Two seconds later Naruto poked his head back in. Sakura looked up from where she tucked their card into the drawer next to her.
"I'm sorry. Haruno-san, what time does Sabaku bar open and close?" he asked. Sakura gave a small smile.
"Sabaku Bar is open 7 days a week from 6 in the afternoon to 3 in the morning."
"Thank you." And he left. They walked down the hallway that was littered with patients attached to IV drops and doctors and nurses who were discussing the various cases of illnesses they have on their hands. No one paid them any attention.
"Well… what should we do? There's nothing here for us. We didn't even get anything." Lee looked through the notes again. Naruto laughed.
"Not necessary, she said something useful." Naruto scratched his chin as he looked into a passing room. He noted that a woman around the age of 70 was sitting reading a mystery book. Nothing interesting there. He moved on. Lee looked at him weird.
"What did she say that is so useful you'll smile and look around idly?" he wasn't getting why Naruto was so carefree after hearing her statement. His words caused Naruto to laugh out loud slightly. They walked out of the hospital. The fresh air rushed past them in a mind blowing wind and washed the smell of medicine and sick from their senses. Naruto spread his arms out and laughed.
"She said the one thing that led me to figure out our first suspect."
"I'm not catching." Lee looked through the statement again. He still couldn't find the breakthrough, as they walked towards Naruto's affordable black car. He unlocked the doors and got into the driver's seat. Across from him, Lee began to tug hard on the door. He grunted and groaned till the door busted open and knocked him against the other car behind him. He huffed.
"Get a new car, Naruto! It's not youthful for you to drive a busted car with a dent on the passenger's door!" (This really happened. My friend's car got dented after some jackass bumped into her while she was parking into her driveway. XD) Lee slammed himself down onto the seat and closed the door with more force than needed.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Watch it! She's already busted enough! I don't need you busting her even more!" Naruto rubbed his dashboard in a soothing way. Lee snorted.
"Yeah, yeah, it's still not youthful for you to drive a busted car." He strapped on his seatbelt and they pulled out of the parking lot. "Now… what did she say that led you to the first suspect?"
"She said her boss Gaara no Sabaku, that's his name?" Lee nodded. "She said he let her off early and even offered a ride." Lee's eyes glowed as he flipped through his notes.
"Then! Then! She said that it was out of character!" Lee shouted. Naruto winced but nodded.
"Yes. All we got to do is head down to Sabaku Bar and find this Gaara no Sabaku. Then we'll know more about the case."
"Good idea."
"You know, you're doing quite well for a rookie… a bit slow though… you know-!"
"DRIVE!"
Sabaku Bar –
"Hi, is Gaara no Sabaku here?" Naruto asked one of the waitresses who wore the same skimpy short skirt and tank top as the others in the bar. She looked up and he got a look at her long blond hair, especially the one that covered one of her eyes. She smiled making her blue eyes sparkle. If I didn't know any better, I would think she was related to me. Naruto thought.
"I'm sorry. Who are you guys? Gaara doesn't like unexpected guests, especially at his bar." She placed her tray down and relocated her hand to her hip. The waitress gave a sexy smile towards Naruto. He nudged it off as he swiped at his nose with his pointing finger. Using his other hand he whipped out his badge, Lee doing the same.
"I'm detective Uzumaki and this is detective Lee. We're here on an investigation and Gaara no Sabaku, you're boss, is required to assist us." Naruto then leaned onto the table where her tray is and smiled back at her. "I would run and get him right away, miss…"
"Ino… Yamanaka Ino. And I'll be right back." She gave one last business smile before grabbing her tray and walked into the backroom. Slightly, he noticed how she was a bit tense and walked a bit too straight for a waitress who's used to bending and twisting. He stood up straighter and leaned his head back towards Lee's head. On instinct Lee moved forward.
"Does… Does she walk funny to you?" he asked. Hearing the question loud and clear Lee looked at Ino walk. He noticed there was tension but other than that it was ok.
"There's definitely tension in her steps… but I guess there's nothing funny in it. I mean maybe its cause we're detectives?" Lee asked him another question.
"Maybe…" No, it's completely different. It's not because we're detectives. Is what he really is thinking inside, but as usual he let it slide till further notice when he really needs that information. She came back several minutes later with a red head that had a tattoo of the character "love" in kanji. (It's also the love character in Chinese but since it's a Japanese manga originally I'll use kanji ^_^) She moved to the left in her steps slightly giving the two detectives a glimpse of the red head's face.
It made them shiver. His eyes were dark from mascara and his eyes were dead green, literally dead green. He glared deeply with those horrid eyes. It dug deep into the two's bones as a shiver ran up their spines. Somewhere in the back of their minds they wondered if it was such a good idea to meet this guy on an investigation. Ino and Gaara walked up to where they remained standing. She smiled again and raised a hand up ready to do introductions.
"Gentlemen, this is Gaara no Sabaku, my boss." Then she turned to Gaara. "Sir, these are the detectives that wanted to talk to you." Gaara walked forward.
"Ino," he started without looking at her. Instead he looked straight at Naruto. "Get back to work." She bowed her head and began cleaning the tables; getting ready for business.
"What can I do for you?" Gaara asked Naruto and Lee. She said he was rude, solemn, and quiet. I don't see it. Naruto thought. But he flashed his badge anyway.
"I'm detective Uzumaki and this is detective Lee. We're investigating the rape of Haruno Sakura, you're employee." Naruto answered. Gaara didn't look surprised. Instead he walked over to the bar and sat on one of the stools.
"Give me something heavy." He told the bartender who nodded his head.
"Sir." Lee began.
"Too bad for her." Gaara answered and sipped at his newly arrived drink. "I offered a ride but she didn't take it. Guess… it was decided she'd get rape."
"Your employee just got raped and you're saying stuff like that?" Lee asked furious already. Gaara smiled and laughed sadistically.
"Look, detective Lee, I offered her a ride home but she refused it. There wasn't much I could do for her. Her rape is unfortunate but people got to live their own lives as well. I can't spend my time worrying over employees. I don't waste it like that." He placed his empty cup down and turned in his stool.
"Is this going anywhere? I got a lot to do."
"In fact it is." Naruto walked closer to him. "I'm sure you're aware of the fact that you are under investigation for her rape. I would like for you to tell me where you were after she left and is there anyone who can vouch for that?"
"I'm perfectly aware I'm under investigations. As for my whereabouts…. Ino!" The blond waitress walked over quickly.
"Yes sir?" her voice was timid.
"Tell the detectives where I was last night after Sakura left."
"He was with me, detectives."
"Doing what?" Lee asked her. She looked down before looking up.
"We were doing what men and women do alone." She blushed slightly and pushed her hair back. Naruto took a good look at her blush. It seemed more of a scared blush then an "I was caught" blush. He looked back at Gaara who smirked.
"There you have it." Then he walked away. Naruto had to think fast.
"Wait! Have you seen anyone suspicious that night?" he shouted across the bar. Gaara turned around and shook his head. "Are you sure? Think carefully! Maybe you seen a man with a cloak that looks like it was from the medieval times? He might have been a bit edgy or maniacal looking…" that stopped Gaara. He turned back and walked towards them.
"Now that you mention it, there was a man like that in here that night. He had a cloak with him that looked outdated. I had a bouncer keep an eye on him since he looked a bit too perfect for my kind of bar."
"You're kind of bar?" Naruto asked him back. He nodded. Then he smiled.
"We're located in a poor and lousy district. That man was dressed in fancy clothing and sat elegantly like he was in a five star restaurant. I had to keep an eye on him." Gaara explained.
"I see… did you happen to get this guy's name?" Naruto asked. Gaara walked up to the cashier who was doing some numbers. He looked up.
"Baki, did that strange man ever pay with a credit card?"
"The one Kankuro kept an eye on?"
"Yeah."
"He did. I kept it separate in case we need it." He slipped his hand under the table mat and took out a receipt. He handed it to Gaara who handed it to Naruto. Giving Gaara one last look, he looked down at the receipt:
Customer: Uchiha Sasuke
Payment Method: Credit
Payments For:
1 apple martini
1 House Special
Total: $35
Uchiha Sasuke
Naruto widened his eyebrows at the elegant writing of this man "Uchiha Sasuke". He showed it to Lee who also took a good look at the receipt.
"What's a house special?" he asked. Baki looked up from his numbers.
"The house special is the special drink of each bartender that works the different nights. It usually costs more than a normal drink." He explained.
"Thank you. What time did this man leave?"
"He left around 2:30ish. I escorted him out since he looked a bit drunk." A tall man with face painting walked over. He nodded at Naruto and Lee. "I'm the bouncer, Kankuro no Sabaku." Kankuro shook their hands.
"Sabaku, you're siblings?" Lee asked. Gaara and Kankuro nodded.
"Got a problem with it?" Kankuro asked. Lee shook his head.
"No, just confirming things. It's procedure." Lee wrote something down.
We'll contact you for more information." Naruto and Lee headed for the door. "Oh!" he turned around. "Sabaku-san? I advise you to stay in the city till the investigation is over." Gaara nodded his head and headed back into his office. The two detectives walked out.
"What now? This Uchiha Sasuke guy is going to be a bit hard to find." Lee answered. He examined the writing. "It might be a fake name. A guy dressed that handsome coming to a so un-youthful bar in this so un-youthful neighborhood is bound to be shady." Lee spoke his thoughts.
"Hard to find? I highly doubt it." Naruto pulled his car into the streets and headed down an unknown route. Lee looked confused.
"Where we going?"
"We are going to a therapist office. Prepare to be diagnosed, Rock Lee."
"What?" Naruto laughed at his confusion.
"I recognize the name and the signature. I have a neighbor who's crazy about him. This guy named Uchiha Sasuke is a therapist in town. He's quite famous too. The women and some men are crazy about him. He's supposedly handsome and smart and perfect and rich. Sound familiar?" Naruto turned at 67th Ave. A tall glass building appeared.
"Definitely." Lee answered. They parked in an extremely clean parking lot where even the pavement looks luxurious. Lee felt stupid standing on it. Naruto didn't give a shit, he just walked along. I don't really buy what that Gaara guy said but any lead is worth checking out. I can't go wrong anywhere. The worst I can get is bump into a dead end where I'll have to reverse out. Naruto thought positively. The automatic doors opened and he walked up to the directory. He sought out the name Uchiha Sasuke. The name was placed under floor 13. In fact he was the only one on floor 13.
Lee also looked at the directory and whistled.
"This guy's rich alright. The entire floor to himself?" Naruto ignored him and walked to the elevator. They entered and pressed for floor 13. The elevator travelled upwards and opened the doors. Instantly the view of a very extravagant giant waiting room greeted them. The furniture was a plenty and the front desk was massive. The odd thing was there is only one person sitting behind the giant desk. Patients looked up as the elevator dinged and travelled back down. Naruto and Lee felt really out of place.
"Well, let's get this over with." Naruto smiled a hesitant smile. He trotted shyly up to the woman sitting behind the front desk. She looked up and stared at him with pupil less eyes. She's blind? He wondered. However she looked straight at him and smiled. Using one hand she swiped at her short navy blue hair and the other she offered as she stood.
"Welcome to Uchiha Sasuke's therapy office. I am Hyuuga Hinata, Uchiha-san's secretary. Do you have an appointment with us today, sirs?" she asked in a polite yet shy voice. (I cut out her stutter. It gets on my nerves) the polite type… a genuine one… Naruto thought before he stepped back and allowed Lee forward. Said man stepped up proudly.
"Hi, I'm detective Lee and this is detective Uzumaki, we're looking for Uchiha Sasuke." He flashed his badge along with Naruto's. The blond man stood behind Lee and scratched at where his beard would be if he had one. His eyes travelled around the office taking in the lunatic looking patients, the ones reading a magazine, vulture looking rich women who looked even more stressed then necessary, and the children who didn't act like children. They were obviously a messed up bunch. Hinata, the secretary, nodded her head in understanding but didn't move.
"I'm sorry, but I need to know why you are looking for Uchiha-san?" she asked. Lee smiled.
"Of course, we're investigating a case here that might be linked to Uchiha Sasuke. And as detectives we're just trying to eliminate all possibilities that might be wrong. So… can you get him?" Lee asked the last part slowly. Hinata nodded her head and walked into the back of the floor. Seconds later a man wearing a dark dress shirt and pants walked through. His business shoes clicked against the glass flooring. He didn't give a smile but instead he grunted.
Naruto turned and took a good look at him. He had a weird hair style for his jet black hair. However it looked soft instead of hard. Doesn't look like he gels it… don't tell me its natural… a duck's butt hair style…. Pfft…. The temptation to laugh was just so great.
"What can I help you with?" the man's voice was a low baritone but the perfect pitch. It caused Naruto to imagine him singing in a forest in a white toga with birds and tiny cute animals around him. Then he got a look at his eyes and that's when they lost him. His eyes were a definite shade of black. The pupils weren't even visible. He wasn't even sure the man had pupils.
In the little realm of fantasy Naruto created he didn't hear Lee calling his name. He wasn't even aware that he was zoning out until Lee nudged him in the stomach and mumbled about something youthful. He winced in pain before listening to Lee say his words again.
"Naruto." He spoke through gritted teeth. Naruto blinked then made an "ooh" sound in his head. This guy doesn't look like Lee's specialty…
"I'm sorry, I haven't had much time to sleep so I'm a bit out." He raised a hand. "I'm detective Uzumaki and this is detective Lee. We're here on an investigation on the rape of Haruno Sakura." Sasuke gave him a skeptical look and Hinata gasped behind him.
"Haruno Sakura? Who's that?" Sasuke asked back.
"Haruno Sakura is a waitress at the Sabaku Bar." Naruto answered and emphasized the last two words. Hearing them, Sasuke invited them inside. He ordered Hinata to hold his appointments. They walked past several doors before they reached a pair of double doors. Sasuke pushed it open and revealed a large office.
"Please, have a seat." He said as he sat down on one of the couches. Naruto and Lee sat across from him. Not wasting any more time Sasuke got straight to the point. "What does the rape of an employee from Sabaku Bar have to do with me?"
"We're not implying that it does." Lee answered.
"We're just investigating all suspicious characters that enter the bar on that particular night. You made top in our list." Naruto leaned forward. "Please tell me why a high society figure like you visited a bar in one of the lower districts?" Sasuke snorted.
"I find that the bars in the lower district more relaxing then those high society ones." Sasuke picked up a pen and leaned back. "Detective Uzumaki, I'll be frank with you since you're investigating a rape. Have you ever been to one of the high society bars?" Naruto nodded. He has. The air was full of fake smiles, comments, and appearances. Several of the women had evident plastic surgeries and it was easy to tell which man was sleeping with whose wife.
Sasuke smirked.
"So you must know how fake the atmosphere is. I didn't want to deal with the fake atmosphere so I went to a lower society district." Sasuke explained. Naruto nodded.
"That is understandable but keep in mind that 4 days ago you went to the bar and 4 days ago Sakura Haruno got raped. It's not looking good for you Uchiha-san." Naruto answered back.
"I'm quite familiar with the law. I have bumped into it once in a while with my patients. I know that I must have the words 'criminal' and 'he did it' all over me." Sasuke countered. Naruto smiled.
"As long as you understand, by the way, how long did you stay in that bar?" Lee spoke up suddenly. Sasuke turned to him.
"I'm not too sure about the accurate timing but I left somewhere around 2 to 3 in the morning." Suspicion crawled into Naruto's skin. This man is too forth coming… it's like he has nothing to hide… His eyes narrowed as Sasuke continued to explain that he saw the clock on the wall before he left and it read somewhere between 2 to 3 in the morning. He even said we can ask the bouncer if we're suspicious. Naruto leaned forward in his chair and rested his chin in his hands.
"Uchiha-san, you said you left around 2:30. Did you see a pink haired waitress getting off around that time?" Sasuke stared him before scrunching his eyebrows in concentration.
"A waitress with pink hair…. Was she talking to a red head?" So he did see her.
"Yes she was talking to a red head."
"Oh! That guy, the one with that tattoo on his forehead, yeah I saw her. She left around the same time I did. But I went the opposite way. Why?" he asked.
"She's the victim." Naruto stated in an as a matter of fact tone. The room fell silent as Sasuke took this in. Then he placed the pen down.
"Is that all, detectives?" he asked. Naruto and Lee looked at each other before nodding. They stood, shook his hand, and headed for the door. Sasuke escorted them out to the elevator.
"Before I forget, I suggest you stay in the city and not travel in case we might need more information." Sasuke nodded. As they entered the elevator, Lee suddenly shot forward to stop the doors from closing shocking both Sasuke and Naruto.
"I'm sorry, Uchiha-san but do you have a cloak that resembles the ones from the medieval times?" he asked. Sasuke looked bewildered but answered.
"Yes I did. One of my patients who are obsessed with that time period gave it to me."
"What did you do with it?" Lee sprouted another question.
"I didn't do much with it except put it on my coat rack in my office."
"Did you wear it to the bar?"
"Nope, it's been sitting on my coat rack ever since that patient gave it to me." This time Naruto walked forward and out of the elevator.
"We'll need to take that coat back as evidence." Sasuke looked even more bewildered but nodded anyway. Lee went to collect it in a plastic bag and they were on their way. As they got into the car and Naruto started the car, he reached over and punched Lee lightly on the arm.
"Nice job, rookie! You're catching on." Lee rubbed his shoulder and chuckled.
"With the way you treat me and all people will start to think I'm the younger one." Lee answered back.
"Nonsense, they'll just know you're a rookie is all. Anyway, let's get that cloak back to TenTen and see if it's the same one from the cloak that the rapist wore." Lee raised the bag up in the air and stared at it.
"Aren't we lucky we got a sample of the cloak off Haruno-san? To think she managed to get some of the fibers in her finger nails. She's got quite a grip." Lee commented.
