If you could only see the beast you've made of me

I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free

Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart

drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart

My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in

You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl

My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in

You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to

Howl, howl

Howl, howl

Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack

My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out

The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound

I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground.

Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins

I want to find you tear out all your tenderness

And howl, howl

Howl, howl

Florence + the Machine: "Howl"

It was winter and the weather never seemed to change. The pearly greys in the sky only swirled and changed like a drop of ink might in a bowl of milk. The weather was cool and cold, but never anything else, unless rainy. Winters were harsh and the evidence was all over the trees, or what would be trees in spring, but now were only withered mangled branches bare of their decorations.

Kiba saw all this and knew the weather was enough to depress even the most chipper. He was aware of the townsmen and what they thought of the huntsman who kept only to himself and his dogs at the edge of town, but like with the weather, he didn't give it much thought. The only reason he was there, in the town that pumped with nervous energy, was because he'd been summoned. There had been, at first, a murder and then another and finally a third woman had been attacked, but this one escaped with her life.

She'd seen nothing, but heard plenty and most of the clues pointed to Kiba. He stood now outside of the door which might hold more answers; for he was confused as to his part in the scheme of things.

There was nothing left to do. Kiba stood at the well engraved wooden door with a dark stain and an ornate, polished brass knob. If he stood and stared at it any longer, surely the people of the town would think him more than strange, but mad or an idiot as well. He cleaned off his sweaty hand on his dark brown pants and tossed the cigarette he'd smoked out of pure nerves before stepping inside.

The building was quiet. The tile was clean and reflective in its spotlessness. He saw a few plants around the space, that must have been kept alive with embers in that harsh winter, and some chairs that were empty. He looked at the desk before him and recognized the secretary there. She was small, shy and usually in a good mood to greet him when they met, but not that day. Kiba felt the change in her when she heard the door softly click shut behind him. She tensed and her pretty pale face was red at once.

Kiba approached her and wondered if he was in the right building. She inched forward as if only just holding herself back from crawling under the wide dark mahogany desk in defense. Kiba frowned, but didn't say anything. His wide brown eyes, which most were convinced were too canine in their open nature, settled on her when he'd reached a proper distance for a conversation.

"Uh, good morning Ms. Hyuuga. I was called here?" he asked nervously and still unsure if that was the right place where he'd been summoned. He offered her the note that had been tacked to his door and waited patiently for Hinata to respond.

She took the paper with a shaky hand and noted it down. "R-right through there," she spoke in her usual thin high voice and motioned in the direction of a second door that led to another waiting room.

Kiba thanked her and took his letter back as she held it out. He stood at the door of the room where there were many others waiting to see the several town officers and likely the mayor as well for their own business. They all seemed well dressed, educated, townspeople and probably some from the city by the looks of them. Kiba felt under-dressed in his clean, but worn leather shoes and tucked in flannel shirt. He adjusted the old brown jacket he had on and pressed the letter of summons into his breast pocket before approaching the barest wall, and leaning against it as he waited.

He didn't have to wait too long. In a few short minutes Kiba heard his name and pushed off of the wall. He fixed his jacket yet again and walked into the room that he was called to. Kiba took a seat in the large room and tried to keep his eyes on the woman ahead of him and off of all the decorations on the walls and the books upon the large shiny bookshelf. He pulled out the letter, but before he could speak through his dry throat, she spoke.

Shino had awoken that morning wet and naked. He was on the floor of his bedroom rather than on his bed, and he'd had a nightmare. Shino was soaked when he woke up in what he assumed was sweat. He picked himself up off the ground, and took a shower. He had to change and go see the mayor, who wanted to enlist his help in getting to the bottom of a slew of recent murders. He'd agreed to help after her call and was now on his way over to the mayor's office, where he'd be briefed on all the details of his assignment.

It wasn't like he didn't already know enough. The murders were the talk of the town and already there were some whispers in the city. But he knew very well that one should always beware the dangers of human hysterics and the need to embellish on details. He looked at the time as he approached the mayor's office, and told the secretary that he was there. He went to sit down with a few other people along the wall of chairs, and waited to be called as he was directed.

Shino opened his leather satchel and took out a notebook. He began jotting down notes of all the disappearances he'd read about in the paper. Sources couldn't necessarily be counted on this way, but it was good to keep note of a few things he already knew. Local law enforcement in small towns, he'd noticed, tended to smudge the details sometimes to make things sound more interesting to the townspeople, which in his opinion didn't make sense. The people were frightened enough. They didn't need more reasons to be scared. He made note of a few similar characteristics of the attacks. To him, in his expert opinion, it didn't seem the work of a human, more like an animal.

Shino was looking through some of the old newspapers dating back to the first attacks, and saw a picture of a huntsman with an article about him and his dogs. He hummed in thought and leaned back in his seat. He looked an awful lot like the man that had just come into the waiting room.

Then the shy secretary came in again and called a 'Kiba Inuzuka'. He looked back at the picture depicting the huntsman. Beneath it was a name. It was Kiba Inuzuka. He looked up across the room and saw it was the same person who stepped forward. Shino stared at him from behind his dark tinted glasses as he walked across the room and towards the door to see the mayor. He took every small detail that he could in that brief instance.

---

"Kiba Inuzuka, I called you here. I don't need my own words given back to me," Tsunade said while Kiba was attempting to unfold the letter he'd received with slightly damp hands.

"I suppose by now you know the crime and why you've been called," she asked.

Kiba was still completely in the dark. He wished he could say he knew more than he did so he didn't come off as ignorant of current events as he was. He didn't live in the town and matters within it hardly mattered to him, unless it concerned the sale of his own products, but he was only in town once a month, otherwise the buyers came to him.

"I don't know," Kiba finally said after swallowing around the lump in his throat several times.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes. Complete denial of events was often a technique used by criminals, but interrogating Kiba wasn't her job. Her reason for bringing him in was only to inform him, that as a person of interest in an open murder case, he would not be allowed to leave the town. It was as simple as that.

"I really don't know," Kiba added and cleared his throat. 'What was going on?' He asked himself.

Tsunade took her time to explain the cases and the deaths. She spoke at last of the latest victim that had survived the attack, and made sure to take note of Kiba's reactions. She saw horror and fear, but whether the feelings surfaced due to guilt or genuine concern she wasn't certain.

Kiba's heart was beating fast. If this thing was out there, his dogs were in danger. If it were canine in nature, Kiba was sure to master it, as he'd always had a strange talent for taming even the wildest of dogs, but his own pets were not him. They were loyal and tame and only attacked on command, but that was one command Kiba had never had reason to use. They herded and corralled. They hunted and tracked, but they'd never killed. He was protective of them. They'd never needed to do more than be faithful and his to be his companions. Kiba had to calm down though. He still didn't understand how he was involved.

Tsunade let Kiba take it all in for a few minutes before speaking again.

"Surely, you are aware that because of your occupation and the company you choose to keep you've come to the attention of the police chief. I called you in to give you this formal order from the Town of Konoha. You are not allowed to leave the town until the investigation is closed," she said and offered him a thick bunch of pages that said all she'd summarized in much more detailed terms.

"Sign it," she said.

Kiba felt like he had no choice. He took up the pages and tried to read them, but struggled. Her stare made him feel like he were wasting her time. He would have preferred to have somebody read it to him and explain what he was signing, but as she continued to look at him struggle and offered no help, he had no choice, but to pick up the fountain pen that was offered and sign away.

---

Shino continued to stare at the door even after it closed when the one named Kiba walked inside. He could still replay that entire insignificant movement of him crossing and going into the room. He told himself he was memorizing the angles of his face for his investigation. As for the muscles emphasized by his shirt and jacket and the fit of his jeans, which showed how perfect his as- he stopped those thoughts there and cleared his throat. He went back to his notes, but tore the picture of Kiba out of the newspaper and placed it in his pocket, for reference or so he told himself.

Shino put his notes and the latest newspaper into his satchel when the shy secretary came back to tell him that Tsunade was almost ready for him. He nodded and said his thanks to her as he fixed his jacket and readied his bag. He stood by the door and it wasn't long before it opened. He looked up in time to see Kiba stepping out. Shino stepped to the side to get out of his way, but kept his eyes on him. It was nearly impossible to look away. He had such intense eyes it was hard not to stare.

Kiba narrowed his eyes as he took in the well-dressed man. From the city, that was Kiba's first thought as he saw the dark glasses and his style. He was good looking and Kiba managed a smile that showed his sharp and pronounced canines before leaving the threshold. He was captivated by the look of the other and for a moment before leaving he couldn't stop thinking of him.

Kiba warmed up by the unexpected thought of meeting the other another time, but he quickly dismissed the idea after starting his long trek back to the outskirts of town and to his home. He had many things to do. One of which was securing all of the fences and making sure his dogs would be safe at night. He'd move them into his small cottage with him, if he had to to keep them safe.

Shino's breathing hitched at the smile and he stared after him again before he'd gone. As soon as he was he snapped out of it and walked into the Mayor's office. He took a seat and greeted, "Tsunade," he said and inclined his head in her direction.

Tsunade gave a slight nod. "Detective Aburame," she greeted and gave him a warm smile. "Shino," She said with a much friendlier tone. She was friends of his father, a famous and quiet detective in his own time that Shino very much reminded her of.

Shino placed his satchel on his lap. "I've gone over the newspaper reports and found a few common characteristics between them, but I have to ask if I could see the official reports. I'd also like to know if the stories in the paper have been tampered or embellished in anyway," he said getting right to the point. "I believe things will go much faster if I'm given all the facts up front rather than going on false leads while more people die," he said calmly and collected. He pushed up his glasses as he waited for her reply.

"I have all the files you'll be needing directly from the police department," she said and pulled out a folder looking far too thin for three incidents.

"I'm afraid there isn't much to go on, but I know the situation is dire enough to have called you in," she said and slid the folders forward.

"The reports, I'm afraid, cannot be trusted as printed. I've secured you the contact information and addresses for each of the newspapers in town and the reporters. There are only two, one is local news, the other covers cases outside of the town as well and the third I'm afraid is a newspaper that is simply redistributed from the City, but none of these crimes have made it out of the town just yet," she informed him as she handed him yet more information.

"There are a few people the chief directed his officers to look at, one of which you just encountered, Kiba Inuzuka," she said.

Shino took the folders from her and looked through them as he sat there, reading on the details until he heard the news about Kiba and looked up at her.

"He's a suspect?" he asked and was a little confused. He hadn't gotten that 'vibe' from him, but he guessed his gut feeling couldn't be right every time. He nodded.

"I see," he muttered turning back to the pictures of the bodies and grimaced. Were Kiba Inuzuka and his dogs responsible for this? Tsunade obviously didn't have proof otherwise he wouldn't be walking about free.

"How about the others?" he asked now. "The names of the other suspects?" he clarified, pushing his glasses up again.

Tsunade pulled out a single page. "This is all we have." She said and on the top of the list was Kiba.

After Kiba, Naruto Uzumaki was listed for his friendship with the local foxes and pranks as a young teenager on the townspeople. He also lived a solitary life in the outskirts of town, but he lived south, where as Kiba took to the north where the forest grew thicker. The third and last person of interest was Kisame Hoshigaki, a visitor that had recently come into town. He only stayed for a while and usually left for months at a time. He had no connection with the town or its people. It was suspect that his arrival coincided with the crimes in a town that had been relatively peaceful before his arrival that year. He was known to spend his time east of the center of town, where a well-worn walking trail that ventured through the thinner parts of the forest came to an end at a river that cut through the outskirts and into other territories.

Shino took the single sheet of paper and looked through the list of names, which had no pictures of the other two suspects, but did list all three of their addresses. He made a mental note to talk to Kiba first and couldn't help but be a little anxious about that. He wondered if he should bring something, but shook those thoughts aside.

"Very well, I'll investigate these as well. Were there any witness testimonies that saw any of the attacks or heard anything?" he asked Tsunade as he put the sheet into his briefcase. He knew it wasn't likely there would be any. After all whatever or whoever it was seemed intent on killing everything that was in sight.

Tsunade shook her head slowly. "The only surviving witness is the last young woman, who was attacked and survived," she informed.

"Sadly, she is under the care of Nurse Sakura just a few doors down at Konoha Clinic. She isn't well and the police have yet to get a straight answer out of her. You may have better luck," she proposed.

"Her name is Anko Mitarashi," she said solemnly. "She is older than the others and a very strong woman who is not afraid to speak her mind or work outside with some of the men. It's her strong will to live that I believe enabled her to survive the attack," she said and gave Shino yet more information on Anko's contact information, where she was currently and where she lived on a normal basis.

Shino nodded and wrote that all down as well. "I'll try and see if I can get her to be a little more coherent," he said. "I'll talk to her first then I'll question Mr. Inuzuka. I must ask though, Tsunade, what is the basis of your suspicion of Kiba Inuzuka? I read about him and his kinship with dogs, but that is all," he explained.

Tsunade gave Shino a slightly knowing look. "I like Kiba. He's young and was only ever trouble around town as a young boy," she began to explain. "It is the police chief who suspects him the most. I have my doubts, I won't lie, and today I wasn't able to gauge anything from our conversation other than his slight fear, but anybody's reaction would be that." She said.

"He keeps to himself though and I do understand our Chief's reasoning. Kiba owns many dogs and keeps them, some are more wolf than dog. He is good with animals and even the wilderness doesn't scare him. I'm afraid, in this case, he may just be too different and his dogs have many of the characteristics that it would take to leave the type of wounds that we've seen on the corpses of the attacked. Ripping of the flesh leads to a savage attack. The patterns are of canines similar to a wolf or something larger." She shook her head.

"There are a few red flags. He's just a person of interest at the time though. I wouldn't go as far as to officially name him a suspect yet," she said even though they were listed as such.

Shino nodded. "Very well, I just wanted to know what I was dealing with," he said and bowed his head politely before standing.

"Thank you for your time and the information, Tsunade. I promise I'll do my best to track down the cause of these vicious attacks quickly and soon the people in your town will be able to feel more at peace," he said.

He outstretched his hand and shook hers. "I'll be off to the clinic and I'll report to you my findings," he assured her.

Tsunade shook his hand heartily. "We appreciate your time and effort." She said and took her seat once more when he was gone. She had others to see and more work to do. She had to trust Shino to do his work without doubting him or his abilities that were superior to anybody in the field.

---

Shino made his way to Konoha Clinic and spoke to the one on the other side of the desk and asked to see Nurse Sakura, so that he could be granted clearance to see Ms. Mitarashi. He waited, one hand in his pocket until he could hear the clicking of her shoes on the tiled floor. He turned to a pink haired lady and inclined his head respectfully.

"Miss Sakura I presume," he said and held out his hand to shake hers. "I'm here on business from the Mayor. I'm Inspector Shino Aburame and I'm investigating the brash of maulings that have taken place within the past couple months, and I understand you have a victim here in your hospital. I'd like to speak to her please," he said once again getting right to the point.

Sakura gave a brief nod after shaking his hand. "Yes. Yes. Tsunade informed me that you might come in," she said as she'd also been briefed by Tsunade about their request for additional aid in the case.

"I'm not certain that Anko- Ms. Mitatrashi will be able to be of any help, but you are welcome to try and speak with her by special request of our mayor," Sakura said.

She was worried. Like any young woman of the area with knowledge of the crimes and details of the gore, she was afraid. She wanted this solved just as much as the mayor herself.

"It's this way ," Sakura said after staring at his face and hoping to find a little spark that would tell her that he was really there to save them.

Shino followed the pink haired nurse down the ward to a private room. "I would prefer to be alone, if you don't mind. If you could just stand by the door," he requested before stepping in and closing the door behind him.

He approached the bed and sat down at a chair beside the woman, Anko. Her eyes were wide and showed her fear; her lips were moving rapidly issuing silent breaths. She was muttering something over and over, but what he could not hear.

"Ms. Mitarashi," he asked gently in a soothing voice. It was best to approach the traumatized woman carefully.

"My name is Shino Aburame," he said. "I know that you're afraid, but I need to know what it is that you saw that day," he said slowly and calmly. "I plan on putting them to justice whoever or whatever it is, but I need your help to do that," he said leaning forward. "Can you remember anything at all about that night?" he asked her now.

Sakura stood at the door as requested and listened in hoping Shino would get more out of her than anybody else had so far.

Anko recognized the scent in the room. She was blinded by her fear of the attack though and didn't react to the scent other than momentarily stopping her muttering and turning to look in Shino's direction, but still past him and towards the corner of the room.

"Blood. Blood. Blood," she muttered and shook. She moved her head from side to side and gasped for breath. She touched her bandaged neck and hissed in pain. "Blood," she said again in a harsh whisper as if sharing a deep dark secret.

Shino nodded. "I know its not something you want to think about Ms. Mitarashi, but I have to know so I can help," he coaxed. "Is 'blood' the only thing you can remember about that night? You can't remember a face? A smell? A sound? A voice?" he read off gently. "Or if it was an animal?" he tried.

Anko's eyes widened further until Shino feared her eyes could stand no more and watered. She closed her eyes at last and squeezed the tears out.

"Hair," she said and moved her hands into open and closed fists. "Hair," she repeated and looked at her hand as if she expected to see the matted hair she'd ripped from the creature that had attacked her.

"Blood," she said again and then seemed to lose her focus and fade back to her previous unintelligible muttering as she'd been when he'd come in.

Sakura stood frightened. She knew what Anko meant. She'd been cleaned up and her clothes and the hair she'd ripped from what had attacked her was all at the police station now. She'd need to inform Detective Aburame of that.

Shino was confused. Had she managed to get hair samples of the man or beast that attacked her? Why hadn't he been informed of this? It was of no consequence. The important thing remained getting the evidence and examining it himself.

"Thank you Ms. Mitarashi," he said quietly, "for your time and your bravery for living through that awful night to tell me that. You've given me some good information," he said and stood up. "Rest up Ms. Mitarashi," he said before turning and walking out back into the hall.

"She's been through an awful experience," he said to Sakura.

Sakura inhaled deeply and gave a nod. "She really has," she agreed quietly.

"May I ask what you've done with the clothes she was brought here in?" he asked her.

Sakura knew the question was coming after she'd heard Anko's words. She offered Shino an address she'd written down. "They're at the police station. You can speak with Chief Jiraiya," Sakura said and wished him luck.

Shino nodded her way. "Thank you very much for your cooperation, Ms. Haruno," he said and inclined his head in thanks. "I know it's unlikely, but if she happens to remember anything else, please get in touch," he said and pocketed the address then left to the police station.

Jiraiya paced the building as he dealt with his two officers who were about to go on duty. He directed one to the south and one to the north of town. He had a plan that had worked so far in keeping the town in order. In his time, only petty theft had been reported and once a man had spoiled his neighbor's crops. Murder was the toughest crime they'd had to deal with since he'd become chief, against his will he'd always mention. Over half of his squad had already quit. They weren't cut out for it. He knew not all of them were.

Shino stood outside the station, looking up at the sign. He could hear from where he was that it wasn't a busy day. He would've thought the place abandoned with how quiet it was. He took a breath and walked in and up to the front desk. There was no one behind it, so he rang the bell and waited. Perhaps they were busy after all.

Jiraiya waved the officers away as soon as their short meeting was over. He headed to the front desk, where even their secretary had quit. "Good morning," he said and eyed the man waiting there. He recognized him or rather he recognized his resemblance to a man he knew very well once.

Shino turned when he heard a deep voice. "Chief Jiraiya," he said and held out his hand in greeting.

"Inspector Shino Aburame, I'm working on the murder case by order of the mayor. I believe evidence of the attack was sent here," he said. "I was hoping for your full cooperation as well as the cooperation of your law enforcement officers," he said as usual, getting right to the point.

Jiraiya shook his hand. "Yes. I was told Old Lady Tsunade sent for you. I'm glad you're here." He said and quietly added. "Not everybody is cut out for this job. We've already proven that here. Half of my officers have quit and a member of our special officers- well, she was the first victim." He said and motioned for Shino to follow him. "The evidence locker is this way." He said

Shino nodded. He understood not everyone had the stomach and courage to deal with the truth of the world. The truth being, there were some sick people out there.

"Chief?" Sasori asked peeking beyond the door as he overheard the conversation. "Do we carry out our plans?" he asked as the second deputy, Sasuke Uchiha, came up with him.

Jiraiya paused when Sasori and Sasuke came up to them.

"Meet our guest," Jiraiya said quiet serious for once, "Shino Aburame. He'll be helping us and Inspector Aburame, these are my most trusted."

Shino inclined his head in acknowledgment towards deputies Sasori and Sasuke.

"They will help you as much as you need. Today we had planned to pay Kisame Hoshigaki and Naruto Uzumaki a visit. Kiba Inuzuka has been handled by the mayor herself this morning to keep him in town, but we have plans to speak with him." Jiraiya explained hoping to catch Shino up as fast as possible. The bath house opened in an hour after all and Tuesdays were half off drinks.

"That's good, I think I'll handle Kiba Inuzuka myself as he is the lead suspect while your deputies check on Mr. Hoshigaki and Mr. Uzumaki," Shino said to them all and followed them to the lockers where a baggy was handed to him with the information tagged on it, labeling it as belonging to the latest victim and a member of the special law enforcement officers, Anko Mitarashi.

He took it over to a table and laid the clothes out and grimaced at the marks. "This doesn't look like the work of something human. Clearly Tsunade was right to focus on the three suspects who have an affinity for some kind of feral animal," he said as he read up on them. Each of them had some kind of connection, foxes, dogs, and sharks. The tears in the clothes were definitely from something wild.

"There were fibers?" he asked them.

Sasori nodded and got out another tagged baggy with the hairs they had gotten from under Anko's fingernails and in her fists. "She didn't make it easy for whatever it was," he said with a slight note of pride in his voice.

Jiraiya noted the tone in Sasori's statement. He felt the same about her even if he hadn't been the one to train her.

"She's a fighter," he said and pulled down an empty box. "You may take those to your temporary home and examine them, but check them out on the roster," he said and checked the time. "I'll leave you boys to it. Report back to me tonight. I'll be on the team running night patrol," he said that to his two officers and then turned to Shino and shook his hand. "Tonight we'll be gathering here at 7 pm, when night has fallen. You're free to join us to collect their information and to share what you've found," he said.

Shino nodded. "Very well," he said and shook his hand. Shino put the evidence back in the baggies to take them back to his home.

"Kiba Inuzuka is only the prime suspect, but this line of work has taught me that counts for very little in the grand scheme of things, so deputies, keep your guard up while investigating the two other suspects," he advised.

Sasori nodded. "Will do," he said. "I'll take Kisame Hoshigaki," he said.

"I'll go see Uzumaki. We have a slight history. He'll be easy to gauge." Sasuke said and waited for Jiraiya to leave.

Jiraiya left them to their own devices with his mind partially already elsewhere.

"But I don't think Naruto did it. He's an idiot. I doubt he could steal a piece of candy and get away with it," He said and exhaled, "but I'll keep an open mind," He said to Sasori and Shino.

"It was nice meeting you, Inspector Aburame." Sasuke said and was the first to leave. He didn't even need the case file. He knew perfectly well where Naruto lived. He hadn't moved out of his cottage since they'd been in school together.

"See you at 7," Sasori said to Shino before collecting his own case file for Kisame. They had gone to school together, but he wouldn't say they'd been friends exactly. He would peg someone like Kisame to be into this sort of thing however. He always had that bad boy thing going on. He took off to Kisame's house then wondering to himself what Kisame had been up to all those years.

Shino nodded to him and left. He dropped his things off at his temporary house before making his way to Kiba Inuzuka's place out in the woods. He had a small sample of the clumps of hair found under Anko's fingernails, to compare it to any of Kiba's own dogs. The rest of the sample he'd left at home to go over later. The first thing he noticed on the way to Kiba Inuzuka's home was that it was well out in the middle of nowhere, a few miles away from any neighbor.

---

Sasuke was the first one to reach his destination. Naruto's house was in between very tall trees that seemed to protect his home. The entrance was framed by two thick ancient trees that almost looked like pillars. He walked past them and inhaled deeply. The wind was blowing nicely between the bare branches and even the pebbles looked cold. He walked up to the door of the quaint cottage and knocked on the front door. Sasuke fixed his bangs and then his badge and jacket.

Naruto was on his way home from the market, carrying his bags in his arms, when he saw someone at his front door and paused in his step. He'd recognize that duck ass anywhere.

"Sasuke?" he asked anyway and saw the raven turn. He walked up to him and up to the door. "What are you doing here?" he asked as he checked the other out discreetly. Naruto juggled the bag so he could unlock the door. He hadn't seen the other in quite some time and parting hadn't been on the best terms. A lot had changed. The raven's shoulders had gotten broader, his jawline was more defined and his face more narrow. He'd lost all of his baby fat. Not that Naruto noticed.

Sasuke helped Naruto with his bags as he struggled. "Deputy Uchiha," Sasuke corrected. "I'm here in my official capacity," he reminded and walked into Naruto's house once the door was open. He set the bags down in the kitchen and looked at back at Naruto.

He couldn't see him as being the murderer, but he had to be objective. He had to ask the right questions and examine every answer. He looked over Naruto. He sure had changed. He was taller and his face slightly thinner, but thicker in his torso. Sasuke told himself the fur just didn't match. It wasn't Naruto's hair, but he was curious about his foxes, if he still kept them.

Naruto snorted at the title and the tone as he walked in and went to the kitchen to put everything away. He wouldn't have thought the Sasuke he used to know, who was so set on doing things his own way, would be a deputy one day. Of course the same could be said about him becoming a teacher.

"This 'bout those murders?" he asked as he emptied the bags and filled up the fridge. "There hasn't been a single person who hasn't brought that up to me in one way or another," he explained dismissively.

Sasuke looked over Naruto. "Yeah it is." He answered and walked up closer to the other as he leaned on the counter.

Personally, Naruto thought he was past getting treated like something that crawled out of the black lagoon, but suddenly, because of the mayor outing him and the business with his foxes, he was on the undesirables list again. He sighed as he finished putting things away and looked up at Sasuke.

Naruto leaned back against the counter with him. "So what do you want with me?" he asked quietly, almost in a purr.

"I need to see your wolves and for you to tell me what the people have been telling you." Sasuke said a lot kinder than he ever spoke to Naruto in the past. He took advantage of his angle to look over Naruto's ass and thighs. He looked up to his waist and then broad back. Sasuke wanted him. It was that easy.

Naruto looked at him. "Foxes," he corrected and stood up straight.

"Foxes, right," Sasuke said even though he knew perfectly well what they were. He still liked irritating Naruto. He got the cutest frown.

"I was just about to feed them actually if you'd like to come out back with me and watch," he said leaving out another door and didn't turn to see if Sasuke was following or not although he suspected he was. He got their food from a separate container he kept out back and went out the back door and opened a gate where a dozen or so foxes cued up to him. He turned behind him and showed a leaf of lettuce to Sasuke before feeding it to the foxes as well as fruits, berries and grains.

"Foxes are Omnivors, Sasuke," he said. "Deputy," he corrected looking back at him. "Their diet is veggies, grains, berries, milk, and meat on occasion, but I assure you it's not human," he said as he knelt amongst them. "and besides," he said as the raven joined him crouching amongst them, "do they really seem all that hostile?" he asked as a few kits licked at Sasuke's face and hands while yipping cutely and nuzzling into him. Naruto smiled and petted one.

Sasuke kneeled next to him and let the foxes play with him and lick at him. He rubbed their soft fur and looked at Naruto.

"This fence is new," Naruto said indicating the one around the foxes, "because a few of them have been picked off, I suspect by the same person or animal whose after your townsmen," he said.

Sasuke looked at the newly fixed patch and saw that it was far larger than a fox could make even on its hind legs. He stood up and walked towards the hole. He wanted to inspect it for possible clues.

"Do you have any of any other colors?" Sasuke asked as they were all orange and a burnt red color. He needed something dark brown.

Naruto shook his head. "I get a few white coats around the winter time and some light brown ones, but that's about it," he said and fed the rest, looking up to see Sasuke checking out the hole. He took the opportunity to drink up the eye candy. Sasuke looked pretty damn hot in uniform. His eyes ghosted over fair skin, looking to his neck where he saw the pulsing vein just under his ear and licked his lips unconsciously, but shook his head when he caught himself nearly panting. He cleared his throat and stood up. Naruto walked over to him and stood near him.

"I don't know what it was that chased it off, but it only took a few of them before leaving," he told him as he looked at the patch job. The rip went up past even Sasuke's head. He sighed. "As to what the townspeople are saying, you know how it goes," he said shrugging. "The local lore of beasts that come to terrorize the town around this time of year. Nothing I think that could help you," he said and sighed again. "It's cold," he said. "Want to go inside and warm up?" he asked him and tried to keep the suggestive note out of his voice.

Sasuke made a note of the food the foxes ate, the fence and the coats. He met Naruto's eyes and looked down at his lips and back to his blue eyes. "I came with you to avoid the old prejudices," Sasuke said as he followed Naruto inside after a nod. "I will need something before I leave," Sasuke said once they were inside. He knew it sounded suggestive, but so had Naruto's own question. He opened his dark coat and pulled it off once inside of the warm house.

Naruto stepped into the house and towards the living room. He liked the tone in Sasuke's voice. "And what's that Deputy?" he asked not looking back at him. He placed his hands on the back of the couch and turned back to face him. "Do you need to yank out a few hairs, search the house for contraband, maybe frisk me a little?" he asked casually.

Sasori arrived at Kisame Hoshigaki's home, which was near the lake, and knocked on his door. The air smelled cleaner there, so close to the water as it was, and he took a minute to admire the view while he waited for Kisame to answer.

Kisame heard a knock and looked up. Nobody ever came to see him. It was his vacation spot and nobody knew he owned property out of the town of Mist. He stood up from his lure making station and walked with heavy footsteps towards the door. He peeked through the window and saw a redhead that looked faintly familiar. He opened the door at last and stood still. He still had his magnifying glasses, which made his eyes look large and fish like, on. He was in a long sleeve grey shirt that was rolled up to his elbows. He stood staring at Sasori silently, barefoot and in shorts he only wore indoors.

Sasori rubbed his shoulders and saw his breath in the air. It was getting chilly. When Kisame came to the door however it may as well have been summer for how fast he felt the temperature rise. He told himself it was the cold that had brought a flush to his cheeks and not the other's well toned body. When he saw the magnifying glasses though he had to stop himself from almost laughing.

"Kisame Hoshigaki?" he asked. "I'm deputy Sasori, I'm with the Konoha police department. Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?" he asked him.

Kisame pushed up his glasses and then removed them. "Come in," Kisame said as he had no intention of going outside anymore.

Sasori nodded and stepped inside without saying why he was there.

Kisame shut the door behind Sasori and led him to the living room. The couch was of a warm soft material and the throw over the back was thick and blue to contrast with the brown couch. The fire was roaring and heat was radiating from it. Kisame wanted to tell Sasori he recognized him, but didn't say it, as it seemed like whatever it was Sasori had to say, was important.

Sasori inhaled the warm air, glad for the fire. He was busy examining the surrounding and nearly startled as he heard Kisame speak again.

"Something to drink?" Kisame asked as he walked past the living room right into the dining room, where he had his lures. He brought back his mug of hot chocolate and set it down.

"No thank you," Sasori replied to Kisame politely as he took a seat on the warm couch and warmed himself by the flames. He turned to Kisame when he came back. It sure had been a while since he seen him. "Well, Mr. Hoshigaki, I don't think I need to inform you of the past couple months in which a few attacks have taken the lives of a few townsmen," he coaxed.

Kisame took a seat next to Sasori and leaned back to get comfortable. "I heard," he said simply and looked over Sasori's uniform and then stopped at the red hair.

Sasori nodded. "Well, they've traced to the attacks to some sort of animal attack and due to your occupation and your affinity for carnivorous marine life, you've been labeled a possible suspect," he told him.

"Know that you aren't the only one though and this is merely in the name of ruling out all the possibilities, so can you tell me your whereabouts last night?" he asked him. Kisame didn't seem like a psycho killer and the attacks had occurred on land whereas Kisame dealt mostly with fish, but they were truly only ruling out all the possibilities.

Kisame laughed, but didn't kick Sasori out immediately. "Fishing," he said and looked over Sasori again. "Where were you last night?" Kisame asked flirtatiously. "Your boyfriend's house?" Kisame asked openly. He didn't have to deal with the repercussions of possibly being gay or bisexual as an unknown who only passed through Konoha a few months a year.

Sasori was taken aback and cleared his throat. "Um, I, myself, was pulling a double and please don't avoid the question," he said. It had caught him off guard, but he figured Kisame had to be joking. For one, he just didn't picture him as that type of guy. "And no I don't have a boyfriend," he said getting out a notepad to jot down notes. "Anyone to verify you were fishing? A loved one or a spouse?" he asked casually.

Kisame turned to face Sasori. He was interested in the news and now the place the questions were heading. "No. I'm all alone," Kisame said and motioned to the rest of the house. "You're welcome to check the rest of the rooms," he said and stood up.

Kisame finished his mug of hot chocolate and waited for Sasori to stand. "I may be hiding a body somewhere. That's why you're here right?" he asked rhetorically and walked towards the hallway, where there were two doors one to the bathroom and another to his bedroom.

Sasori nodded. "In a matter of speaking," he muttered as he stood up and followed Kisame to a few doors and went to one on the right, walking in first while Kisame held the door open for him. It was a bedroom. He looked back at him just when the other was closing the door behind him and didn't object. In fact the act gave him tingles. He looked back around the room and looked to Kisame's bed. "Nice size bed," he noted casually as he looked around.

The cottage Kiba lived in was nestled deep into the forest, so set in its hedges and trees that it seemed a part of the forest itself. Shino walked up to the door and didn't know why, but he fixed his hair and his jacket before knocking.

Kiba was kneeling behind the house. He was on the cold ground with a large net and a pair of scissors and some thick twine. He was fixing a large rip on it and meant to tie it over the fencing around the dogs' corral. It would give them some added security. He was so busy with his work that he didn't hear the knock at the front door.

Kiba tugged the ear flaps on his hat down. He was cold and it seemed like the day would only get colder. He still had some wood to chop to replenish his stock, but the dogs were his first priority. They were loose currently and in the woods where they liked to run. They'd yet to announce his guest due to their distance.

Shino got no answer and knocked again. He waited for a good two minutes and still no one came. He sighed and saw his breath come up in a puff of white in the cold. He walked around and peeked into the windows and saw no one inside. He hummed and walked around the small house. He paused when he came upon a group of dogs who growled upon seeing him.

Kiba turned his head automatically towards the sound. He knew his dogs and their growls. They were nervous and apprehensive, but protective of their territory. It was somebody they didn't know and likely just there to buy some meat off of him.

Kiba stood up and set his work down before heading around the side of his home. Kiba approached the familiar looking man cautiously. He gave his dogs a quick shrill whistle that usually meant for them to line up, which they did immediately, but they were still on edge, ready for a second command.

Shino had started to back away from the dogs when Kiba appeared, calling them off. He noted how very quickly the dogs response time was and how obedient they were. If they did attack anyone, he wondered what could've happened that set them off, and if not, could Kiba have given them a command to attack?

"Hello," he said with a nod. "My name is Shino Aburame," he said walking forward. "I'm an Inspector from the city and I've been assigned the case of the recent attacks by the Mayor," he said and outstretched his hand. "She asked that I come and talk with you," he said.

Kiba shook Shino's hand. "Kiba Inuzuka," he said even though the other probably already knew that. "How can I help you?" he asked, but didn't let the dogs leave yet. He wasn't sure if everything the man was saying was true.

Shino nodded. "We've linked the recent attacks to some sort of animal. Bite marks indicate something along the canine family," he said looking at Kiba's dogs as he said so.

He noted their coats which varied in color. Any one of them could possibly be the hostile one and even Kiba's own hair seemed a similar hue. "As a result I'd like for you to account for the whereabouts of your dogs," he said politely, "and has there ever been a situation where they were out of your sight?" he asked him patiently.

Kiba frowned at the hidden accusation again against his dogs. He motioned to the front. "Wait for me at the front door," he said and whistled a different command to his dogs. They all followed him into the backyard. There he opened their gate and let them all in. He closed and locked it before heading inside with his net and his tools to continue working.

Kiba walked to the front and kicked his heels at the door to leave the dirt behind. The house was as cold as the outside and everything was covered in pelts.

"Come in." He said then and looked over Shino again. He was still alluring and if it hadn't been for his question about his dogs he would have been all over him; as it was his blood was rushing through his veins and he desperately wanted to act on his first instinct.

He wanted to pin Shino and maul his neck down to his- Kiba shook his head. "Come in," he said again and didn't remove his jacket. He tossed in a few logs into the fireplace, noted that he would need more before the next day, and then knelt down to start the fire.

Shino nodded and followed him inside, casting another glance at his dogs and hummed in thought. He walked in and looked around the house. It was very cozy and he shifted in his jacket as he felt himself warming. He looked back at Kiba in time to see him kneeling over the fire and got a good look at his backside, strong back and thick thighs.

Shino visibly shuddered. "Cold," he explained to Kiba when the other looked back at him. It was a lie, in fact it was suddenly rather warm in a sense, but he didn't think it was the result of the newly kindled fire. He walked up and sat on the couch.

"Know, Mr. Inuzuka, that this is merely protocol and you are not the only suspect," he saw fit to inform him. He didn't usually feel the need to 'reassure' a suspect of anything, but felt he had to now.

"Even if you check out, I might request your help in this instance as it would be in your field of expertise, but we must take precautions given the severity of the crimes," he told him. He really needed to stop reassuring him. He took out his notepad. "So about your dogs," he coaxed.

Kiba nodded and moved towards Shino when the fire was lit. "What about them?" Kiba asked and sounded a little less upset then as he calmed down with the warmth of the fire. There was no other light, but the orange glow of the fire and that was enough for him.

Shino took a breath. "Have they ever been hostile or out of your line of view within the past couple months for a long period of time. I would also like to inquire as to their diets," he said. "They seem to respect you quite a great deal," he said now.

Kiba shook his head immediately. "They are always around me. I place them in their corral after hours," he guaranteed. "They eat wild game and vegetables when we've got them, but mostly rabbits and other things like that. They've never bitten a single person," Kiba assured him and licked his lips.

Shino nodded. "So no record of any violence," he said and marked that down. "and you Mr. Inuzuka, do you have any history of violence?" he asked him. "Any quarrels with anyone in town?" he added. "These are just standard questions," he reassured him again.

Kiba shook his head once and then twice. "There is no record of violence," he said and then it came to him; he was lying, but quickly corrected himself. "I've had a few disagreements," he said.

Shino looked up when he confessed he wasn't perfect, which in his opinion he didn't necessarily agree with, the man had the perfect body and face and tan. He snapped out of it. "Go on," he said sitting up straight and gesturing for him to continue.

Kiba thought back to the fights. "Mostly over prices of the meat I sell," he said. "Some don't agree with the prices and they want to argue. They think I'm taking advantage or sometimes they just don't like me. When things go missing sometimes they blame me because I live out here and they think I couldn't afford town goods," Kiba said although it was obviously not the case. His job afforded him more than he needed so he kept the extra in cans under the sink that were ever piling up.

Shino nodded. It seemed like a perfectly normal dispute and not one that would warrant a killing spree. "So none of these fights ever came to blows?" he asked and took note of Kiba's mannerisms, studying him closely while telling himself it was for the investigation and no personal mission to memorize his features or the way he held himself.

Kiba was nicely tanned though, and he had to wonder if he was tanned everywhere. He swallowed thickly as he imagined pushing down the band of his pants enough to see a happy trail that led to more thoughts of what he might taste like and he looked up at Kiba. "Sorry what was that?" he asked as he hadn't heard what he'd said.

Kiba smiled. "I said it's hot." He said and removed his jacket, then his sweater, which partially pulled up his shirt. He fixed his undershirt and then his pants. "Would you like a drink?" he asked. "And only two ever became physical," Kiba answer as he walked to his small kitchen, so Shino would know he wasn't avoiding the question.

Shino nodded. "Oh," he said and smiled. "Sure, it doesn't matter what, just something cold please," he said as he took off his own jacket and relaxed on the sofa as he waited for Kiba to get back. "And you say your dogs have never harmed a human?" he asked from where he was as he looked around the living room. He took in the small details. There were no pictures. Everything had an animal theme and a hunting edge to it. Kiba was obviously more at home in the wilderness. "Yet they seem pretty territorial," he pointed out.

Kiba returned with two glasses of water. He set one down for Shino and the other was already half empty. He took a seat again, this time next to Shino on the couch. "They obey me and would never harm a person unless provoked and they were trying to protect themselves," Kiba said. It was the truth even if it sounded slightly bad for their case.

Shino nodded. "I see," he said and looked back down at his notepad. "So they would be capable of hurting someone if the situation dictated it," he recapped and wrote it down. "Although you said yourself that kind of thing hadn't ever presented itself am I right?" he pointed out and took a sip of his water.

Now that Kiba's sweater was off, it was harder to ignore his muscles. He was thankful for the cold water. It was quite a predicament. Normally he could always perfectly organize his priorities. He was a suspect, that meant no attraction should be there. That was the way he operated, but it was harder with Kiba. He didn't know what it was about the other, but he couldn't stop seeing him as other. What was worse, he was starting to really hope the murderer wasn't Kiba. He knew what those kind of thoughts led too. Soon he'd be starting to make excuses for him. He looked away. Maybe if he didn't look at him, it'd be easier to think.

"Do you have any idea as to what may be causing the attacks? Any of your own theories? This type of thing is in your field after all," he pointed out calmly taking another sip.

"They could be. They're capable, but that would never happen unless provoked and I doubt Anko would bother any of my dogs to that far degree," he said.

Kiba stood when he expressed his opinion. "A few ideas come to mind actually," He said and pushed the table out of the way with their water. "Stand please so I can tell you what I was thinking," Kiba said and felt confidence surge in him as it was definitely in his area of expertise.

Shino nodded and stood as directed. "Like this?" he asked him standing in front of him.

"Yes perfect," Kiba said and stood before him. "Whatever attacked these women, according to Tsunade, had to have a mouth that would reach about this far." Kiba gripped Shino's neck with his fingers acting as the 'teeth' and felt the other's heart race.

Kiba got close and leaned his head to the side "This is far too wide a jaw for a regular dog. Even my wolves couldn't stretch that far unless they meant to dislocate something. So while likely canine it's something far larger," Kiba said and pushed Shino down to the floor with ease.

"For example...," he continued and slowly went through his theory and ideas all the while leaning over Shino and positioning himself in the 'attack' position during all of the scenarios.

Shino had stopped listening after Kiba laid his hands on his neck. He wasn't looking at him, although behind his glasses you wouldn't be able to tell, but he wasn't. He was looking at the ceiling, but it didn't matter. Kiba's touch was like fire and his eyes nearly rolled back when he set him on the ground and leaned over him. He was suddenly hyper aware of Kiba's cologne, if he wore it, or maybe it was just the scent of Kiba. He tried to take a breath to calm himself but Shino only managed to inhale his scent and that did have his eyes rolling back.

"For example what?" he asked when his mind finally caught up with his body. He could feel the heat from Kiba's body and his mouth suddenly went dry and he licked his dry lips to moisten them.

Kiba gave a slight smirk. Something in him was stirring. His body was getting hotter by the second. He looked down at how vulnerable Shino looked. A slightly growl escaped him and Kiba released Shino before he did something he might regret. "You should leave detective," Kiba said low and gruff. "Now," he said and licked the sharp edges of his pointed cuspids. It had become a habit as of late.

"A bit of all of that," Sasuke replied and placed his coat near Naruto. He walked up to him and reached out to touch his hips first. "I'll frisk you first," he said and touched him up his chest and to his neck. Sasuke touched up to Naruto's jaw and then down to his shoulders. He stepped very close to Naruto until he could feel his body heat against him.

He touched Naruto down to his wrists even though there was obviously nothing to frisk. He felt back down to Naruto's waist and down his back. He gripped Naruto's ass and squeezed him tight then pulled him flush against his own hips. "Now I need to search your home," Sasuke said and pulled his hands away. "Show me your bedroom first," Sasuke ordered in a husky tone with all casual tone lost.

Naruto shivered under Sasuke's touch, his breath hitching and humming low in his throat when Sasuke squeezed him. He missed his touch immediately when he pulled his hands away. Naruto nodded at the command and took his hand, pulling him and leading him towards his room.

He opened the door and pulled him in, shutting it behind him and kissed him and moaned into his mouth. He licked the roof of Sasuke's mouth and walked backwards towards the bed. He felt up Sasuke's chest and down to his hips and moaned when his fingers encircled his handcuffs.

Naruto flipped him over until he was straddling him and jingled the cuffs. "I believe I've just assaulted an officer," he purred and attacked his neck. "You should probably cuff me," he said as he ground down against him.

Sasuke took the cuffs. "You sure did," he said and moaned while handcuffing Naruto to the bed post. He pulled off his clothes and climbed over Naruto in his boxers. He undressed Naruto and kissed down his chest. "I need some samples," Sasuke said and sucked back up Naruto's chest, leaving marks behind. "A few," Sasuke corrected and didn't question how he ended up in that situation. He simply enjoyed every aspect of it.

Naruto moaned as Sasuke kissed down his chest and bucked when the other started to leave marks. "Right," he agreed huskily. "You'll have to be very thorough," he said when Sasuke started to drift down further. "I'm looking forward to the cavity search," he said.

Sasuke growled. "I am too," he said and spread Naruto's legs wide. He squeezed Naruto's erection and milked it until it was nearly purple. "Sample one," Sasuke said and dipped his head down to take Naruto into his mouth.

He sucked on him and tasted every part of him down to his toes. Sasuke came back up to Naruto's balls and pulled them up. His own erection jumped at the sight. Naruto was clenching and unclenching and whether purposely or not Sasuke was intrigued. He kicked off his boxers and kneeled up as he stroked himself to the tip and back to the root amongst the dark thatch of hair. "Ready for the search?" Sasuke asked Naruto.

Naruto moaned and bucked as Sasuke touched and kissed him. He was achingly hard and dying to do something about it. He bit his lip as Sasuke stroked himself and saw he was equally hard and nodded, pulling on the cuffs. "Ready," he said huskily.

Sasuke leaned over Naruto and kissed him. He tasting his mouth and then his tongue. He pulled back and positioned himself between Naruto's legs. "Tell me the truth," Sasuke said and inched his way into Naruto's tight hole. "Did you kill or your foxes have anything to do with the murders?" he asked mostly to distract Naruto as he entered him. He already knew Naruto was innocent. The foxes' jaws and teeth were way too small and their bodies too small as well to take on somebody like Anko and still manage to get so much damage in.

Naruto snorted. "Yeah I masquerade as a psycho killer at night. It's this little thing I do to take the edge off and my foxes are my minions who do my biddin-Ah!" he yelped and exhaled harshly when Sasuke pressed in. "No," he said through clenched teeth. "Of course not," he said and leaned up to claim Sasuke's lips and the taste of him helped him relax.

Sasuke kissed Naruto hard. It was all bites and scratches. He had so many emotions pent up for Naruto. He pulled back and eased in the last centimeter into him. Sasuke stilled and gasped for breath. "You can masquerade for me any time," Sasuke said and pulled out slowly. He pushed back in with a measured pace and once more leaned forward to capture his lips.

Naruto's breath was ragged as he kissed Sasuke heatedly. He pulled his hips back slowly while he bit down on Sasuke's bottom lip and whimpered at the feeling. He tugged on his cuffs as he moved back onto him slowly. He couldn't wait. He wanted it to feel good already. "Sasuke," he breathed his name needily. "Move," he told him and moved to bite down on his neck.

Sasuke sped up at the command. He groped at Naruto's side. "Were you always this hot?" he asked and lifted Naruto up to sitting. He gripped the curtain behind him and gripped it hard. Sasuke thrust up into Naruto and panted with every move. He ripped the curtains down with the force of his grip and reached for the window sill next. "Hope your house is sturdy," Sasuke said with his signature smirk which was only a little less menacing with his hair all mussed and sweat running down his neck and chest.

Naruto groaned as he was lifted on Sasuke's lap and shivered at that damn smirk. He moaned loudly as Sasuke thrust up into him and it was hard with his arms still cuffed to the bedpost. "I'm kind of just hoping my bed is sturdy," he managed and apparently it wasn't.

When Sasuke brushed against something inside him that made him tighten his legs around Sasuke's waist and yell out his name, he tugged on the cuffs and broke the bed post. Now with his hands free, he wrapped the chain behind Sasuke's head and pulled him close into another kiss.

"There, Sasuke, again!" he pleaded and buried his head into Sasuke's neck as the other complied and he sobbed. "Fuck, were you always this sexy?" he asked him back.

Sasuke purred near his ear. "I was," he answered cockily. He struck Naruto's prostate over and over once he'd found it. He kissed Naruto's neck and felt up his sides needily. "We should have done this a long time ago," Sasuke said between a series of groans. He was close and Naruto was clenching hard.

Naruto groaned wantonly as he let his head fall back. "All t-those fights seem really really i-insignificant now," he managed between moans and tugged on Sasuke's hair as his legs tightened their hold on Sasuke's waist, holding the other to him in an attempt to bury him deeper. "Shit, Sasuke," he groaned. "I'm gonna come," he sobbed.

Sasuke gripped Naruto's ass and spread him with each thrust he gave. He canted his hips forward and felt his own orgasm approaching. He also wondered about those fights. "It was all sexual tension," Sasuke explained and finally let go and gasped out Naruto's name. "I'm coming in you!" he said out of breath and lifted Naruto just enough to make his last thrust the deepest.

Naruto yelled out loudly and stilled over Sasuke as his legs shook at the final deep thrust. "Oh good God!" he groaned as his muscles relaxed at once in the aftermath of his orgasm and he melted against Sasuke, panting like he'd run a mile. He shivered when he felt Sasuke filling him up and hummed, pleased.

"It's so warm," he muttered in surprise and kissed the side of Sasuke's sweaty neck. "So just to get this out of the way, does this mean I'm not a suspect?" he joked breathlessly.

Sasuke kissed Naruto and pulled out slowly. "Off the record you're no longer a suspect, but officially I may have to continue my own investigation," Sasuke said and started to get dressed again.

Naruto stood on his knees and pulled Sasuke back to him by the loops of his pants and kissed him again. "Be a little late," he said and kissed him long and slow, moving his hands down to palm him until he felt an answering hardness. He moaned against his lips. "Just a little," he said and slowly guided Sasuke back down on the bed and straddled him.

Sasuke sat back on the bed and looked up at Naruto. He pulled him down for a kiss and let it continue far longer than he should have. "I have to go. There's a meeting I have to get to," Sasuke said, but he didn't sound all that enthused to go. He knew he was going to be late when Naruto ground his hips down more convincingly than any argument Jiraiya could have presented him.

Naruto slid Sasuke's pants down and once again they were discarded onto the floor and returned to straddle him. He hummed as he leaned down to kiss him again. Naruto reached between his legs and gripped Sasuke and rubbed him between his own cheeks teasingly.

"You could just say I resisted arrest and you had to get a little rough with me," he said huskily and moaned in his ear as he lowered himself down on Sasuke, but only so that the head had breached his hole and bobbed back on it.

Sasuke groaned and nodded to whatever Naruto was saying. It felt far too good to be anything bad. "More, Naruto," he said and pushed his hair back. "A little more," he said and resisted thrusting up into Naruto as he obviously wanted to play some with him.

Naruto moaned and rocked back on him. Without warning he sped up considerably, slamming himself down on Sasuke and sobbed as he bounced on him. "How's that for more," he moaned. Just as quickly he stopped and pulled himself up to bob on the head again at a tormentingly slow pace. He leaned down to take Sasuke's dusty pink nipple into his mouth and rolled it between his teeth while he tweaked the other one with his fingers.

Sasuke gasped. "Oh God!" He squeezed his eyes shut and sobbed when Naruto slowed down again. He raised his chest encouragingly towards Naruto. "Come on. Come on," he mumbled repeatedly. "Torture," Sasuke said. "This is torture," he said and pulled Naruto up for a kiss and started thrusting up into Naruto as they kissed.

Naruto moaned into the kiss and lifted himself off of Sasuke completely and heard the other hiss at the naturally cold air. He pulled away and moved back, steadily kissing Sasuke down his chest, sucking on his nipples then trailing bites down his abs. He dipped his tongue into his navel and drew patterns with the slick muscle in the coarse dark pubic hairs.

He pushed apart Sasuke's thighs wider and licked from his taint, to his balls, and along the underside of his reddened dick. Naruto twirled his tongue along the vein there and sucked on it as if to leave a hickey and kissed up to the tip. He stroked Sasuke's thighs as he hovered his mouth over the dripping head and breathed hot air on the raven, without letting his lips touch the sensitive skin of Sasuke's cock. He watched as the raven's member twitched and flicked his tongue along the slit, catching the precome beading from the top.

"Want me to suck you off?" Naruto asked huskily.

Kisame locked the door when Sasori started looking around. He undid the buttons on his shirt one by one. "You should look through the closet," Kisame suggested and dropped his shirt.

Sasori did so, pretending to not see that Kisame was undoing his clothes as he went to look through the closet.

Kisame walked up behind Sasori and when the other was facing the closet and hugged him from behind. "You aren't very smart Mr. Deputy," Kisame teased. "You came without back up into the house of a possible murderer," he said with a deep voice.

He bit on Sasori's neck and then nibbled on his ear. "I could do the same to you," he said and started undoing Sasori's uniform.

Sasori stilled when he felt the other wrap his arms around him and melted as the other started to undress him. He worked his hands behind him to fondle Kisame through his pants. "I think I can handle it," he said huskily and moaned when Kisame bit his neck. Saosori helped him with his belt which was harder to undo than a normal one.

Kisame thrust into Sasori's hand. "Do you really think so?" Kisame asked after the belt had been opened. He pushed down Sasori's pants and underwear. Kisame then began on his own pants.

"I do," Sasori breathed as his pants came down and he helped Kisame with his own. Once they were he dropped to his knees and took him into his mouth, having to pull away to take another breath before he could get him all down and sucked hard.

Kisame grunted satisfied with Sasori's mouth. He pressed his large hand behind Sasori's head and rubbed his hair and head as the other sucked. Kisame pulled Sasori back with him so his mouth wouldn't leave his cock and he could sit on the edge of the bed.

Sasori followed after him, bobbing his head and pulling away with loud pops, nipping at the head of Kisame's erection.

Kisame pulled his feet out of his clothes and leaned back completely naked. Kisame rubbed one hand through Sasori's hair and let the other continue.

Sasori took him all the way down again until he was hitting the back of his throat and swallowed, pulling away with a gasp.

"I like how you work, Deputy." Kisame said gruffly.

Sasori kissed up his chest then. "You don't seem very much like a killer," purred. "Maybe I should take my business elsewhere," he challenged.

Kisame pulled Sasori up fast and pressed him face down on the bed. "How would a killer act in this situation?" he growled near Sasori's ear. "Would he plunder you without preparing you? Would he tie you up and take you against your will? Or would he hold something you hold dear hostage and force you to do all the work yourself?" Kisame slowly backed off of Sasori.

"Deputy, if you want to live past this meeting then ride me," he said and laid on his back. He reached for the side table and pulled out a hunting knife he kept close. "Ride me or else," he said with a glint in his eyes.

Sasori eyed the knife and snorted. He leaned forward and licked the blade. What was life without a little danger? He wouldn't have opted to be a deputy otherwise. He kept his eyes on Kisame as he swiped his tongue along the sharp blade. He raised himself up over him, positioning the other at his entrance.

"Put that away before you hurt yourself," he taunted before he sat down on him fast and clenched his eyes shut and gritted his teeth through the pain as he groaned.

Kisame moaned at the sight of Sasori's tongue caressing his knife. Kisame watched entertained, but was caught by surprise. He gripped the knife tighter as Sasori sat down. He shut his eyes hard until he saw white and then clenched his teeth as he groaned in pleasure.

Kisame opened his eyes and blinked away the dancing black spots. He threw the knife straight at the door and landed dead center. With his hands free he moved them down to Sasori's hips.

"You're mighty brave, Deputy," Kisame said in the same line of teasing and took Sasori's deflated cock in his hand to will it back to hardness. He spit in his hand a few times and roughly tugged and rubbed the head. It slowly filled and with each stroke Kisame felt him getting harder. Kisame licked his hand one last time and began to stroke the Sasori steadily.

Sasori groaned and threw his head back as Kisame stroked him. "Shit," he breathed as his erection was brought back to life and he placed his hands on Kisame's hard chest. He raised himself up and knocked Kisame's hand away. "Enough," he said and lowered himself back down fluidly.

Kisame pulled his hands away and watched Sasori move. It was an energy that warmed the room better than any fire ever could.

Sasori leaned down to kiss Kisame hard. "You're mighty big Kisame," he purred and started to move over him.

Kisame chuckled a deep rumble at the compliment. He kissed Sasori and savored his mouth for a few minutes before pulling back. "I'm surprised you can take it," he said as Sasori rode him smoothly and without complaining like others in the past had.

Sasori smiled down at him as he rode him, his breath a little fast. "You're not that big," he challenged and knew it seemed to anger the other as Kisame gave a hard thrust up that bounced him in retaliation. "Ah!" he yelled out when his prostate was struck. "Fuck, do that again," he said as it had sent tingles throughout his legs, up his back, and along his arms.

Kisame growled and hit it again and again. Almost brutally he shoved Sasori off of him and with his large hands easily flipped the smaller body over on his stomach and mounted him from behind. "I'll show you big," Kisame said ferally near Sasori's ear. "I can be a monster in bed, if you let me," Kisame warned in a whisper.

Sasori groaned as he was flipped over and a delicious shiver ran through his body at the promise. He rubbed back against Kisame. "Oh I'll let you," he said looking over his shoulder at him and caught the other's lip with his teeth. "I prefer the monster," he purred huskily. "I like it rough," he continued. "Show me what kind of man you really are," he said.

That was all Kisame needed to hear. He moved faster and deeper in Sasori. He gripped his slim hips in his large hands and held tight as he pounded into him. "Rough like this?" Kisame asked and gripped the back of Sasori's impossibly red hair in one hand then gave him a hard tug to hold him on place with his back slightly arched.

Sasori yelped in surprise as Kisame rammed into him and cried out his name with each murderous thrust. "Jesus Kisame!" he yelled and sobbed when the other yanked his hair back. He growled at the question. "I'm never going to believe you're dangerous if you keep taking it easy on me," he groaned and his body seemed to go haywire when Kisame thrust even harder and whimpered.

Sasori tried to thrust back to meet his thrusts but the pleasure erupting from the way Kisame was beautifully abusing his prostate turned his body and mind into putty, so he could do nothing but take the assault. He was glad Kisame lived in a secluded area where there were few neighbors as they could probably hear him. "Ah God!" he yelled loudly. To hell with it, what were they going to do? Call the police? "Oh God, I'm close Kisame!" he warned him.

Sasori was making the best sounds. Kisame was sure of it. He pulled out and quickly tugged back Sasori's hips so he was on his knees and instantly impaled once more.

Sasori shouted surprised. "Holy fuck! I'm coming!" he called as rammed himself back when he was impaled and came in spurts on Kisame's bed. He threw his head back and groaned wantonly as he blinked his vision back into his eyes. He grunted and moved back against Kisame so the other could finish. He saw the time then. "Shit," he cussed. He hated being late. He'd have to run all the way back to town.

Kisame chuckled huskily and stilled as Sasori moved back and forth on him. He watched the other stretch and take him in repeatedly. He wasn't that far and the erotic image was plenty to get him closer. Kisame leaned over and pinned Sasori down. "I'm coming in you," he growled and didn't let the other move as he shoved himself as deep as Sasori could take him to come inside of him.

"Shit!" Sasori cried and groaned as he felt Kisame coming in him. The spasms were coming quick and he could feel every little jump Kisame's fat cock gave. He panted as the other slowly pulled out and he hummed as he raised himself on his knees, his chest still to the mattress and rolled his hips, feeling the come spill out and slide down his thighs and shivered.

Kisame gripped Sasori's thighs and squeezed him in his hands. He spread him and watched more and more come fall out of him. "I have an alibi for the nights of those murders," Kisame said gruffly. He laid down next to Sasori, who looked spent. "I have an alibi for every night since I've been here actually," Kisame said. "I don't miss the poker games down at Ichiraku's Bar. I'm there every night. Today will be the first night in months that I'm not there by sundown," Kisame said and looked at Sasori. He traced the other's spine with his fingertip and kissed his shoulder like he would a lover's.

Sasori hummed and nodded, believing him. "I never really suspected you in the first place myself," he said and moved closer to trace his lips along Kisame's shoulder to his neck where he kissed him once more. "I don't think you would put so much effort into making me believe you were a bad guy if you truly were one," he said and kissed his jaw. "Although God knows you can be convincing when you want to be," he teased and looked at the time. He was so tired and would be content to spend the night there. "I need to go," he sighed, clearly not wanting to. "I'm late for a meeting," he said and sat back delaying.

Kisame chuckled and kissed Sasori's arm and jaw. "If you're already late, why not skip it all together?" Kisame asked and pulled Sasori close. It was getting cold in the room once more now that they were no longer moving. The fire in the living room wasn't nearly enough to reach the bedroom and the sweat on Kisame's skin was cooling quickly. He pulled up the blanket over his shoulders and Sasori's. "It'll be warm in here soon," Kisame said and hugged Sasori close to him.

Sasori let himself be pulled forward and shivered as he was warmed by Kisame and the covers. He hummed as he had a habit of doing. "They'll be suspicious, if I go to see a suspect and don't come back," he said but sounded sleepy. He wrapped his arms around Kisame and wormed his leg between Kisame's thighs comfortably. "I guess there's no point if I'm already late," he conceded without needing a counter argument, too comfortable to even think about moving. He kissed Kisame on the lips and let himself drift away. Before sleep took over he heard a wolf howl somewhere.

Jiraiya checked the time. The meeting was over and everybody had been dispatched to their areas. He assumed Shino, Sasuke and Sasori's investigations had gone longer than anticipated. He left a quick note for them on the temporary desk and left to his own post for the night.

---

Shino got up slowly, his eyes still on Kiba as the other backed away. He wanted him. He wanted to stay but he looked at the time. He'd be late if he didn't leave now and he got more than enough information. The problem was he hadn't gotten enough of Kiba. He backed towards the door. "I'll be in touch," he told him, grabbed his coat and left.

As soon as he was out of the door he took a calming breath. He could feel the hairs on the back of his neck standing up and he shivered although it wasn't as cold as it had been before. Night was falling though. He looked up at the sky where the moon could barely be seen by the onslaught of pink and purple clouds. He'd forgotten there was a blue moon tonight, the second full moon of the month. He ran his fingers through his hair frustratingly. He had a ways to go before he was back in town. He was going to be really late, if he hadn't missed the meeting already. He started to walk, knowing night would fall before he got back.

Kiba looked outside. The moon was rising and night was falling. He didn't have much time. He watched Shino's slim back retreat down the dirt path to town before he left his warm house. Kiba didn't know what to do about his problem. It wasn't something he could help. It was just the way he was born. Kiba looked up yet again and saw the full moon higher still; the second in the month.

Lucky, only for some.

Golden eyes could smell the scent of prey on the air and the beast growled as he traced the scent trail, moving in and out of the woods. The musky smell of love making attracted the beast. Prey was more vulnerable when in heat and numerous trails smelled delectable. One stood out to him and he moved low to the ground and spotted a brunette walking alone in the woods and stalked him.
