Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Warnings: It's an A/U story, and there might be some OOC details, but I tried my best to avoid OOC. Also, it will probably end up being SasuNaru.
Author's note: Since the prologue is so short, I'll put pretty much all the information here. ^.^
I'm new to FFs, so I'm really sorry about such a short prologue, I'll do my best to make other chapters longer, with more detail. Also, don't expect any big words, or complicated sentences, 'cause English isn't my mother language and I haven't really written much yet, so I need to get used to all the terms and etc. Hope you have a good time while reading this : ).
~I'm dedicating this story for my crazy ass, super smart and absolutely AWESOME Tora!'cause she is my one and only aunt-cousin-SN mommy, that I'd definitely pray for if she was a God.~
Prologue: 1st suspect.
'Chief, we have an emergency.' – I heard before the person talking almost fell into my office.
'Ino, how many times have I told you that there is no such thing as an emergency? People die…'
'Every minute of every day of every week. I know that. But when was the last time 3 people died from the same causes at the same place in a week?'
'The same valley again?' – I sighed. There was no end to it. Always serial killers, always at the wrong time, always changing my plans.
'Yes. But this time a woman was killed. Hyuuga Hinata.'
'How old was she?'
'Haku's age.'
'Bring me all the information about her that you can find. All of it. The list of her friends, classmates, relatives, crushes and etc. also, all of her personal stuff like diaries, books she reads. Everything. I want to know what she eats for breakfast. You have 4 hours. And bring Shikamaru here.' – I couldn't help myself – the moment I had the first peace of information, I needed more, and then I would start to order people around with no mercy. That's just the way I was.
'4 hours? But…'
'But nothing. You just wasted 10 seconds of our time. And time, in this case, can cost lives. Move.'
She finally nodded and went out with a pitiful expression on her face. I knew I was being cruel and gave her a job that she probably won't be able to do, but I had better (or worse) things to think about.
There was that one alley, in which we found a dead body last Thursday. Then another male body was found 2 days ago. And now they found a woman. A small change, but still a bother. At least the age was similar - all victims were 18-20 years old. And the causes were the same – half of their bones broken (the second body's left hand was found 10 meters away), puddles of blood everywhere. It was as if they were attacked by an animal, not a human. But somebody would notice a free animal running around. Unless somebody decided to let an animal kill people on purpose. But I really doubted that.
When my assistant came back 3 and a half hours afterwards, with a pile of papers in her hands, I was putting an empty sheet of paper on the wall in front of my office desk.
'Here it is. Hope you're happy now. And Shikamaru had some other business, he'll be coming soon.'
'Hn. So, you really made it? And to think I was ready to give you another hour for this one.'
'It seems that this victim was a really shy and unsocial one, so it was easy. There is a list of all the people in her school, including teachers. And there is also her diary, even thought it's not full.'
'Why isn't it full?' – I got mad. I hated not to have every evidence possible. Every last peace of it. Ino knew that more than very well and still didn't make it right.
'Her mother was going to burn it when we got there to get it. Some of the pages are impossible to read. But sure we'll be able to recreate them at the lab.' – She said quickly after she saw my facial expression.
'You better do.' – I mumbled under my breath.
She made a sigh and left just like I expected her to do. Not that I didn't like her as my assistant, I just couldn't work or think when there were people, besides Shikamaru, in the room. So when I was alone I started to read the information about our unsocial victim.
Lived with her parents and her cousin's family, was average at school, blah blah blah…
Just the usual babbling about lifestyle, family and grades. I didn't need that, so I started to read her diary, which was indeed pretty much burned.
August 25
Almost time for school. Can't wait to see…
September 3
School would suck so much, if I couldn't see him there. I wish he'd look at me more often. … is such a nice person he….
September 5
I know where he lives it's….. Followed him there after school, gotta have to do that again.
September 15
I think … me yesterday. Didn't see him today.
September 20
What if….
September 22
… I hope he doesn't ….. I don't know what I'd do then.
That was all I could get from the diary. But it was clear, that she was in love with some boy and she followed him everywhere. I still got a lot of information – the experts said that she must have died in September 23rd which means that there was a very big chance of him having something to do with her murder since September 22nd was the last date in her diary.
That's when Shikamaru came in. The man with a pony tail was my left hand (I held my right arm to myself). He was also probably the only person who didn't freak out when he had to say something against me (others would usually stay silent and let him do the hard work). And finally – he was a god damn genius. His IQ was higher than mine, but I was the boss, 'cause he was simply too lazy.
I gave him the Hyuuga's diary without a word, and he read it just as silently, then nodded and clarified the fact:
'Looks like we have our first suspect.'
I got up and wrote it on the empty sheet of paper which hung there on the wall innocently.
