"No! Get away from me, you're an evil man"!
"There's no way I'm evil… I'm a good boy, right mother? His voice was as deranged as his sea foam eyes. Eyes that were outlined in shadow's of many sleepless nights. He clutched a fistful of dull red hair and grinned crazily at the magenta eyed man backed against the brick wall.
"And you'll be a good boy to, or your blood will taste bad for my mother"…
Naruto Uzumaki sloshed his watery coffee in the white paper cup and loosened his collar with his free hand.
"Man I'm exhausted"… He yawned grumbling. His partner Sasuke Uchiha gave his trademark smirk to the sleepy blonde man to his right.
"It's your own fault, for staying out so late with Hinata". Naruto blushed at the mention of his girlfriend, the quiet nursery school teacher. Quickly he changed the subject.
"I didn't think we'd be assigned to a case, so early in the morning"…
"Serial killers don't wait for our awakening". The raven haired man sighed and massaged the back of his neck. He hadn't expected to get such an urgent call this early in the morning. The shrill of his cell phone ringing had awoken not only him, but his sleeping wife Sakura. She'd been quite alarmed he'd been called into work so early, but after reassurance he'd be home in time for dinner because he'd put in so much overtime. She kissed his cheek and then lay back on the blue sheets and her husband covered her once more with the thick white blanket the two shared.
Naruto and Sasuke had known each other through their early teens, only becoming good friends in their senior year of high school when both had decided to be detectives and get degrees in psychology. Later on in college, the two had become roommates in their dorm and shared many classes and became the best of friends throughout their years it took of studying for their psychology degree. After graduating, they enrolled in the police academy together and graduated at the age of twenty six. The same day they became rookie cops, the of evening of the celebratory party held by their girlfriends Sakura and Hinata that occurred later that evening, Sasuke had announced he had something very important to ask the pink haired woman. Naruto then ushered her to the front of the room and to Sasuke. The black haired man kneeled down and presented a ring to the green eyed woman and pledged his undying love to the one and only Sakura Haruno and asked her the question every woman wanted to hear. She of course said yes, and the two were married in the spring of next year under a cherry blossom tree with Naruto of course as the best man.
Now at the age of twenty eight and a climbing up the totem pole of grunt work from a street cop to his position now, he was happily married and living in a lovely home Sasuke had a sturdy job and Sakura was a successful pediatrician. The two often had Hinata and Naruto over for an evening of cheese and wine. Now he stood in the chief's office, the chief was also he and Naruto's close friend Shikamaru Nara. He was the same age as Naruto and Sasuke, but he was far more brilliant then most of the cops working on any part of the task force.
"Alright guys, this one pretty gruesome. Earlier a man named Kadota Hanachin was found brutally murdered in an alley way. Absolutely no evidence despite the fact his blood painted the walls six feet higher then where he was found. I want you two to investigate, and report back at me. Check the place thoroughly". He said while leaning back in his desk chair.
"Right, you got it chief" Sasuke said.
"We'll find that killer in a snap. Sasuke and I are just that good. By the way, Shikamaru how's Temari these days"? Shikamaru blushed faintly and swallowed, suddenly finding a stack of papers far more interesting than his two agents and friends. It was common knowledge around Konoha's police agency that Shikamaru Nara and Temari Suna-arashi was a very long term couple. They acted like a married couple, but everyone knew, especially the female members of the police agency that Shikamaru was scared that Temari would laugh at him during his proposal, after all Temari was not at all like most woman.
The red haired man sat in his studio apartment with the windows open despite the fact it was an unusually cold morning. The wind lifted and ruffled the thin long white curtains. The apartment was mostly empty, subtracting the mattress, stripped of blankets, sheets, or pillows, scattered newspapers, and a single chair facing the darkest corner of the room. He shuffled from the chair to the window, and looked outside from the open window.
"I know that mans blood wasn't very good… But I'll get you delicious blood very soon mother, very soon". Without even looking behind him, he threw a kunai knife with dead point accuracy. It hit the wall and paper with a slight thud. The blade embedded itself in the double image of two graduated detectives with happy lives.
"Uzumaki Naruto, and Uchiha Sasuke… Your blood will taste so very good for my dear and precious mother"…
