The sound of the camera flash is heard in the whole room, when a certain someone enters the room being greeted by her old friend, Kakashi Hatake.

"So, this is it?" she asks analyzing the scene alongside with the criminologists.

„Yeah, apparently he died yesterday, his neighbors began to suspect something."

„Give me the data" she demands lazily.

„Deidara, 24 years old, mercenary. He was arrested 3 times, one for drug possession, and the other two smuggling explosives."

„What about his background?"

„He was an orphan, but when he turned 16 he run away and joined a mercenary gang."

She nodded to the white haired man while looking at the corpse from the bed.

„What do you think?" the PI asks Kakashi still looking at the blonde young man now dead.

„The evidence lead us to believe is a suicide..."

„Wrong" turning her face to the detective she says with a cold tone.

„What?"

„This sure isn't a suicide."

„But everything that we have lead us to suicide" Kakashi explain with a calm yet demanding tone.

He was right, the clues lead him to believe it was a suicide; there was no proof of breaking in the apartment, nobody from the building saw somebody suspect enter in the apartment of their mercenary neighbor and nobody heard any signs of violence, all above there was not found any fingerprints or any type of violence on the victim. On the date of February 7 2013, Deidara, 24 years old was found dead with his throat cut and in the possession of a knife. Above his bed, on the wall was written the next sentence: "Art is a bang!" The case was classified as self harm/ suicide.

Then why would the PI think that it wasn't a suicide, rather a murder?

„Hikari, tell me why would you think is not a suicide?" Kakashi asks while he was following her.

„Give me a pair of gloves" the criminologist gives her a look, he's turning back to Kakashi which ensures him that she is an authorized person. The man gives Hikari the plastic pair of gloves and let her do as she wish.

Hikari is lying closer to the face of the victim analyzing it carefully. She prepares herself to touch the man face till the voice of Kakashi stops her.

„We didn't..."

„Well, that explains a lot" she says without letting Kakashi complete his sentence.

The criminologists, the agents and Kakashi look in shock as Hikari remove a USB stick from the victim's mouth.

„What the..." Kakashi was the first one to react at the shocking clue that was just now found.

„Somebody give me a towel, and a laptop" she demands coldly.

One of the agents rushes with a white towel, while another one is heading towards Hikari with a laptop. Before she inserts the USB inside the laptop she cleans it with the towel and after throws it alongside with the dirty gloves somewhere in the room.

The only folder that was on the USB contains couple pictures and a doc file. When the female detective opens the first picture the persons in the room gasp in shock as they watch the photos. It seems that not only the criminologists took pictures of the corps, but the maniac who did this too. Four photos of the young man before, in time and after the murder were took. Hikari close the last picture without showing any expression. The next file, the document took everyone by aback. The only thing wrote on the document was "THE" on the middle of the first page, the other 5 were all blank.

„What is this supposed to mean?" a man in the room asks revolted.

„I want a copy of this, and," Hikari handed the laptop to one of the agents as she turns to Kakashi.

„I want a detailed analysis of the cut from his mouth."

„Why?" Kakashi asks confused.

„I don't know, I just like giving orders" she responds slightly sarcastic at Kakashi's question before leaving the room with a lot of unanswered questions behind.

„We analysed the cut that was made in his mouth and there's nothing" the silver haired detective speaks while leading towards the main hall.

„Is there something suspicious about it?" the PI asks walking by Kakashi's side.

„I think being there in the first place is suspicious."

„He made it in the first place to put that USB without being too obvious. But he put it there for us to find it. There must be something more about this."

Suddenly Hikari stops, making Kakashi to turn around.

„Maybe he is testing us...He wants to see if we are „worthy"she suddenly says taking Kakashi by aback.

„Is that so..."he finally says looking in the opposite direction. „What kind of maniac would do that?"

„I actually think is pretty smart and interesting."

Kakashi looks at her in surprise, since that day she never saw something "interesting" let along "smart", but he was afraid to find a new side of Hikari, a side that should never be revealed.

„But of course he seems stuck in some kind of stupid ideology, and we have to teach him a lesson for that" Hikari explain with a small smirk on her face which made Kakashi afraid of what she may do next.

„I think you should slow down with this, you seem too fired up for this case," Kakashi says concerned.

„Calm down, I'm fine." she ensures him walking down the hall till she reached the main room of operation where she waited for Kakashi. He leads her to a room that says "Team 7", where are three more persons. Hikari gives Kakashi an questionable look waiting for an answer at her unasked question.

„They are my team" he respond when he sits at the head of the table and Hikari at the other one.

„Hope they're good for something" at the statement made by Hikari the three persons narrowed their eyes in the girl's direction making her raising her hands in defense.

„It was just a joke" she said unaffected by their glances. „Anyway, why am I here?" she asks looking around the room.

„I want you to meet them. This stupid looking blond is Naruto."

„Hey!" he jumps from his seat followed by everyone's glances. But he calms down by taking a more composed state and retaking his seat.

„This is Sakura" he gestures to the pink haired girl.

„Nice to meet you, miss" she says bowing her head.

„And this is Sasuke."

Hikari's expressionless eyes met Sasuke's, but after couple seconds Sasuke moves his glance elsewhere.

„And? Why would you think I want to meet you team? They are newbies, I can't work with them. They are useless for me."

„Who do you think you are to speak about us like that? You should shut your mouth! You know nothing about us!" Sasuke jumps from his chair and slammed his hands loud on the table.

Hikari just puts herself more comfortable on the chair and watches Sasuke's reaction.

„You know, I think this year's newbies are better than the previous ones" she sais casually looking in Kakashi's direction.

„I told you not to do that anymore" he gives out a small sigh before he scolds her.

„I just want to see what they are capable of."

„You could do that without doing this, you could actually see what they are capable of. I think about put them in this case."

„No, excluded. They are not ready for this kind of case, is a messed up case. Even you couldn't figure out it wasn't suicide."

„This isn't about me, this is about them!" he raises his voice but not too much.

„This is about you, because is your team and you should know their capability. If they are as good as you, I think we can make it without them, since we already have you."

And with that Hikari leaves the room.

„Who was that?" Sakura asks with a disgusted tone.

„My sister, and unfortunately the only one who could pull off this case."

The three detectives looked in shock at their master. How could she be better that Kakashi? That is what they thought, after all he is the best detective in Konoha. Then why she is the only one who could solve this case? Why Kakashi admitted that she is better than him? In truth, he admitted this years ago, when Hikari solved a case in just two days, a case that put Kakashi to the test for a week. He knew that since that day her motivation increased each and everyday. But he knew it was a curse too, that she had to support the loneliness she sent herself into. He knew that the day when she'll break will come, but he hoped that day will be far in the future.
