A/N: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters or the plot lines. Neither do I own 2 – minute mysteries (Which this plot line was slightly stolen from…except the crack…that's mine)

Sirens wailed in the distance as detective Uchiha Sasuke stepped out of his black Toyota Tundra and onto the scene. Treading carefully, he walked over to the bench where a young woman with a knife in her back lie just outside the local bowling alley. Out of the corner of his eye there was a flash of pink. Turning he caught a silhouette running around the corner of the building. Taking up chase Sasuke pulled out his gun and followed the person.

"Stop!" He shouted running faster. The person looked over their shoulder and turned down an ally. Cursing under his breath he continued on "Hey, New York Police! Stop!" He was catching up. Tackling the suspect he herd a grunt then pulling both arms behind their back they commenced screaming in a very feminine manner.

"Help! Rape! Murder! POOR YOUNG LADY BEING MOLESTED! HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPP!" Struggling to keep her down Sasuke shouted over her screaming.

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense." Sasuke's voice cut off. Seeming to know her situation the girl got quiet and quite struggling. Sasuke cuffed her wrists and helped the woman to her feet. As the woman turned to face him, Sasuke realized it was her hair that had attracted him earlier, a pale cotton candy pink. The woman was now glaring at him.

"So do I get an explanation for this? You think that just because you're an officer you can tackle me to the ground and ruin my brown cashmere sweater?" Huffing she rolled her eyes. "Officer, what is your name?"

Lifting an eye at this eccentric woman, Sasuke reluctantly responded "Uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha." Strait away the woman's mouth shot off again.

"Right, so Sasuke this is a huge misunderstanding, and I understand that since I was found red handed at the crime scene I'm the prime suspect. However, if you had noticed a red Beetle 2.0 pull up behind you, perhaps we wouldn't be having to waist time and I can get back on the trail before it turns cold." By now the pair had walked out of the ally, the woman miffed and Sasuke looking serious and concentrating.

Finally he spoke, "Why would you be heading out for the murderer?" Perking up at this the woman pulled herself up proudly.

"I, am Sakura Haruno. Renowned journalist, clothes connoisseur, bachlorette, and crime scene reporter."

"That doesn't explain why you're here."

"I enjoy listening to the police scanner to get leads before anyone else! This is my passion!"

"Killing people?" Sasuke watched Sakura's face turn cherry red with amusement.

"NO! Investigative journalism! –Hey that's and idea!" whirling around Sakura stared deep into Sasuke's eyes, "If I clear my name can I search the scenes without getting yelled at?" Sasuke pushed Sakura away from their previous nose touch.

"Just keep walking." He grunted. Soon they could see the flashing lights on top the police cruisers. A voice from behind shouted exuberantly and Sasuke's face turned from serious to highly annoyed.

"SAKURA!" A blonde blur swept past and tackled poor Sakura. "You have no idea how much I've missed you! How've you been? Why are you here? HANDCUFFED? ON THE GROUND!" Turning, the blonde glared at Sasuke. "Teme, how dare you put the kinky moves on Sakura-chan! Oh, woe is me! My poor Sakura-chan has gotten herself deflowered by the worst romantic in the world! Why?" (insert loud, dramatic sob) "WHY?" Sasuke rolled his eyes, he could care less about what was happening yet slightly confused on how his partner and Miss Haruno knew each other. On the other hand, Sakura seemed very pissed off and ready to commit murder.

"NARUTO! GET THE (insert long string of colorful French) OFF ME! And Sasuke….get back here with those keys!"

Back at the scene of the crime the newly arranged posse discussed the murder. "The lanes closed at midnight," Stated Sasuke, "a local policeman radioed me right away." Sakura, receiving a funny look from Sasuke stuck out her tongue and took over.

"I'd say she was dead about an hour before I was attacked by Mr. Know-It-All over here."

"Who was she?" piped Naruto getting uneasy about the tense atmosphere.

"Angela Layne. She just married Theo Layne, a merchant captain, before he sailed for Hawaii last week. Oh! And they have a small house on Sea Salt Avenue." Sakura looked up from the screen of her iPhone to find a skeptical Sasuke and a star struck Naruto.

"Where do you get all this information?" Naruto gasped like a fish out of water.

"I have many friends."

"Alright, any suspects?" growled Sasuke. No way was this girl gonna show him up.

"Skylar Barnett – maybe…Angela jilted him for Theo."

"Okay, so let's go visit Mr. Barnett."

"Hold on a minute," Sakura left and walked over to the door of the bowling ally and dropped a green pen. "Now we can go."

The suspect lived in a room behind the gasoline station he owned. Sasuke's first words were, "Do you know Angela has been murdered?"

"No!" gasped Barnett.

"Well that's enough for now," stated Sakura. Then as if in afterthought, she added, "I must have dropped my favorite pen by the front door of the lanes where we found the body –" looking at her watch she gasped, " – and I have to be in the city in half an hour! Would you mind getting the pen for me and return it to Detective Uchiha's office this morning?"

Barnett looked uncertain. He shrugged, "Sure."

The next day when he brought the pen to Sasuke's office he was arrested.

Naruto, being confused, looked at Sasuke who opened his mouth to explain, but was cut off by Sakura. "Barnett claimed he didn't know Angela Layne had just been murdered, he knew that my pen lay 'by the front door of the lanes'. If he were innocent Barnett would've looked for the pen at the front door of the Laynes – that is, at their house.

"Wow Sakura, that genius!" Naruto shouted. Sasuke just rolled his eyes and looked back at his report. Bested by a girl…no one should be allowed to hear of this.

"Sooo…are you going to keep up your end of the deal Sasuke?"

"Ms. Haruno, I agreed to no such thing."

"Come on teme, she helped solve the case…actually she did more than you!"

"No, that's final. Civilians – including reporters need to stay away from the scene of the crime."

A/N: So…not bad for being gone so long…Fav and Review please, also suggestions are highly sought after since I am always dying with lack of ideas (seeing as my mind is wracked with fic bunnies that I just can't seem to catch)
