Hey,

This is a Naruto fan fic inspired and based somewhat on the tv-series Bones. I'm not an anthropologist or a criminologist but I'll try to make this as believable as possible. I originally figured Sasuke as Bones but changed it to Naruto because it fit better, despite Sasuke and his genius label in the anime/manga =) I hope you'll be able to see them in these roles. And bare with me on the mix of these two shows. I'll hope it'll blend good.

Summary: Dr Naruto "Bones" Uzumaki is a forensic anthropologist working at the renowed Hokage Insitute in Konohagakure N.S, as well as a best selling crime novelist. Sasuke Uchiha is an ANBU Special Agent whom Uzumaki aids in his investigations involving human remains that cannot be identified without forensic anthropology.

Warnings: This story will contain graphic details, death, crime, drugs, crude language, nudity, sex (both straight and gay and whatever else I think of) hopefully humor and a lot more.

Disclaimer: I own neither Naruto or Bones.

Introduction

The airplane had been delayed two hours at the airport because the pilot had been replaced at the last minute due to some administrative issue the passengers weren't informed any further on. Luckily, or rather skillfully, the new pilot and his or her co-pilot had managed to fly at a faster speed than originally planned, making up for some of the lost time and thus landing at the Knonah only one hour and fourteen minutes behind schedule. The large plane touched down at the landing strip at Skyways Airport of Sunagakure and guided to the arrival gate.

The passengers grumpily shuffled out and through customs and dispersed in their chosen direction. Some searching for another gate to check in and continue on their travels to wherever, most of the passangers however found their way out through the exit to hail a cab or search for their cars at the large parking-lot just outside and below the main entrance. The large hall steadily filled with travelers arriving with the plane, shopkeepers straightened up in their small shops hoping customers in the others calm airport.

Dr. Naruto Uzumaki followed the main flow of people towards the main hall, carrying nothing more than a satchel, strapped across his chest and the brown leather rubbed against the side of his leg as he walked. The orange coat he wore stuck out as a sore thumb in the mass of dark colours around him, as did his blond hair in among a predominantly dark heads. They moved across the marble floor, sidled with large pillars reaching up to the high arched ceiling morphing into an impressive dome as they arrived at the large hall. The blond however missed this grand view as he was currently tracing blue eyes over the passing fossil remains in the marble ston of the floor. Trying to identify different plants or animals as they passed beneath his feet.

"Naruto, over here!"

The call caused him to pause, a person just behind him bumping into his side a the sudden stop before continuing on, blue eyes lifting from the floor in search of the caller. It didn't take him too long to spot the pink haired woman waving wildly at him from the sidelines before stomping over. He smiled and turned, almost causing another person to collide with him, meeting her half way and to the side of the hall only to be enveloped in a hard hug. Hugging the pink haired woman back he sighed in relief, more than happy he hadn't been forced to run around looking for his friend in the faintly citrus smelling airport any longer. It made his nose tickle.

"Sakura, I'm so glad you found me," he confessed as they both pulled back from each other, he unconsciously smoothed out any wrinkles that might have appeared as they hugged, shifting from one foot to the other as he glanced at a security guard passing by behind his friend while giving them a weird look. The dark skinned man narrowed his eyes briefly, pausing a few feet away by a waiting area.

"I've been waiting for a really long time now." Complained Sakura as she tugged at his arm and effectively brought his attention back to her, instantly forgetting the guard, and started in the direction of the exit.

"The plane was delayed, almost two hours." Naruto informed, letting himself be dragged to wherever his friend had parked her car or whatever other transportation she'd acquired. Though a car would be preferable to a bus or a bike, and also a lot faster. The glass doors swished open as they drew close and a breeze of cool air washed over his warm face, silently he wished he'd had less clothes on so that the air could cool down the rest of his body. It had been stuffy on the plane.

"I noticed that Naruto... and you could've called when they told you, you know, so I didn't have to loiter around this place for hours." She continued, sending him a half-hearted glare before letting go of his elbow, slowing down into a more reasonable pace. "No matter, at least you're back from those desert tombs now and back in Konoha. Tombs... Ugh."

"I would've called, except it was forbidden to use a cell phone after boarding." though some people had not cared about this and used their phones anyway, until the new pilot arrived to the plane and told them not to. Naruto hadn't though since it'd been forbidden, and being rule-abiding he hadn't called Sakura or even his ten a clock meeting to reschedule to later. Or maybe, truthfully, he'd been so wrapped up in reading through the reports he was to send to the Forensic Anthropologic Institute of USN, about his work in the discovered tombs, to be tempted to phone anyone. Or thinking of it. "It's good to be back, much cooler climate too, though I wish I could've spent some more time with the findings, there were so many interesting characteristics in the skeletal remains of the people who lived there Sakura. Over two thousand years old and the facial proportions didn't differ much from today's inhabitants of Sunagakure. As well as th…"

"Yes, yes, very nice Dr. Uzumaki" Sakura cut him off as they arrived to her pink two-door car "You know I'm about as interested in very old skeletal remains as I'm in playing scrabbles with my grandmother. And that is, not at all. Now get in."

Getting in, careful to pull off and place his satchel on his knees before he strapped in, he then turned to the pink haired woman as she pulled out of the parking spot. " Scrabble is a pleasant yet intelligent game you can enjoy with friends and family. In fact scrabble is one of the most known and enjoyed word games in more than 120 countries."

Sakura glanced over at him, smiling faintly "You don't say... but it doesn't change the fact that I don't like it. Not at all."

"No, it doesn't." Naruto agreed seriously, looking out the side window as they pulled out and onto the highway leading into the city, nodding once because his information didn't change that fact at all. "Ooh, can we stop for some ramen before we head to the institute?"

"Sure."

So that's the first chapter, just a short introduction. Like/dislike?

Well, the story has yet to get it on =)
