Hi everyone. As promised here is my new fic! Sorry that I didn't get to upload the epilogue of Exotic Lover as yet. I kinda fubared it. Now I have to type it over TT^TT. Anyway. It's my birthday so I'm going and lay in my bed and do absolutely nothing XD.

Don't forget to review! I like to know what you guys think! Anyway, on with the story.

SUMMARY:

A serial killer is plaguing the quiet town of Konoha and it's up to former FBI agent, and new Chief of Police Uzumaki Naruto to bring this sucker to justice. But what happens when the killer is someone near and dear to him?

Sleeping With The Enemy

Prologue

Silence.

Beautiful silence. It was always better when they didn't struggle. Always better when they resigned to their fates. There would be no unnecessary bloodshed, nor would the victim suffer… as much. Yes, silence was indeed golden.

Large teary eyes looked up pleadingly at the hooded figure before them. Small whimpers escaped quivering lips as the man came closer, walking, no, stalking as he sized up his prey. The only sound reaching his ears was the pounding of his heart, or was it the man's feet…

"This is for your own good." The hooded man said softly as he took a few more steps closer, "I'm going to set you free from this wretched existence."

~S.W.T.E~

"What do we have?" Tsunade asked as her second in command entered her office.

"There's been another murder, chief." Shizune replied as she took a seat in front of the chief of police's desk, "It was just called in. Gai and his squad are already on the scene."

"What exactly happened?" Tsunade asked as she fought back the urge to fling things around. She really hoped it wasn't what she thought it was.

"Same as the other ten I'm afraid. Male, prostitute… this time he was sixteen. Throat slit, heart taken as a trophy." Shizune felt bile rising up her throat. "We need to catch this guy… this makes it eleven murders in just nine months!"

"I know, he's a slippery bastard though. He leaves no evidence… not a fingerprint or a strand of hair." Tsunade glared down at her desk, "We're dealing with a pro here… a serial killer."

"What I'd like to know is his motive. Why is he killing these kids?" Shizune asked, "Why only these males?"

"That's how these serial killers work. They pick a specific target and they hunt whoever fits in the category. They're demented and the world needs to be rid of these inhumane bastards."

"Dr. Nara has been going over some old cases trying to see if he can find a pattern with past cases of serial killings." Shizune said as she got up, "He believes we're looking for a man in his thirties; a loner with a troubled past linked to prostitution. Dr. Nara thinks the man is under the impression that by killing these boys, he's doing them a favour… saving them."

"The last part is bullshit… not what Nara said, but what he thinks this man believes. The only way to help these boys is to get them off the streets and lock those pimps the hell up."

"So why don't we do this? Get the boys off the streets?"

"It's not that easy Shizune. The pimps are careful and so are the boys… you never know where their base of operations is, nor do you have a fix of where exactly the boys are turning tricks."

Tsunade let out an exasperated sigh as she opened a drawer, pulling out a folder. The usually beige manila folder was torn and darkened with age.

"I think we should call Sabaku Gaara." Tsunade said as she tentatively flipped through the folder before her.

"We haven't asked for Suna's help in years." Shizune replied, a surprised expression on her face.

"I know, but what the hell are we to do? We have our best men on this case and still nothing to show for it. The longer we fail the more teenage boys will end up dead!" Tsunade glared as the crime scene photos before her, "We need his help, after all he was the one who helped us convict those guys who murdered Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto three years ago…"

To be Continued…

A.N:

And that was the prologue. I know it was short but yea, I didn't want to drag a prologue on for too long. Anyway, have no fear. Chapter 1 will be up before you even finish reading this. XD
