AN: Sorry for not updating The Cherry Blossom of Team Hebi. I lost inspiration for it. As of right now, it is on HIATUS. IM SORRY!

Speaking.

Thoughts.

(Kakashi's POV)

I have been tracking my target for 3 years now. The one and only Sasuke Uchiha. The leader of a criminal organization known as Sharingan. I know he is the reason behind all the murders that have been going on in this city.

I arrived on scene of a double homicide. I knew by the signature that it was him. Sasuke always lets his victims run. All the shootings that were done by him have the victim in a way that you can tell they were trying (and failing) to run from him. Their faces always frozen in their pleading faces.

"Kakashi!" I look up to see my friend, and fellow cop, Genma. "Do you think the Uchiha did this?"

I nodded my head. It was so obvious to me now. But Sasuke is a pro. He doesn't let anything slip. Hard as I try, I know I won't be able to catch him until the day he messes up. And I don't know if that is going to happen.

"Kakashi!" I didn't even realize that Genma was trying to tell me something. "Surveillance found something I think you should see."

I quickly walked over to where Genma was standing with a short man with a camera.

"We believe we found the mystery girlfriend of Sasuke Uchiha. He made it public."

I stared closely at the girl. She had unusual pink hair and deep emerald eyes. She was beautiful.

"There is something else. The victims were seen flirting with this girl last night. A few hours before the murder. The Uchiha must really like her to be killing for her already."

I knew then it was time to go question the one and only Sasuke Uchiha.

"I'm going to pick him up for questioning. I'll handle all the questioning."

I found Sasuke in the usual spot. At the club his older brother owns. We also have suspected his older brother of multiple crimes.

"Let's go, Uchiha" I commanded. It's almost been a routine for us. I bring him in. He leaves 72 hours later. He and I both knew that this time wouldn't be any different. But I'm hoping I can use his new found weakness, Sakura Haruno, against him.

He smirked at me and got in the cruiser I brought to pick him up in.

"Hn"

When we reached the station, he walked in like he owned the place. He's been here so often that it's a regular occurrence. The police officers that work in interrogation know him. No one even sees him as a threat anymore, and that's what bugs me. They know as much as I do that he is not going to be brought to justice today. Maybe they think he won't ever be brought to justice. I hope he does, and I know I wont stop following up on these murders, until he is caught. (AN: Of course he isn't going to ignore all other murders, he has a heart you know.)

I brought him into interrogation room 3 and got straight down to business. This time I am going to make a little more personal approach.

"How has your life been Sasuke?" I started with simple basic questions before I made him really mad.

He narrowed his eyes. He recognized the different approach as well.

"Very good" He answered with caution.

"Really now. Did that have anything to do with a new girl in your life?" This is where I started the real interrogation.

He froze slightly and I realized that he had not intended this to come up during an interrogation. I also noticed how his eyes softened a tiny bit before he gained back his cold composure.

This might be easier then I thought. I finished the rest of the interrogation getting no real useful information. If his new play toy is anything like the other girls that he has interacted with, this is going to be easy peasy. She will break quickly and sell Sasuke out to get free themselves. I hope Sasuke gave her some kind of information.

(Time Skip)

I picked up Sakura Haruno with no difficulty. She was the only girl with pink hair going shopping down Fifth Avenue. (AN: Sorry for the interruption. This story tales place in NYC, btw). I pulled next to her and introduced myself and told her to get in the car. They were going to interrogation.

"I was wondering when you were going to come. Sasuke told me you mentioned me in your interrogation. You got him pretty mad by the way. I'd watch your back." She completely surprised me. With that calm, knowing smirk and the fact that she got in like I was some taxi service. Maybe this will be harder than I thought.

I was completely wrong. This was not harder than I thought. This was impossible. There is no way to crack this girl. I pulled out all my bag of tricks. I even talked about Sasuke's past girl's ive seen in this interrogation room. She didn't even give me a response. Only 2 hours into the interrogation, I had no more questions. I knew this was a dead end for me. She won't give us anything. I let her go free.

"Do you need a ride at all Ms. Haruno?" She let a knowing smirk slip onto her face.

"No that's alright. Sasuke should already be here to pick me up, but thank you for the offer." She smiled and walked out the doors. I looked out my window to see her get into a black and red Lamborghini with dark, tinted windows. When she opened the door, though, I saw Sasuke. He was glaring at the steering wheel. He really did look mad.

(Sasuke's POV)

I was on my way to meet my brother, when I heard my phone ringing. It was probably the dobe calling to ask how much money Sakura could spend. I sighed, but decided to answer.

"Dobe, how many times do I have to tell you Sakura can spend as much as she wants?" Anything for her.

"TEME! TEME IM SOOOO SORRY! I WAS WATCHING HER JUST LIKE YOU SAID BUT—"

"What did you do now dobe?"

"Well Sakura said I shouldn't have to be on babysitting watch the whole day so I went to spend time with Hinata-chan and when I got back Sakura-chan was gone!"

I started getting worried. "What do you mean gone, dobe?"

"Someone said they saw someone with pink hair getting into a police cruiser. The driver was identified as Kakashi."

Damn it! Kakashi wasn't supposed to get to her. That's why I had her on extra bodyguard protection.

"Damn it, dobe. Why can't you do one simple job for a few hours damn it! Ill get her. Just go home."

"I'm really sorry Sasuke-teme."

I hung up and did a u-turn to head towards the police station. I know Sakura can handle herself, but I have her talking to Kakashi. She shouldn't have to deal with this by herself. I should be there with her too. My grip tightened on the steering wheel as I pulled in front of the police station. I was glaring at nothing when I heard the door open and in came my angel.

(Sakura's POV)

I knew he was going to be pissed, but he will just have to get over it. I always win. He quickly sped away as soon as I shut the door and put on my seatbelt.

"Sasuke. I know your mad at Naruto but its not his fault."

"Like hell it isn't" he mumbled. "He should have been with you. That was his job. A simple job."

I loosened his grip on the steering wheel and grabbed the hand closest to me. I squeezed it lightly and he gripped it tight back. Almost like I would disappear if he let go.

"He had to see his girlfriend. You know she's having a hard time dealing with all the away jobs you send Naruto on."

"That's no excuse." Sasuke was pissed.

"What if I wasn't allowed to see you because your boss sent you away everyday?"

He growled. I knew he couldn't live a day without seeing me. His grip on my hand tightened.

"Please forgive him. For me." I was begging now I knew. But I would not let Naruto get punished for spending time with his girlfriend."

He sighed. "fine." He mumbled.

I leaned over and kissed him. Making sure he can still see the road.

"I love you, you know." I smiled at him when he looked over at me.

"I can't lose you Sakura. Please don't do that ever again." I could tell he was really worried for me.

"I promise." I gripped his hand tighter and we rode on in comfortable silence.
