A/N: Done for a writer's group I belong to, with the prompts being 'necktie', 'fingerprint', and 'killer'. So...yeah. This is an A/U. Stars Police!Itachi and Psycho!Sasuke.
I don't own Naruto.
"Where were you at 9:15 on Friday, September 14th?"
A blinding light shone in the suspect's face, glinting off of spiked raven hair and highlighting barely-visible navy streaks. He blinked before answering.
"In the shower."
"Oh? Where?"
"Apartment 413 on Redstone Avenue."
"Ah. So you were unaware of the…disturbance next door?"
"Oh, yeah. They fight all the time."
"Well this one ended…with a death. And we believe you to be the killer."
Onyx eyes snapped wide open, as the pale-skinned sixteen-year-old gasped.
"No…"
"Yes. Sasuke Uchiha, your brother Itachi's best friend was found strangled in Apartment 414 at 9:15 PM yesterday. We know that you have never been fond of Deidara, as he told us."
"It must've been him!"
"No. He was with the Police Chief at the time. Who also happens to be your father."
"It wasn't me!"
"He was found dead with your necktie around his throat and your fingerprints everywhere."
"…"
"Yeah. That's what I thought. You're coming with—"
A barely audible click sounded from under the table. The investigator's eyes widened. Sasuke's lips curved into a maniacal grin, finally having recognized the voice.
"You know too much…older brother."
He spoke with a slightly musical lilt as he lifted the gun and shot the twenty-one-year-old between the eyes. Blood splattered the ground as a crimson flower burst into bloom on the man's face. Sasuke stood, walking to the door, face splattered with blood. In the harsh light, his eyes seemed to gleam deep red.
"I am the shadow and the smoke in your eyes. I am the ghost that hides in the night."
In the darkness, sirens began to wail.
