Case 2

"Uzumaki Naruto!"

Naruto, who was lying on his prison bunk, winced at the call of his name. He sat up and shifted his gaze to the cell door where he saw a grumpy looking warden was smirking at him.

"Come on! You have visitors." The warden took out a pair of handcuffs; opened the cell door and started cuffing Naruto's hands together to his back. "You're sure an important person ehh… You didn't even make a single call but yet you've already got visitors."

Naruto did not say a word at the warden's statement. His mind tried to guess who the hell would have been a busy body sticking up their asses into his own matters. He'd almost toppled over when his back was pushed violently forward by the warden.

"No matter how important you are, that doesn't mean you can walk leisurely. Keep moving! I don't have all day!"

Naruto growled, with daggers shot from his eyes towards the warden. If his hands weren't cuffed, he'd have his hands on that man's neck right here right now. He was dragged to a small room which contained a small meeting table with four chairs surrounded it. He was seated to one of those chairs and was left alone to wait for his visitors. A moment later, two people entered the room. "Hello Naruto kuuunnn …"

Naruto tilted his head and fixed his eyes to one familiar red head boy which he wished he had never wanted to see again. He was now with someone he shared a lot of memories with; someone he known since he was in primary school. "What do you want, Gaara?" Naruto asked icily after the two had taken their sit opposite him. "I told you I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

Gaara leaned his back comfortably to his seat. He crossed his legs and folded his arms over his chest. "I came to help you, Naruto …"

"I don't need your help." Naruto snapped cutting off Gaara's words. "I didn't even ask for anybody's help since I was brought here moreover if it's from you! Come to think of it, how the hell did you find me here?"

Gaara smirked. He signaled to his left to the guy that was with him. The guy with a boring face just nodded, lifted up his briefcase and placed it on the table. He searched for some papers inside the bag he had opened and handed it over to Gaara.

"Let me brief you a little, honey." Naruto scowled by the nickname Gaara addressed him. He stole a glance to the guy next to the red head and saw an amused smirk formed on the guy's lips. "I've been searching for you since you left me a month ago. Two days ago I received information of your whereabouts from the informer inside the WPD (Wind Police Department) that you were put under custody of the Orochimaru murder case. I was a little too late to bail you out from Wind's custody as you had been transferred to KPD for further investigation. I had been informed that you'll be under going a trial here because of your Konoha citizenship and because Orochimaru was one of the biggest investor in Konoha Hospital's shares. Now that I've found you, I would never let you out of my sight ever again."

The room became silent after Gaara's last statement. Naruto locked his eyes with Gaara's. He was aware that the red head was a persistent human being and he would do whatever it takes to achieve something even if it means using his position as the son of Suna City's mayor.

The guy next to Gaara's left let out a boring sigh. The clock was ticking but the two just stared at each other as if they were communicating through their eyes. "Let's get on with it Gaara-sama. If we want to settle this case soon, we'll have to dig out much more information from him and don't forget we also have some other sources out there. We have other appointments, remember?" :so troublesome:

"Maa… maa… you don't have to remind me twice. For him, I'd remember everything." Gaara winked at Naruto. "Do you remember Nara Shikamaru, Naruto?" He motioned his eyes to his companion where the blonde's eyes followed. "I hired him to be your lawyer in this case. I hope you'll cooperate with him smoothly."


Kakashi listened to the record of Gaara and his lawyer conversation with Naruto this afternoon while he was dressing himself up for his date with the mayor tonight. He had ordered Lieutenant Shiranui Genma to record every single details of their talk so he could study the situation later. But to no avail, there was not much info he could dig out from the conversation as Naruto just remained silent and kept his icy expression during their discussion. The talk lasted for only twenty minutes when the blonde asked to be taken back to his cell as he didn't want to continue further.

:What was the brat thinking? Is he hiding something? Why wouldn't he cooperate when someone came a long way from Suna City just to help him out? And he didn't even want to be bailed out! :

Time was nearly 7:00 pm when Kakashi was startled by the sound of a car horn outside his condominium. He neared his balcony and peered over the rail where he could see Jiraiya waving frantically next to his red Porsche. Kakashi quickly left his second floor condo and ran downstairs to his waiting date. He was wearing a pair of black jeans and a blue black sweater. No mask covered his face tonight as nobody would notice him as the commissioner. Jiraiya on the other hand wore a red long sleeve shirt that matches the color of his Porsche. A pair of black shiny leather pants was clinging tightly to his legs.

"Hahah! We're gonna enjoy ourselves tonight and get drunk till the last drop. Ne Kakashi..?" Jiraiya stated after they stepped into his car.

"Hai… hai …" Kakashi only nodded while waving his hand. He still can't take his mind off that new case. "What're you waiting for? Let's go."

By seconds, the proud Porsche zoomed off towards Zouk Club.

Tonight was Wednesday night and the night for the ladies. Thus the ladies population was much higher, doubling the guys in quantity. Both men entered the club with no difficulties as Jiraiya was well known to the club bouncers. He's the mayor after all. They were ushered to a medium size round table with a couch that could fit five people on it.

Jiraiya waved to every lady that happened to passed by their spot. Kakashi somehow just sat comfortably with a kind of lazy expression on his face. They ordered five bottles of sake. One for Kakashi and the rest are for Jiraiya and might be spared for the other companions later. The DJ tonight had correctly chosen the right songs that suited Kakashi's mood which were light and easy even if it was techno.

"Hey Kakashi! I'm going to leave you for a moment." Jiraiya said near to the other man's ears. "Some ladies over there are waiting for me. Don't go anywhere. Wait for me here, ok!" He kissed on Kakashi's cheek and left that man in a hurry. He then walked himself to a bunch of ladies at the bar counter.

Kakashi slightly shook his head. He could have guess by minutes later their seats will be full of women. He did not know why but he didn't have much interest of having women around. Come to think of it, he didn't even have a girlfriend.

Suddenly his eyes caught a glimpse of someone he just happened to know today. :Gaara?..: The red head was seen talking to someone who was very well known to Kakashi and Konoha City; Orochimaru's most trusted right hand man. Both of them were seated across the dance floor from Kakashi's location.

:hhmmm … this is interesting. What would Kabuto and Gaara have business with?..:


"So what do you want to see me for, Gaara-sama …?" The guy who was sitting with Gaara let out his first question.

The redhead being asked smirked. He comforted himself to the couch while folding his arms. "I just need to inquire some information from you. I hope you'll answer me clearly."

Kabuto took a sip of his drink. He then locked his gaze to Gaara. "Hit me with your best shot."

"What and why Orochimaru would want with Naruto?"

Kabuto raised an eyebrow. :So this was all about that brat. I could have expect: "Are you blaming us on what had happened to him?"

"Yes!"

"Maa … maa … Gaara-sama. He had come to us on his own records. You can't just simply put all the blame on us."

"I wish I don't but Naruto had his ass into this mess after he had involved in your organization. What do you expect me to think?"

Kabuto let out a small laugh. "Orochimaru had been killed and it's obviously that brat's fault. What more you're trying to imply on?"

"That maybe he didn't killed that man. Or perhaps someone else in your organization did it."

"Now… now … " Kabuto waved his hand in front of the redhead. "You are accusing us on some plot or something?"

"Yeah maybe …" Gaara sarcastically stated with a meaningful smile on his face. "I believed your organization had some people who would dare turning their back from someone who had trusted them. For example, YOU."

Kabuto choked on his drink. He coughed a bit. "Why do you suddenly put the issue onto me?"

Gaara allowed an amusing smile crawled up on his face. He leaned closer to Kabuto and whispered to the man's ears. "Do you think that I didn't know who broke into my office three months ago?" Kabuto had flinched by that statement; but he managed to remain calm. "Your organization has been in our business alliance for quite some time and that 'break in' incident could be called a betrayal, don't you agree? So tell me, whose idea was that to have turned against acquaintance that had trusted you?"

Kabuto was speechless. He stared at his drink. "What makes you think it was me?"

"I had hired a professional investigator on that case. And have you forgotten the modern technology called cameras?" Gaara let out a satisfying smile as thought he had caught the man before him. "Nevertheless, I had to admit that I don't think Orochimaru would do something against me. He had all the benefits he could gain by doing business with me and my family. However…."

Kabuto stared at Gaara as the redhead just trailed off. He could not fall for any trick or attempt on making him spill out any secret that he was hiding right now. "However what?"

"However… I have doubts on you. You have other interest on your mind. I don't trust you."

"If you think I was behind all this, why didn't you act against me when you knew about me breaking into your office?"

Gaara teasingly brushed the tip of his nose to Kabuto's earlobe that made the other shivered. "I like to play. I like to play hide and seek with my prey."

"You're just so cunning Gaara-sama." Kabuto let out a sarcastic compliment. He shifted uncomfortably in his sit. :Shit! I told Itachi not to mess with Gaara! Now I'm the one who stuck here. Itachi had better do something!: "I think our conversation ends here." He took his last sip of his drink and get ready to leave. "Good luck to you on the brat's trial." With that statement, Kabuto left Gaara who was still had an amusing smile on his face.


Kakashi drove in a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. The time was nearly 3:00 am in the morning. The mayor was sounded asleep to his left passenger seat. He was completely drunk and had lipstick marks all over his face. Looks like Kakashi had to spend the night at the mayor's mansion and get a taxi back to his condo early in the morning. He's gotten use to this kind of situation as he was the only main companion to the mayor when the old man wants to flirt around. Things would end up with Kakashi driving the mayor's car back to the mansion and then taking a taxi back to his condo in the morning.

The Porsche was just parked in the garage when suddenly Kakashi's mobile ringing. He quickly looked at the number appeared and shortly gasped as a slight panic shot through his brain. In a quick manner he tried to process some excuses to answer the person on the other line.

"Hello! Good morning Tsunade-sama! How are you doing down there in Suna? Having a great time?" Kakashi cheerfully answered his phone.

"You'd better tell me Kakashi, where's that old man now? Is he sneaking out again?" Came a woman's voice from the other line.

:Huh! Speak for yourself. You're no younger than him: "Ehh! Ehehh..! How should I know…!"

"You should know as you two always hanging out together even when I'm around."

Kakashi glanced over to his left. "Really Tsunade-sama! Right now I didn't know his whereabout. Have you tried ringing his mobile?"

"I did! He's not answering it!"

Kakashi bit his lips. "Well…. I wish I could help … but…"

"And where's that damn brat anyway?"

"Err… what do you mean? Who's that brat?"

"Naruto!"

"What about him?" Kakashi pretended not to know anything but his heart was speeding at six beats per second.

"My last visit was four months ago and today when I am here, his landlord claimed he'd already moved out without notice. Did you know anything about this Kakashi?"

"Errr … How am I supposed to know everything?"

The voice on the other line let out a heavy sigh. "I came down here to Suna not just for the club holiday trip but to discuss with Naruto upon his engagement with Sakura. And now that he's gone, how the hell am I suppose to find him? I can't even get through his mobile! Eeerrggghh ….! That brat! He's always making …."

However, Tsunade's words trailed off, inaudibly to Kakashi's ears when Jiraiya, without warning, moved from his seat and cuddled towards Kakashi. He snuggled to the man's chest and mumbled some incoherent words. :what the fuck..!: Kakashi almost yelled out the older man's name when he realized he was still engaged with the old man's wife on the other line. The wife kept on babbling and muttering something which were inaudible to Kakashi now. His attention was now focused on the mayor who was cuddling tightly onto him. :don't you dare to vomit on me, old man!:

Jiraiya made another unexpected move by dropping his head right onto Kakashi's groin. The man's eyes widened, perturbed. :what the fu …: The older man then rubbed his face on that area and started doing some nipping that made Kakashi yelped. "Aahhh!" He bent forward almost hit his forehead to the steering wheel.

The voice on the other line froze from her babbling. "Kakashi saaannn …?"

Kakashi gapped in a silent mode tried to conceal his moan. "Y-yesss … madam …"

"Are you with someone?"

"W-well … kinda yeahhh …." Kakashi gripped on the old man's hair preventing him from going further on what he's doing.

"Who are you with? I can tell it's a man voice. Was it that old man? Why you …"

Kakashi's inner self screamed :aaaarrrgghhhh! why do I have to be stuck in the middle of this husband and wife stuff?: His brain immediately caught a wonderful idea. "Hello! Hello! Madam! … can you hear me?"

"Yeah! Hello! I can hear loud and clear, Kakashi!"

"Hello!... bbzzzztt … Madam!... Hellooo…!"

"Hey! Kakashi! What's wrong?"

"Bbzzzzzttt …. Hello! … My line's not clear, madam! Bzzztt …. I think I'll talk to you later …! Bbzzzztt … tut … tut …tut…" Kakashi quickly switched off his mobile. He let out a sigh of relief while his eyes shifted to the old man below. :now… to take care of you as usual …:
