Naruto let out an exhausted sigh as he closed the door to his apartment. Throwing the keys on the desk in the hall he took off his shoes and jacket and started to walk in to the kitchen.

"I'm home!" he shouted and soon the sounds of foot steps were heard.

"Hey there old man! What took you so long?" A brunette boy asked. Naruto glared at him.

"Who the hell are you calling old you little brat!" he grumbled.

Said boy chuckled lightly as he walked in to the kitchen. "Who do you think? You're the oldest one here!"

"That doesn't make me an old man" Naruto said with a childish pout. The boy laughed. "If you say so!"

Naruto sat down at table in the kitchen and started to go through the mail.

"What's for dinner?" he asked the younger one.

"I'm feeling lazy today… Pizza?" Naruto grinned.

"Sure!"

Naruto watched as Konohamaru walked over to the phone and dialled the number.

Konohamaru had, just like Naruto himself, grown up without parents. And when Naruto turned 18 he had decided to take care of him. Konohamaru had been 11 at that time. Now he was 16 and couldn't be happier than to live with someone like Naruto, and Naruto felt the same thing. Konohamaru reminded him so much of how he used to be when he was a kid. But he was also very happy to have him because Konohamaru was really helpful. He knew that Naruto's job was hard, especially at the moment. Whenever Naruto was late home dinner was already prepared, and sometimes Konohamaru even took the time to clean some parts of the house. Naruto sometimes teased the younger boy about him being his housewife.

"So, how was work today?" Konohamaru asked and sat down on a chair at the opposite side of the table. Naruto sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

"The same, I guess" he said. "There was another murder though, a young woman"

Konohamaru raised an eyebrow. "Kyuubi?" he asked and Naruto nodded. Silence fell over them for a few seconds before the younger boy broke it. "Why can't you catch him?" he asked. "I don't understand, you used to be able to find out these kinds of things in a few seconds! What makes Kyuubi so different?"

Naruto let out a heavy sigh and leaned back into the chair. "Konohamaru" he rubbed his temple. "We've been over this thousands of times. We just don't have anything that could lead us to him… It's complicated!"

Konohamaru slammed his fist into the table and stood up. "You keep saying that but, it's only complicated because you make it! You don't look deep enough! Sometimes you have to look underneath the underneath!"

Naruto raised an eyebrow as all he said was "You've been hanging out with Kakashi again, haven't you?"

Konohamaru groaned. "Yes, I have, but that's not the point! People are losing their friends, parents, siblings and lovers, and all you can say is 'it's complicated'!"

Naruto's eyes glared up at him from under his blond bangs.

"You don't think I know that? I've lost someone to because of him! Don't you think I'm trying my hardest here?"

Naruto raised his voice as well.

"I'm working my ass off, night and day! I'm looking over same things over and over again to see if there's something I've missed! Don't tell me that I'm not looking into it deep enough, because I've gone as deep as you can go and I've hit the bottom, okay? There is nothing more to it! I'm stuck! So don't you come and tell me that I have to "look underneath the underneath", because that's already done and I found nothing! So please be a good boy and concentrate on your school work. Stop playing detective and act like you know what you're talking about!"

The two of them shared a heated glare before the younger one slowly started to push the chair out to make more space to move.

"I'm getting the pizza…"

Naruto sighed, feeling a bit bad about his harsh words he stood up and followed the teen out to the hall. "Konohamaru wait! I didn't mean it like that" he said, rubbing his tired eyes. Konohamaru just shook his head.

"No, you're right. You're the police here. And I know you're working hard, I just…"

Naruto gave him an understanding nod as nothing else needed to be expressed with words. "Well then, be careful when you're going"

The boy nodded and closed the door behind him as he left the house. As soon as the door was closed Naruto let out a heavy sighed. He was exhausted. He dragged his feet over to the kitchen and slumped down on a chair, burying his face in his hands.

"God damn it" he mumbled. Suddenly he wasn't hungry anymore. Deciding that he was too tired to care about food at the minute he wrote a small note to Konohamaru before walking out of the kitchen and into the bedroom. For once in his life he didn't bother to brush his teeth or change his clothes. He crawled under the covers and quickly drifted to sleep.


Green eyes filled with terror looked up at him. She opened her mouth to say something, but not a sound passed her lips. She was covered in blood and her shirt was ripped. She was desperately trying to get up from the floor, but as soon as she found the balance he pushed her down again. The tears running down her cheeks mixed itself with the blood on her face and she sobbed uncontrollable.

"Please" she whispered as she felt a hand grab a hold of her pink hair. "Please don't hurt me"

A cold laughed echoed through the room, making the wounded girl on the cold floor shiver.

"I'm sorry sweetie" the other person said. "It really hurts to kill someone as pretty as you, but I made a promise… I can't break it now, not when I've come this far"

A hand grabbed a hold of her throat. "This is the end for you. I hope you've learned a lesson" he whispered in to her ears, and smiled as he saw the last ounce of life leave her. Her eyes turned cold and her screams and movements stopped.

The man smiled satisfied and stood up. His eyes drifted to a mirror in the room. He grinned at the reflection.

Orange, spiky hair, crimson eyes and three whisker like scars on each cheek.

"Looking good there Kyuubi, looking good" he said and winked at his reflection.



Naruto's body jerked awake and he quickly opened his eyes. His whole body was covered with sweat and he was breathing heavy. Naruto swallowed a few times before sitting up. He immediately started to think through the dream, over and over again before it could slip his mind. There was just something about the dream that felt important. Maybe because it didn't feel like a dream, but more like a repressed memory. Or, maybe not memory, but there was something about the dream that just felt familiar.

And then there was the fact that Kyuubi's name had been mentioned, and the girl on the floor who had been killed also looked extremely familiar.

Naruto sighed and got up from the bed, deciding that he couldn't go back to sleep until his mind was cleared. Taking his shirt and pants off Naruto walked out of the room and towards his office. But suddenly slowed down when he saw an ounce of light flow through the narrowing door opening. He frowned, not remembering leaving neither the light on, nor the door open. He slowly made his way over to the door, listening to the sounds from the inside. Rustle from papers, floor creaking under the weight of someone, drawers being pulled opened and then shoved closed. Naruto swallowed before pushing the door opened and stepped in.

His eyes widened slightly at the sight. The person in front of him gave out a small, terrified gasp at the sight of the older blonde, but quickly recovered from the shock of being discovered.

"Look, Naruto" the brunette started calmly. "Before you go on again about how you are the police here and how I should stop playing detective blahblahblah, and all that I need to ask what the hell you're think you're doing"

Naruto frowned. "What are you talking about? I'm the one who should ask what the hell you think you're doing, and in my office!"

Konohamaru glared at his guardian. "I wanted to help you with the case! I went in here now when you were asleep because if I would've asked you you'd just replay that it's too dangerous and that I'm not old enough! And now I'm glad I went behind your back because I'm surprised you didn't notice this before" he made a wild gesture at the papers on the desk. Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"What is that?" he asked.

"The victims' personal files" Konohamaru answered.

"I already have them, Konohamaru. I've checked them a thousand of times, what could you possible have found that I haven't?"

The brunette walked over to the older blonde with the papers in his hand and shoved them against Naruto's chest. "I don't know what you're playing at, but I suggest you stop right now, and take one more look at the victims' background" And with that he left the confused 23 year old in the room.

Naruto sighed and sat down with the papers, but gasped as he looked at them. 'What the hell is this?' he thought as he looked at the documents. 'These aren't the same as the ones I received at work! These seem to contain a lot more information… What the hell is going on here?'


I know that Konohamaru should actually be like..20 here since he's like only three years younger than Naruto (I think...) But I wanted to make him younger. To be like a son, or little brother to Naruto, ifyou understand :) Well, what did you think? Sorry it's short, but the next chapters will be a bit longer, swear. But keep in mind that this was suppose to be a one-shot xD Looks like it's going to be a lot more than that -.- ^^ Please review if you feel like it, it'll make me happy ^^
