Act I/Scene II
(Later that day, Desiree gets Shikamaru to help her in the investigation. Her phone starts to ring. It's Marvin.)
D: Hey, what's up?
M: Have you found anything?
D: Yeah. We found fingerprints on the cup you drank out of were yours. But no traces of Sakura's fingerprints or DNA traces yet. Do you remember who you were talking to at the party?
M: Uh. . . Shino, Kiba, Lee, Neji, Temari, Naruto, Ten Ten, and I don't remember who else was there. Lots of people were there.
D: Thanks. I have witnesses to ask if they saw Sakura doing anything suspicious. Thanks again.
M: Don't expect too much out of Lee. That fool was so BUZZED!!!!!!
D: I wasn't going to ask him anyway. I'll probably talk to Kiba first since he live close to me.
(The following night. Marvin is playing "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 4" on his PS2 when his cell phone rings.)
M: [thought] Dammit! I was winning! (Picks up the phone) Hey, Desi.
D: This is horrible! Nobody's seen Sakura! She hasn't been answering my calls and even Naruto called me asking if I knew where she was!
(Marvin gets up and turns off the PS2.)
M: Sounds serious. (His watch beeps) What time already?! Damn, where's my costume?!
D: (skeptically) Costume?
(Marvin curses, regretting he said that out loud.)
M: (hesitant) Um. . .h-have you heard of that vigilante that the ANBU are looking for?
D: I recall Itachi saying something about him or her last night. Why?
M: (takes a deep breath) Well. . .I'm the Batman.
(He hears his friend gasp)
D: (Angry, yet has a tone of concern) Are you crazy?! Are trying to be killed?! You know vigilantism is crime in Konoha! No, I take that back. It's a crime everywhere!
M: I know, I know! ( He pauses, thinking of what to do next.) Ok, meet me at the Hokage Stone Faces.
D: Alright. I'll see you there. I'll bring Shikamaru and Naruto along.
M: Don't tell them who I really am. Especially Itachi and Tsunade!
D: I won't. As long as. . . .you keep my secret.
M: And what would that be?
(She hesitates)
D: I. . . .might be pregnant.
M: (gasps) OH MY GOD!!!!!! You and Itachi finally? Oh, wow! Congrats! (calms down) Ok. . . . I'll see you in ten minutes.
