Oven-Baked Justice
Chapter One.
Sakura Haruno was satisfied. Her plan was going right on schedule.
The pink-haired female set down her binder of stuff in the middle of her office as she pulled off her blond wig to reveal striking pink hair, looking around. The walls were covered in newspaper, printed files, and random quirks.
Three of the walls were dedicated to one S. Uchiha, her most recent target.
Sakura sighed, popping out her blue contacts (honestly, the things she did for justice!)and flipping open her binder. She tossed several articles on the floor, before absentmindedly pulling out the article she'd been looking for. Shaking it out, she went to the wall that wasn't covering S. Uchiha, and stapled it up.
She beamed at it, noting the address and scrawling it on her hand.
Her next target was in order.
"Sakon?" Sasuke Uchiha asked in his rich voice steadily, staring at his boss. "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely positive," Kakashi Hatake leaned back in his chair, glancing at yesterday's newspaper. 'After her little…revendous in your office, she would've picked up a newspaper to scour for targets." He picked up the front page and shook it in the air. "No doubt she found out about Sakon being released for…rape charges." His lip curled. "That would make him her next target."
"She's going to kill him,' Sasuke said in a monotone.
"Yes, Sasuke, kill or at least…attempt to drag behind bars. Injure. Maime. Something like that," Kakashi said in his bored tone.
Sasuke's eyes twitched. "And you want me to be there when it happens.'
"I would like to put him behind bars," Kakashi said, his one visible eye glittering. "both of them."
Sasuke sighed. "Right. Off to Mr. Creepy's lair."
She sat outside his house, tapping her fingers on the steering wheel, her eyes stormy and dangerous. She was thinking. Thinking about her next target.
"Are you okay?" He asked her softly, letting go of her. Her heart was still beating fast. He had just saved her from a most certain death.
"y-yes," She said, her voice nearly failing her.
"I'm glad," he said. "Drunks. I hate drunk drivers." A glare came across his face, and his fists clenched.
She blinked at him. "Are you a cop?"
"No. I'm training to be a detective, so I'll be able to save people."
"You LIAR!" She screamed, hitting the steering wheel so hard it throbbed. "You lied to me, you stupid, insufferable bas-"
She broke off, silently cursing herself. Her target must not hear her.
After a few moments, a familiar car pulled up in the darkness and a even more familiar person got out.
"Patience, Sakura. Patience."
Sasuke stared at Sakon's face, suddenly feeling the urge to throw up.
"Well, what do you want?" The male who'd got off scotch-free of rape charges sneered at him.
'I'm K-SIS," He said slowly. "We need to talk."
Sakon rolled his eyes. "Didn't you read the paper? I was found not guilty. Now go away!" He attempted to slam the door in his face.
Sasuke blocked it quickly. "You might want to listen to me, because somebody wants you dead."
Silence greeted this statement. Finally, heaving a sigh, Sakon opened the door again, and allowed Sasuke to enter.
"Why is it always death with you guys?" Sakon hissed grumpily, shutting the door behind the detective and leading the way to the living room. "You killed someone, someone wants you dead, do you know anything about somebody wanting your brother dead…"
Sasuke stared at Sakon coolly. "You might want to be a little more grateful. I'm trying to save your life here."
Sakon rolled his eyes. "If I know cops, its that they always do something for their own benefit. So, tell me, detective, who wants me dead?"
Sasuke weighed his options, finally coming to the conclusion that he should just spill. "A freelancer."
"Oh-ho," Sakon laughed, smirking. "And let me guess. She wants you dead too."
"Not just want," A feminine voice came from the doorway. "Is going to have."
Sakura smirked in satisfaction as the two males whipped towards her. She blinked prettily, both her guns trained on one target.
"Strawberry," breathed her long term target.
"Nice to see you too, Uchiha," She flashed him a smile. "Now, stay sat, will you? I'm not here for you. We have a lot more planned out."
"I'm confused," Sakon said, looking up the barrel of her gun.
"Oh, dear me," Sakura said. "Males. So thick-headed. Think they've got it good with back-up…I've got it made with back-up. Also, males can be confused with guns staring straight at them. Sakon, my little rapist buddy, since you're gonna be dead in a few seconds, let me fill you in. I'm the freelancer who wants you-and is going to get you-dead." She fired both guns, the first killing Sakon, the second shooting Sasuke in the leg. Then she disappeared out the back door, leaving the guns and her gloves behind as she escaped into the dark.
"KAMI EFFING-" Sasuke broke off, trying to control himself in front of his boss and his brother. "She was there. Right in front of my eyes. And talking to me. And my fricking voice recorder is broken!" He hissed, slamming his fist down on Kakashi's desk.
Kakashi sighed. "Take a breath, Sasuke. This is not over. Obviously she wants to play with you a little more, which is good. It means your life is safe...for now."
Sasuke growled. "I don't want to be a toy. I want her behind bars!"
"We're going to get her behind bars, foolish little brother," Itachi said. "All you have to do is be patient and draw her towards us."
"She kills," Sasuke told Kakashi. "I don't want to be near her gun anytime soon!"
"I'm sorry, Sasuke," Kakashi patted him on the shoulder. "But this is the only way."
"It looks like the only way is going to get me killed," Sasuke growled, limping out of the office.
Itachi looked at Kakashi. "He does have a point."
Sakura pulled down the newspaper clippings on the wall directly behind her desk, storing them away in a folder marked 'SAKON'.
She sighed, looking at the blank wall in front of her, before pulling on her wig and inserting her contacts again.
"Time to go target-searching."
