I made it so that the italics are Gaara and the people at his meeting while the normals are Ame and Hitake, her team mate.


" So, how's the mission going?"

" It's going fine."

" Shall we begin?"

" Yes. Do we have a name for the killer?"

" Yes, it's Shiro. And the killer is female. We know because she told us at the last crime scene."

" She was there?"

" No, she left us a note."

" You left a note?"

" I was bored, now shut up."

" What did the note say, exactly?"

" You may call me Shiro if it makes anything easier and no this is not my real name so don't even bother looking it up. By the way you can quit calling me a guy, I'm not one."

" Do we have anything else?"

" Not yet."

" I see. Does any one else have anything?"

" No." The rest of the Kages said together.

" Well, if that's all then I should be getting home."

" Meeting over." There was a pause, some mummers and a door shutting.

" Hey, Hitake are you there?"

" Yeah, so they don't know anything."

" Just the way we like it. Alright Gaara's on his way so I should let you go and we'll talk tomorrow?"

" Yeah, bye." I snapped my phone shut and walked quickly toward the study to grab a book. I had just jumped over the back of the couch and sat down when the Kazekage walked through the front door. " Hey." I greeted eyes still trained on the page in front of me.

" Hey."

" How'd the meeting go?"

" It went well. How are you?"

" I'm good."

" What are you reading?"

" Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice. I know that you probably can't tell me but, who do you think is the killer?"

" We don't know yet but, we're working on it."

" I see." Later that night Gaara was sitting in his chair when I came up behind him and gave him a hug and as I slipped him arms off of him I grabbed the bug and slid it into my jeans pocket. My phone rang and as I grabbed it I started walking towards the study. " Hello?"

" Hey. How'd everything go?"

" It went smoothly and I got the bug."

" Cool."

" You know, most wives don't have to plant a bug to spy on their husbands."

" You know, most wives aren't killers who's husband is the Kazekage."

" Point taken."

" And anyway, you're not married."

" Good point."

" Hey, has Ayuma called you?"

" No, the last time I talked to her I was with Sasuke. By the way, how is he?"

" Ever since he's heard about you and Gaara he's been really pissed."

" Okay, well I just wanted make sure that he didn't you know, die or anything." There was a pause before I sat down in the rather comfy black leather computer chair in front of a very nice desktop setup. " I just got an idea. hey, do you know if you had the password do you think you could get into the Kage server and get the war playbook for everybody onto a flash drive?"

" Yeah but, Ame I could go to prison for treason."

" That's why I asked you."

"Alright what's the password?" I heard him ask after a sigh.

" It's 54 92 62 108 14. Go it?"

" Yeah it's 54 92 62 108 14. Right? Does that have any spaces?"

" Yeah, between each number. Got now?"

" Yeah. Hey, why do you want the playbook?"

" Leverage if something goes wrong. Or black mail."

" Alright, if I get caught I'm taking you with me."

" Fair enough. Hey, I gotta go see you later!"

" Yeah, in prison." I heard him mummer just as I'm about to hang up the phone.

" I heard that." I said with a smile before snapping the phone shut and making sure the door was closed as well. I sighed, leaned back in my chair and looked at the door just waiting for the Kage that I'm spying on and lying to to walk in. I slipped off the desk and walked on my bare feet toward the door. Gaara was no where to be seen. There was a knock on the door and I sprinted over to open it. " Sasuke, what are you doing here?"

" I wanted to make sure you hadn't gone insane yet."

" Hey, be nice. Just because he kicked your ass doesn't mean you can be mean to him. Although that was rather funny. Sorry, that was mean. So, what's up?"

" I was wondering if you were doing anything tonight."

" I'm married." I said holding up my left hand so he can look at my onyx wedding ring. It was plain and simple with one round onyx in the center of a silver setting. " Would you care to come inside?"

" Yes, thank you." He said and walked through the open door. I flopped on the white coach while Sasuke sat gently in the chair next to it.

" Sasuke, what are you doing here?" Sasuke narrowed his eyes at Gaara and I did the same to the douche bag next to me.

" I was just wondering how everything was going."

" It's fine." I was just about to say something to shut both of them up but my phone rang in the kitchen.

" Excuse me." I said and got up but, I stopped and turned towards them. " Be nice and don't kill each other." Sasuke smirked and Gaara's eyes lit up. " Hello?" I said into the receiver.

" Hey, Ame. Have you seen Sasuke?"

" Yeah, he's sitting in my living room right now. Why?"

" Sakura's been freaking out about it."

" Please don't tell her where he is. Just tell her that he's safe."

" Why? Do you want to keep him to yourself?"

" I will reach through this phone and punch you." I heard a chuckle on the other line. I smiled and imagined Ayuma sitting in my chair at the apartment. " By the way, get the Hell out of my chair." I hung up the phone and looked over my shoulder at Sasuke and Gaara. In the other room I could hear Gaara's hone ring.

" Ame, something just came up I have to get going. I'll see you later tonight."

" Alright bye!" I said before giving him a hug and replacing the bug. After he left I looked at Sasuke and smiled." I have to go make a phone call, I'll be right back." I picked up my phone and headed towards the kitchen. " Hitake, tap into the device again. But, I need you to record it so I can hear it later."

" Why? What's wrong?"

" Sasuke's in my living room as we speak."

" I see. I'll get right on that."

" Thank you, love." I said in a fake and horrible English accent before hanging up the phone.

" Everything okay?"

" Yeah, I just needed to get something done."

" Hn."

" Don't you dare." I threatened with venom in my voice and narrowed eyes on my face.

" What?"

" Don't you dare even think about doing the whole 'Hn' thing again." He smirked at me with a smug look on his face. " I'm bored." I stated as I plopped myself onto the arm of Sasuke's chair.

" Come take a walk with me then."

" I have to stay here."

" Why?"

" In case Gaara gets home."

" He'll be fine, Ame."

" I know because I'll be here." I stated and got up to grab some ice cream. " I'd ask if you'd like some ice cream but, I know you don't like sweet things." I said as I walked back into the room with a small pint of Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream. I couldn't help but groan as the cold sweetness hit my tongue.

" You really should get out of the house more."

" How do you know that I don't?"

" Because I never see you around the city."

" If I wanted you to see me then you'd see me but, until then I'm invisible." He looked at me and smirked.

" I can see you right now though."

" That's because I want to be seen." He slipped his arms around my waist and pulled me into his lap gently as I put my arms around his neck. " Hey, Sasuke?"

" Yes?"

" I'm still married."

" And I still don't care."

" Yes, well I kind of do."

" Why? You don't love him, do you?" He said in a suddenly defensive tone.

" Don't you dare even think about trying to back me into that corner, Uchiha." He flinched as I said his last name. " Yeah, I'm not dropping that until you stop trying to guilt trip me." I gripped the arm of the chair that my legs were draped over and pulled myself up and onto my feet before turning and facing the raven haired ninja.

" Ame, I wasn't trying to guilt trip you. I just didn't think that you, of all people, could love a man like that. You know what he did."

" And you know that A: it's none of your business who I do and don't love and B: that what he did was out of self defense!" I was almost yelling at this point. " How could you possibly blame him for something that was an automatic reaction? Do even realize how cruel and unfair that is?" I sighed. " I have never brought up what happened to Ayuma, Hitake or even you to prove a point and I'm not about to. But, I give you my word that I will do it without so much as a second that if you make me."
