Chapter 7 Crime Scene
The Next Day early in the morning, Naruto woke, he was prepared to go on his newest mission, the thought that he could have caused such a problem was more than a little nerve wrecking, he walked outside heading toward where they usually meet, the training grounds, he walked through the village to go and get the Doctor, as he made his way through the crouds and to the spot where the TARDIS was, he noticed it was gone. He looked around but saw nothing. As he walked around the town, still tired from the previous day, he started to wonder where the Doctor had gone. What if this was apart of the paradox, he continued to the training fields, standing there was Sakura speaking to Hinata, and Sai, who was paitiently waiting.
"Oh, Naruto, your early", said Sakura.
"I am", asked Naruto.
"Only by five minutes", said Sai emotionless.
Hinata stood in a manner that could easily be seen as anticipation.
"Hinata, are you ok", asked Naruto.
Hinata blushed.
"I-I'm fine, it's just, I have been thinking about what has happened since we went with the Doctor, but mostly I've been thinking about who would kidnap people, and for what", said Hinata.
"Well, I wouldn't worry about it, whoever he is, we are going to find him", said Naruto.
Hinata smilled. Sai looked up.
"Its now 8", said Sai.
At that precice second a strange sound could easily be heard. A grinding and whirring sound could be haerd as a blue box slowly faded into view. After a split second, it just sat there. The doors opened with a screeching sound. It was the Doctor.
"Am I late", asked the Doctor.
"Actually, your right on time", said Sakura.
"Ah, lovely", said the Doctor.
He closed the TARDIS doors and turned around smiling.
"So, where's Kakashi", asked the Doctor.
"He's late. Like always", said Sakura.
"Where were you", asked Naruto.
"Sorry, I decided it was best to hurry through this, so I weant forward so as not to wait, it may have been a day for you, but for me, we last talked only seconds ago", said the Doctor.
"Ok, but why did you do that, it was that that got us into this mess to begin with", said Sakura.
"Oi, last time was a fluke, if a giant monster didn't fall down causing the ground to shake, making Naruto trip outside of the shields, then this never would have happened, it's my fault really, I knew I should have enlarged those shields but some things are unavoidable, I should fix her, but she's getting old", said the Doctor as he rubbed the TARDIS doors afectionetly, almost in the same manner as a person would pet a dog.
"OK, thats not creepy at all", said Sakura sarcastically causing the Doctor to stop.
"Well if you've been through what we have, you would understand that that big blue box is more than just a ship, it's all thats left of my home, of my people", said the Doctor completly serious without a hint of anything comical in his voice.
They continued to talk when they saw Kakashi walking toward them reading the same book. After a minute, when he made it to them he closed the book.
"Well, good to see you all. Doctor, Hinata. Naruto told me that you were coming with us, so I guess we all know the mission, we should be on our way, so were off to a spot where some disposed of ninja clothing has been found covered in cuts and blood", said Kakashi.
"Ok, whats the plan", asked Sakura to Kakashi as they started to walk.
"I'm not sure yet", said Kakashi.
Sakura turned her head to the Doctor.
"So, do you have a plan, you always seem to know something going on", said Sakura.
"No", said the Doctor without even a hint of comedy in his voice. "Well, then were off to a great start", said Naruto sarcastically.
"I find that this is a very bad start, a horrible one in fact", said Sai.
"I was joking", said Naruto.
They continued down the road. Silent, they walked all thinking to themselves. After several minutes they made it to the site. There was small drops of blood, and tattered clothing.
"Looks like there was a fight", said Sakura.
"Yes, and it looks as if it didn't last very long", said the Doctor.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out his glasses. He walked around the scene checking every single detail, everything that obviously went on was clear, but it was the attacker that confused the Doctor.
"Strange", said the Doctor.
"What is it", asked Naruto.
"Well,whoever or whatever attacked didn't seam to get rid of any evedence of attack, while thats not too strange, they did seem to cover up anything that would tell us who did it", said the Doctor.
"They", asked Hinata?
"Yes, whoever did this, there were at least three. While they did clear some evedence, there are some footprints, now the seemed to have altered it to make it look like one of the victims, but there is one thing wrong here, the victums leave light footprints, the attackers foot prints are a bit deeper in the ground, they are heavy, and they seemed to have not moved from one spot", said the Doctor.
"They did all this without moving, and still won", said Kakashi.
"From what I can gather whoever was attacked seemed to have moved frantically, as if whatever they had seen surprized them", said the Doctor.
"So, whatever attacked them was something they were not familier with, or had ever seen", said Sai.
The Doctor nodded, then stood up.
"What I don't get is why coverup just who attacked, rather than cover up the whole crime", said the Doctor.
"There toying with us maybe", said Sakura.
"No, whoever this is is a thinker, they obviously realize people are going to notice the dissapearances, but don't want to reveal themselves. Whoever but, the strangest part is this, whoever attacked, didn't kill it's victums, they took them alive", said the Doctor.
"How do you know that", asked Naruto.
"While they covered up all footprints, the ones walking away seem to be a little bit deeper that the rest, if they are so smart, they would have destroyed the bodies right here, rather than risk exposure, that is unless you count that maybe they need the bodies alive for something", said the Doctor.
"So our victums may still be alive", asked Sakura.
"Maybe, unless what they need them for, in the end will kill them", said the Doctor.
"Any ideas on who did this", asked Kakashi.
"No, I am new to this universe, I wouldn't know much about the criminals here, but I do feel like I am missing something", said the Doctor.
They all stood, looking around the crime scene for anything new, or something they missed, but in the end, nothing.
"I think we have all we need from here", said Kakashi.
The Doctor took off his glasses and put them back in his pocket.
"Well, at least we figured out a few things", said the Doctor.
"What now", asked Naruto.
"We follow the footprints, for as long as they go", said Kakashi.
"I'm all for that", said the Doctor.
Everyone got ready to leave the crime sceane and prepared to walk.
"Is everyone predy", asked Kakashi.
"Yea", said everyone in unison.
"Then lets go", said Kakashi.
"Allon-y", said the Doctor.

Yay, another chapter, sorry if it kind of seems like a mystery show, I watched CSI Miami and I think it got stuck in my head, but another chapter has been completed, more will come, but I don't know how long since my inernet connection suffers from "I'll work when I feel like it syndrome". Anyway, the story will get better as time goes on, I know who the villans are, but the main problem is, Naruto characters mainly stop threats with fighting, while the Doctor uses his mind and only fights as a last resort. Not to say that Naruto characters don't think, but it usualy involves strategic battles, I think you get what I mean, I have been having some trouble with how to use both evenly so that both the Naruto Characters and the Doctor stop the enemy evenly, instead of one doing everything while the other is just a spectator.
