"This way officer, Doctor Tsunade told me that she will be dropping by with all the records"

Naruto followed the nurse into what looked like to be a conference room where the hospitals director would hold up meeting. He went in and took of his orange jacket, he was wearing a black shirt and jeans, with his favorite orange sneakers. He settled himself at the head chair of the table and leaned his chin on his hands. He furrowed his eyebrows, took a deep breath and let it out. He slammed his hands on the table and pushed the chair backwards.

"I'M THE BOSS!"

Naruto looked around and started walking with his hands behind his back.

"So you say there is no case? Well how about all of this evidence I have right here hmmmm…"

He motioned with his hands to an invisible folder he was waving in the air. Naruto could hear the fake comments.

"Now now, i understand you guys aren't as good as me, how can you compare to me. The handsome, intelligent, and cunning Uzumaki. I found the killer you all say didn't exist" He thrusted his fist into air with a victory smile and his eyes closed.

Without him noticing Tsunade had opened the door while holding two boxes with lots of papers in them. She was excited to see her god son since it has been a long time since the last dinner they went out for. She wasn't expecting to catch him acting one of his fantasies. She could just interrupt him, but she has had a long day, doctors arguing about who gets the Operating Room, dealing with Interns, arranging quotas for the departments of the hospitals, and trying to open her new idea of a free clinic. Nah she could interrupt him in a bit, she wanted to know how her favorite and only god son tells those envious agents how he was the one to solve said case.

Naruto stuck his hands in his pockets and shrugged to his imaginary competitor
" I told you Kiba, now everyone i'm going to go tell the family the killer has been caught, i'll be on TV explaining how the town is safe because of me, and let's be honest, i'm going to get hired for the FBI now, going to sleep with all the gorgeous mod-"

There was a loud cough coming from behind him. He turned around and saw his godmother clearing her throat with a frown on her face.

'Oh geesh did she hear everything'

"Hey Baa-chan"

He quickly went to aid her by picking up both of the boxes of her arms. The moment he turned around, she landed a punch at the back of his head. He let out a pain groan and turned around with teary eyes asking why.

"Don't be saying stupid things, do you know how many patients I get different STD's that they have contracted from one night stands"

She got near him, and he tried to back away scared of another hit from her, she was smaller than her but she had the hand of a hammer. She eyed his entire body and let out a thinking humm, then she turned him around and started pinching his sides.

"You aren't eating a lot, you have a few dark circles under your eye, and you stink, why aren't you taking care of yourself properly mister"

"Heyyy i don't smell!"

Tsunade turned around to grab a chair, Naruto quickly raised his arm and smelled quickly his armpits. He almost made a noise, 'damn when was the last time I washed that sweater, because I showered this morning' but he immediately put it down to not get noticed. He went back to the boxes and found a couple of folders for all three doctors that he was now investigating. Suigetsu had 1 box for his history and Aburame Shino as well, however it was odd that Hyuuga Hinata's was a half full box.

"Hey baa chan, I thought you told me all three of them started working around the same time, why doesn't she have the same amount of patients as the other guys"

Naruto started organizing schedule folders and patients they had seen the last year. He started going through Doctor Aburame Shino schedule, basically skimming since he already knew the guy was pretty normal. Just a creepy guy who loves bugs.

"Well she's a great doctor, better than suigetsu of course, but she always needs to take three days off every month to deal with family issues, that kind of hinders her from getting more cases compare to the others that work more hours"

Naruto kept a mind note about the 3 days off every month. He would look into that later on. He kept skimming shino's schedule and it all seem to be normal, not even sick days were taken off.

"Wow this aburame guy never gets sick huh, he really is dedicated to making money"

Tsunade let out a scoff and took her hair out of a pony tail to braid again.

"No Naruto, he works a lot for his patients, he barely reminds me that I have to give him a paycheck, the only one I would be focused if I were you, would be that Suigetsu guy"

Naruto pushes all of shino's information towards the side and glanced at Suigetsu's files. They were the same as well the only difference was that he had a couple of sick days here and there. He had a few scheduled surgeries as well so Naruto just skipped over that. Then he kept looking for any vacation days taken beforehand.

"When was the last time Suigetsu went on vacation? Because it doesn't show he hasn't taken any days in the past year"

Tsunade leaned back and started spinning slowly by pushing herself with her feet.

"Well then He hasn't taken vacation in a long time, still though he can't just email me he needs personal days and leave"

Naruto now thought it was normal for someone to just go on vacation, but his godmother was right. There was no heads up and he just left. He kept checking until a familiar name came up, Hiro smith, that was the drunk driver that had crashed into the uchiha's. Suigetsu has been in the Emergency room for that night, Naruto kept reading his shift that day. Something wasn't adding up. He went back to January, all surgeries were scheduled. Then to February, he would be called in for consults for surgeries, March he would have patients transferred from other hospitals to get a second opinion. April, still he would never take charge of the ER floor. He kept checking the following months up to September, they all had been him with patients or called by other doctors to assist.

"Umm baa-chan, can you explain this to me, how come Suigetsu is never on the Pitt for the emergency patients?"

Tsunade, had finished braiding her hair, and she stood up to walk towards Naruto to understand his question.

"Well he isn't the chief of the ER, so he normally doesn't work there, only with patients that get admitted through appointments or transferred from other hospitals"

Naruto then showed Tsunade all of the normal schedules of the doctor and then showed her the one with November 12. Tsunade skimmed and didn't understand what Naruto was hinting at.

"He worked the whole day in the ER, he had no surgeries for that day. Why would someone change their schedule like that for that specific day"

Tsunade noticed what her godson was thinking now. Of course, normally a doctor would have one or two surgeries a day but he had nothing. She tried to think if the regular chief of the ER was missing that day, but doctor Gai would never take a sick day and even if he was to miss a day, he would leave doctor Lee in charge.

Naruto took his pad from his back pocket and jotted down the note of Suigetsu schedule time for that specific day. Then he kept searching but it seemed that he had gone back to regular schedules and then the email of taking personal days.

He leaned back and let out a sigh, he turned to look at his godmother, she had a worry look.

"Naruto oh god, what is this case about? Don't tell me I have a killer working for this hospital"

She felt worried and nauseous at the same time, how could she not have noticed. She has heard rumors that he was annoying would try to flirt with coworkers but he never broken any rules.

"Relax, I'm just doing some research, there is no killer in your hospital"

'Oh god I can't tell her what's really happening'

Naruto started to chuckle and did his trademark scratch behind his head. He got up and bumped tsunade's head to get her to stop thinking too much.

"Hey relax, nothing to worried about, how about you go back to your job, I'm almost done here okay"

Tsunade was still worried, she knew the last person he needed to check was Hinata Huuyga, she was such a caring and gentle person, it would destroy her if there was something bad about her. She let out a sigh and just tried to focus on her hospital today. When Naruto walked her to the door, they both found Sakura about knock.

"Naruto?"

The moment he saw the pink hair, his heart jumped. He had been trying to get a hold of her for some time but they had both been busy.

"Hey Sakura-chan, how are you?"

"I'm okay how about you?"

"I'm good just doing some catching up with Tsunade here"

Naruto smiled while pushing his godmother out of the office. She got upset and punched his arm.

"I get the message I'm leaving, geesh, Sakura I hope everything is well"

Sakura turned to her mentor and nodded, she had forgotten what she came here for.

"Yeah actually I wanted to show you some X rays, but Naruto can you wait for me for a bit so we can talk"

Naruto modded happily, and waved as both doctors started to walk away while talking about a patient.

He let out a sigh and closed the door. He now had the last doctor to go over. While skimming the schedules and number of patients she sees. It all seemed normal, she did her regular hours in the Pitt of ER, and regular time with appointments. But what stood out where the days she would always ask off. It was consistent, Tsunade had been right that Hinata takes 3 days off every month. It showed it wasn't an early weekend off which what Naruto had assume it could be. If she had a family emergency every month it would make sense to leave on a Thursday or Friday. But it seemed her patterns were always on the 9, 10, 11 of every month. He noticed that they were now December 2. He would have to keep an eye on her for those days if she really leaves to go see her family.

He did a last time check to make sure he hadn't missed any information. It was now two hours later since Tsunade and Sakura left. He gather all the folders in the boxes and left them there. He now had new task to give to his partner, and hopefully a date with his beautiful pink hair crush.

Naruto headed towards the main lobby of the hospital. This is normally where he would wait for Sakura, since she always ended up talking to some patients family members or drop off some paperwork. He looked at his watch and noticed it was around 6 in the afternoon. Just in time, he saw his crush walking down the stairs with her regular day clothes and a folder in hand. She waved towards him and he waved back. He walked towards and heard how she was leaving instructions to check up on someone every hour on their sugar levels.

"Hey gorgeous, how are you"

Naruto open his arms to hug her, yet he was still ready to be pushed away by her. But it never came, he actually felt arms surround him and her fragrance under his nose. She hugged him tightly and he became worried.

"Sakura what's wrong?"

Sakura just wanted to feel that she had someone that loved her and wanted to be with her. It wasn't Sasuke and she knew it, but she needed some comfort and Naruto was here giving it to her.

"Nothing just a long day at work"

She felt how his hands went through her hair and how he tried to massage her head.

"Well if you want we could go get something to eat and watch a movie at my place? I'm done with my stuff so I'm free all night"

She looked up at him, he was everything she wanted in a guy, caring, understanding to put her first. But she wanted that from the dark eye with raven hair. She wanted the cold state to become loving and for him to whisper sweet nothings. She grabbed Naruto's hand and agreed to spending time with him. While they were both walking towards naruto's car, Sakura took her phone out and noticed a couple of messages from her family and one from Ino.

"Remember Ino"

Sakura slid into the passenger seat while Naruto closed the door and jogged to his side. Once he was settled in the car and turned it on, he took his hand and put it in sakura's thigh.

"Yeah, loud blonde, rings a bell"

Sakura let out a groan and rolled her eyes, she put her hand on top of his to get some warmth.

"She is having a party this weekend"

Naruto's eyes started to shimmer with joy, he squeezed her thigh in approval.

"We should bring Sasuke as well Don't you think, he should go out more"

Naruto slowly lost his smile, he took his hand back and put it on the shifting gear. He let out a cough.

"Yeah I'll let him know"

Sakura nodded and kept looking outside. It started to get cloudy and it seemed a storm was coming. Tonight she would focus on Naruto and tomorrow she'll find a way to invite Sasuke.

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Hinata was standing by the front doors of the hospital she was holding her bag tightly, she had heard there was going to be rain tonight but she didn't expect it to start so early. She started to damn the weather man, he said it would start around 8:30PM. She look at her watch and saw that it was already 9PM. She let out a sigh

'Looks like I took longer than I thought, it's not the weather man's fault…well I'll just call for an Uber then'

She took her phone out then suddenly she was pushed to the side.

"SORRYY DOCTOR!"

She saw one of the workers run in the rain towards a car, she jumped in and hugged the person who had picked her up. Then she started kissing what seem to be her boyfriend. Hinata looked away embarrassed and started rubbing her arm.

'If only Sasuke could pick me up like that'

WHAT! Where did that come from'

Hinata shook her head and kept going to calling her Uber. Then she saw a flash of light, she quickly looked up and looked around. It felt like someone had taken a picture.. she brought her phone towards her chest to calm down her beating heart. Then she heard the thunder from the sky.

'It was just lighting what I saw then, it's alright Hinata Don't be paranoid' she looked at the calendar 'in just 9 days he'll come see me..'

She let out a sigh and rubbed her temples already feeling a headache coming. She still felt like someone was watching her. She quickly ordered her Uber and texted her cousin the plates and name of the driver that had been assigned to pick her up.

As the time went by, she saw a black car with plate numbers that she knew already. Quickly she jogged to her taxi and as she slid in the car she definitely heard the sound of a camera go off.

The driver had been quiet, and she was thankful for that. She didn't want to be rude but every time a driver starts a conversation it would be awkward. Once reaching her home, she got out and jogged again towards her door. She quickly got herself in and locked the door. Hinata headed towards the windo and brought the shades down and peeking one last time outside, she did this process with every window.

'Stop acting like this, you're home now. Nothing will happen, there's nobody outside and definitely not inside the house either'

Once the thought had finished she felt a shiver go up her back. She slowly looked towards the stairs and gulped. 'Relax just relax, no force of entry….no broken things..' Hinata headed to her kitchen slowly and saw everything in their place. She took a knife with her 'well it wouldn't hurt to carry it with me..' Hinata slowly headed back to the living towards the stairs that would lead to her bedroom. She took q step on the first step.

"Hinata baby, it's saturday come on, we agreed that we would do it once a month" she heard him through from the kitchen. She knew today was one of the days for his therapy. He walked into the small kitchen where she was trying to cook something for both of them. She saw his dark hair was all messy probably from the wind, but his eyes they had something she couldn't decipher. He looked hopeful and eager tonight. She felt bad for not wanting to do those exercises anymore but he seemed so happy every time.

"I was thinking maybe we could skip it for next week, I had a tough day and I'm not really in the mood hon"

She slowly looked up at him, her whole body was shaking not knowing his response. He looked confused, he got closer and took her chin.

"I hope you're joking and this is the act.."

Her eyes widen, 'no no no it's not the act' she let go of the pan and moved towards the other side of the table to start chopping the lettuce. "It's not the act, I'm b-be-being honest it was a lo-long day" stop stammering! Or he'll want to do it. His eyes became darker if possible and his frown was visible. He quickly grabbed her and pinned her to the floor. Hinata let out a yell and saw how the knife slid towards the other side. "It bette fucking be the act bc now I want to take you"

Hinata let out a wimper, the back of her eyes were stinging and she could feel the lump in her throat. 'That was before, he is not here anymore' she held the knife tighter and started going up the stairs, once arriving at her room she turned on the lights. "I HAVE A KNIFE!" She quickly scanned her room and nobody was there. She let out a cry and fell to the floor. Tears started coming down while she dropped the knife and hugged herself. She quickly went to the window by her room and closed the shades as well.

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Sasuke let out a painful groan when he grabbed the towel from the top shelve. His side and back were still hurting from the fight. He dried himself carefully and noticed a couple of bruises forming by his stomach. He secured the towel around his waist and walked towards the sink. There was a red mark on his cheek and a small cut that would heal soon on the other side. He passed his tongue around his teeth for the twentieth time that day, to make sure all of his teeth were there. 'At least the other guy looks worst, hopefully Shikamaru won't back out from going there again '

He actually had enjoyed the fight for a bit, until one of the guys decided to bring a bat into the game. They were walking back towards the car, both him and Shikamaru noticed how three men were loosely following them.

"You know how to fight right"

Shikamaru let out a scoff after hearing Sasuke. He took that as a yes. Then one thing led to another and a one of the men had gone in front of them to empty their pockets. Sasuke was able to handle two of them while Shikamaru had to deal with one. Then during the commotion, Sasuke got a good punch and knocked out one of them. Then when they noticed one of assailants had a bat, they both had to work together to take them down. The area was so bad, that other people walking by never stopped to call the police or help them. Sasuke ended with bruises all over his back and side and few cuts on his cheeks. Shikamaru had some cuts on the lips but Sasuke assumes he would be bruised all over his body as well.

He headed to his room, he needed some well deserve rest. However destiny had other plans for him.

"Brother what happened to your face"

Itachi seemed a bit worried, so he walked closer to Sasuke to inspect the results.

"I'm assuming this is for going to the site to speak to the locals? What happened they Don't want money so they decided to beat you?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes and continue walking towards his room to find some clothes to put on for bed.

"No we just walked around, we got jumped on the way back to the car no biggie"

Itachi leaned on the doorframe and let out a hum.

"Well next time take some guards with you"

Sasuke let out a scoff, like that would help. Itachi left the moment Sasuke laid down on the bed. He started to think of ideas for the proposal, then his mind wandered to a navy hair beauty. 'She should be home by now' he hoped she was because it was already raining and thundering like never before. So he grabbed his phone and sent her a text

'Tell me your day was worse than mine'

He waited patiently for the reply

'I have feeling I did'

He let out a small laugh, but worry began to settle, hoping she was joking around.

'Tell me about it'
