Here's the new chapter. I hope you like it. I might write again tomorrow. Thank ally1313.

"The next witness I'd like to call is Anko Mitarashi."
"Anko-san?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Yeah. Why Anko-san?"
"She was there when we were rescued." Kankuro said quietly. "At least I think that was her name."
"Black hair, dark eyes and a tough appearance?" Gaara nodded. 'That sounds like the woman.' He wrote.
"Its her." Temari confirmed.
Anko stepped up. She stood at attention. Her black hair was up in a bun. She was wearing the typical ANBU uniform.
"Anko Mitarashi? Correct?"
"Yes."
"You work at the ANBU Center?"
"I do."
"And you were one of those who responded to the call that led to the arrest of Kaze Sabaku and the discovery of two of these children?" Anko nodded.
"I was."
"Please tell us about what happened."
"Alright. We got a call from a woman called Konan Akatsuki and we responded. The call stated that she had heard the sounds of something being hit, though the weapon was unknown, and the sounds of someone screaming in pain. The neighborhood where this occurred was Suna where we happen to know, many crimes occur." She coughed discreetly.
"Continue."
"We, myself and two others, one of them a policeman, responded to the call. We hurried over and were shown the house in question by Mrs. Akatsuki who, with her husband, Pein, had just moved into the neighborhood. We heard the sounds of violence within and decided it was an emergency situation. We already had a warrant for the arrest of the person perpetrating this attack, if it was proven to be such. We knocked, then getting no response, knocked the door down."
"I see."
"We raced into the house. The inhabitant apparently heard us coming since he was alone when we entered the room. He only appeared to be alone. A closet door swung open and revealed these two children huddled inside, with open wounds that were dripping with fresh blood."
"Go on."
"We didn't hesitate to question the children who identified themselves and confirmed our theory of their abuse. They were taken into custody and their father was arrested. The children were taken back to the ANBU Center."
"Please describe the condition of the children."
"Alright. Kankuro Sabaku was bleeding from a deep wound to the shoulder and another to his lower arm. He was shaking and afraid but was the one answering our questions. His brother, Gaara Sabaku was in much worse condition."
"Please tell me about his condition."
"Alright. In my professional career, I have never seen a case of abuse this bad. In addition to severe scarring, he was bleeding from deep cuts on his arms, back, shoulders, head and legs. These wounds, like his brother's, appeared to have been caused by a knife, which is evidence I believe."
"Please go on."
"There were also wounds caused by a heavy object, identified as a broom, on his back and then there were others."
"What others?"
"Wounds that were caused by a heated metal rod. The rod in question was in the room, still warm. It is evidence also. These wounds were across his back." She sighed. "They were severe. Gaara did not speak to us but his brother stated that he was mute and had been for years. He simply looked at the floor with an expression of wonder. The expression faded to shock with in an hour."
"I see. Is that all?"
"Yes except that I would like to see justice done to these three children. Their father deserves jail time." With that final remark, Anko stepped off the stand. She walked briskly up the stairs to the witness gallery.
The court was in an uproar. The jury were whispering, the judge was looking after Anko thoughtfully and the Prosecuting attorney was smiling. She sent a look across the isle to where Kaze Sabaku sat with his attorney. The look said clearly, 'You are going to lose. Badly.'
Kaze returned the glare with interest but his attorney looked slightly crushed. He knew that he would have to work extremely hard to convince the court of his client's proclaimed innocence.
Kaze leaned forward to whisper into the ear of his lawyer. The man frowned. His client looked threatening. The lawyer stood.
"Your Honor. I believe that last statement was unlawful. It is an unnecessary statement." The judge arched an eyebrow.
"Objection overruled. That was relevant. Part of the purpose, as you know seeing as you went to Law School, is to share their opinions. Please think about your next objection, Defence." The attorney bowed his head and sat. The prosecutor looked triumphant. He looked crushed. Kaze Sabaku leaned forward again and appeared to be hissing angrily in the man's ear. The man looked tired as he leaned back to respond to his client's accusations of in competency.
Temari smiled.
"That got him." She said smugly.
"It did." Kankuro and Sakura agreed in unison.
'Who gets called up next?' Gaara wrote. Instantly they all became speculative and thoughtful.
"I wonder." Temari said.
"I bet it's the Akatsuki woman." Kankuro said.
"That does sound likely." Sakura agreed.
'I think so too.' He wrote.
They were right.
"Proceed." The judge ordered. The Prosecutor shot a victorious look at the Defense attorney.
How'd you like the chapter? Do you think that Kaze's chances got better of being locked up? What do you think of Anko? I like her. She's got guts and a soul, unlike some of the other Kunoichi, (Ino). She should appear more.
Note: The person who sends the 25th review to this story gets a one shot written for them. If they are a Sasuke fan then… sorry. If they are a Sasuke Hater I will write a story with an OC of them who has a pet Sasuke. The pet will be Sasuke who got transformed. He could be a dog, kitten, Cockatoo (You know he looks like one) or a pink unicorn. If you are the 25th, say what you want in the review. You know you want to see Sasuke as a pink Unicorn. Heh, Incentive.
