Chapter 20: Lockdown!

"Oh come on," I said wrapping my arm around Itachi's arm/chest. I pecked his cheek, "You had to see that one coming. He was blushing like mad!"

After Sasuke's confession and a long awkward silence, we were gladly interrupted by Ducky, calling me into autopsy. (Itachi and Sasuke following along.)

"Hey Ducky," I greeted, "Did you need me for something?"

"Actually yes, Luna-belle. Mr. Palmer is still out you see."

"And you want my help? Why not Jordan? Did you ask Gibbs?"

"Yes," Ducky said answering my questions, "I want your help. Cr. Jordan is currently preoccupied and will not be back until tomorrow. And Jethro says that you need a break."

"And cutting up a dead person is supposed to help me?"

"Will it?" He extended a small scalpel.

I cracked a small smile. :You're the best Ducky." Ducky then tossed me a pair of green scrubs; I went to change.

"Ewww," Sasuke gagged, "you cut up dead people for fun!" Itachi and Sasuke's expressions did not go unnoticed.

3 hrs later…

Dad visited us in autopsy, followed by my porn reading uncle. (I found that out after sneaking a peak. I mean come on, it was lying on the kitchen table. I did however spend the next few hours trying to rid myself of the horribly disgusting images.)

"Did you get anything?" Gibbs asked.

Ducky and I looked up.

"Yeah," I said excitedly. I picked up Jimmy Q's heart and walked over to my father. "Jimmy apparently had high blood pressure, and get this… the fall didn't kill him!"

"It didn't?"

"Nope!" I held the heart up like a child with a trophy, " He had a heart attack mid-fall!"

At this point, Sasuke turned purple and passed out. Itachi on the other hand turned green and began to throw up in the nearest thrash can. Uncle Kakashi, who had been reading his porn book, finally looked up.

"Leroy," he asked, "is that even sanitary?"

Unfortunately, at that moment Naruto, Sakura, and Director Sheppard walked into autopsy, only to see me holding Jimmy's heart. Sakura, seeing a purple (now red) Sasuke, went berserk, falling over, crying, foaming at the mouth, and twitching. It wasn't pretty. Kakashi glanced over at Sakura, while Ducky, Gibbs, and Jenny, were freaking out.

"I wouldn't worry about her. She reacted the same way when I cast the genjutsu of Sasuke dying." He drawled without looking up.

"…why the f**k did you do that for?" I asked putting the heart in a container. I was ignored.

Naruto however found this amusing and began poking the unconscious Sasuke's stomach.

I pulled off my bloody gloves and went to assist my barfing boyfriend.

"Are you ok?" I asked pulling his ponytail out of the way. He pulled his head up (I handed him a towel.) and proceeded to wipe the access vomit from his mouth.

"Great," he managed to choke out, "I'm fine… how do you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Cut someone up and enjoy it?"

"Don't you do the same? You are Akatsuki aren't you?"

"Unwillingly and not enjoyed."

"It's not that I enjoy it, I hate the sight of blood, but if I'm around it long enough or if it's stagnant, I'm ok with it. And cutting up dead bodies, it's just a job I can drone out my surroundings."

"But when I got shot, twice, you barely blinked."

"Survival mode."

"Ah…" He glanced around the room, now ensuing chaos.

"They'll be fine," I assured, "At least I think."

*MERP, MERP, MERP, MERP*

"WHAT IS THAT!" Naruto exclaimed, jumping up. The alarm was blaring and the autopsy doors closed. Sakura and Sasuke had already come to.

"It's the NCIS security breech alarm!" Mom called. She and Dad were already trying to pry the doors open.

"Damn, it's no good. The doors are sealed shut." Dad groaned.

"Security breech alarm?" Sakura inquired, "What does that mean?"

"That," I answered, "means we're in lockdown."
