An: Smart Drug/ limitless inspired Sasuke.

The dark man had been rolling his suit case on the marble floor before that's as replace with the runway. He lagged behind the team as held the luggage in on hand and the other in his pocket. They stopped in the safe zone as the jet rolled up. His onyx eyes looked from the ground then up at her. Her her green eyes watch the plane as her pink hair blew in the wind. She wore a white coat over her jeans and sweater rolling a designer carry on.

His cheek remembers the pain she had stricken across it. He could only be apoplectic, not offer any explanation to why he leave her like that.

Her slap, told him how bad he messed things up.

Sasuke wished to tell her that night he just wanted to feel something. Something real and not feel like a druggie lab rat and a government weaponize personnel. Normal was never an option for him but those summers with the Uzumaki family helped, when Naruto left the nest, summers at sea on huge vessels picking up the boldest island girls of the bunch with his best friend helped. He could identify himself by picking up a woman getting to know her swooning her. He never needed one hundred percent access to his brain to do that he didn't have to be a tool for someone else to do that but the day he was exposed to the drugs chemical brilliance was the day he did in fact use his smarts to get someone.

He had just taken his first dose. The travel to Narutos college wasn't bad but when the effects started to kick in when host foot touched the grass of the university. Wheb he saw a head of pink floating through the campus. It was as if a spotlight shine and glittered on her. Rose hair gleaming and with a turn in the sun her eyes shine a shade lighter like an spring tundra. His brain had transcended. He could see she was actually attracted to him and not his friend. She didn't have chance that night. Neither of them did. The drive back to base he spent remorseful. He just slept with the love of his best friends life.

He blinks back to reality and squinted at her then looked at Naruto to find any lingering emotions that he picks up on every now and again that made him keep 100 yards away from Sakura for a few years but there is none he is focus on his blueberry hovering by Agent Hyuga. Sasuke eyes squinted at the this, the atmospheric tension, His eyes heighten and ears twinged. His senses flared and he brushed it off though he could guess a couple of reasons why he could see through their act, he allows himself to note his hunch as his nose takes in Sakuras scent.

The aircraft stoop a few feet ahead of them. A few works in reflective vest rolled a air stair to the door as the co pilot opened it. The profilers and herself extracted from the group upward as the officers await their jet. She knows Director Uzumaki is climbing up behind her.

Hinata is sure she's would've been a bundle of nerves if not for her determination to not fail this case. Taking her suit case to the seats she reach above an row unlatching the compartment and shoving her bag inside before she took a seat in the leather to see Nara,Uchiha and Haruno following suit. Unzipping her bag she extracts her folder then MacBook but is puzzled when she heard shuffling above her.

Director Uzumaki had reopen her compartment, sticking his luggage inside before he took a seat by her.

Seemingly the air is thin and filled in whatever body wash he had used in the shower before he came there. She closes her eyes for just a moment by how close he is.

Under his orange light in his bed. His elaborate movements. His face of euphoria his moans. The blood on the bed and her cowardly escape.

A whiff of his scent hits her hard as he shifts in his seat. Her eyes flashed open-before a shaky hands open her laptop.

"Out of the five victims one survived" she says watery before clearing her throat. She passed the paper to him.

His eyebrow creased at it as his blue eyes scanned it. Her eyelashes fluttered as she turned from him. Her spine turned to iron

"How do you want to handle the press?" He asks her.

"I think we should be a little transparent. We wouldn't want a witch hunt for sharks in the area since a human has organized these attacks. The public doesn't need full details but enough to ease the tension around the creature"

"It says here not one victim has been identified by name. Only one by gender." Nara stated

"What are the genders? " the Junior director ask.

"One female the rest are males presumably. "

"If this is a hit man then these victims could've been on the wrong side of the law. Or persons without family" Uchiha chimed

"Then we will have to find the murder scene to get as much motive as possible" Dr.Haruno followed.

"Agent Uchiha and Haruno conduct interviews with the people at the locations where each was found. Nara contact Yamanaka, you get everything you can on those waters. I want to know the type of sharks their ecosystem. Uchiha and Haruno will go to the docks to investigate while we three will visit the crime scenes for a press conference. "

The last case Hinata didn't talk to the press so officially. She'll have to address this town and their whole nation that's watching. Putting that aside she pulls up an email to send the direct contacts of their team to Seashells depo.

The sun is shining in the SUV, their brief moments at the hotel consists of tossing their things into their rooms and getting coffee. Uchiha is driving Haruno, Nara,junior director , and Herself to the first beach.

In the passenger seat green eyes stare at the passing town. They haven't talk much since she slapped him. She doesn't blame him. Being in the car with him was proving to be rather difficult. Sasuke wanted to get busy and she thought she could do it again but what happen before still stung her heart. He held her close all night. Being in his arms made the ice melt around her battered heart. Her sight crosses with seagulls flying at a angle in the wind in the horizon as the smell of the sea hits her nostrils.

"How is everyone?" She hears from next to her before anyone could answer his cool voice cuts in again. "Dr.Haruno" singling her out.

Her spine stiffen as she turns to catch his black daunting eye for a few seconds before turning away.

"I'm okay"she breaths halted.

Hinata found it best to keep quiet looking from the black and pink heads in the front to the around outside. It crosses her mind. What the man next to her thinks about her. Women probably throw themselves at him. When he walks in the room is like that moment of day break, he demanded to be seen and felt. She wonders just how many women had fell for it. Laying underneath that neon glow in his bedroom being defiled. The thought makes her jealous but she had no right to be. Swallowing her feelings she focus on where they're going and why they're here. The job deserve all her attention not her personal bad decisions.

"The mosquitos are here" Sasuke says.

Naruto could see lines of news vans and reporters before the beach as Sasuke parks. "Leave us here"

Hinata body is moving on her own getting out as does the Junior director,Nara and three officers. She could see Uchiha leave and the thick camera lens awaiting her. Her vision is filled with a tall male her eyes looked up at him. No longer in that wondering awe she had prior to being deflowered but in pure doubts of herself of the situations at hand.

He opens his hands rising an arm to the side of her face and pushing in a headset.

"Ino is on there she will be feeding you facts about the creatures. Why not to fear them and what to do if you encounter one"

When his hand is moved from her face she nods at him while her head lowers.

"Look up"

She does so slowly and he nods his head once towards the awaiting news crew. She hugs her sides as they walk in silence. Her heels are sinking in the sand. Why didn't she wear comfortable shoes?

"I'm evaluating you" he says

Her blood goes cold as she's wonders if he's talking to her as a boss or as whatever they were to each other at his home.

"Hatake" he says

She nods to herself. "I understand"

The main director could see through her, she bets everyone can especially Director Uzumaki.

"Do what you have to" she whispers to him before marching ahead.

Naruto blurted that out to her. It all came out wrong. He wanted to apologize but bringing that up now will distract them both. He couldn't help but feel guilty at her stomping away greeting the news reporters pushing the button in her ear. Her silky hair was in a low ponytail loosely but not messy hanging behind her head. She wore a dark blue skirt suit and heels with stockings underneath. He took a place behind her as she spoke to the flock.

"We know the shark as an apex predator of the ocean. The ABAU have confirmed the shark in questions is not hunting Humans on a whim. If you encounter the creature in the ocean it'll probably have nothing to do with this case. If it shows aggression push its nose away with your palm"

He's staring at her from behind. She's making a statement and he is tuning her out as the motions of her arms and ponytail swing with her words.His eyes look down from her ponytail and ears to her neck, small waist, round out print of hips and bottom creasing her skirt. His chest rumbling in red blood cherry flavored lust. He knows what's underneath. That thing was dangerous and delicious. Almost completely Untouched with only him invading that space. A place in the world where no one has been. His own personal discovery. He blazed a trail, found something remarkable and he didn't want the world to know about it just yet or ever. If he could he would take that hidden gold mine with him or hop inside to hide away forever.

Her body turns and her pearl eyes are looking at him with fury but also wanting his approval.

Fuck

He didn't listen tot he rest of her speech.

He step forward towards the microphone.

"That will be all the questions for today" he says as leans close to her ear. "Come with me"

Hinata follows him and Nara and to the yellow tape. There wasn't much of a scene just a closed off area where the victim wash ashore. Everything in her body is on fire in anger because she felt belittled. Hearing that from him. She given him to much power over her at his home that she hadn't considered it would crash with their professional spectrum having such a gap. It surprises eve her how she feels strongly about this. Maybe she hates him. Is this what it means to hate someone?

They watch Nara take pictures and scope out the area. She awaits for him to speak. About the profile

"I need to talk to you"

She looks up at him his face wasn't as firm as before but not really soft either.

"The profiler could be a collector" she adds and his face is back hard.

"Agent Hyuga not about the profile"

Her heart stopped before the beating became deepening and gushing with anxiety and needy want. She wanted him. Like seriously wanted to own him. Have him. All to herself. She's melting.

"I apolo-"

"Arg" she vocally cringe closing her eyes and turning from him. She brought a hand to her chest to pace the seizure her cardiac systems were experiencing. She doesn't want to hear it. She doesn't want him to call her a mistake or say an empty sorry to make himself feel better.

"Forget anything happen it's okay" she says sharply turning from him and walking ahead on the beach. Each step felt like the Sand added 10 pounds to her feet. She can hear him following her. Sand softly patting around her feet. Her heart stupidly hammers at his attempt to apologize. Why is he apologizing? For not calling ? For assuming she has these stupid feelings already for him? She's such a cliche. If this was sex she didn't want it. Why the hell was she chained to him in ways she never knew before when she was just so painfully attracted to him.

They make it to the line of wooden poles in the sand, in their silent strut.Hinata looks out into the ocean, and in his her peripheral vision he does too. The far away vast waves are rash and passionate in front of her while her sight takes in the orange and dark purple horizon clashing together making a small swirl of pink. Hinata steady herself on the wooden circular top of the pole her palm flat on its surface fingers spread like a starfish. Taking deep breaths as if she can feel the water in her nose and the waves pulling her deeper in. Instantly she thinks of Hanabi. It's getting hard to breath. The small brush of fingertips on hers causes her chest to sink inward. Light purple eyes glare down at his big hands barely touching hers.

"You look pretty " he says low with ease and blood rushes her face as she pulls her hand away holding her wrist to her chest. He retreats his hand walking forward pulling something out of the wet shore carefully watching his shoes. Standing back up he clean sand from inside an empty green bottle.

He takes her hand from her chest and places the bottle in it. Her fingers wrap around it's grainy surface reading the coke a cola label

"That is a rare treasure" he tells her as Nara comes back from the crime scene.

She looks at The dirty glass in her hand glowing a flouursent green. A new feeling is felt. Flattery and happiness pulling and pushing away her once consuming but silence anxiety that's exclusive is tailored towards him.

Without a thought the pulsation inside her already accepted his beautiful dirty beach glass as the best gift she's ever received.

Bringing her here was careless. "Let's get you out of here" he tells her as Nara stares at them.

Sasuke parked outside the port opposite of the beach they dropped Naruto and the other agents off at the beach.Sasuke could pick up on things thanks to his trials under that long haired paled freak quack who gave him and his brother the training and smart drug. Hyuga and Naruto had something is going on between them. He wouldn't mind confirming he finally moved on. When they went for ramen at his restaurant the other night he all but confirm he was seeing someone. He watched Sakura get out the car and he followed her towards the port. If Naruto could find someone else then. The dirty way he united with Sakura wouldn't loom over them.

Sakura could hear his footsteps as men unload boats at the docs. They were visiting the largest trade port in the town before they are to speak with the surviving victim Twenty five miles from where the first limbs were found.

"There's at least twenty five small boats shipping out their products." Sasuke observers.

Her green eyes squinted in the crisp sun seeing mass of nets and fish being labeled and toss onto the larger vessel.

"Naruto and I use to work on ship about that size"

"Oh yeah? That's where you take him ever summer? Traveling the sea"

"Yeah we made good money. His dads hard on him as ever. The poor guy doesn't know Kushina keeps an emergency Naruto stash"

Sakura chuckles at this. Sasuke and Naruto go way back long before she ever met them. The amusement leaves her as she sighs seeing the smaller fishing boats with different logos. "Let's talk to a few of them. I'll ask Ino to narrow the list to specific company's who sell shark meat"

Sasuke and Sakura came back to pick them up. When he got to the hotel he went straight towards the shower afterward he reviews everyone's reports of the day and did sit ups before he paced around his room shirtless in basketball shorts. He use to collect sea glass with his mother. That was what he noticed on the beach the glass. He picked it up and gave it to her. Where could the bottle migrated from frosting over all these years. Maybe they been too routine only searching the crime scenes.

He immediately picks up his phone and texts Ino.

Find any port company who's inventory include old fashion cola bottles for vending machines or personal use. Everyone is plastic or aluminum by now it should narrow down the search With the shark meat packaging.

"We should go visit the victim until Ino narrows down the list for interviews "

"While we're in town we can get the verifiable company's list too. If this suspect is a hit man he probably doesn't follow the law that requires a fishing license. Catching a three hundred pound plus fish isn't a whim skill. He's a pro and self taught" she adds.

When Sakura makes it to her hotel room. Her brain is fried from their visit to the hospital. The victim hadn't woken from his coma. They went to the city hall to obtain the list of local fisherman. she strips straight down and marches to her shower. See the victim disfigured was not easy. She couldn't remember the last time a case made her feel this drained. It been that way since Sasori's shrill of her name on the last one. That man was locked away in Suna federal prison she reassures herself. She blinks up at the ceiling past the running water.

She wanted to go to Sasuke she did but a apart of her couldn't forgive him for the secrets and disappearing acts

There's a knock at his door and he pauses before opening it.

Black eyes stared back at him and step aside disappointed.

"Expecting someone else?"

Naruto plopped on the bed and leaned down on his elbows. Sasuke was a profiler he shouldn't under estimate him. Considering their track recorder he didn't want him to know who was the woman on his mind but he could disclose why.

"So who is she?"

Naruto grimaced. "The person who ended my 9 month drought"

Sasuke snorted."tell her your not usually a minute man it's just been a while"

Naruto ears burned from childhood rivalry but he was grown up now. More confident from him knowing he was always better and the woman he met over the years helped that. "That's not the problem"

"Then what is ?"

"I gave her at least forty five minutes to do her in, so I thought. She's laying there crying I'm fucking the shit out of her and she's crying because it was her first time" he says in shame. Her weakly forget it happen didn't sit right with him at all. She terrified him.

Sasuke looks in different. " that can happen you know. It's not the most gentle act to began with"

Naruto sat up pulling himself together. "Doesn't matter" he lies. It did it matter so much he wanted to blow her mind and make her reach a pinnacle, he's complimenting her, touching her hand and given her a gift of industry and Nature. It matter they're not talking about it he's not comforting her and it matters he wants to just do it again to her. It matters to the point it's distracting.

Sasuke smirked a little at Naruto straightening himself up as if on que.

"If you can't get it off your mind and you can't let it go. Then don't" he warns and leaves Naruto with that.

He sat back on his bed. He had thought it was her at his door when Sasuke knocked.

Her face contorted from him stretching, her short pants, and red face. Her responsive body shivering and shuddering at each movement until she surrendered all her tension limp in his arms as he had his way with her.

He pressed a hand to his chest and rubbed it down his stomach finding his waist line.

Hinata Had been at the small sink rising the bottle with soap and water. Sand ran down the porcelain bowl as she got out the last of the dirt. She sat the bottle on the counter before she dragged her feet to her bed and plopped face first on the cover.

She picked up her phone and decided she needed to talk to someone.

Tamaki: hello

Hinata: bleh

Tamaki: bleh?

Hinata: bleh

Tamaki: what happen?

Hinata: He's just so

Tamaki: you've known him like four months relax

Hinata: but I can't stop thinking about him.

Tamaki: is he thinking about you?

Hinata: he called me pretty today.

Tamaki: okay now we're getting somewhere.

Hinata: pretty is the new cute. I want to be more

Tamaki: again you don't even know him

Hinata: He gave me seaglass

Tamaki: What's that ?

Hinata: I don't know, a bottle from the sea.

Tamaki: He gave you trash?

Hinata: It was sweet.

Tamaki: reel yourself out before it's to late. He doesn't care.

Hinata: kind of held my hand

Tamaki: then I guess your his girlfriend

Hinata: don't patronize me. I know how ridiculous I sound.

Tamaki: sorry sorry. So how do you feel?

Hinata: like an idiot

Tamaki: elaborate

Hinata: My stomach lining feels weird when I see him. I feel flaps and twist

Tamaki: butterflies?

Hinata: that's what that is ?

Tamaki: your hoplesss

Hinata: Don't say that I have hope

Tamaki: you want the truth

Hinata: of course

Tamaki: You can't handle the truth.

Hinata rolled her eyes.

Hinata: I'll be getting medicine for my stomach ache.

Tamaki: haha good luck with that.

Her friend mocks her.

Tamaki: It's to late for you

Hinata: what do you mean?

Tamaki: Maybe another time when your past denial. Goodbye Hinata.

Hinata eyes were squinted. She didn't like her friend condescending sarcasm. She told her nothing! Besides she has butter flies. She shakes her head in her bed.

It could be gas or maybe he rearrange some things in there with monster he hides in his pants.

Her lips spread into the smile and chuckle before she closes her eyes and try to remember the feeling. Past the pain that intense pressure. What was that?

Her eyes flew open and she turns her head at the bottle on her sink. The flutters in her abdominal return full speed. You look pretty. The brush of their hands, and his almost apology. Him. Director Uzumaki. Who's first name is Naruto. She brought a hand to her cheek and her face was hot to touch as her heat skip and hopped . Blushing madly she sat up and cringe.

She couldn't escape him. "This is aggravating " she scolds herself. Her eyes travel to her laptop.

Grabbing it she flips it open and is flooded with details and pictures of the case. Her butterflies have turned into throne bats.

Closing it she sits back on the bed.

When morning comes she has three miss calls from the surgeon general of the Seashells Hospital. The victim, Roshi has woken up. She emailed the teams group members and Director Hatake told her she would be meeting the victim alongs side Officer Hekei and the junior director. Uchiha and Haruno were due to more interviews as Ino had a few leads.

She prepares herself. Plain white shirt blue pants and black tennis shoes. She pulls her hair into a loose low ponytail before she goes to the lobby.

She sees Officer Heikei talking with Neji. Their both in their uniform smiling at each other.

Hinata held a small smile on her face at them before she pulls out her phone going over notes and pointers for speaking with the victim. After Aiko she realize she shouldn't allow herself to cry.

When Neji walks away the two finally spot her. She looks from her phone and they're both blushing. He follows Uchiha and Haruno out the revolving doors. The man she couldn't get out of her mind behind them talking into his earpiece. A cold chill ran through her at his demeanor. Today would not be like yesterday. That small opening of intimacy is gone. He's in the mood to catch a killer.

Pushed a button in his ear.

"A sixth victim has been found." He almost barks

"Ino has narrowed the search. After analyzing it could be only one man on that list. Kisame Hoshigaki at the Ash port. Haruno, Nara and Sasuke. Sai, Inuzuka,Aburame and Hyuga cover them.

The group walked out together.

Hinata watched as everyone were on edge around the jr director and his tone. "Heikei your with us. Mr.Roshi is coherent and we need his intel of what our agents are walking into"

He says directly to her.

Hinata could see the look in his eyes and she nodded to him. She couldn't fail. She would have to get what she could out of Mr.Roshi, To ensure Haruno and Uchiha would be prepared.

An: figured they just investigate around, address the media and give a peek into Sasuke back story to progress things.
