Sage: I love watching Court TV. I don't get it but I just love it. I mean there are so many ways you can get busted because of forensics. I mean you will get caught, no doubt about it. Anyways here is the next chapter of Hyuuga Neji, Detective.

'…' flashbacks

Hyuuga Neji, Detective

Chapter Three: Wedding Going Awry

The camera turns on to see a wedding chapel. It enters in and made a turn to the left to see the bride's corridor. It showed two women chatting nervously and quietly but the first woman, presuming to be the bride, walked out with a nod towards the other woman. The other woman hoped for the bride's safety

"Ino, should I get you something?" a blond man in a black tux whispers to his girlfriend. The woman named Ino shook her head. "I'll be back a while Naruto,"

The man, Naruto, nodded at her as he left the room before the wedding started. Ino got up and excused herself to go to the bathroom. Aburame Shino tilted his sunglasses as he stood next to the groom and looked closely to the crowd. Hyuuga Hanabi blew her hair up as she stared intensely to the groom and Gaara from Suna, who happens to sit next to the younger sister of Hinata, was staring intensely to Shino. Three dangerous people in one room…

The tension grew stronger when they stood up as the wedding has started. They all turned to the bride who is coming down the aisle slowly. The groom smiles at her warmly while the bride covers her face with the veil.

"So what's the plan detective?" His partner spoke with such intensity

Just as the bride walked toward the groom, the lights suddenly turned off. Everyone felt alarmed and it became hectic. The groom grabbed the bride in the dark but so far nothing has happened.

"It will be dangerous Tenten. I don't know if we could pull it off without the suspect knowing it," Neji said seriously. Tenten nodded at her partner and sipped a drink of whiskey in his office.

"I thought I told you to cancel the wedding Hinata!" a voice cried out in the dark. Just when the shady character was about to attack, the bride kicked the wrist of the shady character and the groom tackled the character down. The lights were turned back on from a puzzled look on Naruto's face when he discovered who it was.

"We will switch our place with Hinata and Kiba,"

"Neji! Are you all right!" Hinata said abruptly as she rushed towards him. Under Neji was the appended character. Neji dusted him off and fixed his tie.

"I'm fine. How's Kiba?" Kiba gave a thumbs up as he placed the handcuffs on the suspect. Tenten coughed and held her chest.

"Since we caught the suspect, let's get the wedding started!" she cheered. Everyone gave a happy cry with their arms pumping up however not everyone was happy…

"It ended for the best, I guess." –Neji

"I feel sad for the newlyweds. All that trouble…" –Tenten

"Naruto is the one you should worry," –Neji

Naruto looked sadly at the suspect. He tilted his hat and whispered good bye. The suspect stared back at him and nodded at him. Naruto waved as the police took her away.

"Ino…I'm going to get revenge for you," he swore. Naruto saw Kiba hugging Hinata at the reception, which made him clench his fist, and whispered as he shut his eyes

"This is not over,"

The Next Day

"Aburame Shino," Tenten blinked. The man in front of Tenten said nothing as he pushed back his sunglasses.

"What are you doing here?"

"I need to speak to Neji," Tenten's left eyebrow cocked up. "He's on his break. What do you need?"

"Kyuubi," he said simply. Tenten nodded slowly

"Ah…what's Kadashi doing now?" Uzumaki Kadashi was the son of the Yondaime, the fourth senator who had disappeared after Kadashi's birth, and the older brother of Naruto. He was the gang leader of the group called Akatsuki and was dubbed the Kyuubi. Kadashi left the gang when Naruto took his place as leader. Naruto dismantle the gang in one year in his terms of the leader. The two brothers don't go along very well and rarely spoke to each other.

"Your ex-boyfriend is charged of murder of the Fourth Senator." Shino said with emphasizing the word 'ex'

Tenten flushed. She had dated Kyuubi in high school years but broke it off with the red-haired boy after finding out he's been selling drugs. She slammed the desk and stared at Shino directly at his eyes behind the sunglasses.

"Kadashi is not capable of murder. Drugs, alcohol, and vandalism maybe but certainly not murder!" Shino tilted his sunglasses up. "I know. I was his best friend, Tenten,"

Shino, Tenten, and Kadashi were friends up until high school. How they separated was still a mystery.

"I don't want to bother Neji. I'll solve this on my own." She mutters in her own breath. Tenten stared up at Shino again. "Who found Yondaime's body?"

"Kyuubi himself." Shino said coolly. "He was the one holding the fourth on his back to the city again. Three gunshots to the chest, a severe blow to the head, you know, the usual,"

Tenten winced. Right, the usual. She sighed while putting her hands on her forehead. "How did you find out Shino?"

"We're the police department Tenten. We know all. Right now not everyone knows the return of Yondaime," he murmured. Tenten sighed at him once more

"Shall we go Shino?" Shino nodded at her. She took her overcoat and hat and headed out to the door. She tipped her hat at Shino as they were ready to go.

'Just like any normal day I suppose,'

Neji

"I wonder how Tenten is holding the office for me," muttered Neji as he took another bite into his burger. Just then someone familiar walked in the room. He cocked his left eyebrow up to see the man in front of him talking a seat across him.

"Ah, it's you again doctor," The man in front of him yawned and gave him a file. Neji's eyebrow lift higher

"What's this?"

"Your next case detective. The fourth senator has been killed."

"He's been missing for ten years and now we find out he's been killed?"

"The wounds are still fresh. It seems he was returning this year but someone killed him before he came," Neji took another bite before looking at the doctor. "So who's the prime suspect?"

"The Uzumaki brothers of course," the doctor said in a bored tone. Neji sighed.

'Of course, Uzumaki Naruto always has to appear in every case,' (note: he is the main character of the show xP)

"What's the report of the autopsy?"

"A large rusty pipe or some type of blunt object rammed at the back of his head. His wrists showed that he struggled buy seeing that he was still alive, the person might've resort into shooting him. Three times in the chest," the doctor said shaking his head.

"Ah…" Neji went eye level with the doctor. The doctor barely grinned. He stared straight into Neji's eyes and whispered at him

"I was told to deliver this to you. This was from fifth," Neji blinked. "Why couldn't she deliver it directly?"

The doctor shrugged at him. "It seems to me she doesn't want the press to know. She just wants to find out who killed Yondaime and fast. Uzumaki Kadashi has already been into custody,"

Neji nodded at him.

"Thank you doctor," The doctor waved his hands off

"I've known you since college. Call me Shikamaru," Neji gave a silent chuckle as he waved the doctor off.

"Uzumaki Naruto…why is that I always see you in every case?" Neji mused. He placed his hands together.

"Uzumaki Kadashi, where have I heard that before?"

Neji took one last bite at his burger before going into his thinking mode.

'I don't think I need Tenten's help with this one. What to do next?'

Just when he finished his burger, Uzumaki Naruto just walked into the diner. Neji leaned back with a smirk on his face.

'Bingo,'

End

Sage: All of my resolution starting to suck. I couldn't think of the wedding part so it was on writer's block that time. Shino works with Kiba in the police department. He was friends with Tenten and Kyuubi (People who are forgotten) before going into the law enforcement while Tenten went to obtain her medical degree (though after meeting Neji, her ideas changed) and Kyuubi…stayed where he was.

Neji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Chouji, and Lee were friends in high school up to college. Neji pursue as a detective, Shikamaru decided to become a doctor though complained here and there, Kiba took the law enforcement, Chouji took over his family's restaurant, and Lee…disappeared after college. Neji kept contact for a while until he left Konoha. It was rumored he was becoming a martial arts champion.

Tenten only knew Naruto through Kyuubi but she never met him until one of the cases came up with Neji. Hinata moved from one school to another school in her senior year. Neji met Kiba in college years through Shikamaru and Hinata met Kiba through Neji. Ino was with Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke in her high school.

All three groups went to different high schools but Tenten and Shino went to the same college as Neji and the others. Kadashi was left behind with his lifetime of petty crimes.

These few chapters will introduce new characters and I'll probably end this story once it hits ten chapters. Ciao for now!
