Different types of vehicles were parked outside of the burnt down house of Naruto Uzumaki. Two fire trucks, two police squad cars, one K9 unit, and an ambulance that wasn't needed. People from the various cars ran around as orders were told by their Captains.
A blonde and raven haired man sat on the back of the open door ambulance, after being forced to a check over. One was extremely pissed, and the other was in a state of shock to what just occurred.
"Sasuke.."
"Hmm?" The other questioned as he glanced at the man next to him, ugly blue blanket falling off of one of his shoulders. Reaching for him, he pulled it back over the shivering tanned body. "What is it?"
Naruto took a shaking breath and closed his eyes. "What am I going to do?"
Sasuke starred in amazement. For once in his life he had no answer to that question, and he could see that Naruto didn't either. They sat in silence for a few minutes before Sasuke answered. "Figure out what's going on, I guess."
The blonde numbly nodded in reply, and silence once more enveloped them.
"Dear God. Naruto, you could have died. Oh my god." Sakura cried hysterically for the second time that day, except this time Tsunade broke down in tears as he hugged the other side of her son. Jiraiya stood behind with a hand firmly on a tanned shoulder.
Sasuke stood back and watched the family gathering in the small room of the police station. He had been asked if he wanted to leave by more then one person, but he refused to leave the blondes side because of a reason he did not know.
"I'm fine, Sakura. Mother. Just stop crying, I don't like it." Naruto whispered lightly, his eyes becoming a darker shade of blue from him being wore down and tired. "I'm alive and well, Thanks to Sasuke." Looking up, he smiled in the ravens direction.
"Hn." Crossing his pale arms over his well built chest he looked away in embarrassment.
Both women seemed to calm considerably, straightening and looking the same way as the blonde. Tsunade wiped her tears with a gentle hand as she moved over. Suddenly, Sasuke found her arms around him in a motherly hug, which surprised him in how much he actually missed them. He returned it after a brief moment out of respect, or so he told himself.
Pulling back, the woman smiled. "Thank you, Sasuke. Thank you so much for saving my son. I don't know what I would have done if I lost him."
Onyx eyes connected with hers and he nodded. "I was only doing what I believed was right, ma'am." He told her and she released him to go back to her son.
The door to the room was carefully pushed open and a silver haired man with a good portion of his face covered poked in. Seeing that it was safe to enter, he opened it the rest of the way and stepped inside. "Well, Hello again." He greeted.
"Kakashi, any news?" Naruto asked quickly, hoping that perhaps this thing with his family would end.
Shaking his head, Kakashi sat down in an open chair and placed a file in front of him. "Not yet Naruto, but its clear that this has something to do with you. Maybe even your family. So," He paused, looking to Sasuke. "I'm opening an investigation to see what's going on and hopefully something will show up. Your family will be put under surveillance from their home; However, you will be accompanied by an undercover officer at all times."
Gapping, Naruto yelled, "What!? I don't need to be baby sat Kakashi! I'm an officer myself, I don't need one watching me!"
Raising a hand, the silver handed man cut off the obnoxious squalling. "I'm aware of that, Naruto. But this is my decision and I want someone with you. Two heads are better then one." Kakashi stated as he opened the file and looked over the papers. Picking out the on he wanted, he slid it over to the boy. There was a bit of information and a picture attached. "This is your new roommate, so to speak."
The room went quiet as the three looked over the white sheet. Naruto looked up with a quizzical glance to his black haired partner. "S-Sasuke?"
Tilting his head in confusion, the mentioned man took a step forward to look over Kakashi at the paper, indeed seeing his own identification picture. Suddenly relief hit him. Even if he didn't know why.
"Yep, Sasuke. I figure he just became your new partner, so why spilt you up? Of course Sasuke has all the training he needs for it as well. It works out perfectly."
Any argument Naruto had about being watched by someone was lost in his mouth. He actually was a little excited that he would be staying with the other man, even if that confused him. He'd never been really attached to someone before. "Alright, Sasuke it is then."
"Great. I'll set you two up with a temporary apartment so Officer Uchiha here won't have to take you in. Plus I don't want you with family for safety reasons." Kakashi rose from the seat and waved as he went to exit.
"There's no need, I don't mind him moving in with me. I've got the room, you know that Kakashi." Sasuke stated boredly, starring off randomly.
Stopping for one a moment, Kakashi nodded. "Of course, if you insist." Taking the silence as an affirmative, he slipped from the room once more.
"Hey Sasuke," Naruto made sure he had the other mans attention before he spoke, "Thank you."
Nodding in a form of a welcome, Sasuke reached a pale hand into his pocket to retrieve his cell phone. He was suddenly feeling guilty again.
'Maybe I can keep you safe.'
"Chief, what's going on?" Kiba questioned as he approached the silver haired man, motioning to the glass filled room of Naruto and his family. Akamaru was leashed next to him, wagging his tail playfully.
"Ah, Kiba. I was wondering when you were coming in. It's about the next shift, correct?" Kakashi ignored what he had asked and instead began to look through a pile of papers in front of him.
Glancing at the standard clock on the wall, Kiba answered, "Yeah, in about ten minutes. But hey, what's up with Naruto?"
Shaking his head he pointed to the normal meeting room. "We'll discuss it when the others arrive. Get everyone in there for me please."
Saying nothing, Kiba watched Kakashi stalk for to his office and shut the door. Shrugging, he tugged on Akamaru's leash and began his own route over to the room.
"Yo. Meeting for the first shift, Now!" He shouted, letting it echo through the halls.
After wishing his family goodbye with hugs and gentle words, Naruto was ushered from the room by his partner who lead him down the hallway. Clearly tried and depressed about his current situation, the blonde was practical dragging his feet. All he wanted to do was crawl into a bed and sleep this whole thing off like it had never happened; however, he doubted he could.
"Nn. God, it's like my whole body hurts to move." Naruto whined to himself, although saying it loud enough that the other man could hear him.
Taking a moment to glance, Sasuke smirked. "You're just tired, Loser. You'll get to sleep as soon as we get home."
Naruto nodded and followed Sasuke into the elevator, leaning against the back wall wearily and rubbed his eyes with his palms, groaning.
Seconds later the door opened to the first floor and they exited into the empty hall. Sasuke glanced around, making sure nothing was out of place and once he was satisfied, he sighed. It was true that he was trained for this sort of thing, but he began thinking he was a little out of practice after what happened to Naruto's house. He should have known.
For the second time today, both men walked out of the large glass door of the police headquarters and started for the familiar black sports car that belonged to Sasuke. Sliding into their own respective sides, it wasn't long until they were on the road to Sasuke's house.
"Thanks again, for everything." Naruto mumbled as he leaned his head against the cold window, liking the feeling against his warm skin. He was tired and weak, both mentally and psychically. He was almost asleep as it was.
Sasuke turned onto the main street and glanced over at his partner. "It's not a big deal, loser."
"Hm, Don't... call me that, bastard."
Sasuke smirked and rolled his eyes, noting the silence of the car, except for the even breathing from Naruto. Hn, the idiot fell asleep against the window.
Reaching for the knob on the radio, he pushed it in. The low sound of jazz filled the car and Sasuke leaned back in his seat slightly. It always seemed to relax him and he was sure that he needed it by now.
In was peaceful out, seeing as it was already the early hours of the morning. From a glance to the clock in the car it was already five am. The road was pretty much clear of any car, except for the occasional car passing by. So when a loud honk came from behind him, it slightly startled him.
Sitting up, Sasuke glanced in the rearview mirror to see a sleek, jet black car behind them. The windows were heavily tinted and that was the first sign Sasuke needed to know the situation had just changed. The second was when it sped up to lovingly tap the back of his sports car.
"Dammit." He swore, swerving into the next lane of the doubled lane street to avoid other bump. Naruto's head connected painful with the window at the jerk to the wheel and he yelped.
"What the hell, Sasuke!?" Opening tried, surprised baby blue eyes, Naruto stole a glanced at Sasuke who was flicking his gaze from the road to the mirrors. What worried Naruto more was the look of anger and determination on the others face. "S-Sasuke?"
"Get down, stay as far down on the ground as you can." He stated, jerking the wheel hard to avoid the other car once more. Seeing no movement, he yelled, "Naruto! Get Down!"
Suddenly Naruto scrambled onto the small space on the floor, mostly on his knees. The other half of his body was bent stomach first on the seat, laying flat.
"What's going on?" The blonde asked, but got no reply as there was a bang from behind of them and the back window shattered into a million pieces, bullet going right past Sasuke's head and out the front. "Fucking god!"
"Jesus, Those assholes." Sasuke cut a hard right onto other street, tire scrapping on the tar before flooring the gas pedal again. The black car didn't seem fazed as it caught up to them again, swerving from side to side behind them widely. Naruto reached behind him and under his shirt to pull on his gun which was hidden there. Leaning up to look out the back, he aimed and fired two shots; however, the other car avoided them to the right.
"Naruto, get down. They're after you jackass." Sasuke glanced over his shoulder as they sped up on his side and rammed into him again. Grunting he held the wheel tighter and tried to escape their path. It was no use though as the they became parallel to him, firing another shot in that Sasuke had to duck to avoid, followed by two more were fired after that and suddenly the car jerked.
Tires lost air from being punctured and the car caught, flipping over from the speed it was at. It then caught on its right side and spun until to rammed into a building on the corner. Steam drifted from the over used and broken engine; the soft sound of static-y jazz flowed out.
Pulling to a slow spot, the passengers door was opened and a tall person stepped out to observe the scene with mild interest. "Maybe this time he'll stay down." The seething voice stated.
"Perhaps. It's like killing two birds with one stone, isnt it brother?" The drive countered and smiled evilly at the scene.
Slowly a smirk spread across the others face and he slide back into the car, slamming the door shut. "Perhaps, Get me out of here, Temari. I don't want to be around when the cops collect their bodies."
"Of course, Garaa. Of course."
